Official Diagnosis

1 min read

I have been feeling off more than usual for the past several months. I finally got an MRI done and spoke with my neurologist. The diagnosis is that I have mild Multiple Sclerosis.

I had the symptoms since I was 13 years, but only had the chance to complete the tests not too long ago. It's upsetting, but at least I know that I actually have it, you know? Well, that's it for now.

Still drawing, so don't worry.

). I downloaded the Wurrly app for my iPhone and it's so much fun. Singing and drawing keeps me sane.

You can listen to this song (I love Disney songs and musicals)--Beauty and the Beast. My voice is a bit lower than usual because it's not back to 'normal,' but I also tend to mimic voices of the original singers, so I think it fits okay for the song.

Just An Update

1 min read

I was hired as a temp worker at an insurance company back in June of 2014. I never really wanted to talk about it just because I didn't really know what to expect after the assignment was over. Four months later, I'm still temping at different departments at the company. However, I will be moving into a different department for a temporary position yet once again and where maybe (just maybe) I'll be made full-time.

It's why I haven't been so active on the forums or posting as much because a lot of learning and time went into the new job. Plus, I'm working on a painting and book.

Well, that's it for now.

Toodles,
Helen

Geek Since Childhood?

3 min read

I visited the dental office where my sister works and I saw this guy working there--a computer tech person. His name was Tom and he looked familiar. Then I asked my sister what his last name was and she told me. It immediately occurred to me then that he was a friend of mine from fifth grade.

I asked him if he remembered me in the school that we both went to in the year 1995-1996. I also mentioned our teacher's name.
He looked at me if I were crazy. I was kind of sad (well, "sad" is a strong word, but you get my point) that him and I were great friends and he had no clue who I was. I always told him that he has a sister--I think that totally creeped him out.

During fifth grade, I remember talking about Mortal Kombat (the movie) and then about the video game that I never played, but heard of so much both from Tom and the other guy friends. (I didn't tell him that I still know how to draw one of the characters we drew during free time in class). We loved computers, too.

Anyway, looking at myself now and knowing what my childhood friend does now along with our other friends--we're all in the computer field. Were we geeks since childhood?

To Smile Or Not to Smile

3 min read

You see, we live in a world full of different people of different cultures. I understand that smiling is a universal language.

For the most part.

In our culture, however, (and I'm pretty sure other cultures are very similar to this way of thinking) is different. We don't smile if there's no reason to. I remember during my elementary school years all the way through college, people will be like, "Smile, Helen."

But why? I asked myself. There's no reason to. I'll only smile when I want to. I don't want it to be forced on me, you know?

For example, if I'm walking on the streets or in the store and don't know that person or people and smile to them, they'll think something's wrong with me.

I mean, after living in the U.S. for 24 years, I learned to smile even to random people, but please, if I really don't want to smile, don't make me.

Nov 14, 2015

I know I wasn't as active on the forum and I apologize for that. Besides work and illustrations, I had a cold for almost three weeks now. I still have a cough and my voice isn't back to normal, but nonetheless, I'm getting better. Also, I love singing just for fun. I sing in the morning, afternoon, night, and just about any day and time (work included :D). I downloaded the Wurrly app for my iPhone and it's so much fun. Singing and drawing keeps me sane. :D You can listen to this song (I love Disney songs and musicals)--Beauty and the Beast.
