POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS & MEDICATION MAYHEM: Filipino Political Drama, and the Media's Role
What happens when the very thing meant to help you becomes your biggest obstacle? Join me on a candid journey through the ups and downs of managing medication-induced sleep troubles and the struggle to cut back on energy drinks to stay productive, especially during those long days volunteering at my kid's school. Discover how the combination of VA-prescribed medication and a caffeine boost can complicate the quest for a good night's sleep, leading to restless nights and exhausting days. I'll share the steps I'm taking to reclaim restful nights, from tweaking medication routines to embracing natural sleep aids like melatonin.
Shifting gears, I'll navigate the often perplexing world of politics, both from my home in the U.S. and my current residence in the Philippines. Cutting back on U.S. political news has opened up a new focus on local politics here, a landscape filled with unfamiliar names and unique dynamics. The challenge of staying informed in a foreign political environment is real, and I'll unpack what it's like to grapple with these complexities. From concerns over medication management to untangling political webs, this episode intertwines personal reflections with broader societal themes.
As we explore the intricate world of Filipino politics, you'll hear about my firsthand encounters with the aftermath of political upheaval, including the dramatic story of a local political assassination. The conversation doesn't stop there; I'm inviting you to think about the relationship between media and community perceptions, particularly in the Filipino context. This episode is an invitation to engage with the interplay of media, politics, and personal experience, sparking a dialogue that I hope continues well beyond our time together. Your insights and reflections are welcome, adding to this ongoing conversation.
