I don’t know why I am still wide awake actually when I was really sleepy before we came home. We did not drink coffee this afternoon. It must have been the small serving of soft drink that I had before starting with my work when the boys had just slept earlier. I think I might just need a little more of that to keep me awake a little longer tonight and so I could finish stuff that needs to be done before a busy day tomorrow.

How many of us realize that we actually do not need a lot of money. We are provided enough with what we need. What we need is more time to enjoy the blessings that we are given. What will we do with so much money if we do not have time to enjoy the blessings as they come now?

Of course we need to save. We do need to save for the future. And yes there is what they call delayed gratification. But to keep the balance, we should try to enjoy our life while we are still not that old and that should be something we have to keep in mind. We know that all work and no play makes us dull and gray. Save for the future, work hard today but learn to enjoy and live life as time passes by. Don’t waste away your life as time passes by each day. Maybe that is something that I have realized when I got a health scare. What is all the money I will earn if I abuse my body by working overtime each day especially sleeping late at night after the little boy has gone to sleep so I can focus on my pending tasks. I still need money yes and I still need tasks very much! But the point is, enjoy life as it happens and this summer is the time that made me realize I should slow down a bit and enjoy life with my boys and my family as much as we can.

We used to like eating this Mandarin chorizo. But since it ain’t healthy to be eating this often, we decided to mix it with a little vegetable and we chose potatoes since that is the only veggie left on the ref when we are already due to go to the market to buy more veggies.

This is a simple yet delicious recipe that I can consider already. Nothing much in it and simple as it is it can pass as viand already. Will you try it? Mix more veggies to make it more healthy and nutritious. This one just had too many mandarin chorizo. *wink*

I could actually make my own but since I cannot get hubby to help me with this kind of stuff at home so I had to do it myself. In the end I said better buy one instead for that will be easier. I could proceed. Those dead leaves would be used well in a composting project just like the one that my mom told me before. The sooner this project is done, the better.

Chicharap anyone? This is from Chowking and a pack costs P29. It is actually a fave of the lil boy and he asks for it when he sees it if ever we get to dine at any of the Chowking branches in town. It is called kropek or kropeck elsewhere. Similar to the prawn crackers that my elder sister used to cook at home when we were in college years ago.

Not really a healthy snack but yes we enjoy snacking on it anyway we don’t often get to eat this nor do we allow the little boy to eat it often knowing the pedia’s eyebrow will raise when he hears about it.

Maybe I could stop dreaming for him to learn playing a guitar and make him start playing a real one. That was my thought as I was looking into these Squier guitars and basses. Would he want to play the mini strat electric guitar? Maybe! When he saw someone playing the electric guitar in a virtual game, I saw his eyes spark with interest. Well let’s see after his first summer class if he agrees to a some guitar lessons at a nearby musical school.

Colors…

Various coloring materials that I was looking into when the little boy requested for a new coloring set as part of the materials that they needed to bring when he took part of the first batch of Kids in Stripes at TGI Friday’s Abreeza. He has so many of this already but they just get lost or misplaced somehow. I choose the most affordable ones but has good quality.

In as much as I wanted to buy the real good yet more expensive one, I have to be more practical especially when he might just lose or misplace them. Plus there are still a few left of each of those that we have bought for him that he could still actually use when he wants to color something.

I hope I can find eyeglasses cheap that are not only affordable but of great quality, stylish and should fit me as well. I cannot afford to have any eye strain problem anymore. It could get worse and I should address this concern with my eyes as soon as I can. I have been trying to find some high quality, stylish frames. Got to need some tips on choosing a frame style that would fit my face. I may want to fix my eye problem but I don’t want to look like a nerd or something, you know. I just need them to help with my eye strain concern.

Its new package caught my attention as we went to the section of Robinson’s Supermarket to buy milk that hubby and I can drink. The pedia has recommended to us to buy non-fat milk actually but recently I want to go back to whole milk or fresh milk. At least for hubby and me for our daily calcium needs. I grew up a milk drinker and only stopped after I gave birth. Since then I only drink milk occasionally. I want to go back to drinking milk especially when I read recently that drinking milk each day can help lessen the risk of stroke.

So fresh milk anyone?
