December 3rd 2020: Announcement
Hello Everyone!
I know I haven't been posting to this blog specifically but I have been active on social media! I wanted to share my linktree with everyone and hopefully queue some post for yall in the future! There are many ideas that I have but overall, if I don't post it here you can find me on these other links!
All Links: https://linktr.ee/lusterdragon72
Separated Links:
I haven't been on here as much as my reselling account but I'm trying to integrate one into the other! If you have an instagram please follow both of mine and I'll be sure to follow back! I enjoy seeing my friends/followers post because there's always room for learning or if we're only sharing memes there's always room for joy!
Since the concussion I haven't been able to read as well as I used to. I was told to not focus on reading chapter books if I do decide to read and they also suggested in the beginning to not attempt to do so. Now that I'm writing about it I realize that I can do a twitch video over my wattpad and maybe I can get some stuff done on there! But currently there is no 'new' content. I'd be more than happy to answer your comments on my content if you decide that you want to read any of it :)
There's mainly poetry!
I made my first sale in September but soon after I got a concussion at work. I was then fired the following month the day after my worker's compensation was approved. It wasn't until November that I took Reselling as priority and made it my full time job while recovering. In November I made $320 in sales and I hope to best that this month! If you want to support me, this is where you can do so! Even if you don't buy anything and share my links with other people it still helps my links get out there to the public! So whatever you decide to do, I appreciate it none the less!
If you do share my links with others and you have links of your own, I would like to share yours as well! Please communicate with me so I can return the favor!
Currently working on listing items in a facebook album to make it easier for my followers to see what I have without going to where they are listed. That way, they can view an item and ask me about it on facebook and we can thus do a facebook transaction!
For those of you connected to either of my Facebook Profiles I've sent out an invitation! Please check it for me and send me an invite to any of your pages!!!
If you want to add me on facebook and don't know me personally, this is where you can add me! I accept every request (expect spam)! I like to get connected with others because there is always something to learn from other people's experiences.
This is also where I add a mass of filipinos and get their attention to look at my stuff lmao. In Filipino culture, it is common to add strangers which is why I focus on adding filipinos specifically. Many have messaged me and asked me if we're family and to be honest? We probably are lol. However, I don't speak the language. But today! I told dad about my public facebook and read the messages out loud to him and he translated them for me lol. It was fun.
Here I can queue all sorts of post and forget about them! It's a good place for me to advertise my listings along with my friends listings! I have a few ideas in mind. I current have NO followers on my tumblr! So if you have tumblr, please click the link and follow me and I will follow you back! Send me all your subtumblr links as well! That way, we can be connected on more than one blog! (My 'main' tumblr is Nucleardrake.
I am NEW to Twitch. My niece likes to watch videos on there while we do reselling stuff so I decided to invest my time because she was watching someone open up Yu-Gi-Oh cards and talk about them. Since she was willing to watch someone do so I figured, why wouldn't other people like to watch me do whatever it is that I'm doing? So I decided to make one and here we are!
Two videos in and I've had a viewer for BOTH hours that I've streamed. I think it's super intriguing to know that someone was willing to watch through my stream despite it lasting an hour each time. My first video has 10 view and it's only been a few days! I honestly think I'm going to enjoy my time on twitch because it's a way to blog without having to type and currently, in my concussion state, the more words I type the harder it is on me to type without getting a headache. Like currently, I have a small headache because I've made it this far in the post at once.
Please follow my twitch and let me know who you are so I can follow back!
This is BY FAR my favorite platform! Through the Mercari website, people can buy my product through Paypal (without having an account)! Mercari has the CHEAPEST shipping so I like to do my transactions through there. I have also sold the most items here.
For those of you who have a Mercari please follow me and as long as you let me know who you are I will follow you back! I don't always follow back on Mercari because not everyone who is on there are sellers. Many of my followers are people who have bought from me and want to buy from me again. Yet, they don't have any listings!
A good friend told me about this platform! So far, I've only sold one item. I'm not sure how I feel about Depop. Most of the people there model their products and some are more 'exposed' than others. I do like taking selfies but I don't know if I like to model. If you have a Depop please let me know! If you follow me, I'm willing to follow you back!
