Thoughts On The Crown
What I learned from The Crown is that essentially, the monarchy, or at least the British one, are a sort of government sanctioned and promoted celebrity family. People seem to love them by default whether they deserve it or not, and so the state uses this as an opportunity to promote among other things, proper…

Sakaling Hindi Makarating – 5/10
So, the things I found wrong with it: Alessandra de Rossi is good, but she seems too old for the youngish guy in the Marinduque scenes, and in addition to that, an absolute cold blooded B in the way she left him after he and his sister extended so much hospitality to her. Sure we’re…

Passengers 7/10
I love sci – fi of almost any sort, and the premise behind this is exactly the type of sci – fi I grew up with. What if on a 90 year journey to a new world you are awoken sometime in the middle and now face the prospect of having to live the rest…

La La Land 10/10

My MRI Report
So here’s the MRI report from Makati Med. Thankfully they were open on Sunday as we would never have had the time or even ability to go pick it up on a weekday. Just one of the many hurdles I want to write about that would point out perfectly avoidable issues if there was a non…

Update – My Ortho Cannot Commit A Date For The Surgery Within The Month
So I finally have the certifications from my nephrologist and cardiologist, the two certifications my Orthopedist requires before I proceed with the surgery. I texted his secretary to tell him about it, and she did, but it took a day and two other follow up texts for her to tell me some bad news, which…

Update on Update
It’s 939 am Oct. 3, Monday and I am waiting to go to meet a cardiologist at Hi Precision Sucat. This lady doctor will then prescribe lab tests that will help me get the one of two medical certificates that will allow me to finally get the microdiscectomy I need to finally get the pain out of my…
