I was coaching my wee nephew to give me that beautiful eyes wink. But he won’t instead his mouth was big in crying out loud for his mom. I went home yesterday to bring in some fresh vegetables from Kuya Amador’s garden and right at the gate i can now hear my nephew bawling, screaming and sounds like he is like a cow to be butchered. Anyway, i got him and tried to carry him and baby talk and play but to no avail. I twinkle twinkle my eye but did not affect him. Maybe he thinks my eyes are no longer beautiful so i need a wrinkle eye cream and he gave me that “fix your eyes” stare. Quiet. Then bawl again. Oh my babies! I hate them too noisy crying. hahaha  He was looking for his mom and i think he was also hungry and sleepy that my daughter and the grandma did not know that he’s feeling sleepy and hungry.  Well, when i left he was already quiet munching a biscuit.

The Baked Macaroni

This is one of the foods served during the Christmas Party of the General Education Department.  There was so much food that i was super full yet i managed to taste a serving of this.

Sorry for the look because i remember to take photos while everyone was already in line to serve themselves.

No more time to relax or rest so i end up feeling sick.  That was last Monday and that was the profile shout-out in my YM.  Today i logged online and it still showed the same and i smiled because  i don’t feel sick anymore.

I guess i just work and work and forgot to relax.  I have so many things to do like read and write about weight loss management, stress management, heart ailment, what food to eat for diabetic persons, facial care  and so on…Oh my i want to surrender.  One of the products that interests me is the face cream so that it will help me prevent premature wrinkling of the facial area. Though i know that am still young (not so young anymore) but if i continue to be always busy without R & R then i know i will look old very old quickly.

Health is wealth.  NYs resolution pertaining to my total health.

1.  Eat malunggay daily. (i really miss home becaused at home we ate them everyday if not at least every other day).

2.  Lessen rice intake.  (cut it to one cup per meal except on special occassions)

3.  Lessen fatty foods intake.

4.  Eat more fruits (spare a hundred pesos if not more every month).

5.  Drink milk when able.

6.  Three to 4 times work out in the gym per week.

7.  I should be moderate in salty foods, sweet foods, and fatty foods.

8.  Always think the positive side of things no matter how painful.

9.  Smily daily and always.

10.  Love more.

Am a sufferer of acne.  It only started when i turned 30 years old.  That is why my friends often gave me that sad stare wondering i got a sort of dirty face.  I have an oily facial skin type so i think that explains why they love to bother me when i am in a place where there are too much dust and too much humidity.  Good thing i went to China and their meds plus the cold weather treated my problem fine.  I had once visited an adult acne treatment center per recommendation by my boss because he was also worried about my face. The first thing that was advised and did religiously was my diet regimen. Low sugar, low salt, no oil diet for some months. I can remember i did ate a lot of fruits and vegetables that time.  In just a year time, my face became silky smooth.

So i will just say – THANKS and turn my back on you if ever you hand me some fried chicken.

I love fried chicken and everyone loves fried chicken especially the kids.  But once you get older you tend more careful on what you have to put into your mouth or else older people will die early sick.

The table was full with food yesterday but i forgot to eat even a piece of this. I did ate a lot of watermelon, yellow mangoes, and the vege salad but i forgot the pineapple. The culprit is the

Since i moved into the dormitory i can’t eat the right breakfast anymore.  I was used to eating rice with vegetables or other viand for breakfast becaust at home we can stock food.  In the dorm, we can’t stock perishable goods.  We can only stock dried goods like noodles, canned milk, and oats.  Bread can’t stand a day or two even because there are so much ants going around. So i ended up very hungry at around 10 am because i did not have breakfast.  I now discovered that while doing dormitory work in the morning, i boil water for the oats.  So instead of eating oats, i drank it. It works great.  I don’t have now the headache and weak feelings when very hungry in midmorning.

So my new year’s resolution on missing breakfast will not be violated.  I hope to travel this year to two destinations. If not two at least one.  My cousin is now planning for a vacation to Florida.  Then i mentioned her about cancun mexico . She said she will check that out because if it is affordable they might want to try. Maybe a sponsored trip by her Florida-based relatives.

I dunno how to translate “paksiw” into english but this was greatly done yesterday by my officemate.  One of the recipes and so palatable that you will tend to forget someone.  I forgot Dimple was in the room and i was not able to let her taste this.

I think she did not use vinegar in it because there was no vinegar smell.  She used calamansi instead.

At my end, health insurance is an option.  Meaning not all can afford to be insured for whatever it is – be it health, life, property, and etc.  I guess it is due to the government system.  That is why I am looking forward to the future for a better living environment in other countries.  I know that there are countries where health insurance is a must.  With prices sky rocketing and the income not increasing, this cause stress insanity for all that if they have an option they will let go of health insurance. But there is good news now for those who are impatient – they should check on this health insurance leads for it will be a big help.  I am sharing this info to a friend of a friend who is into this business.

I am going out now for a personal errand and hope to be back at lunch time to read more about this.
