Did you know that germs can touch you, even if you don't touch them?
We all know that germs can be passed through person-to-person contact or touching dirty objects. What many of us don't know is that germs live in the air, too. If you believe that not touching anything or anyone can keep germs at bay, you better think again.
“#HANGINfection, technically known as Bioaerosols, refers to airborne germs such as bacteria, fungi and viruses that may cause skin reactions and respiratory sickness. Bioaerosols can come from a variety of sources, including soil, organic debris, humidifiers, air conditioners, and even farming and industrial pollution. The human body is also a source of bioaerosols: Shed human skin, coughing and sneezing can all contribute to airborne germs. These can make you sick in unexpected ways. For example, when you sneeze, most of the germs are transmitted at close range, but you need not be close to fall sick, as the smallest particles stay airborne and can travel as far as 20 meters.” says Dr. Pierangeli Vital, Ph.D. Biology (Microbioliogy), University of the Philippines Diliman.

Wearing so many hats all at the same time, cooking has always been a challenge for a mom like me. There are times that i really love and enjoy cooking especially for my kids and my husband. But then, there are crazy times as well, that i feel like just eating what's in the can, toss them altogether in a bowl and heat it in the oven. Well, that's me, when I'm all alone, left with too many workloads, while hubby is at work and the kids in school.
I guess the love month just slipped through the 365 pages of my 2018. I wasn't able to feel the valentines! Speaking of valentines, just like chocolates, flowers and cakes, life is still and will always be sweet specially when I'm with my kids.
Hola! It's been a while since i last posted about my whereabouts and gastronomic diaries.
Did you miss me? Hahaha!
Life's been really busy ever since i had my newborn. And it seemed like i was moving on a fast lane for the past 6 months as i haven't blogged about anything personal, including my birthing story (which is on my drafts) and now my baby is turning 6 months in a week's time! Where did time go???
It's like i lose track of the blogosphere too, 'coz I've been feeling like an alien at this moment of writing. Hahaha! Well, I've really decided to take blogging on a slow pace except for some major projects and brand collaborations that i cannot turn down yet. But please don't be sad, because i will still be writing on this page once in a while but not as often like before due to my call of duty, career, family and new ventures for the year. I always love sharing meaningful thoughts and opinions because it is my creative release. But, i will be doing it on a slow pace this year.
