Henry Lubong's Journal

Whew! It could have a been a very expensive speeding ticket this morning, given that this is my third speeding violation this year alone, but the cop cited me for a fix it ticket instead. I just left the house on my 325i and a few blocks after, and only about a few hundred yards [...]

When years are passing by like days,
and in my hand your hand is placed,
a knowing smile crosses your face,
a simple touch can still make my heart race.
When I can see my soul in your eyes,
and you see your soul in mine we realize,
that a love so deep can harbor no lies,
where our only tears shed [...]

Not quite but almost. I went for my required post surgery check up this morning to see how my eyes are doing. My eyes are healing pretty good. Most importantly, I did the visual acuity test and what an amazing result… 20/15 on both eyes!!! I’m okay with 20/20 but hey, I’ll take that anytime. [...]

When things are good it’s hard not to burst with joy so please allow me to say this…. AWESOME!!! Do i need to explain it further. As you can tell, I’m very happy with my Lasik surgery. Besides purchasing my beloved Ducati just a year ago, Lasik is the best thing that I’ve ever spent [...]

No, not the facial laser treatment. That is a hopeless case for me. I’m getting my vision treated tomorrow or in other words, I’ll get LASIK surgery done. It was not an easy decision because as you know, LASIK is a non-reversible refractive surgery and any surgery always poses a risk. I’m a big risk [...]

I’ve been mourning since we came back from our vacation. I’m just blogging now because it’s hard for me to tell this story. When we arrived on Tuesday morning, the first thing I checked was my dogs. They usually come running to me when I call them but one didn’t show up. My other dogs [...]

My parent’s dogs (which is technically mine) got loose today. Their names are Olen and Cooper, both males. I searched for them for two hours this afternoon with no luck. On my way back tonight from gokarting, I drove around their neighborhood again and just took a chance that I may find them. It must [...]

Sometimes babysitting can be fun. Those are mine and Carmela’s footprints in the blanket.

It started with a dry itchy throat on Wednesday when I woke up in the morning. The following day, I was having chills, fever and a severe headache. I still had a dry cough. My temperature was always above 100F. The Extra Strength Tylenol I was taking helped a bit but does not take the [...]

Of all the time, why did my battery died today when I am in a hurry to get home (this is before the Prius incident below). Apparently, I left my ignition switch on “Park” this morning. I admit my fault but I also blame the engineers in Ducati. The problem is, the park position is [...]

Last year, I had four incidents with my motorcycle involving Prius drivers. All of them are almost close to fatal accidents. I don’t know what’s up with people who drives a Prius (yes, that ugly looking Toyota car) but they desparately need some driving class. Once again, tonight while I was riding home from work, [...]

“Save the cheerleader, save the world.” Oh wait, what I am talking about. Too much Heroes in my head Alright, so I did a 7 day marathon and just finished watching the three seasons of Heroes. Thanks to Netflix on Tivo, I was able to watch all of them in one week. I [...]

It’s a tradition so I’ll play. Let me recap what I listed last year:

Blog more often – I think I did pretty good this year
No more visit to the E.R. – Almost not made this, but I succeed
Healthier me – How ’bout I say I lost a total of 15 lbs this year, wohooo. I’m [...]

Hello 2009! New year, new life, let’s hope so. We are all aware with the current situation of the world. There’s nothing we can do. This very world that we live in is not getting any better and is just going to be worse. I don’t know about you but my hope is not within [...]

I had a hilarious incident this morning going to work. I was driving in my van with my wife when a Honda Element cut right in front of me. My wife said, “the driver just gave you a finger.” Then the driver braked abruptly while we’re going about 80mph and he did it several times. [...]

I tried Pepcid for 3 days but I don’t see any improvement for my stomach pain. My doctor upgraded me to Prilosec, an over-the-counter medicine. I was supposed to take it for 14 days straight. The box contains two packs of 14 tablets each. If my first pack does not work, I have to wait [...]

So we were at the hospital for my Mom almost all day yesterday. I didn’t have lunch and for some stupid reason, around 3 o’clock, I had a mocha. Early in the evening, I had this severe stomach pain that I’ve never experienced before in my life. We thought it was gas pain, so I [...]

I had a call this morning from my Dad that my Mom is at Kaiser hospital because of an unusual back pain. So we went there and got a chance to talked to the attending Doctor. We were told that it could be a kidney stone but they were still waiting for the test results [...]

I went to DMV today to transfer the title of my new motorcycle. Everything went smooth and quick! Less than 1 minute to find a parking, 4 minutes of waiting after I got my number, and in 11 minutes, I was able to obtain a registration slip and a new license plate. That’s very impressive!
