A Child's Innocence

My niece is now limited to 1,000 ml fluid intake. That includes water, juice, milk, fruit extracts and the like. The pediatrician said that the kidney has to heal and it cannot be overworked. That is quite alarming. She is also not allowed to play for one week. This is a precautionary measure so that her blood pressure will not shoot up. She candidly asked her doctor if she is also excused from washing the dishes. Her doctor said so in affirmative. Kids can be so naive about life’s reality. She does not have the slightest idea that she might have a life threatening condition.

She is now out of the hospital after four days. I pray that she will continue to improve and be completely well again.

Good food!

My friend’s uncle owns a Chinese restaurant. Sometimes we order there our lunch especially during weekends when our canteen is not available. I love their seafood recipes! Besides, seafood is good for the health. Compared to meat and chicken, seafood has less fat. The oil that you will get from some of it can even be healthy. Since my shift is 1200-2100H today, it is past lunch, thus I was not able to place my order. The ones who are on earlier shifts were already eating when arrived. Wow, fish tofu! This dish is one of my favorites. I am becoming hungry again. To think that I just had my meal at 11AM! Ha, ha, ha! I am a hearty eater that is why, I should choose carefully what to put inside my stomach or else, I will be really big! Anyways, if I cannot eat the seafood that I want today, I will just ask my husband to prepare for me. Yes, he is the one who does the cook off! Maybe, I will buy some shrimps and crabs tomorrow for a Family Day treat! I have seen a good recipe at www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com.It is actually the winner of the competition. It is a complete meal already because it has bacon, okra, shrimp, spices and other vegetables. Most of all, this dish made by Chef John Currence of Mississippi has rice! I cannot live without eating rice!It is called Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice.

There are other recipes to find on this site. Good news, you could vote for the recipe that you think is the best. Yes, there are prizes available like that trip package to New Orleans.

You will find good food and you have a chance to win, so what are you waiting for? Check it out, now!

Meek and Mild?

We are three girls in the family. Some people say that we are to each her own beauty. My youngest sister has fair skin and tall at 5’7”. She was actually a beauty queen in our town. Our eldest is the shortest at 5’2” but she has a different charm because of her friendliness. She always wears that big smile. Me? I am the meek and mild type. They say that I am blessed with an angelic face. People say that they melt with my gaze. Oh, well, my husband is the one who always tells that to me. He said that I have that flirtatious smile as if working to magnetize everyone. The way I move my long hair also had a meaning for him. I always would like to achieve a Victory Hair. Women can always use their hair whether if we wear it up or down to get a guy, don’t we? Hey, why don’t you check out the contest by Extreme Style by VO5 to know more about this Victory Hair thing. You will also learn more tricks to keep your man or woman! Go and emerge as the winner of the Ultimate Flirting Championship.

Going back to me, I am also a very caring person and even without words, my friends and loved ones could feel it. I am a woman of few words that is why. I also want to keep my mystery at times. I might sympathize with you by hugging you or giving you a pat on your back. I am also a shoulder to cry on. Do I have that look in the picture? I think I am saying like, I am the boss here in that arms on my waist pose!

Thank you, Mom and Dad

Our son said thank you to me and his Daddy for attending his first curricular activity in school. It is Language Week (Linggo ng Wika) and the program was held this morning. Our son is really growing up. I hope that we could really hone him to become a good person and a member of the community. They say that it always depends on how the parents bring up their kids. A solid foundation is necessary. Before, I thought it will be easy. I tell you. What you read in the books is very different when you are there already.

Are You Like Your Mom?

This blog thing caught my interest. There are some traits that we did inherit from our parents beside the physical features. I would like to find out how I am similar to my mother. Believe me, I dread not to be... Lol!

You Are Somewhat Like Your Mom

Believe it or not, you and your mom are pretty darn similar. It may not seem like it at times, but you and your mom have a lot of common ground. Over time, you'll probably get closer ... especially if you emphasize the things you like about each other.

Believing in yourself

Do you sometimes tell yourself, you did well! Yes, who will love you first but you! That is why there is the song, The Greatest Love of All, right? I just thought of it out of the blue. Well, I think I have written something nice, he,he,he. Look at the post below!

Anyways, my friend inculcated into my mind that I should be proud of the things I do. In that way, others will follow. I should not be shy of my accomplishments but instead let others know about it when asked, ha! I might annoy them if I just mumble about things without being asked. Before, this friend of ours is misunderstood for that seeing her as aggressive and yes, PROUD or not humble at all. Then again, that is her way to boost her self-confidence so who could judge her for it, right?

Me, I needed some more inspiration to keep me going. There are times that I really feel down and feel that nothing is going right.
