For a change!

I want something new. All my life I've been choosing only one color. Always the silver platinum for my nail polish. So afraid to reinvent myself. So afraid it wouldn't look good on my personality. Afraid also that it would be in appropriate at my age and pretty laidback when it comes to fashion. Now I want something new, for a change. And I like it. It brightens my sullen mood. Plus, now am more conscious also to what I prepare on the table. Eating banana everyday is a good healthy diet. I tried not to have coffee this morning, and instead I made myself a hot choco-milk and bread with cheese-dog and eggs...but I didn't touch the egg. I love toasted bread and I always find time to get one bigger pack in the grocery. I munch while I read my favorite books.

Grab a grub...

Every morning, it's very hard for me forcing my grown up kids to take their breakfast before taking their early morning bath, but when they see their favorite SwissMiss on the table...everyone grab each packet talaga. They all love it hot with marsmallow floating and melting on top.

One of their favorite one-grab meal is canned-tuna. Pag hindi ako nakapagprepare ng food, masaya na sila sa tuna...all diving on it...sobrang favorite nila yon that goes well with steaming hot rice.

Hahah! Naturuan ko silang kumain ng mochi wrapped in special nori. Dati ayaw nila...ngayon naku kagulo sa table... nuking the mochi and wrapping it while hot and goes well with Kikkoman soy sauce. It is called Isobemochi... oishii desu!
It's difficult pag picky ang mga bata sa food...sa house di naman sila mapaghanap, kaso they have their own choices of food. Gaya ng tuna which is very cheap naman and andyan lang...hotdogs and embotido. But if you know the preservatives na inilalagay don which is detrimental talaga sa health...hahanap ka ng ibang choices eh. There was a time na I bought ayungin (...lol...taga Rizal ang mahilig dyan) and I cooked it for our lunch...ayun walang kumain...with matching bottled red tokwang sungsong...as sawsawan...sigh...walang pumansin...ending nagka-molds yung salted tokwa...ang ending sa basurahan...grrr. Then on one day naman I bought biya...I cooked with gata and ripe guava, hay naku...they were asking..."mama, anong isda po ito?" lol, (dyan nagmula yung kasabihan ng mga matatanda na "utak biya"...meaning medyo di matalino or to put it straight eh bobita)...pati gg, itanong ba naman ni C kung ano raw yun...kaloka di ba?!
Hay naku...sa umaga takutan kami...para akong si Hitler, I make sure kasi na may laman ang tyan nila before going to school lest they want to be empty headed in the classroom.
Yan siguro dahilan kaya ako nananaba...kakakain ng left food on the table. They'd go..."mama, don't throw it in, throw it out!"...then I'd go, maraming nagugutom ngayon kaya wag tayong magsayang ng pagkain...maloko kasi sabe nila, "mama, mabubusog ba sila pag inubos mo yan, ganon?!"...ayaw nila kasing tumaba ulit ako eh. I become sickly kasi with any added timbang, kaya they are just too worried if I stay near the dining table. Di raw ako member ng screening committee. :)

Skipping breakfast...again!

Waken up by the irritating alarm from my dau's CP. I don't need one because my biological clock still is serving me even better than I need, each morning. I headed to the kitchen to cook for my son's packlunch and to prepare their breakfast. Had put steaming rice in his lunchbox with spanish sardines given to me by Maro she bought from Palawan. Wow ang sarap, spicy. The table I arranged so that everything they'd need is just there at armlength. They have steaming oatmeal alongside milk and sugar. As I took turn cooking and preparing and also sitting in front of the PC to blog a little, which is very normal to me not to waste time in the morning. This' my normal sked in the morning. Voila!!! Nobody did touch their breakfast. They're now off to school with empty stomach again...sigh...they certainly know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet...

Mother's woe

Got up early to personally fix and prepare my kid's meal. They're always in a hurry to whoever is going to use the bathroom first. No kidding, the house we are renting consists of 3 TB...but the children prefer to use the one in my room...grrrr. The sad part of making efforts to get out of bed and fix everything is...nobody wants to eat their morning meal. Bakit kaya? First I offered Irrach, then Bunso...voila...the two apologetically begged off eating even just a few spoonful. Hay ang ending ako ang kumain pero di ko rin kinaya. And do you know what I've noticed? When I tried my first heap, I felt a sudden upward push inside my stomach right after I smelled a small portion of adobo. I hate the smell of the pork. It wasn't the freshness of the meat that is in question 'coz I know how to choose fresh meat and poultry. We just don't wanna eat pork na. Slowly I have been noticing na mostly they stay away from the dining table kapag pork ang ulam. They just love tuna in corn oil, hotdogs, fish, beef hash, spaghetti, corn soup, sinigang, hamonado...and chicken. It's important that I scout something for their breakfast tomorrow...or else...they'll be going off to school with a puckered lips and empty stomache. And I hate that to happen...

