Puuikibeach: Hahaha, yeah. It’s the only way I can accept the cost of my hospital bills.

I’ve just bought another Pinky T_T *sigh* There goes my resolve. Hahaha

I guess I haven’t checked it in a while.

I’m sorry to hear about your hospitalization… but highly amused that you’re counting it as a “trip” for this year!

I totally understand about using the credit cards too much. And yes, Pinky:st figures can easily become a significant part of that credit card balance! I need to cool it for a while with the cards myself.

I’m really happy you’re feeling better. I’m looking forward to photos and commentary from your next trip… which had better not include hospitals!

Take care! — D

I have found your blog from BnA (mwah hah hah). Kawawa naman, I didn’t know you had pneumonia, girl! Brutal! But I can’t imagine that would prevent you from getting a visa anywhere, don’t worry.

Two of my sisters don’t have health insurance & I worry about them. I don’t know what happens when one doesn’t have it, but it’s terrible to consider.

Wasn’t able to take pictures much though 🙁

There was a joke that in Manila, you’d die first before they’d admit you to the hospital with all that red tape. Not sure if that’s true. But I do think they’d administer emergency aid if you arrived all bloody and chopped up.

Even pregnant women don’t stay that long in hospitals! At least you had cable & all your friends kept you company. 😉 You didn’t bring a pinky or two w/ ya?!?

After reading your entry & how much it costs to stay at the hospital, I have a question: what happens to a person who’s on the verge of death & they don’t have any money to pay? Or no relatives? What about medical insurance? Do they just let them die w/out trying to save them?
