Hello New Year!
General | Posted 14 years agoสวัสดีปีใหม่!
Happy New year!
Happy New year!
lol, I'm put in charge of the pet reproduction class.
General | Posted 14 years agoSo me and my friends were deciding which person should be in charge of teaching everyone each subject. Because it's easier to read one subject intensely and teach everyone, then sit back and be taught about other ones by everyone else. There are Ruminant Medicine(Lab&Lect), Dog Cat Diseases(3-5), Aquatic medicine, Poultry Medicine, Small Animal Surgery, and lastly, Dog cat reproduction.
I was away for just one minute, and they decided on their own.
I walked in, everyone pointed at me and said "Reproduction!"
me : O_o wut?
Friend : You're the only one in the group that can talk about this subject in a scientific manner without be all naughty in the middle of the lessons!
Me : I'm not sure if that's true...
Friend : I'm sure it's true. It's decided.
Me : Okay....Oh well, I guess I can take that subject.
So today's lab was about male reproductive system. The Professors provided us some...fresh...specimen... of the male canine and feline on a few trays, fresh from the hospital. They have us palpated them, remember the feeling, the consistency, and the normal sizes and shapes.
...I can't help but wonder... what would it feel like to squeeze and pop them? They feel so...pop-able.
damn. I was so determined to not feel naughty in classes.
When we're done, they wanted us to dissect them.....I sliced it open in two right in the middle just to see what's inside. (It's different than when I did it in Anatomy class 2 years ago because this time, they're fresh, not fixed in Formalin. )
And I feel it again. The you-know-what feeling.
The funny thing is, I was able to hold back everything when they want us to examine the live specimen.........living dogs. I can perform physical examination of THE whole system thoroughly without being distracted by the thoughts. I did it like it's natural thing. It's what vets do and what I'll be doing routinely in the future.
Hahaha, so my friends are half-true then. I didn't tell them about my weird fetish of course.
Oh, and I took some pictures. :/
for education, of course.
This is why I don't allow anyone to touch my camera. I don't want to mentally scar anyone for life.
PS. Commission is still closed. I want to draw... I can't.... Must draw....Can't breath.... Let me breath for a moment....

It works now
General | Posted 14 years agoAfter my awesome boyfriend helped me uninstall and re-install the driver for the third time. My new Wacom Bamboo is now working perfectly!
Thank you, everyone! for trying to help!
Also, class starts. Let me see how busy I'll become for about 2 weeks. If I think I can handle it, I might just open commission again......perhaps.
...because drawing is my way of relieving stress.

New Wacom Bamboo pressure won't work. HELP! PLEASE!
General | Posted 14 years agoSo my old trusty Genius Tablet died. My awesome dad got me a Bamboo.
As much excited as I am right now, The pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to work. a real bummer I say.
I tried on Photoshop CS3. The shape dynamic is set to "pen pressure" but there's a triangle with a "!" inside near it. (Like a Warning sign.)
So I suspect that PS CS3 might not detect my new tablet.
I'm using Windows 7.
I disabled "Tablet PC input service" in the Windows. ( To prevent the program from interfering with my tablet. )
I tried re-installing the driver. Still doesn't work.
Now I don't know what to do... There's no other way to test if the pressure is working at all. I only have CS3 to test it with.
but I'm pretty sure the hardware is fine. It worked fine on some test-program when I purchased it.

Lucid dreams
General | Posted 14 years agoAfter watching a VDO on Youtube (Vsauce's channel) about dreaming, about a month ago. I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a lucid dream. A dream that you know you're dreaming. And you have control over what happens in the dream.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream
I had a lucid dream last night.
The first thing I remember, was that I lost a tooth.
I dreamed that I lost my teeth quite many times before this one. Never before that I ever realized that I was dreaming, even though the dream seems to repeat itself several times. (Fortunately, it's not repeating every night in a row. It's like...once in a few months.)
This time, somehow, I decided that I might be dreaming. So I ran to a mirror and checked my teeth. I saw that I lost 4 of my teeth. This confirmed my suspicion that I was, indeed, dreaming. Since I only remember losing one, how in the real world can I have lost 4 in an instant? without knowing it?
Unlike many people might believe, I could feel pain in my previous dreams. So I didn't pinch myself to check. Instead, I did what I always wanted to try if I ever going to have a lucid dream.
I tried to defy gravity. XDDDD
I jumped, and attempted to fly. However, I wasn't able to really fly away, but I could defy gravity a little, my "fall" was slowed down significantly, like I was hovering before my feet touched the ground. I was amused by this phenomena.
I got outside of the house and tried again and again. It seems that I have some control over my dream but not completely. No matter how I tried, I couldn't fly away to the sky like I was hoping to do. (But the hovering was fun enough.)
I decided to try something more .... "dangerous". ( What? I was certain I was dreaming! It wouldn't really be dangerous, right? ) I went to a bridge, looked down, there was some kind of a forest down there. I didn't remember how I get there. It's like I teleported to the place that I thought I wanted to be at. (another confirmation of my dreaming state.) I was going to jump off the bridge in an attempt to fly upwards. Suddenly, out of nowhere, my mom appeared and jumped on me. (The most unrealistic event in that dream. O_o ) I jumped anyway, and I strained so hard to fly up, I failed. I was falling/hovering downward due to the extra weight, almost like a broken plane. I was gliding forward... and downward.... and when I was about to reach the forest ground, the only thought that went in my mind was....
"Oh man, this is going to hurt."
(not because of the fall, but because my mom was soooo going to sandwich me to the ground. And as I said before, I could feel pain in my previous dream. I still remember that.)
I woke up.
That was fun.

Rant, How do you feel when a random stranger...
General | Posted 14 years ago...treats you like a pet?
http://comments.deviantart.com/1/27.....169/2299568496
How did I feel?
I'm enraged. If it was IRL the hand that patted me would have been bitten off.
Warning: I'm about to rant.
The first thing that ticked me off, is the first impression.
That's guy's English is so poor, yet it doesn't feel like he's non-native speaker. I am a non-native speaker, yet my English is better than his.
He's there to compliment my art. Okay, That's good. I was quite lonely on my DA account anyways. I only post clean art there, that's probably the problem. ( lol ) So I appreciate every comment I get, positive and negative. I answered like I always do, I said thanks, I answered his question about how I paint fur.
What kind of respond do I expect?
1. No response. That actually happen a lot, I'm very used to it.
2. Thanks for answering the question. That'd be great.
3. Ask more questions about the method. That'd be awesome. I might just tell him more about my method if he's interested to learn.
What kind of response did I get?
"goodie tiger *pat pat*"
...I'm enraged. That was completely rude and uncalled for. He's a complete stranger and he has no excuse to act close to me like that. That kind of response should be from someone who taught me something and I successfully master the lesson, or from a satisfied commissioner, .... or from someone who tells me to do something. and I did it successfully...someone ABOVE me in rank. Or at the very least, from a close friend who said that as a joke.
This. Random. Stranger, whose art isn't even as good as mine, treated me like I was his pet, implied that I was lower in rank than him. May be unintentionally, but
I. Am. Enraged.
It took me so much patience to keep myself from rampaging him with all of the bad words that I know. I thought I was an expert in dealing with DA drama while keeping my composure ( I was in a lot of DA dramas. ) but this... this isn't even a drama. but it pissed me off....so....much.
Okay, so is this normal for you people? To just go around typing about patting strangers in the head? Or am I just having a culture shock? Because where I'm from, "respect" is very important.

