remembering my unfinished household task

Admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:11:57 +0000

Hi guys, it’s been a while since the time I posted something in here. Well, everything just got crazy that occupies my time. Now, I’m spending almost two weeks here in Kish, Iran, which is quite boring and lonely. I don’t have too much option in terms of communication especially with the hotel I’m staying. It’s situated in a far place, plus they don’t have internet café for their guest unlike the other hotel I’ve stayed before. Anyway, there is no point of whining over it because this situation will surely come to an end in a few days.

Oh well, wifey called me up yesterday telling me to come home, which reminds me of my unfinished household task. I should be fixing the cable cover for our telephone wires before I left, but I have no time. She often tripped because the wires aren’t in their right place especially that she is coming home late at night from work. She is surely pissed every time it happens. So, it will be the first thing I will do when I get home after getting some good rest.

Allergy-Related Asthma Household Remedy

Admin — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:55:17 +0000

Always remember that allergy-related asthma can be difficult to handle for both adults and children, especially with extensive medication and other treatments. When certain allergens are not avoidable, it is important to have the option to use non-traditional treatments to provide comfort for the patient. Home remedies for allergy-related asthma can be used to improve the symptoms but should not be used as a substitute for a treatment regimen provided by a licensed physician.

The most commonly used home remedy for cough and wheezing is steam inhalation. If you have a vaporizer at home that can be used for this purpose, you can use it. Otherwise, you can boil a pot of water on the stovetop, place your head over it and cover the pot and your head with a towel to trap the steam inside. The warm, moist air allows the airways to open up and may help to release any bronchospasm that may contribute to the asthma. Eucalyptus oil or turmeric can be added to the water for added benefit. Steam can be dangerously hot so beware of scalding.

Warm honey and vinegar can be highly beneficial in the case of asthma associated with a severe cough. Equal proportions of honey and white wine vinegar should be placed in a microwavable cup and heated to the maximum drinkable temperature. This mixture should be consumed immediately for cough relief and some wheezing relief.

In the absence of any other method, simple black coffee can be used to help open up the airway. In the olden days, before the advent of modern medical treatments for asthma, black coffee was used because of the chemical components. Caffeine, theophylline and other similar chemicals present in coffee and tea can help release bronchospasm.

For mild cough and shortness of breath, home remedies can be used. If you feel that the cough is severe or that the wheezing is compromising your ability to breathe, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. According to current guidelines, depending on the frequency of your attacks, you may need to be on a short-term inhaler, a long-term preventative medication, or even steroids to control your asthma.

enthusiastic over his car

Admin — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:06:31 +0000

Like I said before, wifey’s father is really enthusiastic over his car; not really his car, his son’s car. He already does so many customizations on it. Supposedly, he is going to change the headlights and rims last month, but postponed it because of tight budget. Actually, he lent his money to wifey for pocket money. That’s why he decided to suspend it until he can get his money back.

Wifey said he is going to return the money when she already has a job. But, she will also include some interest so he could buy a curt trailer hitch. It’s one of the things he wanted to buy in the future. So, the interest wifey is adding will help him purchase that. But, he still needs to wait for some time since she is still waiting for job orders.

everything will be alright

Wifey and I are both excited for our trip this September. Some call it work migration. But, for me it’s a door that will open new opportunity for us. I just can’t wait to practice my profession again. It’s been a while since the last time I got a taste of being a working professional. If opportunities are just open here, we won’t need to go elsewhere. But, we have to move to on or get stuck forever.

For me, it is the best move. It’s been a while and time is running. I’m not growing any younger. As of this time, wifey should be happily shopping for pretty maternity clothes. And, I should be an exciting dad. But, it’s not possible yet because none of us is financially ready to welcome a new family member. So, we have to be flexible and accept the fact that this place might not for us. Well, I know everything will be alright. If so I’m sure it won’t take long for wifey to fit in those cute maternity clothes she’s keeping an eye.

start of being a busy bee

Admin — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 14:25:32 +0000

Tomorrow, I’ll be starting my BLS (Basic Life Support) and ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life support) course. It’s a five day course so it means I will be busy the whole week. Plus, there’s the pressure of passing the course the first take because I don’t have any other time. Also, it’s a bit costly to do some retakes.

Anyway, before anything else I’d better start checking wholesale insurance quotes. We might be able to pay for whole life insurance this time that if our planned venture is a success. But, I will not wait for the result before comparing quotes because by that time I might become very busy to do that. Since I have spare time in my hands for at least three weeks, I will do it. At least, I’m productive while waiting for the results.

obtaining the money we need

Admin — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:10:36 +0000

For our current situation, it is common to worry about money. Actually, jobs coming in are so scarce. But, we are still lucky it is enough to sustain our regular expenses such as food and bills. Yet, there is little to nothing that goes to our savings account, which is why we are looking at the possibility of changing the course of our career.

The thing is the direction we want to take still requires a hefty amount of money. But, we are aware that we need to take the risk and work hard to get the outcome we want. For now, we are still short of cash. Wifey said that if we won’t be able to procure the money within the set time-frame, we will use payday advance. Lucky for us we are not far behind the amount we established. One payday is enough to complete the amount we need.

she go shopping

Admin — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:49:10 +0000

It is indeed a perfect day to go shopping as expected from wifey. I never thought that after healing from flu she would instantly go shopping. She said it’s a much better therapy to her happiness. If that’s so, then I can’t contend with her because she has her way of being happy unless if she is already going overboard.

Well, one of the things she is looking at is the list of cigar brands. She is keeping an eye on the arturo fuente because the stocks doesn’t last long. It’s her uncle’s favorite type. Arturo Fuente cigars are handmade mostly with Cameroon wrappers, while the Chateau Fuente selection features Connecticut wrappers with cedar sleeves. I’m not sure with the other attributes because I haven’t really used it. But, people say it really good or rather great tastes cigar. Well, that would not be such a surprised since it’s in the market for quite a long time.

he’s indeed a motorcycle fan

Admin — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:42:44 +0000

Dad has always been a great motorcycle fan for a long time. If I’m not mistaken, it has been his mode of transportation for almost 27 years and he only has one minor accident with it. He also use it in on long rides like visiting sister who lives miles away from him. It doesn’t mean he can’t afford car, he just like his bike a lot rather than driving four wheeled vehicle.

On special occasions like birthdays and Christmas, he prefers to receive gifts that are related to motorcycle like helmets and jackets. But, I already exhausted all those options. That’s why I’m thinking for other choices like gps perhaps. I just don’t know where to buy motorcycle gps until I learned about the source. They offer a range of portable GPS, auto GPS, trucker GPS units and even Garmin Approach Golf GPS systems. Now, I know where to go by the time I need this device. So, I will keep that in mind.

bad experience over few years ago

having a good time

Admin — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:09:21 +0000

I do not regret being with wifey on this trip. I really had a fun time with them although it’s a bit costly if we are to weigh it. But, it’s worthy spending on something that could bring a big smile on our face. The nice conversation even the most nonsense of things and the long drives and picnics are priceless. So, I don’t count the money I spend because of those.

Anyway, the only setback I’m seeing is that wifey is gaining back the weight that she lost. And, count me to that. It’s hard to resists something that is cooked with love. No matter how hard I tried to avoid it, I just can’t because they keep on inviting me to have some more. Don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings so I just go with the flow and eat as much.

Lucky for me I now have access to diet pills. Getting rid of the gained pounds can easily be mended with this product. I just have to find the best when I get home. For now, I’ll just enjoy the food and the experience.
