Gaining the Weight Back

Our only son has not been eating well lately and I noticed that he has lost weight and he needs to gain the weight back. Yeah, I know, I should be the one losing the weight, not he.

Anyway, I thought about doing a little scare tactic with him. He was once hospitalized due to a severe asthma attack and he didn’t like to be in the hospital.

I asked him if he likes to go back to the hospital if he gets sick. He looked at me and said “No.”

That solved the problem somehow and he is back to his having his normal eating portions, plus extra snacks and milk before bed.

Oh yeah, one more thing, it is very, very expensive to get sick and be hospitalized especially for those without Medicare supplement cards.

I know.

Natural Skin Care

My daughter used to use honey and oatmeal combination for her facial wash. Yes, it was an effective acne treatment because she had clear facial skin when she was using the said product.

Sad though it was when she ran out of the product and we had no way of getting it since we bought it from an out-of-town source.

Now she is using a commercially-bought cream soap. She likes the result so far.

Sometimes we use egg white as face mask.

For me, nothing beats natural ingredients to clean the skin. It is also a big plus if these natural food products like fruits and vegetables are eaten regularly for maximum benefit.

What natural skin care have you tried so far?

Karting Race Today

We are supposed to go watch a karting race today but the rains haven’t dwindled since Thursday.

Yes, the kids love motor sports although they enjoy playing these through computer games and watching videos online. We have been to several real car races before but my son has this thing about the high rev noise by the racing cars.

When these two young kids go online, they never fail to watch videos of racing cars. They also see those car crash videos and feel sad when these expensive exotics crash because they know McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari parts are very expensive.

Sigh. I thought the rains will stop by now, we can’t go to that karting race after all. Perhaps they will just play this today.

Halika, Pasyal Tayo

Masarap maglakad habang namamasyal di ba? Lalo na kapag maaliwalas ang lugar, mahangin at tunay na nakaka-aliw.

sunday morning walk

Talaga namang hindi ka mapapagod, lalo na kapag kasama mo ang iyong mga mahal.

Pero hindi lahat ng paglalakad ay katulad nito.

Merong lakad na hindi man kaiga-igaya ang sitwasyon eh kailangang gawin lalo na kung walang alternatibo upang makapunta mula sa isang punto patungo sa ibang punto.

Hindi alintana ang panganib, sila ay sandaling napangiti nung sabihin kong kukunan ko sila ng larawan.

Sabagay, kung tutuusin, mukhang maayos naman ang kanilang nilalakaran, kumpara sa ibang batang ilang kilometro ang nilalakad makarating lamang sa kanilang paaralan. Ang iba nga kundi sira ang ang kanilang tsinelas, ay nakayapak pa.

Ano ang Merienda Mo?

Heto ang aking anak nagme-merienda ng sandwich sa baybayin ng Maynila.

Sa tuwing kami ay namamasyal, lagi may baon na sandwich. Nakakabusog, masarap, masustansiya at higit sa lahat, matipid 😀

Ikaw ano ang paborito mong palaman sa sandwich?
