Beach Babe

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I’m not at all a beach babe and I definitely don’t have the body to show off at Boracay but what the heck fat or not I enjoyed the beach and I had my share of swimming along the island without my cover-up but I’m too shy to post those pictures here LOL I’m glad that somehow I’m not that fat anymore, would you believe I lost 25lbs in just three months. Should I be worried with the rapid weight loss? Nah, I know I didn’t take anything like lipovox or starved myself to diet I just tried to eat healthy foods and do the exercise I’m allowed to do and slowly I am reaping the fruit of my discipline. I’ve never felt so good as I feel today ever since I got sick with lupus.

Getting in Shape

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Summer is the time for swimming and a time to display those beautiful curves. Yeah, right! Since I’ve been taking steroids for the past six years it’s expected that I have gained weight and I even became so fat that no clothes can fit me anymore. It’s depressing and makes you want to try out weight loss pills but somehow I survived being fat and with the right diet and exercise, I am slowly getting back in shape despite the steroids.

Mesothelioma

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Lupus maybe a chronic disease but I still think cancer is the most dreadful illness of all. My family has its share of heartbreaking losses because of various cancers that struck my loved-ones and this is why I want to learn more about cancer. Its common symptoms, causes and possible treatments. Today, I learned about mesothelioma its asbestos that caused cancer of the serous membranes that surround many of the body’s vital organs. I guess, it helps to be informed and prevention is still best than cure. We can fight cancer and any other illnesses, just always keep the faith and trust in God.

Dream House

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I consider myself blessed that I never experienced the fear of losing my home because my parents already made sure that we have our own house. Even when my parent’s relationship turned sour and decided to split up my mom made it certain that we will have our own house in that way we won’t be burdening ourselves in paying up the rent and worrying that we can be displaced anytime. My mom always told us the benefit of owning your own home and it’s a security investment that you can never lose. Now that I’m earning on my own I wanted to put my earnings in a secure and worthy investment something that will benefit me in the near future. I am now saving for my own car which I plan to acquire later this year and after that I plan to apply for mortgage in getting my own house. Not that I’m planning to leave home or anything but I just want to see where my earnings can take me and it will be such a big accomplishment once I am already a homeowner. I’m not really a plan ahead kind of person, since I have to consider the uncertainty of my lupus but I don’t see anything wrong in dreaming and wishing it’ll come true someday.
