    Read 12/07 blog about experiments on vegan diet of mostly fruits & nuts, some veggies @ 80% per 1 theory, w/ protein & fat, both @ 10% each. Try 4 30-day trial.

  • 20090601-Fruity Stuff

    Yeah, so Paw ALWAYS eats his favorite fruits for breakfast – sliced and peeled, respectively: FUJI apple and navel oranges. Comme lui, je mange la banana for lunch.

  • 20090529-Still Stuck

    Enslaved w/ nagging @ home, to be forced & kept busy against my lazy will, to eat delicious food lovingly cooked in Teflon skillet & aluminum woks or mcr-waved.

  • 20090528-Food Garden

    Via Maw, learned the joy of growing apricot, banana pepper, brocoli, eggplants, green onion, kabocha, kumquat, lemon, persimmon, pomelo, tomatoe, spinach, zucchini.

  • 20090528-Food Scares

    Ever notice how alleged FLU epidemic appears to cause FEAR? Seriously, it’s a subliminal wake up call to stop eating BIRD, SWINE & pals. Spirits of animals speak.

  • 20090528-Eating Much

    During my senior year in high school I weighed 120 pounds. This was due to not eating well. I tried eating no meat. And guess what? My acne cleared up, mainly from eating little to no oil or fat, that sort of stuff that’s clogging my system now.

    Go forward over some twenty years later, I’ve gained more pounds, looked thicker and wore larger-sized clothes. I will admit I felt really sluggish, more tired and sleepy, if it means taking naps during the day, that is what I’ve been doing recently.

    Wouldn’t be nice to go back to being the weight and fit in clothes during high school? I would! And if that means to cut back on food and exercising more, that’s been an on going resolution around New Year’s that never seemed to be fulfilled? Why?

    It’s because Maw cooks ALL the time. It’s good to smell and good to eat when someone lovingly prepares food to feed the family. And we eat three meals a day with sometimes three to five types of dishes to choose from her cooking, take-outs or a combination of both.

    Paw, however, has been good about cutting back on his carbohydrate intake (i.e. rice, a staple and familiar food among us ASIANS). But with Maw’s dismay and constant badgering on a count that skinny men look sickly, especially when extra flesh hangs on older folks, it’s difficult to say NO!

    With the potential cut-backs on Medicare and Social Security, it will be to everyone’s advantage to eat healthier and live yet another day; while avoiding the pitfalls of paying higher medical costs to maintain sick and dying bio-units.

    So before anyone’s systems becomes too clogged up with sweets, meats and other empty, nutritional treats, people should learn to eat a well-balanced diet. Start by avoiding canned soft drinks (including the ones with fake sugar) and any snacks that doesn’t look like fruits and veggies.

    In other words, prepare your own food. Y’all save LOTS of money in the long run. For example, buying a sandwich is worth ONE loaf of bread! Buying coffee or juice is worth ONE container that will last several doses. Imagine being your own cook!

    It takes lots of creativity to buy the ingredients (organic is preferable), preparation to get the shapes of the ingredients a certain way, and patience to cook and flavor. Personally, I’m a lazy girl and that means finding someone to slop me some chow – on demand!

    But I digress! Although eating is fun and habit forming, getting fat is no fun. It hurts the body by adding more stress to the heart pumping to larger areas and pain to the joints bearing a larger load, contributes to stretch marks of the skin and, basically, makes buying clothes much harder!

    So yeah, stop eating you bunch of sack-cows and be the thinner (not anorexic) model that wants to come out and show the whole world (and your children) what a beautiful person you are on the INSIDE as well as the OUTSIDE. Good luck with you weight, too. Hehe!

  • 20090527-Good Food

    Ate @ Carinos Italian Grill (Fremont, CA) 4 lunch. Had ‘Angel Hair Pasta w/ Artichoke’. Very light, good portion & lots of black olives, my favorite for $8.99..

