To The Beach

When we had our day tour at the beach last week, I felt happy and at the same time sad. Happy because I am spending a relaxing day with my hubby and sad that I can’t wear any swim wear to spend this day. Ugh, I’d be an unsightly person had I done that.

BBC

I remember a running joke a SIL made of herself, “whale watching”. That could be me alright and I’m not laughing at the joke anymore.

Been on the look out for something that will make me lose some of those unsightly pounds. A friend suggested I try herbal supplements while another one said to try myoripped and still another said I better make serious commitment to run more and eat less.

I know these suggestions are good but everything else is up to me.

Moringa Nutrients

Yes, the “lowly” green vegetable called “Moringa” or Malunggay in Philippine vernacular is one of the most nutritious vegetable there is.

Not only does moringa increase breast milk production, it is also a rich source of nutrients.

Moringa can also be used as a detoxifying agent as well as extender to many dishes.

I’ve read that people in Africa has been planting moringa trees to include in the diet to counter malnutrition. And yes, we’d be having more of moringa in our viands 🙂

Google Driverless Car

Google’s driverless car has gotten a lot of attention the world over. I for one would like to see it, with James Bond in my mind, wheee!

Who wouldn’t get excited to see this? Ok, some people are wondering out loud if this car is “legal” enough to drive (Q: who’s driving, it IS driverless) on the road or if it even merit a car insurance quote.

Would flying cars be next like the ones in The Jetsons?

Lost in a Hardware Store

I could get “lost” in a hardware store just as others could get “lost” in a clothes store.

I don’t know why but I enjoy looking at bathroom fixtures, different lamps, gardening thingamajigs, even casters, nuts and bolts, curtains and paints. No, I am not an interior decorator in hiding considering the home needs a lot of basic fixes like floor time (i.e. sweeping, mopping and more sweeping and mopping) and dusting the cabinets here and there.

Speaking of which, hardware store finds, I still haven’t written about my ever-reliable Rubbermaid home cleaning tools like the comfort grip tile and grout brush and duster (which I can’t find in the official site).

Now if only these would start cleaning by themselves… lol.

Natural Light

Mint leaves in this entry.

This house has been designed to receive optimum natural light to conserve on electricity.

I laud green designs like these and I hope a lot of developers will follow suit.

The community of these houses can be found where the koi feeding happened.
