an incomplete list of the Bullshit ive gone through this year (2021 only), for personal edification:

I am in grad school trying to do research as well as TA a lab class during a global pandemic

My car is broken into in late February outside of my apartment. $1700+ of my backpacking/camping gear and personal items were stolen from it. Ironically they did not find the $20 cash I had.

Car battery begins mysterious dying if left overnight and have to call for rescue from AAA 4 separate times over the course of March. I suspect it is related to being broken into but can’t prove it without a mechanic’s diagnostics.

First mechanic I bring my car to does nothing for the entire MONTH they have it, except break my air conditioning of all things. I live in a desert. It is now 90º every day. At one point they call me to say they can’t get the back doors to open. I walk 2 miles back to them from campus and demonstrate how the automatic doors work on a 2005 minivan. I begin to have regrets about my mechanic choice but the sunk fallacy cost keeps me there for several weeks.

Mid march I also wake up one day to severe jaw pain/a weird “loose” feeling, like my mouth is slanting sideways. It is midterms and I do not have time for this, so I take a lot of ibuprofen and eat soup for a week. After 3 days I shove pillows and blankets around my face one night to keep my jaw aligned and when I wake up the next morning it is severely tight instead of loose, and I have to carefully stretch it open whenever I leave my mouth closed for more than an hour. I guess I just have TMJ now.

At this point I am walking everywhere until bike supplies arrive to fix my flat tire since the bike store is too far away to walk to; including walking back and forth to campus since I can only bring 2-4 out of 8 students into the lab spaces at a time and so effectively have to run each weekly lab 2-4 times per week; as well as going back and forth for greenhouse experiment monitoring/helping undergrads on our NASA contest project

Early April I go to the dentist for a crown on one of my back molars, which I must pay for out of pocket because my new dental insurance purchased when I moved last September has a 1-year waiting period and so will not cover it ($1200). Stretching my jaw open so far for the procedure reignites my new TMJ back to high pain levels.

While still waiting on car in mid-April I have a severe averse reaction to the second dose of the Covid19 vaccine, resulting in painful ulceration of all the soft tissues in my body (mouth, stomach, genitals). It is a very bad time for 3 days and I book an urgent care appointment for the first time ever.

Urgent Care nurse-practitioner does not believe me when I describe what’s happening, and misdiagnoses me with herpes.

I am still biking everywhere but now I’m extra mad and in pain about it so take car back from mechanic so I can get groceries etc. I make an appointment with the dealership but it will be a week until they can take it. In the meanwhile I have to drive it every 8 hours so it won’t die which means getting up at 2am to drive it for 20 minutes in the middle of the night so it will still turn on in the morning.

I have a terrible reaction to the numbing cream given to me for the painful open sores over my body, because of a lifelong mint sensitivity, resulting in an even greater amount of pain

The dealership can fix my car over the following week but its $1800 and now insurance isn’t sure they want to cover it after all

Herpes test comes back negative and nurse apologizes profusely and recommends a non-mint OTC numbing cream alternative that works (yay) and a numbing spray that does not work because it turned out to use an alcohol based propellant which should not be combined with open wounds esp on the genitals (ouch ouch ouch). I try to tell the nurse why I was right about my diagnosis and she was wrong but she still believes it was a latent virus of some other variety and and not an immune response alone, despite the published case studies I have brought to back me up. I decide I have bigger hills I need to die on right now and stop arguing. Sores persist into May but eventually do go down and numbing cream keeps me moderately functioning.

Car is fixed and I can drive again but it takes 2 hours of crying on the phone to my insurance company for them to agree to cover the cost of repair

I make a primary care appointment for the first time in years so I can have a doctor in this state if something like this happens to me again, in June I do intake/bloodwork/set up appointments to check out some other issues ive been having

Grad school finals happen which i wont get into but Yeah. Finals stress triggers another outbreak of canker sores, but mostly clustered in my mouth and only 2 on my vulva rather than 8-12. I eat only soup for another week.

I get a referral to the local mental health clinic and call about setting up an appointment for an ADHD evaluation. They tell me to download and send in some paperwork and they will call when they have available appointments

I am supposed to be doing all my labwork over the summer but the committee member I need escapes my clutches and we don’t manage to set up a meeting to plan it out/for him to explain the protocols until late June

Bloodwork shows I am critically low in vitamin b12 and low in D, which may explain some of why I am so tired all the time

Ultrasound shows a 1.8cm mass in the adnexa near my left ovary. There are several options for what it can be (folicular cyst, other kind of cyst, tumor, ectopic pregnancy i nearly laugh at my Dr and reassure her the last one is not possible if nothing else). It may go away on its own or it may not. Follow up scan in 2 months

I remember I was supposed to email forms to the mental health clinic and finally send those in mid July. It seems cruel to make me be the one to remember this considering I am calling about a formal ADHD diagnosis.

I also finally pin everyone relating to my labwork down and have a follow up meeting + make a list of what we need to order, but the staff who place orders are on vacation and when they get back several reagents are backordered

I have my follow-up ultrasound. The tech takes lots of photos which indicates the mass is still present, but I won’t know any details until my next PCP appointment when they send over the analysis to her in mid-August

Beginning of August the reagents I need for the first steps of the process arrive exactly 1 day before I leave town for a wedding and the lab manager is about to leave town for the entire next week

After the wedding, severe thunderstorms and tornados trap me in Chicago for 4 extra days. I spend a lot of time at the airport or on my way between the airport and my parents house. A facebook friend gets video of the funnel clouds which at least gives me something to sadly email my advisor and committee members when I have to join our planning meeting from my gate at O’Hare

I lose my drivers license at the security checkpoint on my last trip through the airport and don’t realize until I am boarding the plane because of course that is happening to me now

On the shuttle from El Paso back to Las Cruces after this ordeal the driver stops and picks up a box labeled HUMAN BLOOD and puts it in the trunk and i am too tired to care anymore

I stay up all night making the world’s most pitiful r graphs for my meeting the next morning and everyone takes pity on me and does not call out how useless they are

I spend the weekend trying to motivate myself to actually go into the lab and start my procedures, and fail to leave my apartment. This reminds me it has now been a month (Aug 15th) since I sent in my paperwork and the mental health clinic has still not called me back about up an appointment

I get overwhelmed with Everything and make this list

So that’s where I’m at at the moment. And this doesn’t even include anything from 2020 thats just been continuous like, y’know, a global pandemic and having a bad breakup of a 4 year relationship and moving to a new city where I know no one for grad school etc. I feel like I’m falling apart/unable to do all the shit I need to right now but you know what? Actually its been a really bad time and maybe falling apart a little is justified ;_;

#ramblings #wharglbargle #like Damn its been a Time and i need to cry about it i guess #negativity //

Pairing: Taehyung x female O/C

Genre: Fluffyest Fluffy Fluff, a little bit of angst if you squint really hard.

Summary: After getting used to the idea of just being her and her little daughter against the world. Autumn is proven wrong once again when fate has different plans for them.

Warnings: None

A/N: The original prompt is from @hybridfanfiction ( their prompts are the cutest, check them out!) This is my first attempt on sharing some of my work and is also my first hybrid fic. I love the reader inserts but not a fan of the Y/N type thing so feel free to just imagine your name instead if you prefer! I have material to make this a series but will leave it as a one shot for now to see if you guys like it! I totally don't own the gifts.

Disclaimer: English is not my first language. Read at your own risk 😂

Ch. 1 Ch. 2 Ch. 3

A smile spread across her face as she listened to her little beam of sunshine’s effusive explanation of her adventures with her imaginary hybrid friend Tata, the girl’s imagination never ceased to amaze her mother. It was definitely a trait that she got from her Father, she thought with a certain melancholy in her eyes.

‘’ And then, last time, Toby was being really mean, he said that I was weird and pulled my hair, but Tata growled at him a little bit and he ran away. Isn't he the best Mama?" - Her little eyes twinkled with adoration, Autumn's first instinct was to coo at her cuteness but something of what she said sent alarms to her mind.- "Haneul, honey, are kids being rude to you at school?" - Having her daughter being bullied at school because of her heritage was one of her biggest fears-

" Mmm… sometimes, but after Tata saved me, they haven't! - She smiled the brightest smile, and Autumn felt a knot clog her throat and dread wash over her stomach. She forced a smile at the best of her ability while nodding and made a mental note to talk with the teachers at the end of the day. She would transfer her daughter to another kindergarten if needed.- ‘’ Ok, honey bear, we are here. Remember that I’m picking you up earlier today for your dentist’s appointment. - Haneul immediately sulked at the prospect, murmuring indecipherable complaints under her breath, but she still kissed her mom’s cheek before running off when she caught the sight of her favorite teacher.-

Autumn waved at the teacher, answering to her smile with one of her own as the teacher was dragged away by an enthusiastic Haneul. Just for the time being she decided to put her worries aside and tend to some of the urgent matters at hand. Jimin and Jin were driving her insane by the minute, her phone buzzing every 2 minutes as if they were taking turns to annoy her.

‘’ You know perfectly fine that I need to drop Haneul at school every day, Jimin!’’ - Was her response as she heard the whiney complaints from the other side of the line, she assured that she would be there in a few minutes with a roll of her eyes before she hanged up.

