Aaachooo! Sniff, sniff… aaachooo!

Yes, I’m suffering an allergy episode right now. Must be the weather and also maybe because I have been restless and lacking sleep during the weekend because the youngest child had fever while the son had asthma attack episodes.

When I get tired and lack sleep, when I smell paint and other strong chemical smells and when the weather is gray because the sky is cloudy and there is no sunshine, I suffer.

What would I do without you, sunshine? *giggles at this private joke shared between friends*

I take matters in my own hands when allergy strikes. I drink more vit C, take much needed rest (sleep!) and have natural remedies like teas and what-nots. I just had two raw banana plantains and a cup of warm lemongrass tea with wild honey. And crushed garlic. Argh.

I am not a fan of doctors and hospitals: I am not fond of the smell of antiseptic and hospitals, having a check-up, going to the ER, getting an ecg, and most especially going to an OR (been there once) and DR (been there thrice).

I wish this feeling would go away. Soon. I can’t bear the sniffles and the sneezes.

Been drinking a fiber supplement for several weeks now in the hope that these will be safe fat burners. I don’t know if there is an effect on the weight management I’ve been trying to do but it definitely made others noticed that there’s improvement. Of sorts.

Hah.

I know I feel better because this makes me drink more. I feel thirsty and I know I have to drink because if I don’t I feel my lips (not the mouth) go a bit dry.

I’ll be continuing with this for several weeks more and see how effective the supplement is.

I don’t drink this on weekend though.

Hurrah! for Starbucks because they are implementing “No Smoking” in all stores. I wonder if I would see people there using ecigarette.

Why would they not have this tule, there is a “No Smoking in Public” law of RA 9211 or Tobacco Regulation that was passed.

For those who are allergic to smoke like me and those who have asthma, this is definitely something we have to say we approve of. Yey!

There will be designated smoking areas for the smokers and I’m sure I wouldn’t want to venture in those area 😉 How would people know if these are the designated areas for smoking, authorities say they will put big drums with sand inside. I really hope the authorities will be strict in implementing these rules and not just be strict at the beginning of the implementation.

To smokers, you are not being told to NOT smoke, you can smoke all you want, only in the designated areas where you are supposed to smoke. Ktnxbai.

I miss my Zumba classes. Zumba classes started on the first week of June but I haven’t enrolled yet.

I want to but I had to get back into the “school days” routine first before I enroll. I also want to have new clothes even if these are not Zumba Wear, LOL. Yes, I’d like to think that I’m a Zumba dancer! Woohoo!

I do dance when I’m home, when I can dance like no one is watching but it is a different thing when doing it with others. You don’t want to sit down and rest because everyone else is exerting so much effort and you’d be inspired to give your best. You want to really, really sit and keep the thumping heart at bay.

I really hope I can enroll next month.

Someone has been busy all summer lifting weights and eating lean meat to boost muscle development. This young Johnny Bravo wanna-be even asked me about what the best creatine supplement is.

Whoa! I told the young man is slow down first, enjoy the benefits of his efforts and not take anything without a doctor’s advice first. I told him it’s best if he lift weights with a professional’s advice too and not do it alone and without guidance.

He may have heeded my advice because he said he is convincing his dad to have him get a gym membership after his 18th birthday. Yey!

So many weight loss solution options: high fiber supplement, sensa weight loss, herbal supplements, water therapy, dancexercise, vegetarian diet and whole lot of what-not.

Sometimes it feels like I’ve read more weight loss reviews than literature I needed for my college thesis.

Yes. I want to keep the bulge off or maybe keep the weight in an acceptable number though by just reading about it won’t make me lose what I need to lose, right?it’s not just the weight loss, it’s the health benefits. *rolls eyes*

If there’s one thing that I need to do would be to get up, stretch, and monitor my time in front of this gadget. Is there an auto shot-off program I can use?
