How's everyone here? It's a rainy/sunny and windy Saturday here. This is the most quiet time for humans for most of us, especially the olds are in deep sleep now on a wooden bed under the tamarind tree. Even my noisy niece and nephew were not shouting or laughing at their house. And the dogs and cats positioned in their favorite spots. From the ground, table, bed, chair, or on top of refrigerator or divider. But this one in photos chose to sleep on my lap right now. She's…

Homemade Perfume It seems that I can't stop myself from taking photos of orchid blooms. Another batch of blooms showered by the first heavy rains of April. The first blooms were about to fall off and so before that happen, I picked some petals to make my homemade perfume. My doctor told me before not to use strong scented perfumes and colognes to avoid allergies and so I stopped using those. Only now, after almost a decade that I thought of making natural, plant-based…

Kalendaryo ng Pagtatanim "Kapag may itinanim, may aanihin." Literal na may aanihin ka talaga kung masipag ka magtanim at kung meron namang mapagtaniman. At dito sa Pilipinas, mayroon tayong 2 pinakamahalagang season, ang tag-init at tag-ulan. Bawat halaman ay mayroong nauukol na panahon o klima kaya mas mahalagang malaman natin kung ano ang gusto nila. May pagka maarte din pala sila ano? 😅 (JAN) Koliplower, Mustasa, Repolyo, Sibuyas (JAN-DEC) Ampalaya, Talong, Kabute,…

How To Spot Fake Coins? I seldom use physical cash since I started earning online, but before I was also a victim of fake coins. Good thing that I never had the fake paper bills like what had happened to my former boss's friend. And believe it or not, the money was even from the ATM machine of a bank inside its own shopping mall, but that's another topic. In my case, I got the first ever fake coin when I checked my coin purse one time. I'm not sure anymore where did I get…

Cooking Oil? The world's largest passenger airplane, the A380 successfully completed two test flights powered by 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). "The SAF was produced in Normandy and was made from Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids. The fuel was free from aromatics and sulfur and primarily consisted of used cooking oil and other waste fats." "Increasing the use of SAF remains a key pathway to achieving the industry's ambition of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050",…

How To Recycle Used Oil Today is the feast of Saint Vincent Ferrer and as I have said yesterday, I will recycle used oil and use it as a lamp oil. But aside from using it as a lamp oil, there are more creative uses for used cooking oil we never knew about. There are 15 different ways to recycle used oils from mahoneyes. com that we can follow to help protect our environment. 1. Household lubricant: It is an effective lubricant that can be used for hinges and locks. It also…

Happy and rainy Palm Sunday everyone! It's been almost a week of rain due to tropical storm Agaton and only yesterday in our patronal fiesta that the rain has stopped, just for one day. And as usual, the internet connection is sooo slow. I'm reinstalling discord app for I was curious why I was mentioned there. Yun lang, walang Marites na mapagtanungan kung anong ganap eh, but goodluck if I can finish downloading it tonight. If the rain pours for almost a week, I'm also…

I can't remember when was the last time or had the first ever chill in summer. All I can remember is that, when our water sources were not enough, we have to fetch water from grandma's deep-well near the stream, almost a kilometer away from the house. My brother or my sister-in-law would drive their old jeep and cross the sugarcane field just to fetch water, and later bulk water delivery was a better option. But now, it's the opposite. We don't need to fetch or buy water and…

The sun was already out when I woke up this morning. The cold, cold weather made me woke up quite late and feeling weak since I was not used to it. I usually wake up at 5:30 am or 6am and not past 7am and so, I was excited to prepare my second batch of laundry from yesterday, hoping that clothes will dry fast. But since the water was too cold to touch, I have waited for few more hours while doing online earnings and checked my plants after days of swimming in the garden .…

Still, a rainy and cold evening here. Though, the sun shines in the morning until in the afternoon since yesterday. And hope that the flood waters in lower areas subsided and their missing loved ones were already found. Done watching The Healing Eucharist on tv after eating fried banana as our merienda. And also done eating vegan version of pochero as my early dinner. Instead of meat, I used pancit molo and it was my first time actually to cook like this. Atleast, it taste…

