Scream

"Sometimes things just start to unravel and you are powerless to stop things from going away. In this situation, you just want your life the way it was: uncomplicated." - Author

Remember those times when having an ice cream just made your day? Hold on to those memories because there will come a time where you would like to  scream your head off but you are not at the right place nor at the right time.
Having discipline will help you. If you are not the one authorized to give discipline in the beginning but giving discipline now when that person is a grown up but acting like a kid? A headache.
Too much freedom can corrupt. And being too nice? A lot of people will just abuse you and use you. I know that, and I hope that people will realize I have limits too. Time will come that my limits will be reached and I hope I can retain grace in my actions and control over my emotions.
Lashing out to hurt back and be as cruel as the people around you is not a solution. You are merely their pawn, playing with their stupid games.
Being an adult meant giving up foolishness. Concentrating on maintaining your temper takes patience and a lot of practice. Grace under fire. Walking out is a temporary solution. You are given the opportunity to prevent your mouth from speaking abusive words that can tear apart relationships and friendships.
Even after all this pep talk, I still wish I could scream. I scream: Ice cream!

Lemonade

If drama in your life is giving you lemons, you make a lemonade. 

The ability to adapt for survival is a reflex that we have. Whether its because we have a little or a lot, it really pays off just to live a simple life. Luxury is just a perspective. If you think you are happy, then regardless of any situation- you can cope and live your life to the fullest.

On the other hand,  its flu season once again. The mercurial weather is terrible for my sinuses. I have already bought Vitamin C and paracetamol. And I am daydreaming for a pitcher of cold lemonade. 

And another thing, let me buy those apples. Just to prove the old saying that an apple a day does make the doctor go away.

Lunch Ideas

Fast food craze. People on the go usually just grab food from the fast food restaurants to get an instant fix. But nothing beats a home cooked meal prepared lovingly by dear ones when you get to go home for a vacation.

Check out these local Filipino delicacies. But if you want to make your own, there are still other lunch ideas you can choose from.

Maruya

Dreaming of waking up to an exotic island where they have these wonderful buffet of fruits? It is not only a dream but a reality when you will grab a chance to come to any Island in the Philippines.


And if you do come here, you would be then in fruit paradise. Grab the opportunity to choose any fruit to your hearts content. For me, I would recommend choosing between strawberries or bananas. I love them both! 







Bananas can be bought day in and out in our country. These unassuming shrub can be seen in almost every roadside that you pass by in the countryside- is a yummy treat for us.

It can make you happy. Research shows that bananas are actually one of those food that has a lot of benefits. The ripe fruit eaten fresh are sweet and the texture can vary as bananas go in various size and shapes and colors.





But to combine strawberries and bananas? Both would be an explosion of different flavors in your mouth.


A mouth watering treat!






Maruya, on the other hand, or Banana fritters are a common dish served during snack times in the Philippines. It taste so good and you will feel so full afterwards that you think you already have a meal.
