Yakult

I have started drinking it again and it brings back childhood memories. It’s good for the tummy and my mom used to buy me a pack from a vendor who goes door to door to ask if we want to buy one.  I would then have a money ready for payment given by mom as she’s usually not around when the vendor goes to our house.

A pack contains five bottles of  Yakult and I could finish them all in just one sitting and then later on I’ll have a tooth ache.

There’s what they call Fro-Ya available at Sebastian’s which I have to try yet. It’s made from pure Yakult and I’m curious on how it tastes. If it’s very yummy, I might be able to order two cups, hee hee.

Cucumber for Eye Bags?


Does cucumber really reduces eye bags? I have puffy eyes the past days due to lack of sleep so I thought I could use cucumber to reduce it. But, does it really helps or it’s just a myth? My mom said to put cool cucumber slices over my closed eyes for a few minutes. It’s like a cold compress so maybe I could use just plain ice? Hmmm let me try it first and see the results.

Do You Eat Taho Everyday?

Kids love taho or soy pudding. I remember when I used to take care of my nephew that I always buy him everyday. He eats it as his breakfast. I give the vendor our own bowl to put the taho in it and not in a plastic cup. The taho costs at least 10 pesos or more depending on the size of the bowl.

Taho is made from soft tofu, vanilla syrup and pearl sago. It’s actually a healthy food as long as you won’t let the vendor put too much syrup. Otherwise, you might get diabetic in the future.

Me, I prefer my taho without peral sago and I aslo ask the vendor not to put too much sugar. I even have a separate cup for the syrup so that I can adjust the sweetness according to my taste.

There are lots of taho vendor everywhere. Even in Makati where I used to work, there are vendors selling to the office workers. They are asked to leave by the guards though since sidewalk vendors aren’t allowed.

Taho is included in my breakfast. I don’t think my day will be complete without eating one.

Mussels for the Heart

One of my favorite seafoods are mussels but I just recently found out that it has 25% less calories and has the same amount of protein as beef steak. A must eat shellfish because it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which benefits the heart decreasing risks of heart diseases.

Coffee Love

Coffee is a part of my daily breakfast. My morning won’t be complete without it. I’d even have coffee than eat a small amount of food for brekkie. It makes me alert the whole day.

I love coffee but I don’t drink more than two cups every day. I know that drinking coffee has health benefits such as it helps prevent Parkinson’s disease, dementia and heart problem and drinking a lot will have a negative effect.

I’ve tried drinking too much and the effect? I woke up with eye bags! Ever since, I only drink coffee once or twice if I can’t help it.
