oist! we forgot the lights! sowee

mao! sige lang i will find a way to get those.

I discovered something new. I cook with brown rice now, instead of white. I steered clear of brown rice before because it costs twice what white rice costs, pero twice man pud iya tubo. So it comes out the same, plus it's healthier.

Its not really being frugal because the end cost is the same. But I get more value for my money's worth, diba?

mao ba, twice diay iyang tubo? mag brown rice nya ko

naku namute kay ang alam lang na word ay..... UP!!! hahahaha

Yup, yup... But you have to soak the rice in water a little longer before you put it on the stove. Sometimes more than twice man ang tubo... Definitely worth the cost.

that is the imported variety noh sis?

[DebutsAndIDos]

Hmmm, not sure kung imported or not. Katong brown rice na baligya sa Macro. Dili siguro imported kay P170/ 5 kilos man iya price. Not too steep... I'll try to check the brand later.

^that's 34/kilo...not bad considering healthier jud ang brown rice.

oist sis, this just popped...if you are open to bartering, just tell me...i'll give you the books for items I might need/like...no exchange of cash then. i thought this would be a better idea. we give our unused items more life (and use), and we save our hard-earned cash. tell me what you think.

and to the other readers...how do you like to barter? feel free to post here

Sure, it's a great idea! Hmmm, what are your interests? Para I'll know what to look for... I have a lot of books din, mostly child-rearing.
