This May Be My 300th Post in the Last 5 Years but that's Alright With Me!
I've been busy doing too many things and nothing at the same time. I've been spending my nights planning. Yeah. Big plans ahead. Uhuh. Mom questioned me the other day though, saying after six months and I'm still not done with planning. Well, the general idea is there but now I'm down to the nitty gritty stuff. Being the Virgo perfectionist that I am, I like to be prepared, well-informed, know all my options and well have lots of Plan B, C & D in case Plan A falls flat.
I'm not complaining though. Part of the joy of the entire thing is planning. It's like I'm half way there already. *grins*
Wait. That wasn't what this post is about. Where was I? Oh ya. Hiyashibeeps's 300th post! It's really a very humble amount but like I said, "It's alright with me." So here's a little something to kick-start 2011 with upbeat possibilities. Enjoy while I continue to plan my grand scheme for March. Muahahahahaha!

Summing up December in 500 words
Warning: This would be one of the few posts that were written in one straight go, without the usual think-write-read-edit process. It’s a total pour of words without proper structure, proper sentencing, proper formatting, etc.
Here goes!
December was the down month of the year. Seriously, not the best way to end the year. Grandpa got admitted to hospital because of fever, which was suspected to be dengue, which later was proven not. “Chikungunya”, that’s what the doctor said. Anyhow he was weak all over. If that wasn’t bad enough, dad got a sudden lapse of heart pain while he was visiting grandpa. Thus, dad got admitted to hospital.
Talk about irony.
Then talk about being lucky it actually happened in a hospital where immediate attention was given.
Sigh.
So it turned out dad got a serious blood clot in one of his blood vessels and a minor operation, or like how the doctor put it “a procedure” was called for, to open, unclog and keep the blood vessel clear and good. Dad’s insurance did not provide coverage for this and 20k plus of money was spent. Of course, it wasn’t so much about the money. It’s dad’s well-being that we were worried most.
And dad is now on long-term meds which even though it’s not about the money, still very much takes up an extra sum every month from now on.
Again, like I said, what matters most is dad and everyone’s peace of mind.
No no. It did not end there however. Two days after dad got discharged from the hospital, our house was burglarized. By a totally silly burglar nonetheless who took away RM50 and a speaker. Still damage was done and again money was spent on fixing up the doors. We finally resolved to install an alarm system as well. Again money. Hah!
Really. It’s not about the money. It’s just a sad sad series of unfortunate incidents.
After barely a week out of the hospital, grandpa was not feeling well again. This time much worse than the last and everyone was fearful of his life. He couldn’t walk, couldn’t eat and I know it hurt dad most that he couldn’t do much or physically be there for grandpa because of his “house-arrest” after his own “procedure”.
Obviously 500 words are not enough to sum up the month because after all that pour of negativity, I got a call of good news.
I won my dad a Christmas gift from MPH. RM100 worth of vouchers, a really awesome mug plus a set of won’t-be-used postcards. I think I’m actually getting a kick out of writing slogans for contest. ;-) I guess it pays to write for a living, in more ways than one.
And that hopefully marks the end of the family’s dark period.
As we enter the new year, I really do hope we have more good things to look forward to. In all honestly, health is really and truly one’s greatest asset. No amount of money can make up for the health of a loved one or that of your own. So a great reminder to everyone out there, take good care of yourself, be conscious of your diet, live healthy, live happy because it’s not just about living your life as an individual but as a unit, as a family and even as a friend. Because even if it doesn’t matter to you, it matters a lot to others. Because if it hurts you, it also hurts others. And as corny as it may sound, you are not alone in this world and YOU MATTER in every way.
It’s an hour away to 2011.
May the new year brings forth awareness of the importance of good health to everyone.
Here goes!

The Oh Bummer Post
It's been a month of silence.
A month of ups and downs.
Almost more downs than ups.
:(
The year is coming to an end though.
Let's hope that also signifies the end of all negativities.
May the new year bring new light.
:|
And hopefully a chance for me to blog again asap.
