A Wish

One of my closest friends is into a very serious stage of depression. I knew about this only when I was already far from her — when I could not reach her anymore nor she can reach out to me anytime she want to. Well we still make calls but at times a “touch” means more than words to comfort a troubled mind. I did not know that she is into a serious trouble not until someone very close to her told me about it that it has started way back late 90′s and that I could not believe. I always believe that my friend is a happy person and that she and her hubby is my “ideal couple” that is why when the separate ways I just couldn’t believe it. i wish to know the deep truth but I am so far so information was limitted. She’s been into several doctors but none could get out what’s really wrong with her and what causes her depression. Three doctors in three different hospitals gave her some medicines to regulate her moods since that time that she became addicted to it. Just imagine, she can pop up 10 pcs or more of sleeping drugs to make her get to sleep. And she now takes anti-depressants not prescribed by the doctor. So she sort of addicted to these meds who she thinks gave her the “high” she needs. I did realize how the meds affected her the last time we met and bond in Cebu. She was not the cheerful girl or woman I knew before. There was much silence between us but I consier it a bit normal for anyone in her situation but it is abnormal if I really think back to the way we were when were still in our early 20′s. So my wish for real for her this time is drug rehabiliation in a place like this:

Not a small room where u can only see is white walls enclosing you and you are being secluded from the world. In my opinion – it seems it can cause more depression and the more one longs for the meds that makes her ok. I think it takes much effort and courage for an addicted person to be in a drug rehab to be detoxified. Early effects of detoxification can be a real test to one’s moods, but doctors and nurses in rehab centers makes drug treatment a pleasant one.I wish this institution is here in our country and I will surely recommend her to be treated there. Not just anyone with manic depression but those with with alcohol problems too they can be treated at their alcohol rehab. Thank God my cousin is not yet in deep trouble with alcohol but we have this place on our list incase things will get worst.

Tuesday Toot – 3/22/2008

I made it to the Youth Congress Philippine Wide 2008! I almost missed it due to transportation thing. AT the last minute, the vehicle was not available but my spirit was up that I should go. Thanks to the Mayor, my mom allowed that I would go even it was already very late. I felt sorry for my other friends who were left behind. If I just had millions, even two thousand, I would bring you all to that get together even just for one day.

We arrived MVC at a little bit past 6 am and my it was cold. Hehehehe. It ws more than spring cold but I did love it!

Since the dormitory did not allow me to go into their bathroom for a bath, I was able to make it at Ma’am Carthy’s home and myyy she offered me (so embarassing) more than the bath I asked for. She offered me breakfast and also a bed to sleep an hour before I had the bath and then went out to the direction of the church with the aim in mind to mingle with friends. hahahaa. It’s Sabbath but going to church was the last thing on my mind.

I only stayed a day and a half there but I was able to met important people of my college days. I was able to bond with my college best friends (Helen & Maria Riza) pics will be posted later. I met up schoolmates and batchmates that I haven’t seen for a long long time or will never get to meet unless there’s a big gathering like the Youth Congress or Sabbath School Congress. I met up my teachers and wowwww they are so amazed of my size and I am so amaze because some of them become old which may mean am soon to get old too. LOL! My size has more tripled my college size and it really amazed them and it causes a buzz among my friends. hahaha. Hopefully next year or the next after next, I would be smaller. One teacher told me that I still 5 years to work out my health or else when I reach 40 – it’s either I die or be in a terrible disease. He is right. He is already old but still looks so lean and healthy.

So in all >> for my toot today >> I was able to bond with my college best friends. A thing we haven’t done since I graduated in October 1994 and left the campus in January 1995.

And by the way, I promised to meet them again next year – same place & date.

Sudden Horrible Thought

As i was going through the comments left for my first entry at Camera Critters the more I felt missing our lost kitty. Am sure that it was not long after I took this photo that golding miming got lost.

Before he (the yellow one) got lost, weeks back, we also lost 1 of his siblings we really do not have an idea why they are gone and where have they gone. Then suddenly I just thought that a big bad kitty have drag these kitties out of our front lawn and then brought them to secluded places and killed them. I can imagine they are screaming (meaowing) for help. As i said i hate cats but because of these critters i was made to realize that indeed they are also lovable or pettable (what a word!) not just dogs. These kitties meaows so loud that you can’t help to give them your attention. When they were stillyounger, once the front door opens, they like to sneak inside. Now that they have become bigger, they usually spend time at our back door area and meaow so loud when they are hungry – thinking that everytime we go out we are carrying food. It seems I have a way of talking out with them. I talk with them like they are also persons and they look up to my eyes and sort of telling me they understood. hehehehe

Ohhh i miss them. My heart starts to palpate when i imagined they are screaming for help because some bad men are beating him and killed him. huhuhu
