Good Bye Pinas!


October 28 marks the last day of my vacation in the Philippines but it also signifies the beginning of my one week vacation at Bangkok with my kids.  It’s so sad to leave home once again.  I’ll be terribly missing a lot of things.  Nothing can beat the true comfort and relaxation brought about by your own home.  The feeling is really different.  

Anyway, life has to move on.  I have to go back to my commitments at work.  Before doing so, I have to fulfill my promise to my kids that I will treat them for a week  long vacation at Bangkok.  I wouldn’t be home for Christmas so this would be my Christmas treat and gift to them.  At least, I could spend time with them for their Christmas shopping.  

Both my son and daughter were really excited for the trip.  It’s going to be their first time in Bangkok and they’ve heard a lot about the place which made them really look forward for the trip.  Exactly after lunch last Oct 28, their things were all ready.



Lucio was excited for our trip but he felt sad too as he will be left at home (lol)

It was our first time to take a flight from Clark Airport as we used to take a flight from Manila.  It’s also my first time to try Tiger Airways.  I used to take Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines.  Wow, everything is first.  You could just imagine how much excitement do we have.  As a matter of fact, I felt more excited in our trip to Bangkok that when we had our trip to Hoh Chi Min City Vietnam.  Our flight was delayed for about an hour but finally, we were able to take the flight.



We arrived at Bangkok  past 9 PM.  Kids were truly amazed at Bangkok’s Subharnavumi Airport.  It’s very huge, nice and well organized.  Well, far better than our airport in Manila and the ones that I’ve tried at Vietnam and even at Siem Riep in Cambodia.





We’ve decided to take a quick dinner at the airport before we’ve finally decided to proceed to the hotel were we had our booking for our one week stay.  There are lots of restaurants in the airport but as expected, the price is a little bit higher than the normal.  I paid almost THB500 (around $17) for 3 orders of very basic meal.





 

The trip was a bit tiring but our excitement didn't allow us to feel that way.  After that quick dinner, we immediately find our way out from the airport.  We took the Airport Link to Phaya Thai Station.  This station is very close to our hotel.

We ended up reaching our hotel at around 10PM.  It was a long day but we are full of enthusiasm in welcoming our second day to Bangkok the following day.

Hope you can get back to know more about Bangkok and our adventures.

Ciao!

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…
