Posh Thoughts

Archive for February, 2010

Since last year, we have been hearing news about disasters hitting nations left and right. Most of these countries after suffering disasters end up in utter pain and desperation in losing their loved ones or their belongings. They had a hard time picking up the pieces again.

Those people who were not hit by these disasters became more alert. They started preparing themselves for things that may hit them anytime. Some started asking for an auto insurance quote to keep their vehicles insured in every disaster and even some house insurance which includes contents within. Some who could not afford insurance have opted preparing emergency kits for their family when calamity strikes.

As for me, I am planning to make an emergency box for my family. I have three children and I am planning to be ready always just in case something disastrous happens.

I remember the time when I lost my baby, I felt miserable when I woke up at the operating room. I saw that my doctor was doing a procedure on me called dilatation & curettage (D & C). She was cleaning my uterus from the remnants of my dead baby inside. I wanted to reach out to her asking if I could see my baby for the first time even in his remains but my arms were tied and I got an oximeter on my finger. Aside from that, because of the medicines given to me, I felt groggy and helpless.

When I woke up, I felt so sad. I felt that I was to blame for my baby’s death. It was my responsibility to take care of him but I was too foolish that I allowed him to suffer an untimely death even while he was still developing inside my womb! I cried and I cried.
When the doctor came, she told me that it was not my fault. There are some babies that develops abnormality (in my case, he didn’t had a heart beat) while inside the womb and because it couldn’t cope up, it eventually dies. She told me, only God can give me the reason why it was allowed.

After my doctor left, I tried to compose myself by convincing my brain that it was not my fault. It happened for a reason. It was just a test that I needed to undergo for me to become a strong woman. Though I was able to convince myself, I can’t still help but feel bad inside. I felt that something wonderful and special have left me and the question was…why? A question that I could never answer until to this day…

As we grow old, we can’t help but feel pain in different parts of our body. It is a signal that our body is already suffering the stresses of life and finally starting to feel old just like a lagging machine. Some may feel the pain early on and some don’t, this is because it’s dependent on how you have used your body. If you live a healthy life and have a regular exercise, there is a chance that your body will be in great condition and therefore lesser pain. But if you abuse your body by eating and drinking too much toxins, you might end up needing a joint pain relief earlier in life!

So the key to long life is to live a healthy and happy one. Eat the right food, drink water regularly, do exercise and think happy thoughts. Always face life positively and your body will gain it too!!

Just the other day, I was looking for an acne medicine. I felt that I badly needed one because of my current facial problem. Though I am already 30 years old, I am still suffering from occasional acne breakout especially when I suffer sleepless nights and “overeating chocolate” days. I wanted to stop but I can’t help it because I badly needed to work and when I do work, I don’t occasionally sleep therefore causing me to get stress and eat chocolates more!

Anyway, I wish to find herbal based acne medicines. I believe herbal based products are the next best thing from nature. Do you know any? Care to share with me?
