Today, Not Next Week

Posted on September 18, 2012 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Every time I pass by this mall on my way home from my part-time work every Friday, I always want to look at the dainty dresses I see hanging on the racks. (Hah! Why I would want to buy from the racks which would mean a hundred or more people have the same dress is beyond me, lol)

I want to wear dresses for a change. I am getting a bit tired with my shorts and shirt ensemble. Sometimes.

When I had a buy a dress for me a few months ago, I dreaded going to the plus size evening dresses, not because I don’t like the designs but because I can’t accept that I can only buy something that will fit me in that section. How pathetic!!!  Hehe.

I am starting a new diet this week tomorrow. And yes, according to my mother, “tomorrow will always be there, why not say TODAY?”

Yep.

Avocado Slices

‘Tis the season for avocado in this country. What can you do with avocado?

avocado slices

The usual preparation would be to put milk and sugar and just dig in. We did that the other day but before digging in, I froze the mashed avocado mixed with muscovado sugar and evaporated milk.

Yum!

Philippine Teams Win at 2012 2nd Bi-Annual Pacific Asia Youth Games in Guam

Congratulations to the Philippine football under 12 team and the De La Salle Zobel-Philippine volleyball team under-14  for winning the titles under their division at the recent 2012 2nd Bi-Annual Pacific Asia Youth Games in Guam. More about their victory here.

Hooray for KB (or is it CB) who belongs to the Philippine football under 12 team. I’m sure you will be getting more soccer trophies in the years to come.

Sports is a great way for children to not just enjoy being outdoors, but to learn about cooperation, following rules, discipline and focus.

Congratulations!

Plants Love the Rains

Posted on June 1, 2012 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I am back to taking care of new plants: mint, basil, eggplant and ampalaya. I have yet to harvest the calamansi fruits. The calamansi plants were a surprise because after caring for these for around 3 years or so, it was only last year that it started bearing the citrus fruits. Why? Because I water these with used coffee grounds mixed with water.

I do the same for the smaller plants. I plan to get a composter where the fruit pulp I get from the juicer for our fresh fruits can go so I don’t have to buy non-soil from the hardware store. Maybe I can get from my friend Cookie some worms for this composter. I am not fond of them the very thought of worms give me goosebumps but I may have to ask the cleaning lady to handle these for me, 😀

I will try to take photos of these new plants and hopefully have more to come especially since the rainy season is here. I say new plants because every year, I get new plants to take care of, haha.

I Need to Hydrate

Posted on April 20, 2012 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

The heat is oppressive and is making the skin so dry. It’s like everywhere you are being baked alive.

I had to change my facial care and look for oil free lotion hydrating treatment. I am looking for something like this below:

hydrating treatment

Now, my feet need a lot of hydrating too especially since I walk barefoot at home. My aunt said that I need to lather on lots and lots of lotion while I am watching TV or before I go to bed. Well, I used to do that but I don’t watch TV these days and I sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow because I felt faint the whole day from the heat.
