Caffeine Withdrawal

I have stopped drinking coffee several times already and whenever I do, I would experience caffeine withdrawal–that means, I would get a really bad migraine for days. Before, I would just take Ponstan (mefenamic acid) to relieve me of the pain, along with a massage and some embrocating oils.

Nevertheless, I would get back to drinking coffee again, especially that I wanted to lose weight and wanted to keep the energy despite the low caloric intake.

Then came the news that I am pregnant last Monday. Of course, I had to stop ingesting things that might be harmful to the baby. After all, last week, I had already inhaled several kinds of cleaning agents while I was trying to fix up our new bathroom. It was really crazy. I was soooo tired from all the cleaning. I got depressed when I got my finger stuck in a cabinet. Then I got allergic rhinitis attack last weekend.

When Monday came, I learned I was pregnant. Oh man, so I went on to remove anything that might get in the way of my baby’s healthy development.

And the side effect is –tada!!! migraine. So up until now, I am still groggy. I hate the feeling. But I have to finish some work…Okay, maybe I will go back to bed.

Good bye for now…

Our wedding rings

When my husband and I got married, we decided to have our wedding rings custom-made. Not that we were really fussy, but we know that having them made costs so much less than buying ready made rings in jewelry shops.

So we went to a local maker named Rod, and his shop is called Rod’s, apparently referring to him. Our rings were made of 14 carat yellow gold with three small diamonds on each one. The surface is curved and the rings had small groove on either side. The design is actually very common but we like it.

Workmanship is not so good, as compared to those machine made rings, but it is already good enough for us. I dunno how to measure the quality of the stones either so it doesn’t matter. We are so happy with the results because we paid only a very minimal amount, which is P12,000 or only $300 for already 2 rings! I love my ring!

P.S. Our wedding rings look like the one pictured above.
