We initially planned to go today, since the President declared Chinese New Year a non-working holiday, but we wanted to just relax at home today so we won't be stressed at work tomorrow. Anyway, we walked the whole stretch of Ongpin Street, from Santa Cruz Church in Carriedo to Binondo Church (National Shrine of San Lorenzo Ruiz).

Well, apart from the fact that I had been busy with holiday preparations, I had also been down with the a nasty case of cough and colds which started Christmas Day. Well, anyways... I went back to my exercise routine on the first Monday of the year. I was also able to bully Rap into dancing with me for an hour because he didn't have class yet.

My boys both had classes, Rap with his MTAP and my husband with his IT training class at MFI. I had planned to do my Christmas shopping errands while Rap's in school.

I felt undeniable pain once again from the index and middle fingers of my right hand. I have not been wearing my wrist brace for a while now and I think my CTS symptoms are coming back. This time, before wearing the brace, I rub moringa oil on my wrist and wrap it with gauze first. I discovered that warming it up actually relieves the pain. That's the reason why I'm looking for heated gloves. Something that looks like this: I hope I can find one...<br/> <br/> <i>This is only a preview.

Living in the city makes it even doubly hard to find organic what-have-yous. Thankfully, more and more natural products become available in the market today. One natural product that we've been using for few years now is ASCOF Lagundi. ASCOF Lagundi is made from all-natural lagundi leaves.

That's why I almost lost my sanity the other day when it died down on me. I thought the computer crashed which only meant me losing all my files but, no. It literally died down on me because it lost power. I didn't notice that I run out of battery juice because I knew I kept it plugged in . Turns out, my laptop adapter had broken wires.

I bet you already know that. But retail therapy, as I prefer to call it, is made better when there are affordable deals! That's why I'm such a fan of group buying sites. I'll let you in on a secret... I subscribed my email to all of them! I don't mind getting emails about deals everyday because I don't want to miss a worthy shopping opportunity.

Well, I do. And so does my husband. We both work so hard to be able to provide our needs and wants that, often, our health needs are compromised. We both deal with stress, day in and day out, beating deadlines and trying to finish what's needed to be done before the day ends. It gets tiring, really, but that's what adults do, right? Stressful situations are the "minuses" in our lives. Stress destroys our body's healthy cells, making us age...<br/> <br/> <i>This is only a preview.

My sister brought this towel for my niece to use. Apparently, it's a gift from the States. I found it so cute that even Rap had his picture taken wearing it even when it's already too small for him.

Before, I used to think that it was only because of my bout with carpal tunnel syndrome which I wrote about back in June. The shooting pain has long gone because I bought and wore a wrist brace for some time but the numbness remained. It was one of the reasons why my husband and I took a trip to Banahaw Heals Spa Cainta which was near our place plus the fact that we both needed a massage.
