ONE SIM LOADS ALL NETWORKS (VMOBILE LOADXTREME)

We can't erase neither deny the big fact that every Filipino has her/his own cellphone. Even kids in grade schools have their own gadgets to send & receive text message & photos; to make & accept calls; and one can now browse the world wide web using this kind of gadget to open their emails and log in to social networking sites. I call it, RAMPANT. With every second we use our cellphones, we are spending. Seems like almost every second or every minute a person holds a cellphone and is already a part of a NEVER-ENDING routine. Cellphones are now the primary medium of communication and connectivity with all the Filipino people.

I myself could consume a 600 PhP plus worth of load in a month while my husband's doubles due to his field of work and our load consumption is growing bigger and bigger with more people to contact and lives and work get hectic. As for me I am using three accounts with the big-three Telco companies: Smart, Globe & Sun Cellular. My husband has two. My Globe is Tattoo prepaid so in order to have an unlimited surfing for a month I have to load 1, 200 PhP plus for it. And every other day, we purchase loads via retailers found all over the city of Davao. And thinking about it, I'd say the one thing I get whenever I buy load is that I can ONLY USE it. When my load runs out I have to pay for another. And who is or who are the ones getting richer? Of course, alam nyo na yan.

Now, here comes LoadXtreme (VMobile). You don't have to change or replace the SIM or the number you are currently using. All you need to do is to buy the retailer's kit with the activation code from an authorized Load Extreme Business Center or Dealer to register. And after Load Extreme confirms your account, you can then start loading your wallet in able to sell load or to load yourself! Being a Load Extreme retailer enables you to load all networks. Name it: Smart, Sun, Globe, Talk & Text, Touch Mobile, Red Mobile, PLDT Landline Plus & Vibe, Bayantel Prepaid & Affordacall, Dream Satellite TV, Smart Link, Smart & Sun Cellular Broadband, Airborne Access, ABS-CBN TFC, Online Games like Amped, E-games, Garena, Gameclub, High Street, Kapamilya Casual Games, Level Up, Lineage II, Mobius Online, Softnyx and a lot more are still coming to be available. If you become a loader or a retailer of Load Extreme, you are entitled to (I call it) SURE sales whenever you sell load/s to consumers and your own discount when you load your own number. You also get other business opportunities when you sign up to become a LoadXtreme Dealer or Retailer. Moooooore PERKS and bigger chances of growing and expanding in this field.

So why not turn your daily consumption into income? I mean it, INCOME! I would like to quote my husband's tag line at work: Bahalag ginagmay basta kanunay (Small things get big when frequent). And I myself can prove that since the first day I started as a retailer with LoadXtreme I am earning pesos just by clicking my cellphone while doing my other 'thingies' at home along with my work and sidelines. If you want to become a dealer then the chances I'm telling will be much much in extreme for an aspiring entrepreneur and also for those who plainly wanted to use it for personal consumption. You have the options and you choose.

For as low as 250 PhP to register an account with LoadXtreme you are now on your verge to business. Have an initial load of 300 PhP and PRESTO! Load now! Load na, Now na! ^_^ You can replenish your load wallets in easy ways provided. No hassles. Dealer kits costs 3, 998PhP which contains 20 retailers kit including yours and the rest you can sell it to those who would like to become retailers/consumers. 

It's as easy as that. I'd be glad to be of help for queries and the like. LoadXtreme (Vmobile) is under the banner of Penta Capital Investment Corporation, the leading independent investment house in the Philippines known for its unique expertise in project development and financing, especially for real estate, leisure and infrastructure projects with almost half a billion in assets. 


I'd like to add this up, before, I'd usually show my tongue out and roll my eyes (seems like saying, "Talaga?") when introduced to a networking company. It came to a point when I even said this, "Show me a 1 million peso check first (not 999, 999 but one million) before I'll sign up with your networking company." Mostly, networking companies promises too good to be true visualizations. They concentrate more on "networking" forgetting about the first fact that Filipinos nowadays are getting more practical. Why risk thousands of pesos in a business where you can't see it would still be in sight years from now? Food supplements, herbal capsules & medicines and etc. (I'd say) are not a part of every Filipino lives. We are now living with the days where we want simple, basic commodities with discounts and better deals. And this "CELLPHONE LOAD"? I guess, load already speaks for itself. 

My Grocery List

I had typed the draft of this post while waiting for my husband inside the Gaisano Ilustre Mall to pick me up along with my grocery bags filled with stuff for our next week’s consumption at home. My bags contain my daughter’s can of milk, diapers, her jellies and crackers, shampoo, detergent soap in bars and in powder, teabags in boxes, brown sugar, two dozens of eggs, powder juice in foils, my favorite Nature’s Bread Wheat Bread, a few cans of sardines and beef loaf, my sanitary napkins, liniments, bleach, vegetable cooking oil and a whole lot more! 