My fave breakfast...

Morning hot pandesal goes well with chili sardines...hmmm...yummy. With a steaming cup of creamed coffee...what else will I be asking for to shake off my sleepyhead in the morning?! :)

Ang sarap!!!

BnB

Argh! My body aches...think I can't go for today's Jazz sked...argh...ang sakit, promise!!! :) One thing I do enjoy dahil kasi we are in group doing a lot of stretches and plie...and tendeu...argh...grabe...mani mani lang sa tingin pero eto got a lot of pull on my hamstrings. But what makes me happy eh yung mga exercises doc has given me ay kasama, and besides dancing is great. So enjoy lang. Kaso parang di ko kaya today. I want to stay in bed.
Having my late coffee that usually begins as early as 6. So it's kinda late already. I am an early bird. I woke up a bit late because of much exhaustion kahapon. From jazz I went straight to a mall with my undergarments soaked wet of perspiration, I just changed my tee and a little powder. Had met with a friend, eat out and went to find #--- M velasquez St. _____. While on the way I requested the driver to please look for a bakeshop. I saw GB and alighted from the taxi a few minutes just to buy some presents for Kat. A few mamon and brownies and popcorn. She likes Lengua de Gato but it's luma from the way it looked so I settled for mamon instead. Shocks ang layo pala ng house ni Katrina, hi to Talitha...hi to Maro na umubos daw ng popcorn with caramel...oks lang yan, Maro... Gusto ko rin sana at paborito ng kids pero di ako nag-uwi. I stay away from much sugar. Then we went straight to her house. The fun thing yung maghanap ka eh di ba? Sarap ng feeling...adventurous...ayun nakarma ako...Kat was in PGH for her gift-sharing...sigh...eh with dark clouds and anticipated jam that made me a bit worried so I left my gift to her Tita Mabel or Malou, the very accomodating na neighbor nila. That's what I liked most sa tao...ung accomodating. I saw tarpaulin with many friends of Kat wearing her famous EAR campaign t-shirts. Waaahh...bakit ako wala don...joke lang Kat ha. Ang sayang bata, kaya mahal ko...inspite of her worries na hindi naman siya nagwoworry at all. Ako pa nga ang pinasasaya niya with her messages na uplifting. Got home late and exhausted but with a smile knowing natuwa si Kat sa gift kahit ganun lang yong binigay ko. It proves that it's the thought that counts...
Everything she recieves is a blessing to her and I am glad she surpasses everything. Sometimes when I grow weak, pag naalala ko ang courage niya...it makes me stronger. If not, shame on me...dahil compared to some, I can always say na I am blest. So I should always feel blest. Everyone should.
Wow it's past 8 o'clock and earlier I craved for hot coffee that goes well with stripped beef tapa, garlic fried rice with sunny side up on top...and look what I've got...only coffee...oh dear me...but anyway mabuti na lang dahil lumipas na ang cravings ko...di pa lumaki ang tiyan ko.

Late breakfast...always!

Argh! I am having this abdominal pain...which come and go and it hurts. I think it's some kind of a colic. Think, am overeating mikan (oranges), and apples that's giving too much gas inside my stomach. I can't think of any reason why am having this upset somach this early...and hehehe...still got no breakfast still. Baka naman I need to eat na. Will look for something easy to cook in the kitchen, except those ready to eat noodles...nakakasawa na kasi. I think sunny side up, salami and a toast with butter na naman will do...and a cup of coffee kahit medyo bawal sa akin. Kasama na jan ang lunch...so that's my brunch today. :D
Ok sige will change na lang to a hot tea, to avoid sugar. And whoah, I saw a blueberry sauce, why not?!
Most of the time kasi dne-delay ko ang pagkain ko para makapagdiet ako which is not a good idea...kaya eto, am suffering...hirap kasi magdiet eh...lalo na't may thyroid problem ako. But I need to lose some more weight...for my back will hurt. :(
