It is a good law, and should be strictly implemented to safeguard lives of passengers, even of the drivers. If they wanted to answer an emergency call or a text, they should stop at the roadside to attend to it.

While on the road, I can see people doing that, driving while talking on their cellphones, even those who are on motorcycles!

Indeed, when it is summer, the heat is unbearable especially outside of the house.

I always have a folding umbrella and a folding fan in my bag. So, whenever I go outside the house I would use my umbrella.

Even inside the jeepney, whenever it stops to pick up passengers the scorching heat can be felt. The folding umbrella will be used.

I also wear loose blouses and usually sleeveless. I also would have my hair in ponytail. I always take a bath , especially in the evening.

I also see to it that I eat more than 8 glasses. And I like the water to be so cold. The moment the water enters body, you can feel instant refreshment.

These are some of the ways to beat the heat.

I think here in the Philippines, we would really have a shorter summer as was announced before. And indeed, it would rain now, especially in the morning.

The rain helps in cooling the surroundings.

Even when it is not summer, I used to drink 8 glasses of water, or more. These days, I avoid getting out in the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 .m., as much as I could. It is really scorching hot; and one needs to wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from UV rays.

Nature lovers like us were so sad of what happened to Environmental Secretary Gina Lopez; she did not pass the approval of the Commission on Appointments, saying she acted so quickly in closing the mines, and other things that they say should pass approval of both Houses of Congress and Senate; that she should ask to pass laws to support her decisions! It’s legalese! We do not know, why the Commission on Appointments apparently did not see her points!

lovely post

This is similar to Coconut Buffy prepared in India. Instead of Mungo Beans, we add some dry fruits. We add some cocoa or Pista also. This dish resembles in all aspects the Coconut Buffy. If we add some Basin also the texture becomes very nice. This can be stored easily for 20 days in a container. Can we preserve the Coconut Pudding with Mungo beans for 2 weeks?This is looking great with smooth texture.

The picture made me drool. And as I read on the ingredients they are achievable and might not cost much.

My problem though is taucheo. Is it that one in bottle and it is a fermented soy and colored red. It it is what it is, then we have that in the supermarket.

Actually, this recipe is very easy to make, since the fish is just steamed.

With the sliced ginger too, it will not be so “fishy” to the taste.
