When we went home to the province last weekend to visit the wake of our granduncle, I was surprised to see a lot of babies and toddlers in the family. So, aside from my brother’s baby girl, my cousin bore two more girls from when I last saw her second child.
I don’t even want to think about how many nephews and nieces I have on my mother’s side of the family. My mom sent me an sms during Christmas that there are so many kids during their annual Christmas reunion.
I joked that they should send out birth announcements to us so we know the head count of the offspring, LOL.
I made a little compilation of the young addition to the family that I have pictures of. I know there are missing kids here so to that I say, “sorry po, eto lang meron ako” 😀

The kids love to watch DVD movies. Hubby and I are on the lookout for a new unit since ours seem to be on the brink of extinction due to abuse, misuse and old age.
Oh, did I mention that the remote control’s buttons do not correspond to the function it is supposed to do?
Bluray dvd players would be a good thing to get to replace said unit. Hubby wants a player with a DIV-X format for the encoded AVI files of movies and TV series.
I am sure our Kuya will be the happiest for there would be no need to call him when we need to pause the player or choose a chapter 😀

Have you watched the movie “August Rush”?
I did. I cried. I love the movie. I love the music.
August Rush said: “The music is all around you, all you have to do is listen.”
He also said: “But I believe in music… The way that some people believe in fairy tales.”
Wizard said: “You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.”
Click here to see what the movie August Rush is all about.
Classical music, my other entry.

Dona Elena Cuisinera Club is a virtual hub where mothers, health practitioners and foodies get together virtually to share recipes that will promote healthy eating.
Not only do these members meet in the virtual world, they get to meet each other too, through monthly cooking lessons.
Can healthy and nutritious food go hand in hand? Yes!
How can this be?
Through the use of olive oil in preparing healthy, nutritious and of course, yummy food.
What are the benefits of olive oil?
- It is rich in monounsaturated fat with anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive properties.
- It can lower cholesterol level and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease AS LONG AS healthy and active lifestyle is also being practiced.
- Olive oil is rich in polyphenols which is a potent antioxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals in the body.
Go ahead, throw away those fat-laden and/or salty junk food and start learning to cook healthy and nutritious food.
You won’t need to read a lot about chemical-based weight loss supplements, herbal whatnot, alli and why starving yourself is bad (LOL) to be able to live a healthy lifestyle 🙂
The choice is yours to make, here is to healthy living!
