Punzi's Corner Blog: Addicted to Vicks...

Addicted to Vicks...

Blogging is but the newest of my addictions...

Sure, we all have our own little addictions. To some, it's the vices (sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.) which is bad. Some have good vices (oxymoronic?). To some, it's gaming, chatting, friendster, surfing, etc.

But I have an addiction that I had since high school. Sniffing Vicks Vaporub.

I have a big jar near my bed for easy access. You can see easily it in the picture of my laptop posted in my friendster account. As a matter of fact, there is also a small vicks container there that I take everywhere I go. And I'm actually sniffing it while blogging right now...

In fact, I immediately buy one from anywhere if I forgot to bring it with me. My high school classmates know this so well that they looked for my Vicks during our 10th anniversary reunion in 1997... Clients are not offended. In fact, they borrow my Vicks whenever they see me using it.

Mind you, I know I'm not alone in this addiction. During our family reunion last Christmas, I went up to the mic and asked, "If you have a Vicks container, please raise it up." Half the people there raised their Vicks. Genetic and/or hereditary... Some people even raised their "White Flowers."

Now that's really hardcore addiction!

At 5:47 AM, Punzi said...: Oo nga, Sam. Either damputin ako kung ma-classify na "dangerous/regulated drug" and vicks...

Before I went to law school, I seriously considered working for P&G, the makers of Vicks here. Almost accepted because of Vicks...heheheheh!

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
