Medical Check up Update

Medical Check up Update

woman-doctor12We went to my Ob Gyne yesterday.. nope I’m not pregnant.. but we just went to see why there’s a pain in my lower left abdomen. The pain’s tolerable but I just want to make sure what it’s all about.

So, off we went to the Doctor and she examined me and did a urine test. Result? I got Urinary Tract infection and gave me antibiotic. It seems my UTI is so bad that she has ‘banned’ me to drink soda and all kinds of juices. I can only drink water and coconut water. Huhuhuh!!

But, I’m still thankful that’s my pain is just from the infection and nothing so serious. Thank You Lord!

Medical Check Up

Medical Check Up

I’m going to the doctor tomorrow. I’ve been feeling some kind of pain in my lower left abdmomen for quite sometime now. The pain is just tolerable but it has been more frequent for the past days. I’ve checked a bit on this symptom over the net, but I couldn’t somehow pinpoint what it is. So, I better get professional help to be sure.

Maybe, I will also ask my Dr. to check my cholesterol level tomorrow. I haven’t been a very good ‘patient’ and what ever my result is, I hope it could motivate me to eat the healthier food.

And by the way, I’ve already been exercising for many days now.. I’ll write another post about my new exercise routine next time. You’ll be surprise what it is..

The Credit Card

The Credit Card

This is one card that can come in very handy in times of emergencies but when abused, it can also burden you for years.

I have an Amex, a Visa card and a Mastercard ( that I’m not using). I’m actually just a supplementary from my Mom and Sis. The reason why they gave me supplementary cards is because I live in a different country and there will always be an emergency or two and a card can come in handy.

I had my first Visa card for about a year and I never got to use it. Obviously, the emergency never came, Thank God. But later, we found out the convenience of buying our plane tickets online and indeed the credit card helped us. So for years, the main purpose of my card was only for booking flights to and fro the Philippines.

But many months earlier, when I was here in the Philippines, money didn’t come on time so, I learned to use my credit card to buy groceries or other stuff. I tell you, once you use it you seem to get ‘addicted’ to it. Imagine, you get to buy things even if you only have 1 peso in your wallet.Hahaha!

So, I got to use it more often until I was not able to keep track on it. And only when I finally sat down and calculated my credit card expenses, I was amazed of how much I already spent and how much I needed to pay. Aside from the fact that prices here in the Philippines have really increased, I have also gone over my budget. Sad..sad..sad..

That’s why during the first two months of the year, we resolved to pay off all our credit card bills first and be ‘debt free’. And so we are…. errr.. sort of…heheheh!
