Kicking the Habit

It has been almost six years ago when my father got severely sick and we thought he would be succumb to the illness that befell him.

One of the things he had to forgo to become better was his cigarette smoking habit and that includes cigar auctions even if this is for business purposes. He doesn’t want to be tempted 😀

He had to take a lot of supplements, including iron. He also had to sleep better. There was one thing though that he didn’t give up: drinking Coke 😀

Now he is healthy and gained weight too. I hope he gets to enjoy life more with my mother.

Sebatian Vettel Formula One 2010 World Champion

Congratulations Sebastian Vettel, Formula One Grand Prix 2010 World Champion.

“Sebastian Vettel drove a masterful race to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and lift his maiden Formula 1 world title.

The 23-year-old Red Bull driver was third in the standings but led from pole and saw other results go his way to become the youngest champion.” – David Ornstein, BBC

Formula One is my hubby’s super favorite motor-sports show, and MotoGP comes next, if I’m not mistaken.

The son is in the same mold for he religiously watches the races, even if it means he will wake up a little after midnight to watch some races live. The son roots for a different driver though, Nico Rosberg while I like Fernando Alonso. Formula One drivers, some even younger than Sebastian Vettel, are very dedicated, hardworking and determined to make their way to the top. I have to tell him that he can be a winner too, in whatever field he wants to be, if he has dedication, passion, hard work and determination.

Bento Box

The famous Japanese Bento Box is one alternative to making the lunchbox exciting.

The food prepared in there is healthy too especially for those in the lookout for msm dietary supplements and more healthy food choices.

Here is a video that teaches how to prepare a Bento Box.

Not taking into account the time it takes to prepare a Bento Box, I would love to do this for my school children. BUT! even if I prepare their snacks (those that don’t need cooking) at night before I sleep, it still takes me some time to prepare three lunch boxes considering I wake up at 4am. So that means I wake up around 2am then. Oh my!

I would love to try this one of these days, maybe with practice and preparation, I’d get to master the know-how on making Bento Box 🙂

Wedding Finery

During the wedding of my brother-in-law last Wednesday, people were “dressed to the nines” and that included my family. Of course, the clothes weren’t exactly free (the cloth is) and we still have to pay for the labor of making the dresses and gown (for the little girl) we wore (rolls eyes).

The women guests were lovely in their gowns and dresses while the men wore fine men’s clothing.

Now I know why my in-laws wanted us to have dresses made for us because they probably think I’d go there wearing my favorite attire of shorts, shirt and one of my two favorite flip-flops 😀

Tahimik

Tahimik

Tahimik na pamumuhay,

aking inaasam.

Walang kaguluhan, gutom at giyera,

nguni’t sa mga pangyayari, imposible nga ba?

Doon sa kakahuyan, tahimik at payapa

sa umaga maririnig ang huni ang ibon,

sa araw naglalaro ang mga paru-paro,

at sa gabi naman, mahimbing ang tulog.

Gugustuhin ko ba ang ganitong buhay?

Bakit hindi, kung ako ay magiging masaya

Walang maingay, mabaho at magulo,

basta kasama ang pamilya at

may internet ako.

Bow.
