This last month of 2024 is hard and brutal. I see its shape from far away but I don't have to like it. Philippine lawmakers decided to pass next year's national budget full of controversies and everyone questioning the sanity of the Philippine House of Representatives and also the Senators. They cut the money for education, healthcare and major infrastructure projects. They increased funding for social welfare projects that are controlled by individual congressmen and senators. You can smell the fear. It's an election year. They have to survive. They did not fund healthcare and left members to themselves. Trump is going to be inaugurated January 2025 President of the United States. I know a lot of people suffered depression after the election last November. A man murdered the CEO of a big healthcare company. There was sympathy not for the victim of the crime but towards the perpetrator.

The last time I was with my doctor, she ordered some procedures done. Lipid panel, SGPT, fasting glucose, urine and x-ray. I decided to call up my health insurance and schedule my Annual Physical Exam. APE. 2023's aortic calcification "comment" by the radiologist is gone. My Triglyceride is high, HDL is low. Fasting blood glucose is north of 6 mmol/l. I am obese II. Not good. My SGPT is 80 (normal is 49). This results tell me my metabolic syndrome is back. Insulin resistant, fatty liver, increase adiposity around the waist and so on. What works, what's best? Low carb diet. Intermittent fasting. Choline from eggs. Milk thistle and flax seeds to restore glutathione. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. I'm going to try NAC and garlic too.

I went to San Mateo medical Center at Ampid last October 14th. I met Dr. Julie Ann Figuracion, an Internal Medicine Specialist. I have a chronic cough which she thinks to be allergic rhinitis and bronchitis. I also showed her last year's lipid tests and x-rays. She ordered new updated tests for later. These are my new medications per the doctors prescription. List of Newly prescribed drugs from Dr. Julie Ann Figuracion. 1) Zykast (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) 10 mg/5 mg For my allergic rhinitis. 2) Nebilet 5 mg tablets For my hypertension. In addition to losartan potassium and amlodipine. 3) Amlodipine Losartan Potassium 5 mg/ 50 mg For my hypertension. 4) Acetylcysteine powder 600 mg For my cough and phlegm. To be prepared in a glass of water. 5) Cefixime 200 mg For anti bacteria infections, antibiotic. Not to be used for colds and flu. I feel great with Zykast, the anti allergy medication. One pill and I slept for more than 9 hour...

It has been reported and I want to get this out so people won't be a victim.  The link is  https://homecash.space/.  

I began my Ubuntu use with Edgy Eft oh that's 6.10 which I quickly upgraded to 7.04 Feisty Fawn. I am using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat.

I've been coughing the whole week. I bought Tuseran forte and Amoxicillin for the straight 7 days. It's Pneumonia. It was a toss coin on whether I should go to the doctor or just treat this on my own. I still have the sore throat and the sniffles. But generally I'm fine. Hay I'm composing my piece on a proper app. Since updating my desktop to Ubuntu 24.04 I can't get Evolution Mail to connect and authenticate with Gmail account. It is now more than a month and I guess some of the software patches that were applied did it. I started Evolution Mail and it automatically asked for my email and password, then permit Gnome to manage my messages and contacts. After that it downloaded all my emails. So this is the first one to be sent out. Hope my luck hold out.
