Treasured realization

Everybody wants to be free. Being free but also knowing their limitations and understanding the situation involved.

I was born as a youngest child in the family. And as the youngest child, my parents spoiled me. Spoiled me not in money but in terms of affection. Although, yes I can say that me and my siblings received same love from them but I can also say that the love I'd received was different. Kinda different in terms of how they protected me and how they supported me. And as a child, I want to show them how grateful I am to have them. Start from elementary grades I did my best to be in top always and I did. I graduated as a valedictorian way back in elementary. Happiness overflowed towards me seeing that my parents are so proud in what I've earned.
In junior high school time, I failed to bring them medals but I did my best to be part of top 15 at least. Senior high school life is quite interesting. It is where I became free from the hands of over protected parents. It is the time where I learned to fall in love even my parents didn't allow it yet. Their requirement for me is to finish first the college before entering in relationship. They are scared that I might end up in building a family at early age. But I have this saying in my life "the life of every people depends on how they make their own destiny". So I hide my boyfriend from them and I continued to thank them by giving them good grades and being part of with honors.
And now I'm a college student. Yes, I want to fulfill their requirement for me. Obcourse that's my first priority in life. I want to finish my study. I want to help them and my siblings. I want to give them a better life. That's everybody's dream, right? And it was my biggest dream too. But while pursuing that, it is also right for me to engaged in relationship. I'm at a legal age and I already know what are the limitations about love. I know what is right from wrong. Yes, I fully understand my parents now for being over protected because I know that it is for my own sake. I love them so much that I will do my best to help them. They loved me that they only want to protect me from undesired happenings.
Now, this is my realization. Our parents only wanted whats the best for us. God give us them to love us, to guide us, to care for us, to support, to give our needs, to send us to school and to give us a good future. The way on how they treated me only shows that they only protected me. I love you so much mama and papa.

Discovering another recipe of Polvoron

              Healthy Oatmeal Polvoron

      I always been on a quest for finding foods that my niece would like to eat. She is really a picky eater and what she consumes mostly are the unhealthy staple food from the supermarket, such as cookies and cake. We all know that these foods are processed and contains synthetic sugars which are not advisable for children and adults alike.

      So while surfing the web, I stumbled on the use of oat flour, which I believe is way better than all purpose flour which is made from wheat. And since oats have more health benefits than wheat flour, I decided to discover more about it for my niece.
