Add Joy to the Holidays with Holiday Greetings
Greetings are the best means to express your feelings. Where greeting cards express your feeling with the help of images and quotations and custom text, these also are an excellent means to be present with someone even if you are away from him or her. It is also the best means to convey your emotions and make aware the other persons how you feel about him or her. Holiday greetings are also in vogue these days following Christmas holidays.
Greetings have though evolved over a period of time and now people have started preferring online greetings rather than paper greeting. Where paper greetings were popular in the past years, there is a sudden shower of online greetings options these days. The greatest advantage about online greetings is that it can be customized at will of the presenter. A person can customize the greetings with respect to the overall theme, size, cover image as well as the text inside the greeting. Besides, the online greetings also gives you the advantage to send it on a designated date or time, so it is like you can customize a greeting and the online greetings provider will make sure that it is delivered to your friend or the loved one on the required date eve if your forget to send it.
Apart from this the online holiday greetings gives you the advantage that you can order a greeting by choosing from a range of greetings available online and the greeting will be delivered giving a surprise to the recipient. So order one today.
Christmas season is here! While it means exultation, festivity and merrymaking to everyone, to some extent it can be mean an obligation too. Saving money for holidays is a tough challenge for anyone. No matter how tight the budget is, people will still find their way out to the malls and even to some signature stores to look for something special they could present as gift to their loved ones.
Before you even race out to the stores, you may want to consider this few reasonable spending tips in going out for holiday shopping:
Know your limitations...
First create a budget. This will help you keep track of your spendings.
Make a list. Think of what to buy for each person on your gift list before you shop.
Say NO to credit cards. Credit card bills are easy to use but hard to pay off. Think of Debt elimination as a rewarding thing at the end of this event.
Be Creative...
Cookies, candy, cakes... who doesn't love homemade treats? If baking from scratch isn't your cup of tea, you can buy refrigerated rolls of cookie dough and dressed them up however you want it. However, half the fun of giving gift is the wrapping. instead of spending for a bundle of expensive gift wrap and bows, why not just use what you have. Magazines, construction papers, stamps and markers are of best help.
Lastly, know where to shop...
Say hello to discount stores. They carry out big sales and great buys for the last season. While online shopping too can often save time and money.
The holidays are a time of celebration and rejoicing, not the time of counting how much money you spend. Remember to stay focused on what is important and that there is always a way to save money.
Have fun and have a happy and safe shopping!

I have read an interesting article where a noted financial author says that debt is not the problem... It is a symptom. A symptom of overspending and under saving... it's a clear-cut and I think I agree to that. Although there are plenty of reasons when it comes to people getting in debt, the "spend more than you make" part makes it pretty obvious. Just why we people are too eager to spend more than what we make?
Who don't?
A female who's in love with fashion can't stop buying new trendy clothes. Hippy people can't help staring at the new, sophisticated phone models on the rock. Get to buy this and that... swipe here and there...and not to mention the unforeseen expenses. Every person's "debt issue" is different.
While people are up to their eyeballs in debt, Debt management companies also becomes one of the fastest growing industries and are springing up everywhere. These companies helps you manage your debt through debt consolidation that helps you lower your monthly bills, avoid creditor's harassment calls & one easy payment for your bills. But beware of fraud... they are also everywhere. Find the best company that you know would consolidate your bill successfully and start getting your way out of debt now.