You're Not Alone! I can't upload photos again so, I don't want to stress myself and checked my fb account and saw a post of my older sister from our religious organization. She is grieving now for the loss of a loved one and I remembered also her post last year sometime in December I think, that showed warning signs of suicide because of financial, marital, and health problems. Some friends noticed it including me and so a simple "Sending love and prayers" comments and…

BPI (Best Pakulo Ito) The Bank of The Philippine Islands or BPI got noticed after posting their witty cyber security tips and marketing inspired from the "withdraw challenge" of presidential candidate Moreno to his fellow presidential candidate, Robredo. The post said, "Walang dapat mag-withdraw...para sa'yo! If you really need to withdraw, do it yourself. 'Wag ipagawa sa iba." "Never let anyone use your debit card and know your ATM PIN! Ensure your account's protection by…

Jobs That Might Disappear In The Next 25 Years I'm "Marites" to what is happening in politics and yesterday, I happened to see a few minutes post on FB from Reader's Digest. The jobs that might disappear in the next 25 years. Do you think your job now is in danger to be replaced by bots? I also happened to see a post from The Philippine Star about a netizen who caught on cam the newest Jollibee bot servers! Ang cute, kumukurap-kurap pa. Two Jollibots in its branch in a mall…

Precinct Finder Filipinos may now check their actual polling precincts before election day by accessing The Comelec's Precinct Finder website. You will be asked to provide your first name, middle name, last name, place of registration and if you are local or overseas voter. It is a big help for voters to find their polling areas ahead of time, especially in a vote-rich region or provinces. Vote wisely! A hottie Sunday afternoon, and hope you are in a good place now :)

It's past 5pm but I'm still making "paypay" my face because the weather is sooo hot, hot, hot. We are in a place covered with many trees but I can still feel the intense heat of the sun after a short rain. I"m having a headache due to lack of sleep plus the weather, and after talking to a friend who is struggling with her debts, while her uncle is in critical condition, haisst. She's asking help from me to have an additional loan but she already have a quite big loan from my…

7 Puppies! Our dogs Empress and Uganda delivered a total of 7 healthy babies more than a month ago with 1 week gap only. Empress gave birth last March 21 to 3 puppies and Uganda gave birth a week after to 4 babies. My niece and nephew were so excited to visit the puppies every morning or every hour in our old bodega just to cuddle them. Me, I love smelling their fresh breaths and hearing their cute yawns. But last April 5 in the morning, Empress was gone. I searched for her…

I always forget that I have some pancit canton stocks because we're not used to eat this since before so, I only remembered to cook this again earlier for lunch. I was too lazy to cook veggies soup because my parents were not here and so I kept the remaining half for my merienda. The last time I cooked pancit canton was maybe last month. Good thing, it was not yet expired haha! And eating less often of this, is much healthier. I don't cook or eat canton without veggies so I…

First case ng omicron sub-variant BA.2.12 ay nasa Pilipinas na! Parang matatawa ako na parang hindi, knowing na rally dito, rally doon ang mga politiko but never nagkahawaan and possible magka surge daw after May 9 election. Even may former boardmate who is a nurse in one of the hospitals in Manila nag react na haha! May schedule daw ba talaga when magka surge? 😅 According to GMA news, nasa 44 katao na ang mga close contact ng Finnish national na ito. 9 from Quezon City, 5…

I just want to share some lines from former Senator Nikki Coseteng's thoughts, a very important message to the Filipino people about the past, and the future of the Philippines in the coming months and years. This is a long post on FB but worth to read and hope we can find enlightenment from this. "I was 18 in 1970...a freshman in the University of the Philippines in the heels of the First Quarter Storm...I was 31 when Ninoy Aquino was assassinated in cold blood in 1983." "I…

Celestial Parade I slept last night at around 11:30 pm and so I should wake up at around 6:30 am this morning to have atleast 7 hours of sleep. I'm feeling weak when I wake up late but this morning, I did not expect to wake up at 4:30 am. I was mad at first, but maybe God wanted me to witness the celestial parade of four planets! And the best part, I saw this with my naked eyes and far better than my phone camera's eyes. 7 puppies were making noise early in the morning.…
