I would see these humongous units of Iwata Evaporative Airconditioner in stores. They would turn on their air conditioning unit and use Iwata as something to augment the coolness of the place. Its purpose really is to support the air conditioning, not to become the main source of cold air. Indoors, it is quite noisy and takes up a lot of space.But in our case, our home church bought a couple of...

Vic Sotto is a funny man, star of comedy movies, and host of a noontime TV show here in the Philippines. He had been married once to the very gorgeous actress Dina Bonnevie and they have two kids, Danica and Oyo Boy. But their marriage did not last long and the couple had lived their separate lives now for the longest time, longer than they have been together.Vic then had a string of relationsh...

The Jara Beach Resort in Bago City, Negros Occidental, Philippines was the place to go to when I was young. It was a beach resort several minutes away from our house. It has black sand, but we didn't mind. You can go swimming in the ocean or you can choose to stay in a shallow pool, which is actually part of the beach that they concretized to simulate a pool with sea water. When it is high ...

I have a history of allergies so my pediatrician recommended that we give our baby Nan One HW in order that allergies may be minimized if allergens are delayed. She said that Nan One HW has hydrolyzed whey protein, so it does not cause allergic reactions to infants. Since I have very little breastmilk, most of what my baby had was really this formula.Our pedia already warned us that since some ...

Well, honestly, I know quite a lot about business. I know what business I like--the area where I am good at--and that is publishing. However, I am well aware that I am not a business person either. I am more of a temperamental, creative person who works when she wishes. That is why I don't like to rent and office and report there everyday. That would mean a routine for me, waking up at the ...

My parents' old water purifier needs a filter replacement but the brand is no longer existent. So there are no more replacement parts. So I got them a new one, the Megafresh Mineral Water Purifier. It was on sale, with a $4-discount.I forgot how many liters is the water storage area, but it is bigger than their previous unit. The magic filter is thick so when the water passes through it, th...

Wilkins Distilled Water is perhaps the most in demand distilled drinking water in our market. It is recommended by pediatricians for newborn babies until they are about 2 years old.My doctor recommended it, too. Oh I don't know how many bottles of 5 liters and 6 liters have we bought in all! I like Wilkins for my baby, either giving it as plain water or with her formula mix because it is li...

When I was younger, my allergic rhinitis was at its worse. Every single day that I wake up, I would sneeze. A lot of times, the sneezing would go away mid-morning. But many times, this would continue that my immunity would fluctuate and I would catch a cold or flu.During these times, I would immediately pop a tablet of Celestamine to stop the sneezing. In less than 30 minutes, the irritation on...

Langub Beach Resort is a wonderful white beach resort located in Sipalay City, southern Negros Occidental, Philippines. If you are looking for a place to unwind, then Langub is it. Langub is part of the strip of white sand beaches in Sipalay City. But what makes Langub unique is that although it is not separated from the main island, it cannot be reached by land either on car or on foot. One ha...

Since 2002, I had been working freelance. So it has been 8 years that I have not been employed by a single company. After 7 years of being employed, I resigned and never went back to working anymore. And I am happy that I did, too.You may probably call me a jack of all trades. Although my expertise really lie in advertising, as I worked in an advertising agency before, I also have experience in...

I got to thinking, in this modern day and age, when almost everyone has access to a computing unit (whether a desktop, laptop, a cellphone computer, etc.), how early should one expose his or her child to the use of computers? And the other question would be, should children have their own unit at home? Should each member in the household have his or her own personal computer? Would that be wise...

I have opened a Premier checking account with a local branch of Maybank. The service combines a checking account, a passbook, and an ATM card. I think it is pretty good. The opening and maintaining balance though is pretty steep at P20,000 which is roughly $500. That is pretty big in our currency.Anyway, service is pretty good, except that sometimes there are employees who are not very accommod...

My hubby and I got our first car a couple of years ago, which was about a year into our marriage. It was a second hand car, a 2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1 model in Sunflower Yellow. Yeah, it is screaming yellow. But for a small car, we think that the outrageous color fits it perfectly. It looks like a toy and the bright yellow seems to match the playful look of our car.We are just so blessed to have t...

In Bacolod, a city in Southern Philippines, there are many car rental providers in order to make your trip to this city and the province of Negros Occidental pleasant.A friend of mine from the United States came over for a visit and she wanted me to arrange for a car rental for her. I went to Katheer Rent a Car. I really like their service. The owner himself personally attended to us. He and hi...

I had to make a separate review of this product because I am raving about it. I did not know that pH Care has a new variant called Cool Wind.The pH Care line had a buy one take one promo one time and I got two bottles of different variants. And since there were free items, I got a total of 4 bottles. Then when I got home, I saw that the other one was Cool Wind. It was said on the label that it ...

In our country, public school education is being looked down. Going to a public means that you cannot afford good quality education offered in private schools.Although my parents could have afforded to send me to a private school when I was young because I was their only child then and my father had a good job, but they couldn't because I have motion sickness. Whenever I would get into the ...

From where I am, there are international and national banks offering us credit cards. However, nothing still beats the convenience having a credit card from a bank with a local branch because it is convenient to do business.Take for instance the paying of bills. I have an international card that I pay with Metrobank and I have to fill out a payment slip, go to the bank, endure the queue, and pa...

Most of the batteries that we use for our gadgets are the AA size. Although we like Energizer, they can sometimes be a bit pricey. Since we are on a limited budget, we use the Eveready Super heavy duty battery (black color, as opposed to the blue and red). Eveready comes in three colors, black, blue, and red, but it is the black one that lasts longer. Okay, it does not perform like the Energize...

In my office before, we had computer chairs for most employees. We liked the mobility that the wheeled chairs give us. We don't need to stand up if we are just to reach out for something.But computer chairs are quite expensive. And they are not really right for the waiting area of our office. So instead, we bought Cofta Monobloc Plastic Chairs. These are on the high end spectrum of plastic ...

I have tried other kinds of menthol sticks, but I prefer Jap Stick. Whereas other methol sticks are just formed into a cylinder and glued on a handle, the Jap Stick has its own tube where you can push from the button so that it can go all the way up. Much like a lip gloss.This feature makes it very efficient and it keeps the menthol stick from breaking apart during a fall.I am always with this ...
