I decided to Give A Dish to my Sister for her Birthday last year and she is loving it. She just quit work a few years ago to stay home with the kids but now that they’re a little older I know she’s been getting bored at home without them there all day long (they spend a few days a week in daycare.) So anyway, I got her some new channels and she’s been watching all sorts of shows on BRAVO that she can’t stop talking about and also a lot of Style Network. She loves that show about Tia and Tamera Mowry, the Sister Sister twins, and I think it’s cute that she tells me all about it because we’re twins too. I love being part of a twinship and there’s just something special about the way we interact other siblings can’t relate to. One of these days I’m going to have twins, that’s what we keep joking about, just you wait and see! I’ll have it then!
Why do we use birth control methods? To control how many kids do we want to raise. Some people don’t believe in birth control, they say it’s a sin to avoid having kids while the sexual intercourse is still active. They say that as if you are killing the baby before it’s even born. Duh! How can you say that it’s killing the baby if there will be no baby to begin with. But, anyhow, I used birth control after I had our second child.
Effective Birth Control Methods
1. Pills- To those who can remember to take their pills in a regular manner, this would be perfect, but for me, I always forget, so I can use this. Some women said that pills have negative side effects on them, some have severe headaches, some gets dizzy and some have the tendency to eat more. Pills don’t work for everybody, the effectiveness of any drug depends on how your body reacts to it. If pills don’t work for you, talk to your Gynecologist and ask for a different option.
2. Injectable Birth Control- I used Depo Provera for over a year, I get the shot every 12 weeks and it’s very effective. The only thing with this is, for the first few months, you will have periods that last for weeks, then after that, it will be gone while you’re taking the Depo. When you decided to have another baby, you can just stop getting the shot and wait for your baby bump. As simple as that.
3. The IUD- Copper IUD (Paragard): After insertion by a doctor, “the copper repels sperm” by prompting the uterus to produce white blood cells, copper ions and other enzymes that kill sperm
4. 2. The Sponge- It’s a disc-shaped polyurethane foam device containing nonoxynol-9, which kills sperm. It prevents pregnancy by covering the cervix and blocking semen from meeting up with an egg.
5. 4. Implanon- The rod contains a progestin-like hormone called etonorgestrel, which is slowly released into the body to prevent ovulation and, therefore, pregnancy for three years.

As of this very moment, I am having migraine headache, I just took some pain pills, few minutes before I sat in front of my computer. I get migraine headaches from time to time and when I do, I feel miserable. I have this pulsating pain, I am sensitive to noise or lights and I feel nauseous. There are times that I have to go down the basement and lay down, and take a nap after ingesting some pills and when I wake up, I feel much better. I know that some people have worst migraine attack. Mine can make me out of focus and very sensitive and I can’t function well. I wonder if I want to get treatment for it.Migraine Botox as I have heard can relieve migraine headache for up to 3 months without pain. That would be great, I should try it..
It is in our family genes to have dark spot as we age. Well, I am not saying that I am old, but I am not young anymore. I have seen my aunts who are now using dark spot cream to remove dark spot on their faces. My dad had lots of dark spots, but since he is a man, he didn’t use anything. And since women are the ones who are so conscious about what they look like, they would do everything in their power to find a product that would make them look young and fresh. I know that pretty soon, I will do the same thing. I am not vain, but to look young and fresh during my 40s is not too much to ask, is it?
Luminaze is one of the best products that I believe will help me look young and make my face to be free of any dark spots. After only 7 days of using it, I can have a clear face, and it’s clinically proven that it works better and faster than any leading brand in the market. Who doesn’t want to look her best? It’s a competitive world out there, nobody wants to be left behind. I don’t, so when I start noticing a dark spot on my face, I will definitely do something about it. Although my husband keeps saying that he will love me no matter what, I still want to be pretty and desirable. The first thing I do when he gets home from work is make sure that I look beautiful.
Now that I am only on my early 40s, it is still possible to look young since I have this Asian genes “young looking” face, but what if I reach my 50th birthday and my dark spot starts to appear, that is when I need reinforcement. I now know what to use and I am no longer worried about it. I am pretty sure that my husband will tell me that I am aging beautifully.
I was browsing online looking for something to buy for my husband when for some reason I came across a diabetes issues website. I guess, when one of your family members suffer from any illness or disease, you would be so interested in everything that you will hear or read about their medical problems. My mothers has a Type 2 diabetes and although she’s so lucky not to use any injectible medicines yet, she has a daily medicine to keep her blood sugar low. She also has this machine where she has to prick herself sometimes two times a day just to see if her blood sugar is low or high. I feel sorry for her because she’s been doing that for several years now. I pray that I won’t have to go through that. My weekly allergy shots is enough suffering for me.
Since I have read about Actos lawsuits, I started to worry about my mother’s health. I am not sure what medication she’s taking for her diabetes, since she stays at my aunt’s in Illinois and now they are on vacation to the Philippines. As soon as they get back, I will ask her what does she take for her blood sugar. I hope that it’s not Actos. The FDA has issued a warning that Actos (pioglitazone hydrochloride) may be linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer, especially in patients who used the medication for more than one year.
The lawyers at the Simmons Firm are currently investigating the drug Actos, used to treat type 2 diabetes. My mom is only 63 years old and she has a lot more years ahead of her, I don’t want her to have bladder cancer and suffer from the disease. I lost my dad due to colon cancer and I pray that she won’t go through the same cancer problem. It’s hard to see your loved ones deteriorate and there is nothing you can do. Until now, I can’t believe that my dad’s gone, and it’s been seven years. I will definitely ask my mom if she ever used Actos for her diabetes, please Lord, I hope she didn’t.
