Our IVF Journey YouTube Series

Hello!

I have recently started a YouTube series called Our IVF Journey about the In Vitro Fertilization process that husband and I have gone through the past months. And since I was advised to take it easy after the Embryo Transfer and that I should behave as if I'm already pregnant until the Beta HCG test says otherwise, I have at least 2 weeks of bed rest days ahead.  With nothing much to do while on "room arrest" except read, write, binge-watch, crochet, sew, or draw/paint while in bed, I thought why not throw in vlogging in there as well. You know, be productive instead of worrying and agonizing while waiting for the big day.  Share my experience to anyone out there who might be interested and in need of it. Who knows? It might be of some help, no matter how little, to some people or couple trying to conceive like us.

 Anyway, here's a link to the series: Our IVF Journey and below, is the introduction video:

How To Lose A Friend in 12 Easy Steps

(A True Story)


Are you someone looking to lose a friend? Or just someone who values superficial things over real friends? Or just someone out of control when things don't go your way? 

Or maybe, someone who is in desperate need of a true friend but doesn't know how to keep them and so, only ends up with superficial friends every now and then?

Here is how two friends got turned off by a friend whom they admire, respect and really look up to...



Step 1. Call your friend in the middle of the night and ask them where they are. Don't bother with "hi" or "hello". Just say, "where are you?"

Step 2. Demand that they come over at your place right that instant because you need an audience for your rantings about your boyfriend. Tell them that you are going to pick them up if they say no and give you excuses like, there's no cab, or that they are on their way home from work and that they are really tired. Who cares if it's already way past midnight? You need an audience! Only that matters!

Step 3. Tell them to buy you your favorite expensive ensaymanda, once they agree to come over.  Oh, so what if they had to go all the way back inside the mall and search for the store? They shouldn't be a baby and get you what you want.
