My Daily Routine!

Every Monday to Saturday, i wake up at 4:00 in the morning to prepare food for my children and to make sure they eat breakfast before leaving the house. Better not going to school, if the stomach is empty. That's my policy! Then i escorted my youngest daughter to her school, she is in grade 6 right now and hopefully a graduating student with honors. According to her every time they have quizzes, she is always in the 3rd place. Well, i am happy to hear that always from her and encouraging her more to study her lessons instead of always chatting her friends in facebook. Children of today as i observed, were very lazy reviewing their daily lessons and reading their books. They are always depending in research in the internet to just copy and paste then print, which made their life now easier. My other 2 kids were also in morning class schedule. So, they leave me here alone but i go back to sleep to get some energy because i'm always late sleeping at night because of watching my favorite TV programs. But today, i was a little bit busy. I cleaned up the entire house from up to downstairs, wash the dishes and the electric fans. oh! i almost forgot, i also scrub the floor which made me feel tired but it's alright i just think that it is my way of exercise. I really need an exercise because my husband is not here with me again. He is sailing again in the middle of the sea, exploring different countries. hehehe, sorry i just feel alone and lonely but with my kids presence here i must be satisfied for what i am today.

Fish Killing of Bangus (Milkfish) & Tilapia!

It's been a one month i think since Fish Killing was happened here in some provinces in the Philippines like Batangas and Pangasinan and still heard lately in TV news. Mostly strikes to fishes like Bangus or Milkfish, Our National Fish of The Philippines which is very tasteful and good for grilled or inihaw, and stew or sinigang and also paksiw. Another fish has been into fish killing is Tilapia, sometimes known as “aquatic chicken”, due to their high growth rates, adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, ability to grow and reproduce in captivity and feed on low trophic levels. As a result, these fishes have become excellent candidates for aquaculture, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Indeed, tilapia culture has been expanding rapidly, and is now practiced in more than one hundred countries worldwide. These are my kids favorite dishes. Actually i did not intend to buy a fish because my children already warned me and told me that they don't want to eat fish yet. And it's true one time i did buy a fish because i was kinda tired of always eating meat, they just ignore the fish and i alone ate it all and thanks that we have a dog i gave some to him. Back to the main topic, yesterday when i saw the fish named tilapia and still alive i immediately bought 1 kilo of it, cost of 100 pesos only, without thinking of my children opinions. When they found out what our viand was last night, they said some comments and perhaps not want to eat but i assured to them that it is alive when i buy it so it means it is safe and healthy. To make the story short, we ate the fried fish Tilapia last night with matching slices of tomatoes sprinkled of a little drops of fish sauce or bagoong. ohhhmmmm yummmmy!
