Soundtrip

My current status on my plurk is:



I'm listening to Twilight Movie soundtrack right now.. I can't understand it, but I can kinda define the beat, if it's slow, fast or loud.. ;) I can say if Bella's Lullaby is on.. Haha.

Louder..

from underkcat: 1st Wednesday of the month/year

It's the 1st Wednesday of the month yesterday.. So we went to Megamall for Fr. Joey Faller's healing mass.. I've been attending it since July 2007.. When I'm free every 1st Wednesday of the month, I make it to a point to attend Fr. Faller's healing mass.. I can't hear what's going on, though sometimes my mom states to me the important words Fr. Faller mentions during his homily.. I can't hear the mass.. But I'm praying with Fr. Faller.. I'm praying with everyone inside the chapel.. and he prays for me, for us.. Join forces ang lahat.. :)

A month and few days after my 1st healing mass with Fr. Faller, I got to stumble upon ABI (Auditory Brainstem Implant), a device which can make me hear again.. Kaaliw.. Ang bilis ng endorsement kay Lord! Haha. ;) I really want that ABI, but as always, God's will be done.. If it is for me, then it's for me.. But it's not.. Coz God wants something better for me.. The Cochlear Implant!

And now I got the COCHLEAR IMPLANT.. Though it's not fully paid yet and I'm still raising funds.. ;)

Anyway, my New Year was a blast.. as in a blast, literally.. Haha. ;P Coz I heard every sound of the very noisy firecrackers & even the music on our videoke party.. Yey! Yey!

But..

After New Year, there seem to be something wrong with my CI.. The sounds I'm hearing isn't defined anymore, just sounds.. and there's no music, just sound.. softer sound.. Even my voice is soft to me.. I don't like it.. Because those were not the sounds I got used to.. Hehe. ;P I even texted Ms. Kaye and told her what seems to be the problem.. She said that I should observe it well, and if it persists, she'll map my CI and re-program it..
The next day, it's still the same..

Until..

Wednesday, around 12noon (the mass starts at 12pm, and we came a bit late.. hehe).. I was on my place where all the people on wheels are.. ;) Then I heard a sound.. It's a talking sound.. It's Fr. Faller.. Then music.. It's offertory.. Music.. My CI is back to normal! I even made a low coughing sound so that I could hear my voice.. Haha! It's really back! My voice is the loudest of all the sounds I'm hearing.. My CI's Back! My CI's back! Woohoo!

After Fr. Faller touched & prayed over me..

tacK: pwedeng mag-comment.. (Hahaha!)

and then I told them what happened during the mass..

----

after the mass, we passed by this man at the atrium..

...and I heard the music!

MUSIC

Before 2008 left, the year gave me a very nice farewell gift..

We had a Videoke Party at our place on December 31 til New Year.. An hour before 12am, I noticed that I'm hearing something different.. So I moved closer to the tv and put my ears in front of the speaker.. MUSIC! I'm hearing music! I don't understand it and it's soft, but it's music! Not just sounds.. but music!!!! I was so happy I hurriedly called my mom.. I even texted my doctor & audiologist to give the good news, wish them happy new year & thank them.. I didn't understand a thing, but I know it's music! I can differiantaite music from sound.. Woohoo! I'm super super happy! I kept on listening in front of the speaker the whole time.. Haha!

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
