    We've been planning to have a Durian Party over the weekend, but we moved it on Monday, sixth of October because it's a HOLIDAY. It's the Feast of the Sacrifice or Eid al-Adha celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year, a festival that denotes an act of submission to God's command.

    Going back to our plan Durian Party, we decided to do it during the Holiday.  

    In the Feast of the Sacrifice imply us to SHARE what we have.

    So we went to Cabantian, Buhangin still part of Davao City, here we will find many durian merchant which sells durian on their multicabs, some put it on a basket or some in their TRISIKAD along the road.


     




    A typical durian stall can be seen at Magsaysay Park, wherein lots of fruits are being displayed.

    Still Durian season here in Davao(durian season start in August and end by October). You can find it also at the supermarket, roadside stall or even a pick up/multicabs.

    We purchased two varieties of a durian, PUYAT and ARANCILLO.

    ARANCILLO is the oldest varieties of durian here in Davao City. Named after the former BPI-PhilFruits Director Vicente Arancillo. Considered the best variety of Davao durian because it has a milky and delectable taste, it is like your drinking a milkshake or a smoothies.

    My fave durian!

    ARANCILLO


    PUYAT it looks like an over riped durian because of its golden yellow color.  A deliciously creamy and very sweet yet mild scent durian with a floral coloration.

    PUYAT
    Mysterious Fruits maybe because of the health benefits it gives us.







    Here you only need to stand up while eating your durian.

    BIG MOUTH for our DURIAN!

    We used biodegradable plastic cellophane in holding our durian pods to spare us from the stinky smell.




    Though durian received mixed reviews, considered it a delicacy or nuisance because of its strong pungent odor, but the durian flesh taste so great that makes you crave for more!

    Durian is famously called the "King of All Fruits", and all who share is REWARDED.  Thanks so much Sis Che for sharing this wonderful Durian Party experience, the most superlative feeding experience in my durian entire life! Hahahahaha......


    Tang Sweet Orange supports the "TreeVolution: Greening MindaNOW" movement, an attempt to break the current world record held in India for the most number of trees simultaneously planted in multiple locations.

    *PRESS RELEASE


    I was about to throw my old art stuff, then I remember that it can still re-use of my youngest daughter for her next art pieces activities in school so I store some important artworks for safe keeping.

    And so I was right, the next day Chelsea ask me to assist her to produce a storage for her paper exams, quizzes and assignment something that has 3 columns to hold long and short papers.

    To make a simple and easy DIY Portfolio you need to have a canvas of art panels(use here the old chipboard from the previous DIY), long folder, art wrapper, transparent duct tape, scissor, glue, pencil, stapler and ruler.




    First cut a chipboard with the same height with a long folder, then fold it and make a 3 column, then put two lines each fold for partition.



    This is how it appears when you fold it.




    Make a box to form a paper storage.





      






    Wrap it with art paper.

    A sturdy storage solution for quizzes, assignments and test papers.





    Simple and easy.  You can use any decorative papers to categorize multiple portfolios.

    Chelsea is using this to hold all her SUMMATIVE and PERIODICAL TEST PAPERS and ASSIGNMENTS.






      
    A brand new social networking went viral last Thursday, 25 of September.  And it was marked as the "anti-FACEBOOK" because it's ads FREE!




    ELLO was created as a "PRIVATE" social network and was recently opened its door on an invitational basis only.


    SCREENSHOT



    Many are curious that ELLO becomes most talked about topic today from USA and now here in the PHILIPPINES.


    (C) ELLO https://ello.co/warwicka


    I too was curious, so I take the chance to get information from ELLO. And was caught with their statement:


    ELLO doesn't sell ads. Nor do we sell data about you to third party.

    A bit curious about the no ad-policy! WHY?  read more HERE >>> WHY NO ADS.


    SCREENSHOT


    YOU ARE NOT A PRODUCT.  Yes! We are not a product indeed that is why I like this new concept/platform from ELLO and I want to be part of this new and trending social networking site.

    Thanks to PAUL BUDNITZ, BERGER & FOHR and MODE SETS for this creative collaboration, for this we can socialize, make friends and be part of a viral site that will not lead us to sell and collecting our personal data, representing our social links/connections for profit, indeed that is too creepy and thus unethical!

