Zte pocket wifi swollen battery

 I purchased the ZTE MF920T LTE pocket wifi  years ago. We have since moved into a new place and this pocket wifi served its purpose when we're on the road or during brownouts. I think it was around 2.5k pesos back in 2017. Smart LTE sim has good coverage in Metro Manila and that's the SIM I use with this. Unfortunately, its battery is now swollen... yikes. It still works but I woudn't risk using this now.

Desserts from Just and Joy Paranaque

Assorted dessert slices from Just & Joy Bakeshop in Paranaque - carrot cake and I forget what the others are called. This was taken last year. They were kind enough to deliver kahit konti lang binili ko and late na, I just paid extra. It is best to eat these right out of the fridge while they're still cold para super sarap. I found pictures on my phone that I forgot about until I started scrolling through them recently. I took pictures at the time because I wanted to write about them like in this post... These pictures were from April 2019 pa LOL. I think this one with layers is a mille feuille.

Nestle Sale at Shopee - Buy Bear Brand, Milo, etc. online

SALE Upto 22% off until 11/24/2020... Click the banner to see the Nestle Official Store on Shopee! Merong sale ang Nestle sa Shopee until 11/24/2020... This is the official Nestle Store at the online Shopee Mall.  A lot of manufacturers have an official storefront there and it's great that we can buy direct online na!  Among the Nestle products I buy are Milo and Bear Brand Adult Plus. I like that you can get P40 off shipping when you reach the minimum order total... it's not really free shipping, but P40 off kasi P45 talaga ang shipping within Metro Manila as of now. At the Nestle store, merong free shipping for a minimum order of P500. The vouchers and promos on Shopee change over time kaya you have to check what's new when you buy online to get the best deals. Eto yung mga deals nila until 11/24/2020... Discounts up to 22% off. Nice. So far, maayos ang delivery sakin ng mga official stores sa Shopee Mall. Quality products, malinis (as in hindi old stocks na naalikabok na...

Online grocery shopping with GrabMart PH

Image source: Grab.com/ph/mart I have been grocery shopping for years now and if you have been too, you will agree that things change as time goes by. That is why it is best to be up to date about these things. For example, because of this pandemic, the number of online grocery stores in Metro Manila has grown and this competitive market brings relief to consumers... Moving on: GrabMart has been my go-to online grocery store to date. Some of the available groceries in my area are Waltermart, Liana's, and Zagana. I get my pantry and other grocery items from Waltermart and Liana's, and I get my fresh fruit, veggies and meat from Zagana. The fruit and vegetables that I have purchased from Zagana have been high quality. I am grateful it is so convenient for us now because of Grabmart... I know Waltermart has its own online platform with more inventory... But their schedule has become less favorable for me because you don't really know what time they will actually arrive.  What ...

  Ilustration by the CDC.gov The new/novel virus: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) The illness caused by this virus: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) I do not even know how to begin... I just hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this unusual time.

Happy 2020!

Happy new year! I've not posted in months... ano na mga nangyari? Busy yung December which is fine. I had fun. I'm going to get another round of blood tests done early March. Ready na yung doctor's order from my home-service consult with an MD I got thru the AIDE app last month... actually, yung previous blood tests ko, dun ko din na-book. Laking tulong yung AIDE app para sa mga taga-Metro Manila! As in! -- I want to write about my experiences using the AIDE app which were all positive so far, pati yung same-day Rx medicine deliveries were great - they use Grab! Mahal ang blood tests at consultation, pero sobrang sulit naman at bawas anxiety kung hindi ka talaga makalabas ng bahay. Naisip ko na I want to write about hotels - and how they treat guests in wheelchairs. Medyo madami nakong naipon na kwento from Alabang, Mandaluyong at Makati (nakwento ko na yung GoHotels sa Bacolod dati na very accessible kasi proper ramps are built around the building! As in tama ang he...
