Lesson for 1st quarter of 2012: In sickness and in health

-
Husbands and wives share so many aspects of their life together. Sickness is one of them. 


I recently had a swollen jaw accompanied with a fever. The fever and swollen jaw did not last for more than three days and the doctor said it was nothing serious. Well, nothing serious happened to me. But a few days after, my husband got a really high fever. It was only after three days that we got to consult a doctor and I had to take care of  my dear husband for more than three days. It was a severe case of tonsillitis. He quickly recovered after taking medicine and a long rest. 
  
After a month, I remembered my husband while he was taking anti-biotics, he looked at the receipt for his anti-biotics and asked me, "1,000 pesos for few tablets of anti-biotics? How will Filipinos afford to buy medicine?" Oh well, it was a good question but I still don't have the answer. For now, I know that we both have common colds. 

God is good! Looking forward for the 2nd quarter of 2012!

Marinduque, Philippines (Part 2): Glimpse of Boac, Marinduque

" If you want a vibrant night life, don't go to Boac or any place in Marinduque for that matter. Chances are you would get bored and head to Manila the morning after. If you want a peaceful night and experience the countryside but still have little semblance of sub-urban living, the Town Proper of Boac is the place for you."  -  yanx and vanz Marinduque is sometimes referred to as the Heart of the Philippines due partly to it's shape and geographical location. Boac is the provincial capital of Marinduque. Since we are still mourning, we decided to take a closer look at Boac and skip other beautiful destinations of the province for the meantime. Grid pattern, anyone? Like any town proper in rural Philippines, the town proper of Boac seem to impose an automatic curfew on itself. Stores and restaurants are closed by 6PM save for a few establishments like Mercury Drug and some sari-sari stores. Streets are very peaceful except for some night owls

Afternoon Tea Buffet Table We wanted to escape the summer heat without going to the malls or heading to the beach and breaking our wallets. We immediately called the Peninsula Manila Lobby for reservations after remembering that the renewal member's benefit of Peninsula Manila Card includes a complimentary afternoon tea buffet for two at the Lobby of Peninsula Manila. Pretty plates and teacups Beautiful Teapot It was our very first time to experience an afternoon tea buffet here. As soon as we were ushered to our table, we instantly remembered little girls playing tea party upon seeing the tea cups and tea pots. The server asked for our preferred drinks. We asked for a juice and a tea. A milk was also given probably to partner with the chamomile tea.
