I am running late...my apologies!
A cousin of mine passed away and I had to go to Cebu over the weekend to attend her funeral and back in Bacolod within 24 hours. I am still not over the thought that she passed away trying to deliver her baby and we both lost them. (I will blog about it another time.)
Needless to say I am so tired and in the middle of so many things...but oh well, Monday is supposed to be a Fun Monday so here goes some brand names which makes life easy, well at least mine!
Let me start with Tylenol! This has been a good company in times of migraines. I always carry it in my bag...and for whatever reason this really works well with me than any other pain relievers.
After this comes my comfort drink --
The latest addition which is close to my heart and has been helping me get by my crazy schedule is Blackberry!
And of course there are a lot of brand names which makes life generally easy to a point that we have used this brand names as generic labels...below are some examples which I can think of --
