No Cost-Shipping for Typhoon Yolanda Victims Thru LBC


 Photos are owned by the author

I was able to catch the last day of LBC's free shipping for Yolanda victims in Reno, NV, yesterday! Thanks God! The deadline was supposedly on the 30th of November, which is today, but the LBC Office was full already. 

I thought the addressee was the Philippine National Red Cross but I was wrong because the box was sent to LBC Office, Pasay City, Manila c/o Melissa-Ann Macarubbo instead (pls refer to the photo above). It is okay as long as the stuff in the box would reach to Yolanda's victims. After hearing/reading news about discrepancies in distributing relief goods, I kind of not that trustful anymore especially to government agencies.

Thank you LBC! Ikaw talaga ang "Hari Ng Padala". 

Thank you also to LBC Staff in Reno: Kuya Joe (in checkered shirt) and Kuya Sam (in green shirt) for helping me! Though I am a little bit disappointed for forgetting to take photos of the overwhelming number of boxes inside the LBC Office, at least I did not forget to take photo of them, hehehe!

And thanks to hubby for putting the stuff in the box. And thanks for visiting my site. You have a good one!

Spotted: A Big/Thick-Wheeled Bicycle

Photo is owned by the author

The hubby and I were driving around downtown Reno when I spotted this guy riding on his big/thick-wheeled bicycle. That was my first time to see such a thing. It was not a fancy looking bicycle but I thought it was unique! 

I was like, "Look, Mahal! Can you get closer so that I can take a picture?" The hubby being a supportive husband tried to get closer to the guy and there, I was able to take a photo!

I don't know if people would find this post interesting but I thought it was so I am blogging about it.

Thank you for dropping by. You have a great day!

In Lieu of Hubby's Yukon XL



Hubby bought this GMC Suburban last month from California because we needed a big truck to pull a utility trailer in moving to Round Mountain. And we also needed it to transport LBC Balikbayan box to Reno because the box is big and doesn't fit in  my Chevy Impala.

Hubby missed his Yukon XL which I totaled during an accident last year so he bought the same color of the Yukon. This truck is an old model but the mileage was pretty low and the price was not really bad even if we had to fly to Orange County. We bought this from Classic Cars in  Brea, California. 

I am happy to have this GMC Suburban. It reminds me of the "late" Yukon XL.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a good one!
