For life is not just about how we will live comfortably, or just about the good and the pleasurable things life may bring us, as we all hope it to be. But it's how we deal with rough roads, molehills and even the mountains each of us will have to trudge as we go through life; with a lot shimmying when edges are sharp, while others can go cherry-picking. But what is important is to be armed with great deal of faith and courage to face life's trial head on...

My migraines attack usually at the 30th of the month...
Yup...! This usually happens during that particular day of the month where in I have to pay those bills....electric consumption, water, phone bills, Smartbro, tuition fees, medications, school needs, food allowance, and everything. Wheeewwwww!!! I spent more than P15thou this month only for prescription drugs. When my son was hospitalized he consumed 13 vials of Co-amoxiclav (needed every 8 hours for about a week) which costs a little less than P700.00 each. And for his post medications he took the same brand, but now it should be a little lower dose, caplets is at P98.00 and he needed 20. I could imagine how big the pharmaceutical company earns. Prescription drug may be, is the most profitable industry in the world even more than oil industry I mean.
For one thing, me, I take medicines for my heart, for my hypertension, for my backpains, vitamin C and other supplements, brain vits, not to mention other drugs for immediate headache relief. Can you just imagine that everyday, we need drugs that are sold over-the-counter?! Laxatives, paracetamol, ibuprofen, and others. What a big business huh!!! What about those mind-bending drugs? No,just kidding....sorry...just a Freudian slip(lapsus linguae)...don't want to touch that subject! Don't know anything about them....sigh!
Now is the 2nd schedule of my children's Anti-hep vaccine. It is a 0-1-3 injections and 1 shot costs P1,300.00 plus the unquestionable doctor's fee...that's why I don't particularly count...I have to fan myself to prevent fainting...lol....sigh...where on earth can you get such money to sustain those amount?
I will go to Japan this year for one reason and one...to visit a dear one and have a grand vacation at Toyohashi City and to do business at once!!! I have to bring 4 bio-magnetic bracelet there...hope to add some more till I pack my things...
