Planning for Cleansing Diet

I’ve started again my new plan of healthy diet and I’m readying myself for my cleansing diet in the next few weeks. I’m wise enough not to start immediately on my plan as I will be unprepared for it if I do it now. I must start taking my food in halves then limit it a quarter before taking my one week fruit cleansing diet. I’ve read some allireviews.com and I’m decided to take my diet naturally as it’s safer and healthier. I really want my colon to be cleansed and the right way is to go on cleansing diet. It will be a week of eating fiber-rich fruits only. For now I’m consulting MIL because she’s done it several times and I’ve noted the kinds of fruits I should be taking and some of them are apple, pineapple, citrus, pears and some veggies like cucumber and carrots. Hope I can start as soon as possible so I will be healthier!

:FF/FTP : Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is one of the potluck foods in our 50th alumni and I haven't posted it because I'm not sure of the name of this food. It was ordered from Wow-Lu restaurant and from what I've tasted from it's made of potatoes and chicken shreds. It's a finger food and so yummy good that it's gone in several minutes.

Anyway my friend used to work as part-time party coordinator in some of the restaurant's birthday and wedding caterings and she supplied me with a name for this one. It's a chicken cordon bleu according to her. Well I was assuming that it's a potato something name but as my friend Jannet told me it's a chicken cordon bleu. Thanks friend for the name and I hope it's right lol!

Now I was thinking of ordering it for Mom's birthday so I can confirm it's name. I can't contact my classmate who ordered it so is there anyone here who can confirm me?

My Kids' Dreams and Inclination

I had a lazy conversation with my kids after our early dinner and they’re asking me what course I think is good for them. I told them to study the course that they want, follow their heart and inclination. Ruth wanted to follow my footsteps and she want to take Computer Engineering while my other girl Gen wants to take Computer management. My little boy who always draw beautiful houses on his paper wanted to be an architect someday. I just told them to study hard and don’t ever think of other things than their dream of getting a degree.

With regards to where they will study I told them that many schools have their own expertise. There are schools that specializes in business, others in technology, some in medicine and there is Cosmetology school in Arkansas which is for those who specializes in beauty. There are hundreds of other schools who caters to varying specialization and it’s up to students what career they should be entering.

Suffering from Back and Joint Pains

For days now I’m having a problem with my back and it’s the same back pain that I suffered when I was working in a consultancy company. We were always beating the deadline and as such we always worked the night away spending nights in front of PC working endlessly just to finish bidding documents. Now due to tons of offline and online tasks I suffered again and I know it’s due to over fatigue and some problem in my joints because lately I felt some pain my knees. Well my Mom is always complaining of her joints and I’m actually looking for the best joint supplements that would remedy her joint problem and relieve her of pains.

There are many products that we tried but we’re still searching for natural ingredients and safe medicine. I was always careful with giving medicines for my Mom and if I’m in doubt of the contents and effects I will not have her take it. Sometimes to play safe we resort to liniments just to relieve her of muscle and joint pains. Now I’m thinking if I’ve inherited my back and joint pains from my Mom. I hope not.

God Keep Us Safe!

I was chatting with a blogger friend when I heard some commotion going on outside our house. I checked on the road outside and the big smoke several meters away frightened me. I surmised that it’s on the next barangay from us and I was worried because my friend Annie lives there. The memory of the last fire that happened here in our place is still fresh on my mind and the victims of the fire were still reconstructing their house and then another fire! What a day!

As what I’ve done on the last fire that hit our community I didn’t panicked but prayed to God that this disaster would pass us shortly without harming anyone. And it did! God is good all the time! After several minutes only the fuming black giant smoke that we see from our house was gone. When I checked on the clock it didn’t reached an hour. Praise God!

Garden Ponds

I love seeing different kinds of ponds whether it’s a garden pond, fish pond or waterfall pond only. But we don’t have one in our house because it needs full care and maintenance. I would also need garden pond filter if I decide to have one in our garden. For now I will be contented with our current garden and will plan on constructing a garden pond with beautiful flowers when I have the time to keep it in perfect condition. Ponds are refreshing to look at.

Effects of Sun’s Heat on Me

I stayed quite awhile after midnight to do invoice for the company I’ve worked for. I didn’t feel good yesterday after my visit to my former office because the sun’s heat caught me bad. I have a slight fever in the night and it was before midnight when I had the strength to open my PC to check my mails and do the invoice. I know that this overtime will give me dark circles in my eyes and I was surprised that my eyes are good when I wake up. I thought I will need under eye cream after two successive overnight blogging because my eyes easily develops circles under it when I work after midnight.

Anyway I had a deep peaceful sleep for more than four hours and it’s enough to give me strength so I think that must be the reason why my eyes were not affected. I still have some mild back pain but I managed to rub down few drops of chili liniment to give me deep heating stimulation. I’m just praying that I’ll be well enough now to work on my tasks.

I was intrigued by the shape of this grass when I took the shot and it was some seconds before I surmised that it's indeed a spider-shaped grass specially cut and shaped to look like a spider. I find these Green spider grass unique and quite beautiful in its own way. As my little boy loves super heroes specially Spiderman he was excited to see this shot. This shot was taken in my little boy's educational tour in Bio Research in Parañaque.

Importance of Having Clean Indoor Air

Clean environment is very essential in our daily living because it defines the health being of the community living in the environment. Most likely we can’t keep the cleanliness of our environment because of air pollution and wrong trash disposal system. Well the air can be polluted in many ways like the emission coming from the cars which I can say most public vehicles violates the most as I saw in many commuter’s vehicles. The government’s emission test does not guarantee that these vehicles maintain their clean smoke as they only maintain it when it’s time for registration and emission test.

It’s also the same with our indoor environment as allergens such as dust mites and pollens become trapped in your home surface and it will cause the growth of bacteria. With the growth of harmful bacteria the health of your family is at stake and you need to have air purifier to clean the indoor air in your house. But we need to be aware what kind of home air purifier we will use as the ionic type air purifier emits ozone which is a very harmful gas that would damage the sensitive organs in our body like our lung tissues.

I learned that HEPA type air purifier is a better choice as it has higher filter capabilities thus it’s more efficient in filtering allergens and harmful particles. We should really be very careful with choosing the things that we use in our house because it’s where our family lives and stay most of the times. Clean air means healthy living.

Wishes Granted!

I’m wishing for drizzles yesterday and this morning my wish was granted our backyard soil was wet and all plants were watered. It’s not the first time I wished for that and happened the next day! I remember the last time that I was affected by the afternoon news that talked about El Niño and I wrote it in my blog. Then I wished for some rain and the next day after that it rained. Well I count such little things as blessings from God.

It makes me happy to know and feel that my little wishes are being heard by Him. Of course I’ve known for a long time that He’s good to me all the time because He’s shown many miracles in my life and two of those are my daughter’s lump in the head and my Mom’s blindness. These two were cured miraculously without the help of medicine and I was glad for His merciful grace. To Him Be the Glory.
