Vegetables at our Backyard

Everything seems getting expensive; even leafy vegetables. Imagine a bundle of alugbati cost Php 10.00 which only cost 5.00 last month! Whoa! That’s 100 percent increased.

Because of that my mother decided to have a plot of different vegetables at our backyard: Alugbati, saluyot, sitaw, kalabasa, ampalaya, patani, sangig, to name a few. All mixed in one corner. Because of that, it looks like beans are producing ampalaya and the other way around. LOL….

I can’t imagine when the kalabasa plant will bear fruits. Kalabasa in an ampalaya plant? LOL... Anyway, mama is only after of the young leaves…

My other niece, Venus, has it’s own version of her birthday cake for me.

This one reminds me of “Meteor Garden”. Remember the gift of Sanchai to Dao Ming Soo? ….

Actually, I just want to celebrate the day by attending mass with my family and spend the rest of the day like my usual Sunday. But mama insisted to have a little party since we have bakasyonistas, my nieces and nephews.

So here’s the cake from my parents…..

The Terrace: A Special Place in Our House

Beside my room is a terrace. It’s a small one, around 40 square ft. in area. It’s especially made as our prayer corner and sort of reflection area. My mother spends her morning ritual there doing Shibashi. It’s a very relaxing place, especially hearing the chirping of the birds and the rustles of the leaves plus the cool air that touches your skin.

We are planning to beautify it by putting indoor plants. I suggested that we’ll install a water fountain. I know the sounds of the water will even make the place more soothing. My mother was thrilled with my idea.

Currently, there are already indoor plants and drift woods. But it still needs improvement. Perhaps, we can rearrange the plants this Holy Week.

Oh! No! My Sister Gained Weight!!!!

My sister gained weight after a long week of attending graduation ceremonies in their district. As a school head, they hop from one school to other school in order to attend the graduation ceremony as support to other school heads in their district. Of course what can you expect, with such occasion, it also means festivity of foods.

I told her about the flab that starting to show on her body. And she was even surprised and starts to worry. She plans to go back to her old regimen – eating only cereals for her dinner. If she’s really serious with slimming, I guess she’ll need to exert extra effort: aside from diet, she needs to exercise and perhaps try some hcg diet drops.
