A Change of Lifestyle

I was in bad shape since Sunday night. That feeling that you won't be able to see tomorrow. I am like that when I get really sick.

So, this sedentary lifestyle is taking a toll on me. I am going to look for a place to workout and pursue my badminton again. Or else this blogger will be waiting early in the pre-departure area.

Wish me well. I need your prayers.

Take care of your lives, Lovees.

Feeling Low? Try Ginger Milk Tea

This is the kind of March that is so full of rain, chilly wind and thunderstorms. So I've thought of something to warm this depressing weather.

Here's a great brew for those who want to get refreshed especially on a cold day.

1 mug fresh ginger water (8 oz)
1 Lipton teabag
3 tablespoon evaporated filled milk
Brown sugar to sweeten

As most people dislike the taste of ginger, this was different. I personally say, it can be an addicting drink. The sweet, creamy, tangy, warm taste creates a good impression as you down it.

Ginger is full of benefits as well, to name a few:

  • Cold and Flu Prevention and Treatment
  • Menstrual Cramp Relief
  • Colon Cancer Prevention
  • Ovarian Cancer Treatment
  • Heartburn Relief
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Powerful Natural Painkiller
  • Mood Enhancer
  • Mouth Freshener
For a recipe of a warming drink of another type, here's Haldi Doodh or Turmeric Milk for you.

Keep warm & stay up,

Tara

8 Lessons

“I have grown to believe:

That the one thing worth aiming at is simplicity of heart and life;

That one’s relations with others should be direct, not diplomatic;

That power leaves a bitter taste in the mouth;

That meanness and hardness and coldness are the unforgivable sins;

That conventionality is the mother of dreariness;

That pleasure exists not in the virtue of material conditions, but in the joyful heart;

That the world is a very interesting and beautiful place;

That congenial labor is the secret of happiness.”

~ Arthur Christopher Benson

Remember This

  • Do not contradict people, even if you are sure you are right.

  • Do not be inquisitive about the affairs of even your most intimate friend.

  • Do not underrate anything because you do not possess it.

  • Do not believe all the evil you hear.

  • Do not repeat gossip, even if it does interest a crowd.

  • Do not jeer at anybody’s religious belief.

  • Learn to hide your aches and pains under a pleasant smile; few care whether you have earache, headache, or rheumatism.

  • Learn to attend to your own business–a very important point.

  • Do not try to be anything else but a gentleman or lady; and that means one who has consideration for the whole world, and all races.

mountain moments



Weekend went fine. We went to catch cool mountain air and not only that, we got drizzled on. Showers are frequent when you are in high altitude~ our spot was at 4,000 ft above sea level. It was a fine trip, riding the bus, seeing the place again and buying fresh veggies on our way back.

Here are some pics of our trip to Kitaotao, Bukidnon.

For love of korean drama



I have learned to watch korean dramas because their stories are more sensible, they got nice settings, beautiful people, and they do not have lewd scenes. Koreans are decent and admirable people. so... Dong Yi is in the house!





I have 60 episodes to tackle, by the way. So I'll be off to engage in my drama marathon now. See ya.