    According to ELLO, if we join the site they will just collect information related to our per visits, this way they can get information that can help understand how people interact and to make ELLO a better site. 


    To join ELLO, you need to have a friend or someone that is already in the network. Or you can REQUEST an invitation by visiting ELLO.


    SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL AND ADS-FREE!  


    Hope they can fulfill their promises, to make ELLO purely a social networking site and not a mere advertising and promotional platform propaganda.

    Hi guys!  Just an UPDATE here!!!!  

    For almost 2 months of waiting, finally I got an invite from @budnitz of ELLO via email.




    Excited to see what's really inside the newest and most trending social network this year.

    I hurriedly open the link and ta-daaa....



    Browsing now and yes, they are right! Their platform is so SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL and AD-FREE indeed!




    Just posted 3 links from my blog site, this is another way of sharing my post! I love it though you've seen here that I have not gained FRIENDS yet, but I am POSITIVE that people from ELLO will see me and make some NOISE( a form of a SHOUT OUT).

    So what are you waiting for, discover the new ways to say "HELLO" with heyÜ!

    In the early 2010 I bought my first Canon PIXMA MP250 printer specifically because it has a 3 in 1 spec and I just love it. The problem with my old unit was that when I convert it to a CISS(Continuous Ink Supply System)in order to enjoy immense savings on printer ink many problems arise just like it cannot print properly(paper jam), color print quality is just disappointing, very bad performance, etc. I payed a lot for it still the same problem occurred, wasted much of my time and money for its repair and maintenance alone.

    I decide to purchase a new printer, my first choice is to buy EPSON L110.  A printer that is already converted into a CISS, so it yields superb savings for only PHp4,995. But I have doubts with this product when I saw it personally.  Yes, the unit is a space saver, the problem is that (1) It cannot print different type of papers. (2) It is a single function printer, and I am looking for the same function I have with my previous unit. And lastly, (3) It only has a 1 year warranty. 

    Another EPSON brand that has a 3 in 1 spec printer, EPSON L210. So like it, it has also a space saver design, an all-in-one printer, already converted to CISS and it has a 1 year warranty. Only problem is that it is too expensive for me, the price rate is PHp7,795. 

    I've budgeted my money, I need to buy lower than PHp7K+.

    So I look for another brand that can perfectly satisfy me. Bought it at MicroValley-Gaisano South Mall Branch, a bit bulky but with printer, scanner and copier this brand is seem indestructible for only PHp4,950 and take note it has a 2 YEAR WARRANTY. Isn't it great?

    BROTHER DCP-J100 InkBenefit





    A printer for all in one use(copier, scanner and ink jet printer), this can be a quality and value for a budget mother like me.

    BROTHER DCP-J100 is very affordable. It has a low ink cost and deliver a super high page-yield InkBenefit cartridges, this is like your printer is already converted into a CISS.








    It has a Reduce Ink wastage with an individual ink cartridge system that allows you to replace only the empty cartridge.

    Refillable ink cost only PHp390 each.

    It can print:

    BLACK - 2400* pages
    COLORED - 1300* pages



    Approximately the cartridge yield is declared in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711.


    DIMENSION: 435 (W) x 374 (D) x 161 (H) mm
    WEIGHT : 7.1 Kg

    Just to see personally the sample print of this product, I myself tried and print a colored picture using an ordinary type of a paper and this is the result.



    Not bad and as of now I am very satisfied with the printer I bought.

    Inside the box it has an installer CD guide, a manual and all supplies and accessories for the printer.



    In my case regarding the installation process. I have a defective CD/ROM in my computer so I have to look for a link that will permit me to download the DCP-J100 Installer. 

    And thanks so much to BROTHER for helping me out during the installations.

    By the way, Brother Printer support SAVE Mother Earth advocacy called the BROTHER EARTH. When you see ENERGY STAR® means that this is to work together to take care our planet by helping conserve energy and reduce our electricity bills at home and work environment by having a SLEEP MODE Function it automatically reduces our energy/power consumption, that only powers up when you need to print.

    A special thanks to MicroValley for giving me a PHp500 Discount coupon + a gift. Meaning I only pay PHp4,450.  Great savings indeed!




    If you need an all in one printer right this minute, either for work or for home that is affordable and includes cost and time saving features choose BROTHER DCP-J100 Multifunction Printer.
