Red Ribbon Choco Caramel Roll Review (2022)

Image
It’s dry! 🙁 What happened? This is the 2nd consecutive roll that we’ve bought from the Red Ribbon Bicutan branch at Dona Soledad Avenue… The previous one was the mango roll; it was dry too. Red Ribbon used to be our go-to shop for affordable roll cakes because they were so moist , but the quality has gone down. 😢 The Red Ribbon Ube Bloom round cake that we ordered last year 2021 was delicious though, so maybe it's just the rolls that changed.

Globe at Home Installation Plan 1599

Image
Applied for Globe at Home VDSL Plan 1599 Monday afternoon (April 18, 2022). It was installed Wednesday morning (April 20, 2022). This is modem-only plan, walang landline. There is a Globe agent/booth at our clubhouse. I assume many residents in our community are Globe internet and landline subscribers. Ang contact number ng lobby sa building namin is Globe landline. NOTES via talk with our Globe agent during the application:  • Expect around P800 sa unang billing para sa fees; she does not know why they printed it as "... P100 per month for first 12 months" sa promotional flyer. (UPDATE: Actual first month's bill ko = P2,185.30; Second month's bill = P1,599.00)  • Correct na there is a 24-month lock-in contract.  • Lahat ng buildings dito are wire-ready sa Globe that is why mabilis ang installation. Front camera ang gamit ko diyan ^ kaya mirrored ang picture; kakagising ko lang nung nag-doorbell ang technician. Okay ang wired services ng Globe, pero an

Modem Replacement from Sky

Ganitong modem "Skyworth" ang pinalit ng Sky sa modem namin na luma. We are having issues with the WiFi disconnecting everyday between 2am and 4am. Turning the modem off/on while waiting ~2 minutes in between, fixes it. But lately, it disconnects in the afternoon as well. The modem lights are okay, but it kicks us out. Araw-araw nalang. Inis nako . So, I contacted Sky last week to schedule a home visit. The Sky technicians came today. After a Q&A about the problem, they decided to replace the old Technicolor modem. The replacement modem is free. Anyway, it takes a long while to set up the new modem kasi it's not just "plug and play." They coordinated with their home office over the phone, linked it via serial number, etc., and then, I signed their work order form. We made sure okay lahat before they left. My 2-year contract with Sky ended matagal na so I can cancel at any time. When I do that, I will only cancel their internet service. I am keep

My February in Pictures

— Pork giniling at pineapple tidbits … Pwede na. Wala kaming carrot or patatas, kaya green peas nalang nilagay ko. Saute chopped 4 cloves garlic at half white onion, 1/3 giniling, isang kustarang toyo ng 5 minutes. Ihalo ang syrup from maliit na pack ng tidbits, mga 4 na kutsarang tubig, magic sarap, pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover then lower heat. Simmer ng 15-18 minutes hanggang maluto at lumabot baboy. Dagdag ng kutsarang tubig in betwen kung kailangan lang. Ihalo green peas at simmer ng 5 minutes. Oks na. — Brunch: Scrambled egg and leftovers ... na adobong kangkong + small suahe shrimp na niluto sa garlic at Sprite. Buo yang shrimp pagluto syempre, nabalatan na yan sa plato. Di malaki ang suahe, la din makuha sa ulo. Next time Royal ang gagamitin namin sa hipon, kulang kasi sa tamis yung Sprite. — Youngstown sardines + fried egg ... at UFC banana catsup. Simple lang. Yum.
