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.

Sagot Sa Kagutuman

litratongpinoy

Tamad daw ang karamihan sa mga Pilipino. Maaaring totoo, maaari din namang hindi para sa ilan.

Isa ang labis na kahirapan sa problemang kinakaharap ng bansa. Hindi ko na lang hihimayin ang mga dahilan dahil baka abutin ako ng gabi di pa ako tapos magsulat dito.

Dala ng problemang ito ang isa pang problema: kagutuman.

Pero ang kasabihan natin, kung gusto magagawan ng paraan.

Anu-ano nga ba ang mga paraan na puwede maging sagot upang maibsan ang kagutuman?

Ang pagtatanim sa bakuran.

Walang espasyong lupa? Maging malikhain at gumamit ng ibang paraan kagaya nito:

pechay

Medyo mukhang ginutom din ang aking pechay dito at tila bagang ako naman ang tinamad magdilig 😀

Pero hindi ba mas mainam ang ganito, magtanim sa bakuran dahil isa ito sa sagot sa gutom, huwag lang tatamaring gumawa ng paraan para sa kasagutan nito.

At isa pa, nagamit muli ang dapat ay itinapon nang mga lalagyan ng inumin.

Huwag na pong tanungin bakit marami kaming mga ganyang lalagyan ng inumin, alam nyo na yun, hehehe.

Magandang araw ng Huwebes 🙂

Tawilis

Isang platitong tawilis

tawilis

Ito ay isang platito ng maliliit na isda na pilit na pagsasaluhan ng isang pamilyang hikahos sa buhay. Mabuti kung may ganitong pantawid gutom, ang iba kasi kuntento na sa noodles na lalagyan ng maraming tubig para masabaw.

Ganyan, ganyan kahirap ang buhay sa maraming mga Pilipino.

Hindi ko mawari kung bakit hindi gawan ng paraan ang napakalaking suliranin sa gutom. Ang mga pagkaing tulad ng talbos ng kamote, malunggay at iba pang dahon ay napakadaling patubuin at napakasustansiya. Mura pa kung ito ay bibilhin o kaya libre kung ito ay itatanim sa bakuran.

Sabagay, kung sa usaping numero o dami ng tao ang pag-uusapan, PANALO tayo sa bilis ng pagdami ng mga Pinoy na animo mga (huwag ko na nga lang ituloy ang sasabihin ko). Pero dahil dito TALO tayo sa kalidad ng pamumuhay.

Maiba ako, ilang toneladang tawilis kaya ang kayang bilhin ng $20,000 perang ipinambayad sa isang magarbong hapunan?

P.S. gusto ko ito kung me sukang me sili. Ikaw?

Food Photomemes

I love joining photo memes because I have tons of photos to share.

Two photomemes on food that I try to religiously join are Food Friday and Lasang Pinoy Sundays.

Sometimes just by looking at the food photo entries make me want to get some diet pills for myself, teehee!

I am no whiz in the kitchen. I am a struggling cook who wants to serve not just delicious but nutritious food to my family.

So now, I’m off to the kitchen to start that lunch 🙂

Maple Syrup Diet

This morning after reading some sites on diet pill reviews and collecting info for an article I am writing, I was also “listening” to a local television show and it so happened that the hosts and their guest were talking about Beyonce’s detox drink called the Maple Syrup Diet.

Maple Syrup Diet seems to be an interesting concept but I have learned through reading that this has been recommended and introduced more than thirty years ago.

I just do not know if it is a good decision for anyone who will do the Maple Syrup Diet. Why? Because  as long as the diet is ongoing, no solid food should pass between the lips of the dieter. I wonder if this is safe.

I want to try this for the detoxifying effect. Maybe the once a week plan would work well for me.I hope it would.

There is just one thing though: where could I possibly buy real maple syrup here?