  • 20090519-Daily Diary

    I awoke to cool morning & gray clouds; attended 0800 mass; ate breakfast of white toast and eggs; vacuumed & washed car; used air compressor on tires, engine & vents; used leaf blower to dry my car and dirt from front of house; got more of the farmer’s tan with the sunshine; blew leaves from backyard; ate lunch with brat, who brought his $60 garden gnome (of red cap, blue outfit, darkly tanned skin and a beige watering can for our use under the pomelo tree), thanked him for coming over and bringing back our two hollow blocks and photo albums; played with the parakeets; showered and pooped. Enjoying view of trees dancing to the cool, afternoon breeze. Preparing to deposit measly $40.00 to bring zero balance at other bank.

  • 20090517-40th Jubilee

    Celebrated Father ‘Mill’ 40th priesthood in our parish. Ate food, listened to ‘Luna de la Paz’ entertain. Pissed @ clown for blocking handicapped parking. Hot day!

  • 20090516-Feels Hot

    Today’s sunny & clear blue skies! Feels like 90ºF. Usually very hot during July. Thought maybe a time warp by 2 months: munched on cereal w/ milk @ front door..

  • 20090512-Strange Syncs

    Last night while eating dinner, I called out ‘Maw’ and something else. ‘Squirrel’ visited the house around 11:40AM but we were just pulling up the driveway!

    I knew that we were going to have a ‘male’ visitor the following day because a fork dropped to the wooden floor. If it was a spoon a ‘female’ would be a visitor the following day.

    Today’s at McDonald’s for breakfast, I gagged on a Sausage McGriddle, which cost $1.00. I looked up and saw Humberto, the old Mexican man who cleans up the place, looked in my direction and winked at me as he passed by our table from left to right and towards the two bathroom at the end of the aisle.

    Gagging on food or liquid means someone is thinking about the person.

    I swear! the old sayings of Filipinos are true as per the two above examples!

  • 20090509-Friggin’ Rumors

    To Brats and pals:

    OMG! I think there is this one very HYPER auntie spreading stuff from quitting my job to take care of my parental units, collecting employment benefits to buying stuff over the phone or television or whatever in our garage, which she hasn’t visited since our growing years!

    Please be careful what you hear by the relatives! It’s better to talk to moi in person, a star witness, and I’ll relay my ‘interpretation’ to the best of my Ingrish! We’ve nothing to hide but our sheer anger for MORONS, like y’all!

    Here is a run-down of my crap that I shared:

    • Dancing disco: I’ve only been to those places about five or six times during my early twenties and never went back ever since I couldn’t hear what people were saying over the loud music.
    • Held indoors: I’m not being held to ‘do whatever I want’ against my free-will over the years. I don’t travel well without my own pillows and the comfort of my bed, access to the toilet and free food from the frig. I value my privacy, don’t converse well with people due to being tested for some deafness and cling to my only best friends, my parental units! I’m too stubborn to ‘try harder’ on my own! It’s my sad choice even while being kicked out of the nest. I’m afraid, really.
    • Having money: IDIOTS! Don’t be jealous of my parental units, who worked very hard for over thirty years without any financial aide from relatives whatsoever and NO knowledge of scamming investment opportunities or the use of debit or credit cards! For crying out loud, most old timers don’t know how to work electronic gadgets! Over the growing years, they saved what they could in CASH by not eating out in restaurants (and cooking at home with food purchased from the Commissary store), buying only a few clothes at a time (from the Navy Exchange) and paying down their mortgage in twenty years. Now they can enjoy their retirement and share what they have with others. Wise stuff for those willing to learn.
    • Having friends: We don’t have ‘friends’ in the normal senses but have acquaintances who are not very close and attend church. We don’t join those various religious frauds, by the way. We would have liked to be better friends with the relatives but their EGOS and short-comings in life prevent for better understanding and communication. Meh!
    • Taking sides: We talk to people who want to listen to us and who need to be heard, regardless of their past history. Get REAL losers and just talk about life if you have a mouth to flap wide open and don’t have anything to fear or hide through WHITE-LIES! Those that fail to open their stubborn minds should just GO AWAY!
    • Owning assets: Take your soul or leave it. Choose wisely FOOLS!
