We tend to mismanage our finances at one point and we woke up one day we are already in deep trouble. But as we usually say if there’s a problem there’s a solution. One possible and effective solution is to check the available debt consolidation loans that will fit to our needs and match our capabilities. Having multiple loans is really a nightmare. Different deadlines to beat and high interest yields.

A credit card debt is one type of debts that many of us are into. Those ballooning outstanding balances in our statements of account are for sure one thing we don’t want to see but we need to deal with and pay. A late payment will yield to another interest and that interest will form part of our balance too. Paying the minimum payment for credit cards with big balances is not ideal because our payment will only be eaten by the high interest rate. An ideal solution could be a balance transfer that yields an interest lower than our cards or a consolidation loan to answer for everything. We need to look for a loan that will give us a much reasonable interest rate, single due date and payment and moreover stops our balances from ballooning.

Basi is a kind of wine made from sugar cane produced in Ilocos Norte and abundant particularly in Naguilian. In the objective of promoting “Basi,” an annual celebration called Basi Festival is being held every first week of May in Naguilian, La Union. They called strong basi as “basi lalaki” and “basi babae” for weak basi. The festival is highlighted with street dancing, sports events, agri-trade fair and other amusement games.

How Basi is being made? The first step is for the freshly extracted sugar cane juice to be then boiled in vats and stored in earthen jars. After cooling, flavorings will be added which are made of ground glutinous rice and duhat (java plum) bark or other fruits or barks. To start the fermentation, a certain dried powdered starter is being used. Then that mixture will be left for 3 months to ferment and up to one year to age. The final product is light brown in color and it has a sweet and sour taste.

Did you know that Basi plays an important role in the life of Ilocanos?

• The basi is used as an unwinder in stores and at home.
• It is sometimes given to carolers
• A special basi is brought to the house of a girl during a pamamanhikan, a practice where the family of a boy goes to the house of a girl to ask for her hands before doing the wedding plans.
• It is used to fortify oneself when called upon to recite an extemporaneous poem, for love or for the dead.
• A special kind is served during wedding. The couple will take the first sip and then it goes around persuading their ninongs and ninangs to drink and give cash and gifts.
• It is used during the washing day, after a burial, where all the relatives and family of the deceased washes bedclothes and cloths used in the house. Later, the family undergoes a rite where the officiator makes a cross on their foreheads with basi.

The family did not go home immediately. We went in a computer school to buy a new printer to replace our troubled EPSON Stylus C20SX, hehehe. After some canvassing made we decided to buy the CANON Pimax iP1980. Since we had a multi-functional Brother we bought this one for printing purposes only. The printing procedure is very easy and they have great promo on the warranty. It costs Php2,195.00 with inks (black & colored) already. Right after that we went home coz we’re all tired already.
The host told us to get anything that starts with letter “P” (tagalog or English word). As you can see, I almost searched and exposed all the things in my bag to search for the items. Fortunately with the help of my kids, sisters, niece and nephews I got 14 items that starts with letter “P” and I won the game. See video here.
