That’s what my mother used to say. I’m 43 yrs old this year.. but i don’t look my age. Whenever i tell ppl .. i am really 43 years old.. they asked what i use as wrinkle cream..?? but you see .. i don’t use wrinkle cream… i used anti wrinkle cream, never wait for those wrinkles to come out before you do something about it. Proactive is the word..!
*Sigh!* Gotta Be Dracula Again
Well.. i went for another blood test today .. for my hemoglobin and the results came out this afternoon.. and the doctor’s office called. Knowing that they called immediately .. i knew it wasn’t a good thing. Yes.. the hemoglobin went up.. by 30 points.. but not enough.. according to my family doctor for the up and coming operation. So i’ve to go get tested for cross matching again.. and go for my blood test again..!! Another chance to be dracula.
And you know what..??? i feel awfully bad.. that i am taking so much blood .. when there are ppl who really needs it more than I. These blood can save alot of ppl.. and i am just sucking it all up.. suxs..!!
In Preparation Of My Pending Operation
Yes.. in pending of my operation .. i tried really hard not to clean up after Chloe.. or the mess she makes.. after they are done playing in the tv room. My tv room. .and the kitchen.. is filled with boxes of Chloe’s toys. So i tried.. but today.. as i vacuumed the floor.. i knew there was no way.. i can take it anymore.. and started cleaning out. Packing and discarding.. and moving her boxes around.. so we have more room in the tv room.
I don’t know what I am gonna do .. once i get my operation.. come home.. and need to get rested..?? When i had chloe .. 3 days later.. i was home.. cooking .. washing. .and back to the store.. taking care of the Christmas rush. This time.. with my fibroids operation.. i really donch forsee any difference. I will still have to get up and cook for myself.. and clean.. and vacuum… and do dishes.. and wat not..! *sigh* .. wished i was home.
Meeting An Old Friend
I met PB’s buddy ex-girlfriend the other day at the mall and the once plump looking gal has gone all skinny. Well.. not skinny, skinny.. if you know what i mean.. just lost alot of weight.. and she even looked slightly different. In fact, it took me a couple of seconds to recognize her. Of course I didn’t asked her how she lost the weight.. or what was the cause of it.. coz’ i didn’t wanna appear rude. I wonder if she is on some kinda super diet pill or what.. ?? but whatever it is .. she is doing.. she sure looked different.. alot more confident.
Manicure..??
Thanks to everyone who commented that I’ve nice hands and manicured fingers. Truth be told.. i haven’t gone for a manicure since I was pregnant with Chloe. I had such back morning sickness.. i can’t go anywheres at all. And if i do managed to get outta the house.. i would be getting a panic attack.. and PB would have to turn around.. and get me.
After Chloe was born.. i was too overwhelm.. in between helping PB at the store..and managing the employees.. and of course taking a chunk of my time was looking after Chloe.. who never sleeps. Plus the main reason for not doing any manicure no more is because they do it quite differently here. The girl who does my manicure .. seems always in a hurry.. it was quite a different experience that you get here.. as compared to Asia. In Asia.. they try to let you relax.. and enjoy it.. here .. they are so pack.. sometimes.. they forget they are not finished with you .. while attending to another customer. And no . .i don’t do nothing with my fingers.. just cut my own nails. What a huge difference from being back home.. where i get a manicure every 3 weeks. I missed home.
Miami Vacation With SideStep
Vacations are great wherever you choose to go. I guess for some it is a great bonding time to be the family and for others it is for experiencing a new culture, new sights and scene. And for some who loves food, it is the all new and authentic food that one can only get in that particular country.
One of my most memorable holiday was in Miami Beach. I am pretty sure.. that everyone has heard or seen on brochures and tv what a fraction of Miami Beach looks like. Blessed by good weather all year round, Miami seems to have the most tourist whatever time you choose to go. And the beaches stretches like there were no end to it.. and the people on the beaches.. you would think people don’t ever work in Miami and not forgetting the water sports they offer there. It was certainly a fun & unforgettable holiday for me.
Of course Miami is not only about the beaches and hotels, there were plenty of other things that we did too. Like the Miami Boat show, a spectacular 5 days event and we did the art walk, shopped at Sunset Place, visited Little Havana and all these were made possible because we were smart enough to rent a car in miami. In fact, using SideStep, one can plan your whole vacation through them for their search engine is very comprehensive and with the access of a large database of over 200 travel websites, thus bringing you the very best travel values that you cannot find elsewhere.
Chloe’s School Orientation
Chloe went for her orientation for her school starting this fall. She did so well.. we were taken by surprised. She just followed the teacher .. and the rest of the student .. to another class for playing .. and doing exercises.. and even had a snack. No crying.. no fussing.. absolutely cool.. and happy. Even the teachers said.. she was really a happy kid. I cannot be more proud of my brat…! I wanna cry.. 😉
They place a cute sticker with her name as soon as we got into class.
Well.. you know how chloe is like.. as soon as she sat down.. she started drawing.
This was one of the classroom we saw in the school. I think they are for her next year classroom.. but I’m not too, too sure.
Summer Vacation
I am looking forward to our vacation this summer. Even though i have a pending surgery soon for my fibroids, the gynae’s secretary had assured me that come August i would be up and running. Now that we have a little brat with us, we have to get a sturdy and a bigger luggage. We choose to buy the Briggs and Riley brand because they are known to be great for frequent travelers and I really foresee doing alot of it .. this summer around the province.
Once Again .. Dracula Is Fed
Yes..! once again.. the Dracula in me .. is fed. The nurse that did my drip the last 2 times wasn’t around.. so another nurse did it. And guess what..?? blood was dripping all over.. and oozing right out. Yup..! joy..! but all is well. i didn’t lose alot of blood.. and i still got a whole bag of it. More pictures to follow. In fact.. i have fun when i am at the hospital.. talking about politics.. and the town.
This was the room i was in for my blood transfusion.
Pumping blood into me now.
Relaxing the hand .. else very painful.
1 Unit of blood today.
About an hour into being Dracula for the day.
Dracula I Will Be Tomorrow
Yes.. ! tomorrow.. i get to be dracula again.. and this time.. we hope to bring the hemoglobin high enough for my surgery. On the same note.. because I’m diabetic.. they need to sorta conferred with other internal doctors.. before doing the operation on me. Today’s doctor appointment.. was like meeting with secret service. Everything .. everyone also donch know.. and more tests is asked for. I tell yer.. i’ve never been to the hospital as many times.. in my entire life.. other than right now. It’s almost crazy..!!
