Side Effects
This is f***ed up! Going back to my skin check up this morning, my dermatologist said that I can't enjoy summer, why? because i still can't go to the beach to enjoy the sun and swim. NnNoOoO! And this is because of my skin allergy. PMLE or Polymorphous Light Eruption ooooooorrrrrr allergy to sunlight.. I have blogged this to my other social network site already, but for the sake of the others who don't know this type of skin condition and its effects, i'll repeat it here on my blogspot.
PMLE or Polymorphous Light Eruption is a type of skin disease that is caused by sunlight or excessive sun exposure. I think this happen mostly to sensitive skin types like mine but probably to all who have always or been always exposed to heavy sunlight like the working people in Makati who is also having long walks to reach their offices in the morning, everyday. Moving on, the first that you will notice to come out are many, tiny, itchy red rashes on the body parts that had/have been shortly or longly exposed to the sun. The rashes came out mostly on my arms, neck and face, few on my legs and feet. It's very itchy that if you scratch it like hell, it can turn out to be medium sized lesions(i don't know how to call it). In my history of skin allergy,i also have an eczema, so the effect on my skin is doubled up. I think PMLE is also the same as Solar Eczema coz of the same cause. Side effects(socially, mentally...) of it to me was, irritable, hot-headed and it cost me my self-confidence in going out because people will not be just curious, they are like, disgusted of it. You know righhtt?? This skin condition is not that serious, all you will need is sunscreen/sunblock and clothing protection. Doctor's advice for me, sun avoidance. if going out even if inside your residence premises, wear:
*Sigh* I hope you learned something from what i am experiencing right now. Be careful, it's out there, lurking! lol
buh-bye!

Doctor's advice for me, sun avoidance. if going out even if inside your residence premises, wear:
- Cap - also covering your ears
- Arm sleeves - which you can buy at sport shops.
- Pants/Shirt - of course
- Sunglasses/Shades
- Socks
- Gloves - if you feel like it.
- A lot of sunscreen - in the face/neck and arms if no gloves. And;
- Prescribed Ointment - for the lesions to subside (and continue to put some 'til it's gone inside and outside of the skin.

Ledge Dance? Anyone?
Wednesday, I am having a boring day: selling, staying at our sari sari store, listening to nothing but my cousin's blah and blah's and the sound of the broomstick sweeping the floor. I was like Juno sitting inside the abortion clinic, hearing different annoying noises.....And i, wanted to get out! :( ... Anyway, here's my cousin(photo) who talks to himself at times. haha. He is also annnnnoooying. Kids.
After my routine of 7 hrs, it's my brother's turn to be in the store and me going home, eat lunch, take a bath and rest. [my rest includes: net surf, PS3 and of course, sleeping. :D]... Waking up from a not so bad dream of mine, i read Leo's text message and inviting me to have a drink in patron or padi's, so i said yes but i got no papers men, and still he insisted and said they'll treat me. yay! Ok so there, met up and talk about stuffs and got to our destination, PATRON, Island Cove former Fisherman's Deck, new stage set-up, nice ambiance but it's still an oldies bar. haha. The band playing was R-3 or Rythm of Three, an oldies type of band too. :)). We don't appreciate the sounds there when a set is over so Leo decided to hop in another bar, which is Padi's Point Cavite. haha.. It was banging! the speakers i mean, good beats, but the best part of all, the ledge dance! wahaha. Smile aki'y. I did smile because the dancers or one of the dancers was doing a dance that i can't really understand, is that a carlton dance?? lmao! Sigh. haha. We got s***faced already, so it's time to go wash it at home. :)
