We Applied for a Marriage Certificate
Yes, we did, my girlfriend and I.
We had to undergo a marriage counseling and family planning seminar earlier today. Those are required for any marriage certificate application. At first I thought it was going to be boring but I was surprised that the speakers were actually very good in handling such seminars. They are very lively and they love to engage us (audience) with their talks. That alone made us alert all of the time.
I’ve learned a lot about contraceptives especially what can be our options later on we have started our own family. I just don’t like the idea that the woman can gain weight while on the pills. I like the IUD because it does not have any chemical reactions to the female body and the health officer claimed that it is completely safe, effective and gives no discomfort to the female.
We will be getting our marriage certificate on November 3 and I am glad that we have made this great leap on our preparations for our wedding.
I Got the Colds
This is the worst feeling anybody can get each year: running nose, body aches, sore throat, slight fever and a heavy body feeling. It’s the colds! And it’s still the one disease that science still has not found a cure.
I don’t know the reason why doctors and scientists cannot seem to find that great solution to finally defeat colds, all that we have today are medicines that alleviate the symptoms of the cold virus.
Speaking of viruses, this might be the toughest virus out there. Imagine, countless research, billions of dollars spent on finding a cure and still nada? I’m sure there are some breakthroughs out there but not enough to finally make science declare victorious over the cold virus.
So for now here I am, taking a pill for my stuffed nose and hoping that I can sleep soundly tonight, even though I have also been coughing all day.
