A different way of cooking hotdogs for kids
Andre loves hotdogs as much as I do, and all kids do! I know that we should avoid kids eating processed foods like hotdogs, but it would be impossible because they are really delicious and parent like me also love them. Maybe we just have to limit them from eating them everyday. Twice a week will do. 
I was thinking of a different way of cooking hotdogs. Normally, hotdogs are cooked by frying and grilling. This time, I am cooking hotdogs the different way. Since Andre loves hotdogs and catsup, I have come-up with a recipe using both. Here it goes:
I used 12 pcs of cocktail hotdogs and sliced them diagonally. I sautéed 1 medium chopped onion in 1 tsp cooking oil and 1 tbsp butter. Then I added the hotdogs and 2 tbsp of catsup. I let them cook for about 3 minutes and seasoned with salt and ground pepper.
Voila! A new hotdog recipe that kids will surely love. It is so easy diba!
On getting fit
At last! I have found a fitness center near our place. It is not as big and as beautiful as the facilities of Fitness First or Gold’s Gym. I used to work out at these fitness centers but all my membership fees were wasted because of being so lazy to go to the gym because I have no one to go with me that time. Thus, I ended up working out in a small gym near our house that time and it helped me to lose weight. It doesn’t matter to me if the gym isn’t equipped with new fitness equipment, as long as I have a program to follow for every workout and there’s someone to assist me during work out. Besides, the more important is the gym ‘principles’. One advantage is the cost because it is cheaper compared with the famous gyms.
The gym that I am planning to work at is similar to the gym that I used to worked out at, small and have only few girls working out. That’s fine with me. My goal here is to lose weight and the good part is Abeth is planning to join me. He also wants to get rid of his tummy. 
I’m also thinking of checking out some weight loss supplements reviews to find the best supplement to help me in losing weight. Wish us luck!
Pimple-Free
I am lucky to have a pimple-free face now. I used to have pimples before getting married, maybe because of the stress caused by the wedding preparations, hehe. It lasted until the time before I got pregnant. Since then, I didn’t experience pimple problems again. Sometimes, a pimple would appear and would dry out easily, which is different with the ones I had before that lasted for months. I have no special soap or treatment for my face. I just wash my face with a facial wash and rinse it with tap water. I sometimes prepare my own facial treatment by mixing some sugar and a bit of olive oil to exfoliate my face. I think it is effective because I am now pimple-free and there’s no need for me to undergo expensive acne treatment .
The importance of first aid
This September, it will be the second year since the death of Abeth’s uncle. It was an unexpected death because he died due to a heart attack. He was only 40 years old then and it was very painful for his wife and two children because it was really unexpected. They weren’t expecting that a heart attack will cause his death because he has a “clean-living”. He doesn’t eat fatty foods, he’s not a drinker, and not even a smoker. It is the instances like this I realize the importance of having the knowledge in doing CPR and other emergency procedures. I am not aware if there are schools that offer first aid, CPR, and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) courses. With a know-how on first aids, a life could be saved in times of emergencies.
