Php 1000 less

i spent Php 1000 in just a day.

here's the list:

Php 700
a. for my tablets - 10 tiny white worm-like thingies with a very ominous name, VIRLIX,
b. for my cream - it kind of looks like your ordinary Terramycin except that it's white and its name is girly, ELICA,
c. my new skin cleanser (re:soap) - it is fragrance-free, lanolin-free, non-comedogenic, and soap-free. (wonder how that is!)

Php 300 for consultation fee to the dermatologist, a married woman who was a professor in med school. she works in the UP Health Service, and thank God! she's kind! and also, her secretary's kind! (for once, there are kind people on UPHS! *tears of joy*) she made me write down information about myself on a red and white infosheet with strawberries on the banner. she made me use her ballpen which was a peculiar little thing: it had a small soft heart-shaped pin-cushion-like thingy on the non-writing end.

she said i had skin asthma, so my skin can't retain moisture for a long while. i wasn't allowed to use alcohol or any similar substance any longer. i wasn't even allowed to use scented soap. wahhhh!!! she said that the main triggers of skin asthma are: fragrance, coloring and preservatives. so beware of what you're using, folks! I've already blacklisted Ever Bilena products. Dove is a no-no for me. And Palmolive is on hold.


hayyy... i hate spending so much on myself. And my eyes are so itchy! wahhh!!!

yep... ominous indeed. virlix. ang mahal ng gamot. makes you wonder why the substance they are made of is so expensive. must have something to do with the economy. :P

cetaphil ba ang iyong skin cleanser? mahusay yan, madaling nagcclear up ang kutis. :) it's so gentle you dont have to rinse it off with water (pero binabanlawan ko parin :) ).

sana gumaling ka na po. :)

Virlix is very good, one of the most trusted anti-allergy medicine. =) it's great to know you had a "wonderful" time at the infirmary; those are rare occasions. hehehe. =P

at least your illness is not a mystery anymore. =) praise God.
