Been really busy. A very full plate. This'll probably last until the end of the sem. I can't believe that I have so many exams to look forward to for the next weeks. Good thing I do not have to do any more of those long papers like the ones I did in Humanidades 1 and KomII, still there is a journal report and a barangay field work report to look forward to.

Crap! I lost my glasses. They didn't even last for 1 week. My parents still do not know about them. I plan to buy my own pair as soon as I save enough money. Hopefully, I'll find cheap, light and nice glasses(and, they probably should look really similar to the ones I lost). No headaches though, thank goodness.

Even though, few(only me) read this blog I'd still like to warn everybody of this website I recently found. The Dengue Cure website by Mr. Edwin Casimiro. The website offers some uh...advice on how to cure and treat dengue. Some are benign and acceptable, like getting enough bed rest and offering comfort to the sick(though once the sick is in the near 40's he or she doesn't really notice any thing that much) to weird like eating lots of fruit to downright stupid, electrotherapy to kill the virus and to never ever trust doctors and hospitals.

The weird thing is the advice he gives will probably work most of the time since dengue is not really cured by any drug. Our body manages to neutralize the virus on its own, it just needs a little more energy. That is why treatment for it is only supportive therapy(IV feeding and rehydration) for most individuals especially those who were healthy when they were infected.

In my case, I spent only 2 days in trance mode due to the fever but after that I was feeling quite well. The only thing I needed was IV therapy because of my extreme loss of appetite, vomiting the previous days and my inability to eat(I was too tired). I didn't even need a plasma transfusion. I haven't read any real studies but for those who I know contacted the disease, their cases were similar to mine as they managed to defeat the disease without ingestion of any drugs.

On the other hand, the website contains this herb which promises to kill the virus(not that I think this would be really significant as we've seen most cases resolve with proper supportive therapy) which scientists could look into.

Bumaba raw ang grado ng salamin ko. Hindi na naman iyon mataas sa simula't-simula pa lang. 50 noon at, pagkatapos ng 1 yr, 25 na. Ewan ko kung accurate iyon kasi hindi naman nagamitan ng machine tulad noong diagnosis sa akin last year. Sana nga totoo at parang totoo kasi hindi na ako masyado nagkaka-sakit sa ulo dahil sa mata kahit buong araw ko hindi suot salamin ko at nag-aaral pa para sa mga exam.

Paano ba yan? Mababawasan na ang taray at katakot powers ko kung bumalik pa sa normal ang mata ko. Tutal hindi naman talaga dapat ako nagsasalamin kasi napakaburara kong nilalang.

Crap. I forgot my glasses in the dance studio. How can someone forget their own glasses? Then again, I am one of the few people in the world who managed to throw their retainers with the garbage. My parents don't know about it, I still see fine and, hopefully, headaches from eye strain won't come. And fortunately, I've been wanting to replace those heavy, very dirty, very scratched and very crooked glasses.

Internet connection was down from Monday to Wednesday. Goy sick on Wednesday and still feel a bit ill. Two exams for next week, and two more the week after that.

This month sucks...

Happy New Year!
