Daraga, Albay.
— not sure if nakwento ko na ba 'to dito, but finally, after 5 years. nakapag Daraga Church na din kami. sobrang ganda talaga ng view dito, and it's giving vintage vibes. sabi ko nga noon, pag kinasal kami, gusto ko dito kaya gusto ko talaga mapuntahan namin 'to para makita yung loob. kasi sobrang ganda niya na sa labas. may ikakasal pa nga ata nung pumunta kami dun kasi nag reready sila at may mga bulaklak sa aisle. di ko lang masyado mafeel kung dun ko ba talaga gusto if ever dumating na yung pagkakataon. hehe.
— we went here after ng appointment namin sa UST hospital, tinry ko kasi gamitin yung HMO ko. nirequest nila ako ng 2D echo at labtest for blood chem, pero hindi nagawa kasi di naman ako nakapag fasting. so nag hanap nalang kami sa ibang hospital kung saan meron accredited.
— before maghanap, we decided na mag punta nga muna ng Daraga Church, and after that kumain kami sa favorite resto namin—Biggs. first time din namin natry 'tong fries nila na may mayo herb na dip. sobrang sarap pala. parang kini-crave ko tuloy ngayon haha. dunno know how many times i've already told this, but isa rin talagang malaking part ng relationship namin 'tong resto na 'to, kasi dito kami pinaka unang nag date nung first time namin magmeet hehe.
— after kumain, nagpatuloy na kami sa paghahanap ng accredited hospital na may 2D echo, pero kailangan pala ng diagnosis ng request letter from the attending physician, e hindi naman kami maka kuha kasi emergency doctor yung unang tumingin sakin, at hindi rin siya accredited ng HMO. kaya nag decide nalang kami na babalik nalang kinabukasan para sa blood chem nalang.
— nag grocery nalang kami ng pang handa ko sa birthday celebration at swimming namin kinabukasan. tumambay muna kami sa Serenitea at nag budget muna haha. wala kaming matinong picture together that day, kaya yan nalang na normal expressions ng pagmumukha namin haha. si OA at si Nonchalant eme haha.
— anyway, fast forward and update sa pagpapa check up ko, nakapag pa blood chem na ako nung sunday and found out na mataas na pala yung sugar ko. so nairefer na rin ako sa IM doctor, tried to go back there nung friday para makapag pa interpret na ng lab test ko, pero di na ko nakatuloy dahil sumaglit lang ako sa work, almost 2 hours na akong nag hintay, kaso may procedure daw yung doctor. kaya nag decide akong babalik nalang.
— sabi naman ng pinsan ni J na doctor, kaya pa naman daw madaan sa strict diet. kaya nag hahanap din sana ako ng mga meal plan dito sa Albay katulad ng mga nasa Manila kaso wala akong mahanap. nasa lahi kasi talaga namin ang diabetes, buti nalang din at meron kaming HMO malaking tulong talaga 'to para maisaayos din ang kalusugan.
— dun ko nga rin narealize, na sobrang mahal pala talaga magpadoctor. grabe pala yung sakripisyo ni mommy noon para mapagamot ako nung nag karon ako ng sakit sa baga. ang mamahal pa naman ng mga lab test. kaya kako sobrang naguguilty ako na wala akong nagawa nung nagkasakit siya. hindi man lang ako nakabawi. i should've known better. pero huli na ang lahat.
— kaya din siguro feeling ko binibigyan ako ng signs para maging aware sa kalusugan ko at para hindi ko na maexperience yung hirap at sakit na dinanas ng mom ko.

Mrs. Charles E. Inches (Louise Pomeroy), 1887
Oil on canvas
Married to a Boston physician, society hostess Louise Inches was known for her beauty.
Sargent, on his first working trip to the U.S., offered European sophistication to his clients, here summoning the elegant look of 18th-century French portraits. Critics commented on the painter's modernity, but also recognized historical connections; a Boston writer called Mrs. Inches "one of the most brilliant pieces of coloring that has been painted since the days of Titian." Just as at the Paris Salon, visitors to Sargent's 1888 exhibition in Boston were "like a conclave of ghouls at a banquet of human fiesh, tearing and rending the feast before them," according to one reporter. They compared Sargent's depictions with the people they knew. "Between those who thought them too beautiful and those who thought them not beautiful enough, all just speculation of method and execution was lost. It might have been a Jarley's wax works or Mme. Tussaud's exhibition." Others, in private, were less discreet: "I think Mrs. Inches looks as if she would bring you the head of Holofernes for the asking." wrote Fanny Lang to Isabella Stewart Gardner.

Do you have a guide to all your OCs anywhere?
No, but there is one now. :) Brief note that these characters are from the TMAAF verse; minor, non-recurring OCs like Xiao Liuzi from travelers through the empty gate will not show up here. Also keep in mind that some characters, like Nie Yunhua and Nie Yunhai, have more significant roles in my modern verses and Tumblr AUs than in TMAAF.
Gusu Lan sect
1. Lan Xiaohui (Xiao-Yu). Wangxian's second child, born to a courtesan called Yang Xin in Yunmeng in 731.
2. Wei Shuilan, born in 736. Her parentage is completely unknown.
3. Wei Chunyang, Wangxian's only biological child, born to Wei Wuxian in 740. She is the reincarnated spirit of Jiang Yanli.
4. Lan Jueying, born in 735 to a pair of villagers who were killed by a yaoguai. After their deaths, she was adopted by Lan Xichen.
5. Lan Minghui, born in 731. He has one younger brother, and his mother is a nurse in the Baoshi. He and Xiao-Yu are best friends.

Yunmeng Jiang sect
1. Yu Zhenhong. He is a couple of years younger than Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, and the son of Yu Ziyuan's older half-brother. He currently serves as Jiang Cheng's deputy and possesses a highly dangerous weapon called Shuaixing, which takes the form of a spear that causes explosions when thrown.
2. Li Shuai. She is Lotus Pier's second deputy and Yu Zhenhong's wife. Her core was melted when Wen Chao attached Lotus Pier, so she carries a dagger instead of a sword and practices non-cultivating martial arts instead of the jiandao.
