We have not been having soft drinks a lot lately. One reason is because my husband has been having upset stomach when he does. I just hope it isn’t the beginning of an ulcer.

Another reason would be our attempt in trying to have more nutritious food and drinks at home. We have even resorted to bringing food and drinks whenever we go out of the house.

It is important to watch what we put in our bodies. Becoming healthy does not mean one has to shell out large amounts to be able to be one. Those “lowly” green and leafy vegetables are wonderful sources of nutrients that we need to be healthy.

Backyard gardening is one answer to having fresh food. Buying reasonably priced nutritional supplements like Orovo is also a good thing.

There are so many choices when it comes to getting good drinks. There is a variety of teas available. We have yellow tea after dinner. The children have fresh lemon grass tea at night too. There are also drinks that provide nutritional supplements. Fresh coconut drink is also one drink that we like.

Even if we live in they city, we can still have these fresh produce as alternative to fast food.

Last week I did not blog a lot, except when I really, really have to. I even missed doing Litratong Pinoy in my other GreenBucks blog. My two young home schooling children and I were busy studying for the second quarter tests. The grades which were due last Friday has been submitted on time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time away from the computer. I was able to read three books by John Grisham, started a series (The Hades factor) by my favorite author Robert Ludlum while my son were busy studying.

I was able to watch my DVD collection of tv series.

I would have loved to watch these on HDTV but I know we still have to wait awhile to be able to afford this kind of viewing pleasure. I had fun getting re-acquianted with Shawn and Gus (finished all episodes till season 3), Don and Charlie (finished all episodes till Season 3) and of course, Chuck. I even mentioned an episode of Psych in one of my posts in this blog that talked about Phishing.

This week, Dexter will be my guy. 🙂

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Filipinos are know to have heavy breakfast of rice, eggs, meat and fruits. Or pancakes, champorado, porridge and pandesal with limitless choices for filling.

For those on the go, the easiest way to have breakfast is by making sandwiches, preparing oatmeal and cereals with milk or having a glass of fruit smoothie.

What is you favorite breakfast meal?

When my eldest daughter was young, we used to go to that park above so she can go horseback-riding. She used to enjoy riding on horses and going around the park. There were also times when we go to somewhere south so that she can also ride horses.

Although she enjoys riding, she often complains of feeling pain on her back and legs. The basic essentials for riding comfort are there but its nothing like those english saddles to offer comfort. Of course we can’t do anything about this because we don’t own the horse nor do we own one.

If we have continued her riding then she could have been a very good rider now. Sad to say, the nearby park doesn’t have horses anymore so my younger children wouldn’t be able to enjoy riding on horses like their elder sister used to do.
