Insurance Hunter

Post brought to you by Insurance Hunter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Early July of this year I received a phone call from my bank informing me about insurances and if I am willing to enrol in their accident insurance. As a depositor of the bank I have complimentary insurance from them. The call agent tries to read to me all the terms and conditions of the insurance which is hard to absorb and understand everything what she was trying to convey. By saying yes or okay it means I agree with it. Although I said okay I insisted that I have to read the terms and conditions first. So the agent sent me all the copy of the terms and conditions as well as the certificates of insurance.

To my surprise they were four insurances sent to me including the complimentary insurance. When I read it was clearly stated that my chequing account was automatically deducted for my payment of the insurances. True enough when I check my account it was already deducted. I know the importance of insurance but I felt the burden of paying it so I canceled it.

Lesson learned: I should listen to what the agent says, and if it’s not clear it’s still wise to read all the terms and conditions first before agreeing or I should go to the local branch of my bank to get clarification. And I should check other companies offering same insurances, to check if other companies has similar program with better packages.

Looking for insurances, like life insurance, house insurance, Auto Insurance, and other type of insurances is hard. Sometimes choosing the right insurance can be misleading just like what happened to me. Thus it’s important to do research and compare insurance companies first.

I know this is an overwhelming task but there are sites that can provide you the right insurance according to your preferences by undergoing their assessment like the Insurance Hunter for Ontario residents, an insurance brokerage. It is online thus it is accessible 24/7 in your convenience. Plus the process will take you only for minutes. For example if you want to find a company to get Car Insurance then the only thing you need is provide the answer in each question: your basic information, driver information and vehicle information. And they will provide you the insurance company that fits the result of your assessment. This is the best feature of Insurance Hunter, making your task of looking for best insurance easier. Try it for yourself and see the result.

Although I canceled the insurances from my bank, I still want to get insurance too. We don’t know what surprises may life bring and getting insurance ensures the future of our family. But this time I have to compare companies and get the insurance that fits to my preferences.

Blog Stat

I know how precious the statistic of a blog is: good stat = task = money! And it’s frustrating when you see your stat falling, Alexa rank soaring high and PR seems to be stuck in just one rank for moooonnnttthhhsss! Whew! 

I need to update my blogs daily or at least thrice a week and invite more readers. There are so many post topics running in my mind but once I started to type it seems that words are stuck in my finger. Really frustrating!

Wish Granted!

I woke up this morning feeling so tired. Imagine I woke up as early as 12 midnight and can`t go back to sleep. And all I can hear is the ticking of the clock.

It`s been like this for several days. And my eye bag is a clear evidence that I look so stress, not to mention the big pimples that just keep on popping on my face.

This morning, I wished that I`ll have long days off. I just want to sleep and do nothing. Maybe I am just to tired.

Then, when I arrived at work around 5:15 am, I am surprised to see the schedule,my boss gave me 4 days off including the holidays. And I was alarmed, that`s too long. This means I have no income for that 4 days – NO WORK, NO PAY! Suddenly I remember my wish this morning. Wish granted!

Seagull the Mugger

I and my sister we’re busy taking pictures of different flowers outside. We didn’t notice that a flock of seagulls we’re attacking our grilled halibut. Perhaps the smell is so enticing.

Though we scared them away one bird was so persistent of having a share of our meal…. Of course I can’t let this moment pass without documenting the second attack of this seagull.

 

The bait

 

Ooohhh walking slowly… slowly… Yes, walking like a cat

 

Almost there….

 

“Peek-a-boo” – see his devilish smile? well, this time I have to chase him

 

The bird is really persistent… maybe at this time he’s planning how to attack our meal.

 

Woosssshhhh…. not working eh?

 

To the left …. to the right…. Yap, this bird is ready to attack!

 

Unfortunately (for him), the fished is already cooked. But we spare a share for him… Hope he’s satisfied….

The Fate of Siopao

It's finally my day-off. After a long week of working so hard I can finally sleep longer and do nothing. But somehow doing nothing is boring. So I decided to go out and walk. Besides it's so nice outside and I want to discover more flowering plants that I have never seen before.

After a short walk, I came home hungry. I'm not in the mood to cook. I want instant food!

I found the monggo-stuffed siopao that was sitting on the fridge for months (in my estimation). I got one and put it inside the microwave, I thought 5 minutes is enough. So I grabbed my laptop and browse some sites when I notice something smells burning. I ran to the kitchen and it was filled with smoke. Then I immediately press the stop button of the microwave and ... charanggg.... here's my poor siopao.

I was scared honestly I can't imagine if it caused fire.

I know I'm ignorant...LOL... Well you can't blame me, we never owned a microwave oven before. All I know is that we can't put metal in the microwave oven as stated in the instruction in the label.

Well, thank God the microwave oven is still working but until now we can still smell something burning when we are using it.

By the way, I end up eating nothing that evening... I lost my appetite.

Review: Firmoo Sunglasses

I don’t wear sunglasses before. For me it is just a fashion accessory. But as I am exposing in the sun I find the need of the sunglasses. The glare of the sun is hurting much my eyes.

The first pair of sunglasses I bought was last year; it was my mom who insisted me to buy one. But I barely use it because it seems that it changes the view; like sometimes the elevation is too high or too low than the actual and I got stumbled. I don’t know if you experience that. Perhaps because of the lenses or it’s just me, not used to wearing it.

I am planning to buy a different pair, but so timely when Firmoo gave me three pairs of prescription sunglasses. Each pair is provided with plastic cases, there is also one black pouch and extra screws in case one of the screws loosens.

The designs that I picked are simple yet fashionable which just suited my preferences. It`s sturdy and I don`t see any distortion of object when I wear it. The style and fit are just perfect for me! I can wear it when the sun is too glaring and even during winter where the presence of snows all over makes the surroundings too bright to see.

Now I am wearing the sunglasses not just for fad but for protection. Thanks Firmoo!

Disclosure: Three pairs of sunglasses were provided to me by Firmoo. No payment was received by me in exchange for this review nor was there an obligation to write a positive one. All opinions are 100% mine.

Who Cut the Tulips?

I made a blog post about the little buds that were slowly growing and spring time finally arrived last April 11. And early this month the tulips started to bloom. As my first year here in Ca, I am excited to see flowers that I only saw in photos and tulips are one of those.

We have a bed of tulips along the driveway at home and each flowers that bloom gives us excitement especially that it comes in different five colors.

But today as we arrived from a 6 hour drive we discovered that all flowers were gone. We are all upset especially when we saw the flowers  and petals scattered on the road. Some are stamped by feet that looks like the one who did it have so much hatred with the flower. One tulip was even uprooted!



I would feel better if they cut it and give to somebody to cheer up a person. But seeing the petals in the road is disappointing.

I found three cut flowers that are still good and put in a glass with water. Somehow we can see the beauty of it for more several days.



Who cut the tulips? It remains a mystery for us…
