Women’s Health

Women are prone to health issues as they grow older. Well, men do too, as they grow older.

There are different health conditions that may affect women as they age, menopause and hot flashes for one, vaginal dryness, memory gap, urinary tract infection, depression, migraine, osteo-arthritis and a list of conditions we don’t want to hear happen to us.

This is probably the reason why we have resolved to be healthier and more fit as we celebrate each new year.

With a long list of women’s health concerns, what is it that you dread to hear the doctor say to you?

Warm Pool Waters

We were invited to go to a swimming picnic yesterday.

We dd not accept readily because my two younger kids had fever last week and they weren’t too keen to go.

Anyway, we still went since the people who invited us are close friends who are like family to us.

I chanced upon Tony (an in-law of this family who invited us and who we just met yesterday) was doing a sketch in a sketch pad he gave to the birthday girl who was the reason for the party.

He drew this:

Not as fancy like las vegas hotels but for a short weekend getaway with warm pool waters and a view of a mountain with cool breeze, this is one we would not forego.

How was your weekend?

Exotic Cars

I will ask my 7 year old son to enumerate encode the different names of exotic cars that he knows and loves to watch on his favorite TV shows and YouTube channels about rides::

  • McLaren F1
  • Ferrari F60
  • Maserati MC12
  • Porsche 911 Turbo
  • BMW M6
  • Mercedes Benz SLR
  • Buggati Veyron
  • Lamborghini Reventon
  • Lotus Exige
  • Aston Martin DB9
  • Acura NSX
  • Thanks, Julian. He wanted to encode some more but I told him that these would do for now.

    Exotic cars are wonderful but are very expensive. Ferrari parts and services alone would probably mean a fortune for us who can only dream of having these cars.

    For now, we just contend ourselves with this:

    A Ferrari F50 1 : 18 Scale model 😉

    New Year’s Eve

    We are obligated to join hubby’s family tonight for an early dinner because its his brother’s birthday.

    We would have wanted to just stay in the house because it gets a bit nasty when the clock is nearer 12 o’clock. Almost the whole country mimics a war zone due to firecrackers being fired. Everywhere its smoky and noisy and dangerous.

    The moneyed ones have fireworks display. City governments schedule fireworks display in key places at the stroke of midnight to lure away the people from their homes so that they would not light up firecrackers.

    I personally know of a family whose home was almost burned down due to these practices. Yes, that was a tragic thing to happen on new year’s eve itself.

    We spent the first few days of 2007 in the hospital because of a severe asthma attack that my son suffered. We wouldn’t want to have that repeated. Should I have stacked safety equipment then like respiratory protection?

    Personally I always wish for rains during new year’s eve, for my own selfish benefits and its been drizzling since we woke up. To that I say “Woohoo!” (insert Plurk banana dance here)

    Christmas Vacation

    Yeah, Christmas vacation is extra long this year. From December 25th till January 24th.

    Another yeah, this is absurd.

    The banks are closed too, except for some who saw fit to conduct business. I am also concerned about the production side. How would we fare with the supplies especially when the holidays “demand” we get these for the food to be had? Companies are required to pay these workers more which will further give them more cost that what is necessary. Oh well, their problem, not mine.

    Sure, bonding time with family is going to be reinforced. But vacation time means:
