Exercise = Sacrifice

I was just planning to have a short walk out of our place for an exercise just to get out of the routine. But oh my! I walked a good distance of more than 6kms this morning. House - shops - house. I got a loaf of bread and two books and visited the loo twice. Right now, they are still worth the aching calves and bum. Ewan ko lang bukas pag-gising ...

Silly, Silly, Silly Me!

I should be ashamed of myself for posting this, but I just ought to share this "stupidity" in me. Some may have been through the same experience and will laugh at themselves after reading this or I might be of help to somebody else.Anyway, we bought an extra thick raisin toast bread inlieu of the extra soft bun (with raisins) that I like. Because we went to the shop late, the latter wasn't available...

I Was Screwed

Have you been screwed up by a person you called friend? I was!I knew this person in an un-conventional way, through chatting in the internet, and we clicked in an instant. We were oceans apart but our friendship flourished by exchanging emails, text messages and phone calls. I met her for the first time when she flew to Manila to send off her husband, then fiancee. The next meeting was quite brief...

Introducing...

And because I love shoes, shoes and shoes.. I created another blog for my shoe-mania. It features the photos of the shoes that I like, not necessarily that I will buy them. Hehehe!I reckon that I need to create a channel where I can pour out my passion, hence, my blog (drum-roll please) ... Beautiful Shoes.Check out my sty...

Celiac and Gluten

My BIL has celiac disease. He can eat as much as he wants without worry of stuffing all those calories and fats in his belly. But his diet doesn’t mean he can have anything he wants rather, he can eat bigger portions of food that he can only have. He’s actually subsisting on rigid and boring diet. Celiac is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat, rye and barley. The only...

Do You know Your Shoes

I am a shoes person and I am sure most women are. My Husband call me the next Imelda Marcos. But my knowledge about shoe kinds is just very limited to what are commonly known as closed-shoes and sandals/clogs. Now, no more! Thanks to BeautyDen article about shoes.Women certainly love their shoes. Are you like Carrie Bradshaw, the sassy fashionista character played by Sarah Jessica Parker in the HBO...

The Power of the Heart

How powerful is the human heart? What happened to the recipient after the heart transplant? Will he/she feels the life of the donor or his/her own old life alone?These questions have been bugging me since I read the book a looonnnggg time ago, Home Again by Kristin Hannah. Here is an excerpt:Hollywood bad boy, Angel De Marco has everything - talent, looks and fame. Then tragedy strikes, and he winds...

Bread and Making Sandwiches

Before I came in the land of kangaroo, outback and right-hand-drivers driving on the opposite side of the road, I am not really into eating bread nor do I am adept at making sandwiches. Sure I ate bread before but it was basically a pandesal or two in the morning and not wh0le meal or wheat bread. While if I made sandwiches, the spread would always be from take-home-bottle-from-the-supermarket or...

Lotion Shopping, New Skin

Why is it so hard to shop for lotion apt for my skin during cold days? Maybe because I am just buying the ordinary-supermarket brand? I dont really mind if it is the most cheapos one as long as it doesnt leave my skin dry, frequent application is not a must, with mild and pleasing scent with the approval of my uber sensitive nostrils and not sticky - the latter two are really the key factors.I was...

Why I Love Washing Whites

I have a love-hate relationship with laundry eversince I got the masters degree in Homemaker... :D particularly with whites. I love hanging the clothes on the line. Yup, we do the convential and old way of drying and airing clothes.. hanging them on a rotary clothes line. We do get an average 274 sunny days in a year, so a dryer is not a necessity. Besides, our washer has only 2 rinse cycles that...

Herod the Great

Im quite fascinated and interested in history, especially those that way back the time of Christ. Adding some stuff to your brain apart from what was fed by the bible makes you more curious and want to dig deeper.Hubby was complaining last Good Friday that there were no religious/spiritual program on in telly. [in my mind, i reckon, this is how aussies commemorate holy week]. Well, it was already...
