or you just take medicines? i used to take medicines and pain killers, but more recently, i just contend myself with these external remedies. i think i have enough drugs that could last a lifetime. hehehe

hahaha you naughty, naughty kid! hahaha i like the scents of those things, even if other's hate it. i try not to use them too much in the plane though, because others may be nauseated by the smell. but the smells comfort me. hahaha

Ah, yes, I am sick and tired of taking medicines. Prescripted medicines, over the counter medicines, they all will make you get sicker in the end, with their side effects and all. So I would rather also use menthol sticks for aches and pains.

before when i have a headache i just pop a pill and voala...the pain gone. but now it doesn't work any longer. maybe because my system got immuned with too much painkillers i took. and i got acidic with advil. so now when the headache is mild i just massage my shoulders, back and head with liniment. it works...
