TCP: The Lake House

My second week at Tuesday Couch Potato. This week is all about Sandra Bullock films! I chose The Lake House simply because it’s the only Sandra Bullock film I can think of. If it’s a Julia Roberts film, for sure, I would have a hard time choosing which one is my fave.

The Lake House is a story of two people who lived on the same house but on different time. It has a fantasy feel to it and a touch of drama. The two communicates through a mailbox in the house. Through their letters, their love grew and together they discovered a way to bridge their gap. They set up a date to meet up, the guy did not showed up. Years later, the girl discovered that the guy had an accident (and died) on the same day they are suppose to meet. Knowing what’s about to happen, she warned the guy and they waited until they can meet again.

Questions About Tubal Ligation

Tubal ligation (also commonly referred to as having your tubes tied) is surgery that closes off a woman’s fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes help carry a released egg from the ovaries to the uterus and are usually the place where an egg is fertilized by a sperm. Once the tubes are closed or “tied,” sperm will not be able to reach an egg, so pregnancy cannot take place. (source)

Here is an illustration of how Tubal Ligation works… this is far better off than describing it in words.

Tubal Ligation is a permanent kind of birth control. It is one of the most effective as it permanently make a woman sterile. In some cases this procedure can be reversed. The chances of getting pregnant again after reversal is very slim and there is always a risk of ectopic pregnancy.

According to my OB Gyne, the procedure won’t hurt, it will be the recovery that will give me some aches. I will be having tubal ligation after giving birth to my Sati. My OB says it will be more painful since I will still have some contractions days after birth and my fallopian tube is healing from the procedure. I hope I can tolerate the pain..

Popeye Spinach

I never thought Popeye is old. This is our menu a while ago. spinach in string beans and mushroom sauted in guava. Yum! I don’t have any problems when it comes to vegetables menu. The kids eat it with much gusto. As for their daddy who wants spinach eating as entertaining as TV, he says this what Popeye eats. And the two boys: Popeye who?!?

And since I am craving for this (mushroom tempura), I take out some mushroom and coated with flour, curry powder and salt and pepper. They call this chichars (short for crunchy food).
