Everyday with Beej

A typhoon recently hit our place causing flood water to rise up to more than one meter deep. All our clothes and home appliances were submerged in water, including our car. The flood left the car filthy and with a lot of things to be fixed. It made me wonder what we can do to our used cars">. We thought of selling the old car, and buy another car. It does not have to be new car, but something than will be working well and bring us places. We found a website where we can search for the car that we want and can also help us financially in the payment schemes. And I love the internet for it.

Finally done assembling my Stitch It from Simple Shoes. Bought it on sale because I couldn't resist buying when shoes are on sale.

This is my version, how it looks like after stitching it together.

There are only two seasons in the Philippines – wet and dry season. Wet season is rainy season. It usually starts by June and ends at around October or sometimes extends until November. The dry season comes when it isn’t raining. Dry season temperature here in the Philippines range from 25 degrees to a high of 33 degrees Celsius.

Weather in Arizona is a little bit like the weather in the Philippines, only it goes quite a bit hotter. Their temperature ranges from 27 degrees to 38 degrees Celsius and it is humid like the Philippines. That’s why there are a lot of resorts and vacation clubs in Arizona. Scottsdale real estate is a good website that can help you find beautiful properties in Arizona. Another beautiful place in Arizona is White Mountain Vacation Club.

Benj is in Mongolia, he will be there for one week. Hmm.. What are the good stuffs to buy from there?

Mongolian cashmere. 100% cashmere is really expensive in the US. Maybe he can get some at half the price? *crossing fingers*

Kazakh bag. Kazakh is traditional Mongolian embroidery. I hope Benj can find me a nice kazakh bag.

Nowadays, the internet is the source of a lot of information. We can find almost anything in the web from transcripts to video and music sources. However, finding the right material is not as easy as it looks. One of the key items is to use the right search engine.

Rapidshare Search Engine is a very intuitive search engine that was developed through the request of the users. The link base is always updated and it has a very simple design. The tags on the home page is very useful in searching specially the commonly searched topics over the internet.

I just had a bad experience with Bread Talk (Glorietta 4, Philippines) that I want to share with everybody.

I just bought a Hot Chick and a Strawberry Rocky from your G4 branch at 12:34 pm today. When I was to eat my Hot Chick I saw black particles on the bottom part of the bread. It seems that the bread was dropped on the floor, picked up quickly and was still brought out to be sold.

I wasn't expecting that kind of quality from the products you are selling. I've been buying Hot Chick and other products similar to it (Floss, Fire Floss, etc.) and have never gotten the poor quality of product I received this afternoon, not to mention spoiling my lunch.

I will be looking forward to your response and action on this complaint.

I may be contacted through this email address or at 09xx-xxxxxxx.

Unsatisfied customer,

Pardon the photos, I used a low-end camera phone.

We haven’t got cable or satellite tv here at home and I miss watching good TV. I envy people in Pennsylvania for having free Satellite TV for Pennsylvania. With Directv there will be no equipments to buy, no installation needed, free DVR upgrades, free dish home protection plans, and lifetime equipment warranty.

To help residents to decide what to get, here is a comparison of Directv vs. Dish. Directv packages come with one free satellite dish, up to four free receivers including remote controls, free installation, over 256 channels including local networks. The DISH Network includes free installation to up four rooms, lifetime warranty, and guaranteed 100% digital quality.

Many options to choose from, I wish I could have it at home too.

He died this morning. Dad saw him lifeless at around 8:15. Mom said he hasn't been standing since Sunday. He probably felt really sick already. He barely moved since that day. I last stopped by his cage last Sunday, called him, and only his sad brown eyes looked at me. Should've known it was a sign. Should've stopped by his cage every morning for his last few days. I was in a hurry this morning I didn't even glance. I will miss Stanley, I miss him already.

Stanley is a rottweiler. A loving, playful, and sweet rott.

I am a beach bum. I can go to the beach anytime and anywhere. I have travelled to quite a number of beaches here in the Philippines, but none abroad. I wonder if other beaches are as beautiful as ours.

I am dreaming of seeing the beaches in Europe. I want to go on a holiday in Portugal and see their beaches. I want to try swimming at the Atlantic Ocean.  I wonder how the beach in Porto Santo Island compares to Boracay?

I will definitely be needed a cheap car hire Portugal to go around.  If and when I get there, I think I want to stay in Hotel Sao Jose. It looks good in the pictures!

It's funny how Alexa blame parts of her body when she does something wrong. It's her hands this time.

Alexa: Mom, she pushed me!
Nicole: Why did you push her?
Alexa: It's not me mom, it's my hand. They're forcing me to do it.

O di ba?

Imagine getting a busted car air conditioning in the middle of summer. On the way to the beach, during the long drive, and in the middle of traffic, the car air conditioning got busted. We can’t wait to get to the beach immediately because of the heat! Good thing, summer just ended here in the Philippines.

Since then, we learned our lesson. We always have the car checked before any long travel. We had the car repaired and gave it a diesel turbocharger. The car was in tip top shape and the air conditioning fail anymore. We now enjoy our long drive and trip from start to finish.

We had the first sight of sunshine after 7 days of rain. I hope it doesn't rain again soon.

Some more Alexa antics.

For some reason, Alexa loves cleaning the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. Not her kalat, not her toys, but the bathroom.

She once, cleaned the bathroom sink using toilet paper and Bath and Body liquid soap. Magastos! And she voluntarily cleaned their toothbrushes by soaking them in soapy water. How much cleaner can you get?! Hehe.
