Project: Lightning McQueen Crochet Hat

Happy New Year to All! To start the year, I would like to share my last project for the year 2013 – the Lightning McQueen Crochet Hat.

Matt is a certified fan of Cars. He knows the major characters like McQueen, Hudson, Sally, Mater, Sheriff and Mac. He even called my service car as McQueen (Red Picanto), his Tito’s Pick-up as Hudson and our neighbor’s black car as Sheriff.

Last Christmas, we decided to have him a Cars-inspired outfit - clothes and shoes. To complete the set from head to foot, I made a Lightning McQueen crochet hat. Nakakakonsensya kasi yung sabi ni Mommy: “Andami natin nagawang hats for others this year, pero wala pa tayo nagagawa para kay Matthew.” This is one of the reasons why we closed the MTOs at Momaye’s Shoppe on the first week of December.

Save on Your Electric Bill: Extreme Power Saver V3

It was on the news that our electric bill will increase this month due to increase in generation charge. Finally, last week, I received our Meralco Billing (November 16-December 15) and was surprised that our bill increases by about 500 pesos for a 10-kWh additional consumption. Mommy always reminds everyone at home to unplug any electrical appliances at home when not in use since it still consumes electricity. I know that this is not enough so we need to looks for other ways to save on our electricity consumption

One of our colleagues mentioned before that they are using a power corrector device to reduce not directly on the price to be paid but on the power consumption. Once the power consumption was reduced, the price follows. Wala naman kasi tayong magagawa pagdating sa presyo ng kuryente. According to him, even they used welding machine during their house renovation, their power consumption was not that high compared to the previous one.

Merry Christmas to All!

"We consider Christmas as the encounter,
the great encounter,
the historical encounter,
the decisive encounter,
between God and mankind. 
He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice."

Weight-Loss Using Hand Reflexology

Photo Source:  Swedish Massage and Indian Head Massage Therapy with Merve..
The year is nearing to its end and I am still 3kgs away from my target weight and instead of reducing the gap, it might increase due to holiday season. Still, I am glad because I shed about 2 kilos since I started hitting my goal last June. Minsan, medyo tinatamad kasi mag-exercise lalo na kapag weekends. LOL

Recently, I am searching ways or exercises while at the office to help facilitate weight-loss and I found something about reflexology that can also help achieving my goal just by stimulating some reflex points in our hands. This will only take 5 minutes every day and better if you can do this longer during breaks.

Gloc-9’s “Sirena”, “Katulad ng Iba” and “Magda”

The first time I heard Gloc-9’s Sirena, naaliw kaagad ako. Then I heard that there are other nice songs by him. I think these where all original composition by him. The other two songs that I like were about “prostitute” (sorry for the term, I cannot find an nicer word for it) and the other one is about bullying.

“Sirena” (Feat. Ebe dancel) is a story of Jose who happened to be a gay since he was a kid. His father keeps on beating him because he cannot accept the truth about Jose’s sexual preference. But one night, even with difficulty to speak due to cancer, his father asked forgiveness for all the things he did to him.
