Planking! To be fun and creative or to be plain stupid?!


Planking... 

I have been noticing that there is a new craze in town! It’s planking or the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank. source 


Planking has been in the news lately and of course in social networking sites. Of course, some people might not understand the logic behind this craze. Some people actually think it’s just stupid. But for those who have done it or even plans of doing it, they say that it's the most fun you can have being still.

As for me, I don’t know if I will ever try it… but I admire the people who have done it. I believe it is a form of expression and sometimes might even be called a form of art. Who would ever think that planking can be done at odd places such as on top of signages, on top of toilet cubicles or even light posts?! I believe it takes a lot of guts, creativity and skill for a person to attempt planking in such odd places.

But on a serious note, there’s a man in Australia who died for trying to plank on a balcony, plummeting 7 stories to the ground. source

So if ever you want to try to join the craze… please think it over and over again…

Now, would you even dare to try planking?

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

12.12 : Our forever princess birthday

Image
     Today is 12.12 and this is not just a special day as a lot are on sale in Lazada and Shopee… but because this is the day our princess was born 12 years ago. Giulia is truly an answered prayer, indeed one of God’s greatest gift to our family.       As Giulia grows older, I notice that she is growing to be like me, but definitely a better version. She is smart, witty and funny- actually a natural comedienne. She is a very confident and not self conscious. She is a friend to everyone. She is also very caring,  sweet and thoughtful. She is not selfish as she always thinks about what her brother likes.       I am so grateful that Giulia is like my best friend. I ask her for her fashion advice, on what looks good on me or not. She is better in color combination as I only know blue, black or white. She is also our go-to with techy stuff and socmed apps. Now, she sometimes does my make up as she now knows how to use highlighter, c...
