I Am Asthmatic, too :(

I mentioned in my previous post that I wasn’t able to report for work for 4 days last week. I experienced difficulty in breathing and I usually end up catching my breath especially when climbing up a staircase or a footbrigde. I went to see a pulmonary doctor last Wednesday and he advised me to undergo Pulmonary Function Test. I went to Medical City last Sunday to undergo the test.

Well, the test has not been that easy. The following day, I went back to my doctor and he explained to me the result. He said that I am asthmatic, too. Anyway, asthma runs in our family. He said that I have it all along, I just ignore or I was able to tolerate it then. I told him that I volunteered in PAWS and we have cats at home. He said that he will not stop me from volunteering and from taking care of my pets, because he can that those are my happiness. The catch there is, I will be on medication for 3 months. Every month he will re-assess me.

I am just praying that I will not have any serious attack. Please pray for me. Thank you.

Ciao!

Stretch Marks Dilemma

Beauty and Health No Comments »

Stretch marks have been a dilemma not only of pregnant women but the ones who just gave birth as well. I must admit that I went through this problem as well. I was just talking to my friend who just gave birth and she is so worried about the stretch marks she has. I told her that there are a lot of stretch marks cream available in the market that will solve her problem. There are different manufacturers who offer good deals and dependable products.

Judy told me as well that as per pharmacist view, stretch marks can actually be prevented by the usage of moisturizers especially with cocoa butter. She said that, that is the active ingredient of most lotions that claim to have the capability of preventing stretch marks. Thanks for that info Judy!

And, you must be very patient and never forget to apply cream or moisturize. Always remember that patience is a virtue.

History Mystery

In the News No Comments »

While I am waiting for my friend Judy, I scrubbed my outlook and check for emails that needs to be deleted. I found an email sent by my dear tl and this is really interesting that I couldn’t help myself but share with you. It is possible that you have read this before, but for the benefit of those who haven’t seen or read this yet, this one’s for you.

Have a history teacher explain this—– if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln’s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named ‘Ford.’
Kennedy was shot in a car called ‘ Lincoln ‘ made by ‘Ford.’

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here’s the kicker…

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
