Another blow has hit the nation.
Typhoon Ondoy might have left the country and although the flood has subsided, it has left indelible memory to almost all of us, a very horrific one.
Many people were displaced as 80% of Metro Manila including Marikina and Rizal was submerged in muddy water. CNN reports that more than 100, 000 are homeless and there are about 100 people died.
People are left with hope and the will to move on and start their lives anew. Many hospitals were also affected as I have seen on TV that include the UERM hospital on Aurora Blvd. and Amang Rodriguez hospital in Marikina. Much as they want to open their doors and lend assistance to those who need medical treatment, their medical equipment was also soaked in and damaged by muddy water.
Everyone in the metro and nearby areas are looking forward to faster recovery through immediate relief and rescue operations.

Ever since I have I caught this disease, I have been trying to go natural, besides going vegetarian. Even in choosing beauty products, I almost always choose those that are chemical free and if possible organically produced. Like this lip gloss from Burt’s Bees, that uses all natural ingredients in most of their products.
Burt’s Bees is more than lip balm.

When I volunteered to help Nanay in setting up an appointment for an interview at US Embassy, I have no idea what number to dial on my cell phone. The last thing I want to do is to hassle my officemates looking it up on the intranet so I took the liberty of using the web directory which I found very dandy.

I have been trying to be on fruit and vegetable diet since I need to eat low salt and low fat foods. Going green and fruity really aids in digestion and it serves as sort of colon cleanser. Like a dieter’s diet plan, I also have my cheat days but I am trying to deal away with it because the more I indulge the more I become prone to abusing my “liberty”.

I got a text from my officemate asking for my dentist’s address. Her gums are swollen ad her dentist is nowhere to be found for almost a year already.
He braces have been removed by my dentist and she is scheduled for a fitting of retainers today. I told her to get dental discounts from the dentist.

After all possible efforts of calling the US Embassy has been exhausted, we have decided to schedule an appointment online. VisaPoint charges USD 10.00 for the procedure which is reasonable for a hassle free transaction.
Now, Nanay has been scheduled for an interview on Monday, September 28th. I hope that she gets approved to gain an entry to the US in order for her to enjoy the orlando vacations that have been awaiting her all these years.

My sister’s mother-in-law plans to go to the US for a vacation and to see her mother-in-law who has just undergone bypass surgery.
I volunteered to call the US Embassy for the interview appointment. I got a text from my sister thanking me for walking the extra mile helping out. It was nothing seriously, the least I could d for them since they let me stay at their place. Just when I thought that I’d be of help, toll free access on my cell phone does not seem to work.
How could I even get photo holiday cards if I can’t make it work?

Okay, I just finished raiding the fridge and I am having this monstrous appetite for almost a week already. I can see that I am gaining quite a number of pounds especially in the mid-section of my body. I am thinking of hitting the gym again since I have some time to spare. I do not want to come to a point when popping in weight loss pills as one of my options to get rid of my love handles.

This is the time of the month when I am having voracious appetite. I am on steroids for almost a year already and I do not think it has something to do with my food cravings. I think I am just hormonal and if this does not stop, I would be needing appetite suppressants to prevent me from bloating unstoppably.
GTG, I need to shove something down my throat.

Now that my training at LCP was over, I have a longer bedtime period but just when I thought that I actually have a longer time to doze off, it is really hard for me to get a good night sleep. I always wake up to a sore neck, back or torso. And I think I have my bed cushion to blame. I have this bed since birth and I think it’s about time for me to say goodbye to it and say hello to a new night nest.
I would probably look for a bed that has bed wedges so I could enjoy a good night rest.
