PhilAmLife Insurance Educational Plan and chosing the right Agent

2011-07-31T21:31:00.000-07:00

Being a Shaw Boulevard regular does not necessarily mean that I am just a nobody who doesn't know anything about life insurance. In fact, I stumbled upon an agent from a previous personal experience of mine with my wifey and it made it clear to me that eventhough you are suppost to invest on trust for your insurance application to a provider or a company with prestige and trust in their name, there are insurance agents that you cannot really rely on when it comes to remittance of your insurance premium.

Indeed, it is harder to put your trust on a worthy agent rather than on the company with which he or she serves. Why? Just like I told you, on a personal experience, we were able to stumble upon an insurance agent who doesn't remit some (if not all) her customer's premiums. What happens if this occurs to you or your account, then?

Well, the insurance company, which happened to be PhilAm Life has our daughter's account having short payments. little by little because we filed for a loan using our daughter's educational plan, it ate up all the remaining balances we ever paid for for at least 5 years of my working life as an rank and file employee. It was such a waste to not be able to chose carefully who the agent will be for our remittance although we had our own shortcommings by not being able to pay on time, you can avoid it by checking on the professional profile of your insurance agent.

As for me and my wife, there will never be a wait and see with regards to paying and chosing the right agent. I learned in my experience that you should be the one to go check on the agent's profile in the company to which he or she serves as part of your obligation as the payee, you should check on a regular basis if your agent did remit the payment you are giving to him/ her. This way, you may be able to avoide what actually happened to me and my wife wherein at least 4 payments were not remitted under our daughter's educational plan.

Delicious Chinese restaurant in Ongpin: Never as special as before

2011-07-14T23:32:00.000-07:00

Somewhere in the heart of Ongpin is where you can find one of the oldest running Chinese restaurant called Delicious. Not so sure today what it is called as the original deli became not so delicious anymore just like the old days. The chef who cooks must've been a new one and the old cooks must've found another place to stay or work with.

I remember back when I used to work in the old Hotel Mirador in San Marcelino, now called Manila Prince Hotel (MPH) One of the guards in the hotel had his wife working in Delicious restaurant and we occasionally buy their special Pancit Miki Bihon to eat at night when the hotel is already closed of the construction going on.

Every Christmas celebration we had there was full of deli from Delicious restaurant from Pata Tim to their special Pancit and fried chicked special. Today, me and my wife went there and we were so surprised that the restaurant doesn't use (babasaging plato) breakable plates anymore. They gave us the non-breakable glass and plates and the taste of the food is not as delicious as before.

But in fairness, the Special Pancit is still special and good in taste. It just lost the bit of soupy creamy texture upon order.

Shaw Boy goes to Bliss Fruit Trees by Bernie Dizon

Are you looking to buy exotic fruit trees? Chokanan Mango, Longkong Lanzones, Golden Queen, Nandukmai, Rongrein Rambutan, Luz Calamansi, Latexless Jackfruit, Variegated Chico, Davao Pomelo, Macopa variety and more... Well, we went to the Bernie Dizon small pwesto in UP and bought some for personal backyard farming.

Me and my wife Ana enjoyed taking a look at the small (shall i call it) farm of the Dizons and we love looking at the fruit trees they are selling out there.

Show me yours I'll show you mine

I've had quite a few adventures myself talking about romance. I've been to jeepney hot seat with middle aged ladies but what I loved most is sitting right next to a fellow student from another university while taking the jeepney ride home to Caloocan where I live. I am by nature a romatic shaw boy (showy) so I make sure that my everyday life is full of fun and lovable moments to remember and keep in my thoughts as happy thoughts.

I love nature and I love recalling happy moments I can only call nostalgic ones. I've been to different sorts of funny tragedies in life and what I loved most is the pressure of it. Feeling the adrenalin coming and the hot blood flowing in the head and the body.

I love to travel by car when it is raining. The reason is because very few motorcycles are out to ride in the rain. The riders are the most undisciplined drivers in the Philippines and this is why I so hate traveling with these people on the street.

I've shown quite a few of mine, how about you showing yours?

Well, this means nothing, just some random thoughts about the numbers and a ration and proportion of what I used to get back when we were kids with our share of the egg on the table.

Better Days

2007-12-15T00:56:00.000-08:00

So what do better days mean to me? Well, literally? nothing! Except for a few facts that I was really never have gotten over with like the times I've spent with myself thinking of this beautiful girl in F.G Calderon a year higher than I in high school. Her name is Minda and my ate used to make fun of her name calling her Minda Mora for some reason I find funny just saying the name.

Anyway, it's just an old time long ago crush I had back in high school. Never saw the girl after she graduated. Even during the grand alumni reunion to which I never thought about looking for her somewhere in the crowd, i never saw her. It's just part of a happy memory not going home straight even after school because I had to go watch her march with her model platoon in CAT. Her real name by the way is Melinda.

Wet Dreams!

2007-08-15T01:01:00.000-07:00

Have you had wet dreams? If not, you must've not noticed your adolescent stage is over. You must've not dreamed at all. Worse, you could have been somebody else, not a man (you know what i mean).

Do these numbers ring a bell? Yes to me! but with you? Well, you bet this rings a bell. It's just that you can't or you refuse to remember what these numbers stand for in your life.

Here's how it is for me... Ever remember riding the jeep back in college days when there is no seat available and you wanted to go home earlier to watcht That's Entertainment? This is when 123 gets in.

Get it?
