Motorbike insurance

Would anyone know if we need insurance for our motorbike? It’s been with us for two years now and we used it everyday. Hubby brings and picks me up at the office with it. We ride it when we go to my sister’s house, when we go to malls and to friend’s house. It is very convenient but I get worried when I hear news of motorcycle accidents happening almost everyday. Although I know hubby is a good driver I am still wondering if do we need to get one so I can start asking for auto insurance quotes or something like that. Are there any insurance companies that insure a motorbike or only cars?

Maybe I should start calling.

Fellowship Moments!!

It’s good to gather with friends once in a while.

We used to do it once a week way back when we are all still single but now that most of us are already married we try to do it at least once a month or when there is an occasion to celebrate. We’ve been friends for a long time and we hope to be friends forever. You know when you’re with friends you notice you’re not getting any younger because of your topics, now a days we often talk of owning homes and business. We haven’t talked of business insurance though.

So last month, we went to Cogeo again for two birthday celebration and a baby shower. We had fun! The boys lost again in our bible pictionary game.

Playing games

The boys lost so that's their consequence

This month we’re going to Alabang for our godchid’s second birthday. Can’t wait!!

I cooked Menudo!

It was last Saturday, I actually craved for my Mom's menudo but it was impossible to ask her to cook for me so I ended up cooking it myself with a help from my brother in law since I have no idea of the ingredients. So here's what I had;

1/2 kilo of pork
1/2 kilo of pork liver
1 pouch tomato sauce
1 liver spread
1 big carrots
2 medium size potatoes
onion
garlic
pepper

I sauteed onion and garlic in margarine ( have no butter eh) then the pork which I marinated in soy sauce and then the liver. After few minutes I put in the liver spread, the tomato sauce, the carrots and potatoes and then pepper and salt to taste. I let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes and it's done. I love it!! Hubby loved it to the max! Sayang I forgot to take a picture of it.

Health issues

After being sick for almost a week this month I’m trying to stay as healthy as I can now. I am quite big but I am not that healthy I know. That PCO syndrome is one of those health problems I have. It’s hard to get sick specially when you don’t have any health care provider except for the government’s Philhealth. I wish our office can give us some health benefits. Or if only I could I’ll have one for me and for hubby.

I have actually inquired to Blue Cross already, most of our bosses are into Blue Cross so I know they’re good, I just don’t know if they are as good as Blue Cross North Carolina. But I know they are easy to talk to.

But for now that I can’t still afford it, like I have said, I am trying my best to stay healthy. I’m taking Fern-C at the moment, also a ferrous sulfate because my last CBC resulted to “severe anemia” and also I am drinking Vitaplus which is also a health drink.

With all those supplements I am feeling a lot better now.

Cash for Gold

I remember when I was still young and we still live in the province, I often hear man/woman shouting while wandering the streets, why shout? because they do sell almost everything from bread to fruits, vegetables, the famous taho (soya) and other stuff. Now there is also someone who would shout something like this “buying old and broken watches and buying golds”. Mom used to sell old and broken watches to him.

Now that we live in the city, I don’t hear them anymore except the taho guy.

And selling gold is now entirely different. You can now just send your gold and then wait for your money, only you have to choose the safe one. There are lots of cash for gold sites out there so make sure you studied and weighed all your options. I think gold-cash.com is a safe one, why? because they have their 100% satisfaction guaranteed seal which you don’t see in some other sites. It is important to be well informed when you are dealing with money matters so if I were you I’ll go for the safe ones.

Missing Farm Town

I planted sunflowers - gone to waste, planted wheat- gone to waste, planted strawberries-gone to waste. That has been the life in my farm now eversince we lost internet at home. It's like I'll play today and not for a week. I planted again rice which I hope I can harvest today before it go to waste again for the nth time.

Good thing the animals in the farm are not dependent to the farm owner, otherwise all my chickens and horse and sheep will be dead now. At least there you don’t need to feed them and give them anything like cattle supplies. I am not really a good farmer I know. But guess what, I am dreaming of my own farm someday, with trees (yup! something like the faceboook farmtown), crops, cattle, chicken, and a nice farm house.

I wonder if I can harvest my crop now.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY

Skywatching from the boat.
Anawangin,Zambales

Anawangin revisited

We went to Zambales again last June 21, we planned this trip so Liz (a youth missionary fro the US ) can see a bit of our country side. I hope I did not fail her. We stayed in Megan’s resort, we chose the cheapest room we can stay in, and guess what it’s really basic, there were 2 beds and a CR, there is a built in bamboo table outside where we used as the kitchen. We are the only people in the resort so that’s nice.

(Our cabin)

We went to Anawangin cove for a day trip. After negotiating with the boat man and applying loads of SPF lotion not wrinkle cream of course, off we went to the cove.

(On our way to the boat ride- Pundaquit river)

It is still beautiful!! I think the lake is even more beautiful now. The sad thing is there is an additional lot where there are few tables and huts. Obviously this place is becoming so popular thus the additional huts. There were no people except us. We have the entire island for ourselves. We really enjoyed it, well not to mention the big waves that scared me to death. The boat we rented is a smaller boat compared to what we rented before.


I’m sure I’ll be back again to Anawangin, I want to stay overnight again and camp there. It’s so peaceful and so calm. I am really in love with the place.

Fish SPA

Cost is 120.00 for 20 minutes plus the entrance to the Manila Ocean park..That's too pricey for me, thanks to the generosity of friends I was able to experience it. I was so hesitant at first, I really do not want to put my feet down..scared of the hungry fish on the water but you get used to it in a while (yeah just when I am getting used to it the boy then called us and said our time is over..tsk..tsk)

Fish Spa or Doctor Fish- how it works? what benefits? Well, they said they eat the dead skin cells but for more information here's the wikipedia link.

And here's our pictures!!!

Manila Ocean Park

Entrance Fee : 400.00 for adults
If you live in Manila you get 10% discount. Yay for my ID addressed in Manila.
For kids : 350.00 ( If I am not mistaken)

I think it's sulit na for 360.00, you get to enjoy a lot of sea creatures you don't see so often. I hope all my nieces and nephews can visit all together one time. It would be fun!!

We went there June 24 which is holiday in Manila, there are only few people there actually.

That's us in front of Ocean Park, the scary spider crab, and the spotted garden eel.

J-mie and me, I didn't dare touch the star fish, and more ocean lovely creatures.

That's a shark (yes the one in the embryo or egg?) , you can not take pictures with flash so pardon the blurry and not so good pictures, of course I only have a point and shoot camera so that's understandable. hehe!

next pictures : FISH SPA!!!

Will catch up

Things are not yet okay with me, this past few days are horrible. That explains why there are no entrecard drops, no blog visits, no blog entries and all. But I decided to just blog to at lease ease the burdens and stuff I have.

I already have here in my USB loads of pictures from several happenings we had in the past few weeks. I hope I can upload them all to facebook later today.

For the meantime here's my list of to blog :

1. Manila Ocean Park - done!!!
2. My very first FISH SPA experience
3. Anawangin revisited
4. Liz (our youth missionary from USA) farewell party.
5. Young professionals (now young couples) fellowship also Michelle's baby shower.

So you see? even I am sick or I feel sick right at the moment there are still good stuff happening around me from time to time, well except for this week I guess. Anyways, will try to do all those blog entries this week.

HAve a nice day everyone!
