Up(down)dates

  1. I was advised by my EENT doctor to undergo tonsillectomy because according to him my tonsils are already useless and therefore must be removed. I told him I'll consider it. Good: It's covered by my medical insurance. Bad: I'll have to pay his and the anesthesiologists professional fees. Worst: I was earlier (last year ata) about to undergo the procedure but I backed out. It was supposed to be completely covered by my insurance, but it would take place in a hospital with a shady rep. (A brod died there!)
  2. I volunteered for a translation work with http://www.scn.org/cmp/index.htm which is associated with http://www.onlinevolunteering.org/. I began with a simple poem which I think is a sort of pre-test for me. It was to be translated from English to Cuyunin using a neat translation program CatsCradle. It was fun because I get to use my home dialect for a cause.
  3. It's very hot and humid in Cavite these past few days. Whew.
