Right to be fussed-over

Why do parents think that it is very okay on every thing that concerns their health? My mother, lady who well looks younger than her actual age and very hardworking, was telling me about the fainting spell she about a week ago, nonchalantly. I was, well, speechless.

The way she said it, as though it was no big deal. She had indigestion problems that day, she said, suspected caused from consuming mushrooms. A bout of vomitting followed well into the night, I was told. During one trip, I forget the details, but she did mentioned she was holding the door knob when she felt dizzy and almost black-out. What was the word she used, 'layu'. That, I think, was serious enough.

Then she proceeded to add, after that, though I am not sure how soon after, she went to the washroom, having felt discomfort in her bowels. Standing up from the bowl and heading towards the sink, which need not any more than a step, she fainted! She fell head first, her face hitting the mozaic-tiled floor, faced down! What gets into me was how she was smiling while pointing at the scars where the bruises from the fall were healing! I can't believe it! She's taking the whole thing so un-seriously, as though the scars were bonuses or something to be happy for!

I rapted her for that. Questioning her for details, she added, happily(?) that she even took medical leave the next day. What? The next day?! I was very angry and sad and dismayed and confused, all at the same time. That they, my father and mother, only decided to go see the doctor the next day?!! Oh My Goodness, what was going on in your respective minds at that time, father and mother?

Pressed on, she related that the doctor gave her only normal medicine, no referral or letter of recommendation to visit the hospital for, perhaps a further check up, or X-ray. No need, she had given her own diagnosis. Perhaps, just lacking of air due to ingestion. I really cannot stand it anymore. Clearly, this is no simple matter. If you need to give your own diagnosis, then definitely, you know something's wrong. Why can't she see that? Why can't they see that? Why can't the doctor see that? Or perhaps, doctor was not aware of it? Speechless..

She even had the cheek to add that she was lucky enough have not-too-bad bruises. If she had knocked on the basin, she would had worse bruises. I really cannot fathom her logical thinking at this point. Hitting huge wate-filled basin would spell disaster! What then if she fell head first into the basin??!!! How could she say, it was lucky??!!!

Clearly, I am in no position to understand the way her mind works and process things. I do not think that I want to. It's just wrong. You do not say it's alright after suffering all these. Perhaps indigestion might have caused all these, but it's not okay. It must have been a very very bad state of indigestion for all these to happen. And that means, something is very wrong. It is just not alright. I am bewildered too, as to why my father failed to act upon those, seriously. Just visiting the clinic is not enough. He, of all person, should know that.

You have the right to be fussed-over. It is not wrong. I am the right to fuss over you, just like you had over us, when we were little, suffering but only bouts of the normal fever or cough or flu. If force is needed, it will be applied, for I think that you need a medical check up, thoroughly done, to check and confirm and affirm.

June's (!) here !!

The Big JUNE is finally here! After a long wait, it finally has come. I'd be lying to say that I am not waiting for it. For months, it has been the plan to wait for June, before any announcement can be made.

What announcements? That might be swirling in the heads of some. Well, announcements of sorts. Who I am now, Where I am, and How I am. Definitely! I am me, un-single, yet not un-attached. I've moved from the place I was living, from the people I was living with, from the house I was living in, to this new place that I am living, with new people that I am living with and in a new place that I am living in. Am I doing well? I feel so. Yes! Loving every minute of it and living every second of it!

That's all? Maybe..not. That's not all. There's another pending announcement to make, but it's not mine to make, alone. Definitely, it's a mutual decision. Why June? Well, a study, a very unprofessional study, was made and then a timeline graph was charted, for me. From that study, it was decided that June would be the month of executions.

June! Do hope that this June will not bring much cowardice in me. All the announcements requires tons and tons of courage and bravery. Yours truly is but famous for backing out at the last minute, no. So, she definitely hope that this June will be one of executions, not exclusions!

Alas, hoping that this June will not pass without waiting for me. June, please yeah, do not go too fast., not like May. Do wait for me. Have mercy for me to have my announcements made. Only then, if you want to whizz pass me, you may!

another writer, i'm excited!

Yesterday, I saw a very interesting note from a friend. She's writer, yes, she is. She has written some very interesting articles and posts over time in social applications such like multiply, facebook, friendster, etc.

This girlfriend is one very talented writer. She writes, and writes very well. Her ideas always clearly stated and simply put. Her topic of interests, wide but very identifiable. I have to admit, I look forward to reading her writings, the few ones that she wrote about.

It never did occur to me then, that she did not have a blog. Worse, did not cross my mind to actually ask her to have one. All the time, the places where she'd share her thoughts and spread her insecurities had been those places where I'd be able to access, no restrictions. Everywhere, yes, but everywhere too, I'd follow. No complains.

So when just a couple days ago, if my memories fail me not, she mentioned that she finally had a blog created for herself, I was a little surprised. Then only it dawned to me that yes, she actually had not any blogs under her belt. She has been writing and posting but not in a blog. The birth of the blog might be pushed and persuaded upon her, yet, I have this little hunch that this little action is THE big stepping stone towards her happiness in time to come.

Last I checked, in just a couple of days, she has managed a few postings! Areas covered included introduction, promotion and indecision. So well thought of! How great can that be right? Really, I now have another blog to notice and learn from. I'm really excited!
