My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 34 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

A few months ago, my mom was diagnosed with gallstones. She was advised by a regular doctor to have it removed by surgery-- could be the regular one or the micro-surgery. She hesitated on both. She went for another check-up but this time it was a doctor that practices alternative medicine.

Alternative medicine, according to Wikipedia, is any healing practice, "that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine." In some instances, it is based on historical or cultural traditions, rather than a scientific (i.e. evidence-based) basis. Talk about cleansing, herbs, and plants that sometimes we consider as grass or weeds around your garden gnomes.

Anyways, she was prescribed with a cleansing diet and some herbal medicines. A few weeks after, she testified that the stones were gone. She said she saw them when she moved her bowel. She said the pain was gone and she is all right. I told her to get another ultrasound to really confirm but she kept on delaying it. After that she got hooked to this "alternative medicine."
