MEET MANUKA FRIEND.

I've been having really bad acid reflux/heartburn the past week where my poor tummy and throat feel like they're on fire and so I've had enough and in order to avoid having to take that "purple pill" Nexium, I had to go online and look for a natural remedy/alternative that wouldn't involve yet another prescription medication. Well, low and behold, I think I found it! Manuka honey! WOOHOO! One teaspoon of this godsend stuff three times a day and I should be cured soon--sounds like a great product indeed, but God golly Ms. Molly, it is expensive! Little damn jar cost me $25.00 today at Whole Foods which is a really cool store with lots of awesome organic delicious-looking products that I wanted to buy, but I didn't wanna go broke or anything like that, so I only walked out with my pricey jar of manuka honey and a bag of organic garlic ranch potato chips. Well, I also kind of walked out with a hard-on because the damn store had lots of good-looking dudes. SHEESH! So this is what good-looking people do huh? Buy and eat organic!? HOW COME I NEVER FIGURED THIS OUT!?

Actually, this battle with heartburn is partially hereditary (through my dad's side), and I also think I may have gotten it when I first started going to the gym some four years ago, Yeah, all that bouncing around and stuff may have caused my stomach acids and crap to slosh around too much and I would notice that when eating after a good workout I started slowly developing this problem. But I'm so glad I finally found what I know is gonna cure it for good! MY MANUKA! Just love the sound of that, don't you? Say it: M-A-N-U-K-A! As a matter of fact, after just one tablespoon earlier in the evening, I already noticed considerable relief; in about three days I should feel a world of difference!

Before discovering my newfound obsession with manuka though, I did get a chance to see Dreamgirls and Apocalypto on DVD this past Memorial Day weekend. Dreamgirls was a good decent musical and very purty to look at, but it is Jennifer Hudson who stands out the most and whom richly deserved her Oscar win. Apocalypto was trying to portray the Mayans I suppose, but I felt like I was watching the Aztecs instead! Oh well, lots of good gory action, so it was okay.

And on the big screen: Spider-Man 3! I loved it! I really did! Meandering and all over the place, but Tobey Maguire is so adorable and so emotionally genuine in the movie! I thought there were plenty of good action sequences, and some really moving scenes even though I could plainly see some of the obvious CGI in certain shots. The film's been getting some bad reviews from critics and the public alike, but I liked it; enough so, that it now graces the top of my blog as ye can plainly see!

Time for my manuka teaspoon now.
