Tips on taking IELTS Exam

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam is taken to measure a person's English proficiency. I wish schools could have trained students for these type of exams and did mock tests. There is actually a good learning structure as foundation in writing a good essay. I wish I had that knowledge earlier.

In order to get your desired scores, I suggest to enroll in a review center that does one-on-one coaching. If you prefer to self-study, however, that can work too as there are several resources online that I found useful.

How to prepare Ichiran Ramen instant pack

The husband has just returned from his Japan trip. I typed in, "What to buy in Japan", and this instant noodle box comes in among the Top 10 in the list. The box comes in 2 options - serving for 2, and serving for 5. This particular box in the picture is good for 2. A quick search online says this is a product of a famous ramen restaurant in Japan. I tried it this weekend and it has not failed my palette. Truly delicious!

Review: Han-nya Japanese Restaurant

Although the restaurant has been around in Cebu in years, I have just recently discovered this place. I fell in love instantly. I have not been to Japan yet (hopefully, soon) so I could not vouch for its authenticity based on taste. I can say, though, that of the times I have been there, my companions and I are the only non-Japanese customers. 

My favorites are:

Review: Paku

I've heard of unlimited chicken wings by some restaurants but the reviews weren't that great. This, by far, is the best. It's a much cheaper version too.

Paku (translated as wings in English) offers Php199.00 for unlimited chicken wings and unlimited rice. The meal is best enjoyed in a group. If it is your first time to try, I suggest that you take all 8 flavors. You can ask for the flavors of your choice later. Make sure to order enough, though. Leftover chicken costs Php20.00 per piece.

My favorite flavors are teriyaki and lemon pepper.

How to convert .audionote or .caf to .mp3

One of the applications that has proven to be useful to me is the Audionote app. I'm very happy of this purchase. I use it when I attend conferences or meetings. When I attend meetings, I just leave it recording. It allows me to freely listen without worrying of missing any information. It frees me from writing while listening. It also frees me from overthinking too much. What I like about it most is the fact that I can upload my notes to Dropbox or my iCloud Drive. That way, I am not limited with my iPad device's memory.
