Safety at Work

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

I saw one of the butchers from the grocery store today and he wasn't wearing any safety gloves. The only thing protecting him was a pair of plastic gloves which was designed to keep the meat clean, not for protection. I was cringing while watching him slice the baby back ...

Kids’ Safety

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

The Weighing Game

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

I have no need for apidexin when I am losing a pound a week. If I'm lucky, I'd be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by December. I have breastfeeding to thank for, I guess. I'm also refraining from eating anything dairy because we suspect that Meg's tummy aches have something ...

I’m Happy to Note

Sleep Never Comes

Friday, June 11th, 2010

I am this close to taking sleeping pills. The baby is getting so huge I am having trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position. My eye bags are humongous and I feel so sluggish each time I wake up from my intermittent sleep. My work and parenting are suffering a bit. ...

Bad Skin is Back

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I was always bragging about how clear and young looking my skin was ever since I got pregnant. This morning however, I was shocked to see in our car's mirror that my nose has been replaced by blackhead. It was the first time in months that I checked my face ...

Too Good to Be True?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Speaking of quick weight loss plan, my friend just lost a whopping 10kgs and she looks good! Her secret? She doesn't eat, at all. In fact, there was this one time when a doctor had to inject potassium because she couldn't get up from the bed anymore. Definitely wrong. But ...
