We only had an omelette to share as we were rushing – but wow, this is one of the best omelettes I have ever tried.  An omelette is an omelette but I really liked this one.  I also liked the crispy hash brown that went with it on the sidebreakfast-at-antonios-24.JPG

PENGUIN TEA TIMER

Making tea, though easy to do, is also time consuming. Once you pour the hot water into the cup, you must patiently hover over it, waiting for the tea to steep. Well, the Penguin Tea Timer happily does the waiting for you. 

Place your tea cup under the beak and set it to the desired time. As you turn the timer dial, the beak lowers the tea into the hot water. When time is up, a bell sounds and the penguin automatically lifts his beak, removing the tea bag from the water.

Vellux Wireless Calling System

By | Great Inventions, Household Tips, Technology | One Comment

We had a visitor at home, Shaq!  🙂  James had asked him to come over because he saw a gadget in Pancake house that he thought would help us in our house

vellux-philippines-5.jpg

We were having a hard time calling our household staff who are in different parts of the house at different times of the day.  Apparently they have a device that can call or alert people through a watch that they will wear 🙂  Has life gotten this complicated?? 🙂  These devices are usually used in restaurants, hotels, casinos and many other places.  James actually saw this in Pancake House in Polo club.  On the table there is a device you can press to call the waiter.  In other restaurants, they give you this gadget which will alert you when your food is ready at the counter or if you are waiting in line and you can go around the mall first and the gadget will alarm when your table is ready.  

But now there seems to be a new market – the home!vellux-philippines-1.JPG

There is a button you press to call a particular staff or person and they can customize it depending on how many people  vellux-philippines-2.JPGvellux-philippines-3.JPGvellux-philippines-4.JPG

And because I am bad at explaining and you probably did not understand what i was saying up there, I asked Shaq to send me some materials to explain this.  This is good especially for business  vellux-philippines-7.jpg vellux-philippines-8.jpg vellux-philippines-9.jpg vellux-philippines-10.jpg vellux-philippines-11.jpg vellux-philippines-12.jpg vellux-philippines-13.jpg vellux-philippines-14.jpg vellux-philippines-15.jpg vellux-philippines-16.jpg vellux-philippines-17.jpg vellux-philippines-18.jpg vellux-philippines-19.jpg vellux-philippines-20.jpg

Give Shaq a call!

Letter from Ana

By | Giving Back, Health and Fitness, Medical | 41 Comments

Ever since I posted about Ana, everyone I bump into asks about her  

Previous entry:  Friend for Ana July 30, 2013

They are all very concerned.  They ask me how the condition started and I realized I did not know the full details.  So I asked Sari to help me,  though I tried to contact Ana ( despite trying not to bother her ) and apparently she is strong enough to write something for me to share here at Heart2Heart so i asked her to share her story.  She even sent me photos!  So we have a blow by blow account here 🙂 

I am happy because I am now in touch with Ana and know that she is okay.  All my worries seem to disappear when she’s sending me messages.  She took time to write a letter to explain and narrate what had happened to her which she allowed me to share with all of you.  All of you who have shown concern, compassion, love, care, or just want to know how Ana is

Friends for Ana by The Dream Team August 7, 2013 

Update on Ana August 2, 2013 

This was in May before Ana went on vacation.  She was very healthy and in fact trying to get in shape and be healthy.  This answers everyones question as to whether she had symptoms already in the past or if she was already diagnosed.  There was none.

And here is Ana’s letter narrating what had happened which all started during her family vacation to the States.  Thank you Ana for your beautiful letter to me and for sharing your story with all of us.  I will always be here for you and so will everyone else who has shown so much love and support throughout this tough journey, most especially God who has held your hand and who has always been there for you.

Ana told me that we should immediately see a doctor if we feel anything unusual or any pain.  We should not be scared of doctors! 🙂

Arrived in Tagaytay and it was foggy!  I went to Subic on a Monday for the day, Went to Kawayan Cove on A Thursday for the day and then went to Tagaytay on a Saturday for the day!  That week was a week of road trips! 🙂

Ralos Cassava Cake

By | Proud to be Pinoy!, Travel, Yummy! | 4 Comments

On the way to Tagaytay, Roselen told me about this Cassava place by the Sta. Rosa exit. You have to really watch out for it or else you will miss it. It’s on the left side of the road if you are going towards Tagaytay 


Bought some!

We did not get to eat it right away – maybe a week after!

We just heated it in the microwave for a few seconds and wow! SO YUMMY!!!

I heated another one with grated parmesan cheese – EVEN MORE YUMMY!!!!
