The Doctor's Life

I’ve finished reading my new book yesterday. The title is: Doctors written by Erich Segal. Wow, this is really good book. It tells story about doctors and all their problems. You see, we mostly consider doctors as a manifestation of God. We will follow their leads and listen to all their orders. We put our “lives” in their hands with a hope that they will cure us. We expect them to be perfect and provide the best decisions at all the time.

But this book has shown me the other side of doctors’ lives. The writer showed me how a medical student must work as hard as a horse in order to survive from the Harvard Medical School. How they lost their opportunities to get together with their families for a special occasion just because they need to work at the laboratory during holidays. And how frustrated they are when they have to remember hundreds name of glands, muscles, proteins, etc. and spend the night sleepless with cups and cups of coffee. Very unhealthy!

After that, the story will continue to how they work as interns in hospitals. The writer described the new doctor’s fear when they meet their first patient and how the must conquer their fears and work hard to remember every lessons they got before. That they’re dealing with a human life every time and must make a right decisions every time. It’s a very hard job. That’s the part when I realized that they’re all humans just like us all. The only different is that they’re endowed with the ability to cure other human’s diseases. And sometimes they also feel helpless when they’re facing uncured diseases.

The book also tells the reader about the “dark side” stories of the doctors’ live. How psychiatrists also killed themselves when they can’t face their job’s responsibilities. They can help other people but not be able to help themselves and facing their own problems. Also about the contradiction of euthanasia. And the most interesting thing I found is how female doctors are relatively rare. Do you realized that?

So, whether you’re a doctor or not, you might want to read this book and find out the human side of these doctors lives.

Finding Replacement Windows

If you’re having trouble with your existing windows, what would you do? You can either use replacement windows or use a new construction one. Of course, each of them has its own benefits and deficits.

The common issue of replacement windows is that it may decrease the energy loss and noise from outer house. So, make sure you use energy efficient windows such as from the Penguin Windows. You will get maximum benefits from replacement windows if they properly installed and airtight.

The right replacement windows will help you save energy and cost; better thermal regulation and less condensation. It will help you reduce heat loss during cooling season and reduce heat gain during heating season. Of course it all depends on the climate of your hometown.

But the most important thing of all is that your replacement windows must provide the best security and comfort for your home. A company such as Penguin Windows offered various kinds of products along with the installment service with certified installers. You will also find out more about their safety features, such as: Standard Double Locks, Composite Frames, and Triple Paned Glass.

And you can order custom made windows from sizing to coloring. They also offer you four exterior colors and six interior colors that are easy to mix and match. So that your replacement windows will look beautiful from outside or inside the house. But the best offer of all is that they will give you a lifetime warranty for every window you bought.

Suicide Story

Last Sunday, I was in a huge mall in my town along with my family, we got shocked when we saw some police officers walking around. It’s so unusual to see them walking around in the crowd in a mall. First, we thought that they might be seeking for terrorists there and we decided to leave right away.

Until we saw “something” laid down on a pick up truck. And we realized that it’s a human body. And, the policemen brought that body back into the mall to make a reconstruction. And for that, they need to put that body back to where it was before.

Oh my God. I saw that body directly from the third floor. It was a young woman with a long black hair. She looked terrible with her mouth opened. Half of her face was broken and there were lots and lots of blood underneath her broken head. She was so young.

Some speculations were quickly spread. Some said that she was pushed down by somebody and that she was falling down by an accident. But some other said that it was a suicide. She jumped from the fourth floor.

Later on I found out from the television news, that it was a suicide. The surveillance video proved it. That young woman killed herself that day on that mall. What was she thinking?

Life is hard to everybody. Still suicide is not a way out. And I wonder why she chooses to kill herself in a huge mall anyway? She could have just use a knife to cut her arm and died quietly in her room, right? But she decided to do it in a public place where every body can watch her died. It’s pathetic, I think.

I feel sorry for her because she has refused the grace that Lord’s given to her. You can’t make your “problems” as your justification to commit suicide. Everybody has problems. But problems are there to be solved not to run away of. May God forgive her.

Look Different with Wigs

I asked myself a question every time I saw a woman with a perfect hair cut and color passing by. What has she done? Her hair looks incredibly beautiful. But somehow I feel that most of them must have used wigs for that perfect appearance. So that you may still have a healthy look colored hair.

Wig has become a fashion items among the fashion community right now. With this, you can have various kinds of hairstyle without have to sacrifice your precious hair for it. You can have a wavy blonde hair today and in the next day you can turn into a brunette with long sleek hair. Isn’t that amazing?

As a matter of fact, it’s not easy to find a quality wig now, especially human hair wigs. This kind of wig will give you a genuine look better than the synthetic one since it’s made from real human’s hair. Sometimes, the synthetic wig will look too shiny compared to the human hair wig. Maybe, that’s the reason why you’ll find this wig is more expensive than the synthetic. But it’s worth it.

Also if you have some kind of illness that makes you lose your hair as the side effect of your medication, you’ll find wig as a way out of your problem and bring your self esteem back, such as the cancer patients who’s in the chemotherapy program. I have a friend with this problem and she has various kinds of wigs in her drawer.

But, just like everything else in this world, you must take care of your wigs regularly. If you can’t wash it yourself, you can ask for help from a beauty parlour. Beauty parlours usually provide a perfect solution for your wig’s regular care. So, why don’t you try one?

My Driving Lesson

I’ve told you before that I can not drive* a car, right? It sounds silly but it’s true. Meanwhile, my house is in the middle of nowhere. It’s far from the bus station or the main road. So, I must wait for my husband to go out, unless I choose to call a cab to pick me up (sigh). Well, I hate cabs..

Three days ago I made up my mind that I must learn to drive. Actually, my husband taught me to drive using our car a few months ago. That’s when I realized that even if you are a perfect driver, it doesn’t mean that you can be a perfect driving instructor either. He lost his patience. And during the lesson he keeps yelling at me every time.

“Watch out!” or “Can’t you see that hole in front of you? Stay out of it!” or “Use your feeling!” and stuff like that. It’s so annoying when people keep yelling at you while you still struggling with something that barely new to you. And guess what, I quitted. I refused to learn and prefer to sit down in front of my laptop. I don’t care.

He offered me to learn in a driving course, where I will be taught by experienced instructors. And I agree. My lesson started from last Monday and I still have 7 days to go. With this experienced instructor, I’m a quick learner and able to drive the car in the main road on my second day. Isn’t that amazing? I need to remind you that the traffic here is not as well-regulated as it maybe in your country (lol). Here, traffic light is almost like the accessory only and people keep passing by even when the light turns red. Not to mention the unregulated crowded and traffic jam. I can tell you that the streets here are nightmares.

So, along with the driving lessons, I also must learn how to conquer the street itself and still can do it in style. Hohoho. I’m doing well so far and I still have 1 week ahead. Wish me luck.. Hahaha…

New Books! New Books!

I got two new books from my husband this month. Woohooo… Once again I don’t have to use my own money for books (like I usually do), he bought me these books last night. I was so surprised. I wonder if you’ve ever read them before. If you do, could you give me some short opinions about them?

I’m currently reading the Bad Man by John Connolly right now. I will continue with the Doctors by Erich Segal right after I finished with it. So tell me…
