May Fever

It's really a month that I have not posted anything. I did it on purpose. During the last week of April there's something that directed me not to write on May. Let's just say that this May has been a blogging holiday for me, and as well as a best holiday for me. Below are just some things that happened to me last month:

Health

I always wanted to "reduce" my uber weight, but somehow I'm really stubborn. You know what happened to me? Here it goes. It was sometime the second week of May, and I felt something heavy at the back of my neck. I really thought it was an attack of high-blood pressure. I rested for a day, but on the next day it came again. I cannot work with something that bothers me. So I went to a nearby clinic to check my blood pressure. They say I am normal (120 over 90). For the whole week they say that I am normal. Damn! I called my mom and told her about this. I am afraid that they say I am normal and I feel restless. I asked my officemates and Nova told me that it might be "mild stroke" - and I am pretty scared. I just calmed down and prayed. There's a eureka that came into my mind. I took of my eyeglasses, and for four days the "bad feeling" subdued. So without hesitation, I went to a neuro-opthalmologist and had my dose of check-up. The doctor says I have a "depression" in the eye which is located into the nerve itself (I can't recall all things she told me - it's too "medical" for me). She says that I need it operated, but she gave me 6 months observation. So, I just had my glasses changed and viola, everything went fine, but my mind still thinks of that 6-months observation. And not only that, I still have to get a heart and lungs check from the other doctors to see if I am healthy. DARNS ... now I will forced to have gym sessions.

Work

Now without our boss, everything turned out different. As one of the "team leader" in the programming department, I'm kinda stressed to check out everything that's happening in our crib. Not also to mention, I have to converse to other programming managers in Utah just to update on a certain project and check whether we are to setup it and/or do preliminary data processing. It's kinda busy you know. For the whole month, I feel like I am dragging myself near stress, and for like after 5 hours of work I kinda fell asleep for an hour (that's why I always extend my stay in the office). I promised my boss before he went out that I make a system that would be easy for us to check programs, but until now I only had it 30% done (too many drafts - and I have a feeling that one head cannot do all the thinking).

Friends

Now with the IT peeps of our school near our house, there had been like "drinking sprees" lately. An officemate of ours owns a sizzling place, and after work we go out there to eat and drink (not to mention they have a nice videoke inside). Our DOTA friends too always invites us for DOTA games and drinking sprees after. So it's like EVERYDAY had been a drinking spree for us (unhealthy, isn't it?). I am glad that I have friends here. My life has been boring before, but with them I feel like I am at home.

Family

I am so thankful for my family. They give me strength and encouragement in life. My mom would always say "Patrick you need to save money" and somehow with my health experience I learned a lesson that I should budget everything. Also to mention that I need to organize things because since before, that's the part where I always fail.

Music and Gigs

Wow I cannot imagine that I have seen live Fra Lippo Lippi for just 300 pesos. It's worth the fun listening to old songs in a while with friends. For the month of May it's just that event that I have seen. I cannot imagine Cebu doesn't have "good" gigs this summer compared last year when GMA and ABS were all here, and so are the other "music industry" icons. It's so silent - and the Nipa hut's videoke had been my friendly music gig place!

Movies

I have watched X-men 3 and The Da Vinci Code. Here are my words: X-men 3's dull, and The Da Vinci Code's shallow. I can cry popcorn on X3 (I cannot imagine Cyclops died just by kissing Jean Grey, and Wolverine loves Jean Grey by striking her with his adamantium claws). The Da Vinci Code is somewhat different in the book (that's why I am wondering if it's best to read the book and watch the movie after or is it the other way around). And it's just this month only that I knew that Sir Ian Mckellen's gay (Oh my).

Love Life - Nah let's not talk about it. I'm kinda barren to that.


So that's for the month of May. That month had been nearly "tragic" to me. I thought that I might end up in a hospital, but thank God He have given me much strength to carry on.

And guess what??? I am now enjoying the uber-tech of Nokia N70. Pretty cool!!!
