It will be in a few months and my son will graduate from his nursing course, I’m advising him to look for healthcare job while reviewing for his Nursing Board Exam. This way he can use his time productively after taking the test and waiting for the results. It’s better to work in an area related to his  course rather than just take any job to pass his time. This will be an added experience when he apply for a hospital job as nurse.

I will pass it to ALL my friends coz I considered them ALL beautiful. I bet they already received this award too.

If you feel that your bed is not as comfortable as before, when you wake up in the morning and feeling some body aches, maybe it’s time to buy mattress and throw the old one. We know that a comfortable bed is one of the keys to have a goodnight sleep or even an afternoon nap. It’s always nice to lie down and relax your tired, weary body in a cozy bed, but if your mattress is the one that’s giving you pain, it’s time to make a change.

This is my simple but perfect snack this afternoon, hot choco and crackers in this rainy and cold afternoon. It was raining hard and very cold, according to news report there was no typhoon yet the rain was heavy. Nothing much to do except  watch TV and play online games. Hubby and I are getting addicted to playing poker in our social site account. We are both joining the shoot-out tournament of the poker game. Hubby is a better player than me, maybe if he is playing in the real Online Casino, we would be millionaires by now with all the chips he already won.

We also love to watch the World Poker Tournament on TV, this is where I learned how to play Poker, I used to play other card games for fun with my family but this one I really enjoy. So while waiting for other players to fold or go all-in I also play the slot-machine to win some chips on the side.

This is a rainy but not a gloomy afternoon for me definitely. lol.

Do you have left-over rice from dinner last night? If you do and don’t want to eat it plain, you can cook it again by adding different ingredients to enhance the flavor.

This is my own version of Fried Rice or Sinangag in Filipino.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 cups left-over cooked rice
• minced garlic
• 1 cup  mixed veggies like corn, greenpeas, carrot (can be bought in the supermarket in packs)
• cooking oil
• salt
• 3 pcs. hotdogs chopped
• 1 egg

***************************************************************************************

• Saute garlic in oil.
• Then add and stir fry the mixed veggies to keep it crispy.
• Add the chopped hotdogs continue cooking until the hotdogs are done
• Add the rice and stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking in the pan.
• When the rice is already cooked, season with salt
• Add the egg and continue cooking for a few minutes or until the egg is done.
• Serve hot.
• Best  partner with coffee or hot choco.

This Fried Rice is already a complete meal by itself because of all the ingredients added.

Tip: you can also use fresh steamed rice if you don’t have any left-over, just let it cool to vaporize some of the water.

Variation: you can use ham, bacon or any cold-cuts you have in the fridge, or left-over meat dish too like adobo, fried chicken or barbecue, the choice is endless, just be creative. 

I rarely see people smoking tobacco, most of the time it is cigarette. I only see them in movies with the rich and famous smoking cigars. It seems like a status symbol for them. Some could already tell if it is of good quality or not by the smell of unlighted one, just like savoring the sweet aroma of a good wine. When I saw Black and Mild cigars being manufactured since 1939, I guess it’s on the league with the premium quality or else they won’t last that long. For health conscious, it has the same effects as cigarettes.
