FAMILY BONDING @ STARBUCKS

 

 

 

 

Had a very relaxing moment with my family @ Starbucks.  It was so refreshing after a very stressful week. For me the place was so perfect for family bonding.

Topamax Side Effects

The only son of my friend is suffering from seizures once in a while and my friend is worried about his kid’s condition. I’m not sure about the medicine that his kid is taking but I know that it’s prescribed by their family doctor. She’s very careful when it comes to taking medicines especially if it’s for her child because it might give side effects if taken without the advice of doctor. She didn’t want anything that might add up to what her son is suffering. We should all be careful with the medicines that we’re taking especially if we’re pregnant because it might affect the health of baby in our womb.

I learned few months ago that Topamax, an anti-convulsant and cure for migraine can cause birth defects when taken by pregnant women. This information brought anxiety to those who have taken it to ease their migraines because if they had known it they wouldn’t take it. For those who have given births to babies with cleft lip or palate due to usage of Topamax should get legal assistance from Austin personal injury attorney who can help them get their claims on products liability.

MINI GET TOGETHER

I had a really nice time bonding with my college batch mates last February 1 @ DAD'S Mega Mall. It's such a wonderful feeling to see them again. I only had a chance of meeting with the few of them, only my close friends. So it's really exciting to meet them again after 20 years.

We will be setting up for a grand reunion for the whole batch in the next few months. It was just a short meeting since the night was spent with "kamustahan & chikahan" or making up for the lost times.

Here are some of our photos:

DEPUY LAWSUIT

Being in a tropical country, I love the experience of having a cold weather even for just a short period of time. Starting from Christmas season up to February, I can at least enjoy the feeling of a colder temperature. But I guess it also has some disadvantages. Like in the case of my mom who has rheumatism. She’s been suffering almost everyday from severe pains on her muscle joints, and it really bothers me. She doesn’t want to take medicines so we just buy her some ointments from a Chinese drug store. It’s just a temporary pain reliever so I thought of something that will really help her condition.

While surfing the net, I have read about the joint replacement systems offered by Depuy Ortophedics, which was owned by Johnson & Johnson. Well, very convincing at first but after reading other articles about the recall of 93,000 hip replacement systems last August 2010, it’s really disappointing.

Just in case you know someone who’s a victim of this case, they can seek help and file a Depuy lawsuit to get products liability claim. The patients can at least have a relief that their cases will be taken care of.

YOU RAISE ME UP

Just sharing you this very inspiring video of "You Raise Me Up"

I was teary eyed after watching this. Such a beautiful song with great lyrics that can really touch our hearts specially when we're down & weary.

I thank God for lifting me up everytime I fall.

FAMILY OUTING @ LAKE VILLA

It's my mom's birthday yesterday but we chose to celebrate her special day last Saturday. We went to Lake Villa in Tayuman, Rizal. A resort just a few minutes from our home. We've been to this place for a lot of times that's why we're very much accustomed. We were also lucky that the resort was not crowded during our stay. It felt like we had rented a private pool.

The celebration was double the fun since our relatives from Laguna and the family of my brother in law was with us. Of course, mom was the most happy. It's her 78th birthday and she told us she can't ask for more. She was so blessed to have all of us. And she's thankful to God for this wonderful day.

IT'S ALL WORTH IT

Despite all the hardships that I have encountered in yesterday's election, I may say that it was all worth it. It's actually my first time to have experienced waiting in the long lines which took me two hours just to cast my vote. I was a bit discouraged when I started falling in line. I even thought of coming back to home. But then I realized that I wanted to be part of the very first ever poll automation. "Just a little sacrifice", I told myself. Good thing that I was with my sis and her hubby. We started talking with some familiar faces, then meeting new friends. After a few minutes my brother in law bought something to drink 'coz we were really thirsty.

When I'm finally done with my voting, it felt really, really good. After seeing the confirmation in the PCOS machine I felt very relieved and fulfilled.

It was all worth it 'coz I can proudly say that I have taken my part as a responsible Filipino citizen in the first automated election.

Well, let's just hope and pray for the successful result. That the true mandate of the Filipino people will prevail.

MY COLLEGE FRIENDS

At last, I was able to get in touch with my college friends and we're able to meet personally. I must give credit to Facebook. Such a big, big help to search and be connected with friends. Though we're only three since our other friends are now based in other countries.

For almost 1o years of not seeing each other, It was such a great feeling knowing that the love & the warmth of our friendship still lives on.

We chose to dine at H.K. Choi resto @ the Atrium in Megamall were we had our "making up for the lost times" bonding.
