Souvenir Gift For An Old Time Friend

Since I just arrived home for my vacation, I was thinking of visiting an old time friend and a former colleague.  I heard that she's doing fine now with her new found profession.  We both resigned from our previous company 5 years ago as soon as it closed down it's operations due to some unforeseen problems.  I was able to find my way to a new company in Cambodia and my friend has moved on to a new accounting job and since then, became a part time college instructor.  I was happy for her as she was able to find a job that she truly enjoys.  We used to be together giving seminars to all employees before as we are both members of the company's trainer's guild.  I remembered how happy we are every time we are scheduled to give seminar as it's really fun to meet different people within the company and engaged in a fruitful discussion during our seminar work shop.  As I wasn't able to bring something for her from my place of work abroad, I am just thinking of ordering name plaques at QuickNameTags.com. I've found some great personalized designs that I'm sure she would truly love.

I know that visiting her at home or perhaps organizing a small dinner at a simple restaurant would suffice but somehow, I also knew that a personalized gift will truly warms her heart.  After all, we haven't seen each other quite long and I just wanted to make this meet up a truly memorable one.  Rekindling an old time friendship is always nice as old friends will always be a part of our life and memories.

Creamy Buttered Mixed Vegetables With Quail Eggs

Image
I wanted to try my hand at cooking this creamy buttered mixed vegetables with quail eggs, one of the dish cooked and served during my son's birthday. I got curious because my son told me that this was the first dish to finish from all the dishes served. I have seen this served on some parties that I have attended before but I wanted to try doing it myself.

This is very easy and can be done in very simple steps:

Ingredients :

1/2 Kilo Mixed Vegetables
1 Can Nestle Cream
2 Dozen Quail Eggs
1/4 kg Sweet Ham
Garlic Butter

Procedure:

Saute the mixed vegetables in garlic butter, add the sliced ham and quail eggs. Pour 1 can of nestle cream onto the fried mixed vegetables, stir for 5 mins and it's done.

Easy right? This dish doesn't cost much, easy to prepare, nutritious and delicious.

A winner! :)

SSS Flexi Funds For OFW's

Few months ago, I'd been contemplating with the idea of contributing to SSS Flexi Fund For OFW's. But the problem is...I haven't reactivated my contributions yet with SSS since I started working overseas. I'm planning to work on it when I go back to Philippines to take my vacation.
I came across this SSS Flexi Fund when I still have the Filipino channel here in my work place which is NBN 4 from which I always had the chance to watch "Bantay OCW" by Susan K. There is a segment there wherein the Chairman of SSS will be interviewed by Susan K to give updates on the latest projects and developments at SSS. This is where I first encountered about the SSS Flexi Fund for OFW's.
The way I look at it, it is an investment opportunity created by SSS for overseas Filipino contract workers to encourage them to save for the future. It is a provident fund and all accumulated amounts of contributions plus interests will be accrued solely to the OFW member. The funds po…

Reactivating My SSS Membership

One of the things in my bucket list for 2012 is to reactivate my SSS membership which I discontinued since I resigned from the last company that I've worked with in the Philippines.  I resigned 2nd quarter of 2007 and decided to try my luck as an OFW.  I did not intentionally want to discontinue my membership.  It's just that I was too busy and preoccupied at that time and this thing had slipped off my mind.  It was only late last year that I finally gained back my interest in reactivating my account with SSS but still, I was only able to start this year (lol).  Anyway, better late than never.   Since I belong to the maximum bracket of SSS contribution already from my previous employer and upon checking the contributions required for OFW's, I've seen that I just have to continue the same amount of my previous contribution  from my last company.  The only difference is that last time, my company pays for the other 50% of the monthly contribution.  Now, as an OFW, I will…
