15-min rush: I am glad that I quit, but..... (pt 1)

Struggles anyone? I do have a lot, specially when doing things that I am not great at. I have a lot of things to share but the thing is, I don't know how.

I'm just going to try to do an article within 15-mins. Just type or post whatever comes into my mind. Let's try it out.

Let me share my gorgeous and lovely sponsors! Read their articles too! 

Time started: 11:40 pm

Time ended: 11:55 pm

I haven't published that much this week and I just realized that it's Saturday already, the last day of the week. In my previous article, I mentioned that I will start writing once a week to challenge myself and I almost forgot about it. So while I am starting this article, still nothing comes into my mind. But I remember the stuff that I usually do before, when I was working. I remembered my bisyo (vices).

Let me see if I can write something worth reading about my vices, before. BTW, before I got pregnant, I smoke/vape, I drink, I do whatever I want just to get my mind off of things. When I got pregnant, it was actually weird because I wasn't craving any of my bisyo. I noticed that I don't vape or drink as often as before. Then I stopped. Yes, all of a sudden during my pregnancy and after birth. I stopped. Well for now, I am kind of craving to smoke or vape again due to some things and I am trying really hard.

DISCLAIMER: To all the kids, minor or underaged people who are reading this, take note that I do not encourage you to do this. I am just sharing what it was like to me.

When I was in college, I promised to myself that I won't smoke because my father is a smoker. I don't want those cravings and frustrations to be put on a stick and that is a danger to yourself. I tried to smoke. I didn't like it at first. I choked. I don't like it. Well life happened, studies, problems in all sorts and silly me trying to piss of one of my ex-bf, I started taking one cigarette from my father's pack and learning how to smoke. Right there and then I understood why people smoke.

And then years later, when I started working I still do smoke but then the current president implemented the Smoking Ban. The place that I worked in, also banned smoking. They started to assign designated places for smoking and then suddenly did not allow it anymore. When the smoking ban was just implemented we used to climb all the way up and down to our buildings roof deck, which really took so much time and effort. But we do have a separate vaping area and then my friend suggested to vape instead because she was so tired of coming along with me going up to the roof deck (5th flr).

I tried vaping, it's a bit lighter, enough to satisfy my cravings and an alternative way to quit smoking and of course I still drink of course occasionally.

THAT WAS VERY VERY SHORT! Time's up for me because my breastpump automatically turned off. Yes, I am milk pumping while doing this. HHAHAHA! Maybe I'll do a 2nd part of this one next week or I'll do a separate article for this.

Adios!