I have not made a SINGLE sale on Ebay. I was determined to put listings up on Ebay. However, I did something wrong this month and now I'm down to 40ish listings so I'll try to make those count. If you know about Ebay, please message me because I would like to learn from successful people on Ebay! I also am NOT willing to pay for Ebay if I'm not making sales while it's free lol.

October 12th: On the Road to Recovery Part II
Hey everyone,
(This is part two of on the way to recovery If you would like to read part one first or if you haven't read part one yet here's the link:
I know this update is later than what I had said. However, life is different. Adjusting to this new me is difficult. Alan told me that I have been acting different despite the medicine.
Currently, I am on 10mg of amitriptyline to help with my anxiety and depression. It is also supposed to help with lowering my blood pressure. From what I gather from my visits up until now my blood pressure has gone down in general. However, based on the visits with my physical therapist my blood pressure is sensitive.
This week, I went to the concussion doctor (October 12th) but we had to do a phone call meeting due to the fact that my sinus issues have flared up. I then called my physical therapist and asked what they wanted to do and they said to go ahead and cancel this week's appointment and to get back with them next week.
Sinus issues used to be a monthly problem for me. When I went to the Philippines and came back, however, my sinus issues disappeared. I know that if I eat dairy or gluten products that my sinus issues flare up again and I have done that recently due to me having a "fuck it" attitude.
Alan has been upset with me because I have been reckless due to this 'fuck it" attitude. I know that he is concerned and is watching out for me. However, he can only say so much and it boils down to what I decide to do. Especially, when he is not around.
What led up to this attitude was because of the stress load that I have acquired in this last week. Last week on the 8th I got fired. I knew that they would eventually fire me for some reason because I was on worker's compensation. My brother explain to me that workers compensation is expensive and he explained it from a business point of view why people get fired due to the compensation. He said it's not right, but there are reasons for a business to fire someone because of that. And I get it. Right now, they are paying my physical therapy, they are paying for my medicine, they're paying for every single doctor's visit that has to deal with this concussion. I'm going to neurotherapy but I'm also about to go to speech therapy due to the issues in the speed in which my brain processes information. These bills add up and I'm glad that they're pairing it. On top of that, they have to pay me weekly. They have to pay me 70% of my manager pay when I was working there.
I have appointments until the end of November. So, I know that I have at least these checks to get me through. At the same time though, I can't work. The concussion doctor said that they have a program they can put me through that will help me get myself rehired through whatever job that will accept me.
When I told him that I got fired, he said, "...Yeah...That happens sometimes when people get on workers compensation. But don't worry, let's get you better, think positive. after you're fully recovered, we can put you through a program and we'll help you get rehired."
This concussion doctor is what I expect a doctor to be. The same goes for the neurotherapy therapists that I've seen. They don't belittle me, they explain what's going on, they don't jump hoops or not listen to what I have to say. These people, if I didn't have them, I would be a wreck. If I had doctors like the first one I had to go to I know that I would not be okay right now. And I wasn't for those first two weeks. So I'm really thankful for these doctors that I've had to interact with. They don't treat me as if I'm faking it. They listen to me. They take my opinion into account after that.
This whole situation is frustrating. They know that. And I'm really glad that they don't tell me, oh you'll get over it. Instead, they say, "We're here for you and it's okay to be frustrated. It's okay to not feel yourself. Yes, it will take some time but try to think positive."
When I go into these doctor visits they always have to check my symptoms. they have to ask these questions and I have to put a number to it. And both places (whoever the nurse may be/therapist may be) they always say, "It's hard to put a number to it."
Alan said that I am acting more emotional and when the doctor asked me about it I gave him a lower number. Personally, I don't see myself getting as emotional. But Alan is around me most of the time. So, if he says I'm being more emotional then... I believe him.
I'm not one of those people who likes asking for help. I know what I'm capable of. Right now though, I'm not the same person as I was on the 7th of September. And I have to constantly remind myself that I am not that person. honestly, I don't know if I'll ever be the same person as I was on the 7th of September. In a way, maybe this is a journey to understanding who I'm going to be once this is over.
The physical therapy doctor told me that I need to walk 10 minutes a day twice a day. Today, after the concussion doctor, I took Rylla (chihuahua rat terrier) and Dexter (Chihuahua wiener dog mix) out for a 10-minute walk. When I was at the physical therapy doctor last week, I got tired after 10 minutes of us walking. Today, that happened again.
