My brother who lives in Manila visited us last Saturday and brought home these yummy Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I don't have a camera right now so I just grabbed a photo from mikesblender.com.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite doughnuts. I love it with coffee.

One of the things that make a big cut on our budget is on buying medicines. My wife is asthmatic and she is undergoing a maintenance medication that is quiet expensive. Good thing, we have discount cards available to make our medicine purchases affordable but often times it can’t be used with other prescriptions.

If you don’t have enough drug coverage, you can apply for a membership on Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. For $10 a year***, you can enjoy the benefits of a family membership which covers everyone in your immediate family. This includes your spouse and dependents of 22 and younger pets. Individuals may also join for only $5*** a year.

Other benefits include savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medications; discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies. You can also receive bonuses when you purchase Walgreens and Nice! brand products and photofinishing services. These are wonderful privileges especially that most of our medications are not included in our insurance coverage and this will enable you to save a lot of money.

If you are interested on this, you can visit Walgreens on Facebook and like their page. You can also follow Walgreens on Twitter for the latest updates.

Floods. More Fun in the Philippines?

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:33:00 +0000

I saw this photo in Facebook and I find it not funny, most of all not fun. How can a flood be fun? Can you call it fun when you lost everything you have because of the flood? Can you call it fun when your loved ones died because of it.Whoever made this photo which I think intends to make fun, please be sensitive enough for those people especially in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City who suffered so much because of the flood.

Keeping My Hands Off My Face

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:21:00 +0000

I easily get a cold these days and I don't know why. I think it must be due to the dust from our house renovation activity. However, I have read an article about Common Cold, I have learned that one of the major reasons of getting a cold is sleep deprivation and chronic stress. I don't know if I am stressed but truthfully I often sleep late at night. Another major reason is why we get a cold is through our hands. If we shake hands with someone who has a cold, we need to wash our hands or use a hand sanitiser. The hands are the conveyor of cold viruses, and the nose and our eyes are the major portals of entry into our body. So, the best thing to do in order not to get a cold virus is to keep your hands off your face.

What's Wrong With My Internet Connection?

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:08:00 +0000

A few days ago, my internet provider's server was broken. I have no internet connection for almost a week. Good thing, it was back after I called them. However, instead of getting 1 Mbps internet connection, I only got around 100 to 300 Kbps. There some things I can't do online because of the slow connection. I called my provider about this and everyday it seems like they can't find a way to solve the problem. I will call again tomorrow and hoping my internet connection will be fixed soon.

I Need A New Screen!

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:45:00 +0000

I'm currently working on completing a house plan. Because of too much details in the plan, I wanted to buy a new computer LCD screen to make my work easier. I've found an affordable screen in one of our local computer shops but my wife reminded me about our finances. We still have other priorities and buying a new computer monitor is not yet our priority. So for now, I will have to wait for the right time and hopefully next month I can buy a new computer monitor.

Party in the USA!

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:30:00 +0000

I am not talking about Miley Cyrus' famous song but I am talking about my friends and relatives in the USA. I saw their photos on Facebook and I find their lifestyle to be different now compared to they were still here in the Philippines. They are now outgoing and fun loving people. They now love to party with some friends as their way of releasing stress after a long day work. I find them enjoying their time with friends seeing those big grins on their photos.

My friends in New York never fail to share their night life adventures. I don't know how it feels to experience nightlife in New York City, but as far as I can see on movies I find it very entertaining and exciting especially that it is known to be the city that never sleeps. Beautiful lights and nice scenes are one of the things that welcomes everyone in that famous city. Aside from New York, some of them have tried to visit Chicago night clubs or Boston night clubs because their colleagues have invited them. It was fun for them. I'm sure their night life adventure is totally different in the Philippines. Their adventure might be full of nice lights, exhilarating sounds, wonderful people but I'm sure they will eventually miss our time and laughter together here in the Philippines.

Anyway, I hope we can have time to meet again and enjoy each others presence. If I am given the chance to travel to USA, if will surely grab it so I can meet my friends and my relatives. It will be a good opportunity to party with them and allow myself to experience how it feels to party in the USA. Hmmmm... this sounds exciting! I hope one of these days I will have the opportunity to go to USA and have fun!!!

What's on Your Mind?

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:20:00 +0000

Many people today are into Facebook. Everyone enjoys its apps, chat features and most of all posting something on their wall... that means to say answering the question "What's on your mind". For some people, they share about their recent accomplishments and other shares some jokes which is quiet funny. But one thing that I don't like to see in each one's status is posting something which is very unlikely. One is posting some offensive photos and hate words. Other post about their problems and some post about some rants. Everyone is given the freedom to post but I find it not encouraging if you post something not good on you FB status. Before posting anything on your status or in your wall, think about it many, many times so you wont regret what you post on it.

Walgreens Cold Severe Multi-Symptom Caplets Daytime: Ever Been So Reliable

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:56:00 +0000

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I arrived home wet last night; I forgot to bring my umbrella and rain caught me while I was walking home. I knew I had to do something fast the moment I went inside the house because I am prone to getting colds whenever I get wet from rain. I took off my wet jacket, took off my wet shoes and socks, toweled off my wet hair, and immediately changed into dry clothes. I then went into the kitchen to fix myself a hot cup of hot choco. After watching my favorite TV show, I went to bed thinking I was safe, from colds, that is.Too bad! The moment I opened my eyes the following morning, my throat was sore, I had a headache, and my body felt heavy I did not want to get out of bed. I remembered the rain and how wet I was last night; I knew I had to stay in bed and get some rest if I wanted to get back on my feet the fastest.Wanting to get rid of the headache and the cold and the bodily aches as fast as possible, I went to my medicine cabinet to get my ever reliable cold medicine: Walgreens Cold Severe Multi-Symptom Caplets Daytime. I’ve always kept a bottle in my cabinet knowing that it comes very handy when cough, cold, headaches, and even fever knocks on the door. This cold medicine has been a great help for me, most especially because it’s non-drowsy and I can always take it during daytime. This has been highly recommended to me by a Wallgreens Pharmacist a few years back, and true to his word, up until now, this medicine works like magic for my colds and headache and bodily aches and pains. It’s also affordable and available over the counter, so it’s no hassle for customers like me.

