Rent Books Instead..

It's the opening of classes in the Philippines and some parts of the world, while others are still on summer vacation. Some parents may now be looking for ways to buy expensive textbooks, while others may just be able to save 40-90% off of bookstore prices if they would just rent textbooks from CampusBookRentals.com, with free shipping both ways. What's really great is that, students can actually highlight in the textbooks, no need to feel being policed every time the book rented is used. Surely, that is how some students use their textbooks. I should know, I do that when I was in college.  Unlike borrowing from the library, there is a flexible renting period for each book. This book rental company is trusted since 2007, and has a growing clientele. Must be because they have a live customer support, should it be needed, and a 30-day risk free returns.

With you renting from them is also a good cause because they actually donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented. Operation Smile is an organization that performs cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not afford. Aside from that, the company have also set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships which will be distributed to students in communities. A lot of books to touch a lot of students who could use a hand. 

I looked into some books and I found that the price difference is really something that could help a lot. Take for instance Cooking for Geeks, which I actually bought a year ago. My golly, it came out so cheap than expected.  

In case you wanna know how bookrentals work, here's a video:

So why don't you rent books instead of buying them? If it worked well for me, I am sure it work with you too.

Sweet's Pinakbet

Shop at More Food Adventures

Pinakbet is an Ilokano dish that has been given localized rendition everywhere else in the Philippines. It matters actually in the main ingredient used, "Fish Sauce". I mean, it's what sets every Pinakbet recipe apart from each other. In Cebu, and other parts of the Visayas, "uyap" is being used. That's the color pink paste, shrimp paste, that is sold in the local markets. 

In other cities, crushed salted eggs are used. For my sister's Pinakbet, we used Boyong's Spicy Bagoong, one that we always favor to use when we enjoy green mangoes. 

Before, every time I have a chance to be in Cebu, I not only buy screen accessories, souvenir items, but also Alavar's Bagoong. It's not only the best Bagoong for mangoes and all others, but also the best alternative to fish sauce for a Pinakbet dish. Now that CDO has Boyong's, we can actually buy it anytime.
