又是一条好汉

TGIF!

Once Friday is here, I don't feel nausea anymore, my constipation is gone, and my appetite is back.

It's time to go for good food and shopping again.

到了星期五，我又是一条好汉。

长痛不如短痛

Have you tried pulling a sticking plaster from your wound?

Do you preferred to pull it off slowly or strip it off within a split of a second?

After so many tries, now I know it feels less painful to strip the plaster off as quickly as possible.

Week 8 Day 3

The passed two days were really bad for me, because the doctor increased my chemo dosage as my blood test result was good and able to take more dosage.

The nausea was worse than before and Kytril seems not powerful enough to suppress it. I think next week I will request for Emend.

Week 7 Day 7

Tomorrow will be my 5th chemotherapy. That's still subjected to my blood test result tomorrow and doctor's approval. 

If you ask me, of course I would like to have another week of chemo-free holiday.

妻不如妾

有一句话：

妻不如妾，妾不如妓，妓不如偷，偷不如偷不着；偷不着不如差点被捉个正着。

比喻的是男人拈花惹草的心态：

妻子不如二奶漂亮，二奶不如妓女可以天天换，嫖妓不如偷情刺激，偷情不如瞪着流口水；最刺激的还是差点被捉奸在床，从后门逃走。

其实那句话也可用来比喻女人想拥有名牌包包的心态：

第一个包包不如第二个包包漂亮，第二个包包不如租来的包包可以天天换，租包包不如偷偷瞒着老公去买个包包，偷偷去买包包不如想买又没钱买；最刺激的是东挑西选之后，正要付钱时突然又不买了。
