Cooking with Pressure Cooker
I'll tell you something ha...if you're a professional cook, please don't laugh at me, okay? :D
1. Check recipe for specific cooking method and cooking time.Pour required amount of liquid into the pressure cooker, then add food. Use the cooking rack, if desired. | ||
2. Hold cover up to light and look through the vent pipe to make certain it is open and unclogged. Then, place cover on pressure cooker and close securely (cover handle should be directly above the body handle). | ||
3. Place pressure regulator firmly on the vent pipe. Heat the pressure cooker until the pressure regulator begins to rock slowly. Adjust heat to maintain a slow, steady rocking motion. Cooking time begins at this point. | ||
4. Cook for the length of time specified in recipe, then reduce pressure as specified. When recipe states "let pressure drop of its own accord," set the cooker aside to cool. When recipe states "cool cooker at once," cool immediately under a water faucet or by pouring cold water over it. | ||
5. Pressure is completely reduced when the air vent/cover lock has dropped. Remove the pressure regulator. Then, remove pressure cooker cover and serve food. |
Now, I think I have to buy a more modern type of pressure cooker. :D

Our socializing has moved to FaceBook, YouTube and MySpace. Our communications are emailed, texted or Skyped. Breaking news can now be fed instantly via RSS feeds to our computers or cell phones instead of waiting for the six o’clock news. The Internet is very much a main part of human society today.”

One way to reach the public customer is through EXHIBIT
I am not sure but what I’ve heard is that we’re going to participate again on a trade exhibit next year. If ever, I guess we will not have the same problems like the last time since I now found out a very reliable supplier for our trade show requirements --Camelback Displays. I was amazed of the various designs on their website. So I think next year we will have a fabulous display area.

Brown Raise
What is a Filipino?In 1542 to 1877, the word “Filipino” referred to a Spaniard living in the Philippines---the rest of the natives were called, “Indios.”
In 1878, José Rizal, for the first time, used the word Filipino to refer to the native population in the country.
In 1998, a Greek dictionary defined the word “Filipina”, as a domestic helper.
Today, “Filipinos” is the brand name for a series of biscuit snacks made by Kraft Foods in Europe.
In Boracay, a white man was heard calling a waitress, “Hey monkey, come here!” and the poor Filipina dutifully approached.
Sad but true, the perception of a Filipino today is a striking contrast during the time of Rizal when Filipinos in Europe were referred to as “the glory of the universities”.
F.Sionil Jose’s article “Why We Are Poor” looks back in the 50s and 60s when the Philippines was still the most envied country in Southeast Asia. Today, we are alongside Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ghana, in terms of economic and social standing.
The Brown Raise is a movement to CREATE A NEW PATH for the Filipino people—that his world need not always have to revolve around the shallowness of money, pleasure and survival, but that he is also capable of remarkable character, dignity, honor, visions for humanity and depths of nationhood.
The Brown Raise is a movement that seeks to unlock the secrets and strengths of a race and country which was once called, “the pearl of the orient seas”, and to discover and pursue the Philippines’ unique contribution to the hall of nations.
Simply put, this movement was birthed to help Filipinos look up to themselves with dignity and worth.Tuesday, October 21, 2008 | Labels: Brown Raise, thinking out loud | 0 Comments

10 principles of good parenting - continued
6. Foster your child’s independence. Setting limits helps your child develop a sense of self-control. Encouraging independence helps him or her develop a sense of self-direction. To be successful in life, your child needs both.
There is no perfect parenting but at least there are tips that will help us parents on how to guide and parent our children. For that, I am thankful! :)

10 Principles of Parenting
Here are 10 principles of good parenting according to Steinberg:
- What you do matters. Your kids are watching you. Don’t just react on the spur of the moment. Think “what do I want to accomplish, and is this likely to produce result?”
- Show your love. You cannot be too loving. Everyday, tell your children how much you love them. Give lots of hugs and kisses. It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love. What we often think of as the product of spoiling a child is never result of showing a child too much love. It is usually the consequence of giving child things in place of love – like leniency, lowered expectations, or material possessions.
- Be involved in your child’s life. Being an involved parent takes time, hard work, and means rethinking and rearranging your priorities, It frequently means sacrificing what you want to do for what your child needs to do. Be there mentally as well as physically.
- Adapt your parenting to fit your child. Keep pace with your child’s development. Consider how age affects the child’s behavior.
- Establish and set rules. The rules your child has learned from you are going to shape the rules he applies to himself. If you don’t manage your child’s behaviour when he us young, he will have a hard time learning how to manage himself when he gets older, especially when you’re not around. At any time, you should always be able to answer these: Where is my child? Who is with my child? What is my child doing?Provide order in your child’s life. Keep a regular schedule of meal, naps and bedtimes. If you have to change the schedule, tell your child about the changes ahead of time. However, you cannot micromanage your child. Once he or she is in middle school, you need to let the child do his or her own homework and make his own choices.

Is it all about money?
"You can save money but money cannot save you"
True enough you can save money but in the end it cannot save you. Let us not put our trust in money. It will come and go. It gives no satisfaction. People will never feel enough but always the lack of it. In times like these, let us put our trust in God for He's the only one who can satisfy.

Last night, we went to the nearby supermarket to buy some ingredient for the tuna pesto pasta that I'm planning to make. Since the little girl didn't want mommy to leave, I brought her with me.

Genealogy
I can’t believe that people has been tracing the family genealogy of Christ. A fiction book was even written about it followed by a movie. Personally I don’t think that’s possible.
Speaking of family genealogy, I am really curious about tracing my own ancestors. I am hoping that I’ll be able to find it out with publicgenealogy.org. I might even know, I’m a descendant of one of our country’s hero? :D

The Balancing Act of Parenting
Back to my parenting nuggets this time.
The Balancing Act of Parenting
by: Harold J. Sala
I didn't say anything, but I began to reflect on the fact that parenting is constant struggle to maintain balance.
Observation 1: The wise parent has to balance expectations with abilities.
Observation 2: The wise parent has to balance love and discipline.
Observation 4: Successful parenting has to balance turning loose with holding on.
Insight:
"Parenting is bringing out the best in our children without condemning them for what they cannot do or making them feel inadequate when they fail to meet our expectations."