The use of mobile phone for communication is getting more and more extensive as the technology advances. While it is just merely known as a portable communication device with the same capability with that of a conventional fixed-line telephone before, nowadays, it is rapidly becoming an indispensable medium and already started functioning as more than just a communication device.
Without the phone, many of us would be quite lost in connecting with other people.The address book and contacts list on phones is our social interface. In strange places, they tell us where we are. And even in business industry, connecting to customers at anytime, anywhere is no longer an illusion.
Mobile marketing has become the most personal and effective approach of direct marketing. By installing it in your overall marketing strategy, you are making steps ahead while existing customers will mount to the next levels.This SMS marketing solution is applicable for both large and small companies.Through your own shortcodes, you can now effectively market your own products and promotions in a personalized, fast, flexible and competent manner.
Direct and one-on-one communication that stimulates a customer feedback, mobile text messages grab immediate attention and are more likely to be read than email sent to a PC, which can also be a victim of spam filter.
The never ending PR (Page Rank) issue among bloggers are everywhere. I remember a few months ago, I asked in one of the forum sites I joined... how a exactly a PR is gained? When I last checked the site, I got over 50 different responses from different people whom I actually don't know but are generous enough to share their intelligent opinions. But among those responses, the phrase"content is king" was what strikes me the most. Yesterday as I was visiting websites, I came across with it again. This made me ponder for a little while.
I have been blogging for over a year now... but I wonder if the entries I have posted in my blogs are of quality at all. Granting that PR is basically acquired through quality content then I must say I maybe at least have "some" of it cause as in early as three months this page has already been ranked 3 by Google. But like any other other pages that figure has its "high and off season" too... haha. I guess you know what I mean by that... But now that Google is repossessing my PR, does it literally implies low quality content too? What therefore comprises a quality content, if I may ask?
All I know is I have proved freedom of speech through blogging and I write as I feel and think as long as it is nothing offensive to the public or to anyone for that matter. I also would like to quote this concept from one writer/blogger that says:
"Good content will show the writers own personality and flavor in it. It will be interesting and very informative, if it's not what's the point of putting it online in the first place, nobody will benefit from it and it won't help you get more repeat visitors."
True enough! Pretty simple opinion but is rich and is worth contemplating!
Another self-revelation here... 8 Random Facts tag is making its way back here through the ever so thoughtful, Lynn. She knows I already have answered this tag before but like I told her I won't mind doing it again. Besides what is revealing 8 out of a hundreds of facts about my self? We're publicly publishing some personal opinions anyway, so I guess letting your readers learn a few things about you as an author of your articles won't hurt... so here we go...
1. I am a very impatient person. [Sshhh... no questions asked please... but comments are welcome, lol!]
2. I don't wear make ups too.. not when its necessary.
3. For 8 years now, I have kept a short birthday note from my mom in my wallet that stresses my prevailing attitude... "what Nancy wants, Nancy gets!" haha...talaga ba?!!
4. November 15, 2007 is marked a very significant month and year for me. This was where a new life, new hopes and dreams was molded after facing a life and death battle at the DMC OB-OR when I had my first ever major surgery.
5. I rock! Metallica, Aerosmith, Scorpions, and Led Zeppelin are among my favorite rock bands.
6. Strict and snob are people's most common impression towards me. (ang sama!)
7. Love cooking, discover and experimenting new dishes. This is one domestic chore I really miss doing since I moved here in Cebu.... hay!!! so :-(
8. Currently thinking of moving back to Davao... hopefully before Christmas :-)
By the way, thanks na rin to Dez for sharing me another wonderful friendshiptag. I just had it delivered to my friends from my other blog. Thank you so much, Mommy!!!
They say opportunity only knocks at your door once so grab it while you can... This is exactly what I was doing during the last few days. And if you scroll down a bit, you may realize what I am talking about. Well, you can't blame me for that. Can't afford to miss any of them... and if you're blog savvy you would know what I'm coming up with. Anyways, enough about it...
Last week my nieces have a had a Halloween break from school. But instead of enjoying and making the most out of the week long holiday both of them ended up getting sick. Bernadette got a high fever out of the blue then some burn-like spots developed all over her mouth from her lips, tongue and gums. MJ on the other hand has the fever too while the poor little baby has the cough & flu. She probably got it from her Mom who'd been suffering from hard cough. But among them Bernadette got the most worrying condition so before anything worst will happen we decided to run her to the nearest hospital. Nearest is up to the next town like 15-20 minutes ride. "Badian" was the name of the place and as people say it's a nice town with some beautiful spots. Next thing that came through my mind was my camera.
I didn't know that the place where the District Hospital is situated itself was the nice place they've been talking about. So after Bernadette was checked, we spent a few minutes walk around... While looking, I took out my camera and begin snapping...it was a nice place indeed!
Here are some of the pictures:
Along the road Badian District Hospital

was trying to look up from the web what the name of the Church was but their official website seems down... so if you happen to know, I would appreciate it.
Church's chantry
Badian Town Hall
there's me, Bernadette and MJ amidst the torrid weather
That's about it for the place but the picture taking didn't stop there... cause later during that day, as soon as we got home, the saga continues...lol! The setting is in my bedroom this time :-)
Me and Bernadette
(just please don't mind the mess by the corner, lol!)
the trio
Bernadette, MJ & baby Elija in Tita's bed
finally there's Me & MJ
For a couple of days was quite a difficult condition for Bernadette because she can hardly eat but thanks to God that her system is responding well to her medications. So as MJ. Actually both of them are officially back to school now.

