Some medicne-related stuff now. With dad and mom, we’re trying to purchase more lots of vitamins and natural integrators to help our patients fight most common but insidious issues, like insomnia and accelerated aging caused by stress and heavy workloads. We found out melatonin to be a good anti-oxidant and a pretty effective remedy to insomnia (it helps regulate sleep), so we ordered a batch of melatonin uk bottles. In the UK, yes, because there’s only one shop, online, that sells them; it’s almost impossible to find in Europe and in UK, alas. The melatonin uk we’re getting is from Vitasunn.co.uk, an online store I mentioned already in a previous post, where dad and I place our orders. Now it’s also our unique melatonin uk supplier.

So, Merry Christmas guys! I know, this is a weird Christmas entry, but you know… I’m a weirdo. Will post soon about everything Christmas and family and good things. I’m off to sleep now, ’cause it’s almost midnight here. *mwah*

Regarding my work in Med Bay, dad said we cannot buy dhea in Europe or in the UK, so we must import that product from Vitasunn. I hope our beloved patients will be so… well… patient indeed – because it may take some time for the goods to come in the mail. I told one of these guys (all external to Robocity, but at least they’re paying customers) that Vitasunn is the best dhea uk dealer available, but that importing to Italy takes time and therefore he needs to wait OR he can ask/order dhea somewhere else. Ah! Us Robocitans are serious people, you know?

I’m glad Danielle (danielle.so-pink.org) and Ambrosia (ambry.phinkable.org) are volunteering with me in Med Bay now. They’re a big help, lovely persons and great workers. So good that daddy allowed them in the team! It’s a relief for my mom too, who can finally hit the bed when she comes from her hospital work instead of doing double shifts here in Robocity too. Hehe. ^^’

Thanks to Vitasunn.co.uk for inspiring this post.

With today’s information highway it seems there is an endless supply of resources for you to learn from.  What would be great is if these resources were easy to find.  When you need to study for college or licensing exams knowing exactly where to go would be very helpful.  So we are here to help you study to be a Medical Lab Tech.  We have found some fantastic sites for you to check out when you are studying.  The best part is they are absolutely free!  Read on to see where to find them.

Six Savvy and Free Online Study Resources for Medical
Lab Techs

1. http://www.cdc.gov – Centers for Disease control and Prevention.  This is a government run website.  It has up to date information and photos.  It also has publications and health and safety topics.  This site is worth a visit  to see what kind of information they have for you.
2. http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/webpath.html – The Mercer University School of Medicine, School of Pathology Laboratory for Medical Education.  This website is for individuals interested in Pathology, which is a big part of the Medical Lab Techs job.  The site has pictures that you can view with just a click of the button.  It should give you a different perspective than the pictures you are viewing in your own classroom or textbook.  Since cells have a way of presenting themselves differently, you can never have enough examples to reference for your studies.
3. http://www.merckmanuals.com/home/appendixes/
   ap2/ap2a.html – This is the Merck Manual website.  The page given in this is for common medical tests.  From here you can navigate your way through lots of information pertaining to the Medical Lab Tech’s job.  With some savvy internet skills you will be able to access a ton of study resources here.
4. http://laboratorian.advanceweb.com/Student-New-Grad-Center/default.aspx – this is the ADVANCE for Medical Laboratory Professionals web site.  It is completely free to subscribe to.  You just need to log in with a user name and password.  This site offers a lot of articles for you to read.  What we liked most about this site is that it has blogs and forums for you to interact with professionals and students, just like you, and you can learn a bit from them when you have specific questions.
5. http://www.clinicallabtesting.com/sites/clc.nsf/page/
   students – this website has loads of free information.  You can become a member if you would like to.  There is a charge for membership but they do offer a free 30 day trial to see if you like their services.  With out purchasing a membership you are still allowed to reference some of their reference pages.
6. Your College or Class website - This is always a great resource when you are a student.  Your professor should have on that site the information that they want you to know and how to find it.

Mary Lisa is extremely interested in blogging about medical training and offers helpful information for students who would like to learn more about medical laboratory technician training.

