Huawei p10 Lite

Image
Hello readers, so i am back. Despite my full schedule of school/stage from Monday thru Friday and work on Saturday and Sunday I still manage to hold my smartphone and update my blog. So since arriving Canada 8-months ago, I have been so busy, schedule are filled plus being a mommy and wife. I don't complain, I can't complain this is the life I imagine when I was still in the Philippines. Anyway, fast forward I don't want to bore you guys. I got this new model smartphone for my birthday last month. This is Huawei P10 lite, on the other hand, this model is fairly new, came out of the market at April 2017, it's not even available in Canada yet. Long story short, I have been trying to figure out how to put my second simcard into it since this is dual simcard phone, it's just doesn't work with 2-nano sims and micro SD at the same time.  I have been trying to watch YouTube but no luck because people just posted video of him installing the simcard? I mean really??? Who...

Canadian Living

Image
Hello  readers,I'm back. Sorry folks I have been occupied since I move here in Canada. This blog is all about my moving here,the process,the long wait and the changes in my life in general. Finally move here last fall Sept 12, 2016. It was a long wait for my immigration papers to be done,it took me and my husband 15-long months of waiting. Finally,my family and I had successfully moved in here. Me as Filipina,have a lot to adjust, weather, environment,life changes. Luckily,my family here(my husband's) accepted me with all the love,from my mother in-law and everyone embrace me with no questions. Accepted me with wide arms and open heart.       My first fall was exceptionally gorgeous,leaves changes into few different colours. I had my first winter, I love snow, just gorgeous, my first snow fall was November the 20th(EST). And now, I am enjoying my first spring, the only annoying part is that I on the other hand have a black flies allergy, every time they go...

The Jungle Book Movie

Image
   WARNING! Some parts of the article may contains Spoilers .       Exactly a week ago(Monday April 25th,2016) my husband and I visited my family at the country. We came home with my (2)nieces and (1)nephew. We then treated them to watch movie with our 3year old son 'THE JUNGLE BOOK' since we believed it was a Kids movie.        After a while of watching there are some parts the are really scary, by the King Monkey parts where he was chasing Mowgli to do work for him to get the one called 'red flower'. My two nieces ,nephew and son are unbelievably quiet but I can feel my son's chest pumping and jumping on that part of the movie. Also, for some reason there are some parts of the movie that are really,really dark. I mean you can't see anything, it seems that we are watching a movie from a 'cam video'.         (IMDB photo)    Overall, my nieces, nephew and son are having a great time,most especially to my...

Voonga Shop-Gaisano Mactan Island Mall

Image
    Yesterday, my son and I visited at my Auntie's canteen. Since her canteen is 500meters away from the said mall, i decided to pay a visit and it happens that my sister who was working for my Auntie asked me to buy her a phone, of course she gave me the money a budget for buying the phone. She hand me two-500hundred bills and a (1)one thousand. I have a total of 2,000php bills with me in cash. I decided to shop first for my son and chooses 'Voonga Shop'at lower ground floor, Gaisano Mactan Island Mall,right at the back of Immigration Office.      When we were inside (me&son) i caught with two v-neck shirts and bought two for 200.00php. Plus a cute 'tiger bag' for my son. I billed of 370.00 and I hand her a 500peso bill from my sister's money since thats the easiest cash to get(it was on my short's pocket). The cashier then hand me a change of 130.00 and then asked me if i have any other bill, of course i said yes. I asked her whats wrong with the other...

Withdrawing PayPal funds thru BPI-bank account.

Image
    So,when i was on vacation somebody broke in the house we rented and stole my bag, wallet(contains my ID's and Bank cards). Including my EON-Unionbank card. Which i used to link my paypal with, EON has no bank deduction every paypal transactions. Except a 350.00php charge annually. So,when my bank cards was stolen, i decided not to renew my EON card since i have to pay a 350php to get a new card and for an annual fee which doesn't make sense and I obviously don't want to waste my 350 pesos by getting an EON. I ended up deciding to get a replacement BPI card instead. The funny thing was that, it was a reported stolen card, but surprisingly i 'need' to pay a 100php for the card? Why BPI? As if its my free will to call that thief to steal my card so that I can ask BPI a new card? Bank in the Philippines is ridiculously funny.      After weighing things on which is which of my cards I should get a new card with, i ended up choosing BPI, since it is no maintaining...

Single Parenting

    Being a single parent is probably the toughest, hardest job and most terrifying one. It is not easy to raise a single child,how much more raising more than one? and also a career woman at the same time. Most especially abroad.      I am no single parent, BUT my Mama Virgie and Mom in law are. Mama Virgie raised a total of six(6)children since she married my widower father on year 1994. We are so poor,we live thru farming and selling whatever we have at the farm. I myself carried a 15/20klgs of corn mill of at least 500meters(I was at least 11-12years old).Before my father died, he was working at the city as a construction worker,so that left Mama Virgie single parent already since my Dad only came home every weekends(Sat-Sunday). We cannot really rely on farming since sometimes,we won't have enough harvest for a selling and or cash from the farm since the farm we are working were Mama Virgie's parents. I have four brothers, when they were teenage...
