Ginataang Hipon(Shrimp in the coconut milk)

I like any food with "gata"(coconut milk).My favorite is Ginataang hipon(shrimp in the coconut milk)with bamboo shoots but in this photo,I didn't have any stock of bamboo shoots so it's only shrimps.Hmm,I still remember how delicious it was :)I think,I've eaten 2 plates of rice hehehe.

Another nice steam cleaner machine

As we searched on home steam cleaner machine to remove the dirt and stains on the floor tiles and grouts in our future house and also for some other cleaning purposes,we have found some at Allergy Buyers Club.They have these Ladybug steam cleaners,another great multi-purpose steam cleaner machine that also clean in natural way without using chemicals with TANCS option which are EPA certified as disinfectants.These machines have nice reviews from customers for its quality,performance and reliability.Another great steam cleaner for tough cleaning problems!

Looking for a nice watch for my husband

I've been looking for a nice gift for my husband and I wanted to surprised him about it.I'm so exited just thinking of it :).I want to give my husband a valuable gift that he can really use everyday and I want him to remember me,whenever he sees it :).That's why I decided to give him a watch.I've been looking for some nice watches on the net and stumbled at Essential Watches site.There,I've seen many high quality timepieces particularly some Zenith watches.I particularly love the Zenith Chronomaster and I really wanted it for my husband.I'm sure he would love to have it.

Want some Pansit Lome?

I like to cook and if I like some dishes,I tried to do it at home.We don't go to the restaurants often.Since my husband likes anything with pansit and likes the lome,I usually cook it for him.I remember when I was still in the Philippines,whenever my father have his salary,we always go to our favorite restaurant and ordered some Pansit Lome with loaf bread :)All of us were happy just by eating that,seems that we eaten something very special :)

Too bad,at this photo,I don't have shrimps,I usually put some.

Selecting the best credit card

I wanted to have my own credit card and it's been so long that I've been asking this to my husband.Before,he always said that I can't handle it well because I might use it all the time and tempting to have a spending spree that will result a big problem later.But now,he is ok for me to have my own credit card and I assured him that I will use it wisely.Now,we're looking for a credit card that suits my needs.

Since internet is the best way to look for anything,we've searched and found a comprehensive website that gives some nice informations about different credit cards and general information about financial planning.Also at Your Credit Network,they always give the latest and greatest credit card offers available.Not only that,they do some reviews of different credit cards in their blog.It's very helpful to the customers,it enables them to compare which one is the best for their needs.

I wanted to have a lower interest credit card,so having read some nice reviews from Your Credit Network blog,I'll choose Blue from American Express since my husband is an american express card holder also.What I like in this card is that,it has a lot of benefits like purchase protection,auto rental insurance,a year-end financial statement,offers members the chance to earn points that can be redeemed for various services and products and various travel and emergency assistance services.I'm thankful that I found this site,it helps us a lot choosing the right credit card for me.

Wine rack

No question,my husband is a wine lover.He likes to drink wine,while having a good meal.We even have some boxes of different wines.It's been so long that we wanted to buy a wine rack so that we can put those wines out and it would be easier for us to take whenever we want to drink some.So we looked on the net and we've found some nice wine racks and its accessories at Wine Rack Store.They have the largest selection of wood and metal wine racks.They offer quality products at great values and offer the low price guarantee to their customers.What an excellent offer,huh!We already found a nice wine rack that would fit in our kitchen area and also with the wines.So guys,check their site for your wine accessories needs.

Luckily someone recommended americanpassport.com to them which has an express service of getting a passport.After completing and submitting all the necessary papers,they have waited 4-6 days for the passport to arrive.Now they don't worry anymore because she has her new passport,thanks to the fast and reliable service of American Passport Express.Their european tour is only a week away!

Can poor Filipinos still afford to buy rice?

Everytime I watch the Filipino programs on the net and even here in France,the hiking price of rice are always the subject.I really don't understand why the prices of basic commodities are skyrocketing while the Philippine peso is soaring?Normally,the prices will be lesser but it's not what happen right now.Sad but it's true,poor people are the victims.How can they afford to buy rice at 38 pesos per kilo and eat three times a day?That's why many people eat NFA rice right now making long queue just to buy 2 kilos per day.Even here in France,we feel the pain coz before the 25 euros per 20 klo sack of rice is now 35 euros in our asian store.I hope government will do something about it.

Visiting Acropolis

Acropolis is located in Athens Greece and it is one of the well known monuments in the world and one of the archaeological sites in the country.Here,you can see the Parthenon, a temple built for the Greek goddess Athena,the Propylaea that serves as the entrance going to Acropolis and the Erechtheum with the famous Porch of the Maidens.

It is on the top of the hill,so going there you must climb the hill or take a taxi if you want.It’s really a breathtaking view to see the whole Athens .When we went there last October 2007,they still reconstructing the place,I don’t know how long it will take but I guess it will take many years to bring it the way it was before.

Using CAT5e

Recently we upgraded our 2 desktop computers.We want them to communicate together by gigabit ethernet networks but to function it correctly,we have to change our old CAT5 ethernet cable.Since my husband knows a lot about computers,he knows what's the best way.He upgraded it into CAT5e which is excellent to use in compliance with 1000BASE-T.Now,we're happy because the two computers comunicate faster and it's easy for us to send files to each computers.By the way,we saw lots of CAT5e products at Fire Fold.It's really worth to visit their site if you need some audio-video and computer-networking related products,they supply quality products at affordable prices.

Finding a right job

I had a phone call last week from a friend who was living before here in Paris but migrated to London to be with her husband who's working there.She was a certified accountant in the Philippines and even teached in the university before coming here.I remember she had some difficulties to find an accountancy related jobs here in France for she couldn't speak well in french and the educational system was different too,she had to go back to school.It was really hard for her,she tried but still have difficulty to understand the lessons since it was all in french.

Luckily her husband was assigned in London and after three months,she followed him.She didn't wasted so much time,she searched for work after she got there,since now it would be easy for her to have a job.She's now in english speaking country.She searched on the net and found many Accountancy jobs at Martin Ward Anderson,a professional recruitement specialist agency.She got a call from them,telling that they were interested in her CV.She told me,their consultants and staffs provided her great advice and support,they really help to find the right job for her.Now,she got the appropriate job she's been waiting for,she's working at the bank as an accountant.The long wait has ended.She was very thankful to Martin Ward Anderson agency for it helped her reaching her dreams in the foreign land.

Earthquake in China

Im really sad of what's happening in Asia right now,after Burma's tragedy, hitted by cyclone with more than 20,000 people died,now it's China's turn.The country was hitted by a powerful earthquake that killed almost 9000 people and thousands of missing too.It is said that it was the most violent earthquake in 30 years.What a worst consecutive tragedies!

If only we can stop these natural calamities.

Vacation in France

For me as a person living here,I can tell that France is a very beautiful country with great people,excellent cuisines,nice beaches and lots of historical buildings such as museums and castles.It's still spring right now but the weather is like as summer,so visiting now or even on summer is a great time to explore the beauty of France.I can tell you,it's worth to visit the different places here.

I've found on the net a site which caters France Holidays,you just choose if you want to go camping,having a mobile home and beach holidays or just having a short breaks or holidays at Disneyland Paris,they will give you the best places they can offer.The beaches and the camp sites here in France are nice especially at the south,they are all lovely!not only that you can visit some interesting places too as there are many castles in every place.And if you happen to choose the Disneyland holidays,you can visit too the romantic city in the world which is Paris,30 minutes ride by train.And also have a chance to see the Eiffel Tower,Louvre museums,Moulin Rouge and some known places here in Paris.

Nice weather

Well,as what I've written few days ago,we're just so lucky that our weather is constantly nice.Though we're busy here in our house,I tried to finish the assignments,especially they'll be expiring soon and I need some bucks to help my lola who's sick right now,hope she gets better soon.Im hoping to have some opps more.

Have a nice day everyone!

I want to lose some weight

I've been planning to lose some weight for quite sometime now,I just felt that I become bigger and bigger as the days pass by which is not good!After I saw my friend Linda who is now in a good shape after taking some diet pills,I was so intrigued about it.I wanted to be slim too.

So I search on the net about diet pills and I found some nice reviews on consumer price watch.One of those is from Phentermine diet pill,which is an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight especially to those obese persons.It's usually prescribe for the people with medical risk because of their weight and kind of work.No wonder,it's one of the most sought after prescription diet pill on the market today.