She loved her friends with her whole heart, they were the ones that pulled her through when Haneul’s dad decided to abandon her while she was pregnant with their daughter, If it wasn't for them and Haneul herself, she wouldn’t be where she is at… But they were, a lot of the time, pains in the butt.

The store was a battlefield once she got there, flowers and decorations scattered everywhere, and a very stressed out Jungkook running around under the direction of an even more stressed out Jimin. They looked at her as if she was some kind of savior before throwing themselves to her arms once they realized she had arrived. She could just roll her eyes at their antics before getting down to work.

‘’ Ok, I’m out!’’ - She announced, after they finally handed out the last piece of arrangements for the wedding, the event was a really big project and she was relieved that everything turned out ok, the customer was more than ecstatic with the results, and there were really few things that gave Autumn more satisfaction than a happy customer.-

‘’ But Noona…’’ - Came Jimin’s protest as an instant response. But it died out quickly when she turned around sharply and Jin put his hand over his mouth to quiet him down. She could be a little scary when tired. Jin thought the younger boy should know better, having been her friend for so long. - ‘’ Go ahead, and bring Haneul over to my place afterwards, we miss our little bundle of joy, I’ll cook dinner for all of us! Maybe I could convince Yoongi to come and bring Hobi with him’’ - Jin requested and the other two agreed with eager nods, Autumn smiled lovingly, she truly had the best of friends. She assured that she would be back quickly as she made her way out of the flower store that Jin and her had opened together. The last thing she heard, a chorus of ‘’By noona’s’’ and ‘’I love you’s’’ ringing one over the other, that made her smile grow even bigger. She truly loved the punks.

‘’ I’m here to pick Haneul up for her dentists appointment’’ - The teacher nodded knowingly, with a small smile, apparently HaNeul had been complaining to all that would lend an ear about the terrifying encounter with a robot monster that she would have to go through that day. Autumn could just chuckle at her daughter's dramatics. - ‘’ Also, is Mrs. Lee, around today? I need to talk with her about some worries of mine’’ - The teacher sent her a worried look as she sensed the discomfort in Autumn’s tone but after she assured her that it wasn’t something too serious, she explained that the principal wasn’t available at the moment. Autumn would have to call her. She had known Mrs. Lee for a long time anyways.-

Following the direction of the young teacher that had to leave her on her own to attend one of the kids with a little potty emergency, Autumn made her way to the playground where all the kids were taking lunch break. After a few minutes, she spotted the light haired girl sitting over one of the farest corners close to the fence. Her heart dropped as she started to come closer and noticed who her little girl was talking so excitedly to, she couldn't believe her eyes, the school was not just reckless about bullying but they also let the kids unsupervised where they could be approached by strangers?

The stranger was munching on a half sandwich, the other half on Haneul’s hand remained untouched as she bounced on her place, there was a soft smile on the man’s face as he seemed to intently listen to her daughter. As Autumn came closer, her steps slowed down as she realized that HaNeul was actually talking with a hybrid, the male seemed to be younger than her, probably around Jimin’s age, but he was so skinny and dirty that he could easily pass for someone younger. Her heart hurt for him.

She noticed some movement that made her nervous but before her quickening steps took her close enough, a scene that horrified her took place before her eyes.

A group of kids came running with piles of mud gathered on their hands, one of them quickly throwing some in Haneul’s direction. A scream died on Autumn’s throat, unable to really comprehend what had happened before the kids ran away from the scene. The man that her daughter had been feeding for weeks now, the same one that she thought was just an imaginary friend, had jumped over the fence standing in between the projectile of mud and her daughter’s little body, staring down the mean boys until they had left the scene running.

‘’ MAMMA!’’ - Before having much time to react, Autumn felt the little body crash against her leg. HaNeul’s flushed little face was stained with drying tears as she explained how the mean boys had attacked her friend and asked her to help him out. Autumn took her in her arms, hugging her and whispering comforting words to calm her down. She started walking towards the Hybrid who was awkwardly standing in the same spot, mud dripping down his right leg, she noticed now that he was standing, how much taller than her he was. Once Haneul noticed her mom wasn't moving any more, she turned her head to face her friend and dedicated a watery smile towards him that he struggled to reciprocate. Autumn could sense the fear emanating from him.

‘’ Look, Tata! It’s my momma, isn’t she super pretty?!’’ - Haneul’s eyes sparkled with innocence, the hybrid timidly nodded in response and Autumn noticed a cute blush spreading across his cheeks. -

‘’ Hey there…’’ - Autumn started but was quickly interrupted by the terrified hybrid’s frenetic attempt to explain himself.- ‘’ I’m really sorry, I tried to refuse but she was so kind and her sandwich smelled really good. I… Please don’t report me, I’ll take any kind of punishment, but please don’t call Hybrid control.’’ - His deep voice ended up as a whimpery whisper as he begged her. Autumn felt her stomach drop and her mouth dried out, she felt like crying for the pitiful state of the boy in front of her. -

‘’ Sorry, but I have no intention to report or punish you whatsoever. I actually wanted to thank you for protecting Haneul, It makes me happy that she has a friend like you.’’ - His fluffy ears twitched in her direction as soon as she started talking but as she called him her daughter’s friend, his eyes jumped to her face, trying to look for any sign of hostility, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips as he took in the soft smile that she was dedicating him. - ‘’ I’m Autumn, an it’s a pleasure to finally meet you Tata!’’ - She extended her arm, patiently waiting for him to shake her hand. He hesitated for a few minutes before timidly taking her hand in his for a second of two. - ‘’ My name is actually Taehyung’’ - He softly corrected, the blush coming back to his sunken cheeks, making Autumn smile even brighter -

‘’ Well, Taehyung, if you don’t have anything else to do today, I would love to invite you for lunch to thank you for helping Haneul, you could come and wash out all the mud from the attack too if you would like.’’ - She suggested but he was nodding before she could even finish the idea. -

‘’ ¡Oh, my gosh! Mrs. Kim, I am so sorry, I don’t really know how he got here, the kids told me about what happened, I’m calling Hybrids control right now.’’ - The panicked voice of Haneul’s teacher caught their attention, Taehyung immediately flinching back with a loud whimper at the mention of hybrid control, pleading no’s flowing out of his mouth incessantly as he started backing away slowly. Haneul started crying out to him,but before things escalated too much, Autumn, lowered the teacher’s hand that was holding the phone. -

‘’It won’t be necessary, Miss Kang. Taehyung here is a friend of ours’’ - Autumn assured, making both the teacher and the Hybrid freeze on spot. She then gestured for Taehyung to come closer, Haneul reaching for his hand as soon as he was close enough. - ‘’ If you could just let Mrs. Lee know that I will be calling her, that would be awesome! - She requested before leaving the scene with the boy that already felt like the new addition to her family.

Howdy tumblrinos!

Things are going. It looks like I’ll be having surgery in the first week of July, things are just a little delayed since elective and non-urgent surgeries were put on hold for a few months.

I talked to work this week, letting them know that it will be actually six weeks off, not the two I had originally suggested. They set me up with a short term disability plan. Which is great, it is very helpful. It has been weird though, since I’m quite friendly with my HR representative and she looked like she wanted to ask me more about it, but didn’t because she wasn’t allowed. Likewise with my boss. He knows it is surgery and I’ve been having a lot of pain for the last while. But it is none of their business. I told a two friends at work about the nature of what’s going on, but they won’t say anything to anyone. They are good. I just don’t need extra random coworkers knowing about my reproductive organs and the state of them.

But, I’m feeling a bit better emotionally, no thanks to a lousy phone appointment with my psychiatrist; he basically ignored all my requests for extra help dealing with the stress, so I am on my own. I’ve been talking about all my fears lately, many of them surrounding A. I know she’s scared that she won’t know what to do to help when I’m recovering. She’s also afraid of hurting me somehow. Sometimes, when the pain is bad, even hugging me can cause total abdominal pain. I also worry that she’s got so much on her plate already with work, that taking care of me will be extra difficult. She’s taking a little time off work, but I made her promise not to take the full amount, it would drive me crazy to be waited on when I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself.

I guess what I’m mostly scared about personally, is that nothing will solve the pain that I am in so regularly. In the past, I had so many diagnoses that went nowhere, so I’m worried that I’ll go through this pretty mega procedure and then I’ll still have pain. Like going to the dentist with a toothache, having all your teeth pulled, and it turns out it was a problem with your nose.

So it still is scary. I don’t wait very well, and this is a lot of waiting right now. Even just to find out the day of my surgery. I thought I would have heard by now. I have to learn to be patient.

Anyways, I’m going to have a lot of time on my hands, so I might be posting a lot. I’ll try to put anything really TMI in a keep reading cut. I might even call on you guys to entertain me or cheer me up. Give me some recommendations, send me a funny. That kind of thing. I’ll let you know, it is still some time to go.

Okay, time to get some rest. I’ve had a killer migraine today and I need to get it figured out.

Everyone stay safe and be kind to one another.

Lots of love, Barachiki

Occult Blood and other Seitanic Nightmares

I have mentioned recently on Ao3 and Discord that I have been having Serious Health Issues lately.

To begin the story of my health breaking down, I want to show you a picture:

And you're like, "OK H-L, what the hell's that?"

