Good news and bad incident collide

It was Valentines Day, when the accident happened. He is the Manager in our department. Apparently, He supposed to attend a client call on that day. He informed me that he will not going back to the office. The place is near in the office so that he decided to walk. He was on the pedestrian lane going to the other side, a car bumped him. In the blink of an eye he found himself on the side walk of the road. Fortunately, the driver and the owner of the car rushed him to the nearest hospital. The first thing that came to his mind is to call his Assistant in the office about the accident.

After office hour that day we went to the hospital to visit him. I felt touch with the story of his wife, she told us that before the accident happened she received a text message from his husband invited her for a dinner after his meeting with the client. Until, she received a call about the accident. According to the Doctor his left Arm and Leg has injured and he’s out of danger. The company gave him an indefinite leave until he recovers. After three months of recovery. One day, I was surprised when I saw him. He is now in good shape but still needs to take weekly therapy. He told us that his going to leave the company very soon because his Application for immigrant was approved. It is granted the same day when the accident had happened. Actually, he doesn't expect that it will be approved after 4 years. He is very excited about it.

The Singing Bee

Recently, I watched the new Game Show on television entitled The Singing Bee hosted by Cesar Montano. The Studio looks great and the musicians are fantastic. I like the concept of the game. They have live band and singers during the show and also a line of audiences. It’s not a usual videoke game show that you have to sing the lines and then fill-in the blank. As I watched it, it gives me excitement to know when to stop the singer to sing and the players have to continue the song with the right lyrics or else the players will be out of the game. In the final countdown which is the championship round the player must sing at least 5 songs out of 7 and they allow making 3 mistakes only. The funny side of the show are almost of the player can’t sing well and even the professional singer which is stands as a player had a hard time in the lyrics of the song. It is a very entertaining game show.

I learned how to cook

I’ve been watching culinary show on television since my teen-age year. I’m very interested in cuisine so that every time I watch. I’ll make sure that I write it down to my notes every single detail of the meal. It seems to me that it so easy to cook food that’s why I also collect some clippings of menu in the Magazine and labeled-products then I posted it in the notebook. My compilations of recipes are arranged into groups such as dessert, pasta, meat, fish, veggies and chicken so that I can easily find.

I started cooking when I was 15 yrs old. Actually, frying of foods is the only thing that I can do and it took me time to make it perfect. Afterwards, I tried to cook some of the recipes that I collected in the book. I enjoy it from the preparation of ingredients to the actual cooking. Sometimes, when some of ingredients are not available I used other option but then I’ll make sure that it will not compromise the taste of it. It feels like I‘m just playing while cooking although it really needs to take some energy and creativity to make a tasty food. I cooked occasionally and in my free time. I feel happy when they like the taste of the food.

It's Organic!

People are getting health conscious to the food that they eat. Many of them prepared not only nutritious but also organically grown products in their food. Actually, there are many kinds of organic products in the market like fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, eggs, cooking oils, even cosmetic are bunching in store shelves.

For me, there are many reasons to buy organic products. Research shows that pesticides and other contaminants are more prevalent in foods we eat, in our bodies, and in the environment as well. Studies shows that by eating organic foods can reduce exposure to the potential health risk associated with those chemicals. Despite the fact that not all organic-labelled products offer added health value but under the judgment by a panel of tasters, that apples which is organically grown are sweeter taste and firmness in texture than those grown conventionally.

You can add more organic products to your shopping list without busting your budget because there are many ways to save on the cost of organic products. First, you can do comparison shop, Go local farmer’s markets and other sources, Join the farm team and buy a share in a community supported by organic farm, Order by mail who can ship items and offer home deliveries, and lastly, be a supermarket spy; to make sure that you will get what you pay for by watching where it produced.

Wine lovers

Most of the wines are made in Grapes. It’s fermenting the juice from grapes along with the skins. Grape skin provides red wine with its color while white wine is made without the use of grape skin.

Mainly, Red wine is good for us! Wine lovers were glad to find out that there were studies that wine is, in fact, beneficial to our health. But, it is important that you have to know the specifics of these benefits so that this can be able to serve your body better. However, to those who don’t drink with alcohol there are non-alcoholic wines. The benefits of alcohol may stem primarily from red wine. This could explain the stronger effect seen in women, since women tended to choose wine, where as almost half of men liked beer.

To attain the wonderful benefits in wine is to drink it moderately. When we say moderately you have to drink 4 oz. glass or two each day, one glass for women and one to two glasses for men Otherwise, too much drinking of wine won’t benefit from its disease prevention qualities.

Vegetables

Nowadays, Children are really hard to feed vegetables. You can’t trick them because they can easily know it on the color. Guilty! I was one of them. There are times they were choosy in food that they want to eat and become a picky eater. I bet! One of their favorite meals is chicken especially when it is fried. Well, I love chicken too. I remember when I was a child my mother used to cook vegetables mostly everyday. She was very strict when it comes to food. Also, she was always reminds me about the nutrition that I can get on it; which is I memorized it already.

At that time, my Grand mother gave me a teaspoonful of bitter melon leaves extract. She told me that this is good for my health. Hmmp… it seems they were conniving against me! At first, I was doubful to take it because I knew that it was not a vitamin and when I tasted it; there so much bitter on my tongue that I almost cried to swallow. They won! Gradually, I began to like the taste of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. It is become a part of my daily meal.

Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee

Actually, there are conflicting beliefs about the Health Benefits of Coffee. Coffee drinkers are less susceptive to certain ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease, Gallstone, Diabetes, Depression and Parkinson’s disease. It has also natural Antioxidants that can be found in ground coffee and coffee beans.

On the other hand, Coffee also has extremely high caffeine content. It can provide a sudden boost of energy, but also can cause long term health ailments if consumed too much, such as a heart rate increase, high blood pressure, or irregular heartbeat. Coffee is also highly in acidic, which can cause a decrease in oxygen fluids in the body and build up of lactic acid.

I have good news, for those who doesn't need to limit their caffeine intake, there is Decaf coffee that has most of the caffeine removed.
