March is that month where my paperwork is going to be up there with the great inches under sleepless nights, hired secretary, and green tea fix daily.

I am glad that the lady behind the counter of the stationery shop [aka SCHOOL SUPPLIES store] introduced me to this ball pen.

What's in a name? Laknock... hmmm... 'Knock' seems to be the general bad translation of the Japanese for 'retractable'. As a retractable however, the Laknock does not lack knock. Perhaps it's La-Knock? 'The knock' in a sort of Anglo-Franco-Japanese-kinda-way. Or maybe not. Perhaps some things are just unknowable - a known unknown of the pen world. I'll go and have a lie down now.  (text from cultpens.com) TRY their....

summer 2013 theme song # 1

another shot of funny video. this time with a thud-fat shark

let's proceed, class.....what DO YOU call a young shark?

answer...A PUP, sir!

the reptile-based codigo ( otherwise known as "mnemonics")

I have thought for a mnemonic device on simple present tense and the He/She /It connection.

So, the technique is: THINK a deadly snake and one person/thing/animal (HE, SHE, IT,), Draw a sticky person and an "S" (that "s" is the snake).

             

                         

   He/She/It    loves, picks, logs out

photo: 123rf.com

So NEXT time: when there is a HESHEIT sighting,  put some SNAKE AFTER THE VERB!!!

example: 1.  He gives a burst of energy every day.

               2.  She welcomes the friends with a smile!

note: I/WE/THEY-------------drop the snake!!!

is green tea good for kidney stones?

Kidney stones, also known as urinary calculi, are crystallized particles of minerals in your urine. According to experts at the University of Kansas Medical Center, kidney stones affect around 1 in 20 adults in the United States, and most individuals who pass their first kidney stone will have a recurrence within 10 years. If you have ever had a kidney stone, you may have been advised to avoid tea, spinach, chocolate and other oxalate-containing foods.

Oxalate Stones

Approximately three-quarters of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. Oxalate is a simple 2-carbon molecule that is a byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism in plants. Your body also produces oxalate and excretes it into your urine, where it combines with calcium and other ions. If your urine is concentrated and acidic, calcium oxalate crystals can precipitate and grow, much like a hailstone. Reducing oxalate consumption may help prevent kidney stones.

Oxalates in Tea

The oxalate content of different teas varies significantly, according to a 2002 review in "Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition." In this study, oxalate levels in green and oolong teas ranged from .23 to 1.15 mg/g of tea leaves, while black teas contained nearly five times as much. A September 2008 study in "Urological Research" showed that high-quality green teas and those from certain regions of China, such as the Zhejiang province, contained more oxalate than other green teas. The authors of this study cautioned people with kidney stones to be aware of the variability in oxalate content of different green tea products.

Is Oxalate Important?

Some experts, including Dr. Linda Massey at Washington State University, have questioned the usefulness of oxalate restriction in kidney stone formers, remarking that only a handful of foods -- tea, chocolate, rhubarb, wheat germ, strawberries, spinach, beets and nuts -- contain enough oxalate to contribute to kidney stones. Furthermore, green tea may actually exert an inhibitory effect on kidney stone formation. In 2005, Japanese scientists demonstrated that green tea consumption decreased urinary oxalate excretion and reduced calcium oxalate stone formation in laboratory animals.

Considerations

Oxalate-containing stones are among the most common types of urinary calculi, and dietary oxalate restriction is a standard approach to preventing recurrent kidney stones. Tea, including green tea, contains oxalate in varying concentrations, depending on the quality, origin and processing of the leaves. Although green tea is attributed with many health benefits, and there is some evidence that green tea could exert preventive effects on kidney stone formation, you should ask your doctor if green tea is appropriate for you.

MY cortisol moment for the Day: that building along Velez Street

MY CORTISOL MOMENT FOR THE DAY:  Hospital. I have this on and off fever and pain on the sides with painful urination. I have some RBC's in my urine, says my doctor.

Procedure: ultrasound.................Random Thought: Scared like Scooby-Doo

the so-called "binaki"

Ground beef....ground pork...ground stuff, more or less!

Since the doctor and my bladder (I think kidneys too) told me about UTI...

I started to appreciate gumbo (from yuck to wow!), bland food (from more dash of salt to nothing)

My latest passion is: binaki and that is the Visayan term for that sweet dish in a corn husk wherein somebody puts stuff ---that yellow ground corn kernels!!!!!

No oil, No annoying oil, just Health in your mind.

If others say I LOVE PARIS, I must say I LOVE BINAKI!!!!!!!!!!!!




thanks AF for the picture and the text below


Binaki is steamed cake made of grated young corn with powdered milk, baking powder and sugar mixed with water. It is a known delicacy of Northern Mindanao and was originally a homemade dessert in Bukidnon. 

In the native language, naming the delicacy “binaki” is pretty weird since the term sounds likebaki, which is the vernacular for frog. This delicacy has nothing to do with frogs, though, and it doesn’t taste like one either. The assumption as to why it is called like that is maybe because the corn cake when wrapped with corn husk resembles frog legs.

My first try of binaki was when I went to Malaybalay, the capital city of Bukidnon. It was all over the plaza and a lot of people were happily eating it while watching groups of participants dancing on the street for the Kaamulan Festival. 

I stopped taking photos and went to the corner where binaki of different sizes were displayed. The sweetness was mouthwatering and one piece was not enough. Though the texture was not as smooth as a regular cake, the goodness of the mashed creamy corn was heavenly.

In Cagayan de Oro, vendors of binaki are just around the streets of Divisoria and Cogon Market. If made with the best choice of ingredients, clean and hardworking hands, and with patient preparation, binaki will be one of the most delicious hunger reliever to an empty stomach.