3. Yu Mei, born in 727 to Li Shuai and Yu Zhenhong.
4. Yu Jin, born in 729 to Li Shuai and Yu Zhenhong.
5. Yu Min, born in 731 to Li Shuai and Yu Zhenhong.
6. Yu Xihan, born in 714. Lotus Pier's current head disciple, and a first cousin once removed to Yu Zhenhong (though not to Jiang Cheng).
7. Zhao Suyin, born in 715. Lotus Pier's first ranking female disciple, and a lost descendant from the Xinjiang Zhao clan. She later marries Yu Xihan.
8. Xiao Yan. One of the younger disciples in the senior class. She later marries Jin Chan and becomes the mother of Jin Yun.
9. Luo Ming, Liu Feng, Dai Hualing, and Li Jiangshun. Other disciples in the senior class.
10. Pan Gaolin. The head physician at the Lufeng infirmary, who first earned notoriety when she destroyed an infant Jiang Yanli's cultivation root as part of a (successful) experimental procedure intended to make her lungs and stomach develop faster. As a young girl, she studied healing at the medical institute in Xinjiang Zhao with Yun Guimeng.
11. Lang Xiyan. She was originally a kitchen maid at Mo Manor, but she was expelled from Mo Village and came into Pan Gaolin's care in Yunmeng, where she became a healer. She is Lang Lihua's birth mother.

13. Jiang Lianhua, born in 740 to Jiang Cheng and Jiang-furen.
14. Jiang Bohai, born in 743 to Jiang Cheng and Jiang-furen.
Qinghe Nie sect
1. Nie Shiyong. She is a tiger-shifter born in 715, and captured in 717 by Jin Guangyao after he invited her parents to the Jinlintai. Her parents were murdered, and Nie Shiyong was imprisoned for the next four years. Nie Huaisang rescued and adopted her in 721, though her existence was not publicly known until 733. She married Jin Ling in 739, and is the mother of several children with him.

Work update
Malapit nang matapos ang training period, pero bago pa man matapos 'yon, mukhang made-deploy na ako sa isang real project. 'Yung pinagawa sa akin na practice ngayon e isa sa mga deferred project last year na na-hold and no one knows kung matutuloy pa ba siya, probably not, so real-world data pa rin naman.
Anyway, sa kabilang work naman, isa sa mga assigned topic sa 'kin ay i-analyze daw ang marketing strategy ng Apple. Hahaha. In fairness, 'di ko alam kung sobrang biased lang nitong nabasa ko (focusing on all the positive points) or maganda ang pagkakasulat, pero it seems na Apple is doing great in terms of management. Ewan ko lang ngayon since taghirap na more than ever and nagkikeep up na rin ang competition.
Speaking of management, how great it would be kung tunay na collaborative ang healthcare. Just stating the obvious pero napaka-compartmentalized kasi. For Apple, nagwork 'yung experts leading experts strategy. For us, parang ganu'n din naman. 'Yung training officer, expert naman 'yun sa field niya. Very hierarchical, you learn from your seniors, you teach your juniors. Pero wala kami nu'ng mga "accountability without control" eme hahaha. Siyempre, kung nasa ortho team ka, bakit (or paano) ka naman makikisawsaw sa bituka ng pasyente or depression. Sa bagay, meron din namang multidisciplinary team conference na tinatawag.
Not sure if gagana sa Pilipinas (or mayroon na ba) 'yung idea ng concierge medicine (sa pagkakaintindi ko, parang subscription siya tapos on-call 'yung doctor na 'yon for you for a certain period like 1 year). Nakita kong mina-market nila 'yung gano'n as VIP ka always, walang waiting in line na magaganap. Mukhang nice siya pag okay 'yung primary physician na nakuha mo, siya na magcoconsolidate ng info at ididirect ka niya sa tamang landas (ideally), or siya na ang magmamanage ng lahat (kung within his/her expertise naman).
Also random sentiment: totoo nga 'no na maraming pangarap ang iba para sa 'yo. Ayon sa mga kaopisina ng tatay ko, dapat daw mag-residency ako. Nu'ng sinabi ko naman sa tatay ko na may magandang opportunity sana na malapit dito kaso gusto may BCOM training (occupational medicine 'yung OM), sabi niya, edi kumuha ka no'n. Sabi ko, 14,000 kaya 'yon. Hahahahaha. Buti pa 'yung licensed nurse, paglapag daw sa Canada, PR na (charot, chismis lang 'to sa isang doctor group; requirement daw doon na PR ka bago makapag-pursue ng [medical] residency so very helpful if nurse ka rin).

4/28/23: r/SketchDaily theme, "Free Draw Friday." This week's character from my anthro WWII storyline is Unteroffizier (Sergeant) Kaspar Lange. Not much I can say about him here but that he's one of the story's nastiest characters, with no redeeming qualities to speak of. There'll be more about him later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se.
TUMBLR EDIT: Ahmm...hm. So, Sgt. Lange. This guy is a real piece of work. Unlike most of my skeezy/unpleasant characters, I don't have any real background on him. I think similar to Schavitz (even Dannecker has SOME explanation, though no excuse, for what he does) he was simply born bad...unlike Schavitz, as far as I'm aware, he never does anything of any redeeming value for the protagonists (even Schavitz makes himself useful when it suits him). He's just evil, through and through, he has no explanation, and he doesn't care.
Lange is a sexual sadist who targets exclusively other men. This is normally the sort of thing that would get him in serious trouble with the Wehrmacht; witness the crap Godfrey Klemper goes through after mere rumors spread of his brief involvement with a male Jewish partisan--it takes intervention by both his commanding officer and the SS to keep him from getting not just ousted from the military, but executed on charges related to perversion, breaking the race laws, and potential treason--despite this, he still ends up demoted and prevented from advancing through the ranks again, plus is forced into a fluff job "babysitting" Ratdog. Lange, however, has an advantage in that he catches the notice of Nazi physician Dr. Dietmar Kammler, who's always looking for new and creative ways to torture his subjects and keep them in line. When he catches wind of the sergeant's unsavory activities, it occurs to him to weaponize Lange for his own benefit.
