AUSTRALIA HARVEST: Locked down. Looking to heavens. Fiber up!

RAMADAN 2020:
Locked down.  Looking to heavens.  Fiber up!

        Ramadan is just around the corner for our Muslim community.  This year’s Ramadan will start tomorrow, 23rd of April 2020, and will end after a month.  I would like to take this opportunity to extend my warmest greetings to all the Muslims as we observe the Holy Month of Ramadan. It is a great opportunity for all of us to purify our minds, body, heart and soul by fasting and praying-- two of the five pillars of Islam (the other three being faith, charity, and the pilgrimage to Mecca). It is also a time to welcome peace, prosperity and happiness all around the world.


           One important preparation is the quality of suhoor food. Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal that one eats, before fasting for the day.  Suhoor food must be high in fiber and protein to provide long-lasting energy throughout the fast.  Dates, eggs, oatmeal and fruits are some of the classic, favorite foods for suhoor.

        As we all know, the whole world is currently facing a battle with our invisible enemy (Covid-19). Most countries are either in lock-down or are still on stay-home quarantine orders because of this Pandemic. Most of us are now afraid to go outside our houses, wait for the long lines in the groceries, or even just walk on the streets because of the fear that we might acquire the fatal virus somewhere in our community even if we have the social distancing. Consequently, to avoid the long lines in all the stores, as well as the huge crowd inside the groceries, some people tend to panic-buy all their necessities whenever they have the chance to do so, in order to be ready, especially with foods that have longer shelf lives. Well, this is the best time I can share to my blog one of the foods that is on my top quarantine grocery list, which I can also recommend as a suhoor food for our Muslim community during this Ramadan period.


                Have you ever thought of why most people suggest adding oatmeal to your first meal of the day? One of the reasons is because oatmeal is rich in carbohydrates and protein, it causes the body to feel satiated longer and prevents hunger attacks.  Oatmeal is also a good source of vitamins and minerals that the body needs especially during fasting.  A good suhoor meal will always include oats, in all its forms and recipes, in the diet.


                My favorite brand of oatmeal is the Australia Harvest Oatmeal and this is also one of the best foods to buy when you know you're going to be stuck at home for awhile without having to sacrifice a healthy diet because of the quarantine period. I usually eat Oatmeal because it gives me the energy to face the day in the best possible way. Australia Harvest Oatmeal offers Instant Oats, Quick-Cooking Oats, Whole Rolled Oats and Oat Bran in its product assortment. With Australia Harvest Oatmeal, one can be nourished by suhoor daily during Ramadan, in the many ways to enjoy oats-- as hot oatmeal porridge...  as overnight oats...  as oatmeal smoothie... as oat bran pancake... or as wholesome muesli. You can also eat your oats together with your favorite fruits.


                AustraliaHarvest Oatmeal products are available in all the leading supermarkets nationwide.  It is exclusively distributed by Ideal Macaroni & Spaghetti Factory, Inc. 


                For product inquiries, please call (02) 8282-8282 or 8282-2222, or contact 0925-803-4179. Like Australia Harvest Oatmeal in FACEBOOK.


                Lastly, to our Muslim community, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakuth! May the holy essence of this auspicious month remain in your life and may ALLAH’s immaculate grace and exceptional wisdom conquer your life as you celebrate this Holy Month of Ramadhan.


Ramadan Mubarak!

Have you ever wondered how it feels like dining in a super cozy and relaxing place? You know? Whether it's a place where you want to go on a date with your partner or have a chitchat bonding with your best friend. Or even have a memorable time where you can play card games or board games with the whole barkada. Just recently, I've found a new place where you can chill and eat at the same time.  Just by entering the door of this restaurant, you can instantly feel how talented and genius the owner of this restaurant was.  From the outdoor displays, the ceiling, and ofcourse the wall paintings.  All of these things inside the restaurant seems so interesting in the eye of every customer. Of couse, there are so many foods to choose from.  They have pastas, fish and chips, soups, desserts, and ofcourse their very own specialty which is... the T-Bone Steak  with Mashed Potato. It was very juicy, and it has full of t...

BROWN'S GOURMET WITH A TWIST

Looking for a healthy but delicious and affordable meals around the metro? (credits to the owner for this picture) Earlier this year, I was invited to dine-in at BROWN'S GOURMET Restaurant located at Katipunan, Quezon City. First thing that I ordered was their Caramelized Pear + Lemon and Basil dressing. To tell you honestly, I am not really a big fan of these kind of foods but I tried to taste the Salad and it was really good. If you're into eating healthy foods, then this is best nutritious salad for you! The next thing that I ordered was the Crispy Adobo Flakes Pasta with Roasted Chiken. Yes, you read it right guys! The pasta is very unique. It's actually my first time encountering a pasta with a twist of crispy adobo flakes. The roasted chicken is served with a vinegar dipping sauce on the side which I think is not really important since the flavor of the chicken was already tasty. The pasta sauce was a little bit creamy bu...

MY FIRST HAIR LASER WITH HAIR BOTOX TREATMENT AND GEL LASH LIFT SUPERBOOST

Have you ever felt wearing make-up doesn't suit you well? Have you ever felt that people might judge you just because of your looks? Actually, I am usually down thinking that I'm not beautiful and I am not that good enough. Some people say wearing make-up and fixing your hair will boost your self-esteem, well maybe? But I am a person who's too lazy to wear make-up or even brush my hair. I am already enough just by putting a nude matte lipstick on and just letting my hair dry naturally. And honestly, I actually don't feel worthy of looking good. The idea that wearing makeup everyday and always putting an effort to fix your hair is what makes you look beautiful are good for me. But if you're not into it or if you're too lazy to put a make-up on your face, or you're also too lazy to curl or straighten your hair everyday, it is also okay. You just need to find another solution on how you would feel good about yourself. Just recently, I was invited ...
