I wanna reduce eating junks to give room for the healthy stuffs. And the thing that I first think of, are those good foods that'll help my tummy to become strong enough to carry on the junks I love to eat including pizza, burger, pasta, processed foods like hotdogs and franks, ready to eat noodles, canned goods like sausages and spanish-style fried sardines and all the preservatives added to it. I imagine the 'good food' as soldiers attacking the 'bad' bacteria in my digestive tract. Amazing!

The White Hat -BDJ introduces me to this yougart. tastes good, comes with different flavours from freshly cut fruits to cookies, nuts and sweets, comes with regular and large combos. yougarts can also be served with on top of waffles, 2% fat but 0% trans fat!
Yoswrils - the sweetest among the three. tastes good, and like the others it comes with different flavours, but most of their fruits were not freshly cut, but canned.

If your in a strict diet, Californiaberry and The White Hat are the best options for you. But, if you want to enjoy it a little bit more sweeter, you'll go with Yoswirls.
When I was little, my aunt used to make home-made yougarts.. The mothermilk which is a soured cream milk is mixed and stirred with fresh milk. :) She do her yogarts the chinese way. Best part was, we get to choose our flavours to mixed with it because the main yougart is plain!
If you want a quickie yougarts, there are ready-to-eat yougarts in the supermarkets that comes with different variety like plain, with fruit bits, flavoured jelly and in juice form!
Health is wealth! And remember, we should try to make food as our medicine as much as possible! :P
I've been there for several times, of different reasons...
I've stayed there for quite a long time, too. And now, it would be an offense not to share the beauty of this beautiful side of Benguet. I present you - my experiences thru pictures.
This
place is really a haven away from the busy city life. Here, there is peace and
quiet. You can release stress and feel calm, simply because the lifestyle here
is very simple.
Rain is usual.
Sablan is a nearby province of Baguio City
and is a municipality of Benguet. It is along the national highway of Naguillan
Road in-between Baguio and La Union. Like Baguio, Sablan is way much cooler than
Manila!
We have to bring extra bed sheets, socks, bonnet and we never forget to bring our jackets.
There are obviously a lot of animals to see
here. I know it maybe typical for others, but for me this is a whole new level!
We rarely see livestock in Manila unless it was chopped and frozen!
Domestic cats and dogs are everywhere. Free
to roam around. Cats usually don’t have names while two of the dogs were named
Osang and Bulding – it is, I think is an Iloco term for ‘one-eyed-pup’.
Cordillerans are fond of eating dog meat
because it is known that the ‘meat’ can heat up the body which people here like, especially during cold rainy season. But now, thank goodness, it’s not an
everyday thing anymore, as far as I know...
spot the duck
Livestock includes ducks and geese; we saw
one running around the highway. Chickens and roosters, doves and other
kinds of birds are getting fewer but we can still see three or four.
this is so curious!
The goats here are very well fed. There's a lot of grasses and plants they could choose from. They are free to go wherever they want because they themselves know when, where and how to go home.
We are raising goats, and maybe soon we’ll
be having lambs too to make it complete.
reminds me of a rabbit in a fable
so cute!
Rabbits are my recently favourite farm
animals! They’re so soft, cute and so lovable. I love how they nibble, the
sounds to me seems like that the food is so crunchy!
so adorable!
Snakes and frogs are common here as well. I’ve
tried eating frogs too... They were okay and tastes like chicken.
Green is in! Trees and plants, vines and grasses are everywhere! Farming is the main source of living here. From root crops to hanging plants, flowers, plants and trees, the soil is just perfect for almost all kinds of vegetation.
coffee
newly harvested sweet potatoes
this is so delicious!
Rain also helps a lot for a great harvest,
unless it’s a tropical storm or froze bite.
Sunflower bloom everywhere during summer! If
you know me, one of my dreams is to go sunflower hunting! As I drawn it in my BDJ
dream board: into the sunflower fields!
I will continue to discover other parts of Sablan the next time I'll visit the place. I didn't get the chance to go swimming on the falls and go hiking on the nearby hills and mountains. Maybe one day. :)
"Dear Reader, I am sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing. With all due respect,Lemony Snicket"

I first saw this in a 3books-in-1movie "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events".
After watching, I was curious about the elaborated details of each scenes so I decided to find a book. And I'm sorry to say, all of the bookstore I searched and find all of the books we're OOS!
But it's ok, since the book is too slim for a fat price! Thank goodness for the audiobook edition! I love the british accent of the narrator, Tim Curry. The music gave me LSS too. The book was superbly narrated and dramatize the dark humor, the creepy Count Olaf and even the cough of Mr. Poe makes me laugh!
The plot is very engaging it will drawn you closer to the Baudelaires orphans as they strive to survive the wake of their parent's death in a mysterious fire and at the same time strive to escape the watching eye of Count Olaf! you wanna finish the entire series in just one sitting! The writer's style is very descriptive and even the images on the book beautifully detailed.
If your looking for a smart book with characters that are just-in-the-nick-of-time problem solver, the entire series is perfect! The main characters were the three Bauldelaires. The youngest and the infant, Sunny who loves to bite things and have shrieks and baby gurgles only her siblings can understand and translate. Klaus, the middle child, the only boy, who is a brainy bookworm that helps in answering and defining things that'll surely help them out escape the peril. And last but not the least, Violet, the eldest, the mechanic and inventor.
Let's start off with Book 1: The Bad Beginning

The Bad Beginning is the first of thirteen books in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events that narrates a fictional story about the start of all the tragedies in the lives of the three Baudelaire children. The mysterious fire that killed both their parents and leave them as orphans.
The Baudelaire were in the seashore when they receive the awful news from the coughing Mr. Poe, who is a banker in charge of their enormous fortune their parents leave them when they'd die on a fire that burned down their house. The will stated that the guardian must be a close relative and should be near or inside the city where they live. Hence Mr. Poe searched and found the nearest relative and sent them off to live with him, Count Olaf who in fact the children never heard or seen before.
The instant they entered the ugly smelly house they knew that the count is a terrible person! He is even forward to the children on his pursuits on their money. Together with his theatre troupe, weird looking beings that includes the hook-handed man, neither a man nor a woman, two white-faced women and others, Count Olaf they plot an evil schemes to get the fortune for themselves!
Scream and Run Away - The Gothic Archies
Overall:
After reading the first book, my questions wasn't answered yet. How did the Baudelaire mansion got burned? Is it just an unfortunate event? An Accident? Or was Count Olaf behind it? These question made me wanna read more! It has a lot of twist and can be very misleading, which in turn makes it more fun to read, exciting and thrilling!
The book states the fact that people can get very greedy and envious on other's fortunes and blessings and is ready to do anything just to take them away.
This book is quite a bit hard for kids, so I personally recommend this for teenagers due to some mature contents and sophisticated enough for adult readers as well.
