I made banana milk with coconut water!  Dairy-free, nut-free and refined sugar-free.

Remember the bunch of ripe bananas I mentioned in yesterday's blog post 100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 94 and the coconut water I bought awhile ago?

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 88

My PC Plus Point Card and my PC Point Balance, PC Plus, PC Plus points, PC points, PC Plus card, PC Plus point card, PC Point balance, PC point, 100 Happy Days Challenge, Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator, Random Thought, Another Random Thought, Random Thoughts, Another Random Thoughts, Procrastinator

Took advantage of my special offers from PC Plus.  I earned 500 + 38,800 PC points.  Now my total balance is 70,750 points.  That is $70 worth of FREE groceries, my friends.

What's the catch?  I can only use my PC points at Independent, Loblaws, No Frills and Real Canadian Superstore.

Since I paid with my credit card, I earned Air Miles at the same time.  So, I'll get Air Miles Cash for other stores.

I think we will always have opportunities to earn a lot of PC points before any major social events such as Father's Day when people buy lots of groceries to celebrate.  When will be the next time we have chance to earn lots of points?

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 80

Helped one of my friends add a hyperlink in another simple JavaScript game blog post.  Well, as I said yesterday, I'm no computer programmer.  I can only try as many time as I can to figure out how to add more features in my friend's blog post.

Sorry for keep updating and deleting my blog entries in seconds, I'm just testing new things for my friend.  Where are my computer programmer friends when we need them?

Moral of the story: study computer programming and write my own codes.

Here is my friend's another game she made for her students.

Please go to her blog, play her game and learn some Cantonese words.  Have Fun!

P.S. The JavaScript my friend uses is from here.  Thank you very much Adam Khoury!!

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 79

Helped one of my friends make a very simple JavaScript game.  Well, I'm no computer programmer.  I can only do Google search, test some JavaScript and tell my friend what works in her blog.  She still needs to explore and make the codes her own.

We tried many sties which let us use their JavaScript codes for free but we couldn't use those codes with my friend's Cantonese words.

Then, one of my Japanese friends helped us to get some simple free JavaScript codes from a Japanese site.  It is a JavaScript tutorial site from Tatsuya's Home Page.

Thank you for Tatsuya-san's generosity.  This is where we copied and pasted the free JavaScript codes from.
http://www.red.oit-net.jp/tatsuya/java/tango2.htm (Japanese site)

In his JavaScript, he explains how the codes work in Japanese.  With my Japanese friend's help, my Chinese friend change the game from Japanese to Cantonese.

Oh, almost forgot to tell you the link of my friend's game page.  My friend is a Cantonese teacher.  She made this simple game for her students.

Walk 10,000 steps a day

Have you ever tried walking 10,000 steps?  When Dr. Oz talked about walking 10,000 steps daily, I thought it was an easy exercise for me.  I usually walk 1.5 hours per day.  That should be equal to around 10,000 steps, right?  But I was wrong, my friends.

The best time to drink water

We drink water when we feel thirsty or when we want to keep our bodies hydrated.  Many experts say that we should drink water even we don't feel thirsty or dehydrated.  So when is the best time to drink water?

One of my Chinese friends told me how she drinks her water and I tried it today.

Following one of my Japanese friends' instructions,  I made some Japanese style pickled cucumber.

My dad used to cut cucumber in paper-thin slices when he made salad.  Instead of using a vegetable slicer, dad was the human cucumber slicer in our family.  I tried to cut cucumber in paper-thin slices but some of them were 2 mm thick.

Why didn't I use a vegetable slicer?  Hey, I'm my dad's daughter.  If my dad can do it, I can do it too.  It's in the genes, my friends.  Well, just need to practice doing it more often.

My Japanese friends won't cut cucumber into very thin slices when they pickle the cucumber, though.

Made and drank another smoothie today.  My second smoothie ever!  Yesterday's smoothie was very brown.  I wanted my smoothie with bright vivid colour same as the ones in recipe books.  So, I dug out  my bag of frozen cherries and added them into my smoothie.  Well, you can see the result.  The colour was not as beautiful as I wanted.  The taste?  Without banana, it's not as sweet as I wanted, either.  I guess this is why people usually add banana inside their smoothies.

It was very sweet and it tasted good.

Made Chinese Black Sesame Seed Porridge / Sweet Soup for the first time!!!  Well, thank you for one of my Japanese friends taught me how to make brown rice flour.  And, thank you for one of my friends from Hong Kong taught me how to successfully made this Chinese dessert.  My mum and my sis loved it, too.  I'm so proud of myself.  Yes!  Which Asian dessert should I make next time?

This is how my friend says Black Sesame Seed Porridge / Sweet Soup in Cantonese.
