The Sickies
… are here again. It’s really too bad because you can’t rest, not when the weather is so freakin’ hot. My cough is back again but that’s nothing compared to Sandy’s situation. For the past three days, her fever is on and off. She kept having tummy aches and the latest was her ear infection. We spent the weekend going back and forth to the hospital without any clear remedy. It sucks when all you have to do is wait, monitor and wait some more. It was the first time that I saw her in real pain. Can’t even sleep because her ears hurt. Those were the moments when I wish I was a doctor so I don’t have to rely on someone else to make her feel better.
I do hope she’ll get well soon. It’s their Moving Up day this Saturday and she needs to practice accepting her awards, make her speech and their dance performance. It’s her time to shine and have fun with her classmates before summer starts. She’s supposed to have fun and enjoy the last days of school, not spend them all day in our room, drinking 3 kinds of medicine, having tummy aches and what-not.
I hate this so much. I am close to getting angry to whoever’s responsible for this. Not that I can blame anyone but I just want to.
Planning Stuff for the House
Browsing through real estate web sites have always been one of my favorite pastime. My latest addiction is checking out various kitchen and bathroom setups. I’ve seen Grohe faucet / accessories on most high-end properties so I got curious about their prices. Upon checking online stores, a small Grohe kitchen faucet can set you back from $68-$420. A little expensive for a faucet if if you ask me but we’re talking about million dollar houses here. I guess that’s cheap change compared to the overall cost.
The List Goes On
Things inside a 30-ish bathroom cabinet.
1. Eye cream. The day I turned 25, my mother told me I should invest on eye creams. I didn’t believe her of course. Why would I need one when I don’t have wrinkles at all. I now wish I listened to her. I don’t have wrinkles yet, mind you, but I could see the beginnings of fine lines.
2. Strong facial or acne cleanser. I don’t have this but most of my friends do. It’s a must for their very sensitive skin.
3. Toner, moisturizer, facial scrub.
4. Facial masks, pore cleanser
5. Vitamins, health supplements including diet pills, appetite suppressants.
For the Sake of Vanity
My friend bought phentermine without a prescription online and my first thought was how easy it is to get stuff over the Internet. Do you know that Phentermine has been associated with shortness of breath, chest pain, depression, seizures and insomnia to name a few? Granted it has been proven to make you lose weight fast but is it worth it? I saw from Tyra Banks show a new way of losing weight and that is through ingesting tapeworms. You can lose 20lbs and up and it has plenty of raves and positive reviews all over the Internet. Still, is that enough reason to do something so unhealthy and may I say downright distasteful? Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up.
There are plenty of alternatives out there to help you lose weight yet nothing beats a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Now that’s a Wedding Party!
… taken at Lala and Risha’s Post-Wedding party.
I just love this couple. Their happiness is so apparent you can’t help but feel it too. Check out some more pix here (taken by our friend Z). Well, the drunk version, that is. If ever I’ll get married again (to Sherwin, of course!), we’ll probably do the same thing. Unlimited booze, no stuffy relatives and a maximum of 50 guests only!
