Thesis it!

Significance of the study:



This study will elaborate the use and effectiveness of two point discrimination (TPD) assessment as a method of determining sensation loss among DM 2 patients who do not show signs of complete sensation loss. Although the use of TPD is secondary to the SWMF (monofilament) test, it can be specifically used to quantitatively measure the degree of sensation loss for those patients who are negative to the SMWF test. If there is a significant difference among the TPD values of the lower extremities of the DM 2 patients with those of the normal subjects, then TPD can be established as a specific primary screening tool for Diabetic patients who may have a certain degree of neuropathy even though they do not manifest loss of sensation.



For therapists and clinicians, TPD may enable them to have an early detection of neuropathy before the patient has fully acquired sensation loss. They can, therefore, provide proper medications or therapy, and orient the patient firsthand of foot care, as well as the risks of having ulceration in the foot.



Early evaluation of neuropathy on the sensibility of the foot for diabetic patients is important to prevent further complications such as ulceration and infection. Researchers can therefore use our study as a source of reference for further studies about TPD. Further studies can improve the methodology used in the study and may even provide standards for TPD in Diabetic patients.

SPEECH

Hello there.
Let me spend 5 minutes of my day congratulating my fellow cheer dancers. I want to thank them for all the efforts they have given out all through the cheer dance practices and most especially during the final moment. Thank you for keeping my spirit up and I'm sorry for the stressful moments and sad feelings I showed. I just want you to know that I'm very thankful and happy to have made such memories, whether good or bad, especially with our cheer leader, Arjonel. Hehehe. I am grateful to have finally met the other nsm peeps aside from my classmates and friends. Nice meeting you! Despite the pressures that we still face up to now, it still brightens up my moment every time I think about the moments before we danced and before we found out that we are the champion. I love green. I love you guys. ;)
Bye.

Selective

It is very sad to think that those events that I don't expect to happen, those that I really am afraid of, at one part of this life would come in a series. I am starting to feel so stressed out that I couldn't keep myself from crying. Whenever stressful things happen, I would really want to burst it all out into tears, the simplest way of feeling less heavy inside. I feel so cursed for everything bad that happened to me the past few days. I am really really sad at this point. I need to take things slowly and lightly. I just don't know how. I wish a chocolate bar could make me feel better. I wish an oreo cookie and freshmilk would make me say that life is still sweet even if it is difficult.(My mom told me that it's not right for an eighteen year old lady to cry at shallow things, but then I still feel that it's really deep.)

I'm tired but I mustn't stop.

Broken Heart

To all those people whom I have hurt, I am deeply... sorry. So many things have changed right now and the world seemed to turn against me. I am sorry if I turned out to be bad to you. I feel so sick. Maybe this would somehow lessen the heavy feelings I have inside. This may seem silly or embarrassing, but I am really really sorry. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone. It's only that I am not able to make good decisions. Sorry if you have expected so much from me but in the end I wasn't able to give it back. I never want to become a bad person. I just want to be happy. But maybe life doesn't really have to be all about happiness and victories. Sometimes, I have to fall, bang my head on the wall, or wake up from the best dreams I have had and face my nightmares. Sometimes I have to realize the real point of why I am here in this big world. Though every moment, I really feel so hurt, but I got to experience such to be strong, strong enough for the future struggles I am to face. This may be just a training for me. I must learn. Sorry if I get to be stone hearted, hard headed, or stubborn. Sorry if I was disrespectful. Sorry if I gave you stressful moments. Sorry for making you upset. Sorry for all our misunderstandings. YOu may be one person I have hurt so badly, that's why I'm really sorry.
I hope that someday, you'd be able to feel what I am saying here. To all those people who have shown love yet I have hurt, a million times... SORRY. I don't know if I could ever explain things for you to understand.

Thank you.

i feel a different feeling

do you know what it feels like when you'd want to go back to a particular moment in your life and could've done things right? I'm feeling that right now. i'm not sure of the decisions i make... but there really are moments that i could've taken such chances... chances that whether taken or not would still change a part of you. i wish it would come back. though i won't be able to come back to my past, i wish it will in the future. still, I am hoping that the right star would come for me, where i'd feel what i've been wanting to feel ever since i started wishing for it. yes, this paragraph is really confusing because as i have always been, i always get confused. ;(

haaay... happy birthday mama dearest. ;)
