Health pill

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Blogging as a health pill. I am sure most bloggers would agree. Blogging for me has been a therapy. Yes, call me crazy but this world has been one of my listening friends for the past years. Well, in some way, it could respond too if there would be kind bloggers to take a peek here and comment. ;)

I miss the bubbly girl

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

It is her second night of not eating dinner. I wonder if she is on diet pills that suppress hunger. Well, I think it is doing a great job. She does not look hungry, though. Maybe, she already ate outside before going home. Anyways, I hope that it is just it. You know, the diet thing and not anything else like a problem that might be bothering her that is why she could not eat. She has been quite worrisome lately and it is affecting her behavior. She goes straight to the room after greeting me good evening. No more conversations. Now, I am the one who is worried. I hope that she is fine. I just miss the bubbly girl in the house.

Vegetables on the table

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

I have been serving her veggies lately. Yes, for diet but most of all for good health. I observed that she has difficulty in bowel movements lately. I could hear her doing the valsalva maneuver. I pity her. I could feel her pain. yes, to put it simply, she is having constipation!

She said that it is the chocolate milk at the vendo machine. Who says that the best things in life are free? It tasted good and free flowing but for what? The dreaded aftermath every time that she would go to the bathroom?

I warned her about constipation and the future progression of it to a more serious disease like hemorrhoids. I hope she would listen.

The dreaded body smell

Monday, April 13th, 2009

I do not really smell that good because I am not fond of using heavy perfumes. As a matter of fact, I even gets dizzy whenever I smell strong ones.

Could we really smell ourselves or our noses are just sensitive to another person’s aroma. What if you smell something bad from a friend? Would you tell him or her?

She had body odor when she was still very young or maybe it is part of growing up. As the elders would jokingly say, “ You are a certified grown up because you are already having body odor.”Seriously, having a body odor is due to hormonal changes or is it inherited? Oh, I do not like to have that kind of inheritance. They also say that even when you take a bath everyday but do not change your undergarment, you would have that.Good thing that there are products in the market that could suppress that or eventually make that disappear. Going back to her, she had a very bad experience because of that dreaded BO. Her elementary teacher approached her and told her about it. Well, she was not shy at all. She accepted it constructively and did something about it? Thanks to deodorants!

Hair color and black snow flakes

Monday, January 5th, 2009

It is time again to color her hair. Oh, people really age that fast. Not everyone could hide it. Blessed are those who are blessed with better genes meaning being able to stay younger than their real age. Is that really possible? Oh, I know a couple who are more than a decade apart in age , the man being the older but he managed to keep younger and sometimes even younger than her wife. I guess, it is a matter of perspective… or should I say, beauty products to be used.

She has been having this problem with her hair. At 36 years old, she feels she is already a grandmother. Yeah, that is one of the source of her insecurities besides her weight.

So, she is wearing black hair now and it decreased her age by about five years? Well, the magic of that product! However, as she combed her hair, she noticed black flakes falling at her yellow shirt. What was that? Is it not supposed to be white? Thus, she proved that those big D’s that has been her another problem for the longest time could not really be washed away by shampoo and conditioner at once. I wonder how those clung to the scalp.

Dandruff is not actually always caused by poor hygiene. Is it actually a curse? Kidding aside, it could be because of stress. Yes, it is the big S again! Along with other affectations caused by stress like the distressful constipation, ulcer, migraine and others. So, does it mean that she would not be dandruff free? I hope she would be victorious over this. Any suggestions? Well, the dermatologist’s advise was not that helpful. I think it is more than dandruff but a hair follicle condition. It was just my theory because I saw that her eyebrows had white flakes too especially during cold seasons.

I got a pedicure!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

So, what did I do today so that I would feel beautiful? I got a pedicure! I read from Sandee’s post how much bacteria we have on each feet so better start cleaning it! Honestly, I only go to the parlor for a pedicure when I am going to special occasions and I have to wear an off-toe high heeled strappy sandals! Oh, I have to make my feet real clean so that I can get away with that! Of course, we can do the cleaning on our own and it should also be part of our daily hygiene…or else, our feet might stink…Uh,oh! That would be a big turn off!

Anyways, as of the dieting, I did ten sit ups today. I also did some household chores like washing our clothes. Most of all, my fingers got most of the exercising! Lol!
