Finally Graduated

So hungry I could eat a Horse

WHich somehow reminds me of that joke about the chicken.. I never understand the joke about the chicken can't cross the road coz it always got rolled over by cars.. Why is that? Seriously.. I don't understand.. Can someone explain that to me???

I'm hungry it's 3.40pm. My boyfriend is still at his house.. I don't know what he's doing.. I have been starvins since 11am. Ate. Played. Waited. And hungry again

Bodyboarding at Manhattan Beach

Will you just look at that beautiful beach.. (picture from manhattanbeach.com) anyway.. last weekend I went to Manhattan Beach w Kevin, SHier, Gerry. And we tried body boarding.. ( look at the first picture). It's great.. but i think surfing is better. body boarding is half the size of the surf board's length and you're just supposed to hang on top of the board while you get washed to the shore by the wave. I can't seem to stay on the board and kept on slipping off the board. Oh well at least I tried. It's just amazing how I have experienced all these stuff. Stuff that I will not do if I'm in Indonesia.

Thankful

As you guys may know, Paris is not cheap. However, despite this fact, he had some problems. Last time he only had one testicle showing up, thus creating problem between my breeder and me as well as extra money in neutring him. I also have not told you guys this but around Mid june, Paris is diagnosed with luxating patella (loose knee cap). He had been limping for a month but in early May, I brought him to my old vet and he said that it's only a sprained leg. I didn't think much of it and just let Paris rest with no medication. I always thought that it was my fault Paris' leg has not healed in a month. I thought I did not limit his playing area enough and thus he could not heal. However, after a month or so of no recovery, I got concerned and took him to another vet. Yup the vet only hold Paris' leg and he told me : luxating patella. Need surgery that cost me $2000!! I'm in a state of shock.

I have no pet insurance, no money, how am I going to take care of this. I thought of working during the summer first and then sign Paris for surgery later. I went to another vet at VCA, it's at Sepulveda X Santa Monica, and met Dr Cassimatis. She's such an angel. I told her from the start, another vet told me that Paris has luxating patella. I don't have any money to pay for the surgerry and I want to make sure if this is really luxating patella, and not sprained leg. She brought Paris to another room to check his leg and she told me.. yes it's a third degree luxating patella.

But she also told me, I know you said you couldn't afford to have a surgery for Paris, so I have a proposal.

She told me that a resident doctor (intern doctor) is doing her work at the same hospital and the resident doctor can do this surgery for $500 because she is still in training. She asked me if I want to do this.. It was Sunday when she told me this and by Wednesday, I had Dr. Cabrera (the intern doctor) doing a surgery on Paris to fix his leg.

Now, Paris is still limping and the vet said that Paris is still getting used to walking with pins inside his legs. If this still occur within 3 weeks, Paris has to come in for another surgery to take out this pins. I really hope he doesn't have to do this.

When I think back of this matter, I am so very grateful that someone/God has helped me. What are the chances that I can meet a vet who can refer me to another vet to do a surgery on Paris for only a quarter of the normal price.

If I had not gone to this new vet at VCA to double check that Paris has luxating patella, I may have to wait two or three more months to have surgery done on Paris.

If I had not met Dr. Cassimatis at VCA, I may not be referred to Dr. Cabrera.

Thank you.

Just before the surgery, I was scared about the whole matter. Am I making the right decision by letting a resident doctor do a surgery on my love? Will everything be alright after this? Is this fortune just a mask for another bad luck? (Can't help it, I am extremely cynical)

Let's just hope it's not.

finals, graduation, Alaska

Soo.. here it is .. I'm at canada now.. Basically in mid June I was having my finals, I was exhausted with graduation planning (which I really don't do much, only Erly and Fanny deserved the credits), and my family came to LA and then I had to fly to Canada to cruise to Alaska..

My mom was exasperated by my 'no sense of fashion' so in the last two days that she was in LA, she dragged me to beverly center and shop stuff for me.. Clothes, skirts, jackets, make ups..

even as she is back in Indonesia now, she had sent me 3 long messages (of 4-5 message each) telling me that I should shop for new clothes, t-shirts, formal clothes, shoes and I should not hesitate to charge it on her credit card. Not to mention, she tells me to take care of my face and body and should I want to go to a dermatologist in LA, I should charge it again on her credit card. I don't know should I be happy or what.
It does lift up the burden of not being able to shop since October 7 2004 though. That's the day I got Paris, and the beginning of the days I do not shop. FEel guilty about how much I have spent on getting Paris.
