Here's another pic of the sky above the Sleeping Beauty mountain that I snapped from my Casamata Hill musings years ago... I just call it, an 'Alien Invasion... 😃 It seemed that the peaceful slumber of Sleeping Beauty has been disturbed. Sleeping beauty who is 'forever waiting' for the kiss of his prince charming to wake her up is in great danger. Some aliens from outer space just came over to rage war on this little kingdom in the North and want to reclaim the heart of the…

~ Back to my review materials ~ Now you know when a patient is positive for an H. Pylori. But for those who have correctly done the correct diagnosis but aren't yet aware of the clinical management guideline for H. Pylori infection... tsk tsk! A board question that's just so relevant for a moonlighting reminder at the E.R. when you're so alone, especially when you're not yet licensed! Excuse me for this 'slip of the tongue...' but there are some MDs out there who aren't yet…
Here was our dinner last night. The boss was home and wanted to eat a hearty meal... Haha! Yeah, hearty because red meats are full of lipids...😆 Well, they say a little bit of everything (?) is just as good as seldomly...🤔 Ok, but yay! a bit burned! And, In Pathology, this isn't good because of the HCA heterocyclic amines in charred meat that are carcinogenic... Anyway, just examined my grilled pork, and those weren't charred actually but the color of the black soy sauce…
I was intrigued by this so-called 'macro' and 'night photography' so I borrowed my son's phone a while ago and went out to our mini garden looking for some objects to do a photo shoot. I saw this 'Ginseng' plant in the dark because of the orange flowers that glint when struck by the shimmering colors of the 'Christmas lights' decor from the window of our neighbor. I'm not an expert in photography, I just love to take pics, neither do I know about 'macro shots', but I want to…
Today is a day for the most popular hashtag for Saturday. Happy #Caturday everyone!🐺 Haven't posted for a while for 'Saturday, so I might as well continue the journey which I started here about our beloved kitty 'Graya' who popularized the hashtag #ShowUsYourKitties in the other social universe. As I promised here it is... For those who hasn't read yet my stories about Graya, you can look at it from my previous posts...🤓 Ok, so one day, Graya was 'meowing and meowing', and…
Another sky magic that I just witnessed a couple of years ago and snapped by my Windows phone camera. My kids were going to school one day aboard their Dad's motorcycle. They were going to be late so riding in a motorbike would be faster to reach school. As soon as they left, however, a light shower just started to fall. I became worried because they're going to be soaked in the rain if it poured harder, so I started to mumble wishing the rain would stop. In a flash, I just…
The sky never fails to amuse me! If there is a 'blood moon' or a 'pink moon', there's also a... 'eye moon'! 👁 😆Joke..! Seriously... during the early wee hours of October last year, this wonderful view outside our bathroom window painted the black canvas of the eastern night sky. Like a giant 'glowing eye' peeping in the dark, the moon was glaring at me, beaming a magnificent bright golden glow in my face. I was stunned! I've never seen such a celestial beauty before. One…
Good day, guys! I just woke up a while ago to a very cold morning at 25 degrees Celsius... That's already cold for me being already used to the 30 plus degrees that we have here in Manila 🇵🇭. As usual, doing first my morning routines... drinking my 'Sagada Barako roasted coffee' ☕while checking on BCH and of course Noisecash. Since I slept late at night I was still a bit groggy, the caffeine perhaps hasn't still worked on my sluggish blood. I opened Noise and checked on the…
The temperature continues to be cold at 28 degrees Celsius even during noontime with the sun brightly beaming its warm rays. The cold weather is due to the 'Amihan' or Northeast monsoon which is a cool wind coming from the north pole mainly from the region of Siberia where the winter season now prevails. The north pole is like an open refrigerator sending a cold mist down to the lower latitude on the South East Asian countries like the Philippines🇵🇭. This season peaks during…
Who is also a fan of McDonald's out there or Mcdo as we fondly call it here in the Philippines...? When I was too busy to cook for the boys during weekends, Mcdo was the next thing on my mind. So, McDonald's has been our second kitchen during the weekends. One box of 8 pieces of chicken would cost 440 Philippine pesos or 8.8 US$. I just cooked rice, because 1 cup of Mcdo rice was expensive at around 22 pesos or 0.25 $. And as you know, Filipinos eat lots of rice, my 2 boys…
Here's another shot of the blood moon that I snapped last year hiding in the gallery of my cellphone. It just amazes me because it looks like a bloody sunset though it's high up in the night sky and smaller compared to the sun. This quote just came up to my mind as I'm comparing the sun and the moon. " Don't compare your life to others. There's no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it's their time. " Thanks to Cassey Ho for this beautiful quote. You…
Had been very busy this weekend juggling in between my review readings and household chores so had really no time for social media. Now, we're on to a new week... And thankfully have some time to get back to making noise again! How are you all doing lovely Noisy people? Hope your weekend had been great!😃 Couldn't take a good shot of the sunset in our place especially this colder month. So no post of them today... And likewise, there are no greenish shades of sunsets and…
