2BU Soup Kitchen
Pam Pastor from 2BU is asking for help in a soup kitchen project for the kids of Payatas on the 16th of December.
I really don’t need to elaborate how we should keep the less fortunate brothers and sisters in mind this Christmas, or reiterate how lucky we are compared to these people in spite of all our problems.
What I want to stress is that when we give, we give because we are sincere, not because everyone else is hopping on the bandwagon as if it is some fad to be involved with charitable acts.
My objective was to post this before payday because I know a lot of you are short on cash now since its the final stretch of the pay week. The Christmas shopping doesn’t help too. Here’s to brightening the Christmas of several kids!
Anyway, here’s an excerpt from Pam’s email:
Here are the NGO’s bank account details, just in case you want to make your deposits directly:
For peso donations:
Prudential Bank
Retiro Branch, N.S. Amoranto St., Quezon City
Savings Account No. 01043-010963-0
For the account of: Lighthouse Center for Children Foundation, Inc.For U.S. dollar donations:
Prudential Bank
Retiro Branch, N.S. Amoranto St., Quezon City
US Dollars S/A # 05043-001046-7
For the account of: Lighthouse Center for Children Foundation, Inc.Donations in kind are welcome as well. Rice, mongo, seasonings, vegetables – I will be collecting them until Thursday so we can have enough time to prepare them before we go to the soup kitchens on Friday.
If you wish to go with us, please e-mail me at pajammy at gmail dot com or ppastor at inquirer dot com dot ph.
Her original message can be located here.
I’m trying to organize something now with the HIP staff. Though I believe in more sustainable efforts to help communities, these soup kitchens are a good way to open people’s eyes to the reality that 90% of the country’s population is below the hamburger index.

WiFi 7 ready TP-Link Archer BE230 router is only P5,990
I’ve learned the hard way that setting up your home WiFi system might be a little trickier than expected. In fact, the only time you know that everything works perfectly is when you don’t notice it’s working well: your movies are streaming, your downloads are working, your games have great ping. But once your connection chokes, it’s as if you’re on a bus and the driver makes a sudden stop, hurling you into one big inconvenience.

Nothing wrong with asking

Whiskey galore and more — 3 tips for alcohol tourists in Scotland
If you’re rather fond of a drink at social occasions, with meals or even as a post-work relaxant, it’s possible that you’ve sampled some of the fine alcoholic beverages that originate in Scotland.
According to trade figures from the Scottish Government, Scotch whisky exports from the UK to the rest of the world in 2017 totaled £4.359 billion in 2017 — a £356 million increase on the year before.
But, although ‘the water of life’ is Scotland’s most famous alcoholic gift to the world, the nation also produces superb gin and craft beer.
If you visit, you’ll be able to break up time at the bar with cuisine treats at cafes and restaurants, golf at some of the best courses on Earth and strolls through stunning countryside and charming cities like Edinburgh.
If sipping these treats from the source while savoring one of the world’s most beautiful nations sounds sublime, here are three tips for alcohol tourists in Scotland.
-
Getting there
Depending on your departure point, you can reach Scotland from major US airports or with itineraries with layovers in places like Hong Kong and Bangkok.
But one of the best ways to get in a carefree mood for a Caledonian trip is to travel to the airport in your own vehicle — it’s far less hassle than unreliable journeys on packed public transport.
Book airport parking from Looking4.com and drop your ride off in a secure space before boarding your flight. You’ll shimmy towards check-in without a worry in the world, perfectly prepped for your very own highland fling holiday.
-
Dewar’s
There are whisky distilleries dotted all around mainland Scotland and the Highlands and Islands, but Dewar’s distillery tour in Aberfeldy near Perth is a promising first stop, thanks to its location in striking distance of the country’s busy central belt.
You’ll learn all about the way Dewar’s whisky has been cleverly marketed worldwide across several generations and taste some terrific blends right from the barrel — all in a stunning setting tucked between rolling hills in a verdant valley.
Be sure to travel with a designated driver or book a taxi if you’re sampling the whisky’s on offer — drink driving laws in Scotland are appropriately stringent.
-
Innis & Gunn
With a wide range of craft beers that includes tasty IPAs and a refreshing small batch lager brewed with naked golden oats, Innis & Gunn is one of Scotland’s foremost brands for ale aficionados.
And their distinctive pint glasses featuring the iconic stag’s head logo is frequently ‘liberated’ from pubs across the land.
You can sample the full range of beers from Innis & Gunn with high-quality bar meals at their beer kitchens in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow — but remember that their most popular products are also available at local pubs where they’re priced slightly more reasonably.
These three tips for alcohol tourists in Scotland are only the tip of a drink-soaked iceberg — you’ll find more imbibing inspiration in practically every town and city you visit.
So do a little research, drink sensibly and have the time of your life in bonnie Scotland.

This will not only save you precious time, but lots of money, too.

Buy new kitchen products
A good kitchen is synonym with a good house. It is one of the main things potential buyers will look at when they look at your renovated house, so make sure all of the kitchen appliances you own are brand new, or at least, brand new looking. Consider buying new appliances that will make it look good and alive, such as a Vitamix blender or a new fridge.

Tips for a Successful Virtual Doctor’s Appointment
So, you have decided to take the plunge and have a consultation via the internet. While this is a great tool to use, it can also be a bit intimidating, especially for those who have tried something like this before. Now, it is important to maximize your time with your healthcare professional. This will lead to a more accurate diagnosis and will also help you to understand how to take care of yourself better. To make sure that your consultation is a success, here are some of the tips that you can rely on:
Choose a Physician Close to You
Sure, thanks to the internet, you can speak to a medical expert that is thousands of miles away. However, it is often better to choose someone who is a little closer to home. Fortunately, this is something that you can do since there are numerous services that let you contact someone close to you. For instance, you should be able to find Ontario family doctors in Toronto, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Kingston, Kitchener, Markham and other locations.
Make it a point to find a healthcare professional that is nearby to you, regardless of where you live. If you live in British Columbia, you can locate BC family physicians serving Vancouver, Victoria, Surrey, Richmond, Port Coquitlam, Langley and other cities in British Columbia. So, don’t be afraid to do a little bit of digging and look around.
Gather Information Beforehand
It is a good idea to do a little bit of prep work before the consultation is underway. In particular, you should consider making a note of all of the symptoms that you are currently or were previously exhibiting. Write down exactly how you felt and what happened afterwards. This way, you will not forget to mention anything important during your appointment. You may also want to take photographs of cuts, boils, or rash so that you can send it separately to your medical expert. This will allow them to see it more clearly.
If possible, try to gather up some medical records that you may have had from previous doctors as well. This will provide your current healthcare professional with some important insight into your general health and condition.
Pay Attention and Make Clarifications
It is easy to zone out when someone isn’t right in front of you. However, it is imperative that you pay attention to what your doctor is telling you. This is the only way that you will be able to understand what is actually going on and thus treat yourself accordingly. Now, sometimes, you may be plagued with a poor internet connection. If you feel like the conversation has gotten stuck or skipped, make sure to say something. Always have your physician repeat what you felt you have missed. This will make sure that you receive any important diagnosis or information that you require.
These are some of the things that you need to keep in mind when attending a virtual consultation. This way, you will be able to make the most out of it and will be on your way to feeling better in no time at all.