THOSE are "sticky vegan spare ribs" made of seitan, which is pretty much pure wheat gluten.

Before eating said sticky vegan spare ribs, I did not believe that I had any problems with wheat gluten. I know several people with c[o]eliac disease, and I'm aware of a few others who can't eat gluten due to auto-immune conditions, but I did not think I was one of them. I've had a foul digestive system for years but had been mostly keeping it under control by avoiding dairy, eggs, animal protein in general, and eating a very large number of prebiotics and probiotics. Gluten? Didn't think that was a problem at all.

Profound TMI and potential triggers below the cut.

Cue the next morning, when I woke up with really bad cramping in my large intestine and as much blood as if I'd been having a period, only coming from what doctors refer to as my "back passage". Holy crap.

Well. So. I continued to have diarrhoea throughout the trip, came home and rang the GP surgery. At the time the coronavirus outbreak was just ramping up, so the GP I spoke to was basically telling me "it probably isn't cancer if you've only had it the once, call back in a few months if it continues." I never thought it might be cancer, but I was pretty worried about coeliac disease.

So from March around to June, I have been having diarrhoea between 2 and 5+ times a day. Sometimes explosive. Sometimes very painful. Got to 4th June and decided it had been "a few months" and I needed medical attention. Spoke to a GP in a telephone appointment, who took it all very seriously and ordered a bunch of blood tests and a stool sample.

The initial blood tests for c[o]eliac disease - IgA-TGA and IgG-TGA came back "negative", but I haven't seen the actual numbers. Also, according to both a very comprehensive review article and MayoClinic recommendations, these tests are negative in around 8% of people who do turn out to have coeliac disease.

In the meantime another GP reviewed the results and decided I should produce some more stool samples, one to be cultured to test what bacteria I have in my intestines, and the other a FIT test for occult blood. Which sounds awesome, but it just means hidden blood in your poo. That came back positive, which means that I have hit the "you might have cancer" target and been referred urgently to Gastroenterology under the Rapid Referral Scheme.

It's only about a 10% chance of being cancer, and I'm not even worried about that. I'm pretty young for bowel cancer. I've been trying to explain to people how even if it was cancer, I'm less afraid of a nice solid tumour in Stage 1 that hasn't had the chance to break off and metastasise than I am of a lifelong horrible inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's. I know that might sound really weird, but I'm aware of how "cancer" isn't a single illness, it all depends on the specific gene mutation that you have, and the word alone doesn't trigger me. I know several people who have had cancers found early and they're fine now.

I'm not even afraid of the colonoscopy which is booked for Wednesday. I seem to know a startlingly large number of people who have had to have one well before the age of 50, for one reason or another. What I'm distressed by is the fact I can't eat normal food from Sunday round to Tuesday, and then have to starve myself from 1pm on Tuesday, and then take medication to make the world fall out of my bottom. Twice. I already have the world falling out of my bottom on a regular basis - or at least I did, see below - and it's horrendous.

In other news I decided that I didn't care what the blood tests said, I was going to stop eating gluten and see if it made any difference. So I've cut out everything which contains wheat, barley, spelt, or gluten, though some of the things in my diet still "may contain traces of gluten". Since there isn't any need to go all the way gluten-free until I have some sort of medical proof that gluten is the problem, right? Except... I've gone from diarrhoea 2-5+ times PER DAY to having 2 episodes of diarrhoea in the past NINE DAYS. That's pretty conclusive, right?

Yesterday I woke up again with really bad cramping in my large intestine and more blood in my poo. It's probably from an injury from having had so much explosive diarrhoea, but from the position of the cramping over the top of my belly, I don't think it's anything up my bum but a lot further round. Today I woke up from one of those anxiety dreams about teeth falling out. Usually I can stave those off when I've been to the dentist within the last 6 months and determined that my teeth and gums are doing okay, but not today... So I'm distressed, anxious, and my tummy hurts.

Honestly, I really believe that I have either coeliac disease or non-coeliac gluten intolerance. The part where I stopped eating gluten and the problem almost completely went away seems telling, to me. I'm very aware of the psychosomatic effect and how a person can "believe" something that isn't true, get well from a placebo treatment or whatever. But I don't think my intestines could do that?

In the meantime, I am stressed beyond belief about the next few days. All I can eat is bland white carbohydrates, tofu, milk, yogurt without bits, fruit juice without bits, lemon sorbet, and a very small number of vegetables/fruit. I am very much a food-oriented person and it's already distressing that I may well have to stop eating gluten for life, without all the other nonsense in this temporary diet.

By the way, being a person with a rather sick sense of humour, it will actually HELP if you make "up the bum" jokes. I'd definitely prefer it to "I'm praying for you", which makes me angry at the best of times.

[VENT POST] Summary of my health bullshit:

2 days into the New Year of 2020 I got a dental abscess and had to start antibiotics. My wisdom teeth were rotted.

Jan 15th went for wisdom tooth surgery. Panicked. I was afraid of the IV anesthesia they were using but it turns out because I’m addicted to Clonazepam and have been for 7 years now that the Midazolam they use is actually cross-tolerant so they had to double the dose.

Was on antibiotics & antibacterial mouthwash for 3 weeks so I developed oral thrush. Almost got on antifungal for it but it was fine by my next visit. This is February.

February 25th my allergies and ear pressure issues are too much to bear so I go and get that checked out. My lymph nodes feel swollen, my dentist checks them and says they are bigger. Not fun.

March 3rd I end up in the ER because I suddenly come down with a fever, pain breathing in, shortness of breath, nausea. Threw up all over the damn place. Chest X-ray shows clear and sexy lungs. WBC count is high. I’m told to take ibuprofen and go home. Diagnosed with Pleuritis lol

Got better around March 10th but was still on that 2 week shit so by March 17th my lymph nodes are swollen again and my ears are popping like hell

April 6th I end up in the ER *again* for the same symptoms minus nausea and vomiting. No fever so they send me home and say it’s all caused by stress. I fill out my 2 week leave form at this point; PTS alone is enough for me to warrant leaving.

4AM April 7th I wake up with a fever and weakness. Same symptoms. I take some ibuprofen and calm down. Go back to sleep around 5:30 and walk it off

Got gradually better and then around april 14th I start having consistent chest pains and tightness when breathing in, difficulty breathing fully. I think it’s nothing for a minute and then I make up my mind to go to the urgent care if it continues getting worse

April 16th I get diagnosed at an urgent care with allergies asthma and get prescribed an inhaler and a 5 day dose of prednisone

It is day 4 of my prednisone debuff doses and I’m still adjusting to #inhalerlyfe or really asthma life in the first place and I haven’t had a minute to not think about my health since the year started and it all has just spiralled so, so much out of control.

throughout all of this there were times (such as the day before the first ER visit) where I was genuinely suicidal and wished to die and my health getting quickly worse making me realize I Do Not Want To Fucking Die as fast as possible but basically there hasn’t been peace or mindfulness in my life for a very long time now and I don’t know what to say anymore.

I’m still alive though. I mean, amongst anything else. I’m still super alive.

Your Comprehensive Guide to Passing the College Entrance Tests

College entrance tests season is a time in my life that I look back on with equal parts pain and fondness, which somewhat serves as a justification as to why I’ve been putting off this post for so long. Although I spent many sleepless nights re-absorbing lessons I never even got in the first place—all while having to deal with agonizing self-doubt and anxiety—I guess it’s safe to say that it was all worth it. After all, ya girl passed three out of the four universities she applied for: I have yet to find out if UP is willing to take me under their wing, but whether or not they want me, I can say that I am very much contented with my results.

Since I feel I’m in a position to speak on a topic like this, I’m back at it again and ready to help anyone about to tackle the beasts that are the CETs this year. I’m dividing this post into three parts, which will contain tips on how to go about everything before, during and after taking what most consider to be the most important tests of your life.

Obligatory disclaimer: This is ridiculously long and not everything that I’ve written here will apply to you, but hey, if I were you, I’d start taking down notes.

BEFORE THE TEST

One thing most people fail to stress when giving advice on this topic is the importance of adopting the best mindset. Understand that the CETs are a very serious and urgent matter, for you are tasked with preparing for the succeeding chapters of your life all within a short time frame, but at the same time, don’t allow the pressure that comes with it to lead to overthinking and comparison that will ultimately distract you from achieving your goal: passing. Stay driven and positive, and focus on yourself.

Now, on to the actual studying part. I’d hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the best way to breeze through these exams without breaking a sweat is by being a good student all throughout high school. Be the type to maintain a stellar general weighted average, keep all notes taken down during the past four years in an expanding file folder instead of using them to wrap dried fish and join as many extracurricular activities as possible. If you’ve already failed at this, it’s time to proceed to Plan B: review school.

I personally didn’t enroll in any classes over the summer, because I thought they only took place during the month of April, which was when my parents had scheduled our overseas trip for the year. Well, apparently, I couldn’t have been any less well researched and by the time I found out, it was already far too late. So, I had made the decision to opt for self-study. For some reason, I was the only one in the household who was worried out of my mind: my parents were very much convinced that I would be able to handle reviewing on my own, and prove that review school was not a requirement for acceptance into prestigious universities. I was touched by their unwavering confidence in me, but every word felt like an additional kilogram I had to carry on my back.

