Fab and Practical

daily doze of iced coffee

admin — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:08:20 +0000

Coffee drinking has been a part of most, if not everyone’s daily routine, office meetings, and friend bondings. Living in a tropical country like the Philippines where its generally warm and humid, drinking traditional hot coffee aint refreshing at all.

Frap’s and iced coffees became best sellers on mushroom popping coffee shops like Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Gloria Jeans, and more. Coffee drinking elevated from P5.00 per mug breakfast drink tandem with P1.00 pandesal, to P150.00 grande cup with P100 strawberry waffle.

I know how yummy and refreshing it is to drink frapuccino.. and I do order lots my self. However, this cup ISNT practical to take daily. Imagine, if you order 5 grande cups of frap in a week @ P150/each.. in a week, you’ll spend P750.. and in a month, you’ll spend P3,000 for coffee. I tell you, its TOO MUCH for a drink.

So how do we enjoy iced coffee for less? let me tell you my secret.. i buy this on coffee breaks:

I walk to Mini Stop or 711 whenever i crave for an instant iced coffee. Among the 4 flavors, Latte is my favorite. I tell you, it tastes good! And compared to a P150 frap, this can of drink is only @ P32.00. Not bad at all.

… and on some occasions, i still drink my white chocolate dream from Coffee Bean, and Fraps from Starbucks.

In memory of moby

admin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 07:08:55 +0000

Sunshine (other lovebird), was going light.. she’s getting weaker and lighter each day. And so i thought that i should separate her and give her better attention. That’s when i decided to switch moby and sunshine’s place. And so sunshine is alone on Moby’s cage.. and Moby is with 3 other birds on the other cage.

Yesterday was moby’s first attempt to mingle with other lovebirds on a cage. Believing in her strength, I moved her to a new cage with 3 other birds. She’s been alone on a cage since her early days.

This morning, i saw moby bleeding and A LOT of her feathers were plucked off. She was very very light and weak. She cant even move or walk or fly. The other birds on the cage attacked her.

After a couple of hours of “force-feeding” her, and giving meds.. she didnt make it.. she died on my hands.

On her last few hours, she never wanted to leave my side. I tried to move her a couple of times to a comfortable place to rest, yet she forces her weak body to move right next to me.. and closes her eyes to rest.

Moby

2007-2008

to the smartest, and sweetest lovebird i know… to my dear baby moby, i’ll miss you

I’m a Lovebird OB Gyne

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:35:01 +0000

I was in the aviary last Saturday — visiting, and checking our pets condition. We have over a hundred birds - couples, chicks, and singles looking for their pair.

That Saturday wasn’t an ordinary day at the aviary..

But first, let me tell you the background of the story. A lovebird pair has 5 or 6 fertile eggs - and its a lot! Its more than an average pair can handle - very risky. So what we did (as we always do), we moved the egg to a new nest, new parents. So we placed the egg beside the real eggs of the foster parent. It was ok.. but not until saturday.

The foster parent cracked the egg! We observed it for 5 hours, and nothing changed - still the same partly-cracked egg. To save the chick’s life, we have to get her off the shell.

Its very tiny — same size of my thumb nail. I had to carefully take her off the shell. To appreciate it better, here’s the video:

welcome to my room

admin — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 04:09:51 +0000

I had a “general cleaning”. I spent almost a whole day wiping, sweeping, and moving the furniture’s around. Definitely, it was tiring.. yet, its worth it

I’d like you to meet my new roommate, ANNIE. She (or he) is a lutino african lovebird. I’ll blog more about her soon..

Anyway, welcome to my room. This is practically where I spend my whole day, everyday. This is where I work, sleep, eat, and do-nothing.. I’m sure, work-at-home employees understand me fully well.

It helps to have a clean and comfortable room to keep my sanity intact, especially that Im here almost all the time

family conference

admin — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:23:08 +0000

For 2 consecutive days, we had our “family conference”. I caught my brother, kuya ric, online (he is currently in Washington DC). He rarely goes online because of his busy sched in the hospital. So when i saw his yahoo icon up, i immediately messaged him, and called the rest of our folks. We were all in our individual houses, thats why I had to call them one by one just so they’d log in.

We chatted hours of non-sense talking. It was funny because their children, and our pets are part of the session. We were all on webcam (except for kuya art) and voice conference. It was loud and cartoony.

I miss them. I miss how we were when we’re still living in one house.

I got the coolest folks in the world

me and my various careers

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 06:47:34 +0000

I have lots of work of many kinds. I do SEO and PPC (as my full-time employment, and other consultancy jobs on the side), I host and coordinate weddings, i sell and breed lovebirds, and my most recent job? a real estate broker!

Originally, my objective was just to help (and be a good companion) of this friend broker *laughing inside*. From there, i learned about different condos and properties in prime areas in Metro Manila, I learned the processes involved in this hard and tricky industry.

As I learn more about this industry, I tried to merge Real Estate with my SEO skills. That’s when I started ManilaCondo.Info. We got a couple of inquiries for rental, sale, and property investments from this site (which is good)

Now, I got another step forward. I closed my first ever real estate sale! yey! I sold a 40.5sqm studio-type condo, in Manhattan Parkview Tower 2, in Manhattan Garden City. I’m now an official, accredited broker of Manhattan Garden City (developed by Megaworld Corporation).

Do you want to buy a condo in Manhattan Garden City and be my second sale? Its so easy to own a unit, the financial plan is just right for professionals and OFWs. Do you know why it’s easy?

0% downpayment
50% of the unit price is payable in 5 years (or 60 months) - 0% interest
The remaining 50% is payable upon turnover (which you need NOT pay in full, it can be paid thru bank financing or in-house financing)
No hidden charges

Email me or call me if you’re interested
