During our duty, I came to a point where I have nothing to do and just hung out in our recovery room. I was making an operating sponge while some of my co-workers where talking about losing weight. I was eavesdropping at first and later joined their conversation. One colleague recommended one product, I think it was apidexin if I heard her right. Anyways, she said it helped suppressed her appetite and that she no longer craves for food. Hmm. It was a convincing factor as I am always craving for food especially in our unit where food is abundant.

Currently the local health office is suggesting to the different cigarette companies to place a picture of a cancered lung in their cigarettes packaging. True enough, cigarette smoking is one factor that leads to various diseases. I saw one billboard along the highway illustrating the effects of smoking on our body. It’s an awful and scary picture. Hope every smoker can be encouraged to quit smoking from it.

Sad to say, there are some people who really is into smoking and can’t get to quit from it. This, I guess gave other companies to invent a type of cigarette that they can use minus the adverse effects of nicotine, the electric cigarette. It claims that it’s body system friendly. It’s starting to be a fad nowadays and very salable to smokers out there.

It was a “Lion King” spree for us at home yesterday. The movie was aired on TV. “Lion King” is one of my favorite cartoons at all times. I remember back then when I first watched it with my family in the cinema, I can’t help but cry with the misfortune of Simba, especially when his father died. I was happy my 3-year old nephew got to watched it yesterday and he had fun watching it as well. He can’t hide the smiles and laughters in his face while watching it. I wonder, if we always watch movies together at home, that will make us a slouch potato, right? If all we do is do movie marathon. And I don’t think any most effective diet pills will be useful if we gain weight. Haha. Good thing we rarely spend time at home together due to my busy schedule.

What are ways to relieve you from stress? I guess you’ll have many to mention, huh? I know there are a lot of ways to destress but do you know that laughing is also one way of relieving stress? Maybe that’s why there’s a saying that goes like this, “laughing is the best medicine“. Aside from that, it might not be the best fat burning exercise we have but it also help burn calories. So laugh your heart out!

It was one fun friday night last week. My friends at work decided to hang out and chill and we chose to stay in one of our friend’s condo unit. We took advantage of the fact that the building isn’t fully occupied yet and no neighbors would go get the attention of the guards to silence us off. The drinks we had were kind of a hard liquors and most of us felt tipsy after. Good thing, no one got hyperventilated or had difficulty breathing so no need for spirometers to strengthen our lung muscles. LOL.

There are so many drugs out there, so many generics and branded ones to remember. But in the operating room, the most common drugs that’s used are the anesthetics, antibiotics and pain relievers. Still, there are a number of them and I can’t memorize them all. We have to rely on our ever MIMS book for reference especially with the side effects and adverse to watch out for. This isn’t like diet pills that even on a sitting you know what the side effects of diet pills are.

I thought I might not get to join tomorrow’s outing since I got no moolah in hand. Need to wait for my next salary which I hope will be released early this week. Anyway, my brother is kind enough to lend me some money with matching 10% interest. Whoa! Gotta buy it then than receive nothing, right? And so now, my excitement has returned in anticipation of tomorrow’s activities. Need not to forget my sunblock and my favorite soap. It might not be the best acne facewash, but for me it’s already the best since it helps prevent zits and best of all it whitens my skin. That’s why I’m still loyal to it. Gotta get back packing my things now!
