It was Christmas of 2010 when out of the blue, we decided to buy 2 150 square meters lot. It was really a spur of the moment decision and we end up paying the other lot in full while the other lot, we opted for a 2 year payment scheme (and we’re broke after that haha). Eventually, we decided that we’re not pushing through with our plans (well, as of now), and instead of building a house on the lot(s) we bought 2 years ago, we think it would be wiser to build/buy a house here in the Metro. When we’re done paying for the other lot, that would be the time that we will start looking for home mortgage company that would help us to decide which will be the better option for us. Mortgage has become the generic term for loan, but we know that in mortgage, there is always a collateral before you can avail of a loan.

There are so many reasons why we decided to live here midst  the flood that we had experienced 3 years ago. For one, we love the school here. We also love the fact that it feels like we’re in living in the province but it will only take a few minutes to access the city’s center.

As a child, I remember that I used to go to the dentist alone. I guess the thought of eating an ice cream after tooth extraction excites me. And that’s where I got the courage to go to the dentist alone. Of course, I want my kids to have the same courage as mine, not necessarily going to the dentist alone, but you know, at least not crying while sitting on the “chair”. I admit though, sitting on the dental chair makes me anxious. I guess that feeling will never go away, even if the dental clinic is as good as western dental. It must be the needles or the gadgets or the just like an ant bite (not!) anticipation.

From our recent visit to the dentist, I was told that the earlier you expose them to the dentist the better. As early as one tooth appear, bring them to the dentist just for familiarization sake. Bring them to the dentist every now and then every 2 months for the first 2 years and more frequent as their teeth starts to show signs of decay. I also learned that girls are braver than boys (as mentioned by our dentist, based on their patients most likely), so I guess I have to be prepared with screams and nos with my boys.

Out of 50+ answers, only 9 got it right… using Random.org, I got the names of our winners, each will be receiving a pack of Fedhz Polvoron. why polvoron and not Padron cigars? read on!

The pen name or online nick Pehpot comes from my real life nickname which is PEH, but it is often mistake as Fe or Beth so I decided to use Pehpot.. pot is usually add on names as endearment or a form of teasing, anyone can have pot, say Kaye.. Kayepot or Fedhz, Fedhzpot (ay ang sagwa! hahaha) so there..

I have been using this nick since the day I started making an online presence (hello Multiply).. used it in almost all my social networking accounts, and as you can see, even on my url. Then I met Fedhz, who called me Kuya Pehpot.. it’s really fun (so that’s why the prize has to be Fedhz’ Polvoron).. but that didn’t bother me that much..

Yes, that is the reason why I added Mommy to my nick.. so as not to be mistaken as a MAN.. which is often the case, it would always be Mr. Pehpot.. what prompted me to add Mommy is the fact that every 4 package I received, 3 is for MR. PEHPOT.. really funny! hahahaha.. I guess it has something to do with the Don Pepot (the comedian) that I am mistaken as a man. Now you, know, I am not Don Pepot, I am Donya Pehpot or simply Mommy Pehpot 🙂