Lange victimizes numerous other characters before and throughout the series, the more notable ones being Boris, Teal Rat, Ratdog, Silver Rat, and Klemper. Boris is one of his earlier victims, before the official series starts; he and his unit desert from the Red Army and venture into eastern Germany, only to end up pursued by the Wehrmacht. Boris is separated from the rest of his men, gets captured, and Lange decides to "have some fun" with him. Boris isn't a weakling--he's tall and imposing and easily intimidates most men he meets. He's also the stereotypical macho character and rather homophobic; when he comes into contact with Klemper later on he frequently ridicules him with gay slurs (this has no real effect on Klemper as, weirdly, he uses gay slurs on others, himself). Needless to say, what Lange puts him through is utterly humiliating in addition to painful, in a way that it isn't quite for his other victims; Boris can't understand why he's unable to defend himself, so of course he engages in a lot of self-blame later on, trying to figure out why didn't he just fight back harder. An additional embarrassment is how he ends up rescued: After Lange departs, the remaining Nazis (they didn't participate in what occurred previously) resume beating and torturing the restrained, half-naked Boris, until suddenly, gunshots start ringing out, and they start dropping dead. Boris can't see everything that's going on, and can't tell where the shots are coming from--the Nazis are just as bewildered, as the gunfire seems to be coming from every direction. One by one the unseen gunmen pick them off with clean shots to the head; when only one is left, he flees in a panic, and the shooters apparently allow him to. By now Boris is terrified that whoever these people are might kill him next; he hears rustling and then footsteps approaching, before someone slices his restraints with a knife and he collapses. He immediately rolls over, prepared to defend himself, but the only person standing there is a slender, dark-haired woman with a knife and a rifle. Boris demands to know where are the rest of the gunmen. He refuses to believe at first that she's the only one, but nobody else comes forward, and the more time passes, the clearer it becomes that Didrika is in fact his sole rescuer. He's saved from torture and execution by a woman, and not even a physically impressive one, at that. Humiliating.
Despite how close they become to each other as time goes on, Boris is absolute trash to Didrika at first; he even gets drunk and takes out his rage toward Lange on her their first night together, though when he sobers up the next day he's mortified by his own actions. Didrika witnessed only a fraction of what he went through; while it's no excuse, still, she understands from experience where the rage comes from. By the time they reunite with the rest of Boris's men, it's Boris who has to convince them that yes, Didrika is his lone rescuer, and he bullies the rest of the men, both his fellow Soviets and the other partisans they come across, into accepting her as their leader. He even gives her his rifle to use, recognizing that she's the superior marksman. Although Didrika engages in multiple relationships for a time, Boris remains loyal to her, and eventually she's faithful to him as well. (Though she does still flirt with and mock-seduce the men she comes in contact with as a strategic move, Boris doesn't care. The only time he expresses jealousy is when she focuses her attention on Silver, whom she doesn't even attempt to seduce. If there's anything Boris hates as much as the Germans, it's the Trench Rats.)
Lt. Ratdog--ironically, the chief rival, on the Wehrmacht's side, of Didrika and by extension Boris--is another of Lange's high-profile victims. Unlike Boris and the Trench Rats, which are prisoner torture-style events, this incident is purely a vengeful one, as Ratdog and Lange are fighting on the same side. (Proving that Lange isn't too picky about who he targets.) Ratdog has been recruited as a sniper by General Schavitz, and granted an honorary lieutenant rank in the Wehrmacht; as part of the deal, and also as a sort of punishment for PFC Klemper's scandal, Klemper is assigned to be Ratdog's bodyguard (as well as to keep Ratdog out of trouble) whenever his unit isn't deployed elsewhere. Klemper seethes over this at first--especially considering how hard he worked only to lose his rank, while Ratdog had one handed to him--but has no choice in the matter. The fact that Ratdog himself is not only promiscuous, but sees no problem taking home women OR men, rankles Klemper even further, since he was punished for much less, yet here Ratdog's behavior is tolerated. Despite this, the two of them end up spending a night together; Ratdog pretty much expresses interest in anyone, while Klemper expresses interest in older men who express interest in him. Coming from an abusive background, he's easily victimized by such men yet is desperate for their approval, and keeps falling for any such man who seems to care about him. In other words, Klemper uses sex to get romance, while Ratdog uses romance to get sex. Result, Klemper falls for Ratdog, but very quickly realizes Ratdog isn't interested in a romantic relationship, so the next time Ratdog makes a move, Klemper rebuffs him and angrily snaps, "Go pick someone up in the bar if you want to get laid so bad!"
Ratdog's confused by Klemper's hot/cold attitude, yet takes the advice, returning to the bar he frequents (another habit Klemper can't stand), looking for somebody to go home with. Lange hits him up and they chat for a bit, but something about him seems off; Ratdog politely declines, and ends up leaving the bar and returning home alone. Lange isn't the type to take no for an answer, obviously, and though he doesn't show it, Ratdog's rejection infuriates him--Ratdog's known for not being picky about who he goes home with, so why would he turn him down? Lange drinks and steams for a while before leaving, and he heads straight to Ratdog's apartment. Ratdog of course opens the door at his knock and is perplexed yet not alarmed to see him, at least, not until Lange forces his way in. Ratdog may be an excellent sniper but he's not a very skilled fighter, and despite his best efforts, Lange easily gets the better of him. He ends up passing out from the beating he takes, coming to after Lange's departed; although in rough shape and aching all over, he manages to lock his door, make a telephone call to inform his superiors he won't be in in the morning, wash himself up, and curl up in bed, just a ball of hurt.