Commission status
General | Posted 14 years agoALL DONE! :D
Commission status and other stuff{Badminton}
General | Posted 14 years ago
Hidan sketched. :DAnd there's another commissioner that I'm not sure if he'd like to stay anonymous or not. We're discussing.
================================================
WARNING: Story of my life, may be a pointless read for some.
I think I've never tell you this, but I'm a Badminton freak.
At my old home, all of the kids there have a set of Badminton bat and shuttle cock in their houses. Everyone would go out and play every evening. It has became part of my life.
I can almost compare our village to some kind of a sport anime. Everyone has their special moves. I too had one. even the smallest kid who can come out to the street had one. We also name our special moves. XD It's so fun when we shout while we play.
Then one day, I went to a month-long internship. And I came back with one arm more-or-less broken. And my arm is never the same since then.
Funny thing is, I got to work with horses, but I broke my arm while I was cycling.
From right then, Badminton was a no-go. I feel like part of me is missing.
Then, I moved.
The new home has no such thing like what the old home has. I miss this part of my life so much...
After I was fully healed, I tried to play with my bf. but I hurt my elbow in the process... I got too scared to play again for a while.
After a year and 6 months. I'm finally brave enough to play badminton again.
My elbow's full-extended angle has changed. I feel like I have to start over. My skills are still there, but I have to re-learn everything because I can't just move the same way and expect to hit the cock since my arm won't be moving to the same place than before I broke my arm.
*sigh... I lost all my special moves. I can't do it anymore, at least for now. I miss them.
Now the kids around my new home have noticed me. They aren't Badminton freaks like the kids at my old home. But at least they know how to play. and that's the first step for me to come back.
I shall be back.....soon.
I finished ALL commissions! XD
General | Posted 14 years agoAnd now I'm accepting new orders if anyone is interested! :D
The school day have been postponed (again) to Dec. 13th. So.... more free time for me!

The flood is preventing me from going anywhere.
I need to earn money because food is 3 times more expensive than usual.
University classes are postponed to Nov. 14th. I still have 10 days of staying home.
Those are the reasons I'm opening commissions again.
:D order away!

Flood water and tap water
General | Posted 14 years agoTap water tastes like rust.
I knew because I brush my teeth this morning.
Hey, If I suddenly disappeared, I might have been evacuated.

Sh*t is getting real. more and more real every hour.
My house is relatively safe. So I'll be out to help move wild animals for the Department of National Parks. They're calling out for vets students. Date and time is still unknown.

Massive flood in my country.
General | Posted 14 years ago...is making my school days postponed....twice.
This problem might be really really minor compared to what's going on, but I assure you this is not good news.
I have prepared water, food, and moved all non-water-proof furniture upstairs. Water mass in coming this way. The prediction is within 7-10 days. The water level could be up to waist level.
In my life, this is the biggest natural (?) disaster I've ever faced.

Vet stories, my first night shift
General | Posted 14 years agoSo, I was on night shift last night. ( And will be on tonight too. )
I was writing plans and checking up on the pets when there's an emergency from the front.
It's a medium sized dog, he has severe ascites ( abdominal fluid ). His belly is so full of fluids that it's swollen to the maximum. I can't even poke my finger in it because it feels like it's about to burst.
So, we put him on the table, have him lay on his side, and do the abdominocenthesis ( using a needle to suck the fluids out of the abdomen. )
The process took us 3 hours. With the result of 5 liters of fluids.
Wow...
After that I continue the checking up of the pets inside the hospital. I was done at 3 o' clock. And I went to have some rest (SLEEPING!) and woke up at 6. lol.

Vet stories, Ew! eww! eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
General | Posted 14 years agoSo many ewwy stories today...
I was restraining a cat to give him a subcutaneous shot.
The cat hissed and meow in a threatening way very loudly.
Before I was able to do anything, he peed all over the table. emptying his bladder like he was holding it just for this.
Vet nurse helped me clean the table. and then he helped my restrain the cat instead, so I can give the shot.
before I was able to do anything, he pooped. Emptying his bowels like he was holding it just for this!
( I successfully gave him the shot after the mess was cleaned. )
Midnight is a dog who was hit by car 3 days ago. She has vertebrae luxation and low platelet count.
She's laying in her cage peacefully when I came into the room and greet her.
Me : Hello there, Midnight! Did you have a good sleep?
Midnight : *vomits blood*
Me : *freaked out* OH MY GOODNESS! MIDNIGHT IS VOMITING BLOOD!
( She was later referred to another bigger hospital. )
Nina is a temple dog ( more or less stray ). She was brought to hospital for her abnormal weakness.
I examine her physical status, and found that she's pale. Probably from anemia.
Vet : Okay, let's give her a detailed examination!
Me : Okay, doc!
Vet nurse : What the....
The vet nurse spotted a big fat tick!
Vet nurse : It's a tick! .... She has ticks!
The vet nurse spread Nina's toes, revealing a dozen of engulfed ticks between her toes.
everyone in the room : EEEWWWW!!!!
Vet : Now I know why she's pale...
( Everyone helped removing the ticks physically from every of her spaces between her every toes and from every of her skin fold. We put the removed ticks on a scotch tape. Which we had to use more than a foot of tape to hold all the ticks that we get. Nina got a medication to kill the parasites later on. )

