Fortunate Life

I am a sun user for several years now.  At first,  find it difficult because there are provinces that don't have a strong Sun cellular signal but as years goes by, more cell sites are being built so I am enjoying it now. Most of our community members are in sun cellular network and this become my deciding point to have sun. When I first started with Sun cell, I have plan Php 350 - Unlimited call sun-to-sun, unlimited text sun-to-sun and 250 text to other network. At first I am enjoying it but sometimes my bill would go as high as Php 600 because of  my text to other network. Because of this, I decided to have my line cut and buy a sun cellular prepaid sim. I am enjoying pre-paid sun cellular now because of its promos. The promo that I liked most is the Php 200 load which includes unlimited text sun-to-sun, 4 hrs call sun-to-sun plus 500 text to other network What I do is that I buy a regular Php 200 load (which I bought for Php 202 in a sari-sari store near ...

December is a season of giving. A time to buy gifts to our inaanak and to our loved one's. Just 2 days before Christmas, I have to make my last minute shopping because I still haven't finished my Christmas gift list. I do not have a permanent work for 8 months now and my budget for gifts this year is not that high. It's now stingy moment for me :-). I only have Php 1,000 budget left for gifts and things that I need (a sort of gift for myself also). Going to Divisoria is like a suicide at this momment (all right I am just exaggerating :-) ). But it's really hard to go there. You can barely move because there are lots of people who are also doing their last minute Christmas shopping. The items on the Mall are highly priced, so it is not on my option. To get myself away from my dilemma, I went to Quiapo instead. Bringing with me my Php1,000 bill. And these are the things that I bought Hello Kitty Bag for my Inaanak -  Php 130.00 (Original price at Php 15...

Just recently, I have tasted again some foods found in Quezon and Laguna. I told my officemates about this and one  knows what I am talking about so here it is. 1) Kibit (Chiton) Uncooked Kibit Fried Kibit    These are mollusks found mainly on rocks. It is a popularly found in Quezon province.  I first saw these alive in Burdeous, Quezon during  our family trip. The locals dried this and sell to the neighboring town. The fresh Kibit is boiled till tender and removed the outer covering. Then you can put spices and then fried. Yum Yum!     2)      Mi-nani  Mi-nani I first saw this in Laguna but a friend told me that they also do cook this in Burdeous. A Cassava is hopped into small cubes , deep fried then you put some fried garlic just like the preparations that you will do in mani (peanut) that why it is called mi-nani. 3)      Abnoy -    ...

I am a native of Quezon but it is my first time to see the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon last May 15, 2011. It is really wonderful and amazing to see those dazzling houses beautifully adorned with colorful rice wafers ( kiping ), handicrafts,  fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmer's harvest. Adorning their homes are the farmer's way of thanking their patron saint San Isidro Labrador (St. Isidore) and also to ensure that they will have a bountiful harvest ahead. adorned house We also have the chance to taste their famous pancit hab-hab . Its a   sauteed   noodles with pork meat, pork liver and shrimp and some vegetables. What makes this dish unique is the way it is eaten. It is placed on a banana leaf and eaten straight in your mouth without using any utensils. Pansit hab-hab is drizzled with vinegar to enhance its taste. The streets are crowded with local and foreign tourist and are all delighted to see and take pictures of the adorned homes. ca...

Its funny how God uses people to wake you up in an indolent  situation. Some times he uses crazy events to tug you, to pull you, to take you away from you idleness Last year, I became a member and a dealer of 1 company carrying vitamins and beauty products and excitedly talk to my office mates, friends & family about it, but very few people buy the product. I have been idle for sometime with my dealership because i have this feeling that i am really not a seller. I cannot convince the people of the beauty , authencity & heath benefits of the product. But last week, Alas! One of my male officemate has been invited by his cousin in the product briefing.and after some thought also become a dealer because he have high hopes of the product, its benefits & the money that he will get from the sales. He sells many that day and it really shakes me off from my sleep. I suddenly realize that maybe the product is not the problem, its my way of selling & my approach to my ...

When i'm still a kid, i am afraid of prisoners because my assumptions is that they are bad people. But it all changes when i visited the Iwahig prison in Palawan & BJMP- Naga. Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm  - Unlike ordinary prisons, it have no walls and almost no barrier. Low security prisoners are free to roam around the place.  Vocational activities were provided for the prisoners and they were given the choice from paramedical work, fishing, carpentry, farming or forestry. There are also souvenir shop inside the iwahig prison colony where the items handcrafted by the prisoners are being sold. Some prisoners outside the souvenir shop also sells handcrafted item that they did at a reasonable price.The prisoners are also very warm & accommodating, we had a chance to chit-chat with them and take some photos with them. Bureau of Jail Management Prison-Naga - Like other prison houses, the BJMP-Naga have security check before we can enter inside, they also check the t...
