Coming to Your Toilet Bowls Everywhere

Just one more push and Xenical, the used-to-be reputable Pinoy actress' diet drug of choice* circa 2000, will be a regular household item joining the likes of your thera-flus, advils and pepto-bismols. This could be the next exciting thing to a miracle drug of the hopelessly figure-conscious (like me) and the hopeful figure-challenged. Well, I have a Xen story of my own. Back in the days, not yet leading to the drug being legal but still considered illegal to the hands of a normal bmi individual, someone bummed me a couple of these pills. For a few days, the presence of oils in toilet bowls is reassuring, because I know the really 'bad' elements are being thrust out of my system. It's nasty but a little forgivable and...

...only, well, it is really nasty. The sight of oil for several days is disgusting. And I forgot about the smell, too. Who knows what chemical reaction might stir with oil touching a porcelain bowl (i know it's not an art piece). Plus there's the uncontrollable spotting, which I am not about to elaborate. I can just imagine one day Miss Miracle drug marking it's telltale signs to bathrooms everywhere. In the meantime, while waiting for that 'yes' from FDA, it might help to stock ahead with Scrubbing Bubbles.

Or just make friends with tomatoes.



*nowadays, it's elitist for any actress to say they went under the knife. They are sure proud being augmented...well, whatever.
