From comic books to my weight

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

It was Free Comic Book Day last Saturday at Fully Booked!

I was thinking twice about going there but I cannot help myself. I got  free comic book, not the type that cost much but is fine since it’s free. There is a 20% discount for all graphic novels. I took the opportunity to buy three books. I am now finally able to complete the Sandman series with Preludes and Nocturnes, the first volume that I was able to purchase and read last. Also bought the Dead Boy Detectives and V for Vendetta (I was always planning to buy that but never did due to economic and availability reasons).

The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes Pictures, Images and Photos

I end up with little money now.

Neil Gaiman’s work for the first volume, I expected less. I was told that the art on it was unimpressive but you know what? I kinda appreciate it. It’s not that bad. And the story was still really good, it is amazing how the first volume really gave clues to the events to follow. It has Dream mistakenly captured (instead of Death) by some thantophobic old man. He was imprisoned and the Dream world collapses. He escapes and he rebuilds his world again.

New sound

Medyo kadiri man, ikwento ko na kung paano inirrigate ang tenga ko.

Part ng pre-employment namin ang medical exam. Nabanggit ko na yun minsan at nakita nila na may nakabara sa tenga ko. For some reason, I was not advised by my previous employer’s doctors that it’s  there. Kaya nang makita yun sa akin, sinabihan ako na pumunta sa espesyalista (kasi matagal na yun). Di ko man lang napansin kasi feeling ko my hearing is good.

So I had an ENT specialist look at it and had to drop some otic solution on it for a week. It’s really gross but at the same time fun. I really like the crackling sound of the fluid as it penetrates into the hardened wax. It’s some work, having the need to lie on your side or having your head reclined like you have a weird nervous disorder. And after a few days, I get more deaf. Yung gamot nagse-stay pa rin sa loob.
