Captured Moments: Calachuchi Fruit
At first I thought this is just another sprout on
our calachuchi but after more than two weeks, no leaves were coming out from
any part of this one. Upon checking, the said “sprout” comes from the wilted
flower. Tita (Matt’s nanny) was also surprised for this is the first time she
saw a calachuchi bearing fruits. Now I am waiting for it to ripen and will
collect the seeds and plant them.
How about you, have you seen calachuchi bearing
fruits too?

Healing Galing Products: Healing Oil
 |
| Healing Oil |
I remember a lady suffering from stage 4 breast cancer. following the holistic approach instructed to her, for less than a month, her cancer was cured. Same with a lady with myoma as large as infant’s head was removed after a week of treatment.
One way in order to attain its effectiveness is by having a hot compress first to open the skin pores followed by massaging until the skin can no longer absorb the oil. Another hot compress is done to ensure that the oil will penetrate deeply. For the ailments targeting the internal parts, there are special procedures.
In our house, we never let this product out of stock. We used this in cases of emergencies. For example, Matt has chapped lips, during humid weather. After applying the oil and left overnight, his lips went back to normal. Mommy uses this one to massage my MIL spine which makes her tremors (Parkinson’s disease) reduced and she feels a bit better compared before.
For the price of 450 pesos per 60-ml is not bad.
For interested, you may visit their office located at Brgy. Talipapa, Novaliches, Quezon City. Here's how to go to Healing Galing main office.

Changing Diaper: A Dad's Experience
 |
| Photo Source: GoesHealth.com |
Many dads are unaware of
how to change diapers of their kids especially the new ones. However, this is
not always the case. For a hands-on dad like me, I consider this as part of
being a dad and I am really proud of it. During my paternal leave, I used to
help mommy on some baby duties since she underwent CS delivery. I used to
prepare water for the bath, help mommy in bathing Matt, change diaper especially
at night.
I just want to share my 10 easy steps on how to change dirty diapers to give idea on fathers-to-be, of course for mothers
too.

Weekend Reflection: Spend Wisely
My last week’s
reflection pertains to depositing the positive attitude. Now it is about life
and coins.
There are times that we never thought how we spend our life which usually ends up with so many regrets. Remember that we only live once so we need to spend our life wisely.
Have a nice weekend!

Confession of a Dad
One sunday, while
crocheting, Matt approached me and keeps on pulling my hands. He wants me to
play with him outside but I still continue on crocheting. Then he suddenly said
something that makes me stop and think for a while.
Matt: Daddy, maya na gagantsilyo ha! (Daddy,
do your crochet later, okay?)
For a two year old
boy, he may not know the meaning of what he said and it is up to you on how you
respond to such statement. Hearing those words makes me feel guilty and thought
that he is just asking my attention even for a while.
I immediately set my
things aside and go out and have a walk with him.
Kitchen Tips: Microwave Your Citrus
 |
| Calamansi |
Cirtus fruits like lemon, lime and calamansi are being
paid for their juices. To maximize the amount of juice you can get, microwave
your citrus for 10 seconds in medium-high to high setting before squeezing. This
will yield twice as much juice.

Summer is getting more intense every year. Many

temperature, caused by environmental heat exposure with deficiency on thermoregulation.
How do we prevent this
illness? Here are some:

Swinging Matt
Every afternoon, Matt
and Tita (his nanny), take a walk around the subdivision. They never missed
going to the clubhouse and take a sit on his favorite ride – the swing. He can already control his balance.
Here are some photos
of him while on the swing with his favorite lollipop.

Weekend Reflection: Deposit the Positive
Just before we go to attend the mass in nearby subdivision and Baby Blast 4 in Trinoma, Here is a short post to reflect on.
Our mind is like a bank that we can store many things. If you frequently store positive thoughts, you will withdraw the same. Just like depositing money in the bank, you will gain and interest of JOY.
Have a nice weekend!