For some reason, Ratdog's message isn't forwarded to the right people, and Klemper is sent ahead to fetch him when he doesn't show up in the morning. No one answers his knock, so he picks the lock and lets himself in; on a casual glance nothing seems amiss, yet Klemper notices tiny details that start to concern him. A piece of furniture is just slightly askew, there's a scuff on the floor, and when he squats down to inspect it, he notices something under the couch: a sergeant's collar tab, torn from its uniform. Increasingly uneasy, Klemper looks around further, though Ratdog wakes on hearing him moving around, and comes out to confront him, armed with his pistol (assuming Lange has returned). Klemper is stunned by the shape he's in--bruised all over, limping, his lip swollen and both his eyes black--and asks what happened; Ratdog curtly replies, "Bar fight." He demands to know why Klemper's there--Klemper explains he was sent along when Ratdog didn't show up for work--Ratdog reiterates the message he sent before, and tells Klemper to leave, retreating back to his room. Klemper instead makes coffee; when Ratdog reappears and snaps at him to get lost, he refuses, and starts rummaging around in the food, saying, "You're going to have to go back in before those bruises are gone." Ratdog belatedly realizes this, and after a moment retreats again. Klemper speaks up.
Klemper: "Cold water."
Ratdog: "What?"
Klemper: "For when you don't have ice. Cold water on your eyes for the swelling. Later on, heat to take away the bruise."
Ratdog may be kind of dense but he gets the distinct feeling Klemper is speaking from experience. He goes to the bathroom sink and spends a while pressing cold wet cloths to his face.
Some time later, both Ratdog and Klemper attend an officers' gathering and Lange approaches. Klemper has had a run-in with his unit in the past--a sergeant back then himself, he prevented them from torching a village they claimed (without proof) was harboring partisans. This earned him an Iron Cross. Obviously he and Lange dislike each other over this, but it was their only encounter and both of them have pretty much moved on and forgotten it. So he's more bemused than anything when Lange stops to talk with Ratdog, not him. Lange makes a suggestive reference to them passing time with each other; at first Klemper assumes he's yet another of Ratdog's one-night stands, but Ratdog's body language hints otherwise--his breathing picks up, his pupils dilate, he leans back slightly when Lange leans forward. He also doesn't respond to Lange's mildly derisive banter the way he usually would. Klemper picks up on all of this, and notices this guy is a sergeant--his collar tabs match the one he found torn off on the floor. If there's one thing Klemper knows, it's predators. Ratdog makes no move to make Lange leave them alone, so he does. When Lange leans even closer to get right in Ratdog's face, he suddenly tenses and takes a step back--Klemper pulled his pistol and nudged it under his ribs. He quietly informs Lange he's gotten in trouble before and he can handle getting in trouble again, as the SS itself bailed him out--and what's more, his unit is still devoted to him, despite him no longer being in charge--whatever action he decides to take on Lange, they'll back him up. "What about you, do the SS and the Heer have your back...?" he says. Lange knows he's feared yet highly unpopular; he backs off. As he walks away Ratdog relaxes a little and murmurs, "You're not going to make many friends this way," to which Klemper retorts, "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to keep YOU out of trouble. Lot of help you're being!"
Later on, Klemper's and Lange's units are both tasked with searching an abandoned house for any goods they can use (scavenging derelict homes is a thing the Wehrmacht does in my story, these are "wandering" troops who patrol the eastern interior of Germany, it's a weird plot element not based anything on reality to the best of my knowledge); Klemper is especially skilled at finding the good stuff, so he's sent upstairs first to browse around. He locates a bedroom and while perusing the shelves gets distracted by a snowglobe; he has a childish fondness for small toys and pretty things, so he picks the snowglobe up and looks it over admiringly. As he's doing so, however, he notices a reflection moving in the glass--someone is creeping up behind him. He ducks just in time to avoid the butt of Lange's rifle smashing into the shelves. When Lange comes at him, he does get in a few decent blows of his own, but after a moment or so of sparring Lange starts hitting him back, and gets hold of him and hurls him at the bed, pinning him down. Klemper gets the picture now and starts fighting even harder, though he can't get any blows in this time. When it becomes clear he won't be able to free himself, he stops fighting and goes limp. Lange pushes himself up a bit to reach for his clothes and at that moment, Klemper brings up his knee as hard as he can, jamming it in his groin--Lange hunches over in pain, and gets Klemper's Stahlhelm slamming against his head. He lets go and stumbles out of the bed and next thing he knows, Klemper is raining kicks and blows all over him while he can hardly defend himself. The men in Klemper's unit are often given Pervitin to keep them going on their long treks and today is no different. Pervitin is methamphetamine. So basically, Klemper beats the s**t out of Lange in the middle of a meth rage. Stupid choice, Lange.
This whole time, Klemper never yells or screams for help. The two of them do snarl at each other while fighting though, and make a great deal of noise thrashing and hurling around. Result, it's only belatedly that Klemper's commanding officer, Lt. Dasch, realizes something is amiss, and heads upstairs to investigate the noise. Finds Klemper whaling on Lange, who by now is mostly just trying to defend himself. Yells for them to break it up and knock it off, having to physically pull Klemper off of him before demanding to know what the hell is going on. "Misunderstanding!" Klemper, panting and bloody, snaps; of course Lange doesn't bother protesting. Dasch knows it's obviously a lot more than that--he's aware of both Klemper's repeated history as a victim, and Lange's repeated history as a victimizer--but he can't do anything without a complaint, and neither one of them complains. He orders Lange to get back to his unit, and Klemper to clean himself up and return downstairs; afterwards everyone picks up and moves out. Klemper, unbelievably, is the only one to successfully fend off Lange, and Lange doesn't mess with him again. He pays a nasty price for defending himself, though; when Ratdog meets him a bit later, he's stunned by Klemper's appearance, his lip split and his eyes black and swollen. "What happened...?" he asks; this time, Klemper curtly responds, "Bar fight." Klemper doesn't frequent bars, so his meaning is immediately clear to Ratdog: He knows what happened in Ratdog's apartment that night, and who was responsible, and had a run-in with the same person himself. Ratdog suggests cold water: "On your eyes, for the swelling. Later on, heat to take away the bruise." He takes issue with Klemper going about his duties as if nothing happened, trying to convince him to ask for a break; Klemper rankles at the suggestion and retorts, "I don't need you protecting me! I fought him off, not you!" This shuts Ratdog up immediately with its implication that maybe he should've fought harder, himself. Klemper, regretting his words, does take a moment later on to apologize:
Klemper: "I wanted to say I'm sorry."
