Maynilad Holy Week Water Interruption Advisory

This morning my sister called me to tell that there will be a water interruption this coming holy week. Timing that we have no plan on going out of the Metro Manila. We were planning to stay in Manila for the Holy Week. It’s super  hot lately, well its summertime. We can’t live without water for sure. We have options to save water or go on short trip.

The water interruption is due to Department of Public Works and Highways’  construction of an interceptor drainage box culvert along Blumentritt St.  in Manila City to eliminate flooding in the Metro. This project will cross the pipeline of the Maynilad water pipe, that’s why they need to re-align the pipe  prior to the construction of that project of DPWH. It will be from April 16 to 19,2014. But don’t get me wrong the water interruption has schedule so better check the schedule in your area. It is not a whole three days of no water supply. Please read the complete schedule from Maynilad .

For those who had no plan to go on trip this holy week, we still have time to look for a nice get away. Goodluck to us.

The Importance of having a Portable Hard Drive

At last I have a portable hard drive. It’s been awhile that I was contemplating of buying one. For the reasons that:

We travel often and we usually save our pictures in the laptop, compact discs, flash drive, tablets, and office pc. I want to organize all the pictures and files in one storage device;

Saving huge  file in the laptop makes it slower and the files are prone to virus too;

I can easily carry all my files since portable hard drive can be easily carried wherever I would be. Even on travel can be easily put inside my bag;

Lastly I am moving out. I need to compile and save all my files.

Having a 500GB capacity is more than enough to save all my files. This model of Toshiba Canvio Connect  is easy to operate. Literally plug and play no need for power cable. No much hassle. Usb cable is just a foot and the size of the hard drive is just as huge as a palm. Light and easy to use.

Actually I used it already and all my files from my laptop were transferred to it. Next is my file from my office’s personal computer and from the huge file of CDS. LOL goodluck to me.

Delivery Experience from Lazada, an on line shopping website

Yesterday,  Saturday April 5,2014, I got an email from Lazada, an online shopping website,  that there would be a fireworks of vouchers, which would be released at 4:00pm that day. The vouchers should be redeemed  on that day itself and can be used for all items in the website. To avail the vouchers there are certain minimum amount of purchased:

For 2000 voucher the minimum purchase is 8000 pesos

For 1000 voucher the minimum purchase is 5000 pesos.

For 500 voucher the minimum purchase is 2000 pesos.

For 200 voucher the minimum purchase is 1000 pesos.

Since it’s been awhile that I wanted to buy portable hard drive, I grabbed the opportunity to  order on-line. I chose the Toshiba Canvio Connect V7 with a capacity of 500GB. The original price was 2,500 pesos but with 500 pesos discounts voucher I had to pay 2,000 pesos. Huge savings right?  I got so excited that I didn't notice my order was on cash on delivery option, I just clicked it right away.  Lol I had to force myself to pay it in cash then. But I just think of the discount it’s okay. Lesson  learned.

The usual delivery for Metro Manila   is 1-2 days that’s why I was thinking it might be on Monday,  April 7,2014 but to my surprise around 1:00pm today, April 6 the delivery man from 2GO a courier company, was calling me, he was on his way to deliver my order.  Less than 24 hours my order  is delivered. Great  service. Good job Lazada, hope it will always be like that. Fast and efficient.
