REASON FOR BEING IDLE

My Sweet Serenity has been idle for how many days now...because i was busy with Couples Corner weekly topic to my other other blog, Our Lives Together.

But for the update of what's happening with the renewal of my visa and my health. Well, the other day, together with my boss(as i was expecting that he was still authorize to process any visa application to the Department of Immigration and Residency) we went there to apply for the renewal of my visa...but then when we we're called and upon checking our documents...the arab lady in the counter told us that only the sponsor can go there to apply for that. It was for the reason that when the immigration card was renewed by the other partner my boss that time was not in town so only one signature was there. So now, we have to wait for that partner who is in contact with the sponsor to come to either ask the sponsor to process for it or change the immigration card.

About my health... am a bit okay now. I wasn't feeling that bad anymore with the medicine i am taking everyday....

SKIN ASTHMA/ALLERGY

Asthmatics! This condition runs in our family. Two of my brother had a lung asthma...Bobo and Bong. They say before 7 years old asthma attach should stop or else it will keep on coming back especially when triggered. Good thing Bong's asthma had stop before he turned 7 but not for my younger bro. Till now he is suffering from this being "hikain". He's already 15 now.

Base on the article i have read from Sunstar Davao.... Asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (a.k.a skin asthma) are related. If a family member has one of this, others may suffer from any of the two.

Ok fine it runs in the family so aside from my brother i have this allergic rhinitis. I have not gone for a check up to confirm whether this is what i have but based on the symptoms i dearly confirm that i have skin asthma.

When i was 5 till i reach 13 years old i could not eat shrimps or crabs because of allergy. But my granny told me don't mind the allergy just go and eat till your body get used of it then the allergy will go.....which i did. I continued to eat more shrimps and crabs (my uncle's who is a fisherman used to bring us crabs those times). And if after a minute i'd be feeling bad and starts to sratch any parts of my body, Nanay will prepare "bao ng niyog" with "baga", "kamanyang" (myrr) and incense. Then on top of it she will put the "balat ng hipon or talukap ng crabs" till it burns. And i will inhale the smoke while i am covered with blanket. Wait till i sweat until the allergy (redness) disappear.

Now that i'm here in Dubai, the more i suffer with this allergy especially during winter season. And worst thing...the occurence is severe.

---it's how it looks like---
