Quite wonderful day yesterday without snow and without rain, it was so amazing! Wishing that everyday is just like that. So enough left over foods. My husband had panfried tilapia turned out the fish inside the package was ling cod fillets. They were in the same package and color label except that not fillet of tilapia. Oh darn! To tell you the truth, the taste? Not much of difference. Then we had steamed rice because as you know my daughter loves to have rice most of the time especially if we have pork veggie sinigang (tamarind soup) or chicken curry. Their dad loves potatoes more than rice. Bread and potatoes for White people. My daughter has fair skin complexion compared with her dad but she loves rice more than potatoes or bread.
For me, I can eat rice, potatoes or bread as main staple food. They are carbohydrates and of course the body needs more protein than carbohydrates. Today, I have to clean the milkfish and cook it with coconut milk if there is still an available can in our pantry, otherwise settle for fried milkfish instead.
I gained at least 2-3 lbs. and I don't like it. I should have diet > New Year's Resolution this coming 2026.
So far, life's been good to me. Thank You God!🙏 I have my good family with me and I have good friends. Plus, having blogs as platform for my artworks and my rants...what else could I ask for? Oh, I know I always forget that I'm on dialysis. Darn it!! Is there a way that things could be reversed? I mean right now my body feels okay. I don't have symptoms of an ailment except that I have a catheter on my chest. My BP is normal, everything seems normal to me.
Just that I have fear of going out especially in a crowded place. I don't like to catch any illness, flu or virus. Just recently, a friend of mine had a sore throat and after dialysis she was unable to stand up and the nurse said that she'll be taken to the ER. OMG! This happened when she attended a get together and a couple in that party had colds. Just like that how fast it spreads. I knew that she had been vaccinated for anti-Covid and flu but why she still got infected? Well, I hope and pray for her speedy recovery.
NEW YEAR'S EVE on Wednesday night. Celebration of New Year in Canada is different from the Philippines. It is much noisier and busier in Philippines with all the banging of drums, pots and pans, trumpets and noises from bamboo canons, firecrackers and many noises that you can think of to welcome the New Year. Its not even New Year and there are kids already having sparklers. Well that was when I was there don't know if the old tradition has been changed. The Food Feast usually called the Noche Buena (Christmas Midnight Food Fest.) then the Media Noche for the New Year Midnight Food Fest rather it is a Feast.
Why it is celebrated on Midnight not at dinner time? I don't know for sure. It is more like a tradition. Maybe because of religious belief that you must attend the Church Mass first on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve and after the mass (don't know how long the mass during at the time of Spanish colonization from 15th to 18th Century) Maybe the Mass was longer than 2 hours and takes more hours when the queque for the Holy Communion took hours and hours as it depends on the population of the parish community. Who knows, could be a long line up for those who would like to confess at the booth. Devoted Catholics must confess their sins first before they are given a Holy Communion. Don't know if this is being followed in our generation.
We are no longer in the Past we must live today. Think about TODAY, TOMORROW & THE FUTURE.
GOD BLESS US! 💓👌👼🙏GOOD LUCK!
