My Health Advocacy Part 20 (After Photo at The End of The Post)

“What?”

“Do you want to do the Spartan Program?”

Do keep in mind that the TR90 kit costs Php100,000 or ~$2,000 with a member’s discounted price of Php70,000 or ~$1,350, no small sum in a third world country like the Philippines.

Jar Entry #67 – British Vikings

Hazel’s cousins Petita and Bernadette, along with Isaac and Auntie Cecile, were back from Palawan and since the Brits were leaving in a couple of days, the other relatives arranged for lunch in Vikings, SM Jazz Mall.

It was good to see the Cabigas cousins again. It’s kinda funny that these third cousins of Hazel have a closer bond with her than most of her first or second cousins. The fact that we’ve bonded over food and drinks over the years is pretty awesome too. And even Nixi got to hang out with them as well.

My Health Advocacy Part 16

Continuing my discussion about the Spartan Transformation Program, the TR90 Weight Management System is made up of the following products: Lifepak, Jumpstart, Complex, Cntrl, and Trimshake. These come in a kit with instructions, a shaker, measuring tape, a Karada scale, a plate with divisions,  and all in a large bag that fits them all. This is how the four products are used:

Jar Entry #54 – Nixi’s 7th Month!

My Health Advocacy will resume tomorrow.

Today, we celebrate Nixi’s seventh month! Yes, it’s been seven months since she was born and it’s milestone after milestone these days. She is developing quickly and her mind is becoming more and more active. What milestones you say? Let me count the ways:

Jar Entry #50 – Interlude continued

Today we got to sleep in for a bit and as soon as we got up we got ready to leave. It’s time to visit Papa Boy, Oneal, Rej, and Lucas in Tahanan Village! Don’t forget to watch the adorable video near the end of the post!

Jar Entry #49 – Interlude

My Heath Advocacy continues on Monday.

Today after working on an early patient, I returned home so we could get ready. Today we were going to join Hazel’s Woodrose high school friends for lunch in Manam. Dol, Arlene, Lauren, Carlos, Rhea and her two daughters, and Audrey, Dol’s daughter, were going to join us there. You see, it was Dol’s birthday the other day, and she wanted to celebrate after her classes in AIM.

Jar Entry #43 – Balay Dako

We woke up at 4:30 am today so that we could make it to Balay Dako (Big House) early enough to be seated at once.

You see, there are guests who are visiting from Hawaii, Earnie and Leilani Juan, and Hazel’s parents wanted to treat them to the breakfast buffet of Balay Dako, a restaurant in Tagaytay that is often packed. We took two cars, with the in-laws, the Juans and the Fontes, Jamie and Gilbert, in the Fortuner, while we, the Roseros, used our CR-V.

Jar Entry #21

The day didn’t start out very well. We went to Asian Hospital to give Nixi a checkup with the dermatologist but heading back to parking after, I couldn’t find the parking ticket! So weird especially since I’m usually so diligent about it. Had to pay a steep penalty and left in a bad mood.

Good thing the rest of the day turned out to be better and the highlight was when we tried out a new Korean barbecue restaurant in Molito, Alabang. It’s called Yoree and I love that the food tasted good and the servings were very substantial. They were also reasonably priced considering the quality and quantity. And the place was pretty classy. We’re definitely going back there!

Rounded out our Korean evening having dessert in Ice Flower, and it was surprisingly better than when we last went there in 2015. Looks like they’re stepping up!

I’m glad we got to end the day on a higher note. Putting Nixi to bed will be our final challenge of the day. Good night, all!

Jar Entry #14

We’re supposed to have dinner in the in-law’s place in Alabang and I was cooking the main dish. Unfortunately, after looking all over, I couldn’t find the pork belly I needed. I settled for the side belly and it turned out to be quite good! Still better with the belly and now I have the number for Monterey Meats in Landmark so I can reserve one in advance next time!
