Sleepless nights and eye bags

I have suffered sleepless nights. That was quite long that makes me looked worn out. I don’t sleep during the day either as I do have a toddler that won’t let me. I am blaming nobody but myself. I like watching late night programs like Supernatural and Road Wars. These programs are completely different and I like just the way they are shown. If you watch Road Wars then you got what I mean. And if you’re a supernatural type, you will love Sam and Dean, the actors of that said series that are just very good. I could just be on TV in our room even 4am. Hubby sleeps in a different room just because he has to get up so early for work. Lucky me that I am not working, but worthless me too.

I am now slowing down my insomniac state. I am trying to sleep as early as 12mn. The evidence of those long term sleepless nights is just here right under my two great looking eyes. I don’t think creams will still work on these, even if our doctor will prescribe me the best under eye cream. I will let time heal this craziness in me. After all, I am enjoying life to the fullest.

Hairloss and homesick-ness

Many of us wonder why hair loss occurs, mostly in men in their early 50s. I believe it’s in the genes or it has got to do with what they apply. However, we don’t really know the reasons for hair loss. In fact, not every sufferer is in the 50s. My cousin in my age already has. He got it from his father’s family. I also have seen women that loss their hair because of some chemicals. Others don’t exactly know why it happened. I have mentioned before that I had problem adjusting the weather. The effect was evident to my hair. I lost a few strands a day the time I landed on this cold country. My system wasn’t used to warm water shower, so I guess my entire state (physically & emotionally) was in shock. I wasn’t used to food, my environment, people I met and of course living with my husband for the first time.

You don’t have to experience such to know exactly what that means. Adjusting to a complete contrast takes time. I suppose not everyone has the same experience as mine. I also noticed that it is better than people that I talked to. Others couldn’t take it that they needed to go home and reorient.

Graduation time soon

It will not be long now and the time to congratulate graduates for 2010 will be said. I will be having a high school graduate which I am so proud of. Hopefully, I will be able to send them even a card to let the man(younger brother) know that he makes me proud. He is my girl’s special uncle as she says because he always spent time with her while we were on our holidays last year. If only I am there, I would really like to throw a party for him. A little preparation will do, I bet it won’t cost a lot. I also would have loved to send photo graduation invitations to friends and families, or even to hubby here. It would be really lovely inviting people and at the same time knowing and seeing who’s graduating through the photo.

Back in my old days, I was just contented with having a photo (that’s right, 1 photo) taken by a photographer. It was quite expensive to hire a photographer and so one was enough. I am happy that at least I would be seeing those loads. Glad to have left my digital camera for them to use on special occasions like these. Good luck young man and brighter days ahead.

Still with JOURNEY

I remember this time of year that my daughter and I were into Journey (rock band). I was so in love with their music and so as my daughter that I purchased their CD straight from the US thru a friend’s help. It is so lovely to have friends round the planet not because you need help from; it is because they’re there for you when you’re in a situation that only they could help. That time I was so into their tour schedules. I was depressed the time I knew that they already have their concert done in this country and it may take long time before they would be back. I have watched loads of their tour videos uploaded by my fellow fans.

Well, as things changed, I haven’t been into them. I don’t know but I got no interest whatever is new about them. The last time I heard of Arnel Pineda was when he is getting married to his long time partner in the Philippines. I may have to subscribe news about Journey again. It is like richard willich news that is up to date. There could just be there hanging. I know some of you don’t know much of Journey. I haven’t met a blog about Journey just yet but I am into their fan site. Hmm, hubby’s right. My love for them will soon disappear.

Belated birthday wishes...

I haven’t been a good godparent, aunt or a sister to the ones affected. I have 3 godsons that haven’t got something from me for at least four years now. I have tried my best while there. I first had my godson when I was working and by that time, I was so good, I always make sure that I should have something for him each time I meet him. However, as they are growing by number, especially to Kenneth, my first nephew and godson (2nd), I have had times that I am just sorry for I do not have something to give. Not that I don’t want but time didn’t permit. Well, January is his birthday but it just passed by without me noticing. Sure I gave the parents sum just to help them celebrate his birthday a few years ago,but that wouldn't count now. I know he knows I am his godmother though he was just a year old when I left and I know he was just expecting something. It was only his sister and brother who got presents when we visited. Anyway, belated happy birthday dear nephew. He is just so good; he’s 5 and the eldest of the four siblings. Mind you, the parents have them each year. Here’s who I am talking about…. I am telling you he is very good.
