The Simple Woman's Daybook
for Today
Wednesday, October 7th
Outside my window... it is rainy and the storm seems to have come back. I remember waking up at dawn startled by the curtains blown by the wind in our living room (where we sleep)
I am thinking...right now? My Cafe World account at Facebook... my Bacon
Cheeseburger just went "ding!" :D Kidding aside, I'm thinking of this blog that I've neglected for quite a time and what I can do especially when I'm too-too busy.
I am thankful for... finally completing the list of ebooks I'm selling for download. You'll find it on my other blog, so please feel free to visit.
From the kitchen... again, I'm not the cook :) but we'll be having Ginataang Breadfruit or what-you-may-call-it (Ginataang Kamansi, in our local dialect)
I am wearing... a black hand-me-down hooded sweatshirt (because it's cold today) and housewear shorts.
I am going... to write emails sent thru facebook today, just to say hi
I am reading... Psalm 46
I am hoping... for fair weather for the Philippines. We really want that, don't we all?
I am hearing... my toddler watching Mr. Bean show in the background
Around the house... clean up to do. I'm still thinking of having our garage turned kitchen painted with white. Kind of like French Provincial. Oh, after the winds of course.
One of my favorite things... a warm mug of coffee.
A few plans for the rest of the week ... ebaying and online selling as usual.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing... picture of raindrops taken on our doorstep (I'm on this side of the film, that is, what you see is the entrance to the house for rent)

The Simple Woman's Daybook
for Today
Wednesday, September 9th
Outside my window... the sun is out, after days of rain!
I am thinking...of good things, positive thoughts... yes, I'm happy!
I am thankful for... this day... it's September 9th, it's my eldest son's 19th birthday... plenty of good news... even our country seems to be in a festive mood after Sen. Noynoy Aquino's announcement today.
From the kitchen... we'll be having a simple lunch of beef and red beans. My hubby's the official cook here :)
I am wearing... a hand-me-down shirt that I love and blue denims. Funny, the shirt says : "The worst day of anything is better than the best day of school" in faded prints. Ha-ha! Why such thoughts about school, this must be my niece's shirt. I also have a beaded bag I just bought.
I am creating... a slideshow of photos from our cornfield and "new" vegetable garden
I am going... to just be like this all day. Will get to work in a while on my ebook selling errands.
I am reading... Proverbs Chapter 24 of the Bible. A verse I found there today is the best advice I could possibly find!
I am hoping... for fair weather, keeps everyone in a good mood.
I am hearing... the Secret movie on tv.
Around the house... my children are home and will be going to school this afternoon. hmm, everything is in order. Surprised!
One of my favorite things... is a day like this, I have a very very good feeling. It's like when I was in the 80's of the amazing days.
A few plans for the rest of the week ...my week will be busy online while I'll be checking on the cornfield out back.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

Reality of My Living Room
I love Kimchi!
Kimchi was introduced to our family when many years ago we had this Korean family as neighbours. They are great cooks and share/exchange recipes with us. (though our contribution was just "Pinikpikan" and "M&M Jumble cookies")
But with kimchi, because at first we didn't know what it is, we politely accepted. When I first got a taste of it, I thought it was too hot and oddly because of the salty-sour-pungent taste - just imagine how Koreans profusely put chili sauce.
Months later, our neighbour moved and oh no, we forgot to ask her for the kimchi recipe. So I researched it on the internet, considering food safety issues and health benefits ( you will find the links below)
Prepare the basic ingredients:
2 heads Chinese cabbages, ginger, garlic, green onion, red pepper powder and rock salt.
Wash vegetables thoroughly. Remove discolored leaves. Cut cabbages into sections.
Soak in brine mixture of 10 cups water and 1 cup salt.
You may need to weigh the cabbages down with a plate to make sure they are evenly soaked in brine. Soak for 2-7 hours until soft. (You will need to rinse them in cold water after soaking time)
Chop the rest of the ingredients. Finely if you please.
You can put the green onion, ginger and garlic together while the cabbages are soaked.
Keep them covered to maintain their freshness.
After rinsing the cabbages, drain.
Mix the green onion, ginger and garlic together with the cabbages.
Add the red pepper powder. ( we use only minimal red pepper powder hence this kimchi you see below is quite mild)
Blend all evenly to ferment.
Now it's ready!
Try this recipe and feel it's health benefits too!

