Jakie and the Beadstalk

It's the holidays, so I am still online window shopping, or is it window online shopping? Haha! While browsing through some online shops, I saw some interesting stuff (being sarcastic here, my dears). Here they are: 1. Brand new fake tooth cover Who, in his right mind, would bay second hand fake tooth/cover-whatever-that-is? 2. Polaroid camera cover There's really nothing wrong with buying a polaroid camera cover IF the description fits the name of the product. See the description: HD pixels, accurate recording action, blah blah, for only P599.00.  This description is for the camera, and not for the cover which is the one being sold. If one is not too careful, that person would think that he/she is buying a polaroid camera, and not a cover, at a very cheap price! 3. Diffuser Diffusers are good. I am just not sure if they really serve the purpose, but a good friend gave me a portable one and I like user it. I really have no problem with the descript...

Live and Be Well with Taiwan Excellence Products Rapid technological innovation has paved the way for better healthcare and medical solutions. Older people can move around with ease thanks to e-motors and scooters, people monitor their  physical activity with handy trackers, and surgeons are able to perform more efficient and safer operations with smart surgical solutions. This is very important because the thought of getting a procedure can be terrifying for someone. I remember a friend who almost screamed while having her MRI in the hospital. Smart healthcare solutions are very crucial for patients who feel intimidated by hospital equipment and procedures. When my Papa was hospitalized before his death, getting his blood sugar was a huge problem every time!             These are just some of the breakthroughs of Taiwan Smart Healthcare products. Bearing the Taiwan Seal of Excellence—a mark accorded only to the highest quality brands—...

Warning: mababaw na post ito. I am not sure when I started dreaming of owning Sharpie pens. Call me "mababaw ang kaligayahan" but it's one of my dreams to get Sharpie pens. I don't even know why. I just heard that they write better and last longer than ordinary markers. So after months of salivating over the 21-piece Sharpie pens at National, I tried to search for a cheaper alternative in Lazada. It's 25 pieces this time, at P729.00. Here they are... my new babies!!! Thanks for visiting!

I was again given the privilege to visit another province - Surigao! The public beach in Surigao Surigao is pleasant. Sadly, I didn't have a full day to enjoy it... just a couple of hours only since we had to work. Road going to the Pier And when in Surigao, it is a must to visit Siargao, the surfing capital of the Philippines. Siargao is about 2 1/2-3 hours away from Surigao City via a motor vessel.  Fare is P210 pesos, plus P15.00 terminal fee.  Tricycle to the surfing area costs around P200 for the entire tricycle. The ride from the port to the accommodations was roughly an hour  of scenic, winding road. The port is very clean! The ship is also clean! There's tv in every cabin, or whatever they call it. There was a promo at that time- it was on the deck- for about P175 or 190. It was not airconditioned and there was no tv, but you see close up where the ship is going and you can feel the wind on your hair and the amazing scent of the sea. I would ha...

Life gives us a lot of blows and punches. Just like the recent Pacquiao-Horn fight, life gives us a lot of surprises- some good, some bad.  There are so times I complain about life - why, despite working hard, we still have financial difficulties, why misunderstandings in relationships still arise, why traffic is terrible, all those mundane questions about life. Then, an unexpectedly as life's blows, I get bowled over by simple but meaningful acts of love like the one below, when I got inside our family vehicle on my way to work. Ahh, life is good, after all...

Sometimes, my eye catches a lot of weird stuff.  This morning, while checking out Lazada for some school stuff for my kid, I saw this: Ganito na pala ang itsura ng sando ngayon. Is that a sando shirt tank? Hmmm...
