PMS Headache

PMS headache is not nice.  It is really really bad that make your moods turn upside down.  It’s just ok if I am just at home at the comforts of my bedroom and no one can see my grumpy mood.  But if I am at work…oh my no matter how painful, I am bound to smile and be nice with everyone. Yeah yeah – that’s controlling the emotions.  One time i try to read on PMS related headaches and the word migraine was mentioned.  The description of migraine headache is very close to how i describe my monthly PMS (pre & post).  So i found this site – www.migrainetreatment.org . I still need sometime to really go over this site and see what i can learn and do personally to my monthly monsters.

How about you? Do you ever experience PMS?

Healthy Lifestyle even On the Go

By Nutritionist Sue Radd.

You can still stay on track with your health goals even while vacationing.  Here’s how.

on the road
Pack fresh fruit and water bottles that are easy to eat and drink in a car.  Apples, pears, bananas, and mandarins make good snacks.

For longer trips, make your own sandwiches or wraps rather than leaving yourself at the mercy of fastfood restaurants.  Get ride of the candies and processed snacks – they’re just not worth the extra problems they’ll create.

The Girl is Sick

I don’t like to say “again because  the last time she was sick was due to chicken pox and it was last year.  Now she is sick with high fever due to inflamed tonsils and productive cough.   Sounds productive but i did not heard her coughing the past days.  It was only early this morning.  Well, she is sick so i got in very late at work.   I feel bad she missed school today.  But somehow she will get well tonight so she can attend class tomorrow.

This is a candid portrait of her i took months back.  One of my favorite shots of her that evening.  She likes to pose when in the mood but if not in the mood well, i really can’t take one good photo of her.  Have you ever heard about the  Fort Myers photographer that take very good portraits.  Check out her site and blogs and you will find lovely shots taken by a very professional photographer.   I checked that out myself and am recommending it to my soon to be wedded friends and even the preggy friends.  I so love her  style.

On Whole Grains

Whole grains are very important to a well-balanced diet.  In this fast-food crazy world maybe there are some kids who are unaware the health benefits of whole grains.  At least four servings a day of breads, cereals, and other grains should be eaten.  Whole grains are much higher in vitamins and minerals than the refined products.  The whole weat bread or brown rice is much more satisfying and will hlep to prevent overeating which leads to obesity.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

For a long time, MRSA is a fatal bacteria causing Pneumonia and in many cases thought that only hospital people can get it. But now, it’s not only MRSA but it is CA-MRSA which means community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This kind of staph is deadly because they are very resistant to common antibiotics. CA-MRSA can infect a healthy person and killed in less than 24 hours if untreated. In in some cases, barely 30% can survive.

Simple Joys

Am so happy to see my FBS result reads -102. :)   Am on the normal bracket though i hope next time the result will read around 90 or below but not too below than 80. heyeyyy!  Plus my weight is down to 164. Yohoo hope to have that lower by next month. ;-)

Going Vege

Maybe lacto ovo.  I don’t mean that i abhore meat now, i still do it but at a moderate serving and if possible, just a little of it. Someone told me that it is not good that you will totally cut out meat in your diet especilly if you are a meat eater before you decide to go on Vegetarian.  The more one will succumed to caner if that’s the case.  I really did not check in the internet sources that can support the claim but it might be.  Because i have many friends who were vegetarian even semi-vegetarians who died of cancers unrelated to lifestyle.  They said it comes from the food we ate.

Anyway one of the deadly forms of cancer these days is mesothelioma . It is a cancer caused by the exposure to abestos. It is a deadly form because there is no total cure of it except for radiation or chemotherapy and surgery. The most common form is the Peritoneal mesothelioma in which the cancer cells attacks the lining of the abdomen.  All cancer disease are deadly i think.  And to receive a news that a loveone is sick with any of the cancer ailments these days is like a bomb being exploded.  If anyone is sick with this mesothelioma cancer then maybe they can check help links online to let them be able to understand fully what’s Meso is all about.

Tired but Ok

Just came from a quick trip to Cagayan de Oro city to buy some stuff for the kitchen my boss asked to be made adjacent to the conference room.  I thought i could meet up Mommy Ruby, but nah i was not able to get away.  There were 5 of us and each one aside from the driver was brought to their destinations and to be waited on til we all go to the Makro warehouse.  So i cannot get away.  Am so tired now but ok.  I thought of going home to have an early rest but i missed my treadmill session yesterday so am gonna do it today. Haiiii. At times really am lazy in following my routines.  In an hour am off to there.

Some Simple Joys

and one of them is the result of my FBS this morning.  My result was down to 100 from 116 three months ago.  Am just so happy.  The 12 hours (didn’t mean to though) was worth it.  I am grinning ear to ear after i heard the word, 100. hahaha.  more about the topic, you can read it here. am just so happy.

another one, Lang Tech just sent me $10.00 to my paypal account as payment of one of my jobs  earlier this month. :-)

Hey, i changed my blog’s name to JOYS OF LIFE.  I have to make it sure later if am using the right preposition. I am confused if i should use “in” or “of.”  will ask my boss later –if i won’t forget. hehhehe.  I decided to change it because am going back to my other blog – Dancing in Midlife Tune for some reasons beyond my control.

Slow connection & Etc.

I really dunno why the connection is crawling.  I’d like to make some improvements in this blog’s side bar but my internet connection is not cooperating.  Even my blog hoppin, i was trying to visit some blogs for the tags but it’s taking 3 minutes or more to open up the page. so i turned it off and after this post am off to bed.

Just wanted to note it here — my allergy is attacking again. I dunno or i can’t really trace what caused it coz in the past week and days i have eaten several food that could trigger the attack.  But when it comes to vegtables, ive been eating same same almost same veges all these weeks.  So beginnin tomorrow, i guess i will go back to elimination diet.  I forgot some of the common foods i have to avoid so will check my other blog tomorrow for the list. i remember ive posted it in my other blog when i was attacked last year.  The part that is very itchy now is my neck and my front chest. :( and also my armpits. wahuhuhuhu.  I hpe it just wont go up to my face coz i got already a spot that’s painful red. I feel like am punished by little gods whatsoever in here.

Oh by the way, i often said i don’t have money but i often set aside too money for rice. And this morning, some amount for the rice went for a collection of Indian movies and Karaoke songs in DVD.   BOth costed me P75.00.  And that’s already 3 kilos of yellow corn.  But anyway, it’s my money eh.  Just a little treat for myself.  it’s my first time to purchase the songs so when i got home i played it right away and sang with it. Dimple just quiet beside me and i asked her, why not sing along? don;’t you know the songs? she nodded yes. yeah, some were old songs.  She can’t relate so well.  They were songs back in the 80’s and early 90’s – so long time before she was born. hehehee  And i also purchased 3 pcs of orange roses just for P20.00 and Dimple was glad, she said next Sunday i should buy a different color then.  Am thinking of Yellow for next Sunday – hopefully, got some amount for marketing. :)