Projects: Improvised Mosquito Trap
After placing indoor plants with air-purifying
function, we must also consider that it will be a good hide-out for mosquitoes.
We know that mosquitoes carry various microorganisms that could lead to illness
like dengue, malaria and many more. I just want to share an improvised mosquito
trap I got from the net.
You will need:
Empty 1.5-L or 2-L Softdrinks PET bottle
¼ cup clean hot water
50 grams brown sugar
1 gram yeast

Captured Moments: Campaign Posters
(Warning: This post contains several photos that may cause few minutes to load completely)
The campaign period
for the local election is already started last week. From there on up to
present, I noticed that there is a big change on the scenery on our way to work
particularly in the San Jose Del Monte-Marilao Road (along Prenza-Loma de Gato
area). The roadside looks like trash due to emerging pasting of posters/banners
of the candidates for the local elections. Walls, electrical posts, trees,
waiting sheds, as well as bridge were not excused from these posters. These were an eyesore for me.

Experience of a Dad-To-Be
Three
years ago, my wife told me that she was a month delayed on her monthly period.
I immediately thought that she was pregnant with our first child. The following
day, I bought PT Kit and was very happy to know that in 9 months-time; I will
be a full-pledged dad. I think I was more excited than Mommy that time. LOL
After few
days, we went to OB for a check-up. Before the check-up, I was bit nervous that there is a risk of having twins since this genetic trait runs in my mother side’s blood and I
know that male are mostly the carriers. Mommy told me that
she will be happy if we will have twins especially if it is fraternal
(a boy and a girl). Not a bad idea though. What I was worried about having
twins is how we dress them. Do we need to make them looks the same especially if
they are identical?

A Wish Granted
 |
| My long wished Nikon D3100 (Visit Nikon site for product details) |
On Mommy’s post for my birthday, she asked me if I want to get my long-wished DSLR before she
changed her mind. Unfortunately, I read her post a day after my birthday. I
asked her if I can still have my DSLR. She said: “Wala na. Nagbago na isip ko. Sabi ko sa’yo basahin mo na post ko.”
(No more. I already changed my mind. I told you to read on my post.). Instead, she gave me consideration that when we gathered half of DSLR’s price from our sales at Momaye’s Shoppe, we will buy it.

Weekend Reflections: How Would You Respond?
Some believe in
destiny. They think that everything happen for a purpose. Worst, they will let destiny

We need to have at least 6 hours of sleep every night
to keep our body healthy. During our sleep, our body is making self-detoxification process. But what if you have difficulty getting your
sleep at night? Some would suggest taking sleeping pills. Is this effective? How about the side effects? Why not try to solve it naturally? How?

Holy Week Staycation
While others enjoying
their out of town trips, we spent the holy days at home so I haven't much to share.
I made a post on our
plans for the holy week but none of them where accomplished especially on Maundy
Thursday and Good Friday. We are still busy finishing some orders at Momaye’s Shoppe. Every afternoon we take rest from crocheting by having walk
at the clubhouse as requested by our little boy.

The Howling Dog
Matt is afraid of
the sound of howling dog of our neighbor especially at night. I even downloaded one to make him stay on the bed while we are crocheting.
One night, he
doesn’t want to sleep so I tried to imitate the sound.
Mommy: Hala Matt,
anjan na yung umaalulong na aso! Tulog ka na para hindi ka kunin! (Oh Matt,
there’s the howling dog. Go to sleep so it will not get you!)
Kitchen Tips: Natural Meat Tenderizer
 |
| Papaya Seeds |
Last night, I cooked sinigang na pata. Cooking this
part of pork will really take time to make it tender. I remember about
Papain – the natural meat tenderizer. So, I added few pieces of papaya seeds
and it really worked!

Best Indoor Plants
Plants do not only add beauty at home. In
fact, they also help making our home a healthy place for everyone. Some serve as “air filters” removing some impurities which lead to asthma, allergies
and others.
Here are some recommended indoor plants that
help in purifying air inside our home.
 |
| Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea) |
This eliminates formaldehyde. It is also called as natural humidifier since it
can transpire enough amount of water daily.