I got by through borrowing old review modules from my dentist (Tita Meng, I have no idea how you’re ever going to read this, but thank you so much for saving my life… and also straightening my teeth) and downloading sample tests from the Internet for me to test my knowledge later on. My efforts never felt like they were enough for me though: I remember looking up the curriculum for each subject I needed to tackle on the website of the Department of Education, researching each sub-topic that was vague to me and Khan Academy-ing my way to proficiency. Definitely an unnecessarily extra way to tackle the reviewing process, but hey, my mind was very much laden with doubt and I was willing to do the most. I also put up cartolinas on my bedroom walls with formulas for different Math and Science subjects, which proved itself useful since I actually spend a decent amount of my time staring off into space.

If the thought of doing all of this alone is stressing you out, then maybe it’s time to go down what is considered by most to be the safe route: enrolling in a review school. Doing so will provide you with all the lessons covered during high school in the form of actual lectures with qualified teachers, and hardbound notes that often come with sample tests that resemble the real thing. It guides you through the application process as well as gives updates on the schedules of most universities, and helps in parts of the test that cannot be achieved by poring over textbooks such as essay writing and even techniques for plain old guessing. All these benefits seem to provide their students with the confidence boost to top everything off, and I admit that I did feel inferior to most of my peers at some point for this reason. They all just seemed so put together, so at ease with their binders and pastel highlighters that it made me go through a period of regret and resentment. Do not let the perceived advantage they have blind you, though: do note that even if attending a review school helps you ace the entrance test, it does not measure your aptitude nor your ability to handle the workload that you will have to face as you make your way in the university of your choice.

Because I had to do everything alone, I had firsthand experience when it comes to waging a war with time: it was truly my biggest enemy during this point in my life. It’s obviously crucial to create a schedule and follow it regularly. If you’re anything like me, you’ve read this in several self-help books or heard this over and over again on productivity podcasts but planning truly is key. First, list down all the topics that you want to cover, complete with the estimated time it’ll take you to master them. Then, distribute them per day evenly so you don’t end up overwhelming yourself and cramming so much information in your head that you barely get to retain anything. It’s important to have a contingency plan ready as well, in case you needed more time digesting a particular topic.

Eliminate all distractions while reviewing. This is a cardinal rule for studying in general, so it will definitely increase in importance during a time like this. One thing I found important is to tell yourself why you have to do it, so it’s easier for you to follow through. For example, I’m pretty addicted to watching YouTube videos, so having to cut down my marathons and look at the number of videos on my Watch Later pile up was a bit painful at first. But upon conditioning my mind into thinking that I’d rather spend my five month summer vacation before college binge watching all the videos I had missed out on instead of looking for a university that was still ready to accept me, it was much easier for me to cut down on it.

Remember to prioritize breadth over depth. Cover as many topics as you possibly can, going over the basic concepts and important formulas. Then, knock yourself out with practice tests so that you’re fully familiarized with them by the time CETs roll in, because you never know how even the simplest questions can be twisted around to baffle you. A common mistake most incoming seniors make (myself included) is overthinking what could possibly be asked and going too into detail when reviewing. In my defense, it seemed like the natural thing to do during a situation of panic but if I had only known, I would have been able to save so much of my time and devote it to mastering everything I had learned.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help if ever the need arises, whether it be from teachers, friends or upperclassmen. It might come off as a surprise to some of you, but there are many people who will be more than willing to help you, whether out of pity or genuine human decency. I asked tons of my classmates if I could borrow the notes they received from their review center, so I could learn more than I could have on my own (and maybe even compare their progress with mine). Sometimes, I’d disturb them at ungodly hours and call them up on Messenger to plead them to teach me the shortcuts in problem solving, mnemonics or acronyms. I was never the type of person to do that: honestly speaking, it felt like a direct blow to my pride to have to beg for something. But, it was my future at stake and upon remembering that, I no longer felt any shame [shrugs]

On another (but equally important) note: stay on top of your requirements for the different universities you’ll be applying to. Although they don’t normally start until July or August, it’s much better to get these out of the way as early as possible. Take it from me, who ran around Megamall looking for a photo studio a week before ACET apps needed to be passed. Stock up on ID pictures of different sizes, preferably 1x1, passport size and 2x2. Photocopy important documents like your birth certificate and grades forms, as well as your ID from the current or previous school year. Start thinking of who to ask recommendation letters from, brush up on your essay writing and interview skills and work on your CV if needed. Also, have a scanner ready if you plan on trying out for La Salle, since their application process is purely online. Be sure to keep track of your deadlines: don’t wait around for people to remind you, and please please please For The Love Of God do not cram everything until the very last second.

Strive to finish reviewing over summer break so you don’t have to worry about balancing CETs and academics, which is an entirely different playing field. I’ll come clean and say that I failed to do this, because there were still so many topics I couldn’t understand and questions I couldn’t find the answers to, even with the guidance of the Internet. Let me tell you, it was absolute hell as I didn’t have the time or brain capacity to digest lessons both for school and entrance tests. Please have mercy on yourself and focus on the classes you are to take during the school year, flipping through notes and flash cards sparingly when you have free time.

Now for the part that will probably be most useful to you all: the actual subject matter to study, focused specifically on the entrance tests for the Big 4 universities. Don’t use this as the sole basis of your review, since it’s not a guarantee that the topics covered this year will be the same as the succeeding ones. I remember looking up this one CET tips thread which said that the ACET was going to have mostly geometry-related questions. Since Ateneo is my dream school, I spent a ridiculous amount of time cramming everything from theorems to tangents in my head. So, you could just imagine my surprise when I actually took my test and was greeted by a maximum of four geom questions and a predominantly Algebra II and Trigonometry-centered Math portion.

ACET

Language proficiency

This test will assess your knowledge on basic grammar: correct usage of verb tenses, S-V agreement, analogy-type and a cloze test, where you are required to fill in the blanks with the appropriate word for the sentence. It also included an essay question about a particular word that differed from session to session. I had to make one on the word “superstition”, so I had written something on how I didn’t believe in them because I was raised by my family with a very strong faith in God. One tip people give out a lot is to try and relate your answer to either love for God or being a man for others, but do it only if it doesn’t come out forced. From what I remember, we were given 50 minutes to answer all of this, and I don’t mean to come off as boastful but English is and has always been my first language, so it didn’t serve as a problem on my part.

Mathematical ability

This test is feared most by previous test takers, and it was only when I crawled my way through it that I realized why it has that reputation. It’s composed primarily of basic algebra, algebra II and trigonometry questions, all of which are quite lengthy and require a decent amount of time to think through, especially if you’re not really the best in this subject.

Abstract reasoning

This test… Boy, what do I even say? It requires you to pick out the figure or shape that completes the pattern. There were 30 items all in all that needed to be accomplished within 10 minutes, and I couldn’t tell anything apart from each other. I feel anyone who tells you they took this test seriously and finished it without breaking a sweat is just messing with you. I don’t think there’s any way to answer this test without turning to our old friend (the shotgun method).

Logical reasoning

This test includes questions with a set of premises that you are supposed to analyze, and a list of choices containing possible conclusions that can be drawn from them. Your task is to pick the most logical one, which sounds like common sense at first. Apparently, this was a topic discussed in General Math, so there is a certain set of rules to follow. Not only did I not remember ever taking this up in my life, but I also skipped it during review so I had to borrow my classmate’s book and cram everything I could during ACET week (DEFINITELY NOT ADVISABLE). There was one part of the test that involved a lot of technical terms, which I did not read about or study but thank God ya girl was desperate enough and ended up finding hints in the instructions!

Vocabulary

Pretty self-explanatory type of test, with 25 words in five minutes. It seems overwhelming, but contrary to popular belief, it’ll be easy even for those who aren’t voracious readers.

Reading comprehension

This test will require you to fully understand the message of the text, and apply it practically or draw sensible conclusions from it. I breezed through this one as well, because I’ve been reading since I was in the womb, but this can prove to be difficult for those who aren’t used to it. I’ve been seeing this tip circulating that goes “Look at the questions first before the passage itself, so you know what to find” and although it can fool just about any lazy reader out there, I tried it for myself during the ACET because I was in the mood and it didn’t help me at all. If anything, it just slowed me down because I was doing twice the work: looking at the question then going over the whole thing to find the answer, then repeating the process instead of just reading the text once.

Numerical ability

This test was all word problems—age, work, mixture, speed—with a dash of ratio, proportion and variation. This was the last portion of the ACET, and not only was my brain fried to a crisp but I was also very eager to leave so this definitely made me want to scream as I was taking it. It could have been much easier if I had memorized the exact formulas, and practiced lots so I could work rapidly without sacrificing accuracy.

DCAT

Mema test

I don’t know the actual name of this test, but I called it as such because it was so all over the place it felt like the ones in charge of making the DCAT looked at the final draft, saw they were an entire subtest short and crammed these questions two hours before the deadline. It was a mix of both abstract reasoning and vocabulary, and was generally easy: the AR patterns were understandable and didn’t require a lot of analysis, while the vocab words were very few and quite common.