EO 712 ~ Jeepney Driver's Dream: single ticketing system
Sana naman ay magkaroon din nito sa amin bayan at magkaisa ang SJJODA at MJJODA para idaing ito.
Maski hindi na matatawag na jeepney drayber ngayon ang asawa ko ay maaalala ko pa ang mga pasakit na dinanas niya at dinaranas pa rin ng mga jeepney drayber dito sa amin. Pakengkoy ko na lang itong ikwento para maiba naman.
Hirap kaya ang magpasada sa Manaoag-Dagupan route. Nariyan po ang mga buwaya - dalawang klase ito : drayber na sasalisi sa yo at kunduktor na aagaw ng pasahero mo. Nariyan din ang mga pasahero na ayaw sumakay sa jeepney mo - lalo na kung galing ka ng Manaoag patungong San Jacinto- kapag walang masyadong nakasakay sa jeepney mo. kaya kailangan ang mga "pain". Sabi ko nga noon sa asawa ko pagawa kami ng mga inflatable na mannequin na automatic para di na siya magsakay ng mga "pain"
Nandyan din ang mga kangaroo - ang mga iba-ibang klase ng kundoktor na mahilig mangupit. May magtatago na ng 10 piso bawat biyahe, kaya kung 10 biyahe, aba may 100 extra na siya! At di lang po yun, may nagli-libre pa ng mga pasahero kahit isang baranggay.
May mga jeepney operators din kaming nakilala na... naku po... grabe ang pagka-istrikto. Kaya di ka pwedeng umabsent - pag araw ng pasada mo, kahit naka-swero ka pa dapat bumiyahe ka kungdi ibibigay na yun sa iba at mawawala ka na sa listahan. Kaya nga po bilib din ako sa asawa ko kahit kelan di siya nag-absent, at tsaka... kelangan eh. Ngunit may masamang karanasan din kami sa isang jeepney operator, hindi tinulungan ang asawa ko nung... talaga nga naman!.... nahuli siya ng honorable POSO at na-impound ang jeepney ni sir dahil sa isang pagka- "kagat- labing" pangyayari na napagtripan ang asawa ko na hinuli na nga nung umaga for obstruction daw... tapos nahuli uli nung tanghali kasi panget siya... tapos nahuli uli nung alas-3 dahil masyado siyang masaya kasi andami niya pashero (uy, iisang POSO lang ang humuli sa kanya, ginawa siyang altanghap)
Kaya heto - ang mga POSO- Public Order and Safety Office(POSO) ng Dagupan City (traffic enforcers) sample lang po yang picture, matino pa yan ..... nagbigay ng parusa sa mga maralita at patuloy pa ring nagbibigay ng hinagpis sa mga jeepney drayber sa amin.
Mga POSO ang di namin talaga makakalimutan. Tulad ng nabanggit ko, may gutom sa mga panghuhuli, sabi-sabi nga ay may tinatarget silang quota sa isang araw, totoo ba? Oo, andami pong bawal at sinisikap din naming di gumawa ng violation. Pero matanong lang po, bakit po kapag na-recover na namin ang aming mga lisensya ay mahuhuli kami kaagad pagkalipas ng 1-3 araw? Masakit po yun. At may mga panibagong listahan pa sila sa tuwina... bawal ang tumawag ng pasahero kung hindi ikaw ang kundoktor na naka-ID (hmm) ....bawal ang manigarilyo (tama!)... bawal ang walang basurahan... huli ka kapag walang sticker with disabled passenger sign... bawal ang nakasimangot..... haay! Meron bang tagahuli ng mga abusadong POSO? ---ewan.
So, sa mga POSO ng Dagupan... heto ang FYI:
The Proper Conduct Of A Traffic Enforcer
1. Instruct the driver to pull over to a safe part of the road
2. Inform driver not alight from the vehicle
3. The traffic officer IS REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY HIM/ HER SELF
4. The traffic officer is required to politely inform the driver of the violation commited in clear and understandable language without vulgarity or condescending words. (o, hayan, kaya bawal ang galit na galit at talsik-laway na pananalita ha)
6. Officer is required to request driver to sign the TVR
7. If driver refuses to sign, the traffic officer is required to inform the driver that he/she can contest the violation at the adjudication board
8. If driver refuses to surrender his/her drivers license, the traffic officer is required to fill out the TVR with the following information:
- plate number
- type of vehicle
- place, time and date of apprehension
9. The traffic officer is required to furnish driver with the original copy of the TVR with the following instructions:
-Where to redeem the TVR
- when to redeem the TVR
Sana po ganun na nga kaayos ang sistema nang sa ganun ay makapag-maneho na rin ako ng jeepney.

My Sony DSC-S60 camera
I'm still in the process of learning how to use this camera handed down to us by my in-laws. It came without a manual so I searched for it online and voila! there it is embedded below. Found the manual via google and just uploaded it to Scribd. I just had to embed it here, saves me the time searching ;-)
Ah, as I rub my hands together, I can't wait to take pictures again just as I once did during the early 90's! I'll be posting more of those to my Flickr page soon!

"Teach Your Child How to Read In 90 Days!" the revised edition in ebook
This was the eBook cover of the revised edition.
I worked on this ebook in 2005 and finally finished in May of 2006 just in time when I began selling it. It was hard work for me and more so that I was surviving on a shoestring budget. But special thanks to a friend from church, Victor, who had an internet cafe infront of Nepo Mall Dagupan and gave me free use of his computers and scanner.
Many parents have requested in the past for this format, so here we are! It is the much improved edition from the old one. It contains much more than the old one and has colorful illustrations. More modules and lessons were added. Now 150 pages with a series of 61 lessons. The same simple methods introduced in the first edition are used. I have added more lessons to it, plenty of home activities, games and some nursery rhymes too. A parent's guide is included in the first part of the material and it's easy to follow
****
This format is usually sent via email as attachment, as it costs a fraction less than the book version. (This costs Php280.00 or $7.00). It was then accepted by parents/teachers as a more favorable method of delivery since it's convenient.
I think so too, but I've also offered the ebook in CD version for those parents who prefer to install the software onto their personal computer. As an extra companion, I used to add the simplified Powerpoint version** - this too is good for the review and for children much too young to understand the complexity of reading.
**The Powerpoint presentation is no longer available due to the piracy I found out in 2007.
