Organic Parade

I took Malcolm to the clinic for his long-due MMR jab yesterday. He’s very small sized but healthy. The nurse there asked me about his diet and i told he’s still fully on breastmilk at 15 months old. Malcolm doesnt really like to eat, and he’s a light sleeper too. This combination is not going to make him grow big fast, lol. Anyway, coming back to his diet. I make him porridge each day. And you know what the nurse told me. She asked me to add some margarine to his porridge, WTF. They really dont know much about diet, do they. Margarine is nothing but transfat, which is really bad for our body. How can she recommend that to a baby’s diet. Anyway, i dont have the time to correct her as they all think highly of themselves. I told her he’s on organic grains and i add a little organic olive oil, not margarine, and marmite to his porridge each time. But i feel bad how many ignorant mothers blindly followed her advice and fed their babies margarine.

Bought this Tao Kae Noi crispy seaweed snack from Watson’s the other day. It’s delicious and has a mild tomato flavor. I chose tomato as i thought my kid will like it. Too bad he took a small bite and said, “Mm Mai”. And shoved it back at me. there are other flavors too. I’m going to buy them all when i go there next time. Wont be long.

Hubby asked me just now if i’d like to build our dream house next time if we can afford it. He’s been to many new housing projects and didnt find even one that he likes. He may like the house exterior design, but the interior layout isnt what he expected it to be. Those that he likes are way out of our budget. And he doesnt like condo-living as there is no space for our kids to run about and play in the evening.

We may be living with our old folks now, but we love the place very much as it’s a corner house with a nice piece of land beside it and also a huge playground right across the street. But i do know that we have to move out one day when our children are bigger and wants their own room. If we are not able to buy a house that we like, we will buy ours;eves a nice house plan to our specification from houseplansandmore.com. I found that it has a lot of Log Cabin House Plans, English Cottage House Plans and also Small Ranch House Plans for sale. There are many other designs listed on the left sidebar. You may want to hop over to the site and check it out for yourself. Who knows, you may find a house plan that you like and build your dream house too.

One of the best events in life must be moving to a new house; a place to finally call home. I’ve been living with my in-laws since the day i moved back from the city. I have no plans to move out yet but that doesnt mean i dont have to go house-hunting. I’ve to a few new housing projects and i like those house deigns. It’s just too bad that they are located too far away from the city center. I dont like to drive long distances everyday just to send my kids to and from school and to run my errands.

My friend is having her housewarming party this weekend and hubby asked me to get her a nice gift. He suggested something that she will definitely use and not something ornamental. I have a choice of personalized doormats but dont like the idea of people stepping on my gift, lol. Then there are those custom address plaques or house signs which i think will make her house look very elegant. I think everyone will WOW each time they stand at her door. I’ll definitely get one of those for my house when i buy mine next time. I’m sure she’ll like that.

A few of my friends left behind the comfort of their home country to try their luck at a foreign country thinking that they might earn more money that way and hopefully provide a better life for their wife and kids who stayed behind. Mike had some connections and had accommodation in Edinburg by the time he arrived. Unfortunately for Kenny, his friend was no where to be found and he was left all alone to find his way around his new place.

He stayed at some Cheap Hotels in Edinburg until he ran out of money and had to call his wife to send some money over so that he can leave for home. What he didnt know was that even though there are many cheap hotels in Edinburg, the foreign exchange is favorable to him at all. Moreover, he’s jobless as he is unable to obtain a work permit. He was lucky he returned home safely.

I have a few friends who’ve been working in Edinburg for a few years already.They told me to visit Edinburg in Christmas as it’s a very interesting place to be. Edinburgh comes to lives in the winter special events like markets, fun fairs, things to see and things to do. Edinburg’s the place to be when it comes to seasonal thrills. You may want to stop by Edinburg if you happen to be in England for Christmas.

One of my male blog buddies told me what a man really wants is to go home to a good meal at the end of the day. It’s that simple. Too bad i cant cook. But he did say that if i were to start my cooking journey, he will buy me some new aprons as he knows one is not enough for me, lol. I think it’s time i learn to cook a few simple dishes to make my man happy. But i just hope my mother-in-law wont scream at me for messing her kitchen up. She’s a great cook. That’s why i dont have to cook

My brother-in-law just got back from Hawaii last week. He took his wife and kid for a short holiday there and stayed at a very cosy Hawaii beach house facing the ocean. He told me it’s so therapeutic listening to the waves at night. It’s like singing a lullaby that sends him to sleep almost as soon as his head touches the pillow. Yes, i’d like that too. I take a long time to fall asleep. But if i cannot afford to go to Hawaii, then i’ll buy myself one of those sound machines that produce just that for me, lol. Anyway, he told me if i were to go there for a holiday, i’d better go check out both Hawaii Travel Blog and read up on those Kauai Travel Info first before i book anything. There are lots of great deals this time of the year. Are you going anywhere this year end? Yes? Then maybe you should consider a beach vacation at Hawaii.

Most of my friends are now planning for their holidays. Of all the places they’ve been to, i got to know that beach holidays are the best of all. It’s a combination of everything. I love the sun, the sea, the sand in my feet, the breeze in my hair, everything. And not to mention the seafood. I heard that they serve really good seafood in Hawaii, an d i’m dying to try it.

Now is a good time to check out those Hawaii home rentals before you book anything. If you need more information, you can find out more at Kauai Travel Blog. Take the time to read up on those Oahu Vacation Info and find out more about those Submarine tours where you can view sharks without getting wet nor lose a limb or two, lol. Oahu is a famous for just that. Whatever it is, do check it out, ya.

What do you do when you know that a member of your family or one of your friends is involved in drugs. Oh, i mean addicted to it, okay. Not selling it, that’s illegal. In fact, they are both illegal. I just want you to know that they are not proud of it themselves. They may hide their addiction from others, but for how long. One of my friend’s son started smoking against her wish. She didnt put a stop to that, nor told him how dangerous smoking can be to his health. She just continued to scold him each and every day. Soon, he went on to pot and not long after that, he deeply hooked on coke. She found out about his addiction when she caught him stealing at their neighbor’s house one evening. She’s very thankful that her neighbor didnt press charges against her son. Instead, he gave her the numbers to some drug treatment centers and told her to get help for her son.

She did as told and her son was also very cooperative. He knows if he doesnt get off drugs for good, he will soon steal again to feed his bad habit. Next time, he may not get sop lucky and might end up serving time in jail.

My mom’s old house is up for sale. She asked me if i’m interested in buying it over from her or not. Of cos not, dont be silly. I dont want to buy a house back only to spend the rest of the time fixing it. I hate old house. I would only buy an old house if i like the location, and also that’s if i’m rich enough to tear the place down and build a new one on the piece of land. Anyways, i told her she’ll sell it off faster if she were to engage a good real estate agent and not leave it to my brother. He’s asking 20k more than the market value, madness.
