Why God Why
I can say that I breezed through life easily all these years. I’m not usually the one with bad news to tell. Last week though, things changed and I had my why-God-why moment. I was in a lot of pain for almost two weeks already and the incessant coughing did not help. I would wake up in the middle of the night praying “mercy, mercy please” because I just cannot take the pain anymore. After going to the doctor and taking medicines, I thought everything will be alright but little did I know that I will almost die the day after. Every time the doctors tell me that I was lucky or that I cheated death, I still can’t believe it. If I contemplate on it too long, I would sometimes burst into tears. I’m thankful that I’m alive and I think I needed this wake up call to see things differently. Though the experience was not pleasant, I learned a lot from this. My why’s were answered clearly. Now as I recuperate back to health and to life, I look forward each day I wake up. I’m thankful for being alive and for having another chance in life. This is my second life now and who knows if I will get another chance again. I will do my best to live a quality life and to value things that matter the most.
In Sickness and In Health
I’m still in sick-o-ville! So, yes, I’m going to bore you yet again with a sickie post. Worrying about funeral costs is not in my agenda for I am determined to be well again. With that said, I went to the doctor today and have some tests done. I’m still waiting for the results but I pray that this is nothing serious.
Finally, after days of waiting I was able to have my sour soup aka “sinigang”. I have been craving for that since I got sick. My appetite is still not back but I was able to enjoy my soup. I want to be well soon. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Getting Physical
I’m still stuck with last week’s EP of Glee but I swear the title has something to do with the post. I can no longer count how many times I mentioned weight loss in this blog. I guess it is safe to say that I do have issues with my weight. The thing is the weight gain only started not too long ago but my weight has always troubled me. I always complain about my fat arms and big tummy but back then, I can still fit into small (sometimes even extra small) and free size clothes. Now that I am BIGGER and really do have weight problems, I regret those days when I should have enjoyed my good shape. I’m slowly working my way in going back to my old weight for health purposes. I want to enjoy the journey this time instead of stressing about it. I’m back in doing afternoon walks, controlling the amount of food I eat and browsing through health related articles like a lipozene review. I promise myself that I will still love my body whatever shape or size I am right now or will be.
Sickies
The husband has been sick for a couple of days now. He was running a fever yesterday and complained about body aches. We took him to the doctor with the help of MIL and got some meds in the nearby pharmacy. It will take a couple more days and not to mention a couple more antibiotics before he can completely recover. Still, I’m thankful that it is not something major and treatment won’t be as intensive as that of Mesothelioma treatment. I on the other hand have a couple of mishaps because of my clumsiness. I have different bruises and cuts in my hands and legs, constantly hitting things around the house. It only means one thing – time to declutter!
Health and Beauty
Today I will definitely have to exercise. I realized that even if I only stay at home, I need to take care of myself too. We were able to avoid junk foods when we shop and we rarely drink sodas now. Last night, I decided to relax a bit and pamper myself with a nice french tip manicure. Well, I did it myself to save money. LOL. I’m not getting any younger so I will also start on applying wrinkle creams. I want one of the best wrinkle creams of course but it has to be affordable too. I have also been doing facial scrubs once a week but I don’t use a drugstore product. I actually use honey and sugar. It is effective and natural. I just need to rinse thoroughly though. I do accept how I look like as long as I’m healthy. Sometimes little improvements (non surgical) can already make a world of difference.
