Who would’ve thought that the advice offered by Belinda Selene in this month’s Seventeen magazine would actually help yours truly (who’s double the title age)?
Indeed, this tip is relevant to ~ not only social media trendsetters with followers, but also ~ anyone who has an audience ~ in particular:
Apparently, Jessica Alba must be extremely influential with her following ~ she’s now branded produce! | Courtesy Seventeen magazine, October 2015
Bottom Line: Public Speaking revolves around our Audience, just as Writing revolves around our Readers!

Summer = Salad Season!
F is for … Fresh & flavorful: Romaine lettuce topped with crumbled feta cheese {Trader Joe’s} & drizzled with Italian dressing {Olive Garden}
I may indulge in comfort foods during colder weather when I prefer to stay cozy and warm, but now that the ☼heat☼ is on ~ not to mention, the pressure, since I’ve stepped up my A-game on my dissertation ~ I’m saving time and energy from cooking much to go raw!
A is for … Apple! Added crunch from fruit & nuts (in this case, walnut ½s & pieces) suppresses appetite & burns calories!
Gotta ♥love♥ my greens!
P is for … Pineapple & pecan chips for sweet flavor & savory crunch!
Speaking of freshness, I had a little more time this morning to whip this up for breakfast!
#TGIF
Melt in your mouth … Let my tongue & palate ♪sing♫!

Happy 🎆Belated🎇 🎊Birthday🎊 to Mami Aya!
My Nanay has always cooked unbroken noodles for 🎈birthdays🎁 to signify long life. Usually, these celebratory main courses are spaghetti🍝 or Pancit🍜 (Filipino dish).
Some of us loyal children out there tend to be biased to our parents’ cooking if we grew up mostly exposed to their food. I’m definitely no different; as a matter of fact, I was so spoiled to the point that I as a preschooler once sobbed at my parents’ friends’ 🏠house🏡 when they dropped me off there for date night, and I was stuck with foreign spaghetti.
While many kids cooked for their moms on 💐Mother’s Day, my Mami Aya insisted on cooking her own special meal. Papa Jun and I didn’t mind. Not only have her masterpieces been delicious, but also nutritious!
I never can pass up what I call Nanay’s Bomb Diggety Spaghetti (she used to put hotdogs to keep up with Pinoy tradition ~ she even made my sis’ separately because she only liked the hotdogs)
Here’s a new side dish that she whipped up: Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks
I now prefer these over the fried green tomatoes🍅 or fried pickles ~ or any other fried greens, for that matter
Who needs mozzarella sticks with these bad boys? 
The Birthday Girl also cooked her special meal! 
Pancit Canton goes well with Lumpia (eggrolls)! 
And let’s not forget the 🎂cake🍰 ~ bring on Tres 🍶Leches🍼 con 🍉frutas: fresas🍓 y 🍍piñas!
Friendly reminder: Pray🙏 just to make it today!

Happy Friday the 13th!
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is where it’s at!
We’re never too old to need our mothers ~ so if they’re still with us, then let’s be grateful!
Add freshly-squeezed OJ to the mix for Vitamin C to combat the cold, and I’ve got it made in the shade!
My own ♥Mommy Aya♥ came through for me during my cold that took its toil and my voice this ♣Spring Break♣.
As a retired Registered Nurse after over 4½ decades, my Nanay attended to me for the first time since I was a child!
Chocolate = the perfect cure to cheer me up, in the form of my mom’s Nutella brownies!
I think that my need to be put on bed rest (while my ♥A&A♥ held vigil by my bedside) was †GOD†‘s way of telling me to slow my roll …
Despite my week ☼off☼ from teaching and tutoring, I had still been on-the-go in the recent wintry weather with my traveling, researching, reporting and photographing!
This juicer doubles as a pitcher!
So much for tracking miles on a fun run or hitting the driving range … for now!

🐶Mad-dogging🐾 and 😸Cat-cheesing😸
Flashback Friday: *ASIA* back ‘n ’09 as always lookin’ fine before we added *ANNIE* to this fam of felines!
Don’t we pet parents want our fun, fine, furry, all-weather friends to have overall good health? That includes our animals’ smile ~ good dental hygiene can prevent long-term adverse health effects. We can’t just chill on their grill!
Every week, I give my felines fluoride treatment to prevent plaque. Plus, they have their toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental treats. Yesterday, I took my little one to her appointment.
BEFORE … Braving the snow: Onto ANNIE‘s dental appointment we go! #DISPObustAFlow
Grin and bare it!
AFTER … Ice = NICE! Lickety Split!
After Annie‘s surgery, she savored her ice cubes to consume water slowly.
My cats have flouride every ☼Sunday☼ and Oravet every Thursday
She has her course of antibiotics, along with her and Big Sis Asia‘s regular dental care!
Following her operation, I’ve monitored her closely.
I reward Annie at the window for being a good sport with Peter Cottontail the Tooth Bunny!
At least today was yet another snow day, so I could stay home to make sure that my snow cat‘s A-OK!
Annie the Fancy Feline is ready to dine!
Today also was Meatless Friday, so she had a special meal!
For the first time since her surgery, I felt and heard her purr!

Happy First Ash Wednesday of Lent 2015!
Starting out the day with fiber and flavor from this fruit-&-berry-packed steel-cut oatmeal!
We can’t go wrong with our meatless options …
Then my greens & dairy in this veggie soup + P.I. cheese on toast!
Thanks to Maggie, I got my fave flavor of Girl Scout cookies!
Both in our meals and our snacks!
