Faris and War!

Just yesterday, my son was able to get out of the hospital. We took him with my parents coz he was vomiting and had a recursive fever. Since he is a bit chubby, the nurse had to punch the needle in 3 times. We were really worried at that time since he was really crying hard and had great chances of an asthma attack. After the third try and 20 mins of crying, they were able to find the vein and insert the dextrose tube. Then, several test we’re conducted to him, including the ever painful skin test in which he really looked so hurt. 2 days after, all test results posted normal, and we were discharged.

On another news, war breaking out in our place! I wasn’t able to blog about this but yeah, right now I’m in my home town that is full of chaos. Yesterday at 5:30 pm, 2 bombs went off inside city property. One was at a motel near the National High and the other another hotel few blocks from the old gaisano building. Then just a few hours from now, a jeepney and a bus in maigo and kauswagan [neighbouring towns] was taken and people in it were massacred. At the moment, the town right next to us, which is linamon is under attack by the MILF and they say iligan’s gonna be next. God how I wish I was given a fire arm and a licence to kill

Twitter vs Plurk!?!

Just yesterday, again my wife has introduced me into a new social micro blogging service that is hot on today’s web news. Yup, I’m talking bout Plurk. The service gives you lots of options that are much like twitter’s only, + more. As twitter let’s you update you status so to keep everyone you know notified of what you are doing. Plurk on the other hand, is more on blogging about what’s going on in your life. something I have been looking for a long time, although it didn’t really match my preferences. But heck, you can’t please everyone.

But of course, with pro’s also comes cons. one of the things I dislike about plurk, is the so called karma. You gain karma if you post on plurk, reply on your friends plurk’s, or at best, do site activities. Attaining a certain karma level allows you to unlock certain site features, like being able to change your background, more smilies and change of characters [upper right logo]. Not that I dislike it and all, but the certain feature discourages users to use plurk as it is. They cannot change their background coz they still don’t have enoug karma, they cannot use certain smilies, etc… And it’s really hard since plurk just started, you don’t have any friends to whom you may have activities with.

Since plurk is still on development period [not to mention they still haven't released API] I think I’ll just use both for fun and experimentation. But until plurk alone satisfies my needs, I’m with twitter.

Anyways, I’ve uploaded a couple of new pics of my son on my FaceBook here. I’ve also created a doll² and plurk page for fun. Ciao all.

My choices has only created chaos…

To have a mother who can’t put away her pride even for the sake of her own grandson. How much I wish I had never been born or if possible, she wouldn’t have been my mother.
