Trying Bancnet

First time to try Bancnet.

I was about to go out to withdraw my budget for this month at BPI when Josef suggested that I try  the Bancnet ATM machine located at 7-11 convenience store two blocks from our house.  I haven’t tried it yet but he assured me that it’s okay instead of going to the town proper where I  still  need to take special tricycle ride to reach the place while 7-11 is just several steps away.

Bancnet is a consortium  of several local banks that one can use but there is a minimal charge of P18 pesos for each transaction. The ATM machine at 7-11 is new. Yay, I saved on tricycle fare.

Really, this was the first time I tried it and I laughed at myself while going home because prior to making a withdrawal, I was a bit apprehensive. It was easy as 1,2, 3.

Sunday Musings

Since I consumed my last teaspoon of instant coffee yesterday, I had to go to the grocery store to buy one. It has always been instant  for a number of years now.

Two years ago, I asked my endocrinologist  if I could still drink coffee, she told me I have to limit it once a day. I have always chosen Nescafe Decaf although it is more expensive than the ordinary one. And I like it black with a small pouch of Stevia.  It’s so hard now to find plain black coffee in supermarket shelves since most  of the coffee pouches lined up there are the three-in-one variety in different flavors and they are  full of sugar which is not good for diabetics like me, I told Josef to go easy on it, he loves the creamy variety.

I switch my food intake from Gardenia wheat bread to Shirataki rice or from the latter to the former. If the viand is filling enough, I refrain from eating wheat bread and shirataki rice. When you are not 100% fit, you are wary of the things you eat.

Nissa asked me if I want to attend the coronation day of the YTAA (Young Thomasian Ambassador and Ambassadress) at the UST Medicine Auditorium where my high school graduation was held back in 1973. I’ll think about it since UST is quite far from our place. From the initial forty slots who joined, Nate is included in the top fourteen now. I don’t know how many contestants they would eventually get. Several days ago, the finalists were made to show their unique talents. Nate of course did Poomsae In Taekwondo. Poomsae are structured choreographed Taekwondo patterns or forms that combine offensive and defensive techniques against an imaginary opponent. I enjoyed the videos uploaded by Obet showing Nate in four different outfits for the  show.

Have a blessed and happy Sunday to all!