Before, I did my grocery without a list or if there was, I seldom or I rarely stick to it. And my impulsive buying had cost me so much waste on the figures I am entrusted to budget. There would be things and foods I bought that were being thrown in the garbage sacks because I would just realize after a month or so they were unwanted in my household, my family won’t eat or use them or they are at most unnecessary. Always after discarding, I’d feel guilty. After so much REALIZATION on my part, I began and started making my grocery list. I’m doing this good step for a year and a few months now and gladly it made a good outcome. Saturday is my grocery and market day and every Monday is my start-to-make-a-list-day. I also had instructed my helper at home to tell me whenever we are already running out of soap, cooking oil, Gasul, sugar, spices and rice which are the basic commodities at home so I can immediately go downtown to refill our counters and containers.

Forty percent of our household income goes to the supermarket and twenty percent goes to the local market and for our health expenses and benefits, ten percent is our tithes, another ten percent is divided for miscellaneous and our house helper’s salary and the last ten percent goes to our savings accounts in banks. Somehow we have managed to make both ends meet. And as what I’m blurting out in frequent, there will always be blessings. We see to it what we get from our work goes to its designated envelopes and what we get from our sidelines, people around and some of our etcera will still be kept in their proper folders, to be used for good investments, to be of help and to assist people in need, to be spent wisely and to be used for  the future and present use that are necessary.

Mashfa on Chocolates

I grew up knowing that chocolates are bad for my body. It’ll destroy my teeth and will cause me toothaches and cavities. It’ll give me diabetes and too much cholesterol and bad fats. All were negative notions from adults who dislike sweets in form of candies & of this famous concoction in different colors & sizes & shapes to be eaten by kids.

Numerous beauty products today contain cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is good for skin softening. Nowadays, chocolate is being used in Body & Facial Spas and Derma Clinics and the like for beauty & body treatments probably because it can exfoliate the dead skin cells and regenerate new ones. Study shows an ample dosage of chocolates in a diet can prevent the free and harmful radicals from causing damage to the skin’s elasticity because of the anti-oxidants found as one of it’s components. Also, chocolates are rich in flavanoids that maintain the skin’s collagen and fight against sun damage. It doesn't hurt to eat a bar of chocolate a day. 

My aunt’s seaman husband, Uncle Joenel came back from his 1 year trip over the sea a month ago and he brought a lot of imported chocolates from his work-travel. My loving aunt hid a portion for me so I was still able to have sumptuous bites of one of my favorite foods before 2010 turned to an end. My all time favorite brand – Toblerone, Cadbury, M&Ms and Hershey’s Kisses & Mini Bars. And because I’m a mother of all times I had to share my bag of goodies to the twins & Reese (though they also have their own pasalubong from their Daddy-lo. You know – kids, they love to get anything from your hand most likely when it’s food, you know). ^_^

A few days before we packed our bags to travel back to Davao City, I remembered visiting a family just a few blocks away from my parents’ house. They had sent me home with a plastic bag full of cacao beans. One of our house helper voluntarily roasted the beans in a large pan & right after I delivered it to a “Bukbukan” (a store in the Philippines known to shred coconut meats out from their shells, to grind nuts, grains & beans). In a few minutes I saw my first ever chocolate sauce (‘my’ first? Eh, just let me think it was). We don't have small tins so I used my mother’s ‘puto’ molders to shape the very sticky form of paste I had in a once-filled of ice cream container. The three kids at home were so delighted to see my muffin-like cacao tablets. Filipinos fondly call it ‘tabliya’ or ‘tsukwati’. Best for champorado & a morning treat for a chocolate lover like me – a cup or cups of choco drink before ringing the day’s bell.

Mashfa on Master Siomai

Just this afternoon I needed to go to downtown to see the city at day (my first sight of Davao City's center of commerce for the year 2011. I just came back from my almost 3-week vacation in Bukidnon last two days ago).   I also needed to check with the Postal Office regarding the transactions I had with them the past year and to update my EON Account at Unionbank (which are all located at the most crowded places in the city).

It was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon and I had thought of convincing my husband to eat slices of my favorite Greenwich Pepperoni Pizza or maybe try some pizza somewhere since office hours were already up. But we ended up going to Gaisano South (JS Ilustre) and spotted ourselves ordering two servings of siomai at Master Siomai's stall inside the mall. Mine was beef siomai, Rex had combo siomai. We paired it then with their cold gulaman. After the last bites, though not hungry we ordered for another two servings. I got pork & shrimp siomai while Rex vigorously devoured the japanese siomai. I do my grocery shopping at JS for almost 6 months now, Mr. Siomai as I remember was visible inside the place on the last quarter of the previous year (can't recall the exact date) but I was one of those who struggled to order for their siomai in a rustling crowd during their first few days.

 Siomai Combo (2 pieces beef siomai & 2 pieces japanese siomai)

Beef Siomai

Upper Plate: Pork & Shrimp Siomai

Lower Plate: Japanese Siomai

A serving consists of four siomai of your choice (Beef, Japanese, Pork & Shrimp and Combo) at 28 PhP. A cup of their gulaman is at 10 PhP. I've seen a cart of Master Siomai at the First Floor of NCCC Mall (near the entrance and the exit door of the said mall facing Maa Road).

I've eaten too many siomai before from different food carts, food chains & fine restaurants but to only a few I'd make a thumbs up. Master Siomai provides one of the best tasting Asian food I've ever eaten in my 24 year of existence. It's worth the try & another try & another try & another...
