An Itchy Dilemma I am thankful that growing up, I am not allergic to any kind of food. Especially to peanuts, because I love nuts! But, sometimes, some things (or bodies) change. When I was pregnant with my youngest baby, I suddenly became allergic to shrimps, which I also love. It made me sad. I had to have a stash of anti-allergy meds that's safe for pregnant women. Later on, I gave birth and thankfully, it went away. Like my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my first pregnancy. Yes! But then, … [Read more...]
The Midnight Library & Being 40, Cymplified!
A Visit to The Midnight Library I just finished reading "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. This was forever in my want-to-read list but I haven't found an inexpensive copy of it. Until I saw one on Shopee. :-) I guess being 40 meant being extra thrifty (most likely the book will just be read once or twice); and also splurging where necessary (health, wellness & education). Honestly, I could somehow relate to the main character, Nora Seed. She thinks her life is mediocre, and it's set … [Read more...]
Becoming 40, Cymplified!
The day I turned 39, I had my first Quarantine Birthday. Celebrated with a huge mocha cake from Hizon's. I forgot, though, what we ate for lunch and dinner. Ha ha! It was also an Easter Sunday. And then, I realized something. I was so close to becoming 40! (°0°) ->this is my shocked face Changes due to aging? That year, I thought I was doing okay while I was sheltering in place. I neither got Covid nor the flu (which I did almost every year because of my weak immune system), and I was … [Read more...]
Steps Forward, Cymplified!
Hello, friends! And hi, 2021! Peek-a-boo! Surprise! From a filtered Cym. ;-) Greetings 26 days into 2021. We've made it to another year. We have made it a thousand and more steps forward. It's not without blood, sweat, or tears, though. Literally and figuratively. As it was a uniquely challenging year when lives were lost and marriages were tested. Anxiety was through the roof. People forced themselves to change their habits. I thank the Lord for my life; being alive means I must … [Read more...]
Changes are Staying, Cymplified!
This pandemic is asking, nay, forcing us to change. When our health is at stake, we can do nothing but go along with these changes. And these changes are staying for sure. Because of CoViD-19, changes are happening in different aspects of our lives. We pay our bills online. Businesses are moving online and are reliant on delivery services.Food and other household needs are being delivered to avoid going out. It's scary to dine out, too. So, we wouldn't need to wear that thigh shaper yet, … [Read more...]
Adulting, Cymplified!
Define Adulting {from Google} Adulting - (informal) behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially by accomplishing mundane but necessary tasks. But... It's not yet added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. It's a word they're watching, though. I am today years old when I learned that "adult" is also a verb. Nowadays, when people act responsible like paying the bills, they'd say they're "adulting". Do you use this word as well? So, happy new year, adults! My journey to … [Read more...]
Embrace Women, Cymplified!
Embrace Women And Their Differences There are numerous kinds of women. There are countless combinations of personalities and preferences; not to mention race, culture and beliefs. Like flowers with copious species, women bloom differently and each is unique. The number of petals might differ largely or slightly, another might flourish facing the sun and the other blossoms embraced by cold air. Each with a different height and a different color and a different size. Like snowflakes that float … [Read more...]
