Toilet Phobia (part 2)

I never thought I would have to write about this for the second time. Following my previous entry, I have been having diarrhea for almost 2 weeks now so I have finally decided to see a doctor. Doctor's diagnosis, amoebiasis. =(

Toilet Phobia (part 1)

I've been looking all over for the appropriate term for fear of toilets but parcopresis seems to be the most suitable word for me.

Yesterday, I had to conquer this fear when nature called for it thrice! And the culprit was Pan de Manila's pan de ube which I had last Friday night. =(

When disaster strikes, are you ready?

It was not so long ago when the Philippines was hit by two tropical storms, Ketsana & Parma, last 2009. These storms have brought some regions in Luzon in a state of calamity. Looking back, I wasn't prepared then and until now I haven't been ready when I know a disaster would eventually strike. During that time, a friend has forwarded to me the link to 72hours.org. This website contains helpful information on disaster preparation.
I've been procrastinating on packing my go-bag. It didn't occur (again) to me until last night's attack of flying cockroaches which made me go nuts as these are tell-tale signs of an upcoming earthquake.

So, what should be in your go-bag?

There is no such thing as "No Return, No Exchange" policy

You read it right. Under Philippine laws, there is no such thing as a "No Return, No Exchange" policy.

I'm off to SM Megamall in a while to return or exchange a newly purchased laptop cooling fan. I learned so much about this deceptive policy as I was looking for strong (legal) words to say in case Company X (which I will reveal if they'll give me hard time on this) insists the "No Return, No Exchange" line.
