Posted on March 11, 2010 - Filed Under Health | 1 Comment
I love spicy food that I even put chili in almost everything that I cook. That’s why I loved McDonald’s spicy mcchicken. Before, my stomach didn’t get upset for at least 8 hours after hot and spicy food intake. Now, I normally take a trip to the toilet less than an hour […]

My mother is still in her mid-fifties. But she is already complaining about painful joints. In fact, when I was in my teens, she suffered a kind of arthritis that kept her bedridden for days. Thank God, she recovered from it. I didn’t know until I last came home that she […]

Since I came here, I’ve received a number of calls from insurance people trying to make me sign up for Medicare supplement insurances. I don’t really like talking to sales people not because they take so much of my time, rather, I find it hard to say “no”. I hope people in sales […]

My mother often tells me that she used to be very skinny. It’s hard to believe if not for those black and white photos of her in her teens and early twenties. Now, her wide hip has been “overshadowed” by the other bulges. She even told me that she would even take […]

I’ve been hooked to the current season of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) since it started on October 4th. I am a fan of Melai, the sassiest housemate. There was even a time when I stay up until 3AM because the activities started at 1AM! Seems like all the things I got from […]

Have you ever noticed that people who often wear eyeglasses have bigger eyebags? Or is it just because the eyeglasses partly cover the eyebags that the eyebags become very noticeable once the eyeglasses are taken off? I have been wearing eyeglasses since I was 12 years old that I have forgotten if I have […]

“Ningas-kugon” is how I describe my effort in leading a healthy lifestyle. When I was still in Japan, I felt I needed a fitness equipment because it was cold at […]

When I was still in Japan, I think I managed to lose weight almost effortlessly. Especially during cold season, I tend to lose weight as opposed to the majority. Was it because of bathing with almost 40C water or constant intake of green tea? Even in summer, despite my craving for icecream […]
