….

I'm glad that I didn't binge on food last night though I did with canned soda. I basically even ate less than my usual consumption during holidays..good for me. I'm aiming not to gain weight anymore 'cause I'm currently at 105lbs already. The temptation is ever present but it has become a habit now to only eat when hunger sets in. I'm trying to eat healthier foods now like nuts and fruits though I don't deprive myself with sweets once in a while.

To date, I'm now at page 11 of the Oxford American Dictionary, still at letter A..hehe;) I have started this (improving my pronunciation) I think, 2 or 3 months ago. I realized that there have been words that I was mispronouncing. I used to ignore the pronunciation keys when using a dictionary thus mispronouncing the words that I rarely use in everyday communication. This is one thing that I really want to continue until I reach its last page.

Last Thursday, I had my ear checked at Clinica Manila. I have an impacted cerumen that has been giving me a little yet tolerable discomfort for the past days. The doctor prescribed me antibiotic drops. Before the prescription, the actual process of  'taking out' of the wax was quite painful (the doctor actually advised me to put baby oil on it first but I wanted to have it removed on the same night). I still have the ringing and the buzzing sound that really affect my hearing. I hope it'll go away 'cause it's bothering me already. Using cotton buds are not advisable when cleaning our precious ears as they pushes the wax deeper to the ear canal. It slowly builds there and hardens. Well, I've learned my lesson…I'll only use cotton buds when cleaning the area that's visible.