School is long over. The last day was on the 13th of June, and I’m so glad it didn’t end with a crapload of homework this year. I had nothing to do this morning, so I spent it helping dad with needle disposals, since Robocity Medical Bay is filled with used needles by now. We had no time to dispose of them last month, as there were a lot of immigrants joining the community and my parents barely had the time to put things in order after daily check-ups. Besides, one of our fellow citizens is pregnant with her first child, therefore she needs constant care.

Besides the inside crowd, last week I volunteered full time to help dad in Med Bay with outsiders too. In fact, we gave hospitality to a couple of old men my mom found in the street, completely drunk. Maybe Perceptor should be in charge of random outsiders’ care because my parents are stressed lately. Mom in particular, since she works full-time in another hospital.

On another note, I’m going to turn 9 this year on December. W00t! :3 Can’t believe it, especially since I started blogging at age of 5. Amazing.

I have spent the day reading web hosting news to get an idea, but I don’t know yet. All the providers listed on the site, and the tips on their blog, they’re all good… but it’s all still out of budget for me. I wonder if I’m not asking for too much perhaps….? I know my parents can’t afford paying a hosting account for me, and I have to manage it all on my own. I might ask Jazz to help me out with this project, but he’s always so busy with his family and his things, that he doesn’t even get much online anymore. He hasn’t updated his website in months, so I guess he’s got no much time to dedicate to me right now.

Oh well, I’ll get to sort things out, eventually. The transition would cause a loss of rankings on all fronts of course, but it would just be temporary, so I ain’t worrying too much. One has to face all consequences of a choice. ^^ This uni.cc domain will STAY as a collective, so it won’t be wasted. I just really need a change, and I hope my friends are going to understand my reasons.

Now, wish me luck, because I have NO idea where to start looking for a good domain name! XD Ahah. Suggestions are welcome!

It’s important that we all understand that these people who are suffering from addiction are not necessarity criminals. Often time they are simply persons who have lost their faith in life, their sense of belonging and of living, consequentely to a job or dear person loss, discrimination, sense of inadequacy or disadaptation issues. What these people need is a gradual, specific drug rehab that would help them come out of the addiction, finding new reasons to live a normal life, without the help of substances that alter the perception of the world, creating the illusion of a happy life that was meant to fill the gap left in real life. Because THAT is why people go on drugs and/or alcohol dependancy: they try to find the happiness they need to go on with life in ‘masks’ given by these substances.

That is why addiction treatment requires gradual counseling, whose goal is to rehabilitate the addicted person to re-gain self-consciousness, self-confidence, control over the addiction, and ability to communicate with others. So you see, counseling is a delicate matter, and pushing too much could cause more harm than good.

My father is collaborating with the rehab center in Genzano to help these persons re-aquire self-esteem and a love for life that they’ve lost in their addiction, and I’m volunteering as well, doing what I can and helping spread the word about this. If you want to help too, just refer to this blog entry. This is a first step to fight discrimination against so-called ‘criminals’ who aren’t criminals at all: just poor people who are in desperate need of help and understanding.

However, the celebration is not what I’m going to talk about in this entry. This is about something more serious, on which I’m currently working together with my father at his lab researches. It’s about alchool and drug addiction.

The reason why I’m prioritizing this project as an entry subject is the following: too many of my and my father’s friends, especially outside our city, are suffering the consequences that alchool and drug addiction brought to their lives. Most of them are under drug treatment at a rehab center now, while others are still wandering around, on and off on their doses. That is what pushed my father and I to work together on a sensibilization project in collaboration with a rehab center in Genzano, the city that hosts Robocity. Our aim is to spread the word about the damanges that alchool abuse and drug addiction can cause to people’s brains and metabolism, as well as more serious consequences that can lead to death: liver cancer, allucinations, dependance, and fetal malformations if used during pregnancy. And there’s a lot more to that.

Often times, people who make use of these substances are living through a though time, such like disoccupation, job loss, a dear person’s death, some kind of serious depression, desperation. So, the first thing we’re going to do together with the drug rehab center is to – first – offer consulence and psychological help, and – second – find a proper addiction treatment for each specific case.

Addiction is a serious issue, guys. Be careful, and if you have any friends or relatives suffering from abstinence or other symptoms, refer them to a local rehab center with psychological consulence. The first step is always to understand what’s going on before action is taken.

NEWS SOURCES
Usually I watch big news on TV with my parents, or I read Yahoo news before logging on my email account. But I do a selection, because there are things that disturb me too much (like photos of cruent deaths, etc.), and I don’t want to be bothered. >.<

SURROGATES
Never – and I mean never! – I would like to be someone else’s surrogate. Especially when it comes to love and friendship feelings. We are all unique people, and we should be loved and cared for for what we really are, not for what we represent. Even twins are different. That is the truth. As for the ’surrogate mother’ issue, I don’t think that’s a right thing, both for the birth mother and the baby. Because through pregnancy, the first emotional attachments are born too. It’s a very delicate matter..

CHRISTMAS TIME!
Yay for Christmas time! It’s a wonderful period of the year that I love spending together with my family, close friends, and my girlfriend too. Exchanging gifts is part of the beauty and the fun, and then there’s the religious part for those who believe too. I’ve been at that Mass once, and it was very warm and heartfelt. So sweet indeed. Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it!!



WEDDINGS
I don’t think I’ve gone to many weddings during my few years of life. I barely remember about one or two happened here in Robocity, but I’m not too sure. Far as my memory goes, they were ordinary Italian weddings, with the added bonus of an ‘all Robocitan’ celebration, like a Robocity Leader as the ‘priest’. We are a people of a kind, ahah!

IF I WERE A TEACHER…
… I surely wouldn’t want my students to sadden because of a stupid joke (like telling them I wouldn’t be their teacher next semester just to see what they do). And I would try and strive every day to be a better teacher, helping them through their problems and difficulties, and never give them tough exams just for sake of discouraging them. I hate that when it happens.

PACKING FOR A TRIP
Oooh it can get so long at times! Especially if it’s a trip I really care about, then I wouldn’t stop checking and re-checking that I got everything before leaving. XD I’d start packing three days earlier just to make sure I don’t forget anything, ahah. Better safe than sorry, they say.

Why do I love blogging?

I started blogging back on 2007 because I wanted to let my feelings and emotions out in a place where people could share these same feelings with me. I used to keep paper diaries before (and I still do!) but they are very private, they can’t be shared. Blogging is fun and lets me meet people all around the universe, both humans and robots and aliens, and I really cherish this great possibility that only the Internet can give. I don’t want to stop blogging, because it releases my stress, and because I never want to give up on my online friends, never ever!

I would like to pass this award to:

• Rony
• Kerri
• Jeanie
• Jazzy
• Oppy
• Midnight
• Omega
• Ambry
• Sele

Anyway, I took the occasion to talk about “going green” with my parents today. I suggested buying a dual flush toilet online, on dualflushkit.com. It’s so cheap, and I think it can help a lot with saving water and… water bills! Hehe! Dual flush toilets seem to be so fun to use too! XD But you know, what I thought to be more touching about this company is the school program they’re sponsoring. Funding for schools (and charities too!) is generated through the sale of SelectAFlush’s, a device developed by dualflushkit.com to help save water. Go DualFlushKit! I hope it sells so many devices and help many poor people and schools in the world!

I suggested my friend Rebecca (Jazz’s girlfriend) to buy baby memory books from Posylane because they are so cute and they would make wonderful memory keepsakes for Radek’s and Silver’s milestones. As for myself, I need to check out a couple of laundry bags for my mom and dad, and a kids backpack for myself and bro Wheeljack. There’s so much to choose from, and I need to pick up something for my girlfriend too.

Sorry about the short update. I’ll write something more soon! ;D

I’m also thinking of signing up for programs that will let me Increase blog traffic: like Entrecard for instance, and to register on more blog directories.

We’ve got a few buddies here in my town who are having financial troubles again. Debt consolidation and re-mortgage might be a good option for them, but then we need to see if the Leaders will agree on that. Because yeah, we surely don’t want to pay for loan expenses of all the other families of Robocity ^^”

Anyway, now I’m gonna nap a bit, and then I’ll phone Kerri up later. I hope she’s okay with going out, because it’s a really nice day today See ya on the next entry, kids!

