A Christmas Card from the Stock Market

This may be funny, but this graph has really caused a lot of pain to many people around the world over the past years. Sigh, at least we can find humour in that.

Another Round at the Hospital

Sorry guys, I just got home for the second time from the hospital. I was admitted around 3:30 am last December 24 and spent Christmas there with my dextrose.

My families and friends visited me throughout the day. There were lots of food and it was fun having guests around and I still have so much to be thankful for despite everything that has happen for the last two weeks.

The best thing is baby is okay and I have a very loving and supportive husband who has stuck with me all this time. My mother, too, has been my caregiver most of the time.

Now I’m home but still have to have my IV with me, I feel like a goat tied to a post. Im not the one typing this but my friend Alex is staying over to help nurse me back to health.

That’s it for now Belated Merry Christmas to you all! :-)

Winning $5 in Blog Christmas Giveaway

You may be wondering what happened to me these past days. Well, I have been experiencing excruciating back pains–not the type that occurs in the spine but rather a topical pain that exists in the muscles. Normally, it feels like a knotted muscle, but every few hours, I get “attacks” and pain is overrules the surrounding areas, up to the front side.

Been trying to rest from time to time, but yesterday, I was maid of honor in a wedding (at almost 6 months pregnant) and while I was trying to smile, I kept moving trying to find a suitable position for my aching back. Anyway, that was how I was been the past several days. So forgive me for not visiting you. After a visit to the chiropractor later, I hope to be feeling better.

Anyway, I just want to thank Ria of It’s My Party. She sponsored a blog giveaway a couple of weeks back. She invited me but I forgot and then she reminded me a few days before the contest ended. I joined. It was very simple, I just had to guess the number of guinea pigs that were in the cage. There were of us who got the answer right. But guess what, through Random.Org, I was randomly chosen as the winner. :-) And the prize of $5 came at a time when I needed to go to a chiropractor whose single service costs around $6…Thank you Ria! :-) And God really knows our needs. :-) Below are Ria’s pets. :-)
