buy a car
Untitled 3 months ago

I’m so close to getting my car!! I’ve been saving for months and I finally have enough money! I might be test driving some cars in the upcoming months. I have to do this before September because there’s no way my current car [piece of junk] will pass the inspection.

be an inspiration to others (read all 2 entries…)
Youtube isn't all evil 3 months ago

Being an inspiration to others is a huge responsibility! I think I’ve found a way to use the internet wisely.

I have an illness called “ulcerative colitis” and for years I’ve been looking for a cure… or at least some answers. There’s no cure for what I have, but there is a way to deal with it through diet and medication.

I am pretty much alone in my struggle until one random night I was looking up my illness on youtube. I have no idea why. Maybe I was looking for new information or news or anything. To my surprise I found a number of video blogger talking about their disease and their struggles and triumphs. I was quickly fascinated by using media to bring awareness to this illness. Why didn’t I think of it?! I mean, media is used to bring awareness to other conditions like cancer, aids, diabetes… why not colitis? So I jumped on the bandwagon and started making my own videos/documentary about colitis. So far the feedback was pleasant. I was half-expecting derogatory comments because… well, its youtube. And when you put yourself out there on Youtube, its almost asking for it. I haven’t received any bad feedback. I’m so relieved!!

stay in remission with my colitis (read all 10 entries…)
Starting to get the hang of it 3 months ago

I’m taking blogging about colitis to the next level! I started making videos on Youtube to document my remission and anything else that I encounter. So far I haven’t really gotten any negative feedback about it – which I’m so relieved!! I was considering on taking the videos down, but so far everyone’s been really encouraging.

I do have to mention that I stirred up a little controversy about the diet that I’m on. But oh well, like I said, everyone’s different. The SCD diet happens to work for me so far.

Here’s the link in case anyone is interested:
