:: faces of the singapore idol-wannabes ::

i'm not a fan of the programme but i came across an article in the 8 days about these 12 finalists and a brief interview with all of them... now, here's just my opinion of their looks. can't say much of their vocal prowess since i hardly tune in to this show.

now for the singapore idol hua1: olinda cho aka energizer bunny gave me the deepest impression during all their debuts. i like her energy, her cheerfulness and also her humor... if she doesn't make a name for herself in the records industry, i'm sure she'd do well in comedy. jessea thyidor... the babe?! unfortunately, i think they chose an inappropriate dress for her... makes her look vampy. by the way, i think she looks better than our miss universe singapore... hehe... maia lee... i like her name... and her looks are pretty interesting... not those pretty-sweet yet oh-so-forgettable kind of face, and i really agree with the 8 days that she bears some resemblance to a*mei. (by the way, why does a*mei have that * between that 'a' and 'mei'?) leandra rasiah - the soul sister... i dunno y they gave her that nick, but i like her looks... heehee... unique. beverly morata - the drama queen... oh manz... for a weirdo she sure is quite honest... pity her boyfriend... he must love her a lot to put up with her super green eyes and all those restrictions to his social life with the opposite gender. never gone downstairs even in broad daylight to get stationery? omg... creepy. psychotic. and i wonder, if she was that 'sheltered' how come she has the guts to go join sg idol now? daphne foo and candice khoo.. hehe they kinda rhyme dun they? if not for that i probably would have forgotten about them. acks.

now for the singapore idol cao3: david yeo - the ex-beng... oh my god... i dunno what to say... he might be a great singer, but i think i have a teeny bit of problem distinguishing his gender. his features are really quite feminine. jerry ong - the outsider... in a different sense, i think yap, yeah. could be... his looks make him appear like a host rather than a pop idol. i hope he sings well... sylvester sim aka the sly beng... ok... he looks quite beng. it's the hairstyle and the face of his shape... his mouth reminds me to DANTONG! they have the same kind of smile? kind of lop-sided? in a really cute way! and i believe dt's hair was a bit like his, just that it was dark red. :D christopher michael lee aka chrissy the pooh. y huh? he's as cuddly as a pooh bear? reminds me of mr yap... maybe when he was young he looked like this. he he he...

ok and for the grand finale... muhammad taufik batista aka the brudder! he's so shuai! wa!!!!! haha... drools... lolz... nah not my type of guy. too shuai for me already. hehehe... ren yao zi you liang li! anyway, he looks good with leandra and wat's that 'our age gap is too wide... we're just friends'... 5 years isn't a lot, unless either one's lying about the real age.

ok. maybe i'll finally remember to turn on the tv one of these days... hopefully in time to catch the last few episodes of sg idol. i got to see with my own eyes whether they look as good (or bad) as they've been portrayed in the magazine. i wonder... are these photos photoshopped like those in xiaxue's blog?

:: fashion sense... or the lack of ::

dropped by sanzhu's blog today and she talked a bit about fashion sense, or the lack thereof, in some girls in the arts fac (i presume it's arts, though i'm not sure, correct me if i'm wrong)... anyway, about fashion... yup i think all around people do comment about each other's fashion sense though i would refrain from doing so about my good friends. after mixing more with guys ever since clinicals started, i've come to realise that they too, gossip just as much, if not more than us gals... yah and surprisingly, though we always say that guys are such insensitive clouts (no offence to those in my cg, dun worry, u guys aren't 'clouty' maybe just one is a bit hs la... haha) and perhaps they pay more attention to how the others dress (both girls AND guys)... yup in fact, i've got a fellow cg mate who's pointed out to me a guy who i dunno but recognise as a fac mate, who wears really obiang shoes! lolz... yea... normally i dun pay attention to guys' shoes, all black n urgh. ha... i prefer looking at their ties... haha v creative, got flowers, got dragons... and whatnots.

anyway, the aim of my blog is to talk abt a certain girl XYZ who dresses really differently. can't say if it's a good different or a bad different. i guess she has the style to carry it off. i like her dressing a lot sometimes but other times, i think well, she can definitely carry it off. but most of the rest of us were to wear what XYZ wears, we would be... i dunno what to say... just odd. too bad she's not around now, so can't enjoy the 'fashion show' everday. :)

hmmm feel a bit evil... so i shall share a bit of juicy gossip with all of ya... recently, it has been revealed by a certain person with a dragon print on his tie that.... wenkebach used to have a prefix before his nick. it went like this. kinky wenky... hee hee... and boy, it rhymes too! hehe... i think i'm gonna get major payback soon...

PS: by a stroke of extreme luck, i found a potential cofm patient today! but he has quite a huge load of problems... i think i can do cofm for not just one patient alone, but FOUR in total ie. his entire family!

:: reality ::

reality is this cruel... my neighbour's son finally passed away at 2am today morning... just 20 years old, not even at adult yet! he had such a fulfilling life ahead of him!!! but i think this might be a sort of 'lifting of the burden' for his mother. haiz, i hope all this passes over soon so that the healing process can begin.

:: gems from a lecture ::

what is the most abused drug in the olympics?

growth hormone

who's gonna win the next presidential election?

the taller man (whoever that might be)... according to the 'growth hormone' specialist inNUH, who freaks pple out by doing spot diagnoses in airport terminals around the world, the tallest man has been winning the US presidential elections every since 19xx (my brain's not good enuff to retain this triviality) except in the year that jimmy carter aka the shorter man, beat the taller guy... ford. tt's cuz ford was too tall he kept falling down. haha... interesting insight into the presidential elections fr a diff point of view.

tt prof also mentioned the Asean PMs, though Korea and Japan's aren't as tall as ours.... he believes that the trend is towards taller and taller PMs.

oh ha and today he mentioned something... the taller guy ALWAYS wins, unless the shorter guy is packed full of capability or intelligence or... but then again, he still loses... haha... this made me think of someone i kinda know. and i think this is such an ironic statement. if he ever makes me irritated, i shall think of this statement. ha!

ok, back to read neuro and wonder if 'the hypocondriac' will come up with another sign tomorrow. but first he has to convince himself that he has amyloidosis first, supported by the periorbital purpura post-proctoscopy! ha!

i'm so sick of neuro! kernig, meniere, korsakoff, wernicke, broca, rinne, weber, hallpike, ramsay hunt, guillain, snellen, parkinson, alzheimer, marcus gunn, froment, babinski, argyll robertson, brown-sequard, duchenne, bell, huntington...

sweet ain't it?


anyone has a beer? gimme some chips too!

yoz AGAG, got to say i'm sorry u won't have any god-wabbit to carry anytime soon... don't think i'll be able to look after a wabbit well and give it at least 2hrs of playtime everyday! think the stress of medical school will rub off on the wabbit...it might become more anxious then it normally already looks... hehehe so cute though, their woofly noses!

dunno what's this bunny's name is... it's too hard to pronounce or spell... i just know it's russian for bunny. :) cute though... oooh grey fluffy... hahaha.... and so guai, let me pick it up without struggling!

yeah this one's quite the slacker too, look at how he stretches out... looking sooo like a couch potato!

normally i don't post pictures of pple on my blog. heck i mean normally i don't EVEN post any pictures, but i think this is gonna change... and anyway, it's not like i'm posting my own pic online rite? :P don't murder me, person in the picture above, it's not you i'm concentrating on, it's the wabbit! ;)

:: the terminal ::

omg this is such a funny and heartwarming film! hahaha.... love it so much! i can watch it again and again! haha... my favourite character is that indian janitor (gupta rajan)...who is sooo paranoid about pple spying on him (pple fr CIA and so on...) yup to the extend that he actually put mr navorski (the one stranded in the airport) thru the baggage xray machine to make sure he didn't have a microphone up his *ss. and he's sooo evil, moping the floor, making it wet then placing those signs around, sitting just nearby with a burger king drink and watching pple slip sliding across the wet patch! omg, it's like watching a reality show! ha... oh manz so funny... ah haha... i gotta say, that man's got SPUNK! haha i just lurve his way of delaying the plane going back to krakozhia, single-handedly stopped the plane with his... guess wat? mop!

one of the things i like best about this show is the spirit of creativity or living one's life to the fullest! stranded in a foreign place without food or money? earn some! narvorski used his ingenuity to earn coins by returning trolleys, by doing renovation works in the airport, and at the same time building a little comfy area in gate 67 for himself. no money to have a romantic dinner with the gal u like? make one yrself! no money to buy a hugo boss suit? go borrow the display set! i like such innovative people. and i think his entire sojourn of wat... 9mths? in the terminal was such an adventure... i wouldn't mind it either. heh (but not being stuck at changi airport, tt's soooooo small i'll just perish from boredom). ha...

the one person i can't stand is tt FFP floor/flight commisioner... such a sticker for rulez, plays underhand and urghs... can't stand him... i think this kind of people are worse than those who outwardly do something illegal/criminal... ah but at least he 'redeemed' himself a bit towards the end.

orh now i know why this is such a gd film, cuz it's directed by steven spielberg!!! ha... everybody go watch it, tom i shall watch it again!

:: i know who we can neva trust! ::

i remember my longest-standing frd (hmmmm 10++) years who told me that she NEVER trusts hairdressers... and i used to chide her about not telling them clearly what haircut she wanted... well, it turned out that those wielders of the all powerful scissors are probably non-receptive to english/mandarin/maybe hokkien too. i went to the hairdresser's downstairs for a TRIM! and she did a trim PLUS shaping my hair to so it tapers down fr the sides to the centre.. kind of like an inverted triangle!! and as a result, i think i can't bun my hair up till it's grown another 2inches or more. haiz. seems like it's time for me to retire as the-one-with-the-bun and let my predecessor stanley leong take over...

:: blogging's a good outlet for stress! ::

stressed stressed... been trying to absorb as much info about aplastic anaemia, pernicious anaemia and acute leukemia... argh! actually i think haematology is quite a fascinating topic... i like BLOOD... lolz... smells so iron-ie... and tastes kinda salty and dunno, it's that kind of taste that no one will ever forget! but... i dun like lymph-y stuff... those lymphomas, lymphocytic, lymphoblastic... urgh!

just went to see wenkebach's blog, he's stressing me out more! ahhhh not to say, EW as well... @@ <- my eyes after i read the blog. sigh. i got so much to catch up on!

i've been thinking about R's cofm patient. tomorrow i got lots of ask about, i plan to call up DSA and DSS to ask whether they've got some subsidy for prosthesis and i got to drop by CareLink in the morning to learn more abt prosthesis, see if there's a solution to his problem. one thing that made me feel SO ASHAMED of ALL singaporeans... our patient, mr arthur (name changed to protect his identity), has a below knee amputation (BKA) and due to abrasion fr his prosthesis, has to stay at home for up to 6wks so that the blister heals properly (it takes tt long cuz he has diabetes mellitus (DM)). his relationships with all his relatives/wife/children are strained/sour. he lives all alone. anyway, i'm so ashamed that his only friends are the bangla-boys whom he has befriended at the coffeeshop he frequents almost daily. they would buy him dinner, visit him when he's homebound, call him up to ask how he is and stuff like that... it's sad that NOT a single local at the coffee shop has befriended him... cuz i'm sure there're other pple whittling their time off there. haiz...

perhaps, the recent comment that there's a limit to singaporeans' helpfulness is true after all...

:: AGAG ::

hey AGAG, how come u say i 'sian qi' you! wey... too much lor... btw my clinical grp pple have been badgering me for your identity... i dun think they know whether you're a guy a girl... if you're a guy, they'll probably think you're my bf or something... but then again, maybe not. but if you're a girl, then they'll think i'm les of sth. ha! make it bi... :P

:: bits n pieces of stuff ::

we all gave delice her pressies today, could tell she was thrilled by the books of poems, not too sure abt the bag n pendant though. sigh... vamos a ver...

wenky linked me on his blog! wow! i think he told me before but apparently i'm suffering fr retrograde amnesia... i chked out a link called 'life is beautiful' on his blog, expecting someone's really nice, reflective kind of blog, and what do i get... medicus.tk!!!! WTH... too much lor... put such a nice, peaceful title, trapping all these innocent, peace-loving souls out there, and by that i meant ME.

we're all in a rush to do the cofm project. hehe... got a floor plan drawn out... my first, not bad rite... AGAG go give comments, how're my skills now? hehe... http://es.geocities.com/francesca_chiu/floorplan nice? anyway, we've all kind of divided what we are going to do.. leaving HS n EW, so well... josh ( i think it was him) was saying... we could have a re-enactment of the tumultous, happening social life of our patient!!! anyway, those two looked soooo tired today even before tut started! dunno what they were doing, clerking?

found an interesting site: http://humanforsale.com/ where u can find your self-worth in dollars (USD i think), anyway i was upset i didn't hit 2million, but now tt i know the average male is worth ONLY 1.8million i dun feel that bad after all ha... i'm worth more than the average male k! the average female to my abject HORROR is only worth 1.6mil! how can?!?!?!?! GRRRRRR..... i bet i can be worth more than 2mil once i get my mbbs n start working! hrrrmph!

today LLH suddenly called and -claimed- tt we were supposed to have a tut wif her yday at 5pm! she waited till 6pm then gave up! but i tot, why didn't she just give me a ring... oh manz... and.. haha... blur me...i tot she had already left for her trip! i seriously dun rem planning any tut wif her on tue! (norm it's mon or thur) i can't fathom WOE happened... anyway she wasn't really angry abt it, i guess she's got stuff to settle before she -really- flies off tomorrow. anyway she dragged us down to the clinic to hear a pure MR murmur, and see a FON-haemophiliac... was supposed to feel an enlarged spleen too but the smart pt took off before we arrived in full gear. haha... really nice doc, LLH, thinking of us every minute, even when she's up to her neck in the clinics...

:: cg 28 ::

haiz, this is such a wonderful cg cuz it has all the wonderful pple in it, me included! ;) first we've got wenkebach, he's told us again and again not to call him wenky... (i hope u've found out what it could mean... in hs's dictionary, delice!) EW is turning more and more evil by the day... and somehow i feel that it's R who's not tt 'activated' these days, i hope she's fine... i gotta go prod her a bit, maybe we could go infect her together eh, EW? as a frd who has yi4qi4, i've decided that whatever HS does/calls EW i shall do the same for him too! we're a democratic people.
josh says my horns are growing longer by the day... i think so too... btw, do u have a nick yet?
hypochondriac looked like a vampire today n HS called me SCB today! grrrr... watch out for my tendon tapper (the sharp end)!
aiyo, headache...
but... just to stresss everyone a bit (i have to live up to evil's name) i've FINISHED my THIRD report! and found my fourth report to write! yeah!!!!!!

:: 'supergised' me ::

i had a really fulfilling day at the hospital today! dunno what came over me, but i had a really great time doing express clerking and express physical examinations today! i saw two hepatosplenomegalies, one klinefelter's syndrome, one epigastric mass, one jaundice, one submandibular node... and badgered a few HOs and MOs alike for answers to my questions. anyway, sometimes the answer they give just hit me like a slap to my forehead... and i think: why didn't i think of that! then i'll retire to hide in one corner of the ward, far far away fr that doc and hope never to show my face to him/her again! ha... so paiseh at times!

:: incompatibility with the network ::

something is really really wrong wif me and the server today. maybe our ba1 zi4 clash. or maybe we're like chargers tt repel of sth... first, both my blogs couldn't load, then, my tagboard couldn't load, next my calendar couldn't load! ahhhh!!! next, my friendster account (yes i do have one) suddenly showed all my frds as DELETED! i almost had an AMI, i swore there and then on the spot that if the webmaster couldn't solve my problem i would never use friendster again. just then, i pressed 'f5' and all was well again. this episode recurred a couple of more times... haiz... horrid.

ps: if any frds are reading this blog and wonder why i said 'no, i don't have a friendster account' when you asked me so, it's cuz either i really didn't have one then, or else it's just simply, i have no wish to add u to my list. my account is only for friends i know, not random. sorry!

woooohoooo it's almost 10+++ hours down the road and i STILL haven't finished my writeup! this is one damn 'windy' writeup, heh, perfect for the doc i intend to hand this in to! ;) *giggles*

my patient's main problem is: IVC thrombosis (actually it's not just the IVC it's also the left common iliac, left external iliac and bilateral distal DVTs). it's not wonder it prompted the almost frantic hunt for suspected malignancies, vasculitis and autoimmune diseases... but... nada... zilch... zero... this is all complicated with uncontrolled autoimmune dm (got high high GAD!), hypercholesterolaemia, osteoarthritis, gastritis and... yes that's all! i think when she comes back for f/u, they're going to measure her tumor markers again, i hope hope hope it comes up as negative!!! such a nice funny lady, been in the hospital for almost a month and 'clerked to death' (since the docs in that ward ALL enthusiastically recommend her as a good long case!) really nice woman! and let me do all the physical examinations.... so cheerful too! not like many other long-staying patients who look like they've eaten some suan1mei2.

hmmm... it's 0028hrs now, i'm feeling sooo slack... i spent my day playing lots of computer games, reading on calcium, ADH, GH and ACTH and retaining just under 10% of what i've read... and i had lots of fruits... an interesting dinner cuz my mother was experimenting!!! (some things are better left unsaid) purposely walked in the small drizzle when i could have gotten shelter at the void decks... i was just feeling sooo in touch with nature and somehow feeling the perverse pleasure of being a weirdo.

i'm not going for lectures at nus tomorrow... yucks... it's APPROACH to back, joint pain, impaired renal function, haematuria and proteinuria... i hope hypochon goes for the lectures, esp the one on proteinuria! ;) i'm half tempted to go back to nus cuz then i can SHOW OFF to my fellow CG the beautifully laser-printed notes i have and also catch mohshan, dantong or valerie during lunch. but but... i just hate nus n lectures too much! hahaha! hmmm i think i'll laser print my last two writeups, the printing is just so crisp and clear! i can't help it, i'm a perfectionist!

off to bed... time out: 0032hrs. SEE, I CAN REALLY TYPE FAST RITE?

:: duh ::

i was having a perfectly perfect weekend when i decided to go read wenkebach's blog. it totally stressed me out! what's heartus pupillatus? (ignore the latin, i think wenky spelt it wrongly)... there're too many secret codes on our blogs these days... haiz... as if it's not bad enuff trying to figure out things like PEARL, NAD... i could go on and on and on about it... i like SLE best, cuz it makes me think of both systemic lupus erythematosus and seletar expressway (correct rite?), and somehow to two superimposed together just makes me chuckle.

haiz. sianz. i wanna spend a whole glorious hour playing astropop on my bro's computer but but but... i know i should just get back to my case writeup (ha... i spotted an investigation tt didn't really have to be done!) or at least go read some kumar n clarke. haiiiiyooooo super sian and burnt out. haiz i know i NEED to go c more patients hai... but i'm so chronically fatigued i'm beginning to get worried i got some underlying dz... or maybe it's cuz i've been spending too much time hanging out with a hypochondriac. maybe tt's why...

it's always a bad sign when i start rambling and babbling like this. it's a sign of in-coming melancholy. luckily it's saturday or my poor cg will have to endure with my green prune face.

due to feedback from AGAG, i've been asked to pose this question... does the amount of energy dissipated as light energy by this 'bulb' vary according to anything? like intensity of ..., distance..., or anything? hehe...

:: the concept of the Watt ::

today, due to 'popular' demand (actually only 2 pple), i've decided to blog about the Watt. what's the Watt? apart from this: Power (Wt) = IV, and Power (Wt) = E/t...

here's the definition of Watt in CG28. the Watt is an intrinsic characteristic of Wenkebach that only manifests when placed in close proximity of HS and EW. When within a 3m radius, this characteristic is multiplied many times over, creating lots of distraction (ie. a huge walking light bulb).

on a different matter, we have to thank the SGH administration for dividing our 7-man CG into tiny grps of 3s and 4s, how else could we benefit so much from our personal tutors and during tutorials? and more importantly, what else could create such great opportunities for social interaction and contribution to baby-deprived singapore in the way of headcount?

:: wish i were on orthopaedics posting!!! ::

ouch! one word to describe my day from 2pm onwards... ouch ouch ouch... each step is pure torture! after an episode of overzealous enthusiasm at jogging and over-enthusiasm, medical student suffered from muscle cramps, ankle aches and resting pain a day after. there was no erythema, warmth or tenderness at the joints of the foot. there was also no joint crepitus. as for morning stiffness, kiv, we'll see tomorrow morning!

anyway, when i got off the bus i felt PURE pain! jolting up! ooooh! it's a miracle i didn't fall down, so i hobbled (dunno how i managed to hobble tt short 10m) cuz BOTH legs were sooooo painful at the ankles... anyway i was wondering, so did i kena a fracture? i rem my cousin getting a sprain during one basketball session and suddenly ended up with a fracture which required him to get this screwy thing into his fibula...

aiyoh... pain manz... ok i'm going to try counterpain now.. if tt doesn't work, then piroxicam should do the trick!

ps: later i shall blog about the pervert on the bus... grrr.....

