Berries for US!!

Dear Raquel,

Here is this week's Health Byte from the PCOSA. 

Berries are Among the Very Best for PCOS Health  Ounce for ounce, berries have more protective heart-healthy plant antioxidants than almost any other food ... and that's just the start of the advantages of these fruits for women with PCOS. Because they're high in fill-you-up fiber, they curb hunger which aids in better management of PCOS symptoms whether you're overweight, of normal healthy weight or even lean. For this same reason, they can help to lose or control weight if you need some assistance in this area. Berries - any berries - not only lower the risk of developing a disease like cancer but also help prevent memory loss. Aim to eat a cup of berries- fresh or thawed from frozen - at least three times a week. There are plenty of ways to add them to your diet. Try: Tossing them in salads Snacking on them one by one Adding them to yogurt, cereal and smoothies Stirring them into anything you bake

Sincerely,

Christine DeZarn

tired

Today, I really feel tired. And I know it is not because I have loads of work today but it’s the huge work I’ve been doing for the past week and like any other things our body needs its rest at some point. vitamins and some food supplement may help to sustain you but it will not hold you from falling. And I know I am I need to rest now. Rest means, get at least 8 hour sleep, rest my mind and have good time of relaxation, stress free for the mean time and maybe I’ll be rejuvenated afterwards.

Always a bridesmaid

But at least I didn't have 27 dresses and I didn't have to wait for the 28th to be my own wedding gown. You can say I enjoyed that movie. I only saw it last night, I had the VCD for almost a month now and I've been meaning to watch it but got no chance until last night.

It is funny because I remember my mom keeps on reminding me before that I should stop being bridesmaid because I might not get married anymore and to think I have only been bridesmaid 5 times when I was single. 

But I must admit there were times I declined being such because I am already getting old and bigger (those were the times that I refuse to wear dress anymore, times that I started taking diet and slimming pills though I do not remember taking liporexall) I even said NO to my brothers wedding because I don't think I will look good to any dress.

But I have learned to love weddings too, and even if I am not bridesmaid I always have special participation in friends wedding. I love to plan with them, choose flowers with them, I love to dream with them. I just love weddings. That is why even If I do all the work for free I will still be happy. I may not be the bridesmaid but I an be the brides best friend. In short I am the coordinator. lol

Skincare and weekend

Hi everyone!! How's your weekend going? Are you having a busy weekend or a lazy stay at home day? How I wish for the latter but I am having the first. It is a busy weekend for me.And I hope I will not need the best acne treatment after this week. But chances are with the way things going in my life right now. Good luck to my skin and face.

One, I've been sleeping so late for the whole week, and when I say late it means 3:00 am or 2:00 AM. And I know for someone to have a good skin  she needs at least 8 hour of sleep everyday. 

Next, I am always on the road and with our service vehicle (motorbike) I am exposed everyday to the heat and pollutants around.

So really good luck to my face.

But I can not complain because the reason why I always sleep late and why I am busy ,it's all worth it. I mean I do not stay late just playing games or chatting. I am working.

Anyways, whatever weekend you are having I hope you are enjoying it to the max!!

Anemic:Vitamins:forgetful me

I keep on missing my daily vitamin. I'm taking 2 tablets of ferrous sulfate a day because of my iron deficiency. It is very common to women especially to those who are pregnant. In my case, I have always been anemic ever since. I remember my mom used to feed me foods that are rich in iron when I was still a kid. Green leafy vegetables such as Kamote tops, malunggay  and worse the young bird ( i think it is a dove) and the slightly cooked liver. 

 I do not know why I still grew up anemic. I guess the heavy flows during my periods is the main reason. 

 In addition to my ferrous sulfate, I am planning to buy also vitamin E supplement. encouraged by the TV commercial of Judy Ann Santos. hehe! 

Do you take nay vitamins? What are they?

MOVIE DATE

After “Dear John” last February, finally, another movie date with the husband last night. I do not watch movies in big screen too often because I find it expensive and we are at present in cost cutting times. But last night I asked hubby if we could at least watch “HERE COMES THE BRIDE’ and he said yes. After all it was a funny movie and we need to laugh real hard sometimes right?

And the movie did not fail us. It was hilarious, very entertaining and I liked it. And the husband enjoyed it too. John Lapuz is funny and the big girl like me who obviously needs clinicallix to shed the excess pounds is funny too. I do not know her actually but she’s good.

Ad of course Eugene Domingo was the very reason why I wanted to see it. Saw her “Kimidora” and I assumed this one is good to and I was right.

So if you haven’t watched it yet. I highly recommend it, it is still showing in some cinemas in Metro Manila. We watched at Waltermart Pasong Tamo which is convenient for us because we are very near that place.

Enjoy!!

Sweet Blog award

Young and worry free

This girl is turning 8 on the 31st. Last year we had a barbie party for her.She always had a party every year but this year because she's already 8, the celebration will be for us only, the whole family will go swimming this Sunday to celebrate her day and the end of the summer. 

Nope, she is not my child. She is my niece and I love her to bits :)Her greatest love is my mom and I think my mom's greatest love is her also. They are inseparable.

Isn't she cute? I hope she stay that way forever.Young, worry free, loving, and fun. I think those are the reason why all kids are beautiful and cute. They don't need acne cleanser like adults do because they don't worry too much.

Anyways, you can tell she is excited for our swimming party on Sunday and to think it will be her fourth swimming this summer. Kids really enjoy life to the fullest.

Don't you wish you are a kid again sometimes?

our small home business is picking up!

Remember my post about wanting to work at home badly? Well, unfortunately I still do not see my self in that situation for the next couple of months but I am thanking God right now because our small home based business of printing t-shirts (silk screen) is slowly picking up. Hubby is really doing his best to do well to have more clients and Praise God, this month he has earned enough to cover our rent and he had already bought new tires for the motor bike.

If this blessing goes on and will continue to surge up, I will definitely leave my day time job and help hubby with the small business.

Thank you Lord.

Hongkong Trip?

I have a 76 pesos ticket for two (one way) to Hongkong for September 29. I booked that during the 1 peso seat sale of Cebu Pacific. It was a great sale I must say but I was only able to get us a one way ticket.

Now, the problem is finding a cheap ticket going back from Hongkong to Manila. I’ve been browsing but to no avail.

And plus the fact that we still have to make some ipon for this Hongkong trip, travel tax, airport tax, our accommodations and food and of course for the pasyal itself will cost us a lot.

And because of that I’ve thoughts to just forego the ticket, although I don’t want the promo fare to go to waste because I know it is not easy to avail of such very good promo…but If I have no choice, will just let it go.

Sigh.
