Sometimes when I started feeling a little discomfort, I stopped taking them. I’ve wasted some of the things I bought due to that. I might try it again and see if i can really finish the whole pack just to see if the stuff really works.

My sister did it so she could lose weight since one of her friends tried it and lost a significant amount of weight. I’m eating it simply because I like it. I’ve seen oatmeal being shown in the television as a good way to combat cholesterol so were making Dad eat it too. It would be a cheaper alternative to the best cholesterol medications available in the country right now. Our younger siblings can also benefit from eating oatmeal so I think we’re going to stock up on them. I’d rather have them eat oatmeal for snacks than junk foods.

Since I don’t have access to real strawberries right now, I figured I can get my strawberry craving satiated by a cake. Armed with only a strawberry extract, I made one and the whole house smelled so strawberry sweet. xD Here’s a small peek:

Ugh, I can’t upload the other pictures. My WP is being antsy. >.< :D I used the flour frosting here. I think the first one I made using her previous recipe tasted better or maybe I just did something wrong with my frosting this time. It tasted good also like strawberries but its looks like a weird curdled butter mess. Maybe I needed to beat it more but my hand mixer was getting hot already. xD
