The Gluten Free Lifestyle

Never in a thousand years would I have ever wished a gluten free lifestyle on anyone. Ever since being diagnosed with the condition that doesn't allow me to eat the precious gluten, life has not been a fun ride. A manageable one but definitely not an enjoyable one. I mean, I love food. No wait, allow me to be specific. I love baked things. Cakes, chocolates, donuts, cupcakes, scorns, name anything that has wheat in it and that's my true love. No kidding. Back in school, I used to buy a kitkat every single day and catch a quick bite during class every time the teacher looks away. Fun times.

It all started with the stomach pains. I'm going to get real here for a second. It hurt like a read biatch. I swear. And to top that off, add in the non stop vomiting. Yep, non stop till like two in the morning for a week. It was that bad. I couldn't keep food or tablets in. And oh boy, the nausea. All round, I can honestly say it was the worst time in my entire life and I just wanted all the pain to stop.

So, I ended up in at the doctors and he said to cut out all wheat and gluten since both my brother and mother can't eat it either (yay genetics -_-) and after I cut it out, turns out all the pain disappeared. So that was settled. It's been tough living the gluten-free life but it's just something that needs to be accepted and life moves on. It's not such a bad thing though since I'm really grateful not be feeling sick anymore. I'd take a healthy lifestyle any day over a painful one. 

However, cutting all wheat and gluten does not mean everything is going to be fine. In order to be at the best position that you can, make sure to eat well. And when I mean well, I'm talking about the 

green juice,
green tea, and 
all things green.




It's better to be healthy than suffer throughout your youth.

If Only Studying Was As Easy As Singing A Song

Oh boy, studying. It's funny how when you're approaching a new semester and you're all excited about studying and finally having something to do, but then all of a sudden when the time comes you suddenly find yourself having to a dozen other things and well that poor books get neglected and then exams are fast approaching like a sudden thunderstorm and the next thing you know, you don't even want to hear the word studying because your head feels like its going to explode. Whew. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Yup, that's studying for you. Oh should I rephrase? It's more like not studying and then dealing with the pressure of those actions. I'd like to think of myself as good at studying but then when actually writing the paper, suddenly all the information flies over my head. I'm sure there was a time for you when you're sitting with your pen raised to attack that question but then the next thing you know, you suddenly can't find the wo...

All Things Hair

You know that feeling when you're looking at an advert and you see this woman with the most gorgeous, soft hair and you think, wow so if I use that product my hair is going to look exactly like that. And then you go ahead and spend loads of money on all these products and guess what? Your hair is still the same frizzy mess as when you first started off. Now, where's the hope in that? No matter how much I try, my hair is still one heck of a mess. I so, so wish my hair could look amazing and soft but nope, it just goes ahead and does its own thing. Who gave you permission, hair. Certainly not me.  It's funny how no matter what you do, what you use and how much you try, things just don't happen the way you expect them to. That's reality, I guess. Sometimes expectations are far off from reality. But still, I keep on trying.  Another funny thing is how every single person praises this certain hair straightener and when I go out and buy it and it's my f...

Movie Experience

Is it really better to have any excitement and expectations for a movie or simply have no at all? On one hand, being excited makes you all riled up and ready to take the movie on while on the latter, you're saving yourself from all the disappointment in case the movie down right sucks. Yes, being excited for a movie has its perks but then again not being excited has its own perks too. The question now is what do we do about it. I'm guessing the right and most reasonable solution to the problem would be too have a little excitement and very little expectations. The funny thing is sometimes our brains and bodies does the complete opposite of what we want. Although the feeling of being excited and having loads of excitement which then turns to be completely right is quite a good feeling. But then again, the opposite makes you think, what the hell am I watching. Sometimes it's like a lucky packet. You can't really predict how a movie is going to be until you watch it...
