Hypertension !!!

Great are people who have no problem with regards to their health.

Tsk..tsk!

My family acquired through generations (I guess) the illness of being hypertensive -- if you may call it an illness.

I still remember when I was still young when 'tatay' would go to his doctor for a regular check up on his blood pressure. Also, 'nanay' did the same thing. My father actually had been hypertensive even he was still as young as 12 years old. Nanay would tell me that his first time application for joining the Philippine Army was a failure because of a high blood pressure result. But of course, after a series of carbo intake discipline my father joined the military in 1951.

Happy 38th Birthday to me

My birthdays weren't really celebrated with parties, drinks or even balloons when I was a kid. As I remember, Nanay used to cooked "pancit bihon" and or "adobong manok" and that would be our family menu for lunch.

Last year, a small bonding time with my siblings was organized by hubby plus of course, the sweet kisses from my two sons. :)

This year it was also celebrated as simple as it used to be.  We, (of course kuya john, luiz and my hubb) just went to Market Market again to celebrate the event.  Actually, it wasn't planned at all until my phone rang and hubby told me to fix the children and myself because he had rendered half-day service from his work in Marriott Hotel.
