My Niece Candid
I had been warned by my sister about her daughter’s sensitivity when it comes to acne subject. My 16 year old niece is having a big problem right now. He face have numerous acne and it won’t go away. I told her, she needs an acne remedy because it might get worst in the long run. When I look at her photos on Facebook, I keep saying she probably needs to sleep good and avoid oily food because of her big pimples, and she gets hurt. I want to help her get rid of it so I had been looking for something to help her. I know how it feels to be the laughing stock at school when yo have that problem. Some school mates may ask her if they can play connect the dots on her face.
My mother once became so addicted with making jewelries. She asked me to buy her different styles size and colors of beads, and of course she can’t make anything without jewelry making tools so I had to buy her those too and because I wanted to learn I bought me a set too. She got really good at it that when we went to the Philippines, she brought a whole bunch of finished products. She made earrings, necklaces and bracelets. They’re pretty good. But, I guess, it’s not for me, I only made 3 pairs of earrings and I can’t think of any design anymore. I am not as good as my mother, but I know that there a a lot of people out there who’s a lot more talented and can make jewelries that’s of great quality.
Wow! can you believe that this fruit is better than chemotherapy? Where was this information when my dad had cancer?
Soursop Fruit
The soursop tree is low-branching and bushy but slender because of its upturned limbs, and reaches a height of 25 or 30 ft (7.5-9 m). Young branchlets are rusty-hairy. The malodorous leaves, normally evergreen, are alternate, smooth, glossy, dark green on the upper surface, lighter beneath; oblong, elliptic or narrowobovate, pointed at both ends, 2 1/2 to 8 in (6.25-20 cm) long and 1 to 2 1/2 in (2.5-6.25 cm) wide. The flowers, which are borne singly, may emerge anywhere on the trunk, branches or twigs. They are short stalked, 1 1/2 to 2 in (4 5 cm) long, plump, and triangular-conical, the 3 fleshy, slightly spreading, outer petals yellow-green, the 3 close-set inner petals pale-yellow.
The fruit is more or less oval or heart-shaped, some times irregular, lopsided or curved, due to improper carper development or insect injury. The size ranges from 4 to 12 in (10-30 cm) long and up to 6 in (15 cm) in width, and the weight may be up to 10 or 15 lbs (4.5-6.8 kg). The fruit is compound and covered with a reticulated, leathery-appearing but tender, inedible, bitter skin from which protrude few or many stubby, or more elongated and curved, soft, pliable “spines”. The tips break off easily when the fruit is fully ripe. The skin is dark-green in the immature fruit, becoming slightly yellowish-green before the mature fruit is soft to the touch. Its inner surface is cream-colored and granular and separates easily from the mass of snow-white, fibrous, juicy segments—much like flakes of raw fish—surrounding the central, soft-pithy core. In aroma, the pulp is somewhat pineapple-like, but its musky, subacid to acid flavor is unique. Most of the closely-packed segments are seedless. In each fertile segment there is a single oval, smooth, hard, black seed, l/2 to 3/4 in (1.25-2 cm) long; and a large fruit may contain from a few dozen to 200 or more seeds.

Well, it didn’t happen on Saturday, but we still got together last weekend. We were invited to a birthday party and we went. Since hubby is working too much, he was never home for the last 3 weeks now. I am glad that he took a day off last Sunday, we were able to get together in this great party.
Hubby and myself..
It’s nice to be with my husband even if it’s not all the time. I love spending time with him, but with 3 kids in tow, we might as well stay home and just watch movies together, cheaper and quieter. 
Though my entry was late, I still wanted to join..
Gosh! majority of my friends are sick at this moment. Is it due to the sudden change of weather? I had been having serious sinus allergy after the fact that I am taking medication for my allergy, I have nose spray too and so on and so forth. Pollen is everywhere and for people like me who has bad allergies, this time can be the worst time of the season. One of my friends said that she is barking like a dog now. She called in sick due to illness.
What can we do to avoid this virus? Actually if it’s viral infection, there is not medicine that can cure it. If it’s bacterial, then we need anti biotic. I guess, we can do something to avoid being sick by..
1. Stay away from people that are sick
2. Wash your hands frequently, especially if coming from a public rest room
3. Drink plenty of water and vitamin C
4. Stay active
There are more things that you can do to avoid being sick. It’s hard to get sick especially if you have kids. Once one got it, everybody’s going to get it, until the last member of the family got it.
Just a friendly reminder..wash hands and stay active.
