I Am Not Ready for Summer

I heard giggling girls at the mall today talking about crash diets that work.

Just exactly what I need to remind me that summer is HERE and I haven’t done a thing to at least minimize, ok then burn, these unsightly mid-body bulges. Ugh.

Eat plenty of raw leafy vegetables? Check.

Use of olive oil in cooking? Check.

More healthy eating? Check.

More fruits in the diet? Check.

Staying on schedule re morning rounds? Check. For not doing these religiously in reality but mental running definitely a yes. Booo!!!

No soda or sugared drinks? Check for yes 🙁

Definitely not ready for summer yet.

Oh well, I may not be able to wear clothes that are the current fad, my only wish is that I be healthy and free from any illnesses.

Bitter, hahaha.

Come to think of it, without no one to mind the house, we can’t even go on a vacation, not even spend oversight at my parents’ home. It has been years ago since we had a real vacation away from home.

Staycation is not really a case to be sad about, we love to stay at home and chill but being in an entirely different place and exploring new surroundings can do a lot for bored children.

Fish Fillet and Mushrooms in Oriental Sauce

We had this for dinner the other night: Fish Fillet and Mushrooms in Oriental Sauce which I saw Chef Golda cook during the February 27, 2010 Light Meal Recipes with Dona Elena Cuisinera Club.

The kids loved it, and the husband did too. They were raving about how good the food smelled, “like those served in Chinese restaurants”. I am happy of course that they were able to appreciate once again what I prepared for them.

Here was what I cooked using cream dory fillet from SM Hypermarket Centris.

Below is the recipe: Continue Reading »

Who Would I Vote For?

The circus campaign period has started.

The economy is alive and well with a lot of big money circulating from the proceeds of printed materials like posters and promotional calenders, tarpaulin ads, notebooks with candidate on the cover, fans to ward off the summer heat and a host of other ways and means to promote one’s self get and get elected.

Who would I vote for? I do not know yet since I am weighing the priorities of the candidates. One thing is for sure, I would vote for the one who recognizes the problem about population control.

Who would you vote for?

Stacking Cups

Stacking cups, only these are not stacked on top of one another, my entry for Photo Hunt spiral.

I was cleaning the closets and preparing the baby toys  my children played with when they were younger when I decided to take photos of the toys, including this set of stacking cups.

These were given to my brother’s young daughter.

Sigh, they don’t need these toys anymore, how time flies.
