Having returned from watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (free ticket courtesy of Inmagine), all I really have to say is that this is one of those movies that make you cry tears of joy while watching it, and make you sad to leave the cinema in the end because it’s already over 
Go watch it, people, this movie is so goddamn worth it!!
…Then again, how can you expect any less of an Indy movie? 
I finally dragged myself to visit my ENT at SJMC last Saturday and got an audiology test performed on my hearing. As it turns out, my tinnitus stems from mild hearing loss of the high-pitched variety. This just confirms that there is no fixing my hearing – my only real solution now is managing the problem. And of course, the doc said that I could try taking some more pills if I want to – he has no idea whether it will actually do any help or not – but in the interest of being optimistic, I decided to try it anyway. After all, what’s the worst that could happen, right? So at the moment I’m on medication again. Sighhhhhhhh.
Well, on the bright side, at least I’m not dying of cancer. I don’t have a tumour in my head (which CAN also cause tinnitus), or Meniere’s disease, which is undoubtedly much much worse. I just need to take better care of myself and my hearing so that it doesn’t get worse, and get an audiology test done every 1-2 years. This means no more clubbing, concerts, or any events or places where loud music is played, minimal headphones and handphone usage, and cutting down on caffeine and alcohol. Oh, and I suppose I should get myself more sleep too. And apparently stress can make things worse too, so I have to try to keep that to a minimum (but honestly, with my line of work? HA!!!!).
Sigh. But like I said, things could be much, much worse.
An email from Play Asia just arrived in my mailbox informing me that my order of Crisis Core and The World Ends with You has just shipped. Yes, I bought two games at once even though I’m a little cash-strapped at the moment. And with Mass Effect for the PC just around the corner, and MGS4 ALSO just around the corner (and I don’t own a PS3…yet), as well as still wanting to buy an ori copy of Revenant Wings, I’m contemplating on how I can juggle my budget for the next few months, considering that I am soon-to-be-unemployed.
Hmm, maybe I’ll just buy all anyway and die happy.
