THE IMPORTANCE OF BRANDED HELMET

Motorcycles are a great option for transportation. Because they are fun, fast and fuel-efficient, but there are many accidents happening in the street and these are involving motorcycles. Actually the daily service of my hubby is motorcycle; he has also experienced an accident and I’m thankful because it’s mild accident. And he keeps away from severe accident due to his proper wearing of branded helmet. By the way, today they have a lot accident happening in everywhere just because some of the riders wearing a fake or unbranded helmet.

Until the time that Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) inspects and marks ICC stickers on motorcycle helmets to check it whether it is branded or unbranded. If the helmet is branded the DTI issued the ICC stickers but if unbranded the riders need to buy the branded helmet and the DTI does not issue the ICC stickers. My hubby was granted immediately because he also used the branded helmet. Using original or branded helmet like Dirt Bike helmets is very important because it helps to protect your head and keep you safe from accident. Aside from that accident happened unexpectedly.

EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

I would like to say thank you to my neighbor for the gorgeous rosary and chocolate as her early Christmas presents. According to her the rosary is came from Rome Country and I’m glad because she gave one for me. The rosary is a combination of red and gold color and besides this is a scented rosary. Anyway this is the 3^rd times to receive the holy rosary from my friends. I am glad because according to the maxim, the holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results. And the Holy Rosary is the storehouse of countless blessings. Once again, I want to say thank you for the early Christmas presents.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Today, the Christmas tree is enjoyed as a holiday decoration by people of many cultures and religions. Just because the Christmas day is approaching people are making Christmas tree. Christmas tree is a central point of home decoration. They have a different design and color you will see in mall but the price is expensive. So if you are creative or artistic you can make a beautiful Christmas tree at your own idea.

Anyway, last week I put Christmas tree at home. The Christmas tree is three years old already. I thought I will change the color combination because the last two years my Christmas tree is a combination of yellow and red. So I bought yellow color decorations this year for a change. And add yellow Christmas lights and ornaments to make it more beautiful and attractive.

THE BEST GIFT IDEAS

Almost one month before Christmas I know people are making their lists of things to buy a gift they could give to their friends, relatives or special someone. I ‘m sure some of you are thinking how many times what the best Christmas gift ideas to buy. I remember last year my friends gave me a Christmas gift box accessories, it looks like a puzzle box. I’m glad because I will put all my accessories in the box. And for me it is the best gift ideas this coming Christmas, because they have many different designs and style what you want to choose and besides the price is good and it’s not just for Christmas only but also in other occasions.

EGG OF LIZARD

Are you familiar with the egg of lizard? Anyway I just want to share you about the egg of lizard. My hubby was discovering the egg of lizard inside the electric fan while he was cleaning it. He took it and showed us. By the way I am very familiar to the egg of lizard. Since I was a child I always saw it in our home, because our home is made of wood lizard like to live there and usually to the moist areas. Actually the egg of lizard is very small, my nephew Vince loves to play the egg, hehehe cute. He was the first time to see this, and he asking me mama what is this? It is an egg? He asks me mama cute egg. Then I also pick up my camera and took a photo.

PRITONG SABA

Are you familiar with saba banana? It is also known as fried saba banana, it is a sweet banana and popular Filipino snack dish. Yesterday in the afternoon I will cook pritong saba for our snack, I also bought the banana to my neighbor, it cost 2.00 per piece and I also bought 20 pieces. Pritong saba is very simple to do it: a.)First you can cut one end of the banana and remove the peel. b.)Then heats up the oil on medium heat. c.) Cook for a couple of minutes. d.) Get ready to put the banana. e.) Then cook for 10 minutes or until the banana becomes brown. f.) Let it cool down for a bit on a wire rack before serving. I also add a little bit of sugar to dip it because I feel much yummy. Or it’s up to you what you like.

By the way another popular banana snack or dessert dish which we also do occasionally is called minatamis na saging or sweetened banana. It is banana plantains boiled in coconut milk and caramel sauce. The other one is saging na maruya it is a super yummy snack, bananacue and many more.

Anyway, based on my research saba banana are rich in potassium, they help the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain. This also helps maintain a regular heartbeat and a proper balance of water in the body. Potassium is also helpful for reducing strokes and regulating blood pressure because of the way it promotes circulatory health.

The Dvd Cabinets

Christmas is fast approaching. I’ve seen my neighborhood already set some Christmas decorations in their house. We haven’t but for the past few days I was very busy cleaning our simple abode so I can put Christmas decor as well. I want to put Christmas tree in our entertainment area. So I started cleaning that area first. It’s messy because of our appliances like TV, DVD player, amplifier and other appliances. I need to organize everything and probably hide some of the wires. Anyway, I love music and I have many CD collections. Aside from this music CD, I also have the collection of different DVD. My hubby told me to buy a new dvd cabinets for our DVD player. I think this is the best idea and aside from that it helps our simple abode to become cozy and good-looking.

DINNER @ BUDDY’S RESTAURANT

I just want to share our dinner time at Buddy’s Restaurant. Buddy’s restaurants are very familiar to everyone they have a many branches here in Quezon province and the main branch is in the province of Lucban, Quezon. By the way the photo below is in the Buddy’s restaurant when my sister treats us for blow out dinner. She inviting us for dinner because she promoted to her job. I think its 8:00 o’ clock in the evening (late dinner hehe) she was very happy to ask me about her promotions and that’s good for her.

Thank you sister for the dinner! Mwahhhh love you sis! May God bless you always and more power to your success!

THE HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT

The photo below is the trick or treats here in our Subdivision last October 31, 2012. There are five teenagers and all of them are our co-members in MSK (Munting Sambayanang Kristyano). Just because of Halloween, they planned trick or treat and they need to wear the scary costume for the trick or treats. They travel from house to house to ask for treats such as candy or money. The two teenagers wearing mascara because there’s no costume available. Actually, our subdivision has no Halloween party, I’m glad they did it, and our subdivision makes happy because of them. Anyway, I took a photo as a souvenir.

The Best Cookware for Your Kitchen

When it comes time to upgrade your cookware, you want to invest in the kind best suited for your needs. With so many different types of pots and pans in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, you need to consider your cooking habits and your budget before making your decision. If you want to buy a matching set, you might want to research KitchenAid® cookware or Berndes® cookware, known for their quality and versatility.

Many cookware manufacturers sell 7- and 10-piece sets. For example, Berndes® brand cookware comes in a 7-piece set of ceramic pots and pans, as well as 10-piece sets of anodized aluminum and stainless steel. If you plan on using all the pieces and have the space, a set represents excellent savings for so many pieces. If, however, you need fewer pans or have a smaller budget, buying individual pieces from KitchenAid® quality cookware or Berndes® home cookware is a good alternative. You likely need at least 2 skillets, a stock pot and a couple of sauce pans to begin. Copper is a very conductive metal, but aluminum is a good, and less expensive, option. Steel cookware is necessary for induction ranges, which function by using electromagnets. Knowing these facts can help you make the right decision.

With even a modest budget, you can acquire the cookware necessary to prepare meals successfully at home. The question of whether to buy a set or individual pieces is largely a determination of the intended use of your cookware, your budget and the storage space in your kitchen. By letting these parameters guide your decision, you are sure to find the best cookware for your home.
