Cruising Experience

This may be a long due post that I should post after the event in 2015. I just wanted to pursue for the sake of compiling good memories that I could look back in the future. 

My hubby works aboard a passenger ship at P&O cruises. It was his dream and my dream too for me to take on a cruise someday but because their port is in the UK, it would be expensive for airfare just to get there and back. Anyway, it was still an answered prayer for us, we may not expect the way how we wanted it, I believe it is God's way of answering it through a friend. By the way, I didn't pay any for this cruise it was God's provisions. It was HIS favor indeed.

Cruising itself was the highlight of our trip. It was the happenings inside the ship, the experience to meet other nationalities who were also on a cruise. The food and different activities made me excited. We booked for 4D/3N cruise from Singapore-Malaysia-Singapore. I was also excited to reach Malaysia for another country to explore but we just spent the whole day there.
At first, I was afraid to board a ship because it might trigger my vertigo when the sea is rough. Instead of conquering by fear, what I did is to prepare before it happens. So I took the seasick tab and brought more for the entire cruise. Indeed, I enjoyed the whole cruise. 

My friend's cousin is working onboard in RCCL Mariner of the Sea ship where we had our cruise. It was also her birthday on the date that we were there so we spent a night celebrating with her. We had our dinner at Giovanni's Table.


















Happy Birthday, Liezel! We enjoyed the sumptuous food and your company. We pray that the Lord will always guide your life to the path which will give glory to His name. Enjoy every blessing!

Life on a cruise is a luxurious experience. Foods are flooding, events are everywhere, complete amenities, etc. You just have to go out of your cabin and explore the ship. They also give the list of activities for the entire cruise and decide on where you want to go and what you want to do.

I always thank God for this opportunity of an event in my life which I experienced to go on a cruise FREE from covid-19 and explore without wearing a mask then. Even today that the cruising industry is trying to get back in normal cruising operation, there have been safety protocols requirements in doing so. We may never know when the pandemic will end but in God's perfect will and plan, we must trust in His power. We are not in control of the situation, but HE IS. We can't assure that things will go back the same but for now, let us adapt to what the "new normal" is offering.

Thank God for the good memories to look back thru all these pictures.

Malakas nga ba sa kuryente ang Induction Stove?


 Mahal ba ang paggamit ng electric appliances sa pagluluto (induction stove, air fryer, turbo broiler)?

JUST SHARING MY OWN EXPERIENCE πŸ‘πŸΌ


Sa totoo lang nakakadoubt gumamit ng mga electric na gamit sa kusina dahil iniisip natin agad baka "malakas sa kuryente, mataas ang Meralco bill.

Last December 15, nagpalit ako ng gamit sa kusina (unintentionally, may nag offer lang na use now pay later πŸ˜…). At dahil mauling na ang ginagamit kong gas stove, pati mga caserole, pans ay mauling na din..nakaka stress na tingnan ang mga gamit ko sa kusina. 

So eto na nga, ginamit ko ang 2 burner induction stove (everyday cooking), air fryer at turbo broiler. At dahil busy season ang December, nadalas ang aming pagluluto personal o pambusiness man 😁 nandun ang kaba ko baka dumoble ang bill ko by January πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Kahapon bago pa dumating ang Meralco bill, nacheck ko na sa online at nakita ko ang bill ng January. Yes, from 446 kwh, tumaas ng 84kwh ang usage namin. Total of 530 kwh from Dec 15 to January 12 na cut off for meter reading na nag bill ng P5288.14 sa dating P4331.41 from December bill.

Mahal nga ba ang de kuryente? In my case, yung tinaas sa bill ko na P956.53 ay sapat lang dahil ang gamit kong LPG ay nacconsume almost every 2weeks. Which is 2x a month ang konsumo ko ng LPG.

Mas naging happy ako to share sa inyo ang experience ko with everyday using ng induction stove, air fryer and turbo broiler..di naman pala malakas sa konsumo. Elegant pa sa kusinaπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ
