Alive Again

It's good to be back and blogging again. The past week was so dreary and stagnating... I'm glad it's over! My mom gave me the cold shoulder for some time. That's the longest 2 weeks of my life. I'm not sure if I lost some weight. I couldn't eat dinner properly and enjoy the food because the silence was deafening. Imagine...silent movie.
Finally, she gave up. I missed my mom tremendously. I missed sharing the good news with her. I wanted to tell her that the company name we applied for at Papua New Gueinea got approved already and our application to the medical board is being processed already. She's always the first person I talk to about this. Yesterday, she decided to break her silence. A simple peace offering from her told me what I needed to know. Whew! I thought it would never end. Rejoice!!!

I attended some seminars sponsored by a pharmaceutical company and The Philippine Anti-Aging Medical Society (PAAMS) this week. All about vanity and fitness. I was contemplating on penetrating the world of dermatology. I never had the opportunity to affirm my calling into this field of medicine...until now. I got my groove back! Thanks to our friend, Dr. Sarah Barba. She introduced the famous Dr. Joel Mendez to us...the man who started it all. I learned some anti-aging techniques...from botox to the mesotherapy popularized by celebrities. I also saw how some dermatologists look like. My, oh my! I was expecting a lot! I've streotyped them to be the most appealing if not more physically presentable among doctors. I just believe that you should practice what you preach. If its beauty that you're selling, i guess it's only proper to present yourself that way. The least they can do is to take care of their skin. I know I'm being superficial but isn't dermatology also just skin deep? Anyway, I would have gone into training if not for our plan to vanquish the country. After our quest for greener pastures is done, give me at least 3 years for this, I'd definitely pursue a career in dermatology. Wait for me.

While taking a break during the seminar, I took my camera out for some shots. I was on the roofdeck of a building trying to find a nice view or an interesting element when a call center employee made a comment. She bluntly said that I was weird. Darling, I would rather be described as eccentric. What's wrong with photography? Nasty girl!

The knots on my back are killing me. All this tension took a toll on me, the result... more MPS (myofascial pain syndrome). A massage would be nice at this point.

To release some pressure, I did what I do best...shopping, eating and movies! I'm feeling much better now!

The night was still young so we attempted to go to baywalk for the 1st time. Despite the drizzle, we went for a stroll. The rain was unforgiving and poured on us. I was already thinking of what to order. Oh well, another nightlife cut short. At least, I can sleep better now.
