Get Your Poso Negro Cleaned for Free!

Hello mga Kapitbahay! Good news! Maynilad has been offering free septic tank desludging services in BF Homes and Sun Valley right now. You can check the schedule here or call Maynilad at 1626.

The crew knocked on our gate early this morning and offered the free service. We immediately said yes since we had a traumatic experience from our first rented home. They had a hard time removing the septic tank cover so they just bore a hole. The desludging procedure took only about 5 minutes. We had some cement available so the crew covered up the hole as well. They recommended to change the lid so it will be easier to clean in the future. 

Make sure to have your septic tank cleaned every 5 years. We're really glad that Maynilad still provides this service for free. Thank you Maynilad! 

Cafe in Paranaque: But First, Coffee

We just discovered that "But First, Coffee" is founded by a Paranaqueno! We found out from a feature on the OG YouTube channel that Anna Magalona started her business at home with just PhP6,000. We immediately checked if it was available via Grab and found a branch just near our home. 

Woke up early this morning so we could try out their coffee. We got the following -

Spanish Latte and Vietnamese Style (hot)

Vietnamese Style (iced)

These two are the bestsellers of the cafe. You can also purchase coffee in 1 liter bottles. It should be fairly easy to find a branch since they now have 29 branches. Most are in Luzon and one in Iloilo City. The branch in Paranaque City is located in Saudi Arabia St., Better Living Subdvision in Barangay Don Bosco.

Cafe in Paranaque: Presko Coffee

We discovered Presko Coffee through Grab. Found it because we were looking for coffee and breakfast. We tried it and have since been ordering whenever we crave for good breakfast. After voting today we planned to get breakfast via drive-thru. The lines were long so we thought we'd check out Presko Coffee and get take-away. 

We got lucky and Sweetie was able to park. The interiors of the cafe was so pretty we decided to dine in. We were also curious to see the menu and how they would serve the food. I ordered my usual waffles and bacon (I gave my scrambled egg to Sweetie) - 

Sweetie got a BLT (he loves sandwiches) -

And the son got waffles and hungarian sausage -

We also got coffee. I had a hot Spanish latte, Sweetie ordered Irish coffee and the son got iced Spanish latte. We love their coffee! 

We've been taking precautions that's why we haven't been dining out. We loved the cafe though so we'll likely go back to dine-in again. A great find in our `hood!

Paranaque Candidates 2022

With everyone focused on the national elections, we haven't really seen anyone actively campaigning locally. Well, probably because our house is tucked inside a subdivision. We didn't even receive any leaflets to review candidate credentials.
