Food for the Brain can cause Fire in the Stomach

i remember when i was in primary school my mom would always buy tons of peanuts during exam week for us to munch on while we were studying. she said it was food for the brain.

ive currently locked myself up for the last stretch of my review and have snacked on a couple of staples while im at it.

the project has limited resources and welcomes support in cash or kind such as kitchen supplies (mixing bowls, measuring cups, graters, utensils, scales, baking utensils, etc.), office supplies, furnitures, computers, or if anyone out there can lend them an office space for their factory =)

you can get in touch with them at +63.917.830.3003 or messybessycleaners@gmail.com

or you could just simply switch to green living and patronize their wide array of toxin free Messy Bessy house cleaning products.

just in case you want their products delivered, you can call or text 63.915.789.2030 (Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm) or email orders to messybessycleaners@gmail.com

The Final Set -a walk down memory lane

we all grew up listening to a certain style of music. since my age of becoming was spent mostly in liberal manila, i was exposed to the music of the masa.

i guess sometimes walking down memory lane is not exactly a walk in the park

When great coffee is not enough

The double shot of espresso i ordered seem to be working very slowly today as i had gulped down my coffee for that eye wide open feel but instead find myself drifting into dream land.

treating the mechanic

hubby has always been a DIY guy and it has definitely come in very handy for us and most of our relatives. sometimes i just watch him in awe as he takes on a mechanical problem and ends up with a fixed gadget no matter how new the contraption may be. i asked him once how he knew what to do and he simply said, "its logic." hmm, then that means the rest of the world and i have not very much logic do we...

Lima needed some tweaking and hubby gladly took to the dash and got engrossed with her wiring like a little kid with his science project. i on the other hand, had no part in the process and just pondered on todays newspaper. i didnt really mind because i dont really find interest in such things.

when all was well, we took to the road to reward my personal mechanic *grin*.
