Backyard Gardening Ulit

Balak ko simulan muli ang aking nasirang backyard garden.

rusty trowel

Bakit ika nyo? kasi naghihinayang ako bumili ng tanglad (lemongrass) tuwing magluluto kami ng tinola at tahong na may sabaw. Pati na ring tuwing iinum kami ng pinakuluang tubig na may dahon nito, tipong tsaa, lalagyan na lang ng honey at mint leaves (may tanim din ako nito pero namatay din) para manamis-namis.

Ang basil na mabango ihalo sa ulam at masarap din sa pasta, wala na.

Miss ko na din ang aking mga okra at ampalaya.

Kelan kaya magkakatotoo ang balak ko na ito? Sana malapit na, kahit na tagtuyo pa naman o El Nino ang darating na summer.

Cool Nights + Hot Days = Allergy

Posted on January 20, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

The nights and early mornings have been very cool since last month and I should be thankful. Well, I am thankful with that except that mid-morning till mid-afternoon the weather becomes very hot. Hence the headache, allergy attack and asthma attack for my son. Sigh…

As early as now the children are hinting about getting an inflatable pool (yes, we don’t have to get a pool and/or spa filter for this)  now that our water supply is better. Finally, I think we can get one for them now 😀

I can bear with the aches and pains for now for I know that these too shall pass. And until summer is not officially here,  we are going to enjoy the cool weather especially at night.

Eye Photo

I love taking eye photos. Yep, up close, kinda difficult to do of course. That the eye is a fascinating subject, there is no doubt about it.

Permit me to show another eye photo:

One of my eyes, which, right at this very moment, are both red and itchy due to allergies. Read more »

Skin Care and TV Ads

Posted on January 17, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

There is this television commercial (tvc) of three popular TV personalities who used to be together in a now-defunct show about fashion, lifestyle and almost everything that screams “buy me!”

This tvc was about looking the same or maybe even younger than they were six years ago. If I were different, maybe I would believe these ladies but knowing how much photoshop can be done to make things look better different, I may not be one of those who bought that product which I guess based its presentation on hydrolyze reviews.

Either the product really works or I am just a skeptic, I wouldn’t know unless I try it myself. Which I would probably not because I would rather do this.

Reading About Health Concerns

Posted on January 7, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

A week into the new year had me reading about healthy eating, fitness and healthy living. I am sure I am not the only one doing this whenever new year comes 😀

Following the death of our granduncle who had lung-related health issues and the passing away of a family friend’s mom due to kidney problems made me want to read on how to best deal with these. So far I have read about asthma and allergy treatments, about cough and colds treatments,  as well as eye-related issues.

I know we can not prevent certain health conditions from invading our system but it pays to know about some important health concerns.
