Hyundai i10 Cabin Filter Replacement

You know when the cabin filter needs replacement when the air coming out from air-con vent is not as strong as before and sometimes the air smells like some sour thing spilled in the car. Normally, I change the cabin filter once a year but I do clean it once in a while so that dust would not accumulate in the evaporator and blower. I bought the previous filter from Fronte at Banawe for 180 pesos last year. But this time I bought the filter from lazada.com.ph . The price is 290 pesos which include the delivery charge. The filter looks the same as the replacement I bought before. I hope it function as expected since the box says 'genuine parts' :-). Fingers cross. Fast delivery from lazada.com.ph.  It says, 'genuine parts'. But I have my doubt... Nicely package in plastic. The old one in the left looks super very dirty. It is really time to replace it. Newly replaced cabin filter for may Hyundai i10 for better air circulation and cleaner air. ...

Pepi Cubano @ SM North Edsa

Pepi Cubano is one of the newest store I see in Glorietta. I just contented myself in just looking at the deliciously displayed pictures of its foods whenever I pass the store since I am always in a hurry. Luckily, I came across one in SM North Edsa in Quezon City. So, I tried one of their bestsellers. The price is a bit stiff but the food tastes great. I like how they  make the bread a bit crunchy. It just really the price that will turn off the customer. Crunchy bread with loads of meat.

Hyundai i10 - Closing outside air inlet

I bought Hyundai i10 1.1L 2012 AT model last year (2017) from one of the members of Hyundai i10 club Philippines. The car is the replacement for my aging Hyundai Getz 2005 1.3L manual transmission.  Actually, I am looking for i10 or Kia Picanto which has almost similar dimension and engine capacity. I thought the i10 has 3-cylinder but was surprised when I found out that it has 4-cylinder engine, thus, it is more smother than that of Picanto which has 3-cylinder engine.  I was able to check 2 Picanto; the first one is from a Dealer along Kalayaan St. in Quezon City. The model is 2015 1.0L manual transmission and the body is still fresh. The engine seem to be ok as well and it is clean! I test drive the vehicle and found out that the clutch is not working well. It is like sticking in the middle which causes some revving and unpleasant driving experience. The last one; I found from olx.ph . The same model and avocado green color. The Seller is from Marikina. We met at S...

J&D Ramen @ Tandang Sora QC

If you like Ramen and you happened to be near Tandang Sora, you might want to try check the J&D Ramen along Tandang Sora Avenue. The place is near Culiat Highschool. The ramen house is located in a parking area of the building and open in the evening (we initially thought they are open during day). Maybe because the place is not air-conditioned and eating a hot ramen would make you perspire to death :-).   They just basically put a colorful tent, tables and chairs and provide a good set of menus. During our visit we ordered one of their best sellers, i.e. the pork ramen. My wife ordered the seafood and takoyaki. The price for the budget is 60 pesos but the serving is really small. If you are hungry you might want to order the big one. Taste is average not the one that will make you a regular customer. But still, this restaurant is something that should be tried. We haven't check their other offerings but I am guessing they taste average as well. ...
