Fight Cervical Cancer, Visit Your OB for Vaccine!

Written by louiseinthehouse on June 1, 2013

The Big C is so dreaded, and it’s very apparent that no one wants to put himself to the ‘dead end’ and be diagnosed with it. Everytime I see someone, either a relative, friend, acquaintance or even a stranger suffering with cancer, the thought about life being so short and that it can easily be taken away from us at a snap of a finger bothers me. My heart goes out to them who have suffered and died from this dreaded disease, but sometimes it leaves me helpless as well, knowing that at most times, cancers are incurable. It brings the fear that I ,too or any of my family members might have it. I am afraid but admittedly, I feel I haven’t really taken a concrete action to prevent it and know more about it as well. Yes, I am trying hard to have a healthy lifestyle but it […]

Getting CTPLs Fast and Easy from Cebuana Lhuillier

Written by louiseinthehouse on May 26, 2013

Going to Land Transportation Office (LTO) to process car registration renewala is not just a man’s thing anymore. I’ve tried doing it a few times already and it’s not that hard. It just requires a great amount of patience and effort as the entire business of renewing a license or a car registration consists of falling in line for three different counters, whew! To renew a car registration permit it is required to buy CTPL (Compulsory Third Party Liability) insurance as well. This means there is an added work to look for an insurance company of your choice. Most times, to save time and effort, I’d just get it from one of the agents ( that I randomly choose) that swarm outside the LTO, that’s it. Little did I know that I could be getting fake CTPLs from these agents, or these insurance premium purchases would later give me problems […]
