: A must have for medical professionals :

In today’s world where technology has enveloped us through the years, it is not so unusual for people to have techie gadgets and gizmos that are sprouting each year in the market. And with all that, medical fields have also been blessed with this advancement where doctors or clinicians who own PDA (personal digital assistant) or smartphone can use it as a tool to serve their patients more. Company like Epocrates, Inc. have developed a medical software for the PDA where almost over 500,000 healthcare professionals are using it already.

Such a remarkable tool where clinicians can immediately access much needed information about certain drugs, it’s side effects and other info in a quick time thus preserving precious clinical diagnosis. They have also just recently launched for BlackBerry gadget users a free drug reference and are continuously developing so that they will available and compatible in all gadgets.

“This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.”

: I'm not getting any younger anymore :

Gosh, it maybe hard to admit but that is the case right now.I am at the age where people always say that “my life will begin”… oh no way I can believe that haha bec. at my age this is the start of aches and pains. lol Seriously, my energy has slowly going down, I can tell that bec. I before I can shop or just stroll the mall the whole day but these days 2-3 hours are already enough for me. I also experience an uncomfortable pain on my left leg and my varicose veins are now unsightly to see. Oh well.....

And take a look at the photo, I already have wrinkles beside my eyes, a sure sign of ageing but I don’t worry much about that and would not think of using anti wrinkle cream at this moment. My laugh lines are also visible now but I hope I will age gracefully. But with all that flaws, I still feel beautiful !

: Health and Me :

I can say that I don’t have the perfect bill of health but I am proud to say that I have not been confined to a hospital for a disease or any ailment. Health is wealth as they always say and we always thrive that in our life bec. getting sick is really hard not just physically but financial as well.

Oh boy, I reckon as we grow older, aches and pains will be part of us no matter what and just recently I have been getting uncomfortable bec. my left leg is always aching and I suspect bec. of my varicose veins. My veins are somewhat big and swollen (runs in the family) due to too much sitting where my blood has a hard time circulating. When I go to sleep I make it a point to stack pillows underneath my legs but last night it was just painful. Aside from that I also have a very sensitive stomach which I find it very annoying almost all the time. My relatives already know about this and I am not sure if I will have it examined at this point.

Oh well, eventhough I have been experiencing it at least I am not yet drinking any medicine or supplements like liver cleanse or anything. Oh know this reminds me of the recent death of Rudy Fernandez just last week and that we really never can tell when our life will end.

Oh by the way, I am playing badminton, 1/2 or an hour almost everyday.

: Aching Body :

With my desire to have do an exercise and keep my blood running all throughout my body, my niece and I have been playing badminton since yesterday morning. This morning after the rained stopped, I was able to play with my niece and bro for 2 hours and holy cow my sweat is drippin' like a faucet and now I have an aching body hahaha.

My right arm is aching as well as my muscles in the legs, I have a hard time sitting down ..haha... nope it;s not a rheumatism like what my sis JOY told me hahaha. For sure I will play again tomorrow morning and hope it will not rain.

: My shirts won’t fit :

This morning I was having a hard time choosing what shirt to wear and I was literally fitting almost all of them from the closet. Nothing seems to fit me right ever since I have gained some extra flab on my waist after my overseas holidays. I’ve been planning to do jogging around the neighborhood but I lack energy and enthusiasm to do it. My sedentary lifestyle is also killing me and I will hate to see one day that I’ll ever need Curvelle to tone me down. I end up giving about 10 shirts to my niece who is much leaner than me.

Although my waist is not really that bad, some friends suggested that sit ups and not sitting right after meal will do the trick. I just need some self control and I’ll be fine I guess.

: It's hard to be sick :

My distant aunt came to visit us the other day and we had a good chat over different matters esp. health concerns about her and her husband who is going to have a kidney surgery this coming days. They already spent a lot of money and we reckon that it’s the only way he can recover from that ailment. She however still suffers from her asthma attacks esp. during hot and humid days. Also dusty places can even trigger that, I am not so sure if she wants to consider having one of those air cleaners that others are using in their houses.

Ahh it’s hard being sick nowadays esp. if you don’t have money to finance it. My nephew also recovered from a dengue fever last January and he almost lost his life. He was already bleeding inside when they diagnosed it and we are so thankful that he recuperated from it.

I can’t stop my Coke addiction

Oh my, oh my this summer heat is surely making me sweat and thirsty. I should be drinking lots of water to replenish the lost fluids in my body but I can’t resist not to drink Coke instead. Bad I know as it will only bloat me and put not much needed sugar in my body and I am definitely losing my battle to eliminate it from my diet. Aside from softdrinks, I have been eating quite a lot and not doing any exercise and that makes me gain more flab in my waist, which is so unsightly to see.

I just hate seeing my bilbil (extra fat on my waist) and to know that I don’t fit on some of my jeans. I will hate to see one day that I will grow bigger and stressing my self how to loose weight and reading those diet pill reviews available online. Argghhh, I gotta have discipline or else..yay!

Help me stop fr. eating too much!!

Coca-cola, chocolates, brazo de Mercedes cake, rice at dinner time.. ahhhh who can’t resist them??? This is the time again in my life where I have no control yet on my eating. I know you’ll be shock to know that I don’t like my body eventhough I only weigh 105 lbs. I think that is an ideal weight for my height but I have this bulging excess fat on my waist and I hate it.

