Guess what we had during my recent birthday celebration? Some sushi overload!

My relatives and friends are not here with me and I spent my birthday with my husband’s sister and her family. Just a simple get-together with lots of sushi. My husband initially thought of an eat-all-you-can night out in a Japanese restaurant but it seems that our schedules won’t jibe so we just ordered some sushi and took them to my sister in law’s house.
Sushi is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice combined with other ingredients (and the most common of which are seafood). In North America and Europe, variations of sushi were created (such as california and other popular rolls) but in Japan, the most common types of sushi are narezushi, nigirizushi, oshizushi, chirashizushi, inarizushi and makizushi.
Sushi is one of the few foods that women are advised not to eat when they are pregnant for health reasons. This is because some large fish, such as tuna (especially bluefin), can harbor high levels of mercury. In addition, if not properly handled, it can be a cause of food poisoning and parasite infection risks. I am almost halfway through my pregnancy right now and I admit that I am quite guilty when it comes to sushi eating because I love this Japanese food a lot!
Do you also love sushi? When was the last time you ate it?
Now that the winter chill is beginning to give way to the summer heat (it’s still spring, by the way), we’re spending more and more time at the park. Here’s Georyl while she’s sliding down the… well, slide.
Weeeee!!!!
The picture above was taken at a park near our place. It’s is Georyl’s favorite play in the park. She just loves sliding down, whether it’s the spiral one (like the green one in the above picture) or just the straight one.
Someday, we’ll try to have some backyard playground equipment for Georyl but for now, a visit to the park in the afternoon or in the early morning would be nice.
Do you (or someone you know) suffer from muscle, joint and body, respiratory, arterial, digestive tract widespread body cell inflammation and its related health problems?
I’ve heard of a tasty wellness drink called Nopalea which came from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica). It is said that the Nopal cactus have healing properties relied on for centuries by native peoples and Trivita makes them available through Nopalea.
Each 32–ounce bottle of Nopalea brims with the health benefits of the Nopal fruit. Taking Nopalea daily helps your body neutralize its inner toxins and reduce its inflammation. It claims to contain rare and potent antioxidants (called betalains) that have been scientifically proven to help the body reduce inflammation. In addition to reducing inflammation, the manufacturers claim that taking Nopalea daily can help your body cleanse itself of daily toxins and promote optimal health.
Over 3 million bottles of Nopalea had been sold already but if you’re not ready to take the plunge yet, you can try Nopalea for free by calling 1-800-203-7063. Just only pay $9.95 for shipping. You can also learn more about it by visiting their website.

Every blogger knows that even though they use plug-ins or other software to deter spammers, they just can’t do away with spam comments. Later on, you just got to accept the fact that it’s a way of living in the blogosphere – hate it or laugh at it.
There are times when you really know that spam bots are leaving those unintelligible sentences but when real people post spam comments from sites (not like http://www.testosteronesupplements.org/syntheroid/ but usually related to drugs or medicine), you wonder why they even try spending their time doing so.
Any idea?
