case study

i was able to watch one episode of mr. bean. ung totoong tao a, not the cartoon. to tell you the truth, nakakainis sya panoorin.

and theeeen.. i saw my abnormal psy book.

mr. bean is perfectly "psychologically-challenged".

Diagnosis: Schizophrenia
Symptoms:
1. asociality - his only friend is teddy, who's a stuffed bear. his girlfriend, if you can even call her that, probably feels invisible.
2. alogia (poverty of speech) - how many words does he say in 1 show? bilang pa ata sa isang kamay.
3. flat affect - just wait for it.
4. disorganized behaviour – i don’t even have to explain this.

if i could do a case study on a fictional character, mr. bean would be it.

Sorry but my net's busted. Nasa internet shop ako ngayon. I PROMISE TO UPLOAD PICTURES AS SOON AS I CAN. :D

To my sister Cor, namimiss na daw tayo ni nanay at tatay. hahahaha! :P

came from the hospital

less than a month ago, my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. from his lungs, the cancer spread to his bones.

a few days ago, i heard my dad talking to his friend when he suddenly stuttered and his words were reduced to a single syllable. only 3 people witnessed this. me, my mom,and my dad's friend.

my mom talked to me about it and asked me whether i had any idea of what could have caused it. i told her to get a doctor to check my dad's brain.

last thursday, my dad was hospitalized 3 days earlier than what was scheduled. he was supposed to be admitted today for chemo. they found 2 cancer tumors in his brain.

i'm still pretty much nr about the whole thing. i did wish the doctor's won't find anything. but they did. and i'm still here, still nr, still not sad about it. i don't want to say i'm apathetic because it sounds so bad. but i'm starting to think that maybe i am.
