Avoid Stress

I mentioned that two weeks ago, I have been having this migraine. At first it was really serious, I was taking meds but there was no effect.

So I decided to consult a doctor. We don't have a family doctor, so i just walked in to Medical City in fairview. Then I said to the receptionist that I've been having this problems. Then she said that it was an ENT specialist that I need to consult. I was there around 4 pm and they said that the doctor will be arriving at 5 pm. So I decided to walk in the mall. It was really hard for me to walk because of the pain I'm experiencing. After an hour, I went back to the clinic. And the doctor was late! And the worse, I was at the bottom of the list. Damn. I can't endure the pain any longer! So finally After waiting for 2 hrs. It was my turn.

I told the doctor that I have been having this migraine for more than 2 weeks now. And I felt a lump in my neck. Then he examined my ears, my nose and my eyes. He said there was no infection. Then suddenly, He ask me, are you experiencing a lot of stress these past few weeks. And I said yes. After that he gave me my prescription and paid my bill. I walk out of the clinic.

I didn't know that stress would cause that kind of pain. Usually even if I have stress, I don't get migraine. It was really true. For the people out there, try to live a balance life and try to be happy because if you don't it will manifest in you. A migraine, a pimple, eyebags or maybe even cancer.

Live healthy and leave happy!

Random Thoughts 2

I feel like writing today, It's a good day today!

The Weather Man

The weather is freaking fantastic! Actually, it's really gloomy outside. Rain pouring in like there's no tomorrow. But I like it. Am I weird? Some people doesn't like that kind of weather but for me I really love it. It's so peaceful outside, people are in their houses doesn't want to go out. I suggest to put on your favorite sweatshirt doesn't necessarily be new.
It's a good time for a hot soup or coffee probably then a good background music (not those suicidal songs) chill-out music perhaps. After dinner, a glass of vodka currant in you're hand while nibbling on some nachos. Doesn't matter if you're with a love one or not. Just try to enjoy it. Feel the serenity of the weather. Ahhh Just love it!

The Homecoming

On November 18, My mother will be coming home. Mixed emotions coming in but the primary feeling is excitement. It has been a year since my mother left for the US. My brother petitioned him there. In my excitement, I bought new curtains (as in the works, curtain rods and hooks). Partly it's a cover up hehehe. The business she left, kinda fell down but I still manage to retain it but there was a big lost so I'm kind of scared also hehehe

I also got some new ornaments for the our xmas tree.
I wanted a gold motif so i bought some gold beads, poinsettia, lace. All Gold! Since I'm on a gold motif hehehe The curtains that I bought was matte gold with gold linings. Hahaha I know what's with the GOLD thing. I posted some pictures: (sorry for the lighting i just used a webcam)


The golden Christmas tree : It's about 8 Feet, I think. The angel on top is a foot away from the ceiling hahaha. I normally don't do this (posting pictures for all of cyberspace to see) but I really love what I've done with the tree.



The Curtains : The curtains is gold too but not the yellow gold but matte, creamish (inventing my own words again hehehe). It looks expensive but I got it from a sale hehehe.




Balls of Fury: Do you see that red things on the right? hehehe the picture is so dark. Last year my motif was for the tree was red. I don't know what to do with those RED BALLS! hahaha So what I did was to tied up the RED BALLS (funny! bwahaha i can't get over it) then hang them! hahaha


BRUNO :
The Christmas German Shepard Stuff Toy (try to say that 10 times hehehe)


MORE CURTAIN SHOTS!


And finally, The Traditional Nativity Scene. I think Christmas decors will not be complete. Besides who's birthday is it anyway?

I think Christmas would be better because my mother is coming home. Yahoo!

==================================

Fixing a Broken Heart

It was broken ever since so what's the point in fixing it. hehehe Maybe I should get a new one. Don't yah think?

The Battle Continues



I apologize because most of my blog about my weight lost is mostly discouraging. I feel that I am not exerting enough effort. As I've said on my previous blog it is really hard. Here are the main reason and I guess some people could relate to it.

1. People saying that you're fat - Whenever some people see me and say that I'm really big I feel bad. I feel that I am worthless and the effort that I've exerted is useless.

2. Dining out or Goin
g Out - I wanted to see my friends but I dread it at the same time because I would be eating food that I cannot control. Most of the time we would order different dishes mostly high in carbs and fats. It's hard to stay away. I don't want to seclude myself.

3. Food at the House - Normally what I would do is to separate the food that I eat but whenever I see the food that was cooked for my house mates I get tempted.

4. Alone in the gym - I think it should be a protocol to have a gym buddy. It would be funner to go to the gym because you get motivated and you won't notice the work that you are doing. Though there is a downside, you might end up eating after the workout.

5. Personal Problem - if you have personal problem like family, financial or even love that might affect you a lot. I am an emotional eater so a small trigger would get me off track and start binging in food.


Anyway, I usually weigh myself in the gym, It has been a while since I was able to go to the gym. When I went out with a friend last Sunday, the Mercury drug weighing grabbed my attention. So I tried it on. The last measurement I did was last November of 2006 and my weight then was 240. I tried again after a year and I got 212. so it's like 2lbs in a month, damn I need to increase my effort.