:: stanley's extreme makeover ::

since it's S's birthday tomorrow, i shall dedicate my 'blog-of-the-day' to STANLEY LEONG of cg28. happy 23rd birthday!

stan came with a funky hairdo today, the result of a tussle with the hairdresser's scissors. he probably came off worse than the hairdresser. the results as derrick put it, was an extreme makeover, but the result was the opposite to the usual ones we see on tele. actually i think it's ok, it's a great change... on retrospect, it makes him look more youthful! haha... i know you'll probably be frowning when u read this stanley, but can't be helped... next time when you start work as a HO will naturally gain the maturity and wrinkles and other stuff... maybe can take the opportunity to change your frames shape... did u change it or not? it looks different today leh... oh... or normally u wear contacts right? keep to contacts lah... u look really young wif specs!

stan also mentioned something about wanting to keep his hair long like ivan fr med, n then he'll bun it up like i always do... haha... ok, sure, i'll sponsor you the hair clips for that. need tutorial for it too? keke...

anyway, may all your dreams come true! yup and may you become more evil then before! ;)

here it is... a photo of the new and improved stanley ->>>

hmm i'm SURE it's not spanish, cuz i shld know mah... and anyway, there's an entry further down n that one is in spanish, no doubts about that. i doubt it's portuguese cuz by now, i do recognise quite a few words in portuguese and it's got cool stuff like çao and loads of m for the n´s in spanish... well... so i think i rule out port. yet, it´s not really french, though there's some stuff like 'et' and stuff... but but... if it were french, i ought to be able to recog lah... this thing is WEIRD...
ah HA! while i was wondering... i keep thinking, now which language is a sort of combi btwn spanish, italian and french... tadaaaa! CATALÁN!!! woohoooo!

ok, my final diagnosis, this blog is in catalán. who wants to challenge me?

fuzzy: am i fuzzy? erm only after i've lost a battle with my hair brush in the morning! fuzzier right after tutorials!

realistic: i would like to think i am... perhaps i am... but sometimes, some ADULTS say i'm NOT. well we'll see...

altruistic: not exactly sure what this means, must be PRECISE... flip flip dictionary says altruistic: the willingness to do things which benefit other people, even if it results in disadvantage for yourself... hmmm yes i think i'm like that. as a result, some pple say i'm made used of by others... well at least i dun have a guilty conscience over that and i shall repeatedly chant to myself 'death to all who made use of me...' haha... evil rears its head once more!

nice: what a boring, ordinary, bleah word. nice? so vague, muz be PRECISE! haha... a friend told me over icq, i'm not surprised you're in med... you're so precise even when chatting. oops! i think i stress out fellow chatmates!

creepy: ooo yes, this is definitely am. nowadays my creepiness index has fallen quite a bit. i'm too tired with studying to hype up my creep factor. i used to scare all around me with my ghost stories, stories of voodoo practices and gross facts of egyptian mythology. in fact, my cousin told me: you sha1qi4 is soo heavy that ghosts aren't likely to want to bother u!

explosive: hmmm... i'm def neither explosive in character nor laughter. lilleen says i have a bovine laugh... like a bovine cough. sheesh... but i think it's true ha. hey i'm unique! the owner of a bovine laugh! i think i sneeze explosively. i can't help it, not my fault k, blame my sinuses!

serious: yes, i. am. very. very. serious. all. day. long.

complicated: er ok. i am complicated. my feelings get quite comp at times... my fears are all complicating my dreams... i'm so confused... and complicated.

awkward: yes i do feel awkward when in unfamiliar situations and when with strangers. i'm shy mah! haha...

:: spanish blog / blog español ::

i have a new blog, and 99% of the stuff there should be done in spanish. i did this in the hope that it'll motivate me to write more en español. to see the blog, click on the 'Español' link on the right column, under 'about me'. right now... nothing much there... prob go put some film reviews there.

tengo un blog nuevo. intento escribir todo en español allí para que pueda mejorar el nivel de español. en este momento no hay nada allí porque no tengo el tiempo para escribir. si puedo hallar los ´blogs´ pasados sobre las películas que he visto, voy a ponerlos en eso blog. para ver mi blog, clique en el enlace ´Español´ en la derecha, abajo del encabezamiento ´about me´. ¡muchas gracías!
