on a day like this.

i woke up to a cold Tuesday morning. it was raining.. and even if it stopped pouring, there's dark clouds the whole day. the weather makes me wanna sleep more.. to just stay in bed the whole day and read a good book. : ) but, i have to go to school to pass something to our thesis adviser. and because one of our groupmate is late, our thesis adviser left already and we have to go back again tomorrow.



i got my shoes already. : ) i ordered it from Kara. their business is making custom made shoes and bags. before we became friends, i was always having a hard time finding the perfect school shoes for me. a shoe that will give me comfort and at the same time strong enough to last for at least a year. and because i have a feet that is a little too small for my age, the size of the shoes is always a problem. i usually buy my shoes at Celine. but halfway through the semester, it gives up. and i have to find a new one again. thank goodness Kara shared her secret with me. from second year till now, i always have them make my school shoes. : ) you can tell them what design you like, what material to be used, and how high you want the heels. i can remember her Mom measuring my foot a few years back. and when my first order came, it fits perfectly. : )

i have UTI - urinary tract infection. it started Sunday night when i was feeling uncomfortable and there was pain when i was urinating. this is not new to me, last year, i had UTI for three times. so when i felt the pain, i knew immediately that it is UTI - again. i had my urine analyzed at the lab yesterday and went to see my OB. she gave me antibiotics for one week, and i feel better now. : ) please say a little prayer for me. : )

i read this at the net today and i want to share a part of it to you:

The urinary tract is the body's filtering system for removal of liquid wastes. Women are especially susceptible to bacteria which may invade the urinary tract and multiply resulting in infection.

Although most urinary tract infections or UTIs are not serious, they are painful. Approximately fifty percent of all women will have at least one UTI in her lifetime with many women having several infections throughout their lifetime. Fortunately, these infections are easily treated with antibiotics that cause the symptoms to quickly disappear. Some women seem are more prone to repeated infections than others and for them it can be a frustrating battle.

What are the Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections?

Symptoms of UTI or bladder infection are not easy to miss and include a strong urge to urinate that cannot be delayed which is followed by a sharp pain or burning sensation in the urethra when the urine is released. Most often very little urine is released and the urine that is released may be tinged with blood. The urge to urinate recurs quickly and soreness may occur in the lower abdomen, back, or sides.

This cycle may repeat itself frequently during the day or night--most people urinate about six times a day, when the need to urinate occurs more often a bladder infection should be suspected.

When bacteria enters the ureters and spread to the kidneys, symptoms such as back pain, chills, fever, nausea, and vomiting may occur, as well as the previous symptoms of lower urinary tract infection.

Proper diagnosis is vital since these symptoms can also be caused by other problems such as infections of the vagina or vulva. Only your physician can make the distinction and make a correct diagnosis.
