Practical home furnitures

I really enjoy the show; The World's Greenest Home. I enjoy the designs and the fact that they were made earth-friendly. If you notice too, most of them are designed by owners themselves, mostly architects. I also enjoyed viewing furniture pieces from tv stands, side tables, cabinets, kitchen tops and sets to bathroom accessories, flooring and carpet.

Anyway, here is one of the more amazing videos you'd probably seen already. I mean, we have that sofa bed but theirs is much cooler!

Sweaters

It's officially autumn. Pumpkins are all over the place, that was why I was prompted to cook ginataang kalabasa with shrimps.

Some of the  leaves of trees turned yellow now and the ground are covered with them when the wind blows. I can already feel the cool breeze. So most of the sweaters, boots and thick pants have been pulled out from their slumber...this is the time that my son (the one with bronchitis) should be kept warm to avoid heavy-breathing attacks.

It's also the best time to cook up soup but first learn new ones...

Burn!

I’ve been having stomach pains since lunch…I haven’t eaten rice the whole week and it has been my first time today. I think my stomach wasn’t used to digesting rice anymore.  I’ve been having lots of oatmeal and I think my tummy got used to the fiber, now, rice is too hard to digest. During the week, I had more hours on the wii doing aerobics, boxing and hula hoops…that’s my attempt on burning those stubborn fat. I could of course get those fat burning pills, that would be easier but I don’t really believe in them, well if you do, you can always check about stuff like thermogenic fat burners .

Tahoooooo!!!

(taho recipe here)

Growing up in the rural areas and during occasional stays in Manila, our mornings were defined and completed with a glass of taho (soy bean curd). The early callings of "Tahooooo!!!" during summer days meant it's time to get up. I clearly remember how my sister and I would beg Manong Magtataho to add some more of the syrup he'd put in meagerly. At Php1.00 a glass, we would sit down happily and finish our taho before going back to play.

On our last trip home, we brought the kids to the La Mesa Ecopark in Fairview. We promised them we'll go horseback-riding but the plan was always postponed. Living near Tagaytay, we can actually go there easily but circumstances led us driving back to Quezon City so we sought the nearest park to bring the kids, to fulfill our promise. While on our way to the stables (farmville?) a taho vendor came near us and the excited hubby immediately asked for some coins...but to our surprise, a cup costs Ph20.00! :D (Sabi ni Manong, kasi daw sa loob ang benta at mahal ang cup haha.)

Nevertheless, that didn't stop the hubby from buying. It has been years since we have had taho and it would surely be nice for the kids to learn about this high-protein energy wonder! We didn't get the chance to introduce them to taho on our previous visits.

So off we went to the stables. There were only two horses available to rent. :D I think they were the local horses since they're small compared to what I was used to seeing or perhaps they're just ponies waiting to grow up hehe. The kids had fun anyway, we also went around the park but I'd tell those stories sooner or later.

P.S. The past days have been a battle between foodbloggers and a certain "Kusinero" who has been copying content (photo and write-up) and putting them on his Facebook page and blogger account. After reports and warnings, the blogger blog was shut down, the pages removed but there are still some that has remained. We are encouraging everyone to be vigilant of plagiarist and copycats out there. We do not want our own works being copied right? haays....have a nice weekend everyone!
