A Drugstore at Home

Since the little one and I are undergoing a long term medication, our medicine box is so full that the husband coins it as “Mercury Drugstore”.  Bottles of vitamins and antibiotics line up and there’s no even enough space anymore for his multivitamins.  No wonder he’s sarcastically joking.  Well, I just hope that there will be no more additions to these medicines we’re currently taking and that we’ll both get well after this medication.  Not only it is a hassle to drink as scheduled but more over, it’s such a pain in the wallet.  Thank God, the husband can reimburse this as part of their Medical benefits at work.  Which reminds me, I need to compile the RXs and receipts so he can file for a reimbursement soon.

Due For A Haircut

My hair has become unruly again these past few weeks and taking a peep at the mirror reminds me that I’m due for a hair cut one of these days.  It has grown longer and since my hair is naturally wavy, my hair ends seem to fly in every direction (read: fly away).  Visiting the salon is one of the things in my to do list next week.  I have to squeeze that in my schedule before we fly down south for a beach getaway.  I’m trying to recall the haircut that the stylist did to me the last time.  It surely isn’t “hydroxycut” because that pertains to diet pills and not a hair cut style.  Was that “wedge” or something?  Geez, I can’t even recall the stylist’s name.  What has happened to my memory?

Buy Gold Coins

For a first timer, investing in gold may be overwhelming because of the various terms and factors one must be acquainted of.  The term “gold bullion” refers to investment-grade gold and may be in the form of bars and coins.  With gold investment, a profit is earned similarly as in a buy and sell business.  You buy gold coins then sell it when prices improve. Investing in gold may appear difficult and overwhelming at first but equipping oneself with the right approach and technique will make the investment process easier and more profitable.  Again, it is such a profitable investment but only if the right approach is utilized.

“Colon” Terms

I got acquainted recently with the terms that has “colon” prefixed on them: colonoscopy and colonoxy.  Latest topics among my Twitter friends involved digestive tract problems.  A friend’s brother was rushed to the hospital last week and was admitted a couple of times already because of severe tummy ache.  Then another friend complains of frequent bloating.  Both were advised to undergo colonoscopy.  This procedure involves endoscopic examination of the colon with a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube through the anus.  Sounds very painful but anesthesia is administered first before the tube is inserted. 

On the other hand, colonoxy is not a medical procedure nor an ailment but a colon cleanser that detoxifies and promote weight loss for healthier living.

My First Blog

It really gives me a different high after going over my past blog posts here and read about our yesteryears.  This is my first ever blog so most of my entries then were still truly personal and link free (:wink:).  I love how I blogged about our wedding preparations, the wedding day itself, our honeymoon, our adjustment period and my most favorite, of how I blogged and broke the news that we’re pregnant.  I also chronicled here my sentiments as a first time parent including my worries on how to produce more breast milk.  I just had to build and continue blogging then about my personal life in another blog for online business reasons, thus, I blogged here less since then.  But nevertheless, this blog remains special to me because this is my first.
