Im still on the lookout for things that can help me make better life choices - read: healthy choices. Im still struggling with weight loss, and I have to admit my focus on that area of my life is like a swing - going up and down all the time. So I stumbled upon the Food Connect web site - http://www.foodconnect.com. It got me interested so I signed up because they say it’s like the Facebook version for food fanatics. So I surfed for some recipes, surprised that the recipes are actually submission from other members of the network. And get this - they are even analyzed for free for nutritional content! I like the idea of the web site. For one thing, you can add recipes to your favorite folder. From the favorite folder, you can build your menu - one step easier than finding recipes on other web sites. Plus, and this is what drew me in big time, after planning the menu, you can now generate your shopping list! So you just print out the shopping and list and shop! All this can be done on the site!

I have to share that Im an eggplant freak lately. I have realized that it is such a great meat extender (it would help me in my diet too) that I can eat eggplant in different versions all week!

And since Im a pasta lover, what recipe would I recommend better than the Eggplant Lasagne.Enjoy! And let me know what you think!

I know gold has been more popular than silver ever since. But did you know that silver is getting its worth now? If you can, you need to invest on silver buillions.World demand for silver now exceeds annual production, and has every year since 1990. Above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero. I even think in the next decade or so, its value will really decrease. You can them in coin or ingot forms at the Mondex Deposit Company — and even have them arrange to take care for you. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s silver and precious metals investment leader.

Dont you find it hard to find gifts for persons closest to your heart, like your parents or husband or wife? I do. Im so stumped on what to give to my Mom. I will be giving her an album of her kids and grandchildren but other than that Im still pretty stumped. Then I had a BRILLIANT idea! (Im sure everyone knows this!) How about I give her flowers! Flowers can be given at any special occasion even everyday. But you can give high quality flowers as well.

On a second thought, I’d want to send flowers to my godmother as well. She has helped me ever since and is really fit to be called a “GodMother.” She doesnt only send gifts during my birthday or the holidays, she sees to it that she keeps in touch with me, knows my plans and even supports me in what I do. She even let me go ahead and study a new course even if I had Matthew already. What do you give a person who you think have everything right? Just a token of appreciation. And flowers are the best sign for it.

It is a good thing I have come across an international flower delivery service called 2Flowers.com. They accept dollars and euors and all flower deliveries are done by premium florists and handcarried and not delivered by courier! They even have version of their web site in native languages. For English, go to the flowers usa site. For Spanish languages, go to the flores eeuu web site!

The whole afternoon was spent thinking about our impending migration to the US and how I can be a stay at home mom. I worry about Matthew and Martha’s education knowing how expensive matriculation could be. My mom said home schooling can be an option. True. Home schooling will enable us to spend time together while getting good quality education and moral foundations. Then we can focus more on what matters most, family.

Would it not be nice to have free Home school? She showed me an article online talking about K-12 Free Homeschool. Here’s how it can be tuition-free. They offer tuition-free courses to US based students with the help of sponsorship from companies and NGOs. They also support moral foundation based on Christian teaching. Having come from a very catholic and religious family, imparting my religious belief and faith to my kids is part of my top priorities. While reading through their website I wonder though if they will have good programs as such from regular private Christian schools and lo and behold, their course catalog includes a comprehensive program that includes not only the usual academic courses but also arts, music and other cognitive skill enhancing courses such as Crime Scene Investigation. All that for FREE! Can you imagine? I need to check out the K-12FreeHomeschool.org Course Catalog now!

So much for bed weather :(.

Got this from Diane’s blog:

There is a typhoon that will soon hit Bicol region and we are so nervous already because of the trauma we experienced last year. Please do pray for the people of Bicol region. I saw a lot of people outside evacuating and hurriedly packing their things. I just hope that the typhoon will be not that much strong like of the last year.

If you want to know where is the typhoon already please go to MayBagyo.com.

She is a friend I have met from scrapping and she also posted this on our scrappers’ forum:

People here in Bicol region are already nervous for the coming typhoon. Nasa signal number 3 na kami. Buti at may kuryente pa kami. I’ve seen a lot of families evacuating already. Masyadong tramatized na ang mga tao dito dahil sa bagyo last year na kumitil ng maraming tao.

I am asking for your prayers na sana maging ok ang lahat dito at sana humina na ang bagyo.

Sa lahat ng mga taga Manila prepare na din kau kasi alam ko papunta dyan ang bagyo. Ingat! And lets all pray together.

Let us all pray the typhoon will not wreak as much havoc as the last.

Whenever I get bored, I do not read nor watch TV. I surf the internet, chat, scrap or play games. There is a website called midoritech.com that offers mahjong and solitaire. My grandmother loves to play mahjong and I had to learn it online so we can play with her. The site has mac games as well. Matthew likes the Yoodoo games and my niece plays the beauty salon and ladybugs games. It has even been bookmarked at our browser already!

The problem with parenting web site and books these days is that there is no section where it discusses practical things and parent recommended things. It is actually quite impractical to recommend baby products or baby stores in a book which will be stored in publication for a long time. In three years, trends change and new discoveries emerge which will rended the recommendations pretty useless. That is why doing research online does the trick! I belong to a mommy group list online and we trade tips and recommendations on what is the best hair salon for the kids, where to get party suppliers, what foods to avoid giving to toddlers, etc. The Knot, Inc. recently launched LilaGuide.com, the first hub for real parent reviews of local baby stores and services online.Based on the popular Lilaguide local Zagat-like book series, this massive search engine packages first hand parent ratings and candid commentary with easy-to-find contact information for family-friendly eateries, activities, service providers, and baby gear retailers, as well as reviews of virtually every baby product on the market. Lilaguide.com is a division of The Knot Inc.

Who doesn’t want to be their own boss? Everybody dreams to have a business of their own, especially moms like me. I need to work to supplement my husband’s income, and I am always hoping to be able to have a business of my own which I can operate at home so I can be with my kids. Stay at home moms wish for the same. They want job opportunities at home so they can help with household expenses and have money of their own. I have been scouring the web for home-based business ideas and the usual ideas were direct selling, bookkeeping, transcription and of course, crafts. If you are good at a particular craft, why not sell your goods? Of course, apart from the business idea, you will need help starting it up, maintaining it and marketing it. Marketing is crucial since you work from home and are limited to advertising other than word of mouth or through the internet. Home Based Business Tips are accessible through www.atouchofbusiness.com. They have loads of articles and information which you will surely need for your business at home. I actually have been reading their tips one day at a time because I really want to sink it all in. It is easy to get overwhelmed with ideas and information!

Home Based Business Guides are also available for you to refer to. I actually like the Business Start Up Guide for Small and Home Based Business article as it has served as my checklist and gauge whether I am ready for this or not. If you already operate a business from home, maybe you can benefit from the Business Trouble Shooting Guide article they have as well.

If you would like help how to market your business and don’t know where to go or start because of a limited budget, refer to the site’s Small Business Marketing Tips. Their tips are actually very reasonable and doable. Sentences are concise, well-written and very easy to understand. I would refer to this web site all the time especially since I plan to stop working next year already.