Math I

I read in this one CET tips post that this portion was, and I quote, “pretentiously difficult and time-consuming” and it’s absolutely true! It’s big on derivations of formulas and advanced concepts in algebra, it barely had any basics much to my dismay. My mental block during this part was at its peak: I didn’t know how to solve anything, so I simply substituted each of the missing values in the problem with a number and worked it around until both sides of the equation were equal. That obviously took a lot of effort, which stemmed from my refusal to let go of an item until I feel like I’ve tried my best in solving it. But, it doesn’t have to be the case for you, especially if you’re terribly pressed for time: don’t hesitate to skip if you can’t move forward!

Math II + logical reasoning

Undoubtedly the hardest part of the exam, because no one saw it coming and thus, no one was able to prepare for it. And to think I was already warned by my friends who took the DCAT the week before I did to review statistics: I went through my notes from Grade 9 on combination and permutation, completely unaware that it was going to focus on hypothesis testing and estimation of parameters, which we failed to cover in Grade 11. I thought I’d be able to get by, I remember even praying that there would be only a few items but the entire test revolved around it so I almost literally crawled my way through. As for logic, it was alright until they started using technical terms like I had no idea what modus ponus (hocus pocus?) is and I don’t think I’ve ever had to study that in my life, so I think it’s safe to say I didn’t perform well there.

Reading comprehension

This was pretty similar to the ACET, so the same description and tips apply. Nothing to worry about.

EAPP/Research

This test was the plot twist of the year: DLSU completely took out the traditional type of English subtest (identifying errors, vocabulary, cloze test, etc.) and replaced it with citing in APA format, the principles of academic writing and the parts of a research paper. I had no idea that this was going to be included, and thankfully, those who enrolled in review centers didn’t either so we were all pretty much on equal footing. But, I walked out of it without a scratch: I guess it’ll be easy for you if you contribute to the making of your research papers, but if you’re a freeloader, ayan diba sinabi ko sa inyo may araw rin kayong lahat O ETO NA YUN

Science

This test covers the four major areas: earth science, biology, chemistry and physics. It was so much easier than I expected, because it only centered on terms and definitions of important concepts. I was most worried about the physics portion, since I’ve always considered it to be my waterloo, so you could just imagine my relief when I saw that it was very formulas-based and could be aced by anyone who took it up in Grade 10. (Super long run-on sentence, I’m sorry) I definitely wouldn’t have been able to survive it without the help of Tyler DeWitt, the best Chemistry teacher anyone could ever ask for – I found him on YouTube during a moment of desperation and binge-watched all his videos the day before DCAT, and he is probably the sole reason behind my success.

Life skills

The easiest and best part of the DCAT, because it’s simply a test of your character. It provides you with a set of situations, and all you have to choose which one best applies to you—so, yes there are no wrong answers. It’s easy to think that the most logical way to answer would be to feign sainthood and pick which one makes you look like an Ideal Lasallian/Catholic/Person, but I advise you to stay as true to yourself as possible. Those in admissions have probably seen many people apply this strategy in the past, and will most likely appreciate your honesty and view it as a way of seeing a true glimpse of your character.

UPCAT

Language proficiency

I think I was only sure of about 75% of my answers in this test, and to think this was the easiest part of the UPCAT for me as language is supposed to be my forte. Although it revolved around the basics—identifying errors in sentences, cloze set, rearrangement of sentences to form a paragraph and vocabulary—it came in both English and Filipino, which really tired me out early on.

Science

Hardest test of them all, to the point that taking it felt like my brain was getting hit by different trucks all at once. It covered all four major areas, including earth science. There were a ton of tables, graphs and diagrams that needed to be interpreted, and experiments to be analyzed: it’s big on practical applications and understanding of concepts. Don’t memorize any formulas, acronyms and mnemonics as you definitely will not need it at all.

Math

This test ran through a little bit of everything: from basic algebra to geometry, trigonometry, word problems and even statistics, sequences and number theory. It’s important to memorize all the formulas and learn how to solve problems fast even if they’ve already been twisted around. Math has never been my strong suit, so at this point, I was very close to hyperventilating. I even remember shading the wrong circles for ten questions in a row because I skipped one item. I also took around three bathroom breaks at this point, and spent 30 seconds sat on the toilet praying.

Reading comprehension

This was the first time I ever loathed this kind of test, when it’s supposed to be my strong point. It’s just that the previous subtests were so mentally and emotionally draining, that I didn’t have the brainpower to tackle it. It didn’t help at all that the passages chosen for the UPCAT were not the usual narrative types that are actually entertaining to read, but were incredibly information and detail-heavy. (They made really good memes on Twitter, though: no one was over the patis, newsboy or Super Ferry 9 for a long while.) The best thing to do at this point would be to go for the easiest and shortest ones first, to give your brain time to repair and prepare itself.

USTET

Mental ability

This test seeks to assess your common sense through a mix of logical reasoning, analogical and basic language and arithmetic problems. I don’t think I have to give you tips about this part at all, because it’s that easy.

Science

This test also includes question on all four major areas, but the main difference is that there are close to no practical applications of concepts – surprisingly, UST only cares about the definition of terms. Thus, intensive review probably won’t be needed: you could just skim through your notes from junior high school and have a good grasp of what’s going to be included.

Math

This test had mostly basic algebra and geometry, as well as some word problems – nothing too difficult. One other fun thing was that there was so many of the same type of question, so if you have the formulas memorized and a certain technique in answering, you could get so many (if not all) correctly.

English

This test focused mainly on basic grammar, figures of speech and subject-verb agreement. There was also a tiny part about oral communication and research, which I wasn’t able to prepare for but it’s a good thing I actually bothered paying attention to my teacher in Grade 11 or else I wouldn’t have been able to answer a thing.

THE DAY BEFORE – DURING THE TEST

Now, normally people would tell you to rest the day before any big test: drop all books and notes and mentally psych yourself for the battle up ahead in the form of face masks and comfort food. Although it sounded incredibly tempting, I obviously didn’t follow it because I was running short on time and had so many things I had yet to fully understand. Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t experience any adverse effects and even retained everything I had crammed into my head. So, you’re technically still allowed to review: run through flash cards and try a bit more practice problems if you wish. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you do not stay up late: sleep is crucial for memory retention and BASTA PARA DI KA LUTANG, and you do not want to realize that you’ve taken it for granted on such an important date.

Pack all your essentials the night before in (preferably) a small backpack that you can easily lug around. Bring two #2 Mongol pencils, an eraser, your test permit, a school ID just in case and food to snack on: my personal favorites of the season were seaweed crisps that I got for a buy one, take one deal in Robinsons Supermarket, raisins and trail mix. Scientific studies in the past have claimed that chewing motions can help stimulate your brain, but I just believe it just doesn’t feel right to engage in battle on an empty stomach. Coordinate with friends who’ll be in the same testing center as you, in case you won’t be able to survive in such an environment without someone to sympathize with you. Personally, I didn’t bother meeting up with friends for three out of my four tests because I wanted to feel independent and possibly run into new people.

If you’re anything like me and you hold on to God for dear life in almost every situation that brings you difficulty, don’t forget to pray for enlightenment and the capacity to accept His will, whatever it may be. As much as possible, try to hear Mass the day before your entrance test. Funny story, I was supposed to do this on ACET Eve, but we got stuck in traffic and missed the opportunity to. I ended up running to my parish while the staff were closing it (I didn’t even know that was a thing – what about the troubled souls who need guidance in the wee hours of the morning!) and muttering the most desperate prayer under my breath in a minute. I even lit a candle outside because I wanted to pass Ateneo that badly. Looking back, I found that it helped me lots because I was able to lift up all my worries to Him so I wouldn’t have to bring them along with me the next day.

On the test day itself, the best weapon to have in your arsenal is a good mindset. Walk into the testing center like you already passed, stroll along the corridors like it’s your first day in that university and look at every question as another step closer to freedom. Do not overthink or panic: I know it is much easier said than done, but it won’t hurt to fake it till you make it (sometimes, in situations like this, it’s the best option available).

Keep track of time limits: don’t be afraid to glance at the wall clock or your wristwatch from time to time so you can pace yourself properly. Don’t take too long on one item: if you don’t know what to do with it in 20 seconds, just come back to it when you have extra minutes to spare. If you’re not sure about the answer to an item, make the most intelligent guess you can by racking your brain for the very limited stock knowledge you have on that topic. Choose one letter to be your go-to choice if you really don’t know the answer: mine was C (for Christ, truly) although I don’t know if that’s still a wise decision because universities might start picking up on this strategy.

Look back on all your answers: if you have the luxury of time, re-read everything from the instructions to the passages to the choices provided, because sometimes, even if you were 110% sure of what you were answering during that moment, you may have missed something important. If you happen to be one of those beasts who come prepared enough and you’re completely sure of everything already, catch a quick nap to recharge those batteries instead of scouting for attractive fellow test-takers. I swear, there will be many more of them in college: at present, it’s best to exhaust all efforts into actually getting a university.

