Poison
Beauty almost died of poisoning yesterday. Beauty is our dog, a big, loud, and black Labrador with an equally big appetite. My Tita sprayed her with some chemical to get rid of her ticks and fleas. It was clearly a case of skin absorption poisoning. The pesticide apparently worked too well, it killed a lot of the ticks and fleas but almost killed the dog as well. It looked real bad that my brother had to rush her to the vet. Luckily she was back to her normal self when she got back home from the vet.
First Aid
We finally concluded the first aid training that we have been conducting for the last couple of weeks by having the First Aid Exams last Saturday. It has been several weeks of trying to teach kids how to do CPR, bleeding control, emergency rescue and transfer, and all the other skills. I call them kids because they were all born after Martial law. It is really fascinating how differently I see things today compared to how these kids act and how they think. I try my best to get them interested in the topics I am discussing and to keep their attention when the topic becomes boring. I just hope my efforts paid off. There are those who seem oblivious. It seems like they are there only because it is required in order to become a member of the org, and they just want to get it over with. I think they see first aid as something they have to put up with in order to become a member of UP Red Cross Youth which they probably think is a plus point on their relentless drive towards med school, specifically UP PGH. However there are those who I think see the importance of what we are doing. Anyways, it’s done. We need only wait for the results…
On a lighter note…

Latest addiction… Nescafe Ice from Ministop… It seems like I’ve been slurping it down almost daily. It’s a cheaper alternative to Starbuck’s Coffee jelly and it tastes somewhat like Zagu’s mocha pearl shake without the pearls. It’s so good that I got a couple of my officemates hooked as well. Jinggoy had 5 in one day and they even went to the extent of scouring 3 different Ministop outlets when it wasn’t available in Ministop branch near our office.
hey ron wat up? my tooth is aching... booo.. what's the first aid for this? ='(
