Mata lang yung titignan sakin. The apppointment of the patient before me was 9:30 am, mine was 11 am. Lumabas 12:30 pm

Nag apologize naman as soon as he saw us so it's okay, at least he acknowledged it.

many doctors have patients confined in the hospital. he sees them when he is not busy seeing you-the-outpatients. these confined patients which we call "in-patients", also pay him professional fees.

is he independently wealthy?
we know of MDs who see patients because they have nothing else to do, and because they enjoy practicing their profession..
"their family is rich; they don't have to work."

what is his specialty? surgeon (don't wanna say what type baka mahulaan mo pa doc, pero favorite siya ni Dr APS)

what is his usual consultation fee? P2500

how many patients does he have per day? 4

does he share the room with other doctors, who in turn shares with the expenses? No and he has 2 secretaries! Very very nice and large office

does he have clinic elsewhere? how well is he doing in his other clinics? 2 hospitals only

is he independently wealthy? He comes from old money. He went to an ivy league school and he has a very conyo vibe I guess he built his own wealth since he had a head start already.

we know of MDs who see patients because they have nothing else to do, and because they enjoy practicing their profession.. "their family is rich; they don't have to work. I THINK THIS IS HIM. He doesn't make us pay PF, below cost pa the medicines and other materials (secretary told me). He referred us to another doctor to look at my second Mom and (I went back to his office and told him, we're number 24 and it's such a long wait. He said "I don't like that many patients" Sa loob loob ko "what a rockstar" He's my dream guy And he's OD pa and and my Mom and Tita are fond of him. He is old enough to be my Dad though and the doctor wife is SO BEAUTIFUL.

most surgeons earn their big bucks not in the consultation room, but in the operating room.
a simple appendix can easily cost a patient more than 10 times the aforementioned consultation fee in surgeon's dues alone.

So that's why he can afford that large office and 2 secretaries even if he has so few patients. I can't imagine the stress din of having to see 20+ Patients in 4 hrs or so. Dr Cutie is living a dream life and his patients adore him. One of his patients made small talk with me, all praises din

Dati kaya ko kapain sa bulsa kung piso o ₱5. Ngayon naghahanap pa ko ng liwanag para makita. Tapos dadagdagan pa nila ang pampalito. It seems this is slightly bigger than the old ₱5/₱10 coins if not same size.

^Everytime I see coins, napipikon ako. Who were the brilliant minds that decided on making the coins look similar. What happened to BSP? It's one of the FEW government institutions that I respect

People who change their numbers often and/or have so many numbers. Why why why? I can't keep track anymore so I just text all the numbers

All day, the Internet-based sites showed rain forecasted over my area. In reality, it's been cloudy. But, not a drop of rain has fallen.

10SM is 10 statute miles which is weather lingo for there's nothing going on.

I remember saying over a decade ago to never trust weather computer forecast models beyond 48 hours. That still applies in 2020. But, today's forecast weather? This really sucks.

Actual observations. Nothing. I mean it's cloudy and breezy. But, no rain. Actually, it's only been significantly cloudy during the past couple of hours. The rest of the day had been nice.

One thing I'm happy about is a general rule of thumb I mentioned not too long ago. Whenever I see cirrocumulus clouds, expect a weather system to pass over. That was one of the first rules of thumb I learned and it actually works. We have rules of thumb for situations when we don't have anything to work with except what we see (and feel) outside.

It works!

Grabe ka-incompetent for a simple job of designing a coin that would be readily identified dapat.

Yup, maganda na yung dati different colors and sizes. I use coins talaga kasi hate ko mga cashier na kulang magsukli (another rant) Minsan kasi as much as 75 cents kulang. Hello S&R

Mercury 32nd st lang ang consistent na sobra magsukli (feeling ko directive from management)

Same sentiments here. I also hate those that don't have coins for change. Although for me yung 5 cents or 10 cents understandable na. But 25cents and up meron na dapat stores.