Ratdog: "You? Sorry?"
Klemper: "When I said I fought back and you didn't. I know you did your best. It's not your fault if it wasn't enough."
Oddly, Lange's actions end up helping Ratdog and Klemper understand each other a little better, in that the two of them have something in common now. It takes a while, and there are still a few false starts, but they eventually become emotionally inseparable.
Lange's main role is as a literal weapon of Nazi Dr. Kammler, who, learning of his proclivities, recruits him to help torture certain subjects of his. I don't know how these two meet or how they come about this weird arrangement, but Lange is 100% on board. He enjoys the job a little TOO much, even by Kammler's standards; Kammler, frankly, despises Lange, finding him perverted and disgusting, but that's beside the point, he's not there to be friendly with him. He just makes a point to leave the room whenever Lange does his thing so he doesn't have to witness it. I don't even know that Lange receives any sort of monetary reimbursement for this; the job itself is payment enough, he enjoys inflicting pain and humiliation so much. Kammler likely promises to protect him from persecution by the Wehrmacht though that's probably it, and I'm not sure he even has the ability to follow through on that. Lange doesn't care, he's having too much fun.
His victims under Kammler's watch are likely numerous. It's the Trench Rats who are the most prized targets, though. Kammler doesn't inflict this punishment on everyone, it's rather arbitrary; for example, test subjects Wolfstein, Kolten, Doomsday Rat, and Drake Rat are never put through this, even though D-Day later becomes a Trench Rat. Kolten is too well connected (his father is an SS officer, and in charge of supervising the project); D-Day just happens to be Kammler's most successful subject, and obeys commands so such punishment isn't needed--he could easily have become Kammler's golden boy if he hadn't been rescued. Wolfstein and Drake are the outliers: They're both Jewish, and they both passively resist most of Kammler's efforts to break them. He loses his temper with them multiple times, and puts them through some horrific torture, but for some reason, never sics Lange on them. I don't know, maybe he just doesn't see Jews as worth the trouble? Or maybe because it would be a violation of the race laws or it's possibly the line Lange won't cross? *shrugs* Frankly, that last one sounds most plausible.
Teal Rat and Silver Rat aren't so fortunate. Teal's story is HERE--some random thing he says or does sets Kammler off, and Kammler calls in Lange; by this point Lange has beaten Teal numerous times yet Kammler always ordered him to go no further, so even he's a bit surprised when Kammler changes his mind. But he goes right ahead. This is the incident that finally ends up breaking Teal's will, and in a sad effort to remain in the doctor's good graces, he yells to get the guards' attention when Silver Rat later on breaks into project headquarters--ironically, thwarting his own chance at escape. The result is Silver goes through the same thing Teal did; that's HERE. The difference is that Silver, with Wolfstein's help, escapes; Teal isn't rescued until much later. That's already been covered in their entries, but they do share the difficulties of trying to work through their trauma; both of them are humiliated, confused, and full of rage (Teal ends up taking this out on Kammler himself), and not sure how to handle it. Silver learns how to cope with the aid of Reseda Rat; Teal has no one to help him. Probably why he simply gives up.
(The following plot points have changed somewhat since the last time I went over this, you'll see how if you follow the link.)
As for Lange...? He carries on mostly in the background of the plot as a sort of chaos agent, unimpeded and undeterred (his and Klemper's units even come into contact again, though the two of them have no further altercations--I think being beaten to a pulp by a shrimpy effeminate openly gay guy effectively humiliated him), until one day in the woods when he ends up separated from the rest. He hears little noises, and is sure he's being followed; he slowly draws his gun and creeps through the trees, focusing on the direction of the sound. He at last reaches a small clearing and sees something lying on the ground; peering closer, he realizes it's a Soviet revolver. After checking to make sure it's not attached to any traps, he picks it up and looks it over curiously; he has enough time to realize it's unloaded before something goes around his neck and yanks his head back. He's abruptly put in a headlock--Boris leans close to his face and says with a smile, "Remember me, droog?" Lange can't really speak since he can hardly breathe, but it doesn't matter; Boris says, "Looks like is just you and me this time, da?"--and manages to keep hold of Lange as he pulls out a large knife. Lange blinks at the sight of it. "Now is my turn to have fun," Boris says in a decidedly nasty tone, and jams the knife in Lange's gut, giving it a vicious twist--"Gut wound. Slow, painful way to die"--before pulling it out. He lets Lange go so he collapses, then nudges him over with his boot. Lange still doesn't talk, just clasps his hands over his wound, gasping and staring up at him. "Now I get to watch while you suffer," Boris says, wiping off his knife. And he accordingly goes and sits nearby to watch while Lange bleeds out.
After a couple of hours or so Lange lets out a rattling sound and falls still. Boris waits a bit longer, gets up to go look, nudges him a few times--Lange just stares glassily--then snorts. He puts away his knife and revolver, grabs Lange by the arms, and drags him across the clearing; there he hauls him upright and, pulling out some rope, strings Lange against the trunk for anyone to see as they pass by. "Do svidaniya," he says, pushing Lange's cap onto his head, and leaves.
The first to stumble upon Lange's body hours later, as luck would have it, are Ratdog and Klemper; Klemper notices the disturbed, blood-stained leaves left when Lange was dragged across the ground, and has Ratdog wait while he investigates. He's nonplussed at the sight of Lange's gore-stained body tied to the tree...yet after a moment or so he starts to laugh. Ratdog approaches and is even more shocked, not so much by Lange as by Klemper's ghoulish reaction; when Klemper scoops up a clod of dirt and crams it into Lange's mouth and starts cackling even louder he decides they have to get the hell out of there and report the find lest they be blamed for his death. It's the SS that investigates such things, so Captain Himmel volunteers to go retrieve the body as Major Jäger is rather skeezed out at the thought. It's partisan territory, so he ends up captured by Didrika's men (here's the scene where Didrika leans over him to jeer at his predicament, he notices her skull-and-crossbones pendant, she says, "You like looking at my t*ts, old man?" and Himmel replies, "I'm sure your t*ts are lovely but they're not what I'm interested in right now," to which she can't think of a response), and Jäger has to rescue him AND retrieve Lange's body by showing up with a white flag to negotiate...a pretty embarrassing situation all around. Throughout the rest of the story, nobody else ever figures out who killed Lange, though suspicion does very briefly fall on Ratdog and Klemper. Honestly, nobody really cares--Himmel investigates because it's his job, but the only person who loses from Lange's death is Kammler, and even he's "meh" about it. Everybody promptly moves on.