I know it’s my fault bec. I lack exercise and I always like to seat around when I just ate. I hate to see myself taking those diet pills in the future so I better do something. My older and younger sisters are going to the gym and I reckon I need that too but not so sure if I can maintain doin that for a long time.. geezzz I feel so “tabatsoy” (fat) these days.

I'm stilll lazy...lazy..

I spent my whole day yesterday at home sleeping and just lazing around at home. I had a tiring flight last Thursday at it was already 9 pm when we got home for dinner and almost midnight when I went to sleep. The kids were all excited to get all their gifts from my sister Joy especially the chocolates. I did gained few pounds when I was in Australia bec. my bro in law always see to it that we eat good foods when we go out. He sometimes jokingly blame me bec. he gained few kilos too but I don’t think we already need Orovo pills to keep our weight down. I reckon exercise will still do the trick. Right now, I am still feeling lazy but I managed to open my computer shop today and oh my it is sooooooooooooooo hot!!!

Anyone here suffering from PMS?

Oh definitely that includes me. Every month, I have been suffering from physical and emotional symptoms like legs cramping, bloating, migraine, tenderness in my breast and whole lot more. I also find myself crying easily when I watch an emotional movie, or just by reminiscing old sad memories yay ! I know every woman has different symptoms and for those fortunate ones they don’t even feel anything. I usually take just pain reliever tablets to ease the pain or put a hot compress but I read that others use progesterone crèmes. All I know is that I hate it when that comes every month. !!!

For youthful looking skin

Have you noticed that some people age too much way ahead of their age? Wrinkles and sagging are major problems when we age bec. we lost elastin fibers. Oh well we can’t help ageing as we all be passing that stage. To brag a little here, man have told me that I don’t look like my age, a good compliment I can say bec. I have not been using an products to keep myself young.

Anyway, for those that wants youthful looking skin, at these age it is not far in achieving it. There are many cosmetologist and chemists like Chantal Burnison who are now making a lot of research and trying to come up with products that can help. She is the owner of the company named Chantal Pharmaceuticals that is selling Ethocyn skin care line. Their products contains Ethocyn which helps in restoring elastin on our skin thereby preventing wrinkles. It is available in creams, spray and even serum form. I reckon there's no more reason not to stay young.

Informative site

It’s past midnight now and here I am still in front of the laptop and my eyes are trying to close down on me. I tried to make myself awake with a hot coffee that really does help on me. It’s Holy Week now and time to reflect about our sins and the death and resurrection of Christ. It is also a time to think and pray about our loved one esp. those that are going the wrong path.

One major problem in our society and all over the world is drug addiction, how many lives have we known to have gone nowhere because of this abuse. High-end celebrities, politicians and just about ordinary people are vulnerable to this abuse. We certainly don’t want our kids or loved ones to go on this path bec. living that kind of life can be hell. Thanks to many gov’t., non-gov’t or private institutions who are willing to help these drug abusers like cocaine or shabu bec. they are given a chance to cleanse themselves and get out of it. I know it’ll be hard for any user to subject themselves to treatment the 1st time but in the long run I know it is for their own good. Thanks also for some individuals who make sites who discusses, educates and give information about drug abuse, treatment and rehabs like Cocaine rehab, Cocaine rehabs  that I came across. The site is full of information that anyone can make use of. Just letting you all know that there is hope and treatment when needed so don’t hesitate to call them.

I got allergies!!!

Oh my gosh i am so itchy!!!! I started to get itchy after my sis and I went to her doctor's clinic and at the mall. I could not really pinpoint where i got it. All i know is that after our we had lunch at KFC (i had chicken and fries) and then i started having rashes. I always eat chicken but it never give me rashes so i don't really  know.

I woke up with red rashes all over my body and a swollen face yesterday morning and I was alarmed by it. I showed it to my sis JOy and she gave me a med for it. Right now I am still taking the Phenergen medicine (made me drowsy though) but it lessens my itchiness. Yikes i hate to see my rashes on my body and I hope it will disappear soon. !!!

Well, that's all for now I'm still on my vacation here in Australia and have been to many places already. I have tons of photos but gosh I am so lazy uploading them here (soon i will!) 

Have a great weekend everyone!!

The way to a beautiful skin

I just find those people with smooth and flawless skin so lucky bec. that is what I wanted to achieve to my skin, my face specially. I have an oily T-zone and that is what I am worried about. I also got zits ( I have one right now.. arghh) from time to time and I know it is due to my oily skin. I have tried numerous skin care products and sometimes it gives good results. I reckon I still need to cut eating oil foods and nuts to help prevent it. 

There are people that have big acnes al over their face and sometimes they are embarrassed by that. I think those that have that need t consult their doctors for appropriate treatment. There are also treatments that some have considered and it is the chemical TCA peel. It is like exfoliating your skin to remove dead skin, blotches and even scars. I have not tried it before but it looks promising. There is even a chemical facial peel that you can use to prevent burning and stinging after the peel.

Thank You !!!

Hello peeps, gosh I miss blogging so much hehe!! I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all those that give their prayers and concerns about my nephew who was hospitalized due to Dengue Fever. 

He is actually out of danger now and out of the hospital and will go to school by tomorrow. It was an emotional and financial burden for my family back home in the Phils. so we are so glad that he was finally out of the hospital. I just hope no one in my family will get this fatal disease again.

So guys, be careful and if you have kids you have high fever and showing signs of dengue, go to the doctor as fast as you can!

I also reckon that I need to change my eye doctor now bec I am not really satisfied. With my desire to change my eyeglasses I found out that anyone can purchase stylish prescription glasses online and it’s a Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com.
