Globe Sulitxt15 Relaunched

As a retailer of Autoloadmax, I was given a heads up via SMS that Globe has made it even easier for us to load up prepaid subscribers and that is via *100#. The first time I used it was last April 30, to load my own number via my load wallet. It was also the day when I was one of the bloggers that was invited over to attend a Globe event in Legend Villas in Mandaluyong.

It was a relaunch of their Sulitxt15 promotion. Sulitxt15 promo grants the prepaid subscriber 100 SMS to fellow Globe subscribers for only P15/day. A practical treat during these hard times. If you would like to register to Sulitxt15 the conventional way, here's another option: 

To register for SuliTxT15 using your current load, just type SULITXT 15 to 8888.
And for EverybodyTxT20, still using existing load, just type ETXT 20 and send it to 8888.

Tips to Easily Cut Electricity Cost

Here are some bits and pieces of tips for those who would like to save electricity throughout the year. Whenever possible make sure to acquire programmable timers that you could use with your air conditioning units. This will dramatically lower your electricity cost, than if you were to use the air conditioning unit without one. This is what we have been using for many years and it easily cuts our electricity cost by half.

Filters of air conditioning units need to be replaced every so often. Make sure to get a qualified technician or one of those Birmingham HVAC experts to check if the filters of your units are due to be replaced. Duct tape can also come in handy for those leaks around ducts and pipes, even just a temporary one. You could also close the vents inside rooms that are not usually used to save electricity. Install ceiling fans in various parts of the room in the house. Make sure to have your units serviced at least every year for maintenance check. 

Whenever you can, open all windows and turn off the air conditioner and place electric fans all over the house to allow the natural air to flow freely inside your house.

Preserve Refrigerated Fruits and Veggies

I have personally used aluminum coated bags like this to store my fruits and veggies in the fridge. I first learned about it in one of those spammy-looking emails. Since it tells of being able to preserve not just my food but also preserve mother earth by not having to throw those used bags, I thought I should give it a try. I have nothing to lose anyway.

Now I am here posting away to vouch that it does work. My tomatoes would normally last for just a few days in the vegetable bin, now it lasts for a couple of weeks. The same goes for other fruit and veggies.

The key is not to seal the bag once its inside the fridge. This tip is very handy especially in this feasting season. Those leftover fruits should go in a bag and not just throw it anywhere in the refrigerator.

It is something that you can do as well. :-)

Save Energy on Your Cooktop

Always make sure to adjust a gas burner's flame so that it touches or is lower than a pot's bottom. There is no reason why the flame should go beyond the bottom of your pan. It is a waste of energy. This has personally worked for and has allowed my cooking gas to stay longer than it used to when we had a helper at home. For some reason some people actually think that the bigger the flame, the faster the food cooks.

If you are using an electric range, put a pan on a cooking element that's thesame size or slightly smaller than the utensil's bottom. Make sure the bottom is flat so that it makes full contact with your cooking pan. Put the burner on high when you begin cooking and lower it down as you finish. In fact, you can turn off the gas a couple of minutes before you get done with cooking. The residual heat will be enough to complete the cooking.
