As I walked on to the cold wet floor covered in mosaic tiles, I reached blindly in the dark for the light switch. As I did, however, a black silhouette slithered across the room. I froze wondering if I was about to meet a creature from another dimension – but then I remembered I had forgotten to feed Knuckles, my cat. That is about as exciting as my life has been since I decided I no longer wanted to work at my last job.

Getting a steady paycheck certainly had its perks though. On top of that, I was surrounded by great looking co-workers. Sometimes I wonder whether or not I made the right decision and whether or not I’ll be able to stay in touch with the friends I made. Other times, however, I wake up from a good night’s sleep knowing I’ve got the rest of the day to figure out what kind of a day I’d wake up to tomorrow.

I once came across a book entitled the Underachiever’s Manifesto. It was a book that parodied the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. In it, the author talks about how to be satisfied with not really trying so hard or giving it “a hundred and ten percent”.

Although I highly doubt the book was meant to be taken seriously by anyone, I found that in some ways a lot of it made sense. Some people can work their whole lives for that certificate, or that medal, or those baseball trophies. And then, one day, it all comes crashing down by something as trivial as a dog crossing the road that causes one car to swerve into yours, crippling you for life. There are people that study so hard for exams only for the person next to them to score higher because all he had to do was bring a cheat sheet. Sometimes, you can’t help but ask yourself, is what I’m trying to achieve really worth all this effort?

It seems that my body stopped growing taller and has now started to widen. I have an active lifestyle, I eat only healthy food and I keep away from stressful situations as much as possible. However no matter what I do, my waist keeps on getting bigger, faster. I am now using company time to do something personal, and that is to search the net to try to find the safest diet pills available. As I was googling, I stumbled upon this site called  http://www.safedietpills.org. It is a diet pill review site which seem to advertise plenty of diet pill products. I am very interested to try those out. The only thing keeping me is my fear of side effects. However I just though that I will just consult my doctor before taking those pills. If he approves it, I’ll be ordering supplies right away.

When you see the prefix –oma in a medical term, this indicate that it is a form of disorder commonly known as cancer. Malignant Mesothelioma, having the prefix at the end, is a cancer, and it is usually rare. It affects the mesothelioma, or the thin membrane that in body cavities. Body cavities such as pleura, or the mesothelioma in the lung is heavily affected by this cancer. Other body cavities such as the peritoneum (found in the abdomen) and pericardium (found in the heart) can be also affected.

The main cause of malignant mesothelioma is too much exposure o asbestos. Asbestos is a chemical use in manufacture of many products such as fireproof coats for firemen, vinyl flooring, insulations, and drywalls. Most people who work with asbestos as the main ingredient of manufacturing such products are basically affected by this cancer.

Symptoms such as pleural effusion or accumulation of fluid in the pleural membrane, plus breathing problems, anemia, drastic weight loss, and ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdomen) commonly indicate malignant mesothelioma.

Treatment includes common cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

When people hear the word eczema, they think that this skin disorder is highly contagious and similar with a fungal infection. But, contrary to common assumptions, it is a noncontagious disease. In fact, it is caused by allergy, either from hypersensitivity to external factors, or eating of allergy-inducing foods.

Eczema is a chronic skin problem, which means it stays much longer than any skin disorder. In medical terms, it is described as a dermatitis, which means inflammation of the skin. eczema
is characterized by having small red spots called macules. Others develop small hard skin bumps called papules. Pustules, or small red bumps with pus inside (similar to acne), also appear in most cases. Some cases have blisters filled with fluid. All of these are characteristics of eczema cause severe itching.

Either topical applications (medicated ointment applied on skin) or oral medications prepared with steroidal substances such as corticosteroid are used to alleviate symptoms of eczema, although most of steroid-based medications induced side effects on prolonged use.
Antibiotics are prescribed if infection occurs, and anti-histamines to treat itching. Other products with anti-allergy/hypoallergenic substances are present in soaps, lotions, and oils.

As a child, I have been fascinated and curious to see things in the distance suddenly magnified when I view them through binoculars. Suddenly the mass of green that is the mountain becomes trees and rocks. Back then, our family has big, bulky binoculars but we children all rush to get our turn looking through them. Today, there must be already smaller, more modern-looking and cutting-edge binoculars, though I feel sentimental with our family binoculars.

Now, I realize, seeing things from a binocular perspective gave me the experience of seeing the big picture from the smallest detail. My binocular experience has contributed to my seeing things from a more holistic perspective. Yes, it is both the forest and trees perspective.

Yet, given the chance, I would like to see the world again through our old family binoculars. It is no longer working, but my dad still keeps it, I believe, somewhere in our storage area. Maybe someday I’ll be able to look through an old model again.
