Healthy Mommies!

Early in the morning I was surprised to see my cousin Jhing who’s living now in Parañaque. We grew up together because we live close by, just a wall apart. When she got married she transferred to where her husband resides but she decided to entrust her daughter to her mother until now that her daughter is studying. Every weekends and holidays she visits and stays with her kid but sometimes she extends her stay for some reasons.

I was surprised to see her because it’s the middle of the week wherein she seldom dropped by her mom’s house. She told me that she’s alone in their house because her husband and kids went to the province. She wasn’t allowed by her boss to take a leave so she just stayed in her mom’s house for company. Oh well I really miss her bubbly and nerve-cracking ways when we’re just singles.

We were both mothers now and very healthy indeed, well I should say we’ve gained pounds. She told me she’s drinking some green tea to help her loose unwanted pounds and I can’t help but suggest that maybe she needs not just tea but some kind of fat burner like Fenphedra. She welcomed the idea but said she’ll think it over. Maybe she’ll try it for comparison.

His Birthday!

It’s my hubby’s birthday today but we’ve celebrated it last Sunday at the church joining his birthday with Gen. We cooked pancit bihon and canton and just had it with bread and soft drinks. It was a simple birthday but celebrated happily with all our brethren present because it’s Sunday. We have a habit in our church to celebrate each birthday with cooked pancit, spaghetti, lomi, sopas or anything that will feed us all lol! We just served this with cakes, biko or bread and presto we’ll feast on it. If the celebrant don’t have enough money we chipped in to raise needed amount, that’s how we do it just to make the birthday celebration happy.

Today he planned to buy pancit for his co-employees in Automatic Center but instead bought lechon manok to save time and effort in picking up pancit. For us we’ll just have dinner near the place where we works and will bring something for the kids as the place was too far for them to travel at night. Anyway we’ve already celebrated it last Sunday so they just told us to buy birthday cake. They really love cakes!

Getting Fat Again!

My cousins from Laguna dropped by our house, they’ve gone to the airport because my seaman niece is coming home for a one-month schooling. The flight was delayed in Singapore and rescheduled again today at 10 in the morning. My cousins are the daughter of the only sibling of my mother in Laguna and they’re like real daughters of my mom. We’ve had lots of catching up on stories and some other things and they asked if I’m pregnant. I laughed because I’m really fat now especially on my belly but I’m not going to be pregnant again! I’m thinking if I’ll be needing diet pills this time to get rid of my unwanted pounds. I’m thinking it over actually!

:WW - Cold Brrr!

Josh was thinking if he will go back to the pool after being out of the water for 20 minutes. We were at Embudo Resort in Pansol, Calamba, Laguna last January 1 and if you can remember the weather at that time was so low! Kids are kids no matter what the weather is, so everytime my kids got out of the water I gave them something hot like milk and noodles. Oh they just love it!

Assisting Your Kid In School

Parents’ support and assistance on their children is very important especially on their school activities. My two daughters are on their primary years in school and as they grow up their assignments and projects tend to get complicated. Most of the times they’re required to bring objects and things needed to do experiments and projects.

Yesterday Ruth brought magnets for their lesson on materials which can be magnetized and those that can’t. Well she’s very excited like me when I was a kid. Science was my favorite subject then and every laboratory class was super exciting to me. I even represented the school for a competition and even if I didn’t won the competition for me it was a good experience.

:Today's Flowers #23

I just love the color of this flower I caught on my cam. It's just a simple flower but the color is so vivid I can't help taking shots. It's one of the flowers that I saw in Villa Dominga Forest Resort. There are plenty of this one there and even if I wanted this flower so much I forgot to ask the caretaker the name of this one. I know I can get this kind in Laguna but I'll have to know it's name so I can just text it to my cousin and they can have it sent it to me when someone from our town goes to Manila or near our place.

Got another entry here!

Travel Protection

It’s fun to travel around places because you’ll see beautiful places, meet a lot of people and learn different culture and tradition of various races. If only I could have extra time and enough money to go I’ll surely travel a lot outside the country. But for those whose job requires them to go different places across the country and the globe its best if they have travel medical insurance to ensure they’re covered with medical provision if something happens to them while they’re on travel. Anyway there are many companies that offer travel protection plans online so you just have to choose the best for your specific needs.

: Food Friday - Sapin Sapin

This is Sapin Sapin from Dolors, one of the best delicacies in Malabon aside from their well-known Pancit which was one of my favorite also. It's one of our food in our last eat together in BT&T brought by Winroe who's living near the place.

We love the soft, thin and delicious sapin sapin made to perfection, for me it's one of the best. Actually I'm living in Cainta where food like these are also a delicacy but I'm not much on rice cakes except for a few. This one captured my taste and I bet you'll never be able to resist it also when you see one :-)

Happy Friday to all! Enjoy your weekend;)
