going bananas with dole cavendish

2 Comments

Dole Cavendish Banana is one of my favorite fruits + I have not eaten one in a while. No wonder I am feeling a little sluggish + low on energy lately.  I used to eat a piece every single day. It normally serves as a punctuation mark {or an icing on the cake, whichever keeps you happy the most ;)} to one of  my daily meals + I just love gobbling on those delectable bananas. Not only are they delicious but very nutritious, too, and, especially for mums like me, they give the right amount of energy + I require to finish my daily tasks.

I should probably go back to my daily habit, a piece of a banana each day is equivalent to a certain dose of Vitamins + I would always prefer the tastier, more natural, + therefore, the healthier alternative.  Maybe you can start the habit too, + if you weren’t that keen on bananas, now is just the right time to change your mind.

mum's thoughts

of buying our own house

One of my aspirations as a mum is to buy our own house so Jared can have a place he can totally call his own, + pardon me for thinking way too forward, so that he will have his own place once he decides to start a family of his own. 😉 I know, too early to think about that, my son just turned 2 two days ago, after all! But what can I say? Mummies like me tend to think ahead of ourselves.

We were able to see several house model units last summer when one of the villages here in our city had an open-house. We’ve seen a few two-storey model houses that may just be perfect for us to start our own nest.

What I loved about this village + its model units are:

  • community – the village is a total package in one, it includes a park {where Jared + I can go for a morning walk or run}, a playground {where the little man can spend his lazy afternoon playing} and even provide shuttle service for houses located at the innermost part of the village
  • proximity – this village is located in one of the prime spots in the city + is just one karatig {that is our local take of the Jeepney} ride away from the government offices and business establishments in the city center, the churches, schools + the Post Office. It is also just a door away from the grocers
  • security – for the residents’ peace of mind, roving guards man the village round the clock. It is also flood-free {a very important point to consider when looking to buy a home}
I totally enjoyed taking a look at those fancy model units. I only wish I’d win the lottery so that I can buy one of them as soon as I can. Maybe I can even buy one of those Missouri homes for sale while I am at it 😉
