Happy Wedding Day Cuz

My cousins wedding was held at a resort somewhere between Paranaque and Bicutan.
 I am not a party pooper but my day was consumed with eating and sleeping due to severe migraine. It was darn too hot and too loud that my eardrum was about to explode if I hadn't run to the nearest room and lock myself inside crying, after the torture I was able to go out fool around.I don't have the photos for the wedding though.These are 3 of what I got.

Confession session


I went to my Ob last month for my follow up check due to my menstrual irregularities.I was advised to take Diane 35 pills to regulate my period system.
I’m almost done with my first pack. I have yet to finish 4 of them in the days coming. And I cannot wait to finish this pack and get off from it freely.  I’ve been having mood swings and I cannot control it any longer. This is just too depressive for me. I cry for no reason at all. I get angry easily and I prefer not speaking for the whole day if that would refrain me from getting into another heat discussion.
My migraine deflated in a few days but came back after taking half of it. It is not too prominent to be actually called migraine but a head ache only it happens every freaking day. After every meal I feel like throwing up but it never really come to the point that I throw up just a pigment of little kicks from stomach, but disturbing…too disturbing that sometimes makes me dizzy in a minutes.
I shouldn’t have taken it in the first place. Im starting to bloat-even my chest hurts occasionally. Wearing bra is unbearable that I’d rather embarrass myself in baby bra or no wire at all than suffer in pain.
I went back to my Ob to report my depressive progression and she told me to finish the pack and she might just change my pill. I don’t want to take any pill anymore. I don’t care if Im only getting every other month period and dysmenorrhea is killing me,I wont care if I don’t get my period for 3 consecutives months That is much acceptable than water retention occupying my body and making look like a pig- I could retain myself from giving up but wobbly legs in the evening when I’m about to sleep is another hell thing. It’s tiring. for real. This is not for my body type. I’ve read thousands of negative reviews about this pill.Not to forget that  I cannot sleep because my legs feels like being beaten.
And I swear I am just another one of those of remorseful.
It may have cleared up my skin but Im pretty sure that zits will be attacking me any moment I stop taking the pill. I will survive in that. I am.
So to anyone planning to take this one, It’s necessary that you take pre cautions before swallowing this pill. Ask your Ob and tell your worries. if you don’t want to gain weight-make sure to mention that to your doctor also.
Yes it will replenish your previous skin problem but will get back at you once you stop taking it. And they surely mentioned that it will double the numbers of pimples you used to have.
Yes your chest will have one size up or difference but it will hurt occasionally. Experienced.
Yes It’ll make you gain weight. at an early use. Your lower stomach part will bloat like jello. Experienced.
Your hips will get wider than you used to have but beware of cellulites appearing as well because your skin get stretch.
And if you are body conscious.  Don’t be fooled by the promises that you hear from people using it. Yes it has different side effects and works for others too. This Is Just Not For Me.
Shame on me.

Migraine Attack


I have had multiple times of migraine attack in the past years.
But yesterday was prominently devastating that it nearly drove me to asylum.
I had a thought of pounding my head on the wall to end the pain which turn out that I was actually pulling my hair –never did it hurt☺. It lasted for about 7 hours that even tramadol and celebrex didn’t comfort me.
Just when I started throwing up half of what I’ve eaten for the past two days that I drifted off for awhile. But it came back when I woke up, crying for like a diva was my way to divert the tension and terrible pulsating that I’m feeling in that moment.
So don’t blame my acting skills, I could win an award for that.
How would I know If in a minute I will be posses by a devil called migraine.

Apparently not all patients have the same major symptoms but we go all down way to common denominator that throbbing pain in the head is one precise thing.
For me It begins with AURA- very obscure detail that it mostly don’t get my attention right away- It is a blurring of vision dominates my entire 10 minutes. Albeit feeling of puking initiates afterwards- I’m still the dumbest person alive in my ruled world. And the next thing I know nurses hurled at their paces securing that I am still handling myself steadily.
It gets real drama inside the room you know- I feel like If no one injected me medicine in any seconds I’m just gonna blow my head off- in their faces!
Migraine does not significantly retaliate your over-all health. But it can be a chronic problem that may affect your daily life.
It is however a trouble to me because I have numerous of things to stay away from- NUTS- Don’t actually give you signs after eating since it will have to be digested first and the natural oil will be transmitted to your brain and that where it all sucks your day.
Same goes with CHOCOLATES as it it contains same stuff that can trigger headache.-maybe a few bite will do for now. And I just remembered that last Dec 24 I ate ice cream chocolate flavor with bits of nuts. Yummy but I paid it off yesterday. So refrain yourself from indulgent.
I know that my migraine is a bit off to the record of normal headache-My memory issue will put me at hand-numbness of neck-serious internet consumption for a day. I mean really- Is it normal to be in front of the computer for 12 hours and in 6 days? just saying. My works requires that.
This is a doctor’s advised to take note of symptoms and when it actually appears to find a solution. I’m starting today bear with me blog.


Anyone with the same dilemma or someone relatively knowledgeable with my issue please enlighten me as I might be absorbing wrong information from others.
