*May 15, 2026 FRI Third (3rd) day without Globe internet. Same issue as before: steady green lights except the "Internet" light is off (see pic). This started May 13, WED afternoon. GlobeOne app states no outage. Unplugging the modem does not fix the issue. Sigh, eto nanaman kami. *May 16, 2026 SAT Called 211 with a Globe phone. I requested to cancel/terminate my plan since the lock-in period has already expired. The rep put me on hold for the "care" team. It did not go through, so the rep created a ticket # for me and told me to wait for a call-back within 24 hours. *May 20, 2026 TUE No one got back to me. Called 211 with a Globe phone to follow up. Rep said my ticket # is open and in queue for a call-back. Okayyyyy. To be continued...

04/30/2026 Expectation vs. reality ng "creamy chicken pesto pasta" from Pizza Hut Bicutan branch (Dona Soledad Ave) via Food Panda delivery:  *Pasta? Expected fusilli per product description but received spaghetti. *Taste? Salty 😬 as in... Sayang. Expectation versus What we received... Already ate some before I took this photo.

APRIL 23, 2026, THU: Napundi yung 2 bulbs ng Electrolux range hood today - it's the second time since we moved in. The first time was in 2021; back then, we replaced the original bulbs with Omni brand E14 screw candle 10w 'warm white' which were marketed as refrigerator bulbs which turned out to be too dim for the range hood but we made do for years... I remember the orig candle bulbs were yellow or warm white too but bigger in size and with a higher wattage; maybe the max allowed (40w each) for this specific Electrolux range hood model; those were really bright. APRIL 25, 2026 SAT: These are the 2 new bulbs I bought: E14 that are "corn bulbs" LED 5w in 'daylight' (via shopee PHP65.00/bulb). Anyway, it says 5w sa online product description when I ordered these, however, the boxes were not marked specifically, and I didn't check if it says so on the bulb itself. But LED white light na so, it should be okay.  Since the new bulbs arrived today, we instal...

Masarap ba yung luscious mocha cake ng Goldilocks? Oo, masarap!   Here it is, delivered via FoodPanda. It's the 9-inch round cake with dedication (+pink candle), PHP 689.00... I used my foodpanda vouchers so I paid less than that, plus extra cash tip for the rider. It's like their regular mocha cake made "luscious" with the sweet chocolate ganache inside and outside... deelish! I used to avoid buying Goldilocks after eating one of their cakes with "grainy" frosting many, many years ago. But that changed when I was gifted their mocha dedication cake last year, the large rectangle one. It was so yummy; not grainy at all.

Spam Chicken Single from Puregold (via shopee) PHP 68.00  Spam Chicken Single - Masarap ba? Oo, masarap! Spam chicken is so much better than other Spams... It's not salty! You get the yum of Spam without the strong after-taste. 👍 I want to buy again but it's always sold out. 

Finally, freshly baked croissant. Mini croissant sold sporadically by a neighbor who does cafe cart pop-ups for events. It was legit flakey, airy, buttery, and still warm when delivered. Masarap! It usually sells out quickly when she posts it on our fb community group. Sulit na 45 pesos each so, PHP 90 for 2pcs. Free delivery pa to our door. _ But sometimes, it's "buyer beware." When neighbors post food for sale, it's a hit or miss e.g. they post pics that don't match the actual food or the serving is too small for the price. Minsan, meron din na hindi namin type ang style nila ng timpla. So cautious lang when they're new sa fb group, pero kahit old sellers can be disappointing... This one time, I bought a solo serving of nilagang pork for PHP 120 kasi okay naman yung posted pic, BUT what they delivered had 1 small piece of fatty meat, 1 cut pc of corn cob, and a few greens - nyek! It was likely the bottom of the pot, but sana they considered that this se...

Yung 6pcs premium donuts ng Dunkin' P264 + foodpanda delivery (free w/ pro) + rider's tip... Pre-selected "premium" donuts na bahala ang crew pumili ng combo. Habol ko yung choco butternut - buti nalang meron 😋 Review tayo... 1. Pineapple-filled donut - Masarap ang pineapple jam sa loob. 2. Watermelon donut - Hindi masarap. Frosting na watermelon-flavored... weird. 3. Almond white choco donut - Hindi masarap kasi dry. 4. Peanut butter and jelly donut - Masarap.  5. Choco Glazed - Masarap sana kaso super sweet. 6. Choco BTN - Masarap just like I remember it. Sweet din but not as cloying as #5.
