Lemon Water

I’ve been squeezing half a lemon to a pitcher of water for about 3 weeks now. Here’s what has happened: I couldn’t hold my pee. I’ve been reading on the benefits of lemon water, and on the second week, I noticed I couldn’t hold my pee as I used to. The lemon juice might be …

Early to bed, early to rise… and WHY I really do Qi Gong

5AM wake day 2 My body starts to be more sensitive to light, and to alarms, especially. I woke up yesterday with a pain on my right shoulder, and earlier today, it’s gone after a Qi Gong session. I talked to someone who said that Qi Gong is really a series of stretchings for Kung-fu. …

Tired and winning… so far.

I’ve never woken up at 5:00 in the morning in years, never worked as early from 7AM until 3PM until today, and have never ended the workday with mom’s freshly-baked ube pan de sal. Great meetings, winning at every turn since last week, the best two weeks so far since the COVID-19 outbreak, and well, …

Twitches, GCQ, and feeling like a Phony

I’ve been having twitches on my left eyelid for two days now, and a feeling that I might get sick soon, with a heavy back. I ended up sleeping the whole day. I’d like to say I’m glad with the GCQ, but I know I’d be just as stuck at home with readings. I haven’t …

Tension and Qi Rooting

And then I figured I had my Qi rooting wrong — that’s what’s causing the back pains. It’s been a long day, and the only time I have for myself is a couple of minutes for an entry before hitting the hay. I feel better, though, knowing that my tension spots are caused by incorrect …

Working From Home + Freelancing

A routine when working from home was daunting to me. I started working from home when I was 21, about ten years ago when freelance writing was not as famous, and when, Search Engine Optimization was still in its infancy. I would say I was part of that revolution that started home-based jobs before platforms …

Qi Gong + Reflexology

Qi Gong and Reflexology are two art forms that are used by Chinese medicine to determine illnesses, and alleviate pain. For about two years now, I’ve been doing Qi Gong on and off, and it often leads to some pain either on my palms or my foot. When I was still on the island south …

This Month’s Symptoms

I’m only writing this because I don’t want to forget this month’s menstrual symptoms. You can skip this post if you’re not comfortable. Nightmares for two nights, the nights before last night; pain on my hips and for some reason, after I play the Tibetan healing bowl, pain at the sole of my right foot. …

Orodispersibles

I’m back to Orodispersible drug tonight. Orodispersible means it melts in your mouth and can be taken without water chasing it. Because it was difficult to look for it the past weeks in stores, I resorted to the one that has needed to be taken with water for about 7 days. The feeling is different; …

Vigilance of the Ordinary

It’s one of those days when, (apart from that time of the month again,) you feel the need to step back. After about a couple of weeks in front of the computer, I feel the need to wait; I am glad I have to. I have gotten around finding what is needed for the projects …
