How Phobic I Am

Lately my friends and I were talking about our phobias for things and animals. Actually the main phobias I have is that of being in small confined or closed areas and of heights. Yes I'm afraid of heights that's why even if I want to ride in those awesome rides in Enchanted Kingdom I can't because I fear heights and I think mechanical equipments are not that safe even if the park's staff were so disciplined in maintenance and regular checkup. I came across this quiz about how phobic we are and this is the result of my test, care to see them!

You Are 28% Phobic

Scared? You? Not really. Everyone has a few normal phobias, and you're no exception.
It's okay to be afraid of a few things. You wouldn't be human if you weren't.

Everyday Fruits

I went over to Josh’ school the other day to arrange his special exam schedule for second periodical test. I brought Josh medical certificate and asked for his possible exam schedule. Teacher Joan scheduled it yesterday. They can’t give him schedule next week because their last day will be on their Costume/Halloween party. Anyway I also want him to finish all exams this week so we don’t have to worry about it next week.

It’s been a very busy week for me attending particularly to my son’s every need. During his sickness he wants me to be always near or beside him because he’s not feeling well then. Well these busy weeks have done some favor on me as a parent of Josh’ classmate asked me if I lost some pounds as I look a little slimmer than before. The last time she saw me was a month ago. Thanks to my lunch and dinner fruit dessert it’s making wonder on me that I didn’t have to think of diet supplements for now.

Know what I’m taking for my desserts? I’m eating 2-3 slices of fresh pineapple, papaya and citrus fruit. Sometimes for variation I replace papaya and citrus with banana and mango but not pineapple as it’s my favorite everyday fruit. I don’t only get vitamins from it but high fiber content as well which is perfect for burning bad cholesterol. It’s also cheaper than other fruits so there’s no worry about affordability. Well for those who can’t eat fruits you can always consult your doctor what to do.

:Food Friday - Oven-Baked Chicken

Before

After

This oven-baked chicken is actually meant for chicken adobo when my kids requested me to bake it instead of cooking it in the pan. Josh was the most insistent one as he picked the drumstick part of the chicken to be his piece when cooked. He offered himself as my assistant and he brings to me whatever I asked him to get from the ref.

Mom told me that I have two aspiring cook in the future, one is my eldest 12-year old Ruth and 6-year old Josh. My other kid is contented in eating as she has the biggest appetite among the three. Anyway cooking has been my parents' specialty so it's not surprising that my kids will love to cook also. In my family both men and women knows how to cook but the women takes the primary role :-)

So now here goes my adobo ala baked chicken which I added some out-of-the-blue ingredients which means not in the recipe book. I always love cooking in my original simple way. I don't want to pattern my cooking to others. I always put something that's originally me, so much for the talk, happy friday to everyone!

The True Spirit of Christmas

It’s in the air you can actually smell it! I’m talking of the coming holiday season where everyone seems to devote their time decorating and preparing gifts for everyone. For those who didn’t want to rush themselves on the last month of this year they choose to shop for gifts to their loved ones as early as last month. Here in our part of the globe Christmas season seems to start as soon as month of September comes in. They call it as the ‘ber’ season. Well that means the four months ending in ber. People are really funny sometimes; they always have something exciting to make their lives happy.

Even if we’re badly affected by the recent storm that hit the country there’s no stopping as to how we’re going to make our loved ones feel special by our gifts and christmas cards. It’s one way of showing our affection to our friends, family and relatives. Even in these times where we receive heart warming messages through email and text notes from mobile phones it’s still sweet to receive Christmas cards.

Actually people are accustomed in giving cards but the busy schedule sometimes hinders them from doing it. Good that you can now order Christmas cards online through ChristmasCardsUk.com which offers classic and personalized cards which will put a special touch on every card that we sent. I particularly liked the cards done out of recycled papers which is environment-friendly. It’s good that they have a card like that, I know many people especially those very conscious of saving our environment will appreciate the recycled cards.

Just don’t forget the other importance of this holiday is to show our loved ones our great love by giving them care and attention. And if you ask me what Christmas is all about I’ll say it’s giving your love. Like the lyrics that I personally liked in one of oldest Christmas songs which goes ‘Give love on Christmas day…No greater gift is there than love’. Since I was a child those phrases left a mark in my heart that the true spirit of Christmas is love.

Friday Fill-Ins#147

And...here we go!

Another week has passed and I feel like time is running so fast so before this day runs fast I'd like to share some of my thoughts here.

1. The crickets sing, I remember their song clearly when I was a kid in the province.
2. Dad, we'll always miss you wherever you are.
3. I want to get far away from the bustling city sometimes, I'm glad I live just after the city.
4. Weekend in Paris & England and roaming around historical/biblical places in Israel; this was a dream.
5. But as for me I will try to enroll in a cooking/baking class so I can serve delicious dishes to my family and to satisfy my hobby.
6. A happy, conservative and God-loving family is where I come from.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finish baking my chicken barbeque, tomorrow my plans include doing a general cleaning of the house and Sunday, I want to eat outside with my kids after church service!

While we’re having different kinds of weather here sometimes hot and sometimes rainy or stormy on some areas the other side of the globe is experiencing very low degree temperature. That’s why you can be wet or hot here and be super cool when you travel abroad. The rich can choose to have the climate they want as many of them have houses in different parts of the world. They would just plan their vacation and they didn’t have to bear the indefinite weather of their country. Some are just lucky enough to have landed a better working opportunity that gave them better climate country but for me I still love it here no matter what the condition and climate is.

I just mentioned the seasons and temperature because when it’s winter times it’s also the season for skiing. The sport of skiing is a very well known sport around the globe. The skis were believed to have evolved from the old generation of Ice Age where they used it for hunting together with spear and bow of course.

Anyway modern skiing is a kind of sports that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Many of them plan a vacation in North American ski resorts and hire a vacation package complete with ski and snowboard rentals in shops like Ski Butlers to enjoy a full skiing vacation with their family. Ski Butler is full service shop for ski and snowboard rentals and they’ve known for the most convenient kind of service as they have delivery service.

You Are Silly and Goofy

Bulk and Save!

Do you have a sweet tooth? Well for kids the answer can be yes as you’ll notice they’re excited every time they see candies and chocolates. I know this because I have three kids and they really love delicious confections and sweet treats. I let them eat sweets but remind them that they should balance it with other foods for health reasons. How could I deprive them of these things when I love chocolates and confections too! So I can say we have a sweet tooth, the whole family I think! We’re just lucky that every now and then we received packages containing our favorite chocolates from my SIL who lives in Trent G.B. and some others from friends who love to give delicious treats to my kids especially to Josh whose charm works for many people. My Mom’s friends used to give him delicious cookies and chocolates when they visit her and he loves it.

My friends told me that it’s better to buy bulk candy if you need big volumes of sweet treats for occasion or for gift-giving on holidays. It’s nice to give candies and chocolates on holidays because almost everyone loves it. I know my SIL buy bulk candy too when she shop for her balikbayan package because it’s cheaper and she’ll save a lot of money when she do it. I’ve been thinking of doing this also when I need for occasion giveaways and I know Sugar Stand has all the best sweet treats and delicious confections for all members of the family with its healthy snacks, bulk candy, chocolate candy bars, lollipops and many delicious items.

Bulk orders are good also for company events, fundraising programs, party, wedding and some other occasion that needs giveaways.
