My Comfort Zone

While talking to my fiancé the other day, he told me how hard he still found it to go without his cigarettes. After smoking for years, he kicked the habit not only for his health, but also for the well-being of me and my son. Still, he constantly craves them. That prompted me to tell him about the battle a friend of mine had a few years ago.

She was involved in a terrible car accident but, by the grace of God, survived. She was, however, critically injured, in the hospital for weeks and during that time became addicted to the powerful pain killers administered by the doctors. When they cut her off of the drugs, she had terrible withdrawal symptoms and, initially, there was talk of having to send her to a facility that deals with opiate detox to aid her in her struggle. But she’s a strong willed individual and once again, by the grace of, and with the help of God, she overcame the demon.

And I know that my honey is strong too, as well as stubborn, and he’ll be able to continue his battle successfully, especially when we’re finally together and I give him plenty more to think of other than taking a puff.

Among the many things that bothers me when it comes to beauty is nose blackheads. I am not at all vain but once I feel that my nose is already rough because of the blackheads, it really freaks me out and I get itchy to have my facial pronto! A facial can be a little painful especially when they are starting to prick the blackheads but I have no choice but to endure the pain if being blackhead free is my goal.

And guess what? As I am feeling my nose today, it is starting to get rough again. So, I think I will be having my facial again pretty soon. Hmmm…

Aside from my mom, my older sister also frets about her excess fat a lot. And more often than not, that’s what I always hear from her whenever we talk. I often kid her to just go to a plastic surgeon and have everything removed, which amuses her. Maybe if she had the money, she would actually do it.

There was a time that I had this feeling that she would try taking diet pills, or to be exact, find some diet pills that work because I know some don’t do the job they claim based on what I’ve heard from friends. I don’t know if she’s really going to do that but I will be the first one to know, so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see, huh?

I am a stay at home mom but I am still working and earning. And that’s by being a blogger. I do help the family too in our family business which has been for the last 15 years. But just like any business, ours has its highs and lows. Despite that, we’ve managed to make it a successful home business. We have our office here at home which allows me to be of help as well as do my blogging.

We know that trials will come our way in the future, as it does in any business, but as long as we stay determined to do a good job and be productive, we will continue to be a success, and I’ll get to stay at home and not have to deal with the hassle and stress of the rat race out there in the everyday work world.

My brother and SIL’s pre-cana seminar started today and will end tomorrow. No one’s going to look after their baby, my niece so I am tasked to do the babysitting for two days. No problem. I missed taking care of babies and I actually have this feeling that I don’t know how to do it anymore. Hehe.

Anyway, my 4-month-old niece was such a good girl today. She didn’t throw any tantrums at all. She just cried when she’s hungry and laughed a lot now too. Today was the first day that we heard her chuckle actually. That was really cute!

She will be back here tomorrow and I hope she will be a good girl again like today. See you tomorrow, Sum! Mwah!

I’ve been having stomach upsets lately and that is why I’ve been reading about colon cleansing. I have this feeling that I might be needing it sometime soon. My mom was the one who actually told me about it and that is why I browsed about it online. The last website that I visited was www.coloncleansing.org and I was really enlightened with all the facts that were there. I definitely learned a lot and it is something that is really worth sharing so I’m telling you, go check the site yourself and be enlightened too like me. It’s absolutely worth reading, trust me!

If there’s one thing that is visible on my face now, it is my acne. It’s only one pimple but it’s located on my left cheek right beside my nose and it’s really big, and whoever sees me teases me that I am undoubtedly in love because of it. It’s a joke that goes around here that whenever you get pimples or acne, you are in love because you’ve had sleepless nights which results in having acne.

I am expecting my menstrual cycle tomorrow so my hormones are now ramping up, thus, the acne. No problem; I am already used to it. All of us women are used to it, I do believe; it just goes with the territory. I could get rid of it anytime I want because I have acne products in my dresser, but not yet will I do it: I am still relishing the moment of having the acne once again because I truly am in love.
