Rapid Detox

Mama Mia — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:42:51 +0000

Many people who decided to stop taking drugs ended up taking them again not because of they wanted it emotionally but because they are having problems in adjusting to withdrawal symptoms. The physical pain is hard for them especially if there is no one to help and comfort them.

Now, a new procedure is being practiced. It is called rapid detox. This is a procedure done by a doctor that will help detoxify your body by using a medical procedure. Instead of manually withdrawing yourself from drugs, they will compress this by one to eight hours depending on the clinic where you will have your rapid detox treatment. This procedure will lessen or erase withdrawal symptoms to drugs.

They say after a successful rapid detox, a person will be able to stop physical addiction and withdrawal symptoms but will not cure the psychological aspect. That means this person must still go under professional help on psychological addition rehab.

So, if you know someone who is addicted to opiate drugs, would you let them undergo rapid detox?

Church Wedding

Mama Mia — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:31:01 +0000

Last January 2010 was our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Before it came to pass, we decided to have a church wedding for the first time but unfortunately we don’t have the budget yet. We all know that we need money from the wedding decorations, invitations, rings, giveaways, entourage and more. So my husband and I decided to celebrate it simply and have our church wedding or renewing of vows on our 15th wedding anniversary if ever we get there. LOL!

Anyway, I am still dreaming of having a church wedding. This is my dream come true as a woman.

Weight Loss Goals

Mama Mia — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:31:50 +0000

It was my goal to register at the gym last February but when the time came I was not able to do so because of an infection that affected my toe until now. So I decided to find an alternative either to buy a diet pill, slimming wraps or fitness equipment that is affordable.

But still, since the money is not yet available, I am hoping my infection will get better soon so that I can go to the gym instead buying the alternative thing I mentioned above. Getting this infection fixed is better than buying.

Wanted to Buy a Digital Camera

Mama Mia — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:22:15 +0000

Since my Kodak point-and-shoot digital camera got its LCD broken, I started planning to get another one. Though I heart buying a Nikon D5000, my friend suggested that I should buy a Canon camera. She said that a quality point-and-shoot camera might be too pricey for me but she said I would not regret it.

So I went to the Canon showroom and saw a camera that is almost 6000 pesos last December 2009. So when I had my money, I went back so that I could buy it. Unfortunately, they have no stocks anymore because that was their clearance sale last holiday season. Another one was available and it costs 8000 pesos plus but my money was only 6000. Instead of buying the camera, I bought an LCD GW900 mobile phone. The camera of the phone is not of high quality but I guess I should deal with it for now since I couldn’t afford the camera of my dreams or any quality point-and-shoot camera.

Missing a Sunshine

Mama Mia — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:15:32 +0000

One of our land lady’s borders, our neighbor, asks my mom if we had custom cardboard boxes that they can have. She said that they will be leaving and permanently live back at their hometown because his husband is now assigned in a different place.

Anyway, I will not miss her actually but I will surely miss his toddler son, Loise. He was cute and very sweet. Though we weren’t that really close, the toddler was a true sunshine every time I get to see him. Oh well, I am not sure I am going to see him again. I just hope he continues to be a sunshine wherever he is!

Housing Loan

Mama Mia — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:00:53 +0000

My husband and I are planning to get our own house someday via Pag-Ibig Housing Loan. We are just waiting for two years so that we can also avail of the housing loan their company will lend to employees who has 5 years tenure.

Anyway, I just wish a mortgage calculator is online at the Pag-Ibig official website so that we can make a rough draft on our housing plans. It’s hard to go to their office if you want to ask something about doing a mortgage loan.

Oh well, I just hope that someday our house plans will come to pass. A wife wants a home for her kingdom. We all know that!

Anti Wrinkle Solution

Mama Mia — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:29:42 +0000

I was also looking for an effective anti wrinkle cream. In my search, I was led to some strivectin sd reviews online. Some said they are good while others beg to differ. They say strivectin sd is not recommended since some of its ingredients are potential irritants that may lead to red, irritated and sensitive skin. They also said that continuous use may lead sensitivity to the sun which breaks down collagen and elastin cells.

Anyway, most of the recommended anti wrinkle treatment that I found was Prototype #37-C. They said this solution is very effective in terms of anti-wrinkle power, speed of results, product safety, long term results and overall value.

Well, as I always say, I am not sure if I am going to apply it immediately since I need to see an expert first before using anything. It is better to be safe and sure than be sorry!

Methylsulfonylmethane

Mama Mia — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:17:50 +0000

Few months ago, I started to feel joint pains on my right knee. At first, I don’t want to believe that I am suffering from arthritis since I am still 30 years old. But when I started researching about arthritis, I was shocked to find out that it is possible for a woman like me to suffer if my lifestyle is unhealthy (mine is indeed unhealthy).

Anyway, I read some articles that talk about msm dietary supplement. They say it can help combat joint pains. MSM or methylsulfonylmethane have been tested and studied to help relieve pain in the knee. But first, I need to consult my doctor before taking anything just to be safe.

How about you? Have you tested the effects of MSM?

My Baby’s Problem on Bowel Movement

Mama Mia — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:34:52 +0000

My baby is having problems passing her bowel movement. I think she is having a hard time adjusting to solids. Anyway, if she were already an adult, a colon cleansing pill might help unclog her intestines.

I think water can be the only safe solution she has and she has to deal with drinking plenty of it! But just in case, she has to drink castoria (laxative for infants) too. Of course if she has no stomach pain.

Hope she gets over this soon. Kawawa naman si baby.

Avoiding Chocolates?

Mama Mia — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:04:45 +0000

I was busy looking for some acne medication in a local health and beauty store when I found a rack of chocolate goodies. I had the urge to buy another pack but I wanted to avoid it. For the past few weeks, I have been eating chocolates like a child. Every time I am in front of my PC and feel a little hungry, I grab chocolates at my drawer.

And it’s no wonder I have acne and weighs a little bit higher compared before. Anyway, I was successful. I was not able to buy that pack of chocolate goodies and it was not because I controlled myself but because I still have a box full of them at my drawer! Maybe next time. LOL!!
