Becoming a Pescetarian

Definition
A pescetarian diet excludes land animals and birds, but includes fish, mollusks, and crustaceans in addition to fruits, vegetables, plants, legumes, nuts, and grains. Eggs and dairy may or may not be present in the pescetarian's diet.

Why pescetarian?
The pescetarian lifestyle is often adopted by people in transition to becoming veg*an or by those interested in a healthier, more ethical, and environmentally friendly way of life.

After years of thoughts, consideration, attempts, Finally - I am now a certified Pescetarian. I would say I was influenced mainly by my friend Liam who has been practicing Lacto Ovo diet for the past 3 years I suppose. It was a decade ago since I first attempted to become a vegetarian but with lack of information and guidance, I failed few times. It was funny coz when I was really young I thought vegetarians eat just plain veggies, so i thought -'where do they get their energy from'? lol! but as I get older and my friends introduced this healthy practice, my mind lighten up. Well actually, purposes for this diet are to eat healthy, live healthy, and to lose weight. Might be little silly to hear but I believe I am contributing a lot in saving lives of 5 chickens in a month, 1 pig in 2 1/2 months and 1 cow in 6 months :-) and for fish,seafoods? gradually, yes, it will be opted out.

Leviticus 19:23

Sundry Laws
      9‘Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10‘Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God.
      11‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. 12‘You shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.
      13‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning. 14‘You shall not curse a deaf man, nor place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the LORD.
      15‘You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. 16‘You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the LORD.
      17‘You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him. 18‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.
      19‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.
      20‘Now if a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave acquired for another man, but who has in no way been redeemed nor given her freedom, there shall be punishment; they shall not, however, be put to death, because she was not free. 21‘He shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD to the doorway of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering. 22‘The priest shall also make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed, and the sin which he has committed will be forgiven him.
      23‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten. 24‘But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD. 25‘In the fifth year you are to eat of its fruit, that its yield may increase for you; I am the LORD your God.
      26‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination or soothsaying. 27‘You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard. 28‘You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.
      29‘Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot, so that the land will not fall to harlotry and the land become full of lewdness. 30‘You shall keep My sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am the LORD.
      31‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
      32‘You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the LORD.
      33‘When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34‘The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.
      35‘You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or capacity. 36‘You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin; I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt. 37‘You shall thus observe all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them; I am the LORD.’”

So, it's 7am in the morning. I woke up early because for some reasons i can't sleep thinking of where i will spend my next holiday.

Investment

81 Newport Blvd
Newport City

So, we were a frequent visitor of (not officially opened yet) Resorts World Manila when one early morning, heading our way back to our place, a man wearing a business attire handed out a brochure of some luxury condos of Newport City where Resorts World is situated. Striked by the information that caught our attention: Php10,000 per month.

Wow.

At first we thought it was just a simple inquiry that we wanted to make, but then again as we take a closer look on the opportunities and benefits of having a condo in this area, we decided that we wanted to own this condo for good.

Patiently waiting

I am getting bit worried but still on positive side. This is all about my work application to Canada. I started it on October when I was still in UK, now i'ts 2nd of March and LMO is still processing, it's taking SO long when CIC said it should be 6-8 weeks. I remember calling up Ms. Bailon early February where she said that the documents were returned because of some wrong entry or something (that's their fault!) it started processing again that I should wait 6 more weeks for the result...which is now 2 more L O N G weeks to go. Haha! Not very long, but it still I'm feeling inip na.

Because of that, I can't decide whether to pursue my plan on migrating to Canada or not. Consultants said I can have the 2 applications at a time because immigrant and work are processed different ways and won't be complicating. I still don't rely on them. I want to make sure this work visa of mine comes first before filing up for immigrant. We'll then see.
