Long Over-due Post

Oh wow,  I didn't realize that I haven't updated this blog for so long!






Just a quick run down on the possible topics for discussion on this blog on the next few days (hopefully, lol) and to explain why I have been MIA for so long :

  • got offered a job while I wasn't actually looking for one
  • got one of my impacted wisdom teeth extracted
  • update on CC
  • update on my gallstones / over-all well-being

I will be updating these topics with the links once the post has been done. :)

Thanks for following my blog. Chat with you soon!

This was CC's first time to drink Melon juice. I guess she loved it. LOL

Day 9: Buah Merah Mix

November 29, Sunday (2nd & 3rd dose)

I wasn't able to wake up early to catch the morning sun. Since the church we attend was celebrating their anniversary, they were not holding any services in Greenbelt today. We had a lie-in and CC and I just played in bed while watching her current favorite YouTube video - Dream English Kids' Good Morning Song. Ha Ha! While CC was playing, she lost her balance and landed on my upper right abdomen (as I was lying down) where my gallbladder was! OUCH! I almost cried in pain!

Anyways, C got CC so I can recover a bit from the pain. We dressed up to go to my in-laws' house. I drank my 2nd dose of Buah Merah Mix and then headed out. I ate spaghetti and pan de sal when we came back home.

At round 11AM, we headed to Glorietta. I was already feeling that there was a bit of pain in my upper abdomen and a bit around my back. I decided to just eat arroz caldo from SM's food court. The pain could've been from CC's fall or the spaghetti I ate as I initially thought that it was somewhat oily.

I have been advised to avoid oily and fatty foods ever since I was diagnosed with gallstones. I have not eaten anything fried since then. After eating my lunch, I bought Buscopan Venus from Watson's and took it to alleviate the pain. 9 days without meds went down the drain. Sigh! Starting from zero again.




9 empty bottles 

9 empty bottles with 2 sealed bottles at both ends for comparison


I have now finished all 9 bottles so I am now on my 9th day. I can say that pain has lessened dramatically ever since I started taking Buah Merah Mix. My mother-in-law (MIL) was even saying that I looked like my color has come back and I didn't look pale anymore. She even recommended drinking Buah Merah Mix to her neighbor who has different diseases such as high blood, asthma and diabetes. I ordered my stash yesterday and her neighbor also gave money so he can try 3 bottles for the mean time. I'm looking forward to what the effects are to him, too. 


That's it for now. Chat with you soon!

CC is so makulit!

Babysitting day today again in our trusty portable playpen as the in-laws are still out.


See her laziness while playing/lying down:



After her lazy bout, she was doing something that caught my eye. Take a look at these 2 videos to see what she was trying to do. 







I don't know how she can be this makulit. Makulit can roughly be translated to naughty or playful, I guess. She's so energetic and just plainly being a child. I get fed up and think that maybe she got it from our beagle, Sabrina. LOL Many more years to go! Ha! Ha!

How about you, do you have videos of your child / baby being makulit or playful? Or maybe videos of them doing things that are unusual? Share the links in the comments section and I'll pick 5 (or 10 lol) and post them here in my blog. :)

Thanks!