To Cindy, AnMarie and Simply Precious: sorry about not commenting your blogs, girls. I’ve been reading some of your entries, but I really lacked the time to dedicate to comments. I really don’t like one-line commenting, and I always try my best to write a serious and well written comment, so for now I really can’t return. Just know that I love you though, and I love all of you my other blog buddies Never give up on me, okay? *mwah*

During my free time today, I’ve browsed online gifts sites together with my girlfriend, since a few buddies’ birthdays are approaching and we’re starting to look around for ideas. We looked at Posylane again, since Kerri really loves that site (and I do too), so here are a few nice things we thought would make cute gifts:

- monogrammed towel wraps: summer is here very soon, and it’s gonna be time for showers and time spent at the sea or the pool, why is there anything better than a towel wrap? They have very nice colors here, so we’ll have to choose;

- a nap mat for little Reddy: he’s still small enough to sleep on these, and since his daddy told me that he likes to sleep on the floor in summer because it’s chiller, I though that a nap mat would make a good and safe sleeping choice for the little sweetie :3 agree? ^^

- personalized placemats for children: yeah, they’re for children, but I thought of buying these cute plates for our Robocity Summer Events Eheh. We’ll be eating outside, and well, the majority of the Robocitans are kids, so it’d be so good to make the even more joyful with these colored things xD Hehe!

So yeah, it’s time for me to logoff again *sigh* But before I go, I want to show off my grades Haha. Really, I’m studying way too much, but when I look at these numbers I can’t help but thinking that I’m a great student XD Ahah! Here you go:

Now, I am passing this award to: Cindy, Kerri, Scarlette, Ambrosia, Cerebros, Goldbug

Yesterday my girlfriend phoned me up and told me she’d been suggested to buy something cool from a website by our friend Scarlette. I went looking on this website she’d been told about and I couldn’t help but smile ^^ Coffee sleeves, a keepsake school year book and personalized luggage wraps, huh? Really interesting xD I bet Scarlette is more of a shopaholic than I even thought, but now i can see how much of an addict my girlfriend is too o.o WOW! So yeah, maybe she’s gonna buy these things, and she asked me if I want a keepsake book too. Well, tnat’d be useful, so I said ok ^^ Can’t wait to get one!

Anyway, I’ve talked to my parents this morning, about my future plans of studying to become a medic. Dad suggested I try the HOBET or another certified examination like that. I really hope I will get a chance to study at MIT, because I’m learning a lot already from their OCW and honestly I love how they handle teaching and I think their curricola is very well structured. Anyway, that’s just a hope. I don’t know for now, either if I’m gonna get a chance to get tested with the HOBET and if I can access MIT courses. Dad and mom are going to fully support me though, so I’m happy with that Really.

Well, I’m going to cut it short for now. I promise I will update soon again, with some nice or funny news about my daily life ^^ Love ya guys & gals!

Next Tuesday I’ll go out with my dad and Wheeljack to buy a couple of super bright LEDs. For Wheeljack’s alt mode, yeah Because the little guy got them broken when he went out playing with his friends yesterday, racing for fun and all. Dear bro… ^^” Hehe.. So yeah, we’ll get him these new 12W LEDs and then we’ll stop to buy a few LED power supplies too, as we need those for our home and for the infirmary machinery. We gotta go on Tuesday because it’s Easter tonight and tomorrow and shops are closed.

So yeah, tonight I’m going to the Mass with Kerri and her mom and sister Jazz, Prowl and the kids are coming along too. I’ll be a great gathering, I’m so excited about it! x3 I wish you all a very Happy Easter and God Bless and that you can enjoy being together with your family and friends I will be blogging again in a few days. *huggles*

Anyway, I’ve just returned home from my buddy Scarlette‘s birthday. She turned 7 today, and she invited me over It was nice to see Luana and BJ again too, and the whole folk; also, I’ve made new friends (Scarlette’s schoolmates) and I hope to see them again, because they’re nice folks :3 Ah yeah.. Kerri was there, but she didn’t talk to me much; she spent more time with Scarly and her family, and okay… well… it takes time, doesn’t it? If only she wasn’t so stubborn.. T_T *sigh*

Alright I’m gonna cut it short for today because I have homework to finish for tomorrow. See ya kids..