Vet nurse helped me clean the table. and then he helped my restrain the cat instead, so I can give the shot.
before I was able to do anything, he pooped. Emptying his bowels like he was holding it just for this!
( I successfully gave him the shot after the mess was cleaned. )
Midnight is a dog who was hit by car 3 days ago. She has vertebrae luxation and low platelet count.
She's laying in her cage peacefully when I came into the room and greet her.
Me : Hello there, Midnight! Did you have a good sleep?
Midnight : *vomits blood*
Me : *freaked out* OH MY GOODNESS! MIDNIGHT IS VOMITING BLOOD!
( She was later referred to another bigger hospital. )
Nina is a temple dog ( more or less stray ). She was brought to hospital for her abnormal weakness.
I examine her physical status, and found that she's pale. Probably from anemia.
Vet : Okay, let's give her a detailed examination!
Me : Okay, doc!
Vet nurse : What the....
The vet nurse spotted a big fat tick!
Vet nurse : It's a tick! .... She has ticks!
The vet nurse spread Nina's toes, revealing a dozen of engulfed ticks between her toes.
everyone in the room : EEEWWWW!!!!
Vet : Now I know why she's pale...
( Everyone helped removing the ticks physically from every of her spaces between her every toes and from every of her skin fold. We put the removed ticks on a scotch tape. Which we had to use more than a foot of tape to hold all the ticks that we get. Nina got a medication to kill the parasites later on. )
Vet stories, don't hurt my Pritzie!
General | Posted 14 years agoThe owner walked in, holding her long haired small dog in her arm. She's seems to be some kind of a millionaire who loves her dog more than her servant...
Owner : Hello doctor, I'm here with my Pritzie today.
Me : *thinks* the name sounds like "pretty", but not quite...
Vet : Hello, what seems to be the problem?
Owner : It's this, I gave her a bath earlier and I noticed a bump under her skin here!
Vet : Please let me see.
The vet palpated the mass.
Vet : Could I shave her hair around the mass? It should help me see better.
Owner : Why? You don't need to see better, you're touching it already!
Vet : I'm touching it now but I can't measure it when it's covered in fur. Other vets might miss it if you came back tomorrow.
Owner : Isn't there anyway...
Vet : I highly recommend it, please?
The conversation lasted for many minutes before the owner allows the vet to shave.
Owner : Okay, fine.
Owner : *talked to her dog* Don't worry Pritzie! I'll give you a shirt later! This way you won't have to be embarrassed!
*The vet shaved and palpated the mass again*
*from my point of view, the mass looks like ... a tumor mass.( I didn't touch it ) *
Vet : This is definitely a mass, but there are many kinds of masses and each kind has its own way of treatment. I'd like do a biopsy to study its cytology...
Owner : Biopsy? Does it hurt?!
Vet : well,...
Owner : She has just recovered from a mammary gland tumor surgery! I will NOT allow you to hurt her more!
Me : *Thinking* Then that mass could be... cancer.
Owner : There are many ways of healing swellings like this, right? So why don't we try the way that doesn't hurt first?! Give her a topical medicine or something!
Vet : But I...
Owner : Let's try the way that doesn't hurt first. Is there a type of mass the heals without puncturing it?
Vet : Well, if it's just some inflammation...
Owner : Inflammation! that must be it! So how do you heal inflammation?
Vet : ice packs and anti-swelling medicine.
Owner : I'll take 'em.
Vet : but I highly recommend that we find out what kind of mass it is so we can cure it specifically and effectively.
Owner : I think that can wait. I'd like to try treating it assuming that it's inflammation.
Vet : ...okay... So I'll make an appointment next week. I'll measure the mass's size now and If the mass isn't smaller than today I'M going to do biopsy. NO BUTS THIS TIME!
Owner : Thanks doc!
*the owner left the room*
The vet turned to talk to me
Vet : That totally won't work.
Me : That's what I think.
Owner : Hello doctor, I'm here with my Pritzie today.

