Cold, Cold, Go Away!

Friday, August 13th, 2010

After suffering from a cold and cough for almost a week now, I am feeling a little better and I am definitely on my way to recovery. I’m so glad that everything is almost back to normal with me. I don’t like being sick. I seldom get sick and this cough that I’ve had is one of the worst ones ever in my life and memory. My lungs were congested on Thursday night to the point that there was a whistling sound whenever I breathed. I had so much difficulty breathing that I wasn’t able to get a decent sleep and I felt like I was going to pass out any minute that night.

I didn’t tell anyone because it was already late in the evening and I didn’t want to unnecessarily worry the family. Had it been that they knew, they would have insisted on taking me to the hospital for sure and perhaps, I’d be given a spirometer test and given nebulizer treatment. We do have a nebulizer but I totally forgot about it and only remembered it the following day. My sister borrowed it, and that’s when I found relief, after she returned it and I used it. Whew! That was close! I don’t want to go or stay in the hospital, not at all.

Anyway, I’m feeling almost totally A-okay now and soon enough, I will be good to go again!

Beware of So-called Friends

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Sometimes I do wonder why people are so mean. I am referring to this girl that is on my Facebook list who is a friend but not really close. She seems to be carrying huge luggage on her shoulders that prevents her from being happy for other people. I initially thought she was being genuine and sincere with her treatment towards me only to find out eventually that it was total hypocrisy.

I really was hurt by what she said and it did disturb me for a while. She didn’t tell it to me directly but I’m not stupid. She was talking about me without doubt, behind my back. I was going to confront her about it but figured it was just a waste of time. I don’t want to waste my precious time dealing with that kind of crap. Maybe she’s just insecure with me because she’s overweight and I’m so petite. She could have told me she had problems with that and I would help her get the best weight loss pills that she badly needs.

But, oh well; when things like this happen, the best thing to do is keep quiet. And for a peaceful world, I will do just that! (“,)

My Brother-in-law Can Sometimes Be A “Pain” (“,)

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

“I don’t need any hemorrhoids treatment.” That’s what I heard from my brother-in-law while he was talking to my sister in the living room yesterday while they were here to pay us a visit. I learned he was suffering from pain in that part of his body again for he was once treated for hemorrhoids, so my sister thought it could be the reason behind those pains again. But my brother is certain that it is not, stubborn boy that he is.

I didn’t give any opinion nor remark because it is totally uncalled for. I don’t have any idea about it so I would rather keep my mouth shut. It might be awkward for my brother-in-law too if I ask about it. Hehe. I still haven’t heard from them today and don’t know if he is already well. Maybe I will give my sister a call later and get the scoop from her.

No More Headaches For Me!

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

There was a time in my life that I was suffering from intense headaches that would normally appear after spending so much time in front of the computer. I thought it had something to do with my eyes or I was already having a migraine. But fortunately for me, I will not be searching for the best migraine treatment nor the best eye treatment because neither or the two were the reasons behind those headaches. I was just stressed out! Too stressed from all my online and offline tasks that I do as a blogger, as an employee in our family business and as a mom to my 7-year-old son. But I’m not at all complaining. I enjoy what I do and I was happy with my life despite the headaches. Still, I took some time to chill out and focus myself and they disappeared. Maybe they were as fed up with me as I was with them. Hehe.

One Can Never Learn Too Much

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

What I’ve just discovered was really interesting. To be honest, I wasn’t aware that there are weight loss drinks. All the while I only knew about weight loss pills and the like. Maybe I need to read some more to know more, huh? I’ve been reading but the fact that I didn’t know about it only means one thing: I haven’t read enough, or have been looking in the wrong places. Hehe.

Okay, okay! I’ll read more and I will research more about those weight loss drinks. Watch out for me because I am coming right at ya and will know more of what I speak of next time!

A Special Party

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Our newest bundle of joy, Summer, my brother’s daughter, will already turn a month old on Saturday, June 5th. My brother and his wife are thinking of having a little get-together to celebrate it. Just what I like because for certain, there will be delicious foods to feast on. Hehe.

Anyway, though their daughter is only turning a month old, they are already thinking of having another baby. I was like, “Really?” But their reason is understandable seeing that they’re not getting any younger, so why wait? I even kidded my sister-in-law that I will help her by reading a best prenatal vitamin review so she’ll know what to take this time since she’s obviously not going to get any younger. She laughed because she knew I was just kidding her about her age.

Thinking about them having another baby makes us excited. A baby always brings joy to the family.
