Eat All You Can First Timers

Alam niyo naman na isang baranggay ang anak ko… and even if we want to bring them to an eat all you can restaurant, medyo alangan.. una baka hindi sulit at pangalawa, baka umabot ng milyones ang bill ko hahahaha

But since it was HIS birthday last May (if it was my birthday, an eat all you can treat wouldn’t be enough, I might ask for a pull out shelf hahaha), we decided it’s about time the kids experience an eat all you can buffet. We went to Sambokojin Eastwood for lunch on his birthday (un ang pinakamalapit eh at sawa na din kame sa Yakimix).. and even though we didn’t called for a reservation, they were able to accommodate us.

Enjoy naman ang bagets, in fact nag aayaya ulit doon! They had a blast at the ice cream station and they also liked the spicy chicken wings

For me, this crispy and sweet chicken is the best as well as the braised beef.. well, panalo din sa akin ang desserts station nila.. not the cakes but the chocolate dipping.. tastes like tsokolate eh ..

And here’s after eating more than 3 cups of ice cream: (ayaw sumama ni birthday sa picture haha)

Well, hindi naman umabot ng milyones ang bill.. actually, I was quite surprised that our bill was less than 2K. We paid for two adults (549 each) + 2 kids (319+ each), the two younger kids were free of charge. With this kind of policy, mawiwili yata kame sa Sambokojin haha

May funny story pala after that.. pag dating sa bahay, amazing race kame lahat sa CR.. busog na busog ang mga bagets!

And the moral lesson according to my little girl: Pag gutom, kakain, pag busog, tigil na kumain.

How To Clean A Rug

Rug or carpet is a nice addition to any home. It adds beauty and style but rugs can be very expensive and hard to maintain. If you own a rug, it is very important that you know the basics of cleaning a rug.

To keep your rug looking good and clean, it is advised to vacuum it twice a month or more frequent if you have kids or a pet that shreds. When you vacuum your carpet, make sure that you vacuum both sides, vacuum the top side first, then the back side and vacuum the top side again.

When there’s a spill or a stain in your rug, make sure to clean it immediately. Don’t let the stains or the spills dried out as it would be harder to remove it. If it is a water spill, use a clean dry cotton cloth and blot the spill carefully. Do not rub the spill as this can damage your carpet. If the spill comes from milk, make sure that you clean it with a mild detergent and water to prevent it from smelling bad.

If your carpet was wet from the flood or if the rug stain or spill was too big, bring it immediately to an expert rug cleaning company.

Oh Hello There Tonsillitis..

and no, I am not so glad you came..

Usual day… which ends in a not so usual illness.. ayayay! Haven’t felt this ill for the longest time.. haays. I was bed ridden for almost a week…

It was two Saturdays ago, I was not feeling well..slept the whole afternoon.. and by midnight, my fever is sky rocketing high (hubby said I almost reached 40 deg).. He stayed up all night caring for me.. sponge bath, checking my temperature and making me feel better. Swerte ko talaga sa asawa ko.. provider na.. nurse pa! Pero hindi naman pwedeng umabsent siya at alagaan ako ng bongga.. kaya to the rescue si mudra!

We went to ER Sunday afternoon and I was diagnosed with Tonsillitis. Inflammation of tonsils which was caused by bacterial or viral infection. I was given three kinds of med. Antibiotics, candy for sore throat pain (hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan!! haha) and paracetamol for my fever. Of course for, I bought Biogesic for paracetamol. Yan lang naman ang trusted brand ko when it comes to paracetamol. Tamang tama din ang Biogesic since I can’t eat with my sore throat, I still can take it even with empty stomach. And with my fever that time, I need to take paracetamol every four hours. Safe na safe ang pakiramdam ko sa Biogesic.

Yan ang pinakamasaklap sa lahat! Hindi ako makakain.. ahuhu buti pa ang ibang sakit, wala kang gana kumain, pero noong may tonsilitis ako, may gana ako! Gusto ko ng pizza, ng burger, ng kahit ano.. pero wala! Hindi ko kayang kumain! Para akong mababaliw sa gutom hahaha

But the best thing about being sick, I have the best nurse in the world, my little princess.. feel na feel ko ang love sa akin ng aming prinsesa. During the time that I was in bed, she’d check on me from time to time. Siya din ang nag sponge bath sa akin pag mataas ang lagnat ko. You can see the concern in her eyes and the way she touched me.. na “touch” therapy ako ng bongga! Ang sarap talaga ng may baby girl.

Another good thing, I lose weight.. makes me want to stay sick kahit hangang 110lbs laaaang hahaha

After 4 days, my throat’s getting better. I took the antibiotics for 3 days and also gargle mouthwash and warm water+salt solution. I think the solution helped a lot. It makes me feel better and helped a lot in treating the inflammation. If you’re feeling the symptoms of tonsilitiss, I suggest you gargle warm water+solution at least 4 times a day. I think I did that almost every two hours. Grabe talaga ang sakit nang lalamunan ko noon, halos hindi ako makatulog.. or minsan makakatulog ako tapos pag nalunok ako, bigla ako magigising sa sakit.. ang saklap talaga!

And now after more than a week, I’m better.. kaya lang we missed Run United last Sunday. I don’ think I can run that day.. mejo hilo hilo pa din at ngarag ang pakiramdam ko.. nest RU, hopefully.

Back to work na ang beauty ko!
