* the loveLY. the ugLY.....

PMS-ing must be one of the most uncomfortable things to experience for a woman. I don't know about other women out there lah, but it definitely makes me feel uncomfortable.

It's easy for me to tell when I'm gonna have a real bad time of a period for a certain month. But then again, when do I NOT have a bad period? Darn! Okie, an extra bad one. PMS tells it all. That's why it's called Pre-Menstrual Syndrome...

Okie guys...let me say this to you. You probably feel uncomfortable when you see a girl/woman acting like not herself, and then you think, "Oh dear, she's PMS-ing! I'd better get faaaaaaar and awaaaaaaay!! Scram!"

Sure it would feel uncomfortable...who likes hanging around people who are grumpy and touchy, anyway? But trust me on this, it's even more uncomfortable for a girl/woman who's going through PMS.

You know why? Because her hormones are topsy-turvy and it's like a bottle filled a quarter with sand, and someone takes it and goncang it real hard. Okie lah, lame analogy...forget I said that. =P But you get my drift, yes?

So what can happen during PMS?
1. She becomes grumpy and grouchy.
2. She becomes irritable.
3. She becomes more sensitive emotionally...like, maybe 5-10 times more sensitive than usual. Sometimes even more.
4. She feels like eating anything and everything, and then craves for more food.
5. She thinks irrationally.
6. She has hot flushes...then, she's literally HOT.
7. She has aches here and there, all over the body.
8. She becomes extra anxious.
9. Some changes happens physically, and I don't think I shall mention them. =)
10. She gets depressed and everything feels wrong.

Of course, NOT all girls/women go through ALL of that, nor does this happen every month. Don't get frightened...

So what can you do to help them? For one, be your normal self, be nice, and don't scram. We don't want to scare you guys off...and trust me, it's not like we like or love going through this phase at all. Maybe cracking a good joke might help.

And of course, DO NOT EVER EVER EVER say, "What's up with you today? Why are you so grumpy?"

Once those words are out, that's it. You don't want all hell breaking loose, do you? Or rather, those rivers of tears breaking the dams.

So, yup...just be nice and polite, and smile and laugh. =)

* A note to the women: PMS isn't an excuse for us to "behave bad" anyway...we must control! I'm still learning...sigh.......

Forgiveness is a promise, not a feeling.

Those seven words put together make up such a powerful statement. When I read that, it almost blew my mind away...I don't really know how to explain the feeling lah.

For me, it means three things.

One, when God says He forgives me, He's telling me that there's NO PROBATION TIME, NO TRIAL PERIOD. His forgiveness for me is for REAL, and guess what? The best part is, He promises NOT to bring it up, ever again, in the future, and He will NOT use it against me nor remind me of the horrible and yucky stuff I've done in the past. Such a wonderful promise, isn't it? =)

Two, it simply means that when I say I forgive you or you or you, I am making a promise never to use your past as a weapon against you. Sure it sounds easy enough...but I guess it really does require a lot of effort, and not just any kind of effort on my own. It's the kind of effort where I need to depend on the Holy Spirit to help me through to NOT DO A THING EXCEPT TO REMAIN CALM AND COMPOSED when what I really feel is like punching the person in the head, or feel like gorging their eyeballs out, or feel like pulling their hair out, or feel like lashing out at them and say, "You did this and that and this and that to me!!!"

Oh God, help me...help me to remember that forgiveness is a promise and not just a feeling.

Three, it reminds me of those people who've said, "I forgive you" to me...they understand what it truly means to forgive, and have kept their promise not to use my past as a weapon against me. To those people, I thank you...you have shown much grace and mercy, and it's highly commendable. =)

guy, no more being bullied by him.

Anyways Isaac, do take care, be good, don't
sleep tooooo much, haha...may the Lord bring you
on a journey of great discoveries and
continue to use you mightily.

It was Caysha's first time to church last Sunday. =)
She got LOADS of attention, haha...

Posted by ltsmei at 10:55 AM ~

Boy, isn't it good to be home... =) Been working my butt off for 11 days straight in a row, no rest in between except for those few hours of precious sleep in between working days. Well, what can I say...such is the life of a nurse. I miss student life!!!!!!!!!

Okie anyways, it's finally my day off and I'm in Kluang. What better way to spend your day off than to be home, eh? I woke up at 10am, such a bum but it felt so luxurious!! =P Heeheehee...

By the way, did you know that Yahoo! has this secrecy code? It's a wonderful thing, I tell you...it notifies you when you've got a new email in your inbox, and whom it's from. But of course, like all good things, they come in small and limited packages. Hehe... =P Muahahahahaha...

Please excuse me, I know I'm high. My day off is too precious to be behaving like a sad monkey. I've even offered to babyseat Caysha during YF time...it's funny that I should have the day off from taking care of babies, but here I am today, offering to take care of one on my day off.

Oh but it's different...Caysha's not a sick baby. =)

*To Ryan: Enjoy your 3 weeks holiday! To Zul: Enjoy your 2 years of army life! To me: Enjoy your 1 day off work! =)

There is nothing like getting up at 5am. Really.

I get to see Jo talk in her sleep...no wait, she not only talks, she laughs too! =P Hahahahhahahahhh!!!!! Oh wait, and she squirms around in a funny way, the haha funny, not the weird funny...dah lah she has funny and weird sleeping positions, just imagine when she squirms...

Oh boy, priceless, I tell you...and I go to work laughing. =P

Jiejie Eunice doesn't do such funny stuff...only open her eyes and stare at you (but then when she's seriously up after that, she doesn't remember doing anything like that), then shuts them again.

There's nothing like getting up at 5am. =)