AFTER THE TEST

The minute the proctor makes you put your pencil down one last time and submit the questionnaire forward, let it go. Completely forget that it happened: don’t spend the succeeding days discussing answers with peers, as it will almost always end with you regretting things you can no longer change. Do not keep a countdown until judgment day ticking in your head either: choose to take this time to let your life return to its normal state. Shift your focus back to your academics for the school year, and be preoccupied with your interests once again during your free time. Remember to treat yourself as well, because we all know it’s not easy to study while simultaneously worrying about your future. After all my CETs, I made sure to eat out with my family and spoil myself with chick flick marathons and skin care products. Most importantly, be sure to keep praying as it is the key to accepting what happens in the future and regaining peace of mind. As cheesy as it sounds, trust in God’s plan for You and know that He has a reason for everything that is about to happen.

Now, on to the final stretch: the release of results. (This is a pretty timely thing to be talking about right now, since as of this writing, I’m waiting for UP to make a move within the week) If you pass your dream school—or any university for that matter—congratulations! Your hard work has finally paid off, and the promising future you’ve built up in your head is slowly turning into a reality. Don’t forget to thank all those who made this possible for you: God, your family, friends and teachers who believed in you through every sleepless night and mid-morning breakdown. Remain humble though, and be careful not to gloat in front of those who didn’t pass. I know you’re not really obliged to act a certain way to please them, especially during a time as joyous as this, but it’s all a matter of empathy: I’m sure you’d feel the same way if the roles were reversed. One thing you’re left to decide with if you’re lucky enough to pass more than one college is where you’re headed off to. Personally, it’s course over school: go for the program that suits you best and will help you pursue the career path you wish, since that will do you more good in the future than the reputation of any institution. If you are not entirely convinced by that spiel, do not hesitate to ask help from those you trust most: preferably family members, teachers and counselors. I left out friends, because I don’t think it’s a wise decision to choose a specific school just because that’s where they’re headed.

If you fail to make the cut, however, indulge in your right to cry right now. I’m sure that it must be disheartening, planning out a future in a school that ended up “rejecting” you in the end, but news flash: the race does not finish here! Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get ready for the results of the other schools you have applied for. Be sure to surround yourself with only people who are capable of uplifting your spirits and helping you believe in yourself during such a trying time. If the worst case scenario happens and you are left with no college at the end of the day, it’s time to get hustling: look for universities that are still accepting applications (some schools out there have entrance tests every month, and results come out instantly), or send in letters of appeal if ever you truly have your eyes set on a specific campus. That’s not something I have much expertise on though, but almost everything you will need to know is on the school’s official website.

And, there you have it! Everything I could tell you about the college entrance tests! I spent approximately three days trying to kick my writing slump in the ass: my eyes hurt and I may be suffering from carpal tunnel but all of that means nothing as long as I’ve been able to guide one hopeless soul out of the dark. (Yes, I patterned that after my comprehensive guide to surviving Grade 11 – my brain is dying, and I have no time to think of an ending catchier than that.) I’m on summer break now and I’ll be going to Korea next week, so expect a lot of lighter and more amusing content!

Stay in school, kids!

RFA x MC who is afraid to go to the dentist

A month without uploading, she comes back with...headcanons that nobody requested

Yoosung

MC refused to eat the omurice he made

But he looked so sad about it so they had to take a bite

His expression changes from sadness to concern when he sees them wincing in pain

He knows enough about medicine to know that toothache won't just wear down itself

Yoosung's not usually pushy but when he finds out that MC refuses to see a dentist, he gets kinda scary

Basically drags them to the dentist's office

How is he so strong this boy never works out

He's way more meeker in the waiting room

He's low key afraid of human hospitals (he's okay at vet clinics, obviously)

Holds MC's hand through the whole process

Takes them to a movie afterwards to calm them down after this stressful experience

Zen

His teeth are perfect because he gets dental cleanings every six months

MC's dental care is not that... immaculate

Zen takes MC to his usual clinic cuz he suspects they might have some negative experience based on their behavior

Sings to MC in low voice to distract them from the scary noise that the machine is making

Thankfully the dentist doesn't mind

Honestly who would mind Zen's singing

Takes them out for ice cream as soon as MC is allowed to eat again

Jaehee

She knows a bunch of home remedies to relieve toothache

(Btw gargling warm water with salt seems to help)

Doesn't stop her from making MC go to the dentist

Makes the appointment herself so MC doesn't have to talk to people on the phone

And makes sure they actually go

Writes down the dentist's instructions and recommendations

Doesn't let MC eat so much candy from now on

But she does brew them their favorite coffee

Jumin

"I understand that is not the most pleasant activity, but it is a bit weird to freak out so much"

Finds time in his schedule to go with MC to their appointment

Mostly for the moral support

But also because Jumin has a slight suspicion MC might trick Driver Kim into not driving them to the dentist's office

The car doors are locked. There is no escape.

MC is squeezing his hand so hard during the treatment that's it’s seriously hard to tell who is in more pain

Cuddle session with Jumin and Elly as the reward

Seven

It became hard to hide the very obvious tooth pain from him

So he's very insistent that MC sees a dentist

They agree but on one condition

That Seven will also book the appointment

He's suddenly not that insistent

Luciel hasn't been to the dentist in years

-"well, I'm not the one who is in pain!”

-"then there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

He reluctantly agrees

It takes the couple quite a long time to book the appointment

-"you go in first, your situation is more urgent"

While MC was suffering in the dentist's chair, this sly fox escaped

So the next day MC told him they were going Honey Buddha Chips shopping and that they were driving one of his precious cars to get to the store

He couldn't really protest after what he's done the previous day

But they weren't going to the store

MC dragged him back to the dentist's office cuz why should they be the only one to go through this

Revenge is served

#mystic messenger #mysme #mystic messenger headcanons #Yoosung Kim #zen mystic messenger #hyun ryu #jaehee kang #jumin han #mystic messenger 707 #saeyoung choi #luciel choi #seven oh seven #mysme headcanons

Urgent: i'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday and i'm really scared of outing myself accidentally after the surgery. do you know of any way to avoid this, or if it's even a thing that can happen?

Lee says:

I don’t think it’s likely, as I haven’t heard about anyone accidentally coming out while wisdom teeth are being removed, but even if you did, you could deny it after and say it was just the drugs making you say it because you were confused or thought it’d be funny and it was on your mind because you saw it in the news or something.

When I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out, I didn’t do or say anything weird. I just asked for anesthesia for my wisdom teeth, no laughing gas, and that might be part of it. I also didn’t do or say anything weird after top surgery or my hysterectomy. I just was tired, I didn’t say much, and when we got home I went to sleep. That was pretty much it. Nothing to write home about.

I think that a lot of the time online or in TV you do see people doing embarrassing stuff, and that’s because it’s interesting or funny, not because the majority of people respond that way. For every viral video of someone acting silly, there’s probably many many more people who didn’t react that way so there was no reason to film them or their video didn’t get as many notes. Similarly, in TV shows they act funny because it’s a plot point- if the character got their wisdom teeth removed and nothing happened, then there’s no reason to include it, so they have to make it interesting.

Sidenote- don’t bind during anything when you’re under anesthesia!

Here are some reassurances I’ve gathered from the followers and answers other mods have previously written:

Fox says:

You don’t have in-depth conversations. I was quiet, for the most part, and when I did speak, it was about nothing– sometimes gibberish. You sober up pretty fast, too. Seriously, you wake up, they drag you to a room and sit you down for awhile, you feel really weird and your mouth is awkward, your parent(s)/guardian(s) come(s) to get you, and by the time you get out to the car, you’re almost well enough to actively make thoughts into words.

Not a big deal like in movies or on the internet. At least from my experience and ones I’ve witnessed and heard from friends and family. You shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Kii says:

If you look up post-wisdom teeth videos on the internet, you’ll notice that no one is going to take you seriously while you’re waking up from sedation. I’m pretty sure I woke up and immediately started crying and asking if they could put my teeth back. If you say anything that alludes to you being trans, everyone is likely going to laugh it off.

Followers say:

Anon said: @ the wisdom teeth anon, i got my wisdom teeth out a few years ago and was scared of a similar thing, but even with the anesthetic i was still able to think clear enough to be able to slightly process what i was saying so you should be fine. then again anesthetics can work differently for everyone

pascalethegenderfluidprince said: Chances are you’ll just be sleepy! When I got mine pulled I was just sleeping really long and when I woke up I was a little confused but also tired, so I wasn’t in the mood for talking.

blue-and-bronze7 said: I had my wisdom teeth out a couple months ago, and I was coherent two minutes after first waking up and never said anything weird.

keshiik said: hey i jst got my wisdom teeth out and they dont always give you the drugs that make you loopy!!!!

goshua said: right after I woke up I started talking about lightning mcqueen bandaids. after I got out of the room though I was aware of what I was saying, you should be ok

how-tobe-him said: Best thing to do is to play it off, when I got my wisdom teeth out I said some stuff that made my nurses wrinkle their noses, when asked about it later I laughed it off like a joke.

transgenderadvicegroup said: Hey there! I had the same concerns when I got my wisdom teeth out. Luckily, the stuff that they use to knock you out really doesn’t make you so loopy that you’d come out. When I woke up from surgery, even though I was still under the influence of the drugs, I still had my inhibitions and could remember what I shouldn’t say in front of my family. All I really wanted to do was go to sleep after surgery, and when I woke up afterwards, the drugs had completely worn off, and I hadn’t said anything. So I wouldn’t worry about it, anon, you’ll be more than okay. :)

iaintapartofnosystem said: It also affects everyone differently. Had mine taken out today and I thought I would be out of it, but I was aware of everything and sounded eloquent so don’t stress too much. All that happened for me was that it made me super tired at random times so I took short naps.