Rainy Days

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:46:00 +0000

The weather these days is unpredictable. This morning is too hot, while it will suddenly rain in the afternoon. I took this photo while driving on a rainy afternoon.

My Dream Cars

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 16:30:00 +0000

I have always dreamt of one day owning my own brand new car. If and when that time comes, these are the cars that I would most likely buy:

Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Honda Civic.

You may be curious as to why I have chosen these particular four cars over the hundreds of other car models from the numerous car manufacturers in the industry today. My response would be simple: more that the fact that I love the features and parts of these cars, I have looked into the possible “weak” points of these cars through websites. Reading through all the customer feedback from the website, I am assured that should I experience any problem with the car, finding the remedy or solution would not be a problem. I strongly believe that the hardest thing a car owner can experience would be finding his car in trouble and not being able to get a resolution to the problem from authorized repair shops or service centers

Yummy Sunday

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 14:43:00 +0000

Pizza for the family!

Every Sunday, we usually have our family day out. We spend the Sunday afternoon, at Oro Gardens visiting my father's grave. But most of us are now busy with our own schedules, so we no longer have this Sunday get together. I miss going out with my family during Sundays.

Anyway, this pizza from Greenwich tastes really good.

Drug Addiction and Treatment

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Fri, 06 May 2011 14:16:00 +0000

It is a sad thing to know that more and more individuals today has been involved in drug addiction. People who are addicted always has an overwhelming feeling of the need for drugs or alcohol despite facing negative consequences. This is very hard to stop because the brain has been affected and the individual doesn't have the ability to think clearly and control their behavior.

As the individual suffers from these negative consequences, it is very important to provide them the help that they need. Good thing, there are a lot of ways we can help them. One of the proven Drug treatment or Addiction treatment is bringing the person to a Drug Rehab.

A drug rehab is one good opportunity for the individual to be assessed about his addiction. It is also very important to bring them to an institution that provides the most advanced techniques in dealing with the person’s addiction. Not only that, the person must be helped in a holistic manner wherein the person will be treated not only in his mind and body but his spirit as well. I believe that real change in the person comes from the change that happens inside of him.

Spam Comments

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Thu, 05 May 2011 14:12:00 +0000

Good thing, I have moderated my comments so I got to check them one by one. If I find one a spam then I will have to say goodbye from those and delete it.

Word-Filled Wednesday: Psalm 1

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 04:22:00 +0000

Hello everyone, my entry for WFW is the verses of Psalm 1. Hope you will be blessed with these verses.

1 Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

or sit in the company of mockers,

2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,

and who meditates on his law day and night.

3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither—

whatever they do prospers.

4 Not so the wicked!

They are like chaff

that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Have a blessed and Word-Filled Wednesday!

Earning Money Online

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 03:29:00 +0000

I never knew that I could earn money online until my wife started earning through her blog. She started it 3 year ago and I can say that her earning has helped us augment our daily expenses at home. Since, I am now convinced with the money that she get with her blogs I also joined her and make up my own blog. Actually, she made this one for me so I can start with my own blog. Through enough I also enjoyed the blessings of blogging.

Last year, I also joined my wife in an article writing venture where we will have to write buying guides in a shopping site. We earned a lot from their but the project ended so soon. I wish to find another opportunity like that. As of this moment, while I still have nothing to write, I wish to avail myself in ppc management or pay per click opportunities online. This is also a great opportunity to earn because you don't have to thing about what to write but you will just have to use your computer mouse and get it working.

There are a lot of ways in which you earn money online. All you have to do is to be diligent in exploring it and make the most out of it.

Christmas Lights

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:23:00 +0000

One of the most exciting events that I love is the Christmas season. I like it because it is the time of the year where people decorate their house with different colors of Christmas lights. Shopping malls and other establishments are also filled with colorful outdoor lighting and other Christmas lanterns.

In our house we usually have a simple decoration and that includes Christmas lights as well. We put outdoor hanging lights on our mango tree and added it with colorful Christmas decorations. When the lights are on, the lights look colorful on the tree. Our neighbors who passed by would always complement our decoration. Children on the other hand keep on coming and sing Christmas tunes. While they sing, their eyes were on the beautiful hanging lights. The flush mount ceiling lights outdoors on our balcony adds beauty to our Christmas decoration.

I know it’s too early for me to be talking about Christmas but times flies so fast these days. In just a matter of days, you won’t notice that it’s already Christmas season. For this year’s Christmas celebration, I am hoping for a more joyful family celebration and I hope I can think of a nice décor that is different from the one we had last year.

Ringing...

noreply@blogger.com (Tony) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:59:00 +0000

I'm not talking about our telephone nor my cellphone. I'm talking about my ears. It's ringing and it's a bit disturbing. I have consulted this to the doctor and he told me that it has something to do with my sinusitis. He also told me that it might somewhat stress related. Well, I hope I can sleep well tonight...
