Chain Reaction

 

Days ago when all of a sudden I felt sudden discomfort, chest pain and dizziness. Something is wrong I told myself. I tried to stay in my room, had to stop what I'm doing and rest for a while on my bed until that dizzy spell go away. I kept on thinking what I have eaten. Or it could be the air. There is not much oxygen in this house. I opened the windows, the fan was on and it could be my brassiere is too tight and its suffocates me. I can't breathe. I watched the weather channel. The weather forecast was 20 degrees Celsius on that day. That hot!!!!!! Shocking! Aloha Hawaii. Baguio city has better climate then and so as Hong Kong.

My husband checked my blood pressure, maybe I was suffering from high blood. After few seconds, the result is nothing sort of a normal bp reading. It was ok. Nothing to worry about. Yeah , maybe I have that indigestion and it's causing me chest pain. Kabag?  Uhm, maybe, maybe not!

I'm over 50 years old so anything goes like arthritis can be felt once in a while. Guess what? Arthritis is a common ailment for hardworking overworked people. Yes, let me stressed that word OVERWORKED individuals just like me. My husband has that same problem because he is a hard worker and OVERWORKED person.

Anyway, who we have to blame? Then on Friday, there was that quake off the coast of Haida Gwaii, followed by quake in Nepal after the recent volcanic eruption in Chile.  To better understand such kind of quake movements from the past is to do that research from the archives of National Geographic magazines because they covered almost everything geographically since 1860's I think. Imagine they covered news about earth's geography since the birth of Dr. Jose P. Rizal.

Later on watched the old movie of Omar Shariff  DR. ZHIVAGO , aka Dr. Yuri Zhivago. Such a beautiful and epic story of love, romance and revolutionary ideas during the Russian civil war. Something wrong with Yuri falling in love with Lara when he is married to the pregnant wife Tanya? The doctor was a cheater! He was not alone in that period of time it was common for wealthy men to have many wives provided they can "provide." Crazy eh? Politicians have millions of mouths to feed. Darn! It was common for men even at the time of Jesus Christ to have so many wives.  That's the bad side of the story. A movie that tells you that no amount of wealth and education can free you from the obnoxious threat of communism. The good news in Communism is you can't have it all... there is that so called scarcity of resources!

Ask Karl Marx.

All you need to lose is your CHAIN.
