Bulk Like the Hulk

D1 told me that my son asked her information regarding a certain brand of testosterone. What the heck will my son do with that?! I immediately sent him a text message asking him why he has been asking his sister about testosterone. My son laughed and told me that I have nothing to worry about as he was just doing diligent research about the best testosterone booster out in the market today as he is seriously considering taking the supplement.

"Why? Whatever for?" I queried.

"Mom, I've been working out since forever and I still don't have the necessary cuts!"

I told him that he should eat more protein and more meals a day for his muscles to develop. He said he will but he thinks testosterone booster will work. I told him to read up and ask other body builders first before plunging into taking the supplements.

Great Food!

D3's birthday party was small one. She only invited some of her cousins on her dad's side.Though the guests were less than 20, it seemed like I fed 50! Gosh these kids CAN EAT! I have about 5 types of food plus cake and ice cream not to mention chips and drinks. There were no leftovers except for empty plates and bottles and a disorderly house. I think the guests like that I cooked burger and chicken on the spot and that instead of the usual spaghetti, I served the "fried" variant. Yep! It was cholesterol galore. Our young guests stayed until 3:00 A.M. and that was when I literally shooed them home for they were still so boisterous the neighbors might complain. Not that I really care about my neighbors. I sort of missed out on the "eating" part as I was busy cooking. Next time I have a party I think I'll order Phentermine to suppress their appetites. Caution should be observed when taking this med though.

Acne Treatment

D1 has an acne breakout. She has seen a dermatologist but her pimples are still popping out. Her cousin has the same problem and her skin doctor placed her on a high level of tretinoin - a highly effective for adult acne treatment. The thing is someone on tretinoin has to take extra precaution against the sun's harmful UVB and UVA rays. D1 decided not to consider the treatment as aside from being extra careful from the sunlight, the treatment is super expensive! I guess D1 will just have to stick to her present acne treatment.

No Hand Dryer

Ethan and I went to a mall the other day. I was going to buy some items for D3's birthday party. The first thing we did when we reached the mall was to "eat". Ethan cannot bear to walk along side me in the mall unless I fuel him up with "food". It was almost noon so lunch was really a necessity.

I had to go to the restroom first to wash my hands. What irked me was the mall has such a small restroom. What irked me more than the constrained space was the fact that the water from the faucet has little pressure and that there are is no working hand dryer! Sometimes going to a first class mall is better as customer service is great and restrooms have hand dryers. Good thing I always carry a hanky.

We ate lunch then bought the items needed for D3's birthday bash.

The Old Trellis...

The trellis that opens to the dining area is about ready to fall down. The wood frames were infested by rot because there were hidden parts of the wooden framing that were not painted before being nailed. The trellis is glass roofed thus giving the area a semi-solarium feel. The trellis has to go. As I write it is now being dismantled. The trellis are was witness to numerous boisterous parties and on occasions, quiet heart to heart talk. The trellis will be missed!

Hopefully by next week I'll have a brand new semi-enclosed patio. I want to turn the space into an outdoor extension of the dining room complete with outdoor furniture and outdoor patio cushions. I already ordered 3 whole panels of bronze polycarbonate for the roofing. I'll post pictures once I am done with this little home improvement project of mine.