A gloomy day out...
There's always a quick answer from me whenever someone asks me what do I want for a baby... "a girl". I say this based on my personal experience. I have two daughters and I never have had any problem picking up their styles when it comes to dresses and casual wears.
I don't have a son but I can still say choosing a suit for men is always a pain on the neck. I'm sure many women will agree on this. On some important occasions, I used to buy my dad's and brother's clothes and trust me, it'll take most of my shopping hours to find just a single pair of pants for each of them. It is also believed that made to order suits costs much so we more likely ended up buying most of their clothes from off the rock. But sometimes ready to wear suits just can't give you enough satisfaction of comfort. It's either,too loose or too tight and most often than not, the choice of fabric is of low quality.
Recently, I've discovered MySuitNY.com from the net. So what does this website do to have made me wish they were here during those times I need them the most?... Well, they simply do custom suit that costs no more than any one of the "off the rack" suits you currently have in your closet. They design made to measure suits according to your own taste, style and shape which will make you feel relaxed and comfortable when wearing it. And most importantly, it is worth the splurge. There's only three easy steps to do. Measuring, styling and fabric selection. You will be guided through each step of the process by a consultant and in just a matter of few questions and suggestions, you will get to have an absolutely comfortable and satisfying MySuit experience.
Too sad... my dad's no longer here... but I can still recommend it to my brother, though. He's not getting any younger and could have consider settling down with someone special to him in few years time... who knows, lol! And oh, I can highly recommend it to my boyfriend too..why not? We never know what's in store for us in the future... (LOL!) You too can make an appointment right off the web and start wearing a suit that never wears you!
I would like to address this post to Anneberly. This is in response to the comment she wrote on my post from this link.
Thank you Anne for your constant visit. This picture of me, my sister Thea along with her daughters is all I can find from my file and my 6 year old niece, Bernadette captured this pose for us just not so long ago. 
It really don't matter to me as to what other people has to say about us but hmm... I would still love to hear your personal judgement... LOL! By the way my sister is only 26 and I am 4 years older than her.
"You look younger than your actual younger sister."
"You don't look like your age."
Do I need to boast here? No... Not my point but these are common complements I received from people and to be quite honest, each time they do, it makes a good music to my ears.
I've been staying here in Cebu for nearly a year now but as I have mentioned in one of my posts here, I barely go out to socialize so I only make a few friends and most of them if not my neighbors are my younger sister's friends from where she used to work. The funny thing is, most of them think that my age is deceiving... I wish I could make them believe what my meaningful beauty secret is...
"Say it to your mind and believe!"
Beauty is not necessarily a certain look. It is more of an attitude.

The world's biggest economy, the world's strongest army, the media center of the world, the most powerful democracy and in many ways, the center of world diplomacy and foreign relations... These are the major elements that makes the United States of America the world's most powerful country.
But when you try to look around, different top stories of the US current economic condition are everywhere. The other day, I have read from the news about how the residents in some particular areas are greatly affected where some people has to sell their properties while the other opted to settle on smaller houses and apartments in order to maximize their finances.
In times like this, many ordinary consumers will rely on financial institutions where they can avail monetary aid in a form of quick loans to cope their financial dilemmas. That is why it is important for all the residents of the United States to have their credit scores checked. Poor credit score implies high interest loan approval and you don't need it, do you?
Know your score. An easy option of checking your credit scores are through sites which provide free and instant credit score checks. Residents are also entitled to get a free credit report from the three major credit bureaus in the US. So if you're planning to get a loan, better have your credit scores checked first.
Anyways, back to the issue. I wonder how really bad the US economy have gone. Is it really that shattering or is it just politically driven controversy. How bad is bad?

