Open Your Mouth and Say “Ahhhh…”

My children need to visit a dentist soon. Some of their teeth need tending. We have been dentist shopping too for the last five years and have been to three dentists. Of course I wish to have a regular dentist to go to, whether he is a Plano Dentist or someone who is geographically closer to home.

I believe that dentists play a big role in teaching about oral hygiene and taking care of the teeth. For children, it is not easy to open their mouth and say “ahhh…” to strangers wearing masks and holding things for poking the mouth.

There should be a trust, a bonding that should develop first before they sit on that big dental chair 🙂

Sushi

Slice it up for Lasang Pinoy Sundays.

Japanese food has made it’s way to the Filipino hearts and one of the best loved food would be sushi.

My eldest daughter loves sushi and can finish more than ten pieces of this kind in one sitting 😀 She also loves to eat sashimi and asks me to get her one of those small chunks of sashimi sold frozen and vacuum packed at the supermarket.

Smokey Kettle Maple Syrup

This small bottle of Smokey Kettle Maple Syrup was given by a good friend MC around two or so years ago. The photo was taken last year or so ago.I remember when we were still going to grad school, we’d go home at night (sometimes classes end a little after 8pm) with her younger sister CC who graduated with honors in her course.

Both women are admirable, MC being a teacher like me and CC who stopped being a corporate accountant to become a business woman. She went through medical coding training courses to become a transcriptionist later on. I am not sure if she is still in this kind of business.

Goodbye, Summer?

I know I am one of the many who complains about the hot and humid weather but is it goodbye summer already?

It was a good thing that last Sunday, even if I was having a sneezing fit and while the world was getting ready to watch the Pacquiao-Hatton fight in LV which had the Pacman KO Hatton <- (must watch) during 2nd round, my hubby and I decided to go where I can take photos of sunflowers (my favorite flowers!) and at the same time, spend a little time doing some walking. He brought a bike and went biking while I walked.

So there you go, a close-up sunflower photo, in memory of a very short summer.

Update: We are supposed to be in the middle of summer but we just had Chan-hom, a category 3 hurricane, ravaging the northern part of the country last night.Please pray for those who lost their homes and their loved ones.