Boris's murder of Lange makes his own death toward the end of the story a bit ironic, you can find that HERE. Such is war, I guess. Sadly, Klemper dies in a way much similar to Lange's, as well. Their deaths are at least properly mourned, a lot more than Lange gets or deserves.

Episode 471: Be quiet, Harry!
The opening teaser is a reprise of the last scene of Friday’s episode. Dr Eric Lang is trying to convince his patient, recovering vampire Barnabas Collins, to participate in an experiment he wants to start. He addresses him as “Barnabas Barnabas.” It had been a quirk of Barnabas’ previous physician, Julia Hoffman, to repeat Barnabas’ first name, and as Julia, Grayson Hall manages to put a fresh…

Near-death experience(?)
Last month, sobrang hectic ng schedule ko sa school. Walang-tigil, walang pagod ako sa kakatabraho. Wala pang pumalit sa umalis na Guidance Coordinator sa Basic Ed, so ang ending kamibg dalawa ng head ko ang humawak muna for the meantime. Ako ang Guidnace Coordinator ng Tertiary Ed, kahit pagod na ako, hinawakan ko pa rin ang Basic Ed kasi walang Guidance ang available that time. Wala akong choice.
One time, days bagong yung birthday ko, after kong maglunch, biglang sumakit ang ulo ko na tila nahihilo na ako. Di ko alam kung bakit. Kaya dumiretso ako sa clinic para magpacheck ng BP ko, fluctuated yung resulta, kaya pinahiga muna ako sa bed ng clinic. Hanggang sa bigla na lang namanhid ang kalahati ng mukha ko. Di ko na alam kung ano ang gaggawin ko, bigla ko na lang tinawag yung nurse namin at sinabi ko agad ko kalagayan. Kelangan na agad akong dalhin sa ospital, pero tumanggi alo dala ng takot. Pero nagsabi na yung school physician namin dapat na akong dalhin sa ospital bago pa mahuli ang lahat. Kaya wala akong choice at sumunod na lang ako. Dinala ako sa emegency, at chineck ang BP ko at blood sugar ko. Doon ko na lang nalaman na sobrang taas ng blood sugar ko, umabot pa sa 21, habang ang normal blod sigar ay 5. Buti na lang daw at dinala na ako agad, dahil kung di daw nila ako dinala, dalawa lang daw ang pwede mangyari sa akin-- maparalisa ang kalahating katawan ko or mamatay. Kaya tinurukan ako agad ng Insulin. After ng test, pinabalik na ako sa office. Pagbalik ko sa office, nagulat na lang sila na ganon pala nangyari sa akin. Di muna ako pinabalik sa trabaho, pero di ako nakinig. Balik trabaho pa rin ako despite sa nangyari.
Sa totoo lang, hindi ko talaga alam kung magiging thankful ako dahil hindi ako umabot sa puntong iyon. Dahil sa totoo lang, yun rin yung time na sana natuluyan na ako. Ewan ko ba kung bakit naisip ko yung ganong bagay.
Wala talaga akong balak na ipost to dito kasi mabigat pa rin sa akin yun habang iniisip ko yun.

A Little Less Alone
“Ma, pagaling kayo. Kaya nyo ‘yang sakit nyo. Mahal na mahal ka namin.” 
These are the words from the daughter of an intubated patient who requested to talk to her mother admitted at the red zone. With tears falling down my patient’s face, she nodded—as if re-assuring her daughter that she is fine and that soon, they will see again see each other and feel each other’s warm embrace. 
The red zone is such a lonely place. Patients are alone and cannot be taken care of my their relatives. The hospital is also short-staffed and cannot attend to all the concerns of the patients. For patients, I know it is difficult for them to recuperate from their illness without their loved ones. 
It is unfortunate that COVID prevented our patients from being with their relatives while they are admitted. COVID robbed our patients from having a loved on to listen about their discomfort and a hand to hold them on difficult times of their hospitalization. COVID prevented our patient from feeling the warmth of the hugs of their loved ones when they need it the most.  
Honestly, I cannot imagine being sick and alone. So I told myself, that if a patient asks for my help to someone talk to their relatives, I make a way to make it happen. Whenever I do my daily rounds at the red zone, patients would clamor at me and would ask me to reach for their relatives. “Dok, pakisabi sa anak ko ok lang ako at saka padala ng jacket”, a patient would tell me. So I’d call the Social Service and relay their messages. Sometimes, patients would ask for a pen and paper to write their message for their relatives outside the red zone. This is the least I could do for my patients who cannot see their relatives and at the mercy of the hospital staff if they message would be relayed. 
 Social support is indeed an important part of the recovery of our patients. I realized that helping patients connected with their loved ones helped them emotionally. Seeing them smile after a seeing their relatives via a video call, after a long time of seeing hopelessness in their faces is priceless. Others, who already refused treatment and hospitalization, would agree to medical management after talking to their relatives. 
Communication both with the patient and to their relatives is also important. Patient’s relatives mostly relay on our updates on their patients. I have learned that through communicating well to my patients’ relatives about their condition and current treatment plan will enable me to establish rapport with them. 
The red zone has been my battle ground but it has thought me some of the most important lessons as a physician. One of them is that the presence of family—whether in flesh or virtually—is intricately entwined with a patient’s recovery. Hence, I commit myself to ensure that my patients would be able to connect to their family and loved ones and make them feel a little less alone.

