The shift of career choices among Filipino college students depends upon the world economic growth, as I have personally observed. This may not be true but then again, this is my personal opinion.
More two decades ago, the health care career particularly those of nurses were amongst those who were wanted overseas. Earlier than that time, engineers and those who work in the construction and building were also needed elsewhere in the world particularly in the Middle East.
During the 80s, the shift to a different medical and health care option was physical and occupational therapy courses. This was also the decade then those who took the plunge in computer technology or computer science paved the way for IT experts and programmers who were needed overseas. It was also during this time when and until now, that teachers were being needed overseas.

Egg sandwich has got to be one of my favorite sandwich fillings, whether prepared with a little bit of mayo, pickles and cheese or cooked as scrambled egg where greens and tomatoes are added in the ensemble, yes, I have simple tastes 🙂
I love to prepare this as a sandwich filling (more than I love to buy these egg sandwiches already made) because not only is the spread a tummy filler, it is also nutritious.
I used a French Baker raisin bonnet in this sandwich.
Just go to another place away from people if you feel that you can not hold it in for the after-smell is not good, hahaha!

Summer is supposed to be the time when one should look good enough to fit into a swimsuit 😀
But with ice cream temptations and other cold, yummy and sweet concoctions, one would surely need the best appetite suppressants to be able to resist the urge to grab one of these or maybe two 🙁
So, how do you stay clear of these sugar-laden sweet and cold treats?
- Drinks lots of water
- Have fresh fruits instead
- Have drinks as natural as can be like smoothies but be sure to cut down on the sugar since the fruits are naturally sweet already
- Don’t go to the malls where you are most like tempted to buy yourself a cone or a special

I know this is a Lasang Pinoy Sundays meme and my title is French Toast 😉 The LaPiS theme for this week is MELTed bliss
This is one of the children’s favorite breakfast and snack fare: French Toast
Nothing fancy, I just mixed sweet milk (condensed) with egg, put a dash of cinnamon powder for the dip (is it called dip?)
Then I put sliced cheese on the lower half of a bread from a loaf, folded it and dipped in the egg mixture
I then cooked this with a little melted butter turning over the bread once one side is cooked and the bread is ready to be served 🙂 The melted cheese inside is just plain bliss 🙂
The kids have this with cold chocolate milk or just plain milk, yummy!

HANDS is the theme for this week’s Photo Hunt and here I wrote here that we have a hand in educating our two younger children.
I thought about featuring this photo of my youngest daughter’s hand holding a wooden toy with five pecking hens which looks like a handmade toy.
I thought the concept of this toy is originally Philippine-related but when I Googled the term, I found out the toy is of Scandinavian origin!
Surprise, surprise!
Below is the toy in a close-up photo:

It is summer in this part of the world.
Summer means the children are not in school so parents should think of ways to keep the children entertained, occupied and challenged.
One of the games children can play with is the Twister Game. Below is a Twister game being played with my son as one of the players.
This game not only tests their ability to listen and follow instructions but it also tests their flexibility and resistance. It also is a good way to let them think creatively on how they would make themselves more comfortable without breaking their hold on the colored circles 🙂
