Ampalaya for lunch....
How's weekend everyone....? Sorry for the short drop by again, still stuck with my tight schedules, but this time it's a bit better than the last time.... Medyo wala na ang tungkol dun sa last issue sa trabaho o baka nasanay na lang talaga ako.... By the way, they've came up with a way to check people's performance lately so starting last thursday we have to write down all the job we're doing within a day both completed and job in progress before timing off and place that in a tray inside the boss's office.... Doesn't seem to help about the "protected people" issue.... But hey, i think i've created something positive with my anger-outburst there.... Kahit papano nakatulong ako....
Over time is also back in the limelight kaya ito lang ang weekend ko ngayon, sunday.... Nakakapagod tapos balik trabaho na naman ulit bukas.... Iniisip ko na lang na at least this time ay balik normal na naman ang laman ng wallet ko for a little motivation thingy.... At least my one day weekend pa rin ako kaya make the most of the day na lang.... I just had my lunch a while ago, amplaya na ginisa sa baboy at hipon.... First for almost two months na nakatikim ako ulit ng proper pinoy dish, na-miss ko talaga.... Masyado kasing stressing ang mga nakaraang months kaya wala na halos akong ganang magluto pa kaya puro sandwich lang palagi ang laman nitong tiyan ko.... Buti buhay pa rin ako ngayon, medyo nabawasan lang ng six kilos ang timbang which is good dahil nabawasan din ang mga extra-bilbil ko.... =D
By the way, speaking of ampalaya, napanood ko lang to sa tv few days ago.... Did you know na ang humble ampalaya pala ay may taglay na active ingredients na panlaban sa Diabetes....? Ampalaya daw o Bitter melon sa wikang inglis ay nagtataglay ng chemical na nagpu-promote ng proper digestion and removal of unwanted substances sa katawan na gaya ng sobrang glucose na nagri-result sa diabetes....
The health benefits of the humble Bitter melon were noted around 500 years ago in the writings of China's most revered medical scholars.... Though some may find its bitter tasting and a little hard to swallow, the taste actually doesn't really bother me at all.... Today researchers are returning to these ancient texts in the hope of finding clues to combat modern diseases like diabetes....
This brings back memory.... Nung ipinanganak kasi ang bunso kung kapatid, may pinasipsip silang katas daw ng mashed ampalaya leaves soaked in cotton buds dun sa sanggol.... I was wondering kung ano ang purpose nun, pero ngayon alam ko na....! Pero hindi dahil dyan at lalong wala po akong diabetes kaya ampalaya ang naging ulam ko kanina, nagkataon lang siguro na masarap ang ampalaya kaya nung makita ko ang ampalaya dun sa tv program ay hindi medicinal values ang pumasok dito sa utak ko kundi sarap, lasa, pagkain, busog he-he....! Tsalap kasi....! Have a great weekend all....! =D