Unknown fact about me: I can hand sew like a pro, lol!
This question was asked from a tag I have recently answered and posted to my other blog here. If I have to answer it again I would rather say: I can write a single blog post for an hour or so.
Absurd, ain't it? And nobody knows about it until one day when I have to ask favor from JK to help me beat the same deadline for three paid reviews in a row. I assigned him one and obviously, he was able to finish his while I am still halfway working with my first task. He then asked, why does it have to take me hours to accomplish a single review. I really don't remember what I told him exactly but in case you guys may wonder, I have several reasons why I do not only on paid but on personal posts as well.
First off, I consider quality blog entries.This is not only to compensate the advertisers but to drive page views and returning visitors as well. Adding free blog images is another thing that takes my time. I have to make sure I am using relevant pictures to make my post appealing to my readers.
And lastly, I have to double check language rules cause even if blogging is a casual form of communication and requires no particular skills, we have to remember, we are still publishing publicly so whether we like it or not thorough-minded people will criticize.
Why do I think this way? Because I'm not perfect... yet I'm trying to be apt as I can!
Care to know how many hours it took me to finish this post?!!

It feels so compensating! I wanna thank Priyanka of Inkfruit.com for taking the time to read my post. It was my pleasure to do business with you, sir...
Thank you very much... 'till next time!

One of the highest sources of stress can be finances, particularly worrying about debt. According to study, stress is an alarm system designed to get you to recognize a threat to your survival. Worrying and stressing yourself to much over debt is putting your body in a constant state of alarm.
If you're in debt and currently trying to deal with debt-related stress, you are definitely far from being alone. Debt is a growing problem anywhere and everywhere. Many people are drowning with it. When not properly addressed, it may result to some serious health issues that would make the whole problem even more complicated. To cope with debt-related stress, here are three important things for you to ponder:
ACCEPTANCE- admitting the situation to yourself would more likely reduce the stress. Sometimes, just discussing your problems and concerns to your spouse or others whom you trust would help you put things into perspective and give you insights into ways to deal with them.
RELAX- breathe easy and compose yourself instead of feeling helpless and that the debt owns you, look up the other way around. Be positive and take control of the situation.
SEEK HELP- looking for assistance from financial experts won't hurt. They are there to provide vital information and advice on how to deal a certain financial condition and eventually will gather your mind together at ease. And most importantly,
HELP YOURSELF- eat right and don't let debt rule your mind!

Credit scoring brings a new level of fairness to the credit-granting process. It is a method that uses statistical standard to assess an individual's credit eligibility based on their credit history and current credit accounts.With your credit report in hand, you should have a careful look at it to be certain that it is not a bad credit report - meaning no billing errors or charges that are fraudulent or questionable. The widespread use of credit scoring such as the Credit Bureau Scores developed using the FICO score allows for speedy, objective analysis of credit histories. This means that borrowers who score well can get loan approval or credit almost instantly.
Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. These are the three major credit bureaus that works with FICO, though they do each have their own individual scoring methods. Equifax uses the Beacon Score system, TransUnion uses the Empirica system, and Experian has the Experian/Fair Isaac system. However, each of these individual systems are all based on the original FICO concept.In general, you are likely to be considered a better credit risk if your FICO score is high. Lenders usually check all 3 major credit bureaus before extending credit to an individual. That's why it's crucial to get a credit report from each of the 3 agencies in order to get an accurate view of what the lender sees about you. Check out TheCreditreportcenter.com for more information on how to get a free credit report in an instant!
WOW! I can't believe myself. It's been almost 4 hours when I was alone and by myself... sitting here and free all over to do anything online. I wanna make an update but I just can't think of something nice to write about. Arghhh! Four wasted hours of doing nothing other than blankly staring at my monitor.
What on earth is wrong with me?
Wearing eye glasses is one thing I am trying to so hard of avoiding before. I find it uncomfortable and a minus factor of one's natural beauty. Until such time that the thing I am so afraid of using became inevitable.First I was given this chance to choose between a conventional eye wear and the modern contact lenses and because I am really not a mindful person to take care of small pieces stuff like lenses, I opt to pick the conventional type where there's no way I can't notice that I'm wearing one. My first few weeks experience of wearing glasses was so unpleasant. I find it very disturbing although it worked for me eventually as I started wearing it in succession.
It feels more comfortable now and would you believe... I am even considering of collecting some stylish and trendy eyeglasses and guess where I wanted to get it from... at Zenni Optical! They are globally renowned in providing a very affordable yet high quality and stylish complete prescription eyeglasses.The secret of Zenni's low prices is that they only sell their own manufactured frames direct to the customer so we really don't have to worry on jacked up prices from any middlemen. I have been visiting their website and have eyed a few pairs of their sophisticated yet reasonably priced eye wears. If my financial resources permits and I'll be granted a little extra, I would definitely treat myself with this glasses I've been meaning to have from Zenni.