Today some pretty bad stuff happened. I’ve assisted to probably the worse word fight ever after the one I had with Kerri the other day… and this time it was Megatron with Selenia’s step mom. And it was all over rugs. LOL. I mean… how can someone fight about things like rugs? Just because Selenia’s mom likes them so much that she bought many. Cheap rugs after all, she didn’t mean to waste Robocity’s money. But yeah, Megs took it a bit too seriously – maybe he was stressed already from school and family, as I heard some shouting from his home – and yelled at Sele’s mom that she either stops wasting money or he and the Leaders will take action against her. WHAT? o_O I never heard of such a thing before!!! And Shotty and C. Police are gonna listen to THAT?!?

Seriously, something’s going wrong with Robocitans these last few days… I don’t know what it is, maybe everyone is just a little to stressed over the financial crisis, or depressed, or they’re just lacking vitamins… I don’t know. All I know is that I need this sh*t to stop. Seriously. I have enough of fights. After what happened with Kerri, I just can’t stand people fighting, or discussing over frivolous things. Can’t you be a little more mature, people? Oh look, I thought to BE the child here… Gah. It sucks.

And I’m here at nearly midnight to post these nonsenses up. Am I following the stupidness trend too…? Dunno. Maybe I just need to vent, to write random nonsenses on this blog of mine. It’s catartic, yeah. At least I hope I’ll be able to go to sleep in a while without having my mind wandering around stupid stuff. I need my brain to shut down… I really do.

Bye kids.

I guess it’s just my fault if things happen I didn’t mean to offend Kerri at all, by accepting an invitation to a kid girl’s house; she’s just been kind, and her mom invited me over, but we’re just playmates really; we met at the park last week, and I just met her again by case yesterday. My mom and Wheeljack were there with me, so they know I didn’t have any bad intentions. But now Kerri got jealous and her mom is not allowing us to see each other, at least for now. Last night Kerri and I had a very nasty word fight, full of hurtful comments and cussing. I think I’ve never seen her crying so much, nor I did ever…

Now I only hope this isn’t gonna be the end, because really… really this is unfair. Because I’ve done nothing wrong at all *sigh*

… So yeah, I might not be around much in the next days, unless something changes. Right now I just feel like crying again. Bye, kids..

Alright, what I’m posting here is the short essay I wrote for my school IT project last year, the one I had planned to upload a long time ago Enjoy!

CPU (Central Processing Unit) might be defined the “heart of a computer”, because its purpose is to receive instructions from the computer’s memory and execute them, in order to process information. The processed data will then be put back into the memory; this procedure is called “decoding”. Speed of execution depends on the processor (which is what a CPU is – a processor because it processes information) and on how large data is. Thus, a CPU can also be compared to an engine that puts information to work.

A CPU is located at the center of a computer’s motherboard, which is what makes a computer ‘alive’ . The best way to keep a CPU “healthy” is to avoid overheating. Programs that help the user manage it are SpeedFan, which monitors the heat of all computer components, and Motherboard Monitor, which provides similar functions.

She’s 7 years old now, how cool! She’s older than me, ahah xD

She had a party here in Robocity today There were her mom and sister with Jazz, Prowl and the kids, then my parents, my bro Wheeljack and I, and Ambrosia, Ironhide, Selenia, Megatron, Goldbug, Thunder and Scarlette. Hehe, a big crew, isn’t it? Well, we had loads of fun. First, Kerri’s mom showed a biiiiig strawberry cream cake she had bought for the occasion (yeah, Kerri likes strawberry cream ); then it was funny because Unicron came later and bought his chocolate cake, totally unaware that another cake had been bought for the occasion ^^” Ahahah… if you know Unicron a bit, you can imagine what happened If not… well, he kind of felt hurt by the coincidence. Poor Uni ^^” Alright, so then we had a nice dinner consisting of super yummy food: pizza napoletana (lurve it! x9), grilled steak, salad, sushi and dressed potatoes. I never ate so much Ahah. The after dinner we sang happy birthday to Kerri, took photos and ate cake (both! xD but there were left overs of course! it was really too much!). Unicron stayed over with us and ate a lot, especially cakes LOL. When it was time to upack presents, Kerri was delight with mine. Hehe! I bought her something that she wished to have for looong time: a necklace and a charmy top from her favourite lolita shop on Ebay, “Little Chili Lolita Shop“. Hehe. She tried them on, and I took a photo of her too x3 So cute! I’ll see if I can post it by Sunday, because I still use a very old camera and I need to develop it and scan it first. *sigh* I so need a cell phone! xP
Well, we ended the party with a karaoke and a movie – High School Musical 3 – chosen by Kerri Wasn’t it just a blast, guys? I had so much fun xD And I could spend the whole afternoon and evening with my adorable girlfriend. Happy birthday darling!

