“Unemployment in the U.S. rises”, says an online news headline.

So true to almost a thousand Filipino teachers who are now out of job. I could have been one of them because I was interviewed by the recruitment officer for a teaching position in that certain county.

If I got in I would have paid almost a million pesos. Yes, I’d be swimming in debt even before I set foot in the great big US of A. I know it’s probably like having a lot of payday advance loans except they haven’t received their salary yet but they’re already paying for the fees.

Just like the other teachers who have been duped by a fellow Filipino recruiter, these teachers paid a whole lot just to be able to teach over seas. The authorities should also look into the agency that got them their jobs because it is to the agency that they paid thousands of dollars as “processing fees”.

I know gushing about having a PR is sooo like a noob blogger *insert rolls eyes emoticon here*

My food blog recently got PR’ed, if there’s such a word. This happening came as a surprise and inspired me to cook more, never mind if a glowing neon “buyphenphedrine.com” sign is making it’s way to me. LOL.

Right now, the boiled potatoes (with grated cheese and butter) are sitting in the blue silicon baking pan, inside the fridge waiting for 4:30am. I’m gonna bake this for a bit for the kids’ breakfast.

The spring rolls are also waiting for their turn to get fried in the morning.

The cooked rice is in the fridge too, to be cooked as fried rice.

And best of all, the coconut jam warmed with butter and “cooked” with scrambled egg is cooling down. This will be for tomorrow morning’s toast.

Now, on to budget management… 😀

The Ipanema Gisele Bündchen Butterfly Collection is here! The Ipanema Gisele Bündchen Butterfly Collection is the sixth of the Ipanema Gisele Bündchen line designed by the supermodel. She is also the ambassador for United Nations Environment Programme.

The designs of the Ipanema GB Butterfly Collection features femininity with delicate lace-like weave of butterflies complimenting and prettifying the feet.  There is a butterfly embellishment to make the look prettier than it already is.

GB Butterfly Sandal Fem (black and gold)

Butterflies are best known not just as beautiful winged creatures but also creatures from a metamorphosis from an (icky) crawly creature to a magical winged butterfly. Women, like Gisele who is not just a supermodel but a mom and wife too, go through a series of transformation, just like a butterfly. Along these changes, we strive to make our loves better.

GB Butterfly Thong Fem (white and silver)

A portion of the sale from the Ipanema GB Butterfly Collection will be used to support ISA, a socio-environmental group aiming to promote awareness about climate change.

GB Butterfly Slide Fem (beige and gold)

I find the collection pretty, especially with the butterfly embellishment. I’ve seen other flip-flop designs, some simple, others ornate with black diamonds and other blings, silk flowers and ribbons. For me, simple and practical is the choice.

Butterflies + Ipanema Gisele Bündchen = <3