Red Carnation with a Dragonfly, 1760 Barbara Regina Dietzsch (1706 - 1783, German) Barbara was a Bavarian painter and engraver known for her still lifes, and she also painted birds and shells. Her works sold in Germany, England, Holland, and France. They were collected in the Netherlands and England. Additionally, although Dietzsch herself did not illustrate textbooks, her works have been included in German natural history books. Christoph Jacob Trew, a physician and botanist, was a patron of botanical art in Nuremberg, including that of the Dietzsch family. Her work was influential on artist Ernst Friedrich Carl Lang. Germaine Greer describes Dietzsch's work as "exact and linear, as one might expect of designs for engraving, but in her more ambitious flower pieces she exhibited a conservatism of approach which was fairly antiquarium."

THE HISTORY OF PRA KRING
Pra Kring is a small figurine of Buddha in Mara Vichai Gesture (Subduing Mara, also known as Calling the Earth to witness) with lotus petals at the base in the front, the right hand of Buddha is on his knee, and his left hand is holding a pot of elixir of immortality or a peach (peach is regarded the fruit of immortality). The style of Pra Kring is similar to Pra Paisatchayaguru (Buddha of Medicine Bhaiṣajyaguru), and it is believed that Pra Kring is Bhaiṣajyaguru of Mahayana Buddhism. Bhaiṣajyaguru is also known as Healing Buddha, Master of Healing, Supreme Physician, and King of Medicines. The figurine of Pra Kring will be put in the water for making holy water for healing sickness, warding off evil spirits, easing the suffering, Klawklad Plodpai (bringing safety, and pushes you away from all danger), and Metta Maha Niyom (easily gaining loving, mercy, caring, kindness, and compassion from all people around you), and Maha Larp (bringing Lucky Wealth / wealth fetching). In the reign of King Rama V of Bangkok (King Chulalongkorn) between CE 1868 to CE 1910, the Pra Kring Pawaret was used for making Holy Water on his Birthday Anniversary Ceremonies.
The oldest Pra Kring figurines were made in Tibet and China, they are called “Pra Kring Tibet” and “Pra Kring Nong Sare” in Thai. And the second to the oldest Pra Kring figurines were discovered Cambodia dated as of Angkor period, they were called “Pra Kring Ubageng”, “Pra Kring Panombageng”, and “Pra Kring Pra Patoom Suriyawong”. The Cambodian style Pra Kring Patoom Suriyawong was popular in the reign of King Jayavarman VII (reigned CE 1181 to CE 1218), this type of Pra Kring was made to replace the figurine of Buddha of Medicine Bhaiṣajyaguru which was firstly made in Cambodia since King Jayavarman I (reigned CE 657 to CE 681). The making of Pra Kring figurines in Thailand was influenced by Cambodia, and it believed that Pra Kring figurines in Thailand was firstly made as early as in the Kingdom of Sukhothai (CE 1238 – CE 1438).
In Thailand, the Pra Kring figurine is traditionally stuffed with a small metal ball inside to make noise after it is shaken. The ringing the Pra Kring is to perform while praying a sermon. The material used for casting Pra Kring figurines in Thailand is called “Nawaloha”, an alloy, a combination of 9 kinds of metals which are iron, mercury, gold, silver, copper, pluang (antimony ore), zinc, chin (silver lead alloy), and borisuth (pure copper ore). There are different sizes of Pra Kring figurines, and the portable tiny Pra Kring figurine is called “Pra Chaiyawat”.
As for Thais, Pra Kring is a Buddha figurine that makes noise after being shaken. And in Mahayana Buddhism, it is believed that Pra Kring would help bring 12 kinds of success to the owner. And Thais (Theravada Buddhism) believe that Pra Kring helps bring good health, longevity, cure for all diseases with wealth & prosperity.

CHAO KHUN NOR OF WAT THEP SIRINTHRAWAT
Chao Khun Norrarath Rachamanit (Chao Khun Nor) was born on Saturday, 5th Febuary BE2440 and was the eldest of the family of 5 children. He was in the first group of students of the 1st Official University of Kingdom Siam, later known as Chulalongkorn University. After completing his studies, Chao Khun Nor became an officer of the Royal House of King Rama VI. He became the closest attendant to the King and he was promoted to serve at the King’s chamber and attended to the King’s daily needs. After the death of the King Rama VI, Chao Khun Nor was devastated. He left the palace in BE 2468.
His parents wanted him to get married with a lady teacher after seeing Chao Khun Nor was in lament over the death of the King. However, before the marriage would be engaged, Chao Khun Nor told his parents that he wanted to enter monkshood.
Chao Khun Nor ordained on 23th March BE 2468 at Wat Thepsirintravas, a day before King Rama VI was cremated. He became a monk as thamboon (making a merit) for the King Rama VI. Chao Khun Nor was a devoted vegetarian who consumed only a meal a day and decided never to leave the monkshood. He was ordained by Somdej Phra Buddha Ko-sacharn (Charoen), who was also his preceptor. Phra Putwiriyaaigon, the abbot of Wat Sommanatwiharn and Phra Udon Seelahkon Wat Thepsirin were the Dhamma teachers.
STRICT OBSERVANCE OF THE 227 PRECEPTS
It is widely believed that Chao Khun Nor could accurately predict the future by looking at finger and palm prints. When the villagers heard of that ability, all of them flocked to the temple asking him to tell them their future but they were declined by Chao Khun Nor. Despite that, many people continued to visit Chao Khun Nor very often even though they know that they will most probably go back empty handed. They all came for an assortment of reasons ranging from offering presents, to seek a guidance about their problems and to ask Chao Khun Nor about their future lives. Chao Khun Nor was very uncomfortable, pity and sad with all these human beings.
When the villagers offered things to Chao Khun Nor, Chao Khun Nor advised them to bring those to other monks as he strictly observed the 227 provisions of moral precepts. Chao Khun Nor also mentioned that one would similarly accumulate merits when giving offerings to other monks. This made the villagers unhappy and felt that Chao Khun Nor looked down on them. They people brought the matter up to Somdej Phra Buddha Kosacharn (Charoen).
