Falcon Aftermath

The recent storm had given my father serious problems with his car. You see, he and my mother always had to drive from Binangonan to Quezon City twice a week for my mother's dialysis session. Her sessions are always at night. It starts at 11pm and ends at around 3am, depending on how the session progressed. And these past few days, it was always a downpour at night.

The heavy rains and the flooded streets brought some damages to my father's car. He wont be needing something like these Toyota repairs I read about online.  The repair service has a complete list of Toyota cars where users can click to be able to get the right service for their car. The website's Brake Rotor and Disk Replacement for various cars would have been perfect if my father owns any of the cars from their list. Even the Engine Oil and Filter Change would have been great.

Father will be delivering his car at a nearby shop and avail similar services  because the breaks and filters are the ones really damaged by the recent events.

Missing Mom

The number of medicines my mother take every day; I have lost count. She has been a diabetic for two decades now. Twenty years of not enjoying cakes, ice cream, chocolates and anything sweet had been my mother’s lifestyle ever since she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I remember having a book, well more of a menu, for my mother’s diet back in the day. We used to follow that faithfully. But through the years, we just learned and got used to how food was supposed to be prepared for my mother. Like her decaffeinated coffee must either be served black or with little sugar. Or how the egg should be poached instead of fried to avoid salt because salt is also bad for my mother’s kidneys. She also had been advised to go to dialysis sessions twice a week due to complications of her diabetes.

It’s is still comforting to know that I have not been asked by my father to research on where can i buy tramadol online. Sure, my mother had episodes of stomach pains here and there before, but not as severe needing to buy tramadol online no prescription. But my mother definitely underwent a lot of change after the complications of diabetes started to manifest. She went from a very active person to not being able to do the tasks she would normally do every day. She loves moving around, checking and making sure everything is neat and organized around the house like normal mothers would do. Fixing and arranging things in the living room is her favorite. She would ask me to help her change the curtains, the table mats and sofa sheets. I remember giving up writing my review on tramadol for sale online one time just to help her.

I miss my mom.

Incubus Tribute Party On July 14 at B-Side

Saw this poster on Facebook earlier. Incubus will be having a concert here in Manila on July 29. The event is in preparation for the concert to give fans a warm-up for the real thing. I thought I misread the poster the first time I saw it (like when I discovered I still have rhino metal buildings to write about when I thought I am done with everything, wah)...but it was clear; LIME will be playing at the Incubus Tribute Night! I have been a fan of the band from way back , but they always have their gigs in Laguna where they are based. Laguna is at least five hours away from where I live so I never had the chance to watch Lenard, Eric and Ian play.

Finally, LIME will be in Makati for a gig! Yay!

Chronic

Chronic pains. Been reading about them since this afternoon. Wikipedia defined is as a pain that can be classified into two types; the nociceptive and neurophatic. Nociceptive pains are cause by the activation of nociceptors while neurophatic pains are caused by damage to or malfunction of the nervous system. One of the most popular medicine to treat these kinds of conditions is Tramadol.

Tramadol is a synthetic drug commonly used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It is a part of the class of drugs known as opiate agonists, and is believed to work much in the same way a morphine does. A tramadol prescription online website described the drug as the mild version of morphine that’s why it is deemed safe for use. I have never been in a chronic pain, and no members of my family had experienced one either (thank heavens). As far as I know, pain relievers should be prescribed by doctors. But there are other types of pain relievers one can buy even online. Check out this link on where the best place to buy tramadol is.

There must be tramadol purchase online for customers to enjoy, but one should still remember that having yourself checked first before taking anything is the best option. Pain, in any forms, is our body’s way of telling us that something’s not right (but of course, what else could it be). But seriously, pain is something one should take seriously.

Movie, Friends and Gravity

Hi.

Welcome to my blog. Thank you for spending the time to visit the house of my thoughts. I know I haven't been able to really update you guys about what's been up with me and my life. Checking my Inbox this morning, a client was asking me to write something about sexy camouflage lingerie. They must've mistaken my blog as one of those who really write about these topics. But oh well, a client request is a client request.

I do not know how may times I have typed a word and deleted them again to start this paragraph for the past ten minutes. There are a lot of things that has and had been inside my head that need to be written down for the past weeks and I have come to the moment where I do not know what to share first. I can sum up my thoughts with these words: Movie, Friends and Gravity.

Movie. Been helping out and working on a documentary about Up Dharma Down for the past five months. How time flies. I only realized that it has been almost half of the year that I have been contributing for this documentary. And I love every second of it. The past three months have been spent with shooting additional footage, talking to people about the band and sending out letters and request for the different videos that'll be used for the film. The working title for the project is A Week In Metro Manila: Up Dharma Down.

Salamat, Tony! :)

Friends. Working with the Up Dharma Down movie has one of the best rewards: finding a friend in Tony Rago, the film's producer and director. It is true what they say about finding friends in the most strange and unexpected ways. I never thought that asking him if he wanted to be one of the Administrators of the Tumblr site I made for the band that we both adore would lead to this very inspiring friendship. Finding and meeting people, even though they are on the other side of the world, that you felt this 'connection' to is a blessing. Well, I do not know if Tony share the same sentiments, but I still am glad that I can consider him as one of my friends. The thought of someday finally meeting him in person (he's in Chicago) gives me both excitement and fear. Excitement, because the friendship had been interesting even if it's just in the confines of the online world. And I can finally give him the hugs he deserve when we finally meet in the flesh. Fear, because as he joked when we first started talking five months ago: we might hate each other when we finally meet. But that I highly doubt. :D

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Tony for the early birthday present he sent me a few weeks ago. Well, make that birthday-slash-thank you gift because I have been an awesome P.A. for his film, heee. I know this is a late post, but it's better late than never. It was the first time that someone actually bought something from my Amazon Birthday Wishlist. Something that I not only NEED but also WANT. And for that I am eternally grateful.

