One baby step at a time..:)

It's been awhile since I posted something here. I've tried to post some of my thoughts this past weeks but I just can't...

Maybe because I thought that it would be better if I do something about moving on first, and gradually forget about my sentiments, so that the next time I post something here, it will be something different. Something new for this blog.. Something good about gettin' a life!

So here's my list on HOW TO MOVE ON and be just simply HAPPY:

1. Exercise
     * I've watched in a health and wellness show that exercise can improve one's mood. It's because it stimulates our hormones that may leave us feeling happier and more relaxed.
    -Maybe this is one of my problems why I'm emotionally down for quite some time. It is because I don't exercise since I got pregnant with my first child. That's why now, I'm finding time to do at least a 15 mins. exercise in a day. It could be dancing with my little kiddo or just playing physical games with her. Whatta!

2. Eat, eat and EAT....HEALTHY!
      * How can you be happy if your stomach is empty? Eating foods is what our body needs to keep ourselves alive and energetic! The more energy you have, the more good things you can do. And the more  accomplishments you have, the happier you will be. :)  
      -I'm guilty for not eating because I feel so fat, now that I just gave birth again! Maybe this has a contribution why my brain is not functioning well, thus making me feel so depress. I have to stop this!C'mon, let's eat!bon appetite!!:)

3. Appreciate. Gratitude. Pray.
      * Appreciation of little things, being grateful for some things and praying for new things can make someone be happy OR makes you feel so good! Anyway, LIFE IS LIKE A GLASS with half-filled water. It's whether you chose to see it as half- filled or half-empty.
    -Since I see the different kind of life, more on reality one, I've changed. And it's a bad thing because I've changed for worse. Before, I'm a positive thinker. I always see the bright side of every situation in my life. I appreciate little things like my friends making time for me, I'm thankful for me being able to eat donut and I just pray whenever I don't have enough money/allowance for rest of the week. That's me! 4 years ago! I just don't know what exactly happen why I've lost that asset of mine. I forgot how wonderful life is and chose to stop living a beautiful life. But now, I'm ready to live again. With my hubby and two beautiful daughters, there's no reason for me to be sad. Cause there's so much reason to be happy. :)

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.

The Mango Graham Cake Challenge

First of all, I wanna greet my baby, Happy 4th month baby Allodia!

So, because there's a reason to celebrate, my hubby and I decided to make a Sponge cake or most commonly known as Graham cake for my baby. My hubby was the who bought all the ingredients and it cost us for about 160php. 

Here's the list of our ingredients:

2 packs of Graham crackers (200 g)

2 packs of all-purpose cream (250 ml)

1 can of condensed milk (380 g)

4 mangoes

When I was about to start making the graham cake, my hubby started to tease me, like he said that I don't really know how to make a graham cake. He even told me that I will just waste the ingredients and that made my ego go bursting! So, I challenge him in a Mango Graham Cake Challenge! He'll make his own version and I'll make one too. Our judge is our very own little girl, Meganne.

Since we have a 4 months old baby, we have to make the cake one at a time. He was the first one to make his Graham cake. I don't know what exactly he did because I didn't watch him while doing his cake. After 10 mins, he's done with his cake and it's my turn to show my skills!

Here's how I made my Mango Graham Cake:

1.) Mix one pack of all-purpose cream and condensed milk in a clean container.

2.) Cover the bottom of a square or rectangle container or Tupperware with one layer of Graham cracker.

3.) Spread some mixed cream and condensed milk evenly to the layer.

4.) Add sliced mango.

5.) Spread again some mixed cream and condensed milk.

6.) Then add another layer of Graham crackers and spread the rest of mixed cream and condensed milk.

7.) Crushed 4 to 5 graham crackers and put it on the of the top. (I've made it as a lettering of my daughter's         name)

8.) Freeze it for two or more hours and served chilled. :)

My Graham cake with my Allodia.

My Graham Cake- it taste sweet, just enough for a sweet tooth like me!

His Graham Cake- I can say that he made it just for himself. It's creamy and slightly sour(because of the mangoes) but overall, it's delicious. :)

To end this "duel", Meganne liked my Graham cake more than her dad's cake. She ate almost half of it and she actually demands for more but I have to stopped her because she might not eat dinner anymore. 

For overall, I've enjoyed making this way more than eating our finish product. Its not just delicious but it's also a form of family bonding. And I'm happy that we did this. :)

i wanna move on..

Just a minute ago, I was browsing my friend's page in facebook and I've realized that it seems that I was really stuck in my past. I wasn't over yet with my past and I feel like I have so many things to do but, i'm not doing anything to patch things up..
My wrong decisions in my past keep taunting me right now...
I should have finish my studies even if I got pregnant before..
I should have started to work even if he(my husband) disagrees with it..
I should have listen to my mom.

But now that the damage is done..What else can I do??

I'm so confuse right now, that I do not know what to think anymore..
If only there's a way to get back to my past, so I can redo everything and I can make things right..

I really wanna move on..
Please God, help me to move on...
