Fun Polka Dot NOTD

I’m sorry for the late post. I was rushed to the hospital again yesterday for some complications regarding my current health status. I was discharged after a few hours. I had to go back this morning for some follow up with my doctor. I was given some shots and I have to go back again tonight to the ER to get more shots. They were very painful and I’m so glad my husband was there with me. I’m used to getting shots and medicine that are painful but this one was more than anything I’ve ever experienced. When the doctors tell me that the medicine they will inject is painful, I just chuckle. I usually ignore the pain as I have a high pain threshold. Over the years, I’ve had so many experiences with tests and needles so I’m usually just nonchalant about it.

This morning was different though. I wasn’t ready for this one. It’s funny, my husband asked if he needed to get my water bottle from my mom who was outside the clinic waiting. I laughed and commented to my doctor that my husband was the one who was nervous. After a few minutes, I felt the searing, stabbing pain on my arm and I told my husband to get the water as I might have some vasovagal attack. My doctor rubbed my arm for a few minutes and let my husband take over. The pain lasted for a couple of hours and until now I still feel some pain whenever I lift my arm. My doctor initially wanted the doctors from yesterday to administer the shots but decided that she wanted to do it personally. She’s sweet like that. I’m really glad that she was the one who did it. Now, wish me luck for tonight!

Moving on, here’s a fun NOTD which I did in March that I forgot to post. I think it’s appropriate that it’s fun given my current situation.

Please excuse me if I will not be able to post regularly. I thank you for your understanding and your continued support for this blog. I especially want to thank those who remained faithful to this blog even after my 1-year hiatus. Also, a big shoutout to my readers in the US (I have more US readers than PH ones!) and Russia! Thank you guys!

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
