I was just cleaning and organizing my in-law’s refrigerator with Manang Vcenta and I came across yogurt that has been expired from last year on the month of November and December. We realize the food was a lot and it is a waste of money. Manang Vcenta was concern what will her boss say about it. The problem is the person who bought the food that is expired was our old employer who is no longer working for us. We never knew what items are being purchased because during that time it was Ruth’s responsibility. We realized the old food and the newly purchase food wasn’t being rotated while it was stock up in the refrigerator or on the shelves. We realize how much money is going to waste, but you also need to think of the person who may end up eating it and how much it will harm someone else’s health. The fact that it is already expired too long we don’t want to risk other people to consume it and end up being food poison. We have to think how much it will cost if you are...

Coming from the Philippines and entering back to California my family will always ask what I want to eat from there. I would always tell them anything except Filipino food because I eat it every day at home. Even though you visit your family their favorite meal is always Filipino dishes made by someone they ordered for one week supply. There are some families who work hard to support their families and no time to cook a healthy meal. Other families find ways to feed their children who come home from school, work and so on they tend to pack meals ahead of time. The only thing their family needs to do is warm it up when they come home. Living in the States it becomes more efficient to find ways to eat a meal and not have to worry what your family will eat when you are not at home. I get stuck eating Filipino food because I am living with my family and I have no choice to eat what is served at the table. My sister and her family members love buying food from differe...

I have been craving for ravioli pasta and for some reason we don't have that here in the Philippines that you can purchase in the super market. I came across a new brand on Del Monte Spaghetti sauce with cream cheese. I decided to play by ear and see if this would work out on my taste buds. The food I was craving for and work my appetite in something different other than my usual pasta. I still had some cannelloni pasta in which I bought online. My son was craving for spinach to put in his pasta.

Last year when I went to California to visit my family due to my niece graduation and 18 th  birthday my mom and I spent so many days with our close friends who we always see every time we are in town. One of group of friends who are much older than me recommended places for my mom and I to visit. My mom began naming places she has never been too and would like in the future. 1.     Greece– Athens 2.     Portugal 3.     Spain 4.     New Mexico 5.     Hawaii 6.     Arizona – Grand Canyon Aunt Lily said, hey I want to travel with you and your mom. I will bring my daughter with me. I realize it would be great not only always meeting to eat out with our friends we can travel with each other. We can experience more things together and still be able to bond. As her daughter I am my mom’s personal assistance. My mom doesn’t know how to communicate in Facebook Messenge...

I have been so health conscious and my son complains to me that I should enjoy what I eat. He said, I should have a cheat day. He had told me when I eat a buffet restaurant I should not even think of not eating carborhydrates. I should be spurge on what I want to eat. Honestly I've already adapted myself eating healthy and it has already been a habit for me. My family loves eating at a buffet restaurant. I get over whelmed from all the food I am uncertain where to begin and what I should be eating first. The selection on the food is from Japanese, Chinese, Italian, American, Mexican, Filipino, Korean, Indian and Seafood. There are different section of food to choose from all depends on which buffet restaurant you decided to eat. In the Philippines people love eating at buffet restaurant and you always sees them not bring one plate full on the table. They have so many plates next to their side. Some people don't like getting one plate at a time they prefer ...

The 1More Stylish True Wireless in- Ear Headphones the difference is even if you are listening to music you can still hear the person talking to you. Talking with someone through your phone is very sharp and clear. I have found something better for me to use. I bought the 1More Stylish True Wireless in-Ear Headphones in Digital Walker Corp. located in Greenhills Shopping Center Unit V-342 Level 3 Floor, San Juan Greenhills. The best part buying from Digital Walker Corp. you get a discounted rate on what promo they have for the product when you purchase and there is a one year warranty as long it is not physical use. The price is PHP 3,490.00 ($70.00). The advantages in the Momax True Wireless Stereo when you really want peace you cannot hear anything from the background when you are listening to music. The con is the reception from talking to someone is not as sharp and clear. The other person who you are communicating with complains it is static on the...

I was able to try something different called, Chawadicup which is from Thailand. It is a new branch that I was able to discover. Other than drinking milk tea that we see so often people are now making fruit drinks by adding same topping on your milk tea, but in a healthy way. I wanted to try something different and decide on ordering the watermelon soul. Watermelon soul has a hint of lemon inside it is really refreshing taste. I had remove the champoy in my drink. I didn't want something sour and salty inside. You may check their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ChawadiCup/

My friend always tells me I have everything in life. She always tells me I have the money to buy what food I want to eat. I have the money what she can’t seem to buy for herself because she lives in a tight budget. My friend always compares me to her lifestyle. All my life I have always been compared from my childhood friends. They always say, I have more than what they wish they can have, but do they know all those stuff didn’t come from me. It came from my parents who have given me what they thought I needed. Yes, I may have greater things when I was young, but I was not handed through a silver spoon whom I have met from my parent’s friends who had kids my age. I also had to earn to gain what I wanted. I wasn’t happy what people said, to me. We all have family problems and that is a part of growing up. We learn from our mistakes and learn to not do it continuously as we get older. I don’t like it when my friends feel they have to compare me what they don’t or t...
