I can read through your posts that you are a wise person who think of ways on how to be able to economize and be able to save a lot when purchasing insurances and the like.

Actually, we don’t have those accident insurances. Although, when you ride a bus going to Manila, you will be made to choose if your buy an insurance for only 20 pesos (US$ .02), good only in case you met an accident on that trip.

Even airplanes have insurance coverage inclusive of the airfare paid.

We also have our accident insurance coverage for each employees at the office.

＠Dina，ｓｏ　do you buy the insurance when ride the bus?

Some people develop love and like for old things. This is no doubt a good hobby. There is no guarantee we always will be on the profit side. Sometimes we will incur heavy loss also. But, the chances for the latter are less.
Yes. The price of the old ones will be half of the new ones. It is also true that most of the machinery will have good quality material wise than the new ones.
I had a good experience. I got Manual singer sewing machine which is of 60 years old. We were not using it. I wanted to use it. So took it to the servicing center. The mechanic was an expert. He just saw it and asked ‘WHY WAS IT KEPT IDLE FOR THE LAST 40 TO 50 YEARS”. I told him the reason He asked for the machine and was ready to pay Rs.6000/- as is where is a condition. I did not accept for that and got it repaired. Now it is perfect.
Similarly, the story of my St.Thomas Wall Clock which is really 150 years old. My grandfather purchased it in those British days.
I really enjoy to have them and take good care of the above two items.

Good article. We have in the States a similar location. We call these places Thrift stores. They are designed to raise funds for the homeless and needy. Rich people contribute to these centers and you can find clothes with the receipt tag with it in good conditions. Plus, if you do your homework right, you can find good antique items in which you can sell for a profit. My wife and I have shopped at these places and we have gotten good deals,especially with the clothes. These places are good because not only do you get super deals but your funds helps out those in need. It is a win-win deal!

Mr. Siva, those antique lovers look for profits and it towards old coins, paper money, stamp, antique furniture, etc.
Me, just for fun and own collection, not much for profit. Haha!
Singer manual sewing machine is always the best, I believe, especially those old one, with 50 years and older. If you have an older, with 70 years old, I believe your must have a very nice flowery stand. This is what I always looking for and admired to, but yet get one with me so far. Sigh!
St. Thomas brand clock, I have no idea on the brand, but I just bought a digital Telesonic wall clock at USD4, we repaired it , it can play music and with some lights on , my kids are very happy with it. I believe, a new one could cost up to USD150 at least.

Yes, take well care of those antique items with sweet memory.

@Caleb, it’s win-win deal, but I not really go for profits, but most of the retires and furniture manufacturers come here and buy for re-cond those furniture for resell for profit.

So it’s also International Book Giving Day yesterday , February 14. I didn’t know that. All I know is that it was Valentine’s day yesterday.

That being the International Book Giving Day, we can hit two birds in one two when we give the children books on Valentine’s day. It means it’s a gift for Valentine’s Day and for International Book Giving Day.

@Dina, good idea! Does the kid need to celebrate Valentine’s Day too? I thought this is only the festival for adults? 😛

Anyway, hope the public will donate some books to the kids too beside gifting some roses to their lovers.

Hope I can donate more books to the children whom needed them too next year. Keep my figure crossed.

it is hard to say that, but if that is life then we have to accept it, some can not offer life also to their kids, little better than more, and as human we always want more and more, and that keep life going, to learn is great, but some learn in the schools and university but they are rude, no manners, life is the best and biggest school. if they can not learn from schools then learn from life, its better school any way, you can not live without life learning, experience and communicating is the best school in the life ever absolutely, so accept what you have and try to reach the sky but if you could not its ok try some thing else, no body at all ever ever ever has all the life offers, some has this and some has that, some has bigger quantity from this and some has less from that. Its life and thats it

Those are the reasons that attracted me to the site in the first place. There are many things we can do here to earn some change. Almost every thing you do will get you a little something, even logging in and that is a plus. There are sites where we take 2 days just to even get one cent and that is when we work hard enough.

I am hoping that this site will be the one for me to write and have fun reading blogs from everyone around here.

I am using this washing machine for the past 12 years This is great. So far I never had any trouble. It was a Top Loader. When I purchased it was the only model available with drier. A good mechanism that made the work easy. The speed and other activities are perfect. The credit goes to my wife who maintains it perfectly following the instructions meticulously. I am damn bored of this washing machine as it is giving looking dull. When I expressed it to my wife she kept it in her mind. A week back I saw a new washing machine. I thought that it was really a new one.
But, wife got the cover totally replaced.
I really surprise why couldn’t I get this idea.
I never had an opportunity to go for a new one.

What do you mean by side by side type of refrigerator. Is it the one with just one door and when you open the freezer has also its own door inside?

My in-laws refrigerator has just “died” a few years ago. They said that it served them for more Than 35 years already. Wow, how’s that for durability of a refrigerator. It is the two door and no frost type of refrigerator. The brand is Hitachi.

After that one died, we used our refrigerator which is as old as our daughter who is now 26. However, lately, it has been making a lot of frost already. Besides its door has no magnet anymore. It’s by G.E. Though it could still be operational had it not been of too much frost already and the door has no more magnet to make it close.

Hubby’s Auntie who lives with us plans to buy a big new one when her lump sum from SSS will arrive.

I must agree that those Japan made refrigerators are really so durable.

OK! This post is going in my collection for world cuisine. 🙂

@Treatheyl Fox, hope you will able to try it out one day. You may get a ready one in container sold in the supermarket during the Chinese festival season too, by luck.

good article, it will help a lot of people who is having issue of hair loss

This is good to know about it. I have never come across this soup. In the Andhra Pradesh state of India, the sesame seeds are used in the preparation of Black Sesame balls which is made using jaggery. This is a very strong diet. Generally, only one piece will be eaten.Otherwise, it will cause more heat in the body.

Another variety of balls is also prepared using While seeds. It will be very tasty and the seeds contain more oil in them.

This is a very rich source of vitamins and is good for Bones and hair. The hair loss can be prevented taking 1 Black Sesame Balls. During summer, it is not advisable to take it and must be deleted from the wish-list.

I have never eaten black sesame seeds. I’m shocked to learn you can even make a dessert with them. It sounds like interesting food.

@treathy, yes , most of us take the white sesame seeds, in fact, the black one contains more vitamins if compared to the white one. If not mistaken, the black one is more difficult to get in the market and more pricey a little bit.
The functions or the eating way of both are about the same, so we can put some fried black or white sesame seeds on top of the salads other than nuts too to meet it nice to smell and eat. More important, for consuming its nutrients.
In fat, sesame seeds is cheaper if compared to the nuts because most of the nuts are from Tropical countries but not Asian countries, thus they are not our local nuts, except groundnuts. 😛
@sivasubrahmanyam, the black sesame balls must be nice. Our Indian friends here make the ball with some green bean powder. You are right, variety of balls can be made and prepared with seeds/nuts powder.
@Leo Mei, yes, it can help in hair loss problem.
