Dry skin is a big problem for me. It itches and discolours the skin. And one of the main reasons I’m having them is my habit of bathing with hot water. For me to quit bathing with real warm water is like quiting drinking coffee. Tough.
I drink about a litre of water everyday and that seems to help a little. The dryness has caused skin discolouration that it can be really uncomfortable if I go out without putting on some foundation to level the skin tone. By looking at how ugly my skin has become I know I really should try to lower down the heat. 
Well, talking about hot water and shower, that reminds me we need to change the shower hose for the 3rd time in a few months. Think we need to get a something thicker like a petroleum hose instead. :p Perhaps all the hot water is causing the early damage? I really, really, really need to get rid of this habit of showering with hot water.

Went on a hike last weekend. I’ve gone on many a hikes but this one is special cause it’s the first time we went in a big group of 11 people. We wanted to walk for 10 kms but ended up doing nearly 20. We got lost in the forest for nearly an hour. In the end I was totally beat. No way, I thought, that I’d be able to walk the next day. I remember that I felt like I could barely stand while I watched the store cashier scanning our cold drinks with a cordless barcode scanner. However interestingly the next day my feet didn’t hurt as much as I expected them too and I walked just fine. I guess all the walking I’m doing at work has paid off.

I got my new eyeglasses sometime in July last year. After 5 years using my old one. That too because the old one was broken. However I noticed that I may need to get a new check up because I’m getting headaches. It may not be because of my glasses but it would be good just to find out.
I’ve been using prescription glasses for about 19 years going on 20. That is a long time. Every year my eyesight would worsen a little. So much so that I’ve thought of doing LASIK. Perhaps it is way cheaper in the long run.
Well, got to safe money for that. Don’t earn enough for that just yet. However, at least I can still do eye exercises at least that slows down the worsening of my eyesight a little. After I managed to pay off my student loan then perhaps I can start saving for LASIK. 
There’s hope still.
As for now, I will be visiting the nearby optician just a few blocks away just to make sure that my eyesight is okay. Hopefully I won’t have to get a new pair too soon.

So live life to the fullest. Well, that is what most of us would love to do but not all are blessed enough to have it.
A family friend just passed away a week ago. He was 79 years old. We didn’t really know what he died of but we were told that his intestines were not functioning. It could be cancer. It is indeed one of the most common killers of people all over the world – be it lung cancer,Mesothelioma, breast cancer, bone cancer, etc.
I met him last sometime in January or February this year. He looked fine then but we didn’t know that he was really sick. Who would have known that that would be our last meeting. He was a good man.
