The nights are colder now and rarely do I hear the complaint “it’s hot” from people.The rains, torrential and like cats and dogs most of the time, just when the children are on their way home from school, are at times too much to handle.
To those living in higher altitude, I guess it is time to bring out those heated mattress pads. For us who are in the lowlands, we minimize the use of electrical appliances that make the rooms cool since there is a lot of cool air circulating around.
Every afternoon, strong rains beat down on us. A lot of people are getting sick because from morning till mid-afternoon the sun is shining so brightly but the rains come down from mid-afternoon till evening.
How can one prepare for the rainy days to avoid getting sick?
- Take plenty of vit c love, be these in tablet form or from fresh sources.
- Get enough sleep and eat the right kind of food.
- Bring your umbrella and/or raincoat and/or rain gear every time you step out of your house.
- Rest if you fell unwell.
- Consult a doctor for persistent cough, flu, fever and/or runny nose.

It has been awhile, no, it has been a long time since we last went to our family biking/walking/running bonding time.
The thule rack is dusty and so are the bikes. The kids still can’t ride without training wheels and that is something not to be proud of because they are not that young anymore.
I always tell the family, next Sunday we will go do these things again but sleep, that elusive sleep wins over more than anything including breakfast and the need to be fit.
I always tell myself, tomorrow, I will start my early morning walking routine but then either the online lure is more powerful or the bed is pulling me back to its soft comfort.
On Sunday, we will do something different and I am hoping even with the lack of preparation, my legs are up to the task even if I still feel pain from walking and hiking for two days with my school children.

So many drinks to choose from! What do you think you will buy to open and quench your thirst?
I’d get an ice-cold can of soda anytime but I am trying very hard to stop drinking these to avoid more weight gain. I am usually out when I see these things and with the scorching weather, I’d want to have headache relief from the heat, I’d probably settle for a bottle of water or Gatorade.
I sure hope these two are the most logical choices.

Sometimes I tease my students whenever they have a zit or two on their face.
One time though, I was the one who got teased by a student who said I need adult acne treatments (yes, she insisted I need several, hmph) for a big one on my chin. Ugh! When these pop out, that certain time of the month is definitely a few days away or much nearer.
So much for lecturing about “Do unto others what you would others do unto you”

Vegetable salads are one of my favorite food. Below is a bowl of vegetable salad I prepared: cheese cubes, Romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, tomato and carrot slices.
It just occurred to me and I just checked, I already featured this photo in this blog post for my 2010 Project 365 (which is not updated by the way for almost a month!)

I have been getting eye tics lately. I don’t know if it’s because I have been overworking with the writing tasks I need to finish. These tasks do not just require writing because I need to watch something too for the topics I write about.
I used to think about getting under eye cream for dark circles but that seemed trivial compared to the eye tics I have been experiencing.
I think I need to boost the immune system more by taking in vitamin B complex. I also need to organize my time better so that I give ample time to what I need to accomplish and still have time to rest.
