:PH#201 : Cuddly Stuffed Toys

Click images for a larger view

These are cuddly stuffed toys in SM North Edsa's Quantum arcade where my kids love to play while waiting for their Dad to log out from work on some occasions that we're there. These toys were so hard to get but some of hubby's officemate come to know the technique and proper timing to pick these toys. So far we have almost near a dozen of these kinds and my kids love them all!

A Good Investment

I’ve resigned from my job middle of last year because of my family’s immediate need for my time and attention. When I received a small amount of separation money from my sixteen years of service to the company I thought of good business plans or some form of investment to add to my freelance writing job. Of course I wouldn’t want my hard earned separation money to be put to waste if I invest to good that depreciates value.

It’s easy to invest but it needs a careful planning and study of the flow of stocks and economy. Because my work is always online I came to browse US Gold Bureau which offers a tangible asset of investments which are gold, silver and platinum. These precious metals can be relied upon to increase its value over the years so I guess it’s time to buy gold bullion now because it’s the perfect investment in time for the dwindling economy we have these days.

:FF/FTP : Kilawing Bangus with Salted Eggs

I'd like to share my Kilawing Bangus with Salted Eggs (my version of Kinilaw na Bangus which I have featured here in Food Friday two weeks ago). I learned this from my church mate and as usual I've added up something to create my own version. If you want to do it on your own you can follow my ingredients and steps in doing. My procedure and ingredients are the same except for few revisions lol! it's actually additions.....:-)

To have this (1) you need milkfish fillet cut into cubes and soaked in vinegar to cook the meat, you don't need to put milkfish on fire just set aside. Then (2) mix small cuts of tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, dash of pepper, pinch of sat, small chili pepper (optional) and MSG (optional). After the milkfish turned pale from soaking in vinegar it's considered as cooked already and you can mix it with the spices' mixture done in step #2. (3) Pour vinegar to the final mixture, add the salted eggs and taste it for additional spices or salt. It's now ready for your sumptous meal!

See it's very easy to prepare and it's so good I've done it myself in my own kitchen.

Mom’s Concerns

I’ll be dropping by my daughters’ school later in the afternoon to watch the crowning of Ms. San Juan, a fundraising campaign of the school for their big project in school. I was quite impressed with the one who thought about this contest as you only have to donate one peso coin to your chosen candidate. It’s the minimum donation or contribution and it could be higher than that. There’s no maximum amount as to how many you want to give the candidate and the PTA officers added up a talent portion to make the contest not just a money contest.

Anyway I’ll just peek at the contest later because I was invited by some of the officers there and my kids wanted to watch the coronation also. They were not allowed by us to stay in school after 6pm and I have to be there for them. I would be seeing some of my Mommy friends there and as always we’ll talk about kids, their grades, the candidate for honors on March and some other personal Mom concerns about cooking, dieting, weight loss products, beauty tips, work, business and many more. If you see us in group you’ll be amazed at how we can laugh our worries and problems away. Anyway it’s how you carry it that matters!

Stamina in Workout Exercises

I passed by a gym workout near to where I have some errands on payment. I’m just surprised at some of the people there who spend several hours of workout exercises without feeling weak. I would also want to spend some time there even on the simple workout machines there but I really don’t have the time. Well I know the benefits of gym exercises because I have witnessed how my office friend’s fat turned to good muscles when she enrolled for six months. She’s on the brink of giving up because she’s too fat to be a bridesmaid and the wedding was just a few months away.

I have monitored her change in eating habits which was demanded by her trainor. She lost her excess pounds in time for the wedding and her body became firm and fit. She told us that some people in the gym always have the stamina to last longer than the required time. I wonder if they’re taking No-Xplode drink mix and if there are no xplode side effects on them. Well I wouldn’t have the chance to know it because my friend is not there anymore.

Our Time in This World

I was sad when I learned that my cousin’s hubby has already died. I was informed last year that he was found suffering with colon cancer and I was surprised because he seems to be a very healthy guy. He has no vices, he eats well and good, he’s not overworked and he’s very careful with his way of life. Even my cousin was shocked with the doctor’s finding but I guess we can’t always determine by mere pure sight if the person is sick. They have two kids and one of them is my godson, they’ve raised their kids with good breeding and education on their food business. They’ve worked hand in hand and they’re inseparables which made the parting difficult for my cousin. It was too soon for her and she’s always teary eyed when she remembers her husband. She told me that she never had a chance to learn the benefits of colon cleansing I’ve been telling them about because he died sooner than their expected time. I told her we all have our own time and mission in this world and I know it’s his time to leave the world and his sickness was just a mere medium to have a reason for his death.

Tons of Work Helps Me Lose Weight

We’re experiencing super hot afternoons and I’ve advised the oldies here not to go out frequently after 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon because the effect could be hazard to their health. Many senior citizens in our place suddenly experienced strong headache and high blood pressure. I’m just relieved that I’m on the low blood pressure side as I’m the one who’s always on the go and I can’t afford it if I’ll be experiencing ill feeling. I have plenty of offline duties with my kids’ school activities and household chores. To add to these tasks I have tons of online tasks to finish. I’m wondering if I still have to look for the best weight loss product now that my activities seems to surpass my exercise sweating lol! Now I can see these activities as a big advantage on my weight loss don’t you think?

Discipline in Eating Habits

I’ve done with marketing for our foods and I’ve bought plenty of fruits for my healthy diet. I don’t skip meals but I always eat two to three kinds of fruits during lunch and dinner. It makes me feel satisfied and full so I don’t have to take more rice and other foods. I’m doing this healthy meal plan for my health because nowadays sickness are everywhere and one way to combat sickness is to maintain a good diet meal plan which consist mostly of fruits and vegetables. Hope I’ll be able to maintain this meal plan so I don’t have to use the fat burner for women pills my friend is recommending me. I just need a real discipline and patience.

Workout Exercise

I started my planned return to exercise this week. Yesterday I’ve done some walking going to my daughters’ school and returning to our house. The walk took me around 20 minutes and it has done some good feelings on my body. I was surprised that even if I stopped my walking routine everyday for about two years now I can still walk a 2-km distance with none of my feet, stomach and heart aching. See? It’s really good for the heart and I can possibly shed some pounds if I do it everyday. I wished I have plenty of time to spare so I can have some workout too. Not the heavy workout exercises that you think of but just a daily exercise of about 30 minutes at elliptical will do. I like walking so this equipment will surely meet my workout exercise needs. How about you?
