We went to the flea market last Sunday without any plans on what to buy. Actually, we didn't have much money with us - just enough to buy munchies (nothing more for stuff like circuit city). How silly was that when you are at a place where fresh produce are cheap. At least, the good thing is, I was also able to buy green mango for a buck. The stall owner was I think a Filipina and she said it is crunchy, true enough.

So, I openned a bottle of shrimp paste that I bought almost 2 months ago. Yum! It's been more than 2 years since I had some in the Philippines. Bulong sa hidlaw gid.

Summer means abundance of stone fruit - one of them is lychee. My little boy is really keen on them. We buy them every week. He eats them like meat. They're sweet that's why.

But I wonder what's in lychee?
Scientists and nutritionists acknowledged the fruit as a healthy food, with high levels of vitamin C and flavanoids rich in antioxident properties, though not until recent medical studies was the full potential of lychee recognized by the medical community.

A study done at Zhejiang Gongshang University in Hangzhou, China revealed some of the curative effects of lychee. The flavonoids found in lychee fruit pulp were found to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and appeared to be especially effective against human breast cancer.

There aren't many sources in the internet for the lychee nutritional benefits (unlike motorhome towing) but reading that Chinese recognise it, makes me happy as we all know that Chinese lead healthy lifestyles.

As some of us if not most thinks that scrubbing thorougly - or cleaning to the max helps to have a healthy skin but study shows that too much scrubbing in the shower or bath washes the necessary oil required by the skin to regenerate. When washing, do it gently and in circular motion, this way it will help the blood to flow in the skin.

Plus, drink plenty of water or simply don't let it dry. So eat juicy fruit and a balanced diet.

So avoid too much exposure to dry air (I'm not referring to 4396508 of the fridge). Lol. And moisturise, moisturise and moisturise.

This one is really iteresting. Witchetty grub is a creepy-crawly that you get on the ground - homing on the roots of a dead tree (as far as I know). It's a food in the outback Australia. But you can get it from your local supermarket - although I haven't seen any in our shops here. It is sought for being high in protein ( not reallyglucosamine sulphate)

Back in the Philippines, I saw people eating them raw also. But I think what we have there was the queen of the termite colony.

You Are a Tuna Fish Sandwich



Some people just don't have a taste for you. You are highly unusual.

And admit it, you've developed some pretty weird habits over the years.

You may seem a bit unsavory from a distance, but anyone who gives you a chance is hooked!Your best friend: The Club Sandwich.Your mortal enemy: The Turkey Sandwich



I'm not really a bread eater unless it's garlic bread. But I do love sandwiches from time to time and tuna is one of them. I like to make my own. Oh, I don't really like turkey may it be in sandwiches or on a proper meal.

If you're trying to loose weight, certainly you don't need turkey, do you? I suggest do you research and read maybe a bit of the relacore review. It might like you or likewise.

it's hot in here but it might be cold there. And cold is very common on winter. Got one? Brew a nice cup of tea or cuppa. Better yet, a warm lemon-juice - I used to do this when I don't feel good (no I wasn't trying different type of weight loss products).

Studies show that drinking warm beverage is better than room temperature drink when you have a cold.

Well, even my boss' mum said, I nice hot cuppa will surely cool you down.

Wonder why Mediterranean people are happy? Well, some of that are attributed to their food. Olives, fresh seafood, hummus. These food contains beneficial fat (brain food), B Vitamins (anti-stress) and anti-oxidants.


And of course, partly is the weather. That's another story though.

Well, to be happy.. eat the happy food, go out in the sun and have some laugh. I'm sure best wrinkle cream is a thing of the past.
