Meet the 'Cloud Storage' or Virtual Drive

Why You Don’t Need to Buy that Expensive External Hard/Flash Drive?

The world is getting digital nowadays, everything can be operated by computer from car factories to hospital operations and now virtual drive is getting into the scene. Yes, you do not need to have an ‘actual drive’ to bring around that sometimes went missing, damaged etc.

Villa Espina Falls, Quezon Province

Nowadays if you want to go to a place that will definitely please your senses, you have to pay for it. Tourist destinations – aside from transportation expense and maybe an overnight accommodation to enjoy the long trip. How about this FREE paradise...

My Kind of Coffee – Taste Plus Benefits

I never had a taste of coffee my entire life until I get married. I wonder how it tasted that my husband asks me to make him two cups at the most even the weather is scorching hot, whew! When I serve coffee, I refrain from tasting it unlike when cooking that I get to savor the dish before it could reach the dinner table – I consider coffee as something ‘personal’ because making a cup of it, it sure belongs to a particular person and tasting it for me is synonymous to ‘eating without  a serving spoon’ on a buffet dish. No wonder, I could not perfect the mixture for just a cup but I am perfectly aware that everyone has their own concoction of coffee close to taste buds-with cream, black, tealike etc. 

Be Blooming with Jewelries

I have my favorite ‘skirt and blouse’ worn on several important occasions –  I wonder why on the last event I had that pair on me, friends could not help complimenting that I look blooming, I even heard a ‘wow’. I kept thinking what made the difference the fact that I am also wearing the same dress and shoes.

Wanted: Reliable Internet Signal Booster

I have more to share but my internet connection limits me.  I am in a remote area where the broadband/internet connection is very weak and no DSL offers yet around because only a few household have a PC in the area.  Even wifi connection is not possible. Fortunately, mobile phone signals are just a bit fine(say I place it on the window where three signal bars appear), - when I get the phone from where the signal is, the call will be hanged-up or my message wont be sent, the signal disappears.  As my plug-it broadband shows, I only got 2G signal in my place.

Pork Nilaga Tips

The very first time I cook Nilaga (Boiled) Pork Ribs,  I had  all the ingredients peeled and prepared. I follow the ‘what is hard to soften comes in the pot earlier and the hardest, last’. Like when I put the leafy vegetables, it is just a few minutes before removing it from the stove. 

For me and maybe for the others plantain bananas or ‘saba’ in Tagalog had been very  complicated to cook because if you overcooked it, it becomes too soft or if undercooked the outer layer is done while the innermost tastes uncooked (although it can be eaten raw, it is tastier to eat it cooked in Nilaga recipe). 

Speak Filipino: Reading Vowels

Here is a guideline on reading the 'vowels' in Filipino language. Vowel 'u' is added at the bottom of the post.

Customs Modernization and Tariff Act on Balikbayans

It is really about time that the ceiling amount for taxing Balikbayan Boxes of our Overseas Filipino Woker (OFWs) be amended.  The prevailing Law was made years ago, not updated in terms of current peso valuation.

The seller can issue a Provisional Receipt for L-A items with the ff:

 Do not buy generic PR’s just anywhere, spend for the printing (it will be your protection from fake receipts).

How to Use the SNIPPING TOOL

The invention of the SNIPPING TOOL has made the work of writers like me hassle-free. Most of the images I used for my blog I have done with the use of Adobe Photoshop, it took me a while to learn it by watching two minute-length  tutorials and the rest I discovered through hands-on ‘try and error’ thing. The SNIPPING TOOL is not as complicated as the layered photoshop that until now I can say, I am just an average learner.  I still cannot edit facial features in a photo and do not know yet how to change photo background.  For budding bloggers like me, the SNIPPING tool will help us a lot for our blog image needs.  But I suggest you learn the diverse Adobe Photoshop application too later on.  For temporary use, here is how to use the very helpful SNIPPING TOOL that you can learn in just a matter of minutes –in just one sitting.

MUST-know Selling Method

Have you been wondering how to keep your store abreast with the evolving economic situation of your consumers while still peaking on sales?  Earning for an income is a bit difficult as well as saving for the future. People may want to buy goods from you BUT if your products do not fall in the bracket of ‘prime necessities’ – consumers tend to put their buying desire at the back of their budget, maybe waiting for a chance to have an extra to get for example newer mobile phones, laptops, jewelries etc.

Smart Watch Product Review

Hello my dear friends. My family’s place is in a poor signal area in terms of network connection. We can hardly connect with a 3G signal – sometimes we can snatch a single bar, in a ‘particular location’ – for us, it’s the window facing the kitchen sink.  For that, we had to take calls in the ‘speaker mode’ because the moment we lift the handset, it runs-out of signal.  Whew! Communication has not been better since we discovered the Smart Watch.

My husband is quite curious about this smart watch that is sold in about US $20. His comrades had been using one for almost a month and it surprises him to know that the product really works. (NOT a SPONSORED POST)

The Philippine Arena

Why is there a need for the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) to spend for structures like Philippine Arena and Phil. Sports Stadium and Phil. Sports Complex?

At a glance, one will not really see the importance of those structures to the service of God not being a chapel. If deeply analyzed, aside from the most common reason others might speculate – to have a place to call our own during big events and gatherings– no more complains of traffic from non-members when we do our religious assembly in public places; the MOST IMPORTANT REASON is we glorify our Lord God when we are united. Church activities keep us united in faith.

Only in a private venue far from main thoroughfares in Metro Manila, we can have our church activities without government intervention (traffic) and public scrutiny (due to traffic we inevitably and unintentionally cause).  Important programs or celebrations especially during occasions most especially worship services that needs huge accommodation can be done in the Philippine Arena (known to be the largest indoor arena on earth). Actually, it is still not enough to house worldwide members.

An Inspirational Quote

Life in this world is full of surprises no matter how much effort you give and whatever you do to make things better, things just do not turn-out the way we wanted or as planned .We cannot really adjust the direction of the wind, sometimes better known as our destiny or fate but we can always adjust our “sail” that symbolizes our actions to reach a certain ‘destination’ , our GOALS. And because of that man has learned to improvise – creativity also applies in life. One must learn to create something from the available resources.

Okay, you were not accepted in the Company you have dreamed of working with –hey, it is not the end of the world for you. We sometimes need to reflect or look back from where it all began not to waste our time being sad about our loss or failure but to seek what caused us to fail. And there comes adjustment. We must employ conservative thinking in a way that we must have a contingency plan; that means when “Plan A” did not work I still have “Plan B” or even “Plan C”... depending on how determined you are to reach your target.
