Living in Chronic Pain Good morning guys. Today is another one of those days where I woke up at 4 in the morning with numb, tingling, and painful arms and hands. This is due to an injury I sustain last year from nursing an MS(Multiple Sclerosis) patient. I am not quite sure of the nature of this injury. It feels like nerve impingement but it could be other things. All I know is it originates from my shoulder and it somehow messes up my arm circulation. Sometimes unilaterally…
Dessert Tapas! Hi guys! I have skipped a writing day yesterday because I really do feel unwell. The back pain has left me very exhausted and hungry for sleep and my CPR refresher training did me no favours yesterday. I was in excruciating pain after doing 3 lots of compressions on a fake person. Anyway here I am trying to get back on track with my writing. And today is another food blog, since food does make me happy in a lot of degrees! I will be talking about our second…
My Boyfriend to the Rescue Yesterday was not a great day for me despite it being my day off. I know people are probably tired of hearing about my bad back but I was suffering yesterday. I had so many things do do but I settled for a lazy day as even the weather was just miserable. We had a thunderstorm brewing the past couple of days and it was making my spirits down. I was intermittently sleeping the whole day during the times when the pain dissipates as I really needed…
Life At 32! ***"Remember, remember the 5th of November!" -Guy Fawkes*** Hello everyone! I hope all is well on your neck of the woods. Last Saturday was my birthday and we did so many things so I got a plenty of things to write about for the next couple of days. This article would be just snippets of it as I'm afraid I won't be able to do the day justice if I force them all in one article. I woke up with a nice surprise. My boyfriend's present was laying on the foot of the…
Guy Fawkes Day Fireworks **"Remember, remember the 5th of November!" -Guy Fawkes** Lucky for me I get free fireworks in the United Kingdom for my birthday as I was born the same night as the Guy Fawkes Day or more commonly known as the Bonfire Night. Now you might be asking, "Who on earth is Guy Fawkes, Flo?" Guy Fawkes or Guido Fawkes is the gutsy guy who tried to blow up the Parliament House to assassinate the then king of England James I, but failed and got executed.…
Luxmuralis in Bristol Cathedral: Space Voyager Hi guys, today I will take you to church and share with you something beautiful and mesmerising. During my birthday, after all the fireworks excitement, Andrea and I were headed home. The only last pit stop we wanted to make was iced coffee as I was craving for one. However, we ended up doing a totally different and totally spontaneous thing. We noticed that there was a long queue at the Bristol Cathedral. And as curious…
A Lovely Surprise From Ireland Hello everyone I hope you are as happy today as I am! I got a surprise parcel today from the postie and it really made my day! Our lovely@tired_momma here on read had kindly sent me some birthday presents from the Philippines but bought in Ireland. I recalled in one of our conversations here on read that I mentioned to her that I missed eating misua/vermicelli noodles but cannot find a Filipino store near me. I did not expect her to offer to…
A Day in Salisbury ❤️ Hi guys! TGIF! My boyfriend and I started the day right by waking up early to do a morning jog/walk. Today is my day off and I am pretty psyched because we are heading to see the Stonehenge. But first, we had to stop by at Salisbury as it is the closest town we could get the bus to the Stonehenge from. And also because we needed some breakfast after such rigorous early morning workout. 😂 Salisbury is quite an interesting town to me because they have a…
Part I: Visit to Stonehenge Hello readers. In this article, I will be sharing to you my first ever visit to the iconic Stonehenge (hopefully not the last). In my almost 4 years of being in the UK, I have never been until my boyfriend Andrea finally took me there last weekend. We took the Stonehenge tour bus from Salisbury City Centre and began our journey to the henge. The bus fare was 34£ per person which included the entry fee to the Stonehenge, old Sarum, and the…
Happy Birthday Uncle Danny I am not a very social person, I am actually quite timid but I really took annual leave to attend a Filipino party for yesterday as it is for family. I am currently outside my comfort zone as I am mingling with a crowd for my cousin's husband's birthday. Current time stamp while I'm writing this is is 1 AM. But will probably be continuing this later in the day. It was 1 hour and 40 minutes travel from Bath to their home in Bristol and I was getting…
I was staying with my cousins for the weekend and here are their cute but feisty dogs who didn't stop barking at me even as I left after 2 nights.
Part Il: Visit to Stonehenge Hi guys I am sorry I haven't been present much because I was busy making the most of Andre on his annual leave last week and also because I have not been well and the weather has been making me sluggish. I have missed all of you! As promised, here is the continuation of our Stonehenge visit.

Sharing our Stonehenge trip. It's been long overdue as I have been an unmotivated girl due to the cold weather. It is a thing I swear. I think I'm going into hibernation. https://read.cash/@flapiz/part-il-visit-to-stonehenge-2a4750ac
