There are studies that linked coffee drinking to lower risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Now, Japanese researchers found that drinking a cup of coffee once or twice a week may lower the risk of mouth and throat cancers by up to 50%. I'm glad that there are more positive things about drinking coffee. I just started drinking it a couple of years ago. I used to drink only orange juice for breakfast which is also good. But after I started hearing about the benefits of coffee, I learned how to drink it and get past the bitterness. It helps that there are different flavors of coffee creamer too. So now, coffee is on my list everytime I go to the club store along with a nice heart pendant necklace, laundry detergent, paper towels and a pack of canned tuna.

Aside from doing fun stuff in the summer time, there is also hard work like tending the yard, cleaning the outside of the house, painting the deck and swing sets. I'm on a month-long vacation here in the Philippines and so far, I am enjoying it. Well, except for the heat and humidity, which comes with the territory. Upon returning from this vacation, I have a lot of things to do on my list. I'll have the month of August for these chores. It looks like a busy month for me so while I'm here, I'm going to savour every minute.

The kids and I are leaving tomorrow for the Philippines. After months of planning, it's finally here. It's bittersweet since dh won't be able to join us until after 3 weeks. It's exciting, especially for my parents, to finally see their grandkids after 3 years. They live in the west coast so it's not easy to see each other, since they don't like to come and visit during winter time. Most of our relatives here in the US are also going back so it's going to be a big reunion.
If it wasn't for my parent's 45th wedding anniversary celebration, we wouldn't take this trip. Considering the economy these days, I would've wanted to stay close to home. If I win the lottery, then sky's the limit. I'll take lots of trips all over the place and I probably will look at some Luxury condos in New York NY and go there every month. Which reminds me, I still have some lotto tickets that I haven't checked. Hmm, I might be a millionaire now without even knowing it. Wishful thinking!

With all the information you find online, it is important to take all these information just as a help guide. It goes without saying that seeing your personal physician is important. It is quite confusing with all the medical information you find online. Sometimes websites give quite different opinion on one subject matter.