Good evening Noise peeps! How are you? The holiday's fast approaching and it seems that everyone is on 'busy bee' mode cramming to meet the deadlines. We want to enjoy the Christmas break with our loved ones without thinking of any unfinished job so have to finish whatever task is due. Yours truly is no exemption and since it's so hard to see a clear sky here with those electric wires dangling everywhere around blocking the view, just wanna share this stunning dusky blue sky…
The concept of normality in 'Psychoanalytic Theories' has just caught my attention as I was browsing through one of my books in Psychiatry. It says there that 'normality' is the 'capacity for work and enjoyment...' or as Dr. Sigmund Freud, the founder of Psychoanalysis put it nicely in these German words, a normal person has the ability to "Arbeiten und Lieben"... which means in English, the ability to "work and love". I just remember our Psychology professor back then in…
Good evening fellow Noisemates! How are you all doing? Hope you are all fine especially with our noisemates from the Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines where the supertyphoon landed. As we read in the news, the Philippines has been hit by a super typhoon with the international name 'Rai', and which was called 'Odette' locally. It had the intensity of a signal number 5 storm and according to NASA or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, it was one of the…
Yesterday at early morning wee hours, after finishing my review readings, I went out to our little patio to inhale some fresh natural air and to do a few stretchings, when this view of the moon met my eyes... I didn't know there was a full moon! In about two hours the sun would already rise on the east. And it was just marvellous to see the moon on the northeast sky during dawn before dozing off to slumberland...😴 Being awake the entire night and sleeping early in the…
Just wanna share this pic of a boiled peanut that is typically seen in the streets, one little pack is usually purchased for 10 pesos or $0.20. There are also the fried ones or 'adobo' peanuts cooked in oil with garlic and salt. Furthermore 1 little pack additionally cost 10 pesos. I just remember an article that I came across in 2015 with regards to red wine and peanuts contributing beneficial effects for our neuro and mental health. It says there that Resveratrol, which is…
A few months ago, I planned to plant flowers but wasn't able to do it because I was so busy. Buying flowers in pots here are likewise expensive, so I postponed my plan. Since I don't have any other physical activity aside from doing some household chores and sitting down the entire day in front my study table...🤓 I plan to resume it. I just remember my parents who were fond of planting.🌱 My father and mother had a green thumb and our home ended up being diversely verdant and…
I guess this was the last decent Christmas party that I've attended during my internship in 2018. I was on duty at the Department of Ophthalmology and all interns from all departments were called to join in and have dinner. The resident doctors and nurses who were not on duty were in charge of the preparations and programs. Those who were on duty have attended through decking and after having their dinner and pictorials they needed to go back to their respective duty post…
Hello Noise peeps! How are you all doing this holiday? I just read yesterday about Noisecash having its first year anniversary on December 24th! So gotta catch up to greet... Hope I'm not yet too late...😉 HaPpY 1st BiRtHdAy Noisecash! 🎂 Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to earn with our content while learning on cryptocurrencies especially about #BCH during the lockdown in our homes in this time of the pandemic. In my 3 months' stay on this platform, I've…
This day was unusually cold compared to the previous days, which were quite warm. The entire day was overcast, as if a storm was approaching. Outside the window, scattered stratonimbus clouds could be seen in the northern sky. The sun tried to break through the thick clouds just before sunset, emitting a yellowish glow of light! Even though the rest of the sky is dark and dreary, it is still a lovely day to behold such brilliant colors in the western sky. Just ignore the…
After studying Biochemistry... You're already terrified of eating anything!😆 So, if you want to live a colorful and healthy lifestyle, go eat a rainbow unicorn! 'este' er go for the orange, greens, and whites... 🍊🍐🍄 Many of them can be found in the vegetable section of your local market or grocery store, or even better, in your own backyard or farm! Avoid or limit your intake of fiery reds because they will clog your heart and arteries with deceptive lipids... Red meats,…
Just as Omicron's first case was discovered on Dec 15, Supertyphoon Odette entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Dec 16! What an unfortunate coincidence! Omicron and Odette entered the Philippines almost at the same time wreaking havoc! However, Odette stole the focus of many and diverted their attention from the Omicron. People were simply eager to get out because many people had already been vaccinated and cases had decreased. Everyone was ecstatic to celebrate…
Here are pictures of roses that I photographed three days ago while visiting a local market. I was surprised to see a plant vendor in a small corner with lots of flowering plants. A potted rose plant with many buds costs 250 Philippine pesos, or USD 5. It's quite pricey, but I believe it's worth it. As you can see, the flowers are multicoated and come in a variety of colors. These are miniature rose bushes that are hybrid tea roses. They are multicolored because they are…
