Your resident gimikera is here to share her expeditions in this journey called life.
I came to Intelligraph as a Web Writer last February 16. During our last meeting, Sir Eugene named me as our "dedicated blogger specialist." I now have a client that I serve full-time and I maintain three blogs where I post daily. Now, Sir has just increased my workload by requiring me to submit at least 250 posts in different forums daily in order to promote the blogs I maintain.

I guess being a webmaster is pretty much the same thing — you need to take several steps to increase traffic to your site and worry about providing relevant content for your site.
This also reminds me of Jasper’s positive feedback regarding this gimikera blog. I still feel I could do better if I could edit its HTML code but unless I can raise several dollars annually to upgrade my Friendster account, I’ll just have to stick to keeping it simple.
P.S.
Ma’am Irene talked to me regarding my upcoming evaluation since I’ve been here for three months already. She confided that she had been hearing positive feedback regarding my work and that this would translate to me getting a salary increase. She hinted that there would be movement in the company so things are looking UP.
I’ve been going back and forth to my dentist, Dra. Molina-Sales, at De Ocampo, for the past few days because of the problems with my teeth.
At first, I only needed to get one of my molars filled with amalgam but after the procedure, I could still feel pain so I went back to her and Dra. said that I might have to get a root canal. Technically called a pulpectomy, it is one of the most dreaded dental procedures, and is done to cure an infection of the hollow area at the center of a tooth.
To cure the infection and save the tooth, it is necessary for
the dentist to cut into the pulp chamber, and remove the infected
pulp by scraping it out of the root canals. Once that is done, the
dentist fills the cavity with an inert material and seals up the
opening. This procedure is known as root canal therapy. If
enough of the tooth is damaged by the disease or removed as a
result of the treatment, a crown may be required.
She also pointed out that anotehr molar needed to be fixed with a porcelain crown (or jacket) since the tooth itself was chipped. I’ve actually had one tooth fitted with a jacket before so I was familiar with the steps involved.
My initial visit was when the dentist filed down the tooth using a dental drill — and I did this without anaesthesia! She then prepares a mouth piece that is filled with putty and inserts this mouth piece to record the shape of my teeth. When the top mouth piece was put in my mouth, I gagged a bit but the one used for the bottom part of my teeth was a bit easier to endure.
On my second visit, the dentist puts on the newly created unglazed porcelain jacket and checks it if fits well into my mouth. I ask her to trim off a portion since the crown feels too thick. Once I’m satisfied with the fit, the crown is cemented over the filed down tooth.
Yet another procedure done on me was the extraction of my upper left tooth that was growing at an angle instead of just straight down. My doctor injected me with anaesthesia but during the course of the extraction, I could’t stand the pain so she added to more vials of Lidocaine into my system.
Dra. Molina-Sales pulled my tooth in one expert move and she advised me to take the rest of the day off but i insisted on going to work. I wet to office with my jaw partly numb and my gums still a bit sore.
