FUNctional
I have always been obsessive compulsive. One of the quirks I have as a result of that is my inability to write effectively if I happen to be writing on coarse paper using a Panda ballpen. You must now be shaking your head in disbelief but I swear I have two other friends who are like me (in an expression of feigned ignorance).
So when I was in school, I always begged my mom to buy me Corona notebooks. I would smell the crisp and smooth pages and I would be in heaven. I am also quite addicted to fine point pens and the PILOT brand is my best friend.
Giving birth to a new blog!
It is ironic that I stopped blogging at Viewpoint because I could not maintain it. However, I just launched a new blog called LARAWANG PINOY for my Flickr group Larawang Pinoy. Let us just say, LP, as we fondly call it is fast growing and the chances that it would be viewed at least 670 per week would not be bad.
However, it is not only the readership that was considered. First and foremost, the main objective of Larawang Pinoy Blog is to feature amateur photographers who are experts in their own right.
Gracing the launch of the LP blog is a feature on Von Punzalan, who bagged the Aliwan Fiesta 2008 Photo Contest. He bested 1490 entries. He only had 7 lucky entries.

Realization
Yesterday, we (together with my mom and Floyd again) went to Las Piñas Lying in Center. I’m not really sure why of all places but I think we need a referral letter from one of the doctors there in order for us to use my mom’s green card. Well, a green card is somewhat similar to philhealth/medicare, which can give us up to PHP25,000 (I think). It’ll be a great help definitely.
We arrived there around 8 in the morning and it opened up around 9:30. Honestly, I was really irritated from the start since I know Lying Ins are for pregnant women – I’m not even pregnant and what worse is that I’m sick. Plus, I thought that they will check me up again but it turned out that all we really need is their signatures! :b-boiling:
When we entered the doctors area and when my mom told them what we need, the doctors and the staff got a little confused (I’m not really sure what happened!) and somewhat the transaction (or what ever you call it) got messed up. Since I was kind of irritated from the beginning I threw out a tantrum (I don’t really know why I did that) and then a woman doctor suprisingly said to me in such a negative/sarcastic tone (in front of everyone): Hija, pipirmahan naman namin yan kaya wag ka nang sumimangot. Kahapon ka pa nakasimangot! (Hey! We will sign that so stop frowning! You have that kind of face since yesterday.) (@_@) Of course, I quiet down, I was shocked! Read the rest of this entry here »
