migraine girl…

my head is aching (again)…it’s a good thing it’s sunday ‘coz it’s usually a quiet day (or should i say night?) here in the office…hopefully this migraine disappears soon because i don’t think i can offer any sort of support with this buzzing in my head…

i’m not really sure when this migraine of mine started…i became aware that something is wrong during my first year in high school…i keep getting this headaches and before that i always see bright lights in front of my eyes…the lights usually last for 15 to 30 minutes…i can see them even if i close my eyes…i actually thought it has something to do with my eyesight since i used to read a lot even if it’s already dark but the headaches continued even after getting a pair of glasses…

it was only when i saw an article in Times magazine about migraines that gave me a sense of relief because i was actually starting to think that i am sick (with tumor or something –knock on wood)…the article described the migraine attacks that i was experiencing “to a T”…unfortunately, it also states that there is no exact cause nor treatment for migraine…there are available medicines that can alleviate the pain but nothing that can really stop it from occurring…i saw a neuro just to confirm if i really do have a migraine and he pretty much said what the article in the magazine stated…he gave me some medicines to take which costs way too much…but i guess it’s a necessary evil

to all fellow migraine girls and boys, may someone develop a cure for our sickness

I know there has been too many talks about this already but I just want to express my two cents worth. Just want to make it clear that I am “kapamilya”. Anyway, I actually want to question the survey being released by AGB Nielsen. I once lived in a house that has their gadget for recording the channels being watched so I have a bit of an understanding on how it works. I ask all of you, is the survey a really reliable source of information on what channel or program is being watched the most? I Don’t Think So! Not because I’m a sore loser since I’m “kapamilya” but because the company is not transparent on how they go about picking the household where they put their gadgets. What if in 10 households that they installed the gadget 7 of them are already “kapuso” in the first place? Meaning, ever since the beginning of time they are already favoring the programs in channel 7. Don’t you think the result of the survey will be the same over and over again? And that the only time it will change is that if they watch some programs from channel 2? This is why I think they should be transparent on how they choose who to survey, if not to the public then to a third party who is unbiased. I know AGB Nielsen is already an established company and all but still…

Oh well, maybe I do am a sore loser but remember this is only my opinion in the matter.
