Tongue-Tied

Hmmm...not for lack of things to say but for flexing my tongue in every imaginable way just to imitate Mandarin sounds as closely as possible. Watching all these Asian Dramas makes me want to learn a a new language, particularly Chinese. Not that I'm making any progress though...

Lately, I've been listening to Jolin Tsai, Rainie Yang, David Tao and some other Chinese singers whose name I cannot even pronounce much less understand what they're singing about...but I'm enjoying it a great deal.

Yeah,  I could either be losing my mind or just way too bored (I hope it's the latter) In fact I find this new "hobby" amusing. Surprisingly, I can even understand some words now, well at least be able to distinguish sounds...

So what's the point of all these??!! Nothing really...well, actually, It's just a warning.. if you do give me a call and you hear me say  "Wei" instead of the usual "Hello", dont freak out and hang up...you've reached the right number!!

Zai jian!

Dry Eyed?!??!!

Ok, so while waiting for my next online class, I figured i'd better get something scribbled in these boring blog page of mine. Lately, I've been feeling a bit down under the weather. A few weeks past, I lost my voice oh and yeah, did I mention I'm a teacher?!!?!! I recovered but still have some hoarseness left in these vocal cords, Well, my voice is my bread and butter so...i needed it back badly! After a fit of coughing and awfully bad sounding voice, my concerned boss asked me to try the Chinese way of treating cough and so...thanks to Pei Pa Koa I got better more quickly than I thought..

And so now I got over that and now am feeling better...or am I? NOT!!@@!! I've been having some dizzy spells and getting lightheaded ever so often...so i thought..hmmm could I have hypertension for eating too much lechon? BP test results indicates otherwise..so what can it be?!! My eyes, I guess...so I went to see an opthalmologist...after all the tests he concludes I have Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome...what?!!! Not to worry...he says, "it can be treated" just drop these vials of liquid in your eyes and should be back to normal in 6 months or so...heck, had I known he wanted me to cry, I could have recalled every episode of One Liter of Tears (Ichi Rittoru no Namida) so I could have shed some more tears and filled that tear strip!

Well, that's not really all of my health worries! To top it all off...i have an icky zit near my hairline and I've accidentally run my comb into it a gazillion times and now it looks like one disgusting boil!!!

Had I not been watching the  Japanese drama I mentioned above, I would have said more about such a mundane health issue, but  my life has been touched by an incredibly brave girl who faced a most difficult challenge...living a life knowing and feeling that everyday life seems to ebb away...

Senseless

To blog or not to blog...what a cliche! Well, I don't have any idea why I'm scribbling senseless words in my blog page, but then again, "why the hell not?!! It's my page!! I seriously doubt anyone would read this. Unless of course, you are way too bored with your life that you'd bother reading an entirely non-sensical and time-comsuming piece of junk. As a friend used to say, "if you have nothing worth saying, then it's best that you shut up." In which case, I'd heed that advice since I really have nothing to say..so I am "shutting up" or better yet "shutting down" my PC and get some "shut-eye"...