Vet stories, hamster, EMERGENCY SNAKE BITE!
General | Posted 14 years agoOwner : Doc! My hamster is acting weird! He's restless and he pees all over the places! He's never been like this.
Vet : *thinking* What could have caused this...
Vet : Please wait for a minute.
-vet went back to discuss this matter with other vets. I waited with the owner -
Owner : hm... what is this?
-owner pokes inside the hamster cage-
Owner : It must be this!
Vet : *is back*
Owner : Doc! I think it must be this! His toy is broken! His running wheel isn't working.
Vet : Let me see. *fixes*
The Hamster went to run in the wheel, went back to say something in front of the vet, went back to run in the wheel.
Owner : He's completely heal! Thanks doc!
Vet : ..... your welcome.
*vet wrote down "broken running wheel" in the diagnosis note. *
Owner : HELP! IT'S AN EMERGENCY! MY DOG HAS BEEN BITTEN BY A SNAKE!
Vet : Take him this way!
*puts the dog on the steel table, put on IV, give him physical exam, the dog seems to be fine.*
Vet : When did this happen?
Owner : 20 minutes ago!
Vet : Where was he bitten? where' is his wound?
Owner : I don't know! I didn't see when he was bitten!
Me : I can't seem to find the wound.
Vet : What does the snake look like?
Owner : I didn't see the snake.
Vet : ...Well, why did you think he's bitten by a snake, then?
Owner : I saw him walked out of a bush, and then cried and then laid down.
Vet : .........................Let's observe him for 24 hours then.
*The owner left*
Me : I still can't find the wound.
Vet : I can't either. But let's just observe him for a night just in case.
The dog seems fine, He even cooperate with me checking his skin. He stood up when I was checking him in the belly, and laid back down when I was checking his legs. He looks a bit confused ( like, "why am I here?" ).

Art status 'n stuff
General | Posted 14 years agoYAY! I finished 
triggur's commission!
on to the gift art!
Nope, I'm not accepting new order just yet. Let me breath for a while, okay?
I'm getting used to the hard work, when I forget about the pain in my heels, I think this work could be quite fun. If you don't count seeing blood and pee and poop splattering everywhere... yes. Being a vet is fun. Now I know that all those overloaded information that I have studied are all useful.
I don't know if my mind is being distorted again, but yesterday, a dog died after we tried so hard to rescue him.
They were collecting his Cerebro-spinal fluid ( the fluid around the brain and spinal cord ) to see if there's any Canine Distemper. They were using the word "play" on him. like this :
Vet1 : Yay! I got it! ya wanna play?
Vet2 : Sure! Lemme try collecting too!
Me : Can I play with his epidural too?
Vet1 : Of course!
Me : *Feels like I just got a new toy*
Vet1 : Hey, come and try dissecting this vein!
....
...
..
.
After I successfully "practiced" the epidural puncturing on a dead dog... I realized that... A patient had just died....on my hands... Shouldn't I...we...be sad? Why aren't we? And why are we "playing" with his carcass like a toy?
Oh well... At least I try my best with the living ones.
My definition of the word "beautiful" has also drastically changed.
*Changing bandage of a dog with a severe wound.*
*revealing the nasty looking wound*
Vet1 : Bright red! how beautiful!
Me : Beautiful?
Vet1 : Yesterday there was pus.
Me : Okay...