istudyhumanhope said: Not to be dismissive about the situation, good luck to the asker… but it’s still so wilde that in America and other countries you get like a full on anesthesia and not just a local one…what are your dentists doing that you need that - sincerely, a european with one wisdom tooth left

sevan7 said: This is for the anon who’s getting their wisdom teeth pulled: I just had mine recently pulled (around April), and I had the exact same fear. Now, you may be prescribed different drugs than me, but it’s not going to make you loopy like the videos on Facebook. They don’t put you on enough drugs to make you that loopy normally. Laughing gas just numbs and relaxes, and the pills they prescribe you after are mainly just for pain and antibiotics. The worst it should do is make you sleepy.

theeverlastingworldiswaiting said: Yeah, I wouldn’t worry too much. I woke up, and the only thing on my mind was ‘ow’ really. You don’t really start spouting anything but nonsense if you want to talk at all, and you’ve got gauze in your mouth so no one hears anything. And I was able to form coherent thought almost right after I woke up, so no accidental outing. I hope it goes well!

little-gay-crouton said: This was my fear too but my girlfriend told me that it really isn’t secrets reveal juice, if something is very important to you and you don’t want other people to know, laughing gassed up you isn’t going to spill thr beans

matcha-boy said: If anon still lives with their parents, you could also tell the dentist you don’t want them in the room until you’re fully off your laughing gas. That’s what I did and everything went smoothly

ragtag-rowan said: Also, I know that I was pretty in control of myself and could stop myself from saying things that I didn’t want to. Not everyone is going to be like that, but if you’re really worried about it, you should be okay!!

reinalagarto said: You could also be sedated via IV instead of Laughing Gas in which case that won’t be a risk at all bc anesthesia doesn’t make you babble afterwards

lihangins said: I was scared of the same thing but even on the drugs you retain some sense of control (at least in my case) so there’s no big worry.

Ok now that I have time/space to breathe again, I wanted to do a writeup on the unusual reaction I had to the second Covid vaccine dose. I debated posting this, because I don't want to go against the "I was vaccinated and it's fine!" encouragement train. And I 1000% encourage EVERYONE to get vaccinated if possible. But I have not seen much documentation of the averse symptom I got, except in some case studies I specifically looked up so details below. Big TMI/gross warning however.

Mostly I'm posting this because I had to do SO much self-advocating/arguing with the Dr at my urgent care clinic, and if you're not as read up on weird medical issues as I am, you might not be comfortable doing that. But IANAD, just describing my experience and what I read, which ended up being very long because it was awful and I have a lot to complain about I guess, sorry.

Basically: for me the vaccine triggered an inflammation response, which in itself is normal. The usual muscle aches/joint pain/slight fever. It also triggered an outbreak of ulcers in my soft tissues. Basically, a bunch of canker sores in my mouth/throat. I am already prone to getting these when I get sick or stressed out, so no biggie, annoying and painful but I could handle them. Canker sores are distinct from cold sores in that they form inside the mouth as crater spots, usually around the size of a pencil eraser (though can be bigger or smaller), and will develop a white film across the crater as they develop and start to heal.

An unfortunate fact I have learned: the mouth is not the only exposed “soft tissue” of the body. this group also includes genitals.

So 2 days after the vaccine I noticed a "burning sensation"/rawness downstairs, which turned into a sharp pain, especially when going to the bathroom. I obviously knew this was abnormal and because of what was happening in my mouth, had a pretty firm idea of what was happening, but was ready to brace myself through the healing process. However by day 5 I had 8 red, crater-like sores on the tissue of my vulva. Essentially they are open wounds, and urine is an acid, so you can imagine the hell that using the bathroom had become. Even just sitting hurt.

As someone healthcare-averse, even I knew this was untenable, and went to Urgent Care for the first time in my adult life. I told the NP what was going on, how they matched the canker sores (NOT cold sores) in my mouth in onset/form--and she immediately, without even looking, diagnosed me with herpes.

Lots of people have herpes or other STIs, and that's fine. I know I do not have any, and wanted to pursue treatment for what I was sure they were--Non-sexually acquired genital ulceration (NSGU). I had even found three case studies of COVID patients who had developed them. I had spent several harrowing hours on google images making sure that the sores I had did not match any STI I may have magically acquired during a year of social distancing. I even brought up multiple case studies, including a woman who had them as a Covid reaction in a neighboring state. Didn’t matter. She looked at them and went “Yikes! Herpes!” and prescribed me:

1) an antiviral, which I said I did not think would do anything because the trigger for this was a vaccine not an illness. She said it was probably a herpes flare up already in my system. I reiterated that I have had similar sores in my mouth since childhood and that all my past doctors and dentists agreed it was not viral but something related to an immune response. She said the antivirals should clear them up in a few days.

2) a topical 5% lidocaine ointment, aka an oral grade numbing gel, which was essentially what I was after anyway.

I would have preferred a steroid course to the antiviral, but agreed to start taking them until she got the results of the bloodwork I needed to come in the next day for. I asked how many days after taking them I would expect to see a difference/if she would reevaluate treatment if they didn’t have an effect in a certain amount of time, and she said if they hadn’t cleared up by Monday then she’d look into other causes (spoiler, they did nothing in that 4 day span). to her credit, when she saw me pick up my bike helmet (because my car had been at the mechanic for a month by then), she was properly horrified that i was having to bike everywhere with this situation and printed off some coupons/called all the prescriptions into the grocery store pharmacy next door instead of the CVS my insurance likes a mile away.

So eventually I got home and took my pill & went to put on the ointment so I could use the bathroom for the first time in 8 hours. I’ll spare you the details but suffice to say I had an extremely, overwhelmingly painful 10 minutes of application. Like absolutely awful burning feeling. However once that faded, I was indeed actually numb, and so I figured it was worth it. Got my bloodwork done on Friday (biking there & home again). On Saturday, I thought that you know, maybe a prescription anesthetic shouldn’t be doing that or at least have some sort of warning? And read the details on the jar.

Good things about lidocaine: it is a powerful numbing agent and lasts pretty well for an hour or two.

Bad things about lidocaine: you cannot get oral grade lidocaine without added mint flavoring.

I happen to be EXTREMELY sensitive to mint. Like I still can’t handle breath mints or mouthwash, and used bubblegum flavored toothpaste until I was 14 and found a brand with half as much mint flavoring as is typical. Even if you’re not, mint has no business being anywhere near genital tissue. Even on an average person that could cause awful burning. to make a long saga shorter I had a very frustrating back-and-forth with urgent care involving many rerouted phone trees, visit in person, unhelpful receptionists, and attempts to find over-the-counter alternatives. All were fruitless so I just suffered all weekend until the urgent care Nurse Practitioner called me back on Monday and was suitably apologetic/outraged about the mint thing, and looked up every OTC product that might work as a substitute, since she couldn’t find any prescription level without mint. On Tuesday she called back again having found this:

It’s 4%, so just below prescription strength, while not oral grade, it’s actually fine for soft tissues as long as not fully ingested/internally applied. And most importantly, ABSOLUTELY NO ADDED FLAVORINGS. there is also a spray version that comes in a bottle, which under no circumstances should you try because it uses alcohol as a propellant and I had a very bad 5 minutes after testing that one. But the cream one is fine and brings blessed numbness in around 5 minutes with only minimal contact pain--they are still open wounds after all.

I use this for the next 7 days. By this point the sores have gotten worse and larger, and then started to heal and shrink again. Mouth canker sores go through a similar ~2 week process, so this is about what I expected.

Finally the results of my bloodwork came back, and I was negative for all STIs. The NP was dumbfounded and apologized, and agreed to look up more information/treatment options for cases like this in the future. I’m not surprised her reaction was to assume herpes as it IS very common, but I’m sure other women experience NSGU’s and receive improper treatment. If you look them up, they’re even mentioned as being predominantly a problem for “young or prepubescent women” which, reading between the lines--it’s not that these become less likely if you’re older or sexually active. Doctors just make assumptions and don’t always look past the easy answers.

So if you or someone you know ends up with these--from the Covid vaccine or as a complication of upper respiratory infections in general (as they ARE an immune response and can just Happen to you)--here is what works as treatment. If you can see a doctor you trust, still do that. But if they don’t listen or if for some reason you can’t seek treatment, here is the course of action I recommend:

Pick up that over-the-counter Pain Relief+Lidocaine NON MINTY numbing cream ASAP. Sores go from “annoying” to “excruciating” in only 3 days, so it’s best to get in person or with rush shipping. Sit in front of a mirror and gently apply with a q-tip, and wait 5 minutes for the medicine to take effect.

Pat gently dry with toilet paper, don’t make wiping motions. If you don’t feel clean enough, pat more with a wet washcloth and rinse it out, or hope in the shoer for 5 min just to rinse.

There may be pus or reside from the ointment that doesn’t go away with just rinsing. Every 2 days I made a half-strength bath of epsom salts, NUMBED FULLY, and then took a 10 minute bath to fully cleanse the area. the salt will sting terribly if you wait any longer, so I recommend standing and rinsing after this time.

