Time for something healthy

mimiang @mimiang (3760) • Philippines 20 Apr 10

Since my brother brought fish paste that we call bagoong. So, I asked them to buy veggies for dinner to accompany the bagoong. We have steamed okra and sweet potato tops. Yummy with lots of steamed rice

4 responses

ivymariejeruta wow! agree that this is very yummy but not really that healthy. Bagoong is salty and more rice makes your blood sugar rise. Eat more of the veggies though to balance the effect. Happy eating!!!

What do you do to cheer yourself up?

ColinYang @ColinYang (193) • Australia 20 Apr 10

When your feelings get hurt by someone of something, what do you do to make yourself feel better? Do you listen to music, do you read a book, do you play on an instrument really loudly? Colin

ivymariejeruta In my opinion, a second course is actually a waste of time. Instead of getting a second course, why not take a masteral degree and a doctorate degree of your chosen field? Since there is really no limit in educating ourselves, a second course to enhance your...
