Ugh. Finals week na namin. Actually, it's not a week. It's two weeks. This term is such a drag. Sobrang bagal ng term na to. >< So many things to do and to pass. I can't even find time to have fun anymore. Kahit simpleng manood lang ng sine. I miss my high school days. Pwedeng petiks lang. Pag college, BAM! Hindi yan uubra. Kailangan magsumikap. I have a lot of exams coming up and I don't even know kung alin ang uunahin ko. ang dami ring papers na kailangang ipasa. Although most of them are by groups, mahirap pa rin siya. Especially if... Nevermind. I also hate the fact that no matter how much we try to get a good grade, laging may isang grupo na mas natataasan kami. They cram all the time pero kami we do everything on time. But still, they always get the upperhand. Is that how life's supposed to be? Alam mo yung pakiramdam na nageeffort ka ng todo-todo to get a certain grade pero in the end, some other person will get it. Ni hindi man lang nageeffort ng bonggang-bonggang katulad mo. Is college really that unfair?
Edi mas mabuti pala na mag-cram na lang.
Haaaay. The effort we put in every thing we do is still not enough. Nakaka-disappoint and nakaka-frustrate lang. High school's really waaaaay better. Kahit madaming frustrations and disappointments, you can just laugh it off. Pero pag college, hindi. Masakit na your efforts are not appreciated fairly. ><
Oh well, ipagdadasal ko na lang na mataas makukuha namin sa mga papers namin. It's better to not expect anything great out of it.

ReplyDeleteHey there Ryllgasmic!
ReplyDeleteI've been your avid follower for 2 years now and I really love your blog! It's the bomb! I love your quirkiness and awesomeness! Keep it up! :) Anyways, I just wanted to ask you something. My father died a year ago due to alcohol poisoning. My family and I never really understood why he died that way especially since he has a very high tolerance in alcohol and his death was just so sudden. Please clear this up! Thank you in advance!
Dear Rain Kira:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I have you as one of my avid followers. Thank you for your very heartwarming comments. I'm sorry for your loss. It must have been very painful.
You said your father had a high tolerance on alcohol and that his sudden death quite puzzled you. Actually, alcohol poisoning is a serious — and sometimes deadly — consequence of drinking large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time. Drinking too much too quickly can affect your breathing, heart rate and gag reflex and potentially lead to comatose and death. Also, binge drinking or downing at least four to five glasses of alcohol in one sitting can also lead to death.
When somebody consumes an alcoholic drink, their liver has to filter out the alcohol, which is a toxin, from their blood. We absorb alcohol much more quickly than food therefore alcohol gets to our bloodstream much faster. However, the liver can only process one unit of alcohol every hour.
If you drink two units in one hour, there will be an extra unit in your bloodstream. If during the next hour you drink another two units, you will have two units floating around in your bloodstream at the end of two hours after your drinking session. The faster you drink, the higher your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) becomes. If you drink too fast, your BAC can spike dangerously high.
Rapid drinking can bring your BAC so high that your mental and physical functions become negatively affected. Your breathing, heartbeat and gag reflex might not work properly. You become breathless, you may choke, and your heart rhythm might become irregular. If your BAC is high enough, these physical functions can stop working, the patient stops breathing and loses consciousness.
In this case, the patient should be treated with medical attention as soon as possible because it is possible he can have cardiac arrest. Although someone with a high tolerance for alcohol may need more alcohol to get alcohol poisoning, they're still susceptible to the alcohol poisoning and its dangerous complications. The faster you drink, the more likely you are to develop alcohol poisoning. Even if you stop drinking, if you've quickly consumed several drinks, your alcohol levels will still continue to rise.
These are maybe just some of the reasons why your father has had a sudden death. So take note that when drinking, we should still be cautious of how much we drink because anybody can be affected by alcohol poisoning.
Hope my very long explanation helped you and enlightened you. God Bless! And thank you for always supporting my blog! 당신을보고! (See you!)
