Free vitamins

For the 3rd time since January of last year, we bumped into a friend who used to be my Elementary and HS schoolmate, and college dormmate last Tuesday. Everytime we bump into each other, she would ask if I am already preggy. She’s asking because she’s carrying products for pregnant women and she might give me something like prenatal vitamins. Yay! I hope she’ll still be working with the company she’s working with now so by the time that I get pregnant, I’ll have prenatal vitamins for free. I’d love that!

Confidence

Thanks goodness we’re not going to seek professional help in adult acne treatment for Ace. What I wanted for him is to undergo certain treatment that will minimize the pores and eliminate the scars caused by adolescent and/or hormonal acne. That pimple prone and scarred face has caused him a lot of trauma that resulted to low self-esteem. During the first year of our relationship, it was really tough dealing with it. Glad he gained his confidence after some time as I become his personal “dermatologist”. It should have been treated when the problem started. Oh well, maybe it was but treatment isn’t continuous so the problem recurred. Anyway, what I want him to overcome is his aloofness in derma clinics and the facial care section in the malls or shops. Wish he will gain total confidence soon.

Insomnia attack

…once again! I loathe this moment when I should be in deep slumber but I can’t even doze off. This happens every night and this is not something that I wanted. I have arranged my work schedule with my colleagues so I could go to bed at 2AM but everything failed. The moment that I logged off from work, my neurons are still active. No matter how hard I try, I end up tossing in bed thus disturbing Ace’ sleep so I have no choice but to get up, turn the PC on and find something to do. I’d better be productive until my neurons will finally feel the need to rest.

I know lack of sleep would result to many health issues including skin problems such as adult acne. Though I try to compensate the issue by taking the much needed rest during the day, I think it isn’t enough. Rest during the night is a lot different during the day even if I try to simulate night time by closing all windows and trying to prevent light from entering the room through the windows, turning on the a/c and wearing a sleeping mask (so I cannot see even a single streak of light), I don’t feel well rested after 4 to 5 hours of sleep. Insomnia indeed is driving me nuts!
