Basic Electricity Knowledge Saved Us Money and Time

Image
 Every Wednesday is laundry day for me. I've put in the detergent in the water but when I turned the timer knob of the washing machine, it did nothing. I made sure plug was plugged and still nothing. There is this extension cord and I made sure it also plugged to the other extension cord. That other extension cord is working because the fan is on. So I'm pretty sure that the culprit is the extension cord where the washing machine is plugged into. I chatted with my husband about it so he can decide what to do about it. He asked me to fix it instead because he has no budget to buy a new extension cord. I said I do not have a tester. He suggested that I just wing it. He's the one good at winging it, not me. I need logic to get things done. Anyway, I climbed up a chair just to get the extension cord released from the hooks he had set for safety and stability. (That's another thing he's really good at.) Then I tested the cord using another power source. It really isn...

How to Make Homemade Fermented Honey Garlic

Image
Fermented honey garlic has many health benefits as long as you use all-natural, raw or wild honey. You probably are reading this because you already know that (if not, you can always do a search). Why would you want to make your own fermented honey garlic instead of just buying the highly commercial ones? 1. You know the ingredients (quality). 2. It's cheaper (you shoulder the labor, though). All you need: 1. Garlic 2. Raw or wild honey 3. Glass jar Let me show you what it looks like before the fermentation. What you need to do: 1. Sort and peel garlic. I remove the small cloves because I'm using the big ones. (Next time I'd like to try the Ilocos variety because of its potency. I'm just not looking forward to peeling tiny cloves.) I stopped peeling the rest because my fingers started to burn with the garlic heat. 2. Get your jar and fill up to 3/4. (This is my old jar with some honey from my previous ferment.) 3. Fill the...

Confirm Your SIM Registration ASAP

Image
I have done registering both my SIMs at the time it was announced to be open for registration. I got the confirmation some weeks later. I am confident that my SIMs will continue to be active passed the first deadline (before it was extended). Yesterday, though, when I checked my TNT balance, I got a message that my SIM is not registered. I have Globe and TNT (Smart). Some weeks ago I have checked the network apps and seen that my numbers are registered.  Since my problem is with TNT, here is my proof screenshot last April 21. Today? I tried to call *888 but no way to reach a real person. So I just re-registered. So for you, if you are confident you are registered, MAKE SURE you are.  UPDATE : (A few hours after the above post...) I was requested to go directly to a SMART branch, and so I did. The person assisting me was supposed to confirm my registration through the system but said that since yesterday it has been down. So nothi...

Unmasked Series: What to Do With the Truth Affects Our Future

Image
 Do we not all want the truth or do we just want to believe the lie? Probably because it's convenient, we've been used to it, or we just didn't know it was a lie. Below is a series that will affect your future, whether you believe it or not, or whether you do something about it or not. In a court, you take both sides, listen to both sides, then you decide. The Bible is used when one has to swear to "tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God." Are you for Team Truth or Team Lie? Whatever team you choose, it will affect your future. Five videos are presented below.

How to Make Your Own Homemade Sauerkraut

Image
Sauerkraut has been one of my go-to fermented foods since I learned to do it myself. I did not have the capacity to buy it so I'll do the labor instead and hubhy buys the cabbage. We've been trying to eat healthy as much as we can, with the very little budget that we have. Since many health problems come from the gut, solution must have something to do with the gut. Sauerkraut is one of them. It also does not break the budget as much as others do (like kimchi). We live in the city. The best we can do is buy from the market. Choose one that is heavy for it's size. Don't wait too long before you prep it. The best time is when it's been freshly harvested. Always start with clean everything.
