Michelle and I went to MacDonald for supper. Well supper for me but dinner for her. She had Prosperity burger and I ate onion rings and French Fries. We had a good talk over the food.
The next day, she complained of stomach ache. Not because of food poisoning but because of irregular eating time. It was way from her dinner time and because of that the stomach experienced discomfort. Must force her to have her regular eating time. Good eating habits will ensure good health too.
Lately we have been noticing Clarissa’s emotional development. As she is nearing her 3 birthday which is very soon, she is very aware of her other people’s moods. And she is learning about her own moods too. We can see that her dispositions, sometimes quiet, sometimes adventurous or even gregarious are becoming more apparent.
Everytime when she does not get something that she wants, she will cry with tears easily coming out from her eyes. Then she will cry out, “I want mommy, I want mommy” or “I want daddy, I want daddy” even though it was the mommy or daddy that scolded her. She is now easily hurt by unkind words. Another development that we noticed is that she would try and get our attention as much as possible. There seems to be an unspoken contest between her and her older sister Annabelle. Whenever we praised Annabelle for being able to do something, Clarissa would also try to get the same praises. Of course we do praise her for her efforts.
If your children are behaving like Clarissa, do not scold them. Yes, it can be very irritating at times but do understand that this is a stage that your children have to go through. It is a good emotional development for your children as it helps them to be aware of the various emotions that God has given to us human beings. A general respect for how they respond to the world will help them feel accepted. So let them know you love them just the way they are.
Mother will come back tomorrow. She has been away from the house for about three weeks now. I thank God that her health is better and she is able to move from one place to another. I’ve seen many who are in sickness even before they reached the age of 60. Mother is now above 70 and is still strong and healthy for her age.
It is not easy to care for the elderly. Some would have gotten amnesia and would not remember much. They would not even recognize their own children or grandchildren. And if the elderly is sick, it takes lots of patience and love to care for them. Of course, nowadays the first option would be to send the elderly to a nursing home. If you are staying in New York City, you can send your elderly to the nursing homes in New York City.
There are some who feels that it is better for the children to care for their aging parents. There are pros and cons on whether to send the aging parents to nursing home. Whatever you decide let it all be done in love. As for now, I pray that mother would live a long healthy life.
My children and myself are coughing again! Could it be something that we ate? Wife is fine. Maybe it has been cold every night now. Yup, cold weather caused us to cough.
Will be going for church camp today till Sunday. I just hope I can stand the air-cond room for 3 days. Praying hard that God will heal us from the cough completely.
I have finally signed up for the church camp. It will be on Sept 14-16 at Bayu Beach Resort in Port Dickson.
I hope by then, none of my children is sick so that we could really enjoy the camp and playing on the beach and swimming too.
I am thinking for buying the vitamin for my children from USANA to boost their immune system. Their products are quite costly but it is very effective. I think I will just have to force them to take their supplements. 
Most of us who use the computer would risk having carpal tunnel problem. Especially if we use the computer most of the time and need to type continuously. Do take care and exercise your hand regularly. I do hope this post will help all of us to be more careful.

Exercises for relief from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
While you are receiving treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome regular exercise sessions can help your rapid recovery. We have included some photos and explanations of recommended exercises.
The following exercises may be prescribed by your healthcare provider in conjunction with Low Level Laser therapy. In the photos you will see below, the right wrist is the one being exercised. If your left wrist is affected, do the same exercises with the left hand.
When doing each of these exercises, the hand should be flexed until a sensation of stretching is felt in the arm. The position should be held for 10 to 15 seconds for each of 10 repetitions. Try to this set of exercises three times a day.
————————————————————-
Exercises 1 and 2 flex and extend the hand and stretch the wrist. Bend the hand as shown in the photos and apply moderate pressure to it with the other hand.
Exercise 1 - Wrist Flexion Bend the hand being exercised backward (palm away from you), as shown in the photos. With the fingers of the other hand, apply pressure.
Exercise 2 - Wrist Extension Bend the hand being exercised forward ( palm toward you), as shown in the photos. With the fingers of the other hand, apply pressure.
Exercises 3 and 4 are similar to 1 and 2 except that an object, such as a pad provides the resistance to the hand, instead of your other hand.
Exercise 3 - Wrist Flexion against surface With your arm held vertically, press your hand, palm down, on a firm surface, as shown in the photo.

Laser Evangelist has generously given a link of an article on CTS . I found it to be very informative and useful. Do check it out.
Well, not many have known the benefit of hoodia. At least not here in Asia. Hoodia Gordonii is now well known in America as one of the best diet products. It is originally found in South Africa and have been used by the native as a hunger suppressant when they need to travel long journey. Basically, when you take hoodia (pure hoodia is still the best) your mind will inform your body that you have already eaten and the desire to eat will disappear. Proper usage and combined with a balance diet plan, it is good product to maintain healthy and fit body. It is used mainly in a weight loss diet program.
Okay, now that I have got your attention about weight loss, let me invite you to check out hoodia-reviews.net. There are many hoodia products out there and it is indeed difficult to find out which one is real and which one is a scam. Hoodia-reviews.net is where the information about hoodia products comes in handy. You will see the reviews of hoodia products and the best hoodia products will be listed in the website. If you cannot see any hoodia products that you have bought listed in the website, it probably means that the hoodia products that you bought is not a good buy. The website gives a brief review of the best products in the market. One thing that would be good to be added in the website is the method on how these products are tested. A list of comparisons would also be beneficial and helpful to the readers. Having said that, it is still a good website to go to check out about the hoodia products.
Let me introduce to you one website that you should visit. Go to www.myfitnesspal.com and you will find something that is helpful for your fitness plan. I should assume that you are interested to keep your body fit and healthy. The website has one free service for you i.e. the free calorie counter. With it you can enter the type of food that you consume everyday and it will count the amount of calories in it. It is good and important to know the amount of calories that you are taking everyday. This can help you with your diet so that you can plan for a balance and healthy diet. Just ensure that the calories burned by your body should be adequately replaced in your diet.
Besides the free calorie counter you can also receive free dieting tips. We are not just talking about slimming diet in particular but healthy and nutritional diets that everyone should have. Always bear in mind that each of us will have different types and amount of nutritions depending on our age, gender, body built, ethnic, location, and everyday activities. With these knowledge as the background information, I do hope you will find a good and suitable diet for yourself.
Here to good health… cheers!
Got this recipe from the group I subscribed. Has yet to try it but… feel free to play with it…
1 cup olive oil (or oil of your choice)
1 room-temperature egg (remove the embryo)
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
a few drops essential oil (I like Rosemary and Clary Sage or coconut oil and amla oil)
Blend it all together until it becomes thick and creamy. Apply it on dry hair (I usually oil my hair with coconut oil the night before I wash, so I put it on oiled hair), wrap your head in plastic wrap/shower cap and a towel, and let it sit for an hour or so. Wash and condition as usual, and your hair will be soft as silk.
I received a forward email about how Vicks Vaporub is able to stop coughing especially for children. When the weather is cold at night, they will start coughing. So I tried applying the vaporub on their feet and wear them socks before sleep. It works. No coughing during the night. After a few days, cough completely gone.