Dear readers and visitors,As the author of Just the way it is... the mother of all my blogs, I am humbly reinstating my invitation to you all to freely stop and look into my blogs here. If you happened to check out my profile, you'll see the blog list I am trying to steadfastly manage on a regular basis.
I personally owned three:
Just the way it is..., Peaceful Mind and just the recently re-launched Things I Heart (formerly, My Music page).
And then there's the blogs that I co-authored:
See me for what you will... (mine and JK's page)
Out of Nowhere... an auto-related as well as a personal blog mainly authored by JK's son, JD.
In as much as I am trying to bring you some compelling and helpful updates here in anyway, I am also hoping you can spend a little of your time to stop over at any of my/our sites... Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, Things I Heart and Out of Nowhere has just been updated. Would be nice to see your presence there too. Everyone is welcome and both sites are still open for ex links request.
Oh and more thing, please be kind to also visit my sister's blog, The Challenge. She's a newbie, trying to share and hoping to win some friends from this community too. :-)
Thank you so much ahead and have a pleasant blogging day to all!
:-)
Before it's being denounced. Now everybody's doing it!
Cyber-dating became an acceptable way for busy singles to meet others. If you go into this with the right attitude, realize up front that online dating is only momentary, sheer means of introduction... That's all it is!
For me, there's simply no way to know if the chemistry is there without a face-to-face encounter. So it's foolish to let an online "romance" go on and on without meeting. Lots of emotional investment at risk, and probably a lot of time wasted, as well.
Imagine how time flies so fast. Where have all the previous months have gone? One more leap and it's Christmas time once again. As early as now, I know lot of mommies, daddies and grandparents out there are already cracking their heads thinking of what presents to buy for their children and grandchildren this Christmas. Let's face the fact that as time changes, every year's holiday celebration is also getting more and more expensive. Before a bag of candy or a piece of elastic toy could already put a precious smile to a child's face. Today, the new generation of game technology became popular and what most children loves to play than the traditional ones. Internet cafes became a famous avenue for children especially after class hours to play their favorite video games. They are everywhere.
Oh well, I guess that's what progress is all about. Now that you already have a hint on what to give for kids this Christmas, I suggest you get these stuffs from your favorite stores online. Online shopping will help you save your time and effort plus you don't have to rush and worry about holiday traffic and congestion at the conventional shopping sites.
I am being bratty again today... and because I don't feel like talking to anyone (for some reasons), I chose to be just with myself and all alone at the la-la-la land for hours. When I woke up around 2pm, I realized I took nothing for my belly yet but never mind. I may grab something to eat later.
When I finally gather myself back after a so tiring sleep, I sat and started pressing my keyboard for a paid post when a friend popped up on my screen. I haven't heard of her for a while so to the backseat na muna si "review", lol!.
Anyways, nice to hear from you again, Evs after quite a while. Thanks for the chat!
The next thing happened... I spotted and affiliate opp from SS. Grabbed and posted it.
Hmm... I guess life is not really that bad at all...
Oh well, let me get out of here so I can now start composing the post I am originally thinking and trying of doing for today...
Happy weekend to all!
Ciao!

Best thing about being Filipino II
Mang-aaliw naman ako this time... saka na uli ako mang gugutom...LOL!
Sing-a-long. Filipinos love to sing, and thank God a lot of us do it well!
Sari-sari store. There's one in every corner, offering everything from bananas and floor wax to Band-Aid and bakya.
Cockfighting. Filipino men love it more than their wives (sometimes).
Pasalubong. Our way of sharing the vicarious thrills and delights of a trip, and a wonderful excuse to shop without the customary guilt.
Jeepneys. Colorful, fast, reckless, a vehicle of postwar Pinoy ingenuity, this Everyman's communal cadillac makes for a cheap, interesting ride. If the driver's a daredevil (as they usually are), hmm...you better hang on to your seat.

