    I think for those using it for medical reasons should be given a certification by the doctor updated as to from what dates should they be used , so that they cannot be accosted as illegally using them.

    Dina wrote a new post, Shopping and Eating Goes Hand In Hand ? 7 years, 10 months ago

    Do you notice that whenever you go to the mall to shop , your tendency is to eat in any of the restaurants or food outlets of your choice ?

    Although your main agenda of going to the mall is to shop for some […]

    • Hi @Dina, lovely first blog here. Hope this will encourage you write more here, I am looking forward to read more articles from you.
      Nice to read your shopping and eating out experience. I think if would like to analyse the logics behind why shopping and eating are always hands in hands, I have few ideas to share here.
      First, shopping mall is a fully air-conditioned environment, it make us feel cold, and make us utilise more energy, thus we will feel hungry faster than usual or when stay outside.
      Second, shopping need some energy too, which walk up and down will consume some extra energy of us, we can walk more if compared to than in a park which without our knowledge. Thus, we feel tired after a whole day shopping activity.

      Third, the promotions offered by the restaurants or eating outlets will make us feel carving to the food although we are not hungry at that time. That’s why better not go to shopping mall if really tight of budget… haha!

      • It’s nice to see you here too. I think,I will be writing more here because I have seen common friends from the other site where we write too.

        I certainly agree on all those factors you enumerated as to what makes us like to eat when shopping.

        And true, we should go to the mall whenever we have a lot of budget or like I said when we are still full from the meal that we have eaten. But even then , when we are at the mall, we fastly get hungry because of the eating joints we pass by. ha ha ha

    • Seldom I join the two .When I shop, I do not dine. I cook my food for know well what I am cooking. It is not advisable to always dine outside of your home.The foods prepared by fast foods contain recycled cooking oil,fries are bad for our health, they contain carcinogens due to its way of cooking and others there. I seldom dine outside.I am a choosy type in terms of food, It is not nice to feel something malicious to our body,Let us protect our body and health.

      • Good for you that you are that determined not to eat those unhealthy foods. I sometimes crave for them , so even if I will not be shopping I will drop by the mall , which is at the very place where the jeepneys going to our place are waiting for passengers.

        So , you know why I am tempted at times when dismissal comes.

        Though,most of the time , I eat veggies and fish.

    • Sometimes we are setting our mind not to eat unhealthy food specially when we go shopping.But time is running so fast and we do not notice that we already spent lot of time going around.Even if we say that we already rush on buying items that we need.When we get tired and hungry, We have no choice but to pick something which is being served fast.Then we will end up eating at fast foods or food carts.

      • That is so true. When one is already so hungry, the speedy way is to eat at those fastfood joints. Although, we can compensate the “unhealthy foods we have eaten, by having an exercise once at home already. In addition, we should eat a fruit and drink lots of water so those fats taken in can be swept away by the fruit when we are able to eliminate our waste inside the body.

        Besides, at fastfoods the cost is cheaper than in regualr restaurants.

    • I don’t understand why people think they can drive while intoxicated.
      If happen to be at a bar or someone’s house , and knowingly they know you can’t drive .
      They shoul be held responsible as well , the right thing to do is take thier keys and call them cab . If that person becomes combative then call the police .
      Im not a drinker though during flu season . I will make myself a Hottie Tottie even though I hate the taste of liquor.
      But that doesn’t mean Im going to drink and decide to head too the store all because I forgotten to pick up Halls .

      Took them years to make a commercial to serve water with your alcohol.
      That they only air every once in awhile.
      But they constantly advertise cigarette smoking cause death .
      It’s funny because drinking and driving kills quicker than Cigarette smoking in my opinion that is .

      • Here , some people can drink and drive and only when they met an accident while being such will they be punished for it .

        Sad but that is true here in the Phulippines . Although , all persons should be really responsible in not drinking and driving , because not only will their lives be endangered but those of others they meet on the road.

    My father is a diabetic too. He had his lower left leg amputated last year because the lesion cause by my mother’s too much clipping of his toenail became gangrenous.

    He is 84 and have been diabetic since he got 60 year old. He drinks lots of soursop juice and teas. His sugar is always monitored and he is being given an insulin shot everyday.

    My father is diabetic. He eats all kind of fruits though in moderation because they are sweet. But I don’t know if citrus fruits would also be sweet because they are sweet yet a bit sour.

    I always just eat an apple at night for dinner because I am trying to lose my fat at the tummy. So I am happy to know it can help me avoid diabetes.

    Did this happen here? In my opinion, it can only be given to people with this kind of illness that can only be cured by marijuana. People who are under the medication of marijuana should be given a license for it. Should one be caught with marijuana but with no license then he/she can be incarcerated.

    • Things happen, and sometimes we may not even have the words to explain it. We are a family were also in the same predicament only that this was my older sister who was in campus at the time. It was the most better pull for my mum to swallow when she found out. I remember i used to share a room with my sister at the time and i kind of noticed her frequent visits to the bathroom, and one morning I followed after her when she went to the bathroom, she didn’t know that I followed her. A few minutes later I heard her vomiting and i was so shocked to the point of panicking. And that’s when I decided to tell my mum about what was going on. My mum being a nurse at the time took the opportunity to talk to her and she admitted that she was pregnant. It was trully a shocker given that my sister was one of those kids who were well respected because she was quiet, loved God, and she was a good example to the rest of the kids in the estate. Being the very first child to join campus in the whole neighbourhood, that said something. So it happens usually it’s the polite ones who normally do things that may shock many, unlike the unruly ones. At least for us I got to know about it before anyone else. They later got married and had two kids before she finally died may get soul continue to rest in peace.

    • I experenced it and I removed my shoes and let the small stones roll on the floor hehehehe,People smiled at meas I smiled at them too pretending my case as on a shame mood. I just told myself to be honest to my feeling.I noticed that there was also one guy tat followed whet I did, He also put off has shoes and let some stones out hehehe.
      The shoes I wore that time was easy to remove and did I get some stones? I passed by my neighbor’s house having many loads of gravel near the road, so unconsciously feel right away small stones like gravel in sizes entering my shoes.

      That was funny, but I was just true to myself.

      • You mean you did it while there are other passengers on the jeepney? Well, i would too rather than bearing the pain of having those stones one your feet .

        Good thing , the man’s feet didn’t smell awful . ha ha ha

    I can relate. I also give alms but mostly top those very old people , who i know can’t find any job anymore . But for children , no , because they will be encouraged to beg more rather than go to school . Besides , they are the parents’ responsibility.