When Somdej Phra Buddha Kosacharn heard this, he asked Chao Khun Nor about this matter. Chao Khun Nor explained that the reason he did not accept the offerings or attendance from the villagers because he was ordained for the purpose of making a merit to King Rama VI. Besides that, he also needed to maintain good concentration in order to study the teachings of Buddhism. In order to succeed, he needed to have no connections to the outside world. All the people who came to visit him brought along the troubles of the world, which adversely affected his concentration. When Somdej Phra Buddha Kosacharn heard his reason, he sympathized and agreed with him.
Chao Khun Nor had strictly observed the 227 precepts, he did not accept any form of offerings from the villagers. The room in which he lived was very empty and consisted of only the basic necessities. There was even no electric lighting. Chao Khun Nor did all his readings in the daytime. When Chao Khun Nor went back to his room, he would lock the door and stay inside. No one ever knew what he did in his room and he never came out to receive guests. He never accepted anything from anyone with the exception of his nephew who would bring vegetarian food from his mother. Chao Khun Nor spent most of his time in his monk’s house.
At the temple, they placed some skeletons of dead people to aid the monks in the development of their insight. The intention was to remind the monks that the female body would eventually resemble this ugly state so that they will refrain from sex and impure thoughts as well as to reinforce the rule of impermanence. LP Parn of Wat Bang Nom Kho Ayutthaya also practiced in such a manner.
WATER AFTER WASHING CHAO KHUN NOR’S FEET COULD CURE SICKNESS
It is a daily routine for Chao Khun Nor to walk back to the monk’s house. There were 2 things that were significantly different with him. Firstly, he did not wear any slippers like the villagers and walked around barefeet. The second and most remarkable was that he always walked on tip-toes and his heels never touched the ground. No one knows why he walked like that but it was assumed that it was a kind exercise for his leg muscles. Before stepping into the monk’s house, he would wash his feet in a basin and dry them.
A village was hit by a deadly disease and one of the villagers was instructed to bring an empty bottle to Chao Khun Nor to ask for some holy water to try to cure his fellow villagers but was declined. The villager had no idea what to do and how to get holy water from CKN to appease the villagers. Out of desperation, he decided to take water from the basin used for washing Chao Khun Nor’s feet and brought it back to his place to give to the sick. Nobody knew the origins of the water and what it was used for. After those sick people drank the water which they thought was holy water given by Chao Khun Nor, all of them were miraculously cured. This greatly puzzled the man who brought back that water to the village.
When this rumor spread out, people who heard it, then all rushed towards Wat Thepsirin to ask Chao Khun Nor for this special holy water but he denied having given any to anyone much to their disappointment. When the villagers heard Chao Khun Nor’s reply, they were all very confused as to where the holy water came from.
The monk staying next to Chao Khun Nor couldn’t stand it anymore as more and more people flocked to the temple and decided to clarify to the villagers once and for all that Chao Khun Nor had never given any holy water to anyone. However, there was one man who came to beg for it but was declined. He also witnessed the same man taking the water from Chao Khun Nor’s feet washing basin but at that time, he did not know what the man was doing.
When the origins of the “holy water” was established, all the villages rushed to take water from the basin. Some waited around for it to be filled up and immediately emptied the basin. This made it a very hectic job for the person responsible for topping up the basin as he had to do it numerous times a day. Finally, the basin was placed in Chao Khun Nor’s room to stop all trouble.
MIRACLE AT THE AMULETS BLESSING CEREMONIES
There were reports of strange incidents happening when Chao Khun Nor made incantations. On the fateful day of Saturday, 25th April BE2513, a photographer was assigned to take photographs of him consecrating a batch of amulets and was busy snapping pictures of the long and elaborate process until it was finished. After the photographs were developed, there was something strange and remarkable about a picture in which Chao Khun Nor was sprinkling holy water on the amulets. The wooden brush that was used to sprinkle holy water emitted white light from its tip. There were many people who were present at the ceremony but the light was not seen by anyone there. It only showed up on the picture. Everyone was amazed as they could not find any logical explanation for this. However, everyone agreed that it could not have been caused by the actual physical sprinkling of holy water itself.
There was another strange incident on Saturday, 5th December BE 2513. There was a big ceremony at Wat Thepsirin and many people came to witness the event. Chao Khun Nor announced that it was going to be the last time he was going to make incantations for the blessing of amulets. In a photograph, the flames from the candles which were lined up directly in front of the principle Buddha statue were “swaying” as if there was a strong wind blowing. However, all the windows and doors were shut during that time and there was no wind at all. The flames should have been completely still. Everyone who was at the ceremony were astonished when the picture was shown. This particular picture was taken when Chao Khun Nor was making incantations in front of the principal Buddha image in a temple and Chao Khun Udomsarasophon was blessing the amulets with holy water.
Based on the pictorial evidence taken during the ceremony, there was widespread belief that the strange incidents were the result that Chao Khun Nor was already an arhat.

Akalain mo, may silbi ang stock ko ng beep card dito? Magkakaubusan pala sa taong 2022?
Excited akong umalis kasi marami akong beep card pero sakto walang LRT 1 ngayon at bukas. Lahat ng istasyon sarado, kaya lahat ng tao nag-aabang ng jeep.
After 2000 hours later, nakasakay din ako ng jeep pa-Recto, lumipat sa isa pang jeep pa-Morayta, at nakarating sa tapat ng PRC. Sabi sa room 314 pumunta, pero pagdating ko, sarado ang 314 at 315. Sabi ng random kuya na may malasakit, sa 316 ako pumunta, kaso nakasulat doon e "photography" kaya hindi ako pumasok.
Tama pala si kuya. May mag-aassist daw sa loob. Sabi ng nag-assist, dun ako pumunta sa gitnang pila. 'Di naman ako nagtanong ano 'yung mga pila. Akala ko same lang silang lahat. LOL.
Pagdating sa dulo, noong ako na, "Ay, physician ka po? Dun po sa kabila."
Para akong nasa 1990s, paper-based pa rin ang lahat. Ako na lang dapat ang naging project manager para tapos na itong lahat. Charot.
P.S. Kailangan ko pa raw bumalik dyan pag pipick up-in ko na 'yung pictures.