I have read an interesting story that talks about "attitude" in general. This morning, as I rose from bed, I remembered one line from the story that says: "Each morning when you wake up, you have two choices... whether you wake up in the good mood or you wake up in the bad mood".
Thinking of so many things that I need to get done today , I decided to wake up in a good mood. At this time (3:26 pm) I already have at least 70% of my pending online activities done. Before I finally jump to my last agenda for today which is blog hopping, let me plug some interesting activities here first.
I'm sure many of you have known Lainy better known as Scotty's Princess. One of the so many blogs I love to visit. Aside from the fact that we both came from the same region and we speak the same native language, it is her way of articulating herself, her opinions and brilliant ideas that draws my interest to visit her blogs as often as I can. Not to mention her warm accommodation every time I vent some blogging issues to her on some occasions. I think many of our friends here have already proven her kindheartedness...In fact, her Birthday Bash Contest which she and her generous sponsors had prepared for everybody can justify it further!

Their cosmetic practices is focused on advancement in the field of dental care. Invisalign treatment is one of them.

Isn't this something worth trying?!
If there is one course or subject I likely refuse to learn about during my college days, that would be Marketing. Anything that has something to do with marketing activities primarily selling of goods and services. Why? Maybe because I lack confidence and persuading people for a certain product is not my cup of tea. And because it's not my interest, I care less... But not until I became an author of my own website and learn how to make money online.
As affiliate marketing is rapidly growing, more and more website owners found themselves acquiring the interest to join this leading online venture... the revenue-sharing programs. For some family women who don't want to leave their houses yet are looking for a favorable income generator, affiliate marketing is the best avenue that is worth trying for for you. Plug-In Profite site can coach you how. This site is a proven home business opportunity that allows members to earn money online with or without the necessary experience.

Hello here...
Thanks to those who dropped by at naki-share on my yesterday's treat. Salamat naman at kahit papano nabusog ko kayo kakatingin...hahaha.
At may naging interesado pa on how to make kwek-kwek, lol! Actually I already have coached her earlier but to those who are still interested to learn, eto yun:
"Simply coat the hard boiled eggs with flour. Mix the flour with enough amount of water to make it a little sticky and the food color which is yellow. Food color is optional though since there are those who really don't want to use artificial colors. But like I said to Faye, mas mukha talaga siyang kwek-kwek if its yellow. After which, deep fry the coated eggs for about a minute or two...and that's it!
Finally to make it complete, you can prepare a sawsawan (sauce) of your choice. For me, it's best served with the mix of diced cucumber, seaweeds, onions, vinegar, a little amount of chili powder and salt to taste. For the kids naman, I recommend sweet and sour sauces na may konti din naman anghang... depende na lang sa kakain." (see kwek-kwek image on my post below)
Tayo naman kasi mga Pinoy, pagdating sa mga in between meals o meryenda, walang sinabi ang economic crisis ng bansa ... oopps..walang kokontra! hehe... Kaya to best compensate our pockets, let's go for food preparation that's economical yet healthy.....Ayt!
(Sya... hanap-buhay na muna ako!)
:-))
Best thing about being a Filipino (pagdating sa kainan!):
Merienda. Where else is it normal to eat 5 times a day? (Ay eto..hindi lang pinoy na pinoy kundi akong- ako ito!) hmm.. I love having merienda and these are among my favorites:
Pansit palabokthis is simply irresistible! (for me...)
at eto pa....
kwek-kweka flour coated hard boiled egg and of course it comes with...
Sawsawan. Assorted sauces that guarantee freedom of choice, enough room for experimentation and maximum tolerance for diverse tastes. Famous pinoy sawsawan are toyo't calamansi (soy sauce & lime) , suka at sili (vinegar with chili) and patis.
Fiesta. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow is just another day, shrugs the poor man who, once a year, honors a patron saint with this sumptuous, no-holds-barred spread. It's a Pinoy celebration at its pious and riotous best.
Kamayan style. To eat with one's hand and eschew spoon, fork and table manners--ah, heaven!
Street food: Barbecue, lugaw, banana-cue, fishballs, IUD (chicken entrails), adidas (chicken feet), warm taho. Forget hepatitis; here's cheap, tasty food with gritty ambience.
at syempre, di mawawala and paborito ng mga batang pinoy
(the Filipino children's favorite)
Dirty ice cream. Very Pinoy flavors that make up for the risk: munggo (green beans), langka (jackfruit), ube(purple yam), mais (corn), keso (cheese), macapuno (soft coconut meat) . Plus there's the colorful cart that recalls jeepney art.
Hala! nabusog ba kayo?!!
:-))