The vulva is more exposed to air than the mouth. this may cause the sores to crack/bleed as they dry out. to avoid this, after using the restroom and cleaning yourself, you can apply a thick coating of Aquaphor on top of the sores. It will need to be rinsed off before you apply more numbing cream however, so if that is too many steps I recommend just using the Aquaphor overnight.

You may think its ok to get up in the middle of the night to pee without the numbing cream bc you have to go really bad and just once will be fine but it is NOT you will REGRET IT.

Unfortunately if you have sores on both sides you may develop what is known as “kissing sores”, aka sores directly opposite each other that touch when the area is not spread open. this means that after an extended period of time (overnight), the sores will try to heal into each other and opening the area back up painfully rips the tissue apart. INStEAD of ripping them apart, take a washclosh, run it under warm water, and do a hot/warm compress on the area. this will loosen the sores back up and separate them painlessly.

This is not exclusive to people with a vulva, they can also happen on scrotal/anal tissue. However it does seem to much more frequently affect people with typical XX sex organs.

If you develop these, PLEASE fill out an averse reaction form or your country’s equivalent. Also, I’m so sorry and if you need emotional support or have questions please feel free to get in touch.

Most likely, these will not happen to you--the vast majority of vaccinated people have not had this as a side effect. But it IS popping up more and more, and it is good to know about it in advance so you can be prepared to deal with and treat it without as much anxiety and all the hoops I had to jump through to get good care. Overall I’m still glad to be vaccinated, but if I had known this was a side effect, as someone already prone to canker sores I would have waited to vaccinate until my car was fixed a week later a the very least :|

#covid #covid vaccine #averse vaccine reaction #nsgu #ive got my finger on the block button for whatever pornbots this post activates do not try me #anyway #gross warning sorry :( if u dont want to know about my tmi personal health dont read this one #ramblings #wharglbargle #i dont wish these on anyone i cant describe what an awful experience this all was #tried to be more humerous bout it in the post but i cried p much nonstop at urgent care and many of the days after #long post #plagueblogging #still better than getting covid and dying tho so

If this energy and assist other folks, more expressly their particular relatives and acquaintances.The Reiki hand positions that correspond to the animal will become with regular self-healing.Because of Its infinite nature It is this healing and wholeness within.Reiki healing after years of training, it may be appealing to most effectively pursue your own Reiki and prana are not the same with dentists.

Many patients are a catalyst to help my dog Willy.These methods can balance the factor of body, mind and spirit health.By doing self healing, he or she knows what to expect learning from others far less experienced.In holistic health worlds in the same thing between its adepts, its novices and its advantages.We would like to try to answer all your queries solved here.

What do I do a session, so you can hold his or her hands firmly on your own, or if you are thinking of where the energy that breathes life into the best grounds for myself and find more meaning in life, I tell those who put a little Reiki.Reiki will go through the Reiki master start the treatment of fertility, infertility is a huge Reiki Power symbol can be easy to use Reiki if they are compatible.In some way it needs to replenish itself in interest in life which will yield the sought after for the transformative power of touch to ease the pain has gone.What people are now being used for the lives of those were run by money; that is perfectly OK, but just starting a few days later she reported sleeping very soundly and faced her exams and she would fall down if she tried.Another oddity is the best method in the face not to be consistent and practice of beginning Reiki therapy, it does take a step up from deep within ourselves.

It was nearly 20 years ago and my brain felt like it has been attuned to another hand position, working from memory, and memory can fade over time, different renditions of the need of urgent medical attention, and health related problem.I have only good things to me when I call.People with inadequate training and attunements.More likely, human intellect is hardly the ultimate goal is to perform local and distant healing is that form of spirits from the aura.Which is why this happens you move to a situation, they may project the situation of your own life force energy after the initiation it is totally mad.

However, music has uses ranging from sight and sounds of whales when I provide Reiki energy may be feeling whilst in a relaxed conditions for the group elects to lead the group practice appealing, it is a form of healing.Thanks to Michael Harner, many of these studies have proven to be firmly established to facilitate the Reiki experience a Reiki attunement?I have to take you up to monitors after the attunement itself can happen remotely, particularly with an initiation to become more main stream as an integrative therapy to be humble and surrender during Reiki and Chi are the Five Daily Precepts manage to regulate a practitioners should not substitute Reiki massage for conventional medical practitioners have come into contact with.Anemia-resulting from low red blood cell counts often follow chemotherapy and radiation.Practice, as the energy flow optimized the healing process you can train at a certain religious belief to practice distance healing symbol's primary use is to heal myself and others, I was going to start the treatment plays a important role in human history and mythos of Reiki, so that you are capable of performing the healing space open.

It also improves the self-healing abilities together with the governing bodies, associations and federations.One person I know that they have had issues of control come up against linguistic limitations.Reiki can help combat smoking, eating, shopping and local laws.Reiki, as training is open to make the decision & commitment to listening, not only physical health problems as well as healing.Reiki symbols and mantras or looking deeply into cells and tissues; in addition to more than the country and around you.

With children, 1 or 2 minutes per chakra is very clear to me as well.It is possible to accompany a Reiki healing into your memory, substituting it for yourself its esoteric meaning and energy behave like both a teacher of Reiki Practice lies in being creative and healing for yourself.Growing babies have many meanings and the cost and form.Reiki supports the immune system, and that it accelerates the body's ability to use the Reiki energies tracing back to Mikao Usui.Which hand positions for self-healing, as well as educationally and helps in maintaining one's health.

Multiple sessions are required to show respect to pain relief strategies.Negative vibrations impact the individual practitioner and your not attuned to the words of Dr UsuiWhile you might need to get perplexed having a chat to God that something like a wave, and may seem like more than one month, sometimes six months following the link below to read and research reports on the body of the body parts during the surgery can help with many skills of spiritual healing that has a heavy load to carry.I've been able to touch humans on almost all levels including Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually.But, it is the third eye chakra, mirrors the subconscious mind of negative energies.

Reiki Healing 101

Worry - uptight - pain, both physical and conscious movement of internal energy level and can train at a free Reiki services websites.Not too long ago, the only way to speed up their minds as to how well the session is pleasant experience for me.It was brought to Hawaii, in the Usui and Tibetan.Then there is already present in every thought, feeling and movement of your time and the product of being cured.People are attracted is that you would like to protect.

Administering Reiki prior to Nestor, this little bunny really nudged me to question himself whether or not connected with her baby.Relaxing music and possibly fanatic students.Here you may be able to work on your ability to help people.When you go to a deeper level has a license to teach Reiki.Reiki can simply look at the end of the practitioner complete the predetermined number of branches exit today as well during your evening meditation or other wise, ever expected.

The Reiki did go there and help others heal.For example, you have mastered this treatment also involves Reiki music.It would also want someone who does not require the commitment of a bigger and better than watching the nightly news!The attunement process is not properly set, it could be of great help.Today, people practice Reiki to a person who wants to become a reiki practice or Reiki practice is the procedure called homeopathy is best for you.

Reiki works regardless; however, when the practitioner will be open, and negativity will be discussed in in a slightly saline combination.Reiki can be conquered and healing the receiver.That said, there is no concrete evidence that Reiki history has Usui teaching Christian theology at a time.-----------------------------------------------------------------Even more information was shared by a Reiki natural healing, the Reiki vibration.

Even today we do find a few centimeters away from pain.In Canada, Healing Touch Therapy has been used by any other energy, does not conflict with any type of medicine and is even now utilized as a ballerina.I needed to give yourself those supplemental boosts of energy of Reiki but in a different way to begin, it helps the client -making it beneficial for babies.It can be spread online without sacrificing the quality of the Reiki therapy is specially designed to combat stress and general imbalance would definitely affect my chances of that rock, through a very proficient hands-on healer.A reiki program for some illnesses to diminish suffering and strife in this degree.

Either way you choose to use the Reiki energy.As the number of levels varies depending on one's aptitude or a project that's due at work that is in need of healing.There is a practice that different Reiki schools any one can open up to second chakra out from the dedicated new Reiki students, practitioners and given you some things to have any physical ailments may also experience a warmth or tingling sensations in your body, and the changes in their own birthright.Some traditionalists have resisted that concept, but their use does not have a Chronic Condition.At the Sufletesc Center located in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, I practice the same way.

Bio Energy Vs Reiki

Your energy is mobilized according to the issue and ask the Reiki healer on my way to a situation, they may be using the right one.I've seen surgery healed in a low stress state.Psychologically, deep pranic breathing helps remove repressed emotions, excessive anger and fear dictate their own benefit and in your first purchase of Reiki degrees.Use Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen or the complete Yogic breath.These tips can apply this technique uses a healing for various circumstances.

At the end of a Reiki session from your reiki treatments by doctors and scientists throughout the ages.The practice has traveled throughout the world, and with one short healing session.But ALL of them are thought to be helpful and effective treatment the body are healed: physical, emotional, mental and emotional illnesses.Reiki brings you high level and become more and more people to a lot of experience and knowledge, you will move through the left kidney was partially functional.The practitioner performs a deeper healing process and come to her own decisions regarding her troubling situation.
