Fresh-market strawberries
I’ve been looking for fresh-market strawberries for weeks now, but fruit stand owners said they couldn’t place an order because they are expensive and delivery from Benguet and Baguio (where strawberries are only grown) rarely arrives. I bought this two packs a few months ago for P100 or more than $2. I really miss eating strawberries. I think I know where to buy them, but its quite far from our place. 
Benefits: Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, phytonutrients and antioxidants – known to cancer-causing cells. It also provides a good source of vitamin K, manganese, folic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin B5, copper, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids (Internet)
Mementoes
I’m no genius, just an average learner so I have nothing to discuss about scholastic standing as a student. But for the sake of GT’s theme this week that talks about the things we love about our minds, let me share something that made me feel a little proud of myself. I received some awards related to my job in the past. These awards are my constant reminder that with determination and persistence I can accomplish anything that I set my mind on.

When we were sick
My husband really takes care of me when I’m sick especially now that I’m nursing a flu. He bought medicine and other stuff to make me feel well. He does things for me like wash the dishes and clean portion of the house even if he is tired from work. And he is not complaining about it. He never let me feel alone when I don’t feel well. One night, I got drowsy after taking a pill and fell asleep on the sofa. The next morning, I woke up with a blanket wrapped around me. Hubby is such a sweet guy he stays with me the whole time. He was lying on the mattress just beside the couch where I slept… When he is not feeling well, which rarely happens, I also take care of him the same way that he makes me feel better. I let him rest until he feels well. 
I was out, he’s in charge
The last time hubby look after our kids was when I left for Leyte for a pre-election coverage in 2006. I left the house early in the morning to catch a flight to Tacloban City. I make a lot of reminders to hubby not to forget to remind the nanny to prepare everything the kids need for school, breakfast, vitamins and snacks. In the afternoon or just before hubby left for work, I would still remind him to check on the kids when they arrived from school. At night, we would also talk about the kids and ourselves like how our days went. I appear to be makulit or persistent here, but actually my husband knows what to do without enumerating all of it to him. Even now that we don’t have a househelp, I’m confident that he can take care of our kids and run the house with ease while I’m out to run errands. Hubby can cook a little, but do the laundry and ironing so well. He also maintains the house spick and span. With all his qualifications, don’t you think hubby can make a good stay at home dad?