It is so frustrating to know that I can't even walk 10 minutes without feeling tired. However, I know that this is part of the recovery phase. I know that I can do this. 10 minutes will become 20 or 15 by next week. Or, it'll stay the same because they don't want me to push myself too much and that's okay. But the amount of frustration that I feel more than anything else is unbearable. Being told that I am not able to do something because of my condition is equivalent to being told that I can't do something. That, I am not allowed to do something.
My body however, heals at its own pace. And, it's not about my body. It's about my brain. I want to laugh about it. I want to laugh because I don't want to feel bad about this whole ordeal. And eventually, I'm sure I will. But right now, I can't find myself laughing. sometimes, I can make a joke about it. Like right now I can't listen to music. All I'm listening to right now is 'nature sounds' as a playlist. And I told my coworker before I got fired when he came in and heard me listening to it that, "I can't listen to music. It says off my anxiety. so all I got are these waves. These ocean waves these forest crickets these... You know, I'm like outside but I'm not outside. But hey no Lady Gaga right now lol just water. Waterfalls... Listening to a forest that I probably will never meet. For the flow of a river. That's all I got."
It's good to know that there is an end to this. It's good to know that eventually, I will be able to build up my tolerance again. These imaginary barriers and stop signs will eventually go away. One day, I can feel not slowed down. I can walk outside for longer than 10 minutes and not get tired. I can go to a restaurant which is playing music and has the rush hour. I can ignore what's going on around me, but I can still process it. Right now, I can't process everything. All my brain does it shuts it out, it's still there, I hear the noise but I can't understand it.
Right now everything is white noise. But, it'll clear up. I know that How I feel about this condition will only hinder the healing process. If I don't go out for those walks, if I don't do the exercises that they told me to do, then this is going to take a lot longer for me to heal.
Normally, I don't write a thank you letter to my doctors. But, I haven't really had to go to the doctor consistently in a long time. At the end of this, I think that that I'll write all of the doctors and nurses a letter letting them know that I really appreciate what they do. That I've had bad experiences with doctors before and I know other people have. However, these people that I have met through this hard time in my life are not those people. But they are what I expect doctors to be. And I'm so grateful. Because, in order to get better there needs to be a support system. These people are part of that support system.
There are people that go into the profession for the money. then there are people who go in because they actually care about people and these people that I've met are those people who actually care. It says a lot to me, personally, Because I've met both. And I know I'm not the only one. The letter may not the super meaningful to them. I may be just another number. But I'm going to let them know that I don't feel that way with them. But I'll remember who they are, and that's a lot to me.
In the last post I'm pretty sure I wrote that I was frustrated about the first doctor. I am positive at least that message was clear. I explained that this whole thing was frustrating and it still is.
For those who are seeing this and do not understand what happened, I explain what happened in the first post.
Thank you for listening everyone, last time I checked which was the day after I posted the previous post, there were 25 views and a comment. People reached out to me and I want to say thank you to those people. for those people who read it and didn't say anything, who kept me in your thoughts anyway, but didn't say anything to me, thank you anyway!
I know that not everybody is going to talk to me about it, and I know that I can only handle talking to so many people, which is why I'm thankful for people reading what I have to say in the first place. Thank you for reaching out to me, and thank you for reading what I have to say. I appreciate every single one of you even if I don't know exactly who you are. But, I do know that you know me, even if you know me through my words because you've met me through Wattpad, or if you're a person I added because you were willing to listen to me when I needed someone to be there (yet we haven't met). I'm thankful for those who read what I have to say because you actually know who I am. You've met me, and you know how I feel, But we haven't seen each other in years. That's okay, because I know we have our separate lives. No matter how you know me and how I know you (or of you) in the end, you are here right now reading what I have to say, You're listening, you're thinking about me, you care about me, and because of that, thank you.
This is a time in my life I never thought I'd have to go through. People have told me, that they would be afraid. And I'm not. But, I know that other people are afraid for me. And that, makes me aware of the fear that I could have. Slowly, I will get better. All I can do, is move forward
Thank you all again,
DJ, Nar, Cho
