Someone will scream in delight…

my little sister is coming for the long weekend.. and I am pretty sure she would scream in delight when she sees this:

My sigarilyas bearing fruit! It happened right after the flood.. I think my plants were threatened by the flood and started bearing fruit.. I have noticed that after Ondoy, the fruit bearing trees in the subdivision started to flower and bear fruit earlier.. ang galing di ba, they feel like their existence was threated kaya they bear fruit para di maubos ang lahi nila.. haay nature!

My sigarilyas has been flowering for what seems like forever..but because of plant worms, the flowers never made it..hahays..pero ngayon.. ay naloka ako ng bongga when I saw the fruit! Another gardening dream fulfilled!

Sadly, my sili did not survived the flood.. good thing, I already harvested some of its fruit a few days before the flood:

Oh well, I just have to pant another sili, this time I will plant it on a pot.. mother said, sili never really liked water, that’s why it died after the flood.

Gloomy Day To Bloomy Day!

Wednesday. raining.. gloomy was an understatement.. but yeah, it was a gloomy day..

but! I made sure it was a BLOOMY DAY for me!

First stop: an event at Toy R Us (Robinson’s Galleria) from one of my favorite PR company and a treat at TGIF! Blog post coming soon.. but it was a really nice event.. we toured inside Toys R Us (parang first timer LOL) and I found a yellow totter! Sati has been asking for a yellow totter and I found one at Toys R Us! And it’s cheaper than Little Tikes!

Next is an unplanned date with my girlfriends at Happy Lemon:

It was an impromptu “date” and it was sooo bitin! Next time, let’s do Serenitea, girls!

After our Happy Lemon, we stopped by at Etude House and though there was no plan to buy another lips cosmetic.. I bought a gloss!

Pink na pink! It was my first time to enter an Etude House and was shocked to know that most of their merchandise was really affordable.

And then I went home to my kids 🙂

at kinabukasan nga, binili na si Yellow Totter!

Tita Erika.. bawal hiramin ang totter! haha

Lose More, Live More: The Wonders Of Fiber

It is a wake up call!

Obviously I need to change my diet and incude more fiber on it. I am now taking C-lium 2-3 times a day and saying NO to foods high in cholesterol and taking care of my body more.

Now, why do I need more fiber and what is it with C-lium that made it to my diet?

Fiber acts as sponge to bad cholesterol and according to C-lium website, fiber also promotes healthy digestion. Aside from regularizing bowel movements it also help redue the risk of digestive track related diseases. Fiber being a sponge to bad cholesterol, helps reduce the risk of heart disease.

So what happens if you do not take enough fiber and ends up having fiber deficiency?

Not good eh? but before you start chewing anything with fiber, you have to know that not all fiber acts that way. There are two types of fiber, insoluble and soluble and only the soluble fiber. Only the soluble can helps you lower your bad cholesterol. And soluble fiber can be found in fruits and vegetables.

One of the best source of soluble fiber is Psyllium, in fact, there is 71 grams of soluble fiber for every 100 grams of Psyllium. And you know what? C-lium is made from 100% natural Psyllium fiber, making it your 100% natural best fiber source.

So yes, that’s the main reason why I am taking C-lium2-3 times daily…if you have been following me, you know how much my bad cholesterol is doing and how high my triglycerides are. My goal is to lower it in a span of one month and by end of August we will see how much C-lium does to my body 🙂 and I have my faith on C-lium!

But you might be curious to know how I was during the flood, I mean health wise..well f course, I was not able to exercise during that time but I always made sure that I take C-lium and eat less. Oh by the way, I found an effective way to eat less.. that is eating in a small bowl like this one:
