Salad is Good for You

This is what I eat for lunch today, salad that I prepared and the thai sauce we bought from Bangkok 101 restaurant. I usually use 2 tablespoon of the sauce for my salad. It is very spicy but I can deal with it. I already have prepared all the veggies needed and put it in the refregerator so it's all ready to eat when we feel like eating salad. Easy, fast, healthy and yummy!

Do I Take Food Supplements?

Yes, I do! As what my mother told me "health is wealth" and it is so true. When we get sick, we are not able to work, make money, do what we want to do and most of all enjoy life! So, better take care of ourselves in the most special way as we can.

I know that I can't get all the vitamins needed for my body from the food I eat everyday, thus taking nutritional supplements is important to me. I take 7 pills everyday -- Vit. A, Vit. B-complex, Vit. C, Vit. D. Vit. E, Calcium citrate and I add Ginkgo for my brain. Inorder for me not to forget, I have this medicine box for the whole week which will help remind me if I did take it already or not. Yes! very useful.

How about you? Do you take food supplements? Ask most doctors these days what is their opinion of food supplements. The most prevalent answer is: "All you need is a good multi-vitamin and a good anti-oxidant." And you are good to go. :)

Be Thankful

Sometimes, I cought myself worried about the things that has not yet happened in my life. I am a kind of a person who wants everything to be planned. I also have many dreams in life that I want to reach them someday. I couldn't control myself to think some negative thoughts about my dreams. Many questions to be answered. Can I make it? What if not? Is this the right choice? Is this the right one for me? What if I am wrong? and etc. Honestly, I am tired of the stress that I'm carrying, I want to change my thought to positive. So, here are some words which I think may help.

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a effort.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those
who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Road Bike

Giant Bicycle

My husband just got a new road bike today, yeey! He was debating to get the bike for a long, long, long time because he has to save his money especially for this very bad economy nowadays. Speaking of long time, that was before he met me, he has to hold on because he was planning to buy a new car. I saw him many times in front of his computer always viewing his dream bike. Poor guy! Then, I told him that it's more better to go to the store and try it himself how does it feels like driving the bike than just looking at it in the picture. So he did and he really fell in love with the bike even more. That is why he finally decided to buy the bike he really like (wheels and break are upgraded) and it cost him $2,600 -boo-. It is a big purchase but he deserved it, he work so hard and this is the fruit of his labor, make him so happy and excited to use it as soon as possible. Now, he is shopping online for his bike shoes, helmet and etc. hahahaha! Omg! this is a very expensive hobby but I'm cool with that because aside from knowing that this is really what he wanted for a long time, it is also good for his health. The next one he want's to get is a mountain bike. Whoa! Is that too much? We have to wait for a loooong time to buy it when we have enough money in the savings and when I start working, we'll see.

Thai Salad

My parents-in-laws treated me at this Bangkok 101 thai restaurant on my 29th birthday because they know that thai is my favorite food. When I tried the salad, I really loved it though it's too spicy. My husband also love it so much that he was sweating out of his sh*t, hahaha! One serving is $18. I think it is expensive but it is so damn good. I know it is because of the sauce that they used.

One day, my husband went back to the restaurant alone and tried to ask if he can only buy the sauce and yes he can. My husband surprised me this when he came home with the salad for me and a sauce and I was happy, yeeey! They charged $8 for the sauce. Not too bad, (we're able to used the sauce for 2 weeks) now we can save money by doing this. We can make our own salad using the thai sauce and it's always been very good. We just bought another one (2nd sauce) today!!!
