Honey, where's the honey?

I've had this cough for almost a week now(?). I don't recall when it started, but one thing for sure: it just WON'T go away!

I for one, am not a believer in using modern medicine ..unless it is deemed to. I prefer to let my antibody work and try to heal itself. (namah shivaya) But I guess my antibody is not in a condition as it used to. :-( .... But I remembered an old method that I read somewhere... Honey.

In fact, in a study, honey appeared to be as effective as a common cough suppressant ingredient, dextromethorphan, in typical over-the-counter doses. Since honey is low-cost and widely available, it might be worth a try. So a cuppa honey I did have.

I am not a person who drinks hot stuff, but for the sake of my cough... I forced myself to drink a cup of hot honey - and surprisingly, I LOVE IT!!! The picture above is actually my 3rd cup of hot honey. :D

Hope it'll work it's magic on me.

Now before I end this post (and probably go blog hopping before continuing with my sesi melipat kain.. eeeeek!) I'm gonna post a picture specially for the pretty Fay.

A view on one part of my mini studio which I call: The mood uplifter side. It's a side where I hang stuffs that gives me the happy mood. :D

One pic can la kan?? The other part of the studio is still in a mess - trust me, you wouldn't want to see it. Ha ha ha! Tunggu kena kemas then I take some pics ya? :P

Okay lah, going to fold the clothes now before I get too lazy again.

Am I going to ..... ?

I've been having my period for over 2 weeks now. (This is my first. Normally it'll be 3 days only) Am I supposed to worry?? Should I start writing down my will???

I searched for an answer from online these few days, and this is one of the many answers I found:

Every aspect of a women's cycle is sensitive to many changes from hormonal, uterine, ovarian, and blood issues. Having a long period 1 time is not really that concerning, but bleeding for more than 1 week multiple cycles requires an investigation. The bleeding you experienced is called Menorrhagia, meaning excessive menstrual bleeding at the normal time. I'll discuss some of the causes below. 1. Clotting disorders - If you have a blood clotting problem, it can manifest as heavy bleeding during your cycle. 2. Uterine fibroids - Very common benign uterine tumor. They may be removed if pregnancy is desired down the road, or removed through hysterectomy if no more children are desired. 3. Uterine polyps - These are small growths in the uterus that can bleed excessively 4. Adenomyosis - Growth of the inner lining of the uterus into the outer layer. Number one is diagnosed with simple blood tests. Numbers 2-4 can be diagnosed through imaging such as an ultrasound.

Guess I'll give it a few days more before going to the OBGYN. By the way, where's the OBGYN in KK? Never been to one...

here comes the weekend (again)

So my last post was made last Sunday. Exactly a week ago. Eww.. I am getting lazier by day when it comes to blog posting. Or blog hopping. I guess the blog mojo has left the building. However, in order to provide my future generation some reading pleasure, I vow to make at least one post per week.

So I just did yoga this morning. My mind wasn't really focusing at the "eye point" and the Ujjayi breathing was made short. Instead of 5, I think I was breathing like once or twice per pose. Well blame it on the movie Bunny's watching! He was watching the stupid but funny movie - Your Highness - so I was in between folding myself and watching at the same time.

Yes, I am practicing my yoga once again..after soooooo many years. I can hardly do some of the poses nowadays.. but for slimming health purpose, I am willing to start all over again. I am taking very less carb nowadays too. Yay for me! :D

However (didn't I just used that word not so long ago??) I am still fat lah... And you know why?



Coz I am always hungry..... :(

P/S We just got some new pets in the form of a cat and 3 kittens!!! :D But I'm gonna talk about it some other time. Too lazy to post lah.. I wanna go out and get me some breakfast/lunch/dinner!

minor food poisoning

adui, matilah aku ni... :(

unwell :(

I hate having very sensitive stomach. Not only I have bad gastric problem, my stomach decides what and which food she likes - and she changes her mind quite often too!

Take for instance, a month ago: I got myself a jar of my favorite peanut butter -I used to watch my favorite shows on TV, eating peanut butter like there's no tomorrow - I sat in front of TV watching CSI, licking peanut butter off the spoons.. and a few minutes later.. BAM! My stomach churned and I ran to the bath and puked my life out! To this day, whenever I see peanut butter, it feels like I've seen a ghost. I get all phobia and sick to my stomach.

And today... I had this terrible stomachache from eating spicy nasi lemak for breakfast. It left me turning and tossing on the bed the whole morning till afternoon. Even the cooling effect of the rain doesn't help much. By noon, I got the strength to stand up and buy my lunch, which is this:


I don't have the appetite to eat heavy lunch such as rice or noodle, hence I end up with this "fried bananas". But guess what? After eating only 5 piece of it, I end up running to the bath again....

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just lie on the bed and die.

depressed :(

I think I'm slowly sinking into depression again, only this time, it wasn't because the lack of love. It's because of the stupid sickness I had with me since 1991. Gastric ulcer.

How would you feel if you have abdominal pain every time you eat something? Or whenever you go to bed, you had to grit your teeth because your stomach hurts like hell? Even not eating gives terrible stomach pain. Let's not forget hard, solid foods that hurts the stomach (intestines). And the latest, drinking tea (which happened to be my favorite drink) induces vomiting. If those symptoms happened to you, I'm sure you'll feel irritated and depressed like me too..

I just threw up my whole lunch not too long ago, after drinking milk tea. The experience of sitting on the cold bathroom floor with my head on the toilet bowl was not something I enjoy doing. In fact, it was so painful, I cried like a baby... Took me almost 30 minutes to gain my strength to drag myself on the bed. To divert myself from feeling sorry about the whole situation, I turned to my notebook and viewed some old photos..

And then I saw this:



A photo of my dogs, Girly and BonBon with their neighbor (my cousin's dog) ZengZeng. It was supposed to be a happy photo, because I took the photo back in November, when my parents and I went to clear the graves of my late sister and grandmother. The dogs definitely enjoyed themselves that day, because there were so many space for them to run and hide from each other.

BonBon, the black dog, died on the eve of New Year 2009. On the morning before his departure, he went into my room, as usual, to greet me good morning.. and went back to his usual sleeping place. He was very sick then. I went to his bedside, stroke his head and told him how much I love him and how I wish he would get well soon, so he could wear the collar I bought him for Christmas. I went to my father's estate that morning, only to come back by noon with the news that BonBon had passed.

That thought made me sobbed even more.

I miss him so much.. I still couldn't look at his photos without shedding a tear. :(

Gosh, I think I'm going crazy today... all thanks to this stupid gastric.

Huzzah, Praise Ye Lord!

I feel quite healthy today, even danced to Shontelle's "T-Shirt" and singing outloud with Sinead's "Thank You" holding a glass full of milk! The joy of being healthy, I guess. Haha!

And oh, have I told you about my new violin? :P


I'm getting better with my violin playing by day. Muahahahaha am so excited about this!

OK gotta go. Cupcake waiting on my table. :D

sick

It's been 6 days and I am still sick. Been spending my days watching Grey's Anatomy, Merlin, Dexter.. I can't remember what else.

*sigh*

I'm as good as dead.

I'm making a list and checking it twice.. and i suck

Just a few days more before I take that flight back home, yet here I am, still not done with my Christmas shopping! Panic mode is beginning to slip in. Damnit it's Friday already. If I don't shop today, I'll get stuck in between people's armpit tomorrow at the shopping mall. Weekends are definitely NOT a good idea to shop on holiday season like this here in KL.

By hook or by crook, I have to buy my new clothes and shoes TODAY. But damn.. I'm having my period and the fact that it's the first day (not forgetting the PAIN) and my mood is getting rotten by the hour is not helping at all.

Damnit! Sometimes I hate being a woman. MEN SHOULD GET PERIOD INSTEAD!

Flabuless Plan

Wow, I woke up pretty early today: like at 3PM! I went to bed at 8 this morning. Hmm.. that means I only had 7 hours of sleep. Which is fine. :-P

Anyway, my stomach felt like an air baloon. So bloated with air! I think it has something to do with the meal replacement I've been taking. Hehe.. yep. In an attempt to lose some weight, I've been replacing my dinner with these "meal replacement" stuff. You know, those diet drink that controls your calorie intake. No idea if it'll work, been only taking it for 2 nights.

Will let you know if it works.

In the meantime, I think I'll get back to my Yoga practice. It's been a while since I last did it. And oh, about the plan on going to gym.. I think I'll cancel it.. for the time being. At least wait till I've lose some weight maybe. HAHAHAHA!


Yoga Zone: Yoga for Weight Loss - here I come!
(lets see how long I'll stick with this yoga thingy...)

uZapping..

While waiting for my download to get over with, I'm surfing the Net and uZapping myself..


HOPEFULLY it works on getting rid of my stubborn fat tummy!! :-P

Yay Flowers!!

I think I love being sick now, because I get flowers! Hahahaha!

Running out of time..

Gawd, it's October 25th already. Exactly 2 months before Christmas...and I am still FAT.

2 years of not being back in the town where my parents currently resides.

2 years of not showing myself to the townsfolks.

2 years of fat piling in my body.

I was a skinny, popular girl before I left that town!!!

Time to Yahoo! (I hardly use Google) "how to lose weight in 1 month".

Cough

Cough.

Cough.

Cough.

Cough.

I can't stop coughing!!!! >.<

Sick..

I'm down with flu, cough & fever.

Oh.. this is gonna suck. :-(

Not So Well

Gawd, I hate being a woman!

OK, not all the time but during THIS time of the month. I was trying to enjoy my dinner when I had this sudden pain in my stomach. I thought it was another gastric attack (as usual) until I reached home when I saw this "stain" on my panty. Grrrrr!!!! I don't know why but I am EXTREMELY irritated and agitated when I saw that!

Gosh.. I hate having my period. It's so annoying!!!! Why do us women had to endure all this?! And worse, why do I have to endure SO MUCH PAIN whenever I'm having it?

:-(

Huff Puff.. I Am Taebo'ing :P

At 4 in the morning, I did a round of Taebo in my bedroom. It was great! Hope I'll manage to lose some weight before Christmas. :P

And right after Taebo, here I am, seated at my desk again staring at the Notebook. I need to design a theme for my brother's latest blog. Can't tell you the link just yet, at least till I'm done with the design that is - or if he decides to announce about his new blog on his current blog.

Oh by the way, the jamu I'm drinking right now is extremely bitter. Yuck!

PS: I'm having a slight headache tho. Must be from jumping too much. Haha..
