Buying and Money Enough or not Enough

June 11, 2013

Aside from the usual worksheets and reading exercises (teacher reads (while my dd records her teacher’s voice – for her practice reading later), we are focusing on conversational chinese during the school holidays.

Last Sunday, we practiced the following conversation

DD: Mom, we are going to buy something from Cold Storage right? let’s go!

Mom: Yes. What do you want to buy?

DD: I want to buy biscuits and cereal.What do you want to buy?

Mom: I want to buy newspaper and juice.

DD: (looking at the different types of biscuits) Can I buy this mom?

Mom: Is your money enough or not enough?

DD: (not sure)

Mom: Not enough

DD: (picks biscuit of a lower price, then goes to buy cereal.. looks at different type of cereal, picks the smallest box)

Mom: Money not enough!

DD: okay

Mom: Please get a newspaper

DD: okay

Mom: (looks at different type of juice).. I like the pink juice..

Teacher adds: This is guava juice..

Mom, DD, teacher (proceeds to counter): looks at the total $8.00 .. DD only have $2.50..

Mom: Is your money enough?

DD: Not enough

Cashier: (smiles) Oh! you are teaching her Chinese!! :D

With social interactions, one learns the language and grows socially too. We learned through positive learning experiences, which is fun and enriching at the same time. I really recommend Yan Lao Shi to parents and children who are non-Chinese. Am so happy with how she is teaching my DD and indirectly me …

She also brought zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves) for us to try. Tomorrow DD will write something about the zongzi (1 is filled with red bean and the other is filled with pork)…

This is so much fun.

Just for fun! Wake someone up tomorrow

I believe that the whole leaf is better than the isolates,
The isolates have very bad side effects but the whole leaf extracts dont cause side effects such as hair loss.

Ringworm Tree (cassia alta)

February 18, 2013

As its common name suggests Ringworm tree/ bush or cassia alta (also known as acapulko in Tagalaog, kasitas in my mother’s dialect,gelanggang in malay, or candlestick bush, wild senna… It has so many names) which grows in Singapore, malaysia, Philippines, the amazon… Can cure ringworm or buni..

http://www.stuartxchange.com/Akapulko.html

Tatay developed buni or ringworm on his left foot after drinking olive leaf tea, which I think is a healing reaction, he didnt clean his colon and liver so the reactions manifested on the skin instead of down and out in the bowels… He saw the bush on the sidewalk and pointed it to nanay, he said its supposed to cure ringworm but he forgot how it is applied. Nanay remembered that it is called kasitas in the Bicolano dialect. I googles it and found it in stuart exchange.

However, i followed wikipedia’s version on how to make a poultice out of the leaves and stems, i added olive oil and blended the leaves, stems and oil until it looked like a wet cotton wool.

I applied it on tatay’s skin last night and we saw immediate improvement this morning. 25 percent of the scab is gone. The redness, swelling and it itchiness down by almost 60 percent. It probably works for eczema flare ups.

Notice that my daughter was watching us while playing piano, decided to leave the piano to give her full attention to the Activity, hope that she learns valuable life skills through this.. Another teachable moment.

Self (LDM) Lymphatic Drainage Massage

January 16, 2013

Am now comfortable to do the next step which is lymphatic cleansing, since my I have done colon cleansing for more than 1 month now

I performed LDM (Lymphatic Drainage Massage ) on myself daily starting last Saturday (so that is 4 days of daily skin brushing and LDM).

This youtube playlist is so easy to follow.. you can do this anywhere.. office, bus, your bedroom. 

Why cleanse the colon first before LDM? 

Its because when the lymph gets rid of accumulated waste in your nodes, after it goes to the bloodstream and gets filtered by the kidneys, the toxic wastes go out either via skin (perspiration), stools or urine.  If it is going out via stools you want to ensure your colon is working well so it wont stagnate. Also ensure you perspire everyday and also drink enough water so you can urinate all those toxins away.
