Hyperglycemia

The Dark Side

Hyperglycemia is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. Typical signs and symptoms include polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia, blurred vision, fatigue, weight loss, dry mouth, erectile dysfunction, stupor, cardiac arrhythmia and coma. It is also noted that mortality is higher in people that are not diagnosed with Diabetes than people who are already diabetics and are on going with management.

But temporary hyperglycemia often benign and asymptomatic and is often accompanied by goofiness, chicken dances, insomnia and lip-syncing. It is often caused by excessive consummation of lava cakes, pizza, mango floats, leche flan and the occasional ice cream. I would like to warn to you about the following videos of us siblings (sorry the cousin profiles would have to wait) doing the silliest things we do when we're having this kind of episode and while we're staring right in front of our computers. We consume a lot of sugar and technology at the same time and it's about time we should stop but let me share this one of a kind experience, lest ye fall into the same situation. Kids, don't try this at home.

The Mayas



Before we had our current ISP, we were lagging way behind our competitors on Starcraft Broodwar over at Garena. But of course, we don't tell them we're the ones lagging the game because, well, it's fun! Ha! Anyway, after seeing the screen breaking up into pixels we decided to munch on whatever we can munch on while waiting for our connection to make some kind of a miracle. The above video is one rare occasion, taken almost two years ago when my brother decided we'll cover-lip-sync "Love Will Keep Us Alive" by The Eagles and call ourselves The Mayas. I do not know why in the world he chose that song and why I agreed to that silly plan. Oh, I know - hyperglycemia.

Nothing, Nothing



The title of the song escapes me, well, good riddance! That is why I placed the title "Nothing, Nothing" instead of the whatever-the-original-title-that-I-do-not-care. Here we are, mildly bored with silly Facebook updates. I'm on Lenny (my laptop), Lace is on Ace (her laptop), Scarlet is on Apple (my iPhone) and Charles is doing the chicken dance (watch it closely on the video). Lace has been playing the whatever-that-song almost 5 times in a row now and suddenly out of the orange-yellow light we decided to do a cover-lip-sync of whatever-that-song. When I reviewed that video after my hyperglycemic state I was like baby, baby, oooh what in the world!?
