A New Scam in Manila using the cellphone

07.06.2011 by Leah //

I got this from my mailbox today and I think it's worth sharing.  I don't know if it's true but there's no harm in being extra careful.I am reprinting the whole email:Dear all,I would like to share this worrisome experience with all of you.It’s all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from Maxis and he asked me ...

Motivational Things and Muji Pens

07.05.2011 by Leah //

As a young girl, I always look forward to the little "rewards" I get from my parents every time I get good grades in school.   It may be a Hello Kitty pencil or a small toy or a school accessory of my fancy.   When I was in high school it became shirts and branded jeans.   Then I think in college it became extra money (allowance) hehe. The material rewards (however small it ... READ MORE

Our own-style Breaded Pork Fillet

07.03.2011 by Leah //

Our lunch today was very easy to prepare and cook.   It's the ol' classic breaded pork (we used the butterfly-cut pork, instead of porkchops) which we just seasoned in salt and pepper, then coated with flour (seasoned with salt and basil leaves), battered egg and bread crumbs. Here's our pork fillet being fried (by me, yehey!): I feel much comfortable frying meat ... READ MORE

Finally bought Chalk Roach and Ant Killers!

07.01.2011 by Leah //

Actually AJ did.  After much pestering from me (sorry!) he bought 2 boxes (4 chalks all) for us to try out.I've drawn lines already in all our kitchen cabinets.  Tomorrow I will continue with the cupboards.  I think it's better to do that in the morning so I could draw the lines better.  So there.  I hope I won't see creepy insects crawling in there ...

An Erasable Pen

07.01.2011 by Leah //

My officemate, CDR, gave me this wonder pen from the Pilot brand.  I call it a wonder pen because it's erasable!  Pilot's Frixion Erasable Gel Pen is a very convenient pen for me who corrects memos, correspondences and reports among others.   You know my handwriting is not something I can boast of, and I make corrections by crossing out  ...

Food Post: Uncle John’s Fried Chicken (at Mini Stop)

06.29.2011 by Leah //

Whenever we feel like eating fried chicken during office lunch, but without the hassle of ordering from McDonald's or Jollibee, we just walk our way to the Mini-Stop store just behind our office.We love their Uncle John's Fried Chicken.   Very affordable at P65.00 per order (of the 1-piece chicken meal).True to its label, it's big (but not really hot hehe).   You ...
