Rashes Gone!

It has been 2 weeks since my rashes were all cleared! It was amazing, but I thank God that He healed me. I was suppose to have my appointment for my dermatologist this week, but I thought of canceling it because not even one speck of rash was left on my body. How could the dermatologist make his/her diagnosis from it? T'was funny, but this was a big relief on my part because my blood work results were all negative as well. It was like somebody made fun of me and made me went into panic, then it was all gone after a week! Well, at least all is well that ends well :).
Indeed, God is my healer!

New Hair Cut

I got a shorter hair now :). The length was beyond the waistline down, so it was pretty much half of it was cut. I'm contented with the new length...much easier to manage. By the time I go home to the Philippines in 5 months time, I want it a little bit shorter. I know hubby would be unhappy about it, but it would be something that goes back after anyway ;).

Busy Weekend!

Last weekend, hubby's cousin came over for a short visit all the way from Washington D.C. So, I wasn't actually busy doing household chores, but we were busy out, lol! We went to visit some museums she wanted to see, then went for a walk at Inner Harbor. It was so hot that time, so that I was able to consume a cup of vanilla ice cream! :).
Then, Last Sunday, we had our father's day dinner at mom phyllis' house. Lots of food and we were almost popping when we went home.
So tiring, but all was fun :).

A Weekender Break


It was a last minute plan to actually drive to visit Longwood Gardens yesterday. We arrived at the gardens a lot earlier, so it was not crowded. The garden looks much lovelier when not too many people are there. The beauty is much more appreciative! It was so hot and humid, and so hubby was sweating like crazy. We just decided to cool down for a lunch at the restaurant and oh lalala!!! it was cooler inside with the AC, lol! So, we ordered our meal and hubby had so much relief. Perfect timing to be fully recharged to go on with our walk in the conservatory. I was thinking we can still catch up with the "Lilytopia" and Tulips displays....but we missed it :(.
It was good to visit and did some smelling on the perfumes at the music hall. It was fun creating a perfume with the combinations. Anyway, the entire day was good. We went home earlier to avoid the thunderstorms. It was a good decision as we met the rain on the road.

Blood Tests On Me!

Earlier today, I went to the laboratory for my blood tests as ordered by my doctor. This is due to my rashes that had spread all throughout my body. I just discovered it Wednesday night this week right after I took my shower. It alarmed me because it was just sudden, and it wasn't like ordinary rashes...not itchy, I don't have any allergy symptoms of difficulty breathing, fever, etc...so it was just strange. The doctor can't rule it out unless results of my blood works will be done. Whatever this is, it concerns me, but I will be leaving it up to my God...my healer!

Bunions - This are caused by big toes' joints becoming angled to the outside of the foot, causing bone to stick out. It usually is a result of wearing tight or pointy-toed shoes, or high-heeled shoes. It can also be a hereditary condition.
  • Prevention: Use shoes that conforms the shape of your foot and with low heel height.
  • Treatment: The only cure is surgery, but only if it is very painful. Also, try using protective bunion cushions.
Hammer toes - the toes scrunch into a permanent, clawlike position. It's due to muscle imbalance, heredity or foot trauma, but is also a cause of wearing pointy or tight shoes.
