Songs that Make Us Sing Saturdays: Let's Get Physical

Two weeks from now my kid is going back to school. That means, we won't be together and I will be having more mom-Me time, teehee! As early as now, I am already planning on doing a lot of things while the kid is on school. Perhaps, its time to do some gardening again or perhaps time for me do some exercising. Oh, exercising!, that's one thing that this mom needs nowadays especially since I am not getting any younger. Time for me to go get the sneakers and head on to the gym or perhaps just get a aerobics video that I could follow at the comfort of our home. This song will be my everyday companion then. I am getting excited at getting fit!

My Kid and His Food Choice

My kid is real foodie at heart. A lot of times, he stays with me in the kitchen during food preparation time. One day, he asks if he can cook for us. Since it was just a very easy omelet dish, I give in to his desire.

A lot of other mom friends are asking me how I make my kid eat vegetables and other healthy foods. Well, as early as he can start on solid foods, I introduced "true" foods to him. He grew up on home cooked mashed potatoes, mashed carrots, and other fruits or vegetables that can be mashed. He never tasted baby foods from the supermarkets. And I guess that is the reason why he has a very good choice when it comes to food. I did not even have to bother asking him to take on healthy snacks like salads and healthy breads over junk foods. Well, not that he does not take some chips or those fat-laden burgers but its just that he knows he can only have it in certain times and not everyday.

He even does the plating of his dish.

To date, the kid normally favors vegetable salads (and even makes his own vinaigrette), he loves fish dishes and most of the time asks for his favorite Chicken Caldereta  ("and Mama, please add in some paprika and some chili pepper for the kick!", he always asks).  For his baon, he wants Vegetable Wrap or Baked Potato with Cheese and Bacon.

I guess, it's all about introducing your kids as early as possible to healthy options. And we are both reaping it's benefits. My kid rarely gets sick and if ever it's almost always the usual cough and colds. That makes me a happy Mom!

The Real Dreamgirl

Everything started out as a dream. And she worked hard to attain that dream. And now, the votes have been tallied and America had named a new Idol. Honestly, I have already predicted that another WGWG (white guy with guitar) will make it to the top. But, yes, I hoped that my prediction will be wrong. I have always believed in the talent of this 16 year old Latina-Filipina-American that is Jessica Sanchez. How could you not be impressed with such a powerful voice and awesome talent framed in her petite bod? A lot of people actually rooted for her, but the prestige of being this season's ultimate American Idol is just not for her. Let us just wait until they both work on the real music world. After all, it's not the number of votes that defines the true winner but it is the way how one will be remembered after the competition is over. And I heard Tommy Mottola is already signing her up,right? Meanwhile, you might wanna checkout the highlight of American Idol season 11 results show. She might not be lucky to win the coveted title but she will be truly remembered thru this performance and perhaps should there be another remake of "Dreamgirls", the producers might even consider her. But for the whole Philippines, Jessica Sanchez, is truly an Idol. You are never to far from attaining your dreams, girl!

S is for Strawberries on Nails

I am loving memes nowadays perhaps because it gives me ideas on what to brag blog about. This week, while hopping in from one blog to another I was able to come accross a nice meme, hence I am joining in the fun.

S is for my strawberry shortcake inspired nails. I am so loving nail arts recently and have been bugging my sis-in-law to do them for me.

Songs that make us Sing: Just the Way He Is

 I revisited my VoiceBoks account this weekend.  I was not surprised about the messages and group invites.  Maybe because I know that I am a very lame member but I have promised myself that I will seriously blog this time. My attention was caught by one bloghop that goes on every saturday.   It was almost the same time that my brother had posted a video where he sings for his girl.  Now, being his number two fan, (I don't want to take the number one fan spot from her girlfriend), I decided to share it with all Songs that makes us Sing bloghoppers.

 

Aint he so sweet?
