Win an Electrolux Washing Machine with Delightful-E Simple to Save

Electrolux will launch Delightful-E Simple to Save contest that will run from August 11 – September 15, 2014

For every money and time well-spent and save, we feel good, right? Imagine how, with the chores we (love or dread to) do, we are able to save BOTH money and time, wouldn’t you just say “It is indeed Delightful-E Simple to Save“.

With this in mind, Electrolux Philippines Facebook Page has created a Savings Calculator app where you get help in adding up your savings. It also enables you to keep track of your laundry expenses and savings at the same time.

What more, this Savings Calculator is very easy to use. It can help you track down your weekly laundry expenses based on a few things: number of family members, average weekly load and how you wash your clothes.

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS: Electrolux is giving away not just one but 4, yes FOUR!! washing machines to four very lucky people.

Here are the four easy steps on how you could be one of those four winners

Electrolux Campaign: Delightful-E Simple to Share

Electrolux and Gawad Kalinga’s Trese partnered to have these donated pre-loved clothes transformed into beautiful and colorful quilts for the newborn babies from orphanages and other communities. Now, if that advocacy touched your hearts, then sort through your closets now and look for clothes that you might want to give to help keep warm these babies as the -BER months usher in cooler winds.

Have Car, Will Travel

The hubby once went to his home province by taking a ship which traveled for two days. He took the ship going there and back because he brought along his motorcycle for him to tour different places.

Of course, he can’t just do something like click here for car shipping because the cars being shipped need to have a person with it to facilitate the documents, the transfer, etc.

Road Trip

Am glad we don’t need to ride in ships when we go visit my parents otherwise, I’d probably get seassick.

Boring ba ang Summer Vacation Mo?

“Nakakabato naman.”

“Walang magawa.”

“Nakakatamad, walang happening.”

“I’m bored to tears.”

Yan madalas ang sinasabi ng mga kabataan, lalo na kapag summer at walang pasok sa eskwela. Sino nga ba naman ang hindi mabo-bore na walang ginagawa at sobrang init pa. Argh!

Hindi naman pwede mag-malling araw-araw dahil kailangan may budget para dun, paano kung wala? Karaniwan, walang choice kundi mag-stay lang sa loob ng bahay kaya ang “boring life” ay isang maituturing way of life ng mga taong walang magawa.

Pero teka, is there such a thing na walang magawa? Hindi naman siguro, baka lang kaya nasasabing walang magawa kasi hindi alam kung anu-ano ang mga pwedeng gawin. Aba, sa dami ng mga pwedeng gawin, walang dahilan upang mabato ngayong summer vacation.

Anu-ano nga ba ang pwede gawin ng mga taong bored na bored na?

Heto ang ilang suhestiyon upang hindi maging boring ang summer vacation mo.

Way to go, Joe

Naalala ko nung bata pa ako, kasama ko ang aking Mama sa aming tindahan ng may dumating na Amerikano. Matangkad, guwapo (para sa akin ha), matangos ang ilong, maputi, light brown ang buhok at kulay gray ang mga mata. Pero ang unang mapapansin sa kanya, siya ay balbas-sarado. Nang makita ko siya, madali akong tumalikod at sinabi sa aking Mama “Ma, nakakatakot naman si Joe (ang tawag sa mga lalaking puti noong araw), balbas sarado kasi, di man lang nag-aahit.”

Nagulat ako nung siya ay sumagot ng “Nene, bakit ka matatakot sa akin dahil sa aking balbas? Wala kasi akong oras para magshave kasi nasa bundok kami ng mga kasama ko at nagtuturo sa mga Ita.”

Hiyang-hiya naman ako at kaagad nag-sorry sa kanya. Nahiya ako hindi dahil sa sinabi kung nakakatakot siya kundi dahil naintindihan pala niya ang aking di magandang sinabi tungkol sa kanya Nakakatawang nakakahiya, hindi ba?