As for today, it’s Megs‘ step-mom’s birthday, and I’m gonna rush to finish my homework now so I can go celebrate with them, since they invited me over See ya!

Not just a place to live in, then. Robocity is not just an object setted in a space-time continuity; Robocity is an ideal, a soul, an experience that teaches its disciples the truth behind the words “life” and “love“. I know for granted, that if I was raised and grow up in another place of this planet, I wouldn’t be the person I am nowadays. If I know what respecting life means, if I believe that peace is what every people need, if I do my best to help others every day, every moment of my life… I owe it to Robocity. If I grow up and become a better person every day, it’s because of Robocity.

Heart and reason are equally important here. Heart makes us longing to others, available to help the ones in need, ready to forgive, open to build healthy relationships to the world, and to work for peace and everyone’s wellbeing; reason guides us through the troubled times, gets our brains to work to find compromises, to mediate between different mentalities. Whoever thinks that “who was born Military will die Military” might just come over to Robocity and pay us a visit: they will make up their mind in days of time.

Nobody’s enough by themselves here. Nobody would ever survive without the sincere will of helping others and let others help them. Robocity is a community, a family, and everyone has their place in this place. Place, I said, not rank. There are no ranks here: even the three Leaders, maximum authorities ad caretakers of our city, are just like any other robot or human in here; there are no discriminations. Everyone chooses his/her place and role, and they can change it whenever they like. Robocity’s ideals are based on freedom. What keeps the community together could never be either authority, or ranks, or severe discipline: it’s the feeling of care we have for each other, and the openness to love for others. And when a heart is open to love… the greatest of miracles will happen: the good becomes the best, and the evil becomes the good.

So, what is Robocity to me after all? It’s my school of life, my temple of growth, part of my soul, a place where I can be fully myself, without masks. Sometime, when the dawn fades away to turn into blue night, I appear at the window of my room, watching the area of Robocity and its buildings change colors and shades as the sunlight dies. The most beautiful sight I could ever contemplate. And right on that moment, a thought gently stroke my mind.

That living itself is Robocity.

(I wrote this essay on February 14th, the day of the Anniversary. And here I posted it, as I promised to my fellow bloggers ^^ I won a 2nd place prize this year, 1st place was wo by Demolishor Congrats, buddy! You really deserved it!)

It was a memorable day. :heart: Firstly, Kerri had sent me a text message in the morning telling me that she’d be home for lunch. I immediately squealed out of pure joy, and that was maybe the eagerless day of school I’ve ever had XD My friends and classmates were all around me wishing me happy birthday, and when I finally came home later in the day, Kerri was indeed waiting for me already: she glomped me as soon as I stepped into my apartment. Ahah! Cute! x3 Then the yummiest part: my friend Jazz had prepared the BIGGEST chocolate cake ever for my birthday party! O_O And saying it was yummy was saying too little, because I can still feel the delicious taste in my mouth if I only let my mind go back in time. *drools* Mom and dad took a lot of photos on that day, we watched 2 movies (Save the last dance and High School Musical), I really had fun with my friends, my girlfriend and my brother. We even played Monopoli, and some construction games to do with the youngest (like Reddy). Thunder just messed up with Kerri at some point and I had to separate them. Eeew T.T But well, things went fine later. Those two just like to fight for nonsenses, trust me. ^^” I don’t remember many other details from the day, other then some sweet cuddling with Kerri before she left to go home with her mom. But yeah, it was a memorable day :3 My 6th birthday.

Think of it… I’m 6 years and 3 months old by now! XD Ahah! And yet I feel so old o_O Yeah, it’s true! I always feel older than my classmates and my friends… Bah! I might just be too serious for my age, yeah.

Oh well, see you on the next post, kiddies :3 And happy Women’s Day too all women and girls!
Bye!
