UBER: Unlocking Cities Together

I have been an Uber user since 2014. Has it just been 3 years? Well, I felt it was longer to be honest - why? Because I don't usually commute here in the country. I drive a car and I like driving - even if its traffic.

I took my first ride last 2014. I even documented it on this post - My first Uber ride. I racked up credits from that first Uber ride and when it ran out, I still preferred and used Uber ALL THE TIME. I need to emphasize that I am an Uber user. I love Uber. I love how convenient it is. I don't need to drive, I don't need to worry about having an empty gas tank while stuck in traffic. I don't need to stress myself thinking of where to park and a whole lot more. It's so convenient really.

At first, I thought - what was Uber's end game? I really didn't understand the concept to be honest - it was for me just an app I could use to transport me to places. At first, it didn't dawn on me the conveniences that I had been experiencing. I took the convenience for granted. When Uber was suspended months ago - it was only then that I appreciated what Uber really was to me.

Last year when we came back from a trip, we were not picked up by the driver because of miscommunication on the time. We were worried because we had luggages, big luggages, we had two kids in tow - and my Panget initially thought to just hire a taxi right there and then. I told him no - I told him, I'd try and book an Uber. We were very lucky because I was able to book us an Uber Black - successfully. And you know what else? Well, I left my phone on that Uber ride. And guess what - I got my phone back the next day. And I posted this on my blog too - The goodness of an Uber Driver because I was so proud and happy. THIS IS WHY I UBER.

Uber has been my partner in transport since 2014 and I am with them ALL THE WAY. I will support them and help them in anyway I can because I believe in their vision.

Here is an video made by Uber. Watch it and realize that - hey, this happens in real life - especially here in the Philippines! The video makes perfect sense. It's funny but it's reality.

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 full functioning

#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 think I can w

#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 something up with just ing
