Quasimodo- 2013 1st post! :)

Sigh

Noticed i started the previous with a SHOOT ME instruction for blogging after so long.
Yet now, its the 2nd time around and using that phrase to start it off seems awkward..

I know im supposed to be asleep but found myself with racing thoughts. In the midst of on calls and hospital teachings and what not. And then in the morning I find myself scaring myself off with the progressive darkening magic circles around my eyes and at night i keep waking up thinking of events that took place during the day.. pathetic aint it?

was reading back my old posts from the old blog http://theunwrittenindeh.blogspot.com/ which i ever so dearly miss so much


I wish I could shut my mind from speaking to me when I'm about to sleep.
I wish I could go to Egypt someday(especially after today's Dr Ihab farewell presentation)
I wish it would rain more in SP but only when im indoors
I wish I was like Sheldon Cooper minus awkward social skills
I wish home was not so far away so I can always see my mom when I want to
I wish I spent more time learning to play a proper musical instrument
 I wish I continued blogging and not left in the first place...*

 lol yea the last one was probably the one thing I had throughout the other wishes. It got kinda complicated when people began to associate themselves with whatever I wrote. So much that things got escalated and fell out of hands. Garhh its sad aint it? when we have to be so careful of the things we say just in case we get misunderstood somewhere in between..


but i guess its about time i start again before the monologue i have daily gets the better half of me 

So here goes..


Remember this guy?



QUASIMODO from the Hunchback of Notre-Dame :)

Its actually a novel published in 1831 and there was a cartoon made based on it. was definitely one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE DISNEY CHARACTER!
if you havent watched it try googling it - its basically about this deformed hunchback who is the bell ringer of this place Notre Dame. Its a sad depressing beginning as his life is basically ruled and controlled by this evil man in the weird black dress..? (whose name I cant seem to recall). what intrigued me most when I was younger was the fact that despite his limitation in appearance as well as lack of freedom he still managed to make the best out of whatever he had :) from making carved wooden dolls and buildings to his 3 Gargoyle friends that kept him company ( of course that was before i was introduced to the term auditory and visual hallucinations) 
Altho i must say i preferred the Disney ending to that movie. the original plot includes Esmeralda getting hanged to death  -followed by Quasi killing his 'master' and then decides to stay with Esmeralda's corpse and dies of starvation eventually..

yea.. Disney ending was def better..

the reason why I'm mentioning him? Cause i finally learned what he actually had! Officially into the 2nd week of Ortho and was talking to someone with chronic backache and spine deformity when i came across this..

The hunchback is actually a type of spinal deformity : Kyphosis- a posterior convexity of the spine. It simple terms it somesort of gives the back a bowing like appearance..smtg like a slouching posture. Most of the cases are mild and only require monitoring,, but the more complicated cases usually do not respond well to conservative treatment thus the surgery option is the way out.

was kinda surprised when  I realize that there are many people with kyphosis - some of course had the same name calling experience that Quasi did..

There an attached link to the full article :

And im tired..

Annd i'll regret not trying to sleep early tonight in the morning tmrw..
Annnd like always its an abrupt ending to a post again..
Dang..


*Hmm maybe the reason I stopped was cause I had no time in the first place..
Or maybe my monologues are so fascinating that I decided to keep em up instead..
::God I know the voice in my head is not real but I swear our conversations are more interesting than the conversations held with actual people :D



There. Just to end it : I wish people could read minds and that people with kyphosis would not need to go through a tormenting name calling childhood for smtg they are not responsible for in the first place :/
