Bromeliad is from the family of monocot flowering plants, grown in the tropical areas of the Americas, Africa and Asia.

An expensive yet lovely plant in the Philippines. Plant lovers collects various species of these plants. But the danger is, it is prone to dengue due to the hallow-like in the center where water retains. Found this rare specie from Mrs. Ladia's collection.

On my way home yesterday, i was stopped by this scene:

In less than 3 minutes they were able to clear the area. This only shows how efficient INEC is. Good job INEC.

early morning fuss on ballpens

Every June before classes start, i make it a point to see what the kids need in school. It is an annual trip to the bookstore for their school supplies, that would last them the half school term.
This morning they were asking me to buy more ballpens. Upon investigation, the ballpens they bought last June don't write. Maybe the ink stuck or whatever.

BIC Ballpen.....i  wonder where my son bought these. BIC, reminds me of my co-ed days. Aylabet!!!

where it happened....

Last February, I had an accident which made me lame for two months. I can't believe for two whole months I was invalid.

coke glass from mcdo

I so love McDonald's.....my whole collection of Beijing olympics, Fifa and Can collection.

Took me sometime before i made this post. These two kids ages 9 and 7 were drowned by the water impounding while they were trying to catch a  frog. They are the children of an OFW in search for a greener pasture for the these kids future. RIP!

lil' chef

Spotted these kids having fun at Greenwich. Early introduction to making pizza.....nice!

fuss overload....loadwallet

Retailers of the Smart electronic load  are having a hard time purchasing load wallet since its been a monopoly of a single company. There are roaming reloaders who comes to areas on schedule and they cannot sell u load unless ur sim card has been tagged by them. Ano yun????

when it rains....

I was walking down the street to where the car was parked when suddenly it rained so hard and my umbrella was in the car. I went inside to nearest store to while away the rain hoping to stop.
It was 3 pm and i found sales persons dancing with their daily 3pm exwercise.

I seldom shop in this store. But I find it more convenient for there is less crowd.

goodbye 5 sis....

The first and only department store in the north, 5 Sisters Superstore. Built in the late 70s 5 SISTERS boosts the one-stop shopping, with a department store, cinemas, grocery store and a resto.

Today, we say goodbye to 5SISTERS as it closes it's doors on July 31 to give way to SM. And Aloha was there for its last hurrah!!!!

sakaling makalusot......

I had this case of two kids drowned by the dike. As a protocol had to report the matter to the police and the rural health officer to be called. The police force came and so with the doctor. Since the morgue is a mere 10 miles from the location, the doctor had to go there for further autopsy to be escorted by the police. We were ready to go, the funeral service car, my car, the doctor's car and the police car. Suddenly one of the police officers approached and told me that their deputy chief needs to talk to me. I obliged and went to the deputy chief. He told me that they need to come to the morgue but they don't have enough gas and if possible will give them kahit 200pesos lang for their gas. I only had my cellphone and yosi. I did not have any money.

Q is, shall i give in to their demand? Am i supposed to give? Don't they have gas allowance for their operation? Can anyone from the PNP enlighten me on this matter?

doctor, who are you?

This is an overdue post actually, but still i'm looking for this doctor, who's signature appears below. He is at the EENT Department in one of the hospitals here.

what to do when the car key is broken?

  The car key was broken yesterday, the other part of it was left inside the keyhole

And he had a hard time to fix it. Took this guy five solid hours

While waiting, went to eat spaghetti, which used to be soo good, and it's not the same as it tasted before, but it's good anyway.....

wines.....

I was at a birthday party last week and it turned out for free wine tasting. There are different kinds of wine to choose from,  mostly imported and vintage ones but I find the not so famous BUGNAY WINE from Adams, Ilocos Norte stand out for my tastebud.  The TAPUY RICE WINE from Ifugao comes second.

Yes folks pang local lang taste ko.

 Winner!!!

waiting....with patient and patience

It takes a lot of patience in going to the doctor. First you have to cue to get your hospital number/record. You're late if you get there at 9.

The clerk calls the number in batch of tens

While waiting for your turn, you can seat if there is any vacant.

 And there is only one clerk attending to thousand.

Then he will give you another number, proceed inside the building for Surgery, Ortho, OB, Pedia, etc.

Same procedure as above.

coco oil on good friday

As a child, my grandma would make oil out of coco milk during Good Friday. To these days, my mom does it the same. I don't know is this is religion related or just a tradition. But my mom believes that oil cooked/made on a Good Friday got healing powers/effect. As soon as the oil is done, she would set aside for cooling then transfer it to a clean jar, to replace the oil made the year before.
Last night, she called all the kids and them them with the coco oil. The kids obligued, no complaints were heard. Then my 9 year old daughter suddenly asked:
Child: Grandma, u applied oil on my arms and legs, when I go to sleep won't i be feasted by the ants?
Grandma: No baby, not at all, hahaha.....
Me: Ha hahahahahahaha (ellek mode)

killer market

I had an accident at the laoag city market yesterday. Now im in bed with fractured ankle, sprained knee and shoulder. This happened at the southwest stairs of the market where there is an uneven pavement by the landing.

Laoaguenos are helpful, alright. According to some market workers, I am the 5th vicitm of said pavement. One case is of a woman whose head was severely injured and was rushed to the hospital. And hospital bills are no joke, i tell u.  My concern, why do the city government and the market administrator   just leave the pavement like that? Why don't they make any repair or whatever for the safety of the public?

I am calling the attention of the city market administrator.
