Edifier MR4 Speakers

My Labtec speakers got busted. I think it was a lost contact in the soldering work. I have used these 2.1 budget speakers since 2007 so it has been a while. I am replacing it with the Edifier MR4 speakers. 42 watts total sound output. 1 inch tweeter and a 4 inch woofer. It's small just appropriate for the computer room.

Kitchen Appliance Buys In January 2025

Mother and I replaced our aging refrigerator bought ten years ago when we transferred to the back portion of our house and started renting out the front portion of the family house. I chose another LG 7.3 cu ft. refrigerator. I thought the year is going to end without anything new to report but... I replaced our microwave two days before 2024 ended. Here's the LG MH6565DIS 25L SMART INVERTER MICROWAVE OVEN.  I also got an email from RCBC about an unauthorized transaction in my credit card.  The bank issuer finally decided to replace the questionable card with a new one to be delivered 5 days from now. The old card which I am holding is now blocked. I received the statement of account with two items. One is the bank charging me for the annual membership fee. Mmm...

December Thoughts

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.

Part 2 Doctor's Visit 2024

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.

New Doctor, New Medications

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.

One pill and I slept for more than 9 hour...
