For those of you who knew me, my eating plenty of vegetables and fruits is unusual . I was not fond of vegetables. i ate so few of them. I ate lots of junk foods. Yup, a big mistake! Chips, chocolates, and softdrinks just to name a few. Above all, i love eating salty and spicy junk foods which are usually bought in packs. I could finish big pack of my favorite chips. in just one sitting.
Three months ago, i got sick. I was so sick I was hospitalized. I had urinary tract infection. My fever was so high I was chilling and my feet was so cold. I had difficulty urinating. And i had to urinate very often. When i got better, I was munching on junk foods again. And again, i got sick. This time I was chilling so hard I couldn't control the shaking. About 11 p.m. my fever soared and my feet went so cold again. They applied cold compress to subside my fever. By the time my fever subside, i was already vomiting until 6 a.m. I thought i was going to die. I couldn't stop vomiting even when my stomach was already empty. They wanted to rush me to the hospital but i declined. i don't want to be in the same hospital where i believed i lost my child. I was only relieved when i had taken plasil which my father bought. In my place, there is no 24-hour open pharmacy.
After that incident, promised not to eat junk foods specially those spicy and salty chips . Not just for my sake but for the people who love me. I was so thankful of my parents. they stayed awake that night. My father was the one holding me when i am puking. Mom was beside me caressing my hair conching me to sleep and pray.

I'm trying to rid of my cravings for junk foods . My doctor also advised to drink plenty of water, at least 10 glasses a day. And to use feminine wash. i'm using pH care. As of now, i'm doing fine. I have not eaten any of those salty and spicy junk foods i used to eat.
So, for those of you who are not fond of vegetables and fruits, and loves spicy and salty foods instead, you better think twice.

Whenever we go to the wet market, i buy hot bibingka. It's so yummy when served hot with cheese on top. Yum. yummy The dessert is baked in a specially-made clay oven, with a layer of hot coals over it. The couple who are cooking bibingka are right on the side of the entrance of the market. And they have many patrons waiting in line. That includes us :) We also gave bibingka to out friends who were with us in the market. It's nice to share this hot dessert.

2. Dissolve the sugar in 1/2 of the coconut milk.
3. Mix and sift dry ingredients and add by spoonfuls to sugar and coconut milk mixture.
4. Add the rest of the coconut milk alternately with the dry ingredients, starting with the dry ingredients, and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat well. Add the well-beaten eggs and melted margarine.
