Internet Troubles

Have you ever experience loosing your internet connection while you are on the act of saving a post (that you have been writing and tinkering with the whole day)? If you do, well, I am telling you, you are not the only one. That happened to me more than a dozen times already and all I can do is sigh and grind my teeth in frustration. Aside from the horror of those unsaved post, my internet provider also has this habit of serving erratic connections just when I need it most, sometimes my connection go to the extreme, to the point that I can't even open my own blog or my e-mail or Facebook, that's how bad their service is.

I was randomly typing keywords when I chanced upon an internet provider that has wild blue high speed internet, which has great specifications in a very affordable price. I was drooling (figuratively, of course), just thinking of the specs and unlimited service that satellite internet can give me. The fear of loosing an article that took hours and a lot of sweat to make, the fear of loosing connection while talking to an old friend which you just so happen to find in Facebook or Friendster, and the fear of going home without the internet connection that you really, really need will just be a part of history. All the nightmares, misery and disillusionment will soon be a thing of the past, you gotta love that!

La Vache qui rit

Una sa lahat, ang hirap sabihin ng name nito ha, nakakawindang, hehe!

This is my husband's favorite, he eat this as is (pinapapak lang) or with bread (palaman), I think that's the reason why his father brought home loads of these goodies when he came from Dubai, he visited his brother last November and when he got back the next month, an entire box (bagahe) was full of cheese. We didn't laugh in front of him because we might offend him but we did laugh out loud when hubby and me were alone, imagine the trouble his father had gone through to brought home La Vache qui rit when you can easily buy it in the supermarkets, medyo mahal nga lang, hehe. Not that we don't appreciate it, because believe it or not, we do, we just find it a little funny.




If you're gonna ask me, it is best eaten with pandesal, promise! Lalo na kapag mainit pa yung pandesal kasi parang nagme-melt ung cheese at umiinit na din. Soft cheese na sya di ba pero kapag nasa pandesal na, parang mas soft pa sya, hahaha, don't mind me, nagmamadali lang kasi ako kasi manonood pa kami ng parada.

Happy Fiesta nga pala sa mga taga-San Roque!

True Blue Rodeo

I heard in the news last night that there's a rodeo here in Malabon, I don't exactly know where as the news wasn't exactly focused on the event but on those PETA warriors whose life revolve around commenting about animal welfare and heading demonstrations, I am not pro-animal cruelty but I do think that PETA is overacting most of the time. It's just my two cents, I don't wanna start a fight or debate or anything in between *grins*.

I haven't seen a real rodeo, I have watched snippets in TV and movies but I haven't actually witness a live event, it isn't exactly a popular sports here in the metro, most of the rodeos happen only in provinces which are, sad to say, super far from where I am, so imagine my surprise when I found out that there's a traveling rodeo show here in our city, finally, a chance to see a battle of brawn between man and animal. I would have resorted to begging if necessary just to be able to go, fortunately, my hubby understood and promised that he'll ask around for the exact location. Happy me!

It would be nice, if we have those extravagant rodeo shows like that of Houston, where ticketed seats are available around the arena and an explosive concert will surely follow after the rodeo so it's like hitting two birds in one stone, a rodeo show and a music concert in one, ain't that nice? I wonder if Houston Rodeo tickets are still available at the moment, gawd, how I wish I live near that area so I can watch a real bull-touting rodeo, I bet it will make my heart jump in shock and excitement. I checked out the ticket prices and the list of artists who will perform in the after-party concerts, the tickets are all reasonable but if you're gonna go and see the rodeo, I suggest you get the ones in the front row to see the real action clearly, I knew I would, and I saw that Rascal Flatts is one of the performers, it would be nice to listen to their music after a heart-pounding rodeo event. Phew, what would I give to see such a show...

Marty's Cracklin'

I only blog when I'm finished with my household chores or when my son is asleep or when I can't sleep at night, but there are times that I am in the mood to blog or I really need to blog but slumber is almost taking over, and during times like that, my blogging buddy has my back. I used to depend on gummy worms, gummy colas and gummy bears to do that job but since Marty's Cracklings came into existence, my strong faith in gummy candies taper a bit, first Marty's seems to be available in every nook and corner while I have to go to the grocery store to purchase gummy candies, second, I almost always get these treats for free as my husband and mother loves them, too *grins*.


Marty's Cracklin' comes in two flavors - plain salted and salt & vinegar flavor, it also comes in regular-size and big party packs. I think, the small ones cost 5 pesos and the big ones (photo above) cost 20.
