For Vanity’s Sake

Mon, 31 May 2010 02:29:51 +0000

I’m done with my sclerotherapy series of treatment (for mild case of spider veins), and I’m so ecstatic. For now, I finally bid adieu to my spider veins and say hello to mini skirts and shorts sans unsightly marks. Do I sound like it’s a temporary goodbye? Oh yes! I was told by my doctor [...]

Thai Food On Sunday

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 04:19:30 +0000

Since Saturday, we have been on “food delivery holiday.” I’m not quite sure if such a term exist, but what I’m trying to say is that, I suspended our gourmet food delivery. With the unpredictable busy week that we had which was mostly spent out of the house, it would have been a waste if [...]

With Vita-Mix, The Possibilities Are Endless

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 01:14:18 +0000

With my newest kitchen acquisition: a Vita-mix machine, I have been dropping by the nearest fruit and vegetable stand more often. What used to be a once a week produce run, I now go there twice a week. It’s not that I’m now back to cooking but I’m now making multi-variant fresh concoctions which really [...]

Sanguine Thoughts

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:41:46 +0000

What happened to the few days of spring-like weather here in New York? It’s 43 degrees , wet, soggy, dark and dreary, and it’s windy.

When the domestic front is not that good, and the weather is nothing but — it feels a lot more depressing. I’ve been quiet for a few days, not for lack [...]

The Good And The Evil

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:57:55 +0000

These goodies from Dean & Deluca are just but a few of the many ‘not so great’ choice of snacks that I have been nibbling on lately.

It’s slowly becoming an addiction, that even when I’m in the middle of doing my chores and online tasks (i.e. while comparing Wholesale Insurance life insurance rates) I can’t [...]

Is Medical Travel For You?

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 06:40:59 +0000

With the rising medical costs here in the United States, has it ever crossed your mind to join the more than 2 million Americans that have already traveled out of the country for medical care?

Yes, medical tourism or medical travel has been on the rise and the market is expected to grow from $20 [...]

Switching: Synonymous To Glitches

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:48:28 +0000

The start of 2009 saw us switching to a new health insurance carrier after eight years. It was not by personal choice, it was by corporate choice. As you know, whatever changes on my husband’s company direction, and changes are implemented, there is no recourse but to follow.

As expected with any change, there were some [...]

Disappointing

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:36:17 +0000

I had a dismal performance this week, in as far as working out is concerned. This early, I can already foresee how bad it’s going to be when colder temps set in. This has got to change.

This is expected, because I’m not really putting my heart into this whole thing. I always create excuses so [...]

Thoughts On Chelation

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:31:37 +0000

Hypertension is one condition that beset my family. My parents as well as my grandparents battled this condition, and now, my siblings and I are all on anti-hypertensive medication.

Needless to say, we are all trying to wean ourselves from medication but none of us have been successful. When you have hypertension, you are at high [...]

Wants And Choices

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:03:43 +0000

With all the baking I’ve been doing in the past few months, it’s only a matter of time, then I will start looking for the best diet pill that can aid me in losing weight.

Dilemma! I don’t know what to do, because I love to bake my cake and eat it too. I have been [...]
