best way to wash your produce

best-way-to-wash-your-produceWhat’s the honest-to-goodness best way to wash your produce? Here is a good bite in doing this, use water and white vinegar – no lie. A few squirts on your fruits and veggies get rid of the nasty stuff (like pesticide residue) that you don’t want, no store bought washes necessary.

Well, here are some benefits you will have. Like, brushing bugs under the rug. A diluted vinegar rinse kills 98% of bacteria on produce; researchers found it works even better than a scrub brush. Another thing is you can have cash savings you can believe in. Water and vinegar rinses cost just pennies; the premade washes cost $4 and up. And, it’s a simple truth: Buying plastic bottles of produce wash means having to recycle them too (not to mention the energy and materials needed to make and ship them in the first place) you’ll still need to buy bottles of vinegar, but you’ll buy fewer of them.

checking web for financial advice

I have been checking the web for some financial advice. I feel like becoming aggressive in cutting down my debts I incurred last year. I made a huge mistake last year making several debts to different companies, new debts to pay the old ones. Not really knowing that I am paying so much interest. I just learned interest things when I started blogging, for which I mostly spend my time reading post of different blogs. It really helped me a lot. For now I am open to the idea of debt consolidation. But I still have to check if I will be able to finish the other two current debts. If yes, then I will be left with one and that is good news.

In my mind

In my mind, if I will get marry someday, I will make it big and very memorable. My partner and I have been living together for a year now. I have been collecting ideas gathered from the net that could help us in our big day soon. I also bookmarked some of internet’s definitive destination for wedding supplies, like Knot Wedding Shop, for example. It has top-quality wedding supplies and novelty items ranging from wedding cameras and ring pillows to personalize attendant gifts, cake toppers, and more. Some of these unique wedding favor ideas can be personalized with the couple’s names and wedding date. This is just an example of my bookmarked sites. There are more to that. Hopefully we will tie the knot soon.

Lies of Mother

lies-of-motherThe story began when I was a child; I was born as a son of a poor family. Even for eating, we often got lack of food. Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was removing her rice into my bowl, she would say “Eat this rice, son. I’m not hungry”. That was Mother’s First Lie

When I was getting to grow up, the persevering mother gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped that from the fishes she got, she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth. After fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which raised my appetite. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate. My heart was touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the other fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said “Eat this fish, son. I don’t really like fish.” That was Mother’s Second Lie.

Then, when I was in Junior High School, to fund my study, mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be stuck in. It gave her some money for covering our needs. As the winter came, I woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke, supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she continued the work of sticking some used-matches box. I said, “Mother, go to sleep, it’s late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work.” Mother smiled and said “Go to sleep, dear. I’m not tired.” That was Mother’s Third Lie. [Read more...]

due to increasing price

Due to the ever increasing price, the amount of money me and my partner save has become insufficient to buy the camera we want. My future sister-in-law told us that she was wrong when she gave the quotation to us. And said that the money we hand over is insufficient by around $1000.

Now hubby and I have to decide fast. But, we don’t have that money for now. It will take one month to earn it. We don’t have fixed monthly income to get Cash Advance, where you get the money before the next payday. The sad thing is we don’t have a payday. So we are left with no choice, but to abandon the idea for now. We are too ambitious to think that we will be able to buy an SLR for that amount. It’s also frustrating to know that we will not have it, after all our expectations.

Since we have to wait for another month or more, our travel plans are also ruin. Earlier I said that we will go somewhere far, I am sad that we have to postpone it. I really don’t want to travel without a camera. And hubby doesn’t want to buy one not unless it’s SLR. I am just hoping that we can save enough before next month.

me paranoid?

Typically, some people describe me as paranoid. I am a very suspicious person before. I could not trust my whenever he leaves. I am always jealous about his girl friends at school. Although he said promise that he doesn’t have an affair, I am not at ease. I could not tail him also since I have some work to attend to.

One time, without him knowing, I put a Hidden Camera on his pen. I am that desperate to know what he is up to during school time. I feel guilty and feel so stupid since I found that he is innocent. Now, I need to get it back from him. And told him all the things I am doing. It’s the time he goes hysterical. He said that I stepped on his right. I have to admit it since it’s my mistake.

He asked me the question what if I am in his shoes. And being spyed on by hidden camera for a week, what will I feel. Of course, I will feel bad, but I decided not to answer his question and remain silent. He got all the right to be mad at me.

I bet many would be mad about being spyed on. However, although it sounds like stepping on a person’s right, it is also a good way to prove that they are not doing anything fishy.

Lose Pounds, Drink Water

lose-pounds-drink-waterYou’ve heard it again and again – H2O, at zero calories, is the best diet drink. But if you still hooked on high calorie beverages, check out these numbers: Researchers who tracked 240 overweight women found that those who replaced sweetened drinks with water lost five more pounds, on average, than those who didn’t. Why these sips add up? Well, think of these “a can of Coke is 146 calories; a cup of grape juice is 154 calories”. So think about it!
