Brown Rice

In an effort to turn towards healthier living, I will be trying brown rice. I had one cup tonight at Icebergs, and contrary to what I’ve been hearing about it, it’s not as bad. Perhaps because there put raisins and they used chicken soup stock. I’ve been surfing for tips and how-to’s on how to cook it. Hopefully, my first go at it will be successful.

“In spirit and in substance, what I have done for my district cannot be denied,”

– Jules Ledesma on being the No. 1 absentee in HoR

 

I’m somehow confused. Isn’t it this guy’s job to represent his district in matters relating to promulgation of laws that will govern the country? It is for the Local Government officials to handle matters relative to the development of his district. If he intended to work in his district in the first place, he should have vied for the mayoralty or gubernatorial post in Negros. Oh well, aren’t they all like him? Maybe he just happens to be the most thick-skinned of them all.

Instructables!

It’s not a new Transformers character. Instructables is a website where you can view tons of instructions on how to make things. Really, it teaches you a variety of things. There’s an instructable on how to make an “Egg Head (or shoulder)“, something as useful as throwing ideas for 62 Projects to Make With a Dead Computer, and something as cool (or weird) as a Mosquito Flamethrower. The website has 16 categories, namely, Art, Craft, Food, Games, Green, Home, Kids, Life, Music, Offbeat, Outdoors, Pet, Photo, Ride, Science, and Tech.

Every instructable has specific steps and pictures that will guide you in completing the project. I’ve tried some instructables that I thought i could do using the instructions, and finished them in no time; although I must admit I’m yet to do one that is challenging. Hopefully when I have some extra time I’ll pick one of the plethora of instructables and create something amazing.
