Getting Back Up After a Very Long Hiatus

 I can't recall how long ago was it when I stopped blogging. Probably in 2012. Based on my Blogger blogs, I started in December of 2006. In 2007 I started being more consistent, especially when I have found online friends who also blogged. I think it was in 2008 when i began buying my own domains. I remember I accumulated around 3 dozens, which I also gave up due to high maintenance. 

I used to say that my pen (or keyboard) is mightier than my tongue. I guess it still is. I just got to a point that I stopped writing. Probably because I became more interested in crafting.

I've been a crafter since I was a kid but it was in 2011 when I was given the opportunity to expand into fiber arts (crochet, knit). Someone special enabled me (gave me yarn, hooks, needles) and so my focus switched. We all have 24 hours in a day. We can only do so much. 

So why am I restarting my blogging?

Writing WAS easy for me then. (I'm not saying I'm very good. I write to be understood, though, even by kids. I don't have the capacity to use big words, nor am I interested to do so.) I seem to have lost the knack for it. The saying is true. "If you do not use it, you lose it." I want to regain it. At a time where vlogging is more common now, I still don't see myself doing that. Maybe in the future. I'm not closing the door. I'm just harnessing what I know I have (or used to have).

I've also always focused on solutions. The only time I think of any problem for long is when I'm thinking of possible solutions.

So what's in it for you readers?

This blog will dwell on the positive. I do not know all (no one does), but what I know I can share that may be helpful for someone else (not just you), I will share.

Welcome!

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...

Basic Electricity Knowledge Saved Us Money and Time

 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...

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...