Speaking of friends, I have been very lucky. 2011 must be my year when it comes to friendship. Aside from the 2nd family I have at the office (hi Sherwin, Olive, Gene, Sandy, Kuya Rey, Ony, Sir Jun and Sir Nicko! :)), I am glad that lately, if our schedule permits, I have been able to spend a lot of time with my childhood friends like my best friend Marife, and Mark, Albert and Fideliz.

Gravity. Would I give in to it's pull and let myself fall?

Super 8: In A Flash!

I never really appreciated the benefits of SM Tatay mall being just 30 minutes away from where I live until yesterday. With only barely four hours to my self, I was able to watch Super 8 and made it back home when I was needed. The screening was 1:45, ended around 3:40. So I was like in a jeepney, then went straight to the cinema, watched the movie, went out and then rode a jeepney going home. It was literally a watch-and-go!

So on with my review: 

Of course, like other great films I have seen for the past years, I first saw an article and the trailer of this film at FilmShowing.net. That web site has a chock full of updates and reviews on both commercial and independent films.

At first, I thought this was Spielberg's come-back film. The last time he had a directorial project was with Indiana Jones in 2009. But he's only one of the producers. JJ Abrams was the one who wrote and directed the film. Thought JJ Abrams ring a bell when I first saw that name: he was the creator of Felicity, a popular TV show in the mid-90s.

A movie with a bunch of kids creating a film for a festival. Nothing too mind-boggling and interesting about it right? But one fateful, curfew-and-law-breaking night changed it all when Charles (Riley Griffiths), Joe (Joel Courtney), Alice (Elle Fanning) and the rest of them aspiring thespians went shooting on location at the train station. In the midst of filming their scene, the train got derailed!

Weird things started happening after that train accident.

Super 8. The title in itself is somewhat predictable in a way. If you are into films and film making, you'll know what I mean. The film started out a bit blah, but after that train scene, everything catapulted into one hell of a hunt. There was nothing complicated with it's plot and screenplay, but it was surprisingly very engaging. The unraveling of the key points of the film made this very simple film into a somewhat complex, mind-boggling story.

The train scene and the ending scene was definitely the highlight of this film.

J.J. Abrams might have written and directed this film, but it definitely has a Spielberg feel to it: the subtle dramatic lighting, beautiful camera angles, kids as the hero of the story, and ending the film in a completely unexpected Spielberg way.

I gave it a 9 out of 10.

P.S. Stay till the credits of the film to watch Charles' (who forgot his rechargeable batteries at one scene in the movie) whole short film for the festival ;)

Aches

Been reading about articles about where to order cheap tramadol. A client asked me to write three hundred words about it. Three hundred. Thank heavens it's only three hundred words and not five hundred or even a thousand. Words about something that is not really that popular is hard to write. Well, one purpose of the article on my blog is for it to be popular. I have been asked to write something similar for the past weeks. That is something. Maybe they've been getting a lot of hits from my blog that's why I've been receiving a lot of similar assignments lately.

These companies have been spreading the news on how to purchase tramadol online. Online medicine purchases have its limits. As far as I know, medicines like tramadol and other pain relievers should be prescribed by doctors before one could purchase it. Tramadol, I read from a blog, is a mild version of morphine. Morphine is a very strong type of drug and I think only hospitals give them from where I live. Strictly implementing that rule is somewhat great because it avoids medical troubles.

More on Steve Wyrick

He would continue to head South down the Strip to headline at one of the largest resorts on the Strip, the Aladdin Resort & Casino. In January 2007 Steve opened the $35 million dollar Steve Wyrick Entertainment Complex at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Adam Kutner

Adam Kutner cooking.  The birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and the grass is growing. As the weather starts to warm up and the days grow longer, there is one thing that takes precedence in my thoughts. Grilling. Summer cooking means one thing to me, moving the kitchen outside. My grill has sat covered and dejected all winter long, crowned with leaves, then snow, it has waited out the seasons like a hibernating bear. Now that the sure signs of spring are here, I will help it stretch, yawn and fully awaken. There is nothing better than the first grilled meal following a long cold winter.

Steve Wyrick

Magic has been a lifelong passion for Steve Wyrick. As a child growing up in Texas, he often practiced magic and the art of illusion for his friends. His passion eventually led him west to Las Vegas. Twelve years ago, he became the youngest Las Vegas headliner ever when his show debuted at Lady Luck in downtown Las Vegas. Steve Wyrick.

Sprain

This aircast airsport ankle brace was given to me as an assignment to write about. I've never had to wear one of these, thank heavens. But studying about how they work is interesting. The one in the picture is the strap-up kind. Designed for the chronic ankle sprains, this ankle brace incorporates features of the clinically-proven design and support one needs to recover easily from injury.

True Blood Season 04, Episode 01 First 3 Minutes

After its long hiatus, True Blood will be back on 26 June for its 4th Season. Someone posted the first three minutes of the new season on YouTube.





Season 03 felt like forever and I cannot remember any single episode. So I think I know what to do this weekend...or maybe I should start my marathon tonight.