Laptop memory

I noticed that our laptop performance is getting bad especially when doing some graphics,sometimes it took so long when opening a file or a page.It really made me upset!I told my husband about it and he said that we have to upgrade the memory.

We were looking on the net for a high application performance and with great computing capacity laptop memory and we found some nice at Memory Store.It manufactures memories for computers and laptops with a reasonable price and a lifetime guarantee.Whata good deal huh!.A great solutions for any memories needs.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all the mother's out there!It will be my second time to celebrate this special occasion.Ours here in France will be on the last Sunday of May so,two more weeks to go.I know in Philippines and in USA,they celebrate it tomorrow.Kudos to us mothers! for we have the most novel job in the world :)

So sad that I can no longer celebrate it with my mother,I miss you Ma,happy mother's day to you too wherever you are.

Medical Insurance Supplement

In France,everybody must have a medical insurance supplement especially to the older ones,for it complements all the health services bills.It’s the same thing in USA too,older people or the retirees who are eligible for medicare are looking for medicare supplement because medicare alone can’t fully covered all the hospitalization or any health services bills.Worst,if you don’t have any health insurance supplement,you will shoulder the cost of services not covered by medicare,definitely a heavy load to the patient and for the family!Good to know that Mature health Center is there to provide affordable health insurance needs for the older people.It has many great medical insurance solutions for people in medicare.

Great week!

For almost a week now,our weather is so nice.We see Mr sunlight often,which is a good news for us :)The other day and yesterday we went out in the afternoon and profit the warm day.Right now we're on 25-27 degree celcius,many people wear summer clothes,wearing sleeveless and shorts!I guess I have to put our winter clothes in the box,we'll not need them anymore :)

Daewoo rear spoiler

It's been five years that we have this Daewoo Leganza car.We love this not only we're comfortable but also an eco-friendly too since it runs by LPG, so we want to take care it as much as we can.New cars right now are very expensive.We want to bring it to the repair shop for some dents repairment and we've been contemplating if we will change some of the parts to look more nicer.

We've seen some nice rear spoilers at Wood Dash Experts that will surely add some distinct look to our car.We really like their Daewoo custom style lighted rear spoiler.Their prices are very reasonable but high quality made.Check their website for any car accessories needs.

Burma's Tragedy

In the TV news here in France three days ago,I was really saddened when I saw the video of one of the worst tragedies in Burma.Their country was hitted by the powerful cyclone named Nargis.As of now,21,793 people died and 40,695 missing,thats a lot!

I feel pity to all of them,hope the government will do something to provide humanitarian assistance.Surely there will be food shortages,hospitalization for the survivals,medicines and some needs.Hope many people, especially the rich countries will help Burma coz the country alone can't sustain all the needs.

The Burma tragedy video I found in you tube.

Car Rental

Everytime we travel,we usually rent a car.We love to explore different places of the country that we want to visit.Having a car can saves a lot of time,you don't need to wait for a bus or train to come and you can go wherever you want.Now that we're going to Ireland this coming summer,we already made a reservation in Car Hire Dublin since we'll be visiting the capital city.

For as low as 16 euros a day you can rent a car already in Argus-rentacar.Their rates includes collision damage waiver,vehicle damage waiver and airport fee.With such great coverages,we're so happy doing business with them.

Hot and Sour chinese soup

This soup is called soupe pekinoise in french.I usually cook this soup for my husband,he really likes it a lot and so do I.We love the hot and sour taste of it.Whenever I prepare this,it's already our all in 1 meal,it has meat and lots of veges.

I put some chicken fillets,tofu,many vegetables like carrots,mushrooms,bamboo shoots,onions,scallions,some eggs and sometimes I add sotanghon.It's easy to do it and a very healthy meal.

Video captioning

I read somewhere on the net about deaf children's happiness on watching some of the documentary videos at their school.This special school provides deaf students closed captioning videos since they can't hear the audio sound.Providing them an educational materials that really fits their needs really a practical way to educate more these special children.Now,they can fully understand or comprehend what they have seen on the videos.

I've read that they have done their video captionings in Video Caption Corporation.They're satisfied with their excellent service and reasonable price.That's why they do all their video captionings there.Oh by the way,they have subtitle service too when I read their online site.

Health Insurance

Health insurance is very important to every individual.Especially when someone is sick and can't afford all the hospital bills.Many people don't even have insura
