My Comfort Zone

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!

After almost five months, us girls will be hanging out again. There’s a new place in town and that’s where we are going tonight. We still don’t know what to expect at this new hang-out spot but we will be painting the town red for sure and will have fun until we don’t know when. It’s one of the girls birthday tomorrow so we’re going to have the celebration tonight and stay until midnight, and most likely beyond, to welcome in her birthday.

My dress is ready as well as my super stylish mbt shoes. One of my friends reminded me not to forget my digital camera. But of course! The party would not be complete without getting snap shots for remembrance.

I can’t wait to see the girls and party the night away!!!

Flowers are definitely one of my weaknesses. That’s why my heart really fell for my fiancé so easily because he definitely knows how to tickle my fancy. It was February last year when we met, about two weeks after Valentine’s Day but he still sent me flowers – a dozen of red roses, at that, even when in fact we were still getting to know each other. And from then on, there’s always been flowers delivered to me on special occasions like Mother’s Day, my birthday, our Anniversary and even on Easter. Imagine that! Well, he can do it with just a click of the mouse, buying flower online is the choice of many now because of the convenience and my fiancé is definitely not an exception.

My birthday is just around the corner once again and no doubt, I will have flowers again. But I do wonder if it will be roses or something different this time? We’ll see. (“,)

My girlfriends since college have been planning a get-together for a while now but it’s always postponed because of unavoidable things like one is going somewhere, or the other one is busy with work, or the other one is having the drama of her life (hehe), etc. Our schedule just won’t meet up when in fact there’s only three of us. My other friend kind of gave up actually and told me that we’ll just go by ourselves, only the two of us.

Maybe if I’ll get tired of waiting, then it will just be the two of us but I’ve been raring to see that friend of ours too. We seldom see each other because she’s busy with her business and other stuff. The get-together that we’re planning is supposed to be her late birthday bash as well as a birthday bash for the other one, and perhaps, an advanced birthday bash for me too. Hehe. So as much as possible, I want the three of us to be together. We may never do it again soon since we don’t know what the future holds.

I hope we get to be together this week or next week. Maybe I will just keep my fingers crossed yet again! (“,)

An addition to the family is coming soon to my friend’s house; she’s pregnant with her second baby. I am so excited for her. Her eldest is already in high school, and that’s how they planned it. They wanted to focus on their first child before having another one which is a good thing to do given the problems we face in this dog-eat-dog world. She’s even acquired term life insurance for the whole family. I’ve always admired her maturity and planning when it comes to her life. And she never goes wrong with it. She’s happy and having a successful life with her family. Way to go, girl!

My friend Charlotte who I’ve known since high school days sent me a private message on Facebook yesterday informing me that she’s now two weeks pregnant with her second child. She added that I am the first to know. Wow! Isn’t that sweet? I was really surprised by such a sweet gesture. We haven’t seen each other for years because she’s now living in a different city that is a thousand miles away from me. We only keep in touch online but not that often because we’re both busy with our lives; that is why that message really came as a surprise.

I am so happy for her and I can’t wait to see her baby, even if only in pictures when the time comes. That is unless she will pay her hometown a visit and come to see me. I replied to her message with best wishes greetings and congratulations. I also told her to take care of herself and not to forget to take plenty of prenatal vitamins which will keep her healthy and benefit her baby. I do hope I can see her soon. Well, we never know. Surprises come when we least expect them.
