A Charming Kitchen

I’ve been looking at my kitchen for several days now and was thinking of a slight make over or renovation. I love cooking and whenever I have time to experiment on new recipes I really indulge my time. I spend lots of time in the kitchen where I cook all the meals of my family and learn some new things about baking.

Yes I’m into baking right now and I’m planning to enroll in a class to specialize on crinkles and brownies. Because I’m always in that particular area of the house I want it to be spotlessly clean and must exude a warm and cozy ambience. I wanted to add a touch of the conservative kitchen we had several years ago when our house was still Spanish-inspired.

First and foremost I want to revive the appeal of that old kitchen by changing my kitchen sinks. I’ve been searching for the kind that would appeal and found copper kitchen sinks which suits my taste well enough. I also learned that it’s antibacterial so it’s perfect for me. I’m looking forward to having it in my kitchen and I’ll be changing some furniture to match the old charming look of the copper sinks. That way I’ll be more inspired to try out delicious recipes.

:Today's Flowers #41

I've picked my entry from the flowers that you often see on the sides of the road or just a simple backdrop ornaments on the sides of the garden. They're the small petite flowers that we sometimes forgot to take a second look because they're just too tiny and small to notice. I was quite happy with my shots because it brings out the best of the ordinary small blooms.

Looking at the Sky on Friday - Mall Sunset

It's my first time to join this one and I have my shot atop Ever Gotesco Mall in Ortigas near our place. We (my kids and I) were finished with our shopping around past 5pm and were about to go home when I was enthralled by the view above us. I've always love sunset even if it's just starting to darken. I love how the rays of the setting sun became so visibly astonishing passing through the clouds!

This kind of view inspires me because it's so good to see God's wonderful creation, if you want to be more inspired visit this! You'll be touched for sure!

:WW - Turban Baby

This is my goddaughter Jezrah, granddaughter of our Pastor and one of my favorite models when my camera clicks! She's one year and 3 months old and very adorable! She's sporting a towel turban here because rain showers suddenly came when we're about to leave the church and her cap is nowhere to find! The towel served the purpose, she escaped the cold breeze of the rain.

Happy WW, view more entries -> here.

Help for Mesothelioma Victims

I’ve posted recently here the effects of asbestos to those people who have been very much exposed to this miracle mineral. I’ve been following the stories of the people who had lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma because of this mineral, the mineral that has a lot of usability but hazardous to human. I learned that people have sought the help of Mesothelioma lawyers to help them investigate and sue the companies who were involved and responsible in their acquired diseases. After all they deserve some justice.

:Today's Flowers #40

A simple petite rose pink flower shot on partial and full bloom stage. Actually the color of this flower is somewhat red in the distance but when you go closer it's dark pink. Anyway whatever is the true color of this one I find this simply pretty. This shot was taken in the province of Aklan amidst various blooming flowers in the backyard garden. I'll be posting more of it in the coming weeks.

Controlling Your Food Cravings

I’ve seen some friends who claimed to have undergone some diet plan and other ways to burn excess pounds. They look the same to me as if nothing has changed and I wonder if they’re following their diet plan or it’s not specifically right for them. Although I know that some of them really have good appetite they told me that they just burned what they eat through exercise. Exercise is not enough for people who are heavy eaters. They need to have appetite suppressants to control their food cravings. This together with exercise regimen can help them achieve their desired weight.

Busy With School Preparations

School opening is just around the corner, another two weeks and we’re back again to sending our kids to their school. That will include two hours earlier of waking up to prepare their things and food, filing under time in my work to attend PTA meetings and scheduling all my activities to cope up with my children’s maternal assistance. But I do it guys with happiness and excitement. I love doing all these for my kids that’s why sometimes they would tease me that I’m a stage mom :-)

Anyway we’re done with shopping for their school things, all three of them and we’re happy last weekend to do this shopping. View some of our pics in my weekend snapshots!

Scanners

Every time we went out to buy our essential items in the grocery my kids were always curious on the cost of our usual grocery items. On most of the supermarket that we frequent they would look for the barcode scanner standing at the center of the store where you can inquire at the price of the goods. If the price is missing on the items I want to buy they will go to the scanner to search the price. Sometimes they just want to see how the scanner would run its red light on the items and eventually show the price on the small screen. Kids are like that they always want to know and try everything.
