Telegram Messenger

When I got my first smartphone - I remember being told to make sure to get Viber.  And then my foreign friends said that they use Whatsapp.  So, I got that too!  But between the two, I have always been partial to Whatsapp - but most of those in my contact list are using Viber, I had no choice.



During the last half of 2014.  I have begun to notice that Viber does not deliver all of the messages sent over its app.  I thought it was impossible - but it was.  And then some images and videos take too long to load.  Then private groups began to have strangers in their group.  I didn't think it was possible since it was a *private* group.  Then the ads - the sudden messages from Viber announcing this and that.  As the months passed, the loading of messages took very long too.  There would be notifications that you have an X number of messages - then when it loads, you get 1 out of the X number of messages.  These *late* messages appear days after it was sent.  How very unreliable for a free messaging service right?

Last month, I saw that a friend had the Telegram Messenger.  I decided to give it a try, so I downloaded it to my iPhone.  Then I was told by a friend that there is an app for desktop - so I also got it.  This friend said that Telegram Messenger syncs easily and is very reliable.

I have been using it for a few weeks now and I am very happy with it.  I get all the images and messages sent to me.  It loads faster compared to Viber.  Plus, since it's private - no one can join in your group!!  There are no advertisements too!

I hope that people switch.

Viber is so unreliable already.

Please make the switch and see why:


Try it out and see the difference!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
