A Family Vacation Is A Necessity

Nhil — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:33:28 +0000

For some families, a family vacation is just considered to be a luxury but in fact, it is a necessity. Family vacations are very important because this is the only uninterrupted time you can spend with the family. Kids go to school while parents have to work. This is the only time where the family can bond and enjoy each other’s company.

As parents, you must plan family vacation once in a while and make sure that you have the budget for it. You cannot go back in time and you cannot get it back too. Enjoy spending time with the family while you can.

Hoping To Get Pregnant This Year

Nhil — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:02:56 +0000

I am excited to be a mom and this is something that I want since my husband and I got married last 2009. Both our families are really waiting for this to happen since they also want us to finally start our own family.

Even if we are still working out on having a baby, I have been getting a lot of reminders from my parents and in-laws on how to be a good mother. That involves giving breast milk to my future baby as well as taking care of her basic needs from food, clothing, needed check up and love from me. I really hope to get pregnant this year so I can be a mom and add some more joy to our families.

What Family Occasions Teach Me

Nhil — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 12:15:17 +0000

Whenever a special occasion comes, I find myself scanning through my clothes and I realize how much I gained weight over the years.

Then I go online and read articles on how to lose weight safely as well as on how to burn belly fat, because I have heard from my peers that belly fat is one of the most challenging part of the body to ‘modify’ even if you do a lot of diet.

Today, I still am working on changing my lifestyle and incorporating more exercise routines for beginners (again) like me. I really hope that I notice the difference in my weight even if I only am doing these exercises little by little.

Sharing a Good Resource Online for News and Religion

Nhil — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:44:46 +0000

I recently had a talk with my Dad and as usual, we just talk about some interesting news and videos that we watched for the past couple of days. That’s how we communicate, we love to watch news and current affairs programs, and read news online as well. So that’s one thing we have in common.

Speaking of which, I asked my Chef Dad to check out The Rapture of the Church, as I discovered this recently as a site that bridges current events and prophecies in the Bible. This is a good site since we can talk more about the latest happenings while remembering the things about our faith as written in the Bible. If you are looking for a good online resource for this purpose, why not give this a look and share with your Mom and Dad who also access online stuff? I believe that they will appreciate it because you are adding more to the things that they can do online.

The Pursuit of Happyness Trailer

Nhil — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:33:19 +0000

I’m watching The Pursuit of Happyness trailer here in Youtube and will follow it up later by watching (hopefully) the whole film.

I have heard a lot of reviews that this is a very inspiring movie, unfortunately I missed watching this before so I am trying my luck this time.

How about you? Have you watched this movie? What do you remember about it?

Maury: Angel Has Found Her Father

Nhil — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 07:07:08 +0000

I was really touched by this clip from the Maury’s show. Kim asked for Maury’s help in controlling her teen Angel from her promiscuous behavior. She came to the show not once, but twice.

I am not a mother yet, but I can feel her mother’s suffering and so I understand why she needs other people’s help. Angel really came to the show as herself then, displaying a distasteful behavior her mom dislikes.

After almost two encounters on the show, Angel already turned her life around and now got a surprise of her life. Her dad was on Maury’s show and wanted to be reunited with Angel. I cried over watching this clip, because Angel has found peace in changing for the best and have found the missing piece of her life.

Loving the Banana Seat Bike

banana seat bike

When was the last time you rode a bike? I remembered that I was in my teenage years when I rode my last banana seat bike.

I loved every minute of it. I went from one subdivision to another just to pass time while biking. It also helped me sweat too much hehe, thanks to the speed that I used to keep while biking.

Yes, it was long ago and I really miss doing it that I am planning to buy a new bike for me. Good thing my husband Johann also loved the idea of us doing it because we seriously have a lot of exercising to do hehe.

I am now scouting for great bike deals because I want to enjoy my weekends outside. Just a great option and break from all my blogging activities.

Chicken Curry and Bonding with the Family

Nhil — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:32:01 +0000

Chicken Curry for Dinner

This is what I ate for dinner. I am not that adventurous when it comes to trying out new food.

That’s why when I have found out that Chicken Curry is somewhat ‘Indian’ food, my parents told me that I am not that picky at all.

And so there goes my love for chicken curry. I love it especially when my parents cook it for me. I like it when the sauce looks more orange-y rather than the usual yellow one. Of course, I would have my extra servings when it is not too spicy because I know that my taste buds can only tolerate it to a certain level.

It is always a joy to bond with your family with great food and booze. How about you? When was the last time you ate chicken curry and had a great bonding time with your family?
