Cereal and Fruits

I've been extra busy so I haven't been able to post much and experiment much on food lately.

This is just a quick post and view on what one can come up with for breakfast. Since May of last year, I have decided to not skip breakfast and make it my main meal of the day. This was primarily because I read somewhere that eating breakfast will jumpstart one's metabolism and help you avoid gaining weight fast. I think it's quite effective because I was able to lose weight after a few months and am now maintaining a healthy weight according to my BMI.

Anyway, I haven't really kept that promise because when I wake up late (which is 30% of the time), I would settle for water or a piece of bread. Then, I discovered that our local mall sells pre-cut fruits. To make the long story short, this is what I came up with - a quick and healthy breakfast.

What I used:

-Corn flakes cereal

-Pre-cut fruits (pear, watermelon & grapes) that I bought in a local supermarket

-Instant milk and cereal

What I did:

I just mixed them all up. Lol!

Local Cherries or Calumpit

Local Cherries or Calumpit

Saw these in the market today. I got curious so I bought them. The vendor said they are called 'Local Cherries'. They are quite sour with a bit of a sweet and a little weird aftertaste.

When I looked them up online, I discovered that it's called 'Calumpit/Kalumpit'. They were really cheap. I bought Php20.00 worth of these and gave some to friends. This amount (in the picture) would probably cost around Php10 or 47 US cents ^_^

This link gave me lots of good info about the fruit:
