Makadaghan nga higayon, managlalis ang mga bag-o lang nahatagan sa kagawasan nga mopili kung asa kuno ang mas maayo: Magluto? o Mopalit nalang ug lutong daan nga pagkaon?

Kasagarang angay mohinuktok sa makadiyot kabahin aning pangutanaha kay ang mga bag-o lang nag-board o nagpuyo halayo sa ilang balay kung asa sila nagdako ug ginaluto-an pirmi sa ilang ginikanan. Pero, bisan pa man sa mga padre de pamilya, imo gayong timbang-timbangon kung asa man kaha ang mas mahayahay nga desisyon?

Atong pagabatbaton gamay kung ngano makalibog man ang pagpili kung magluto ba o mopalit na ba lang kaha ug lutong da-an nga pagkaon. Ato ning buhaton aron makahimo ta’g desisyon ug tambag para sa uban nga mga wise consumers.

Kung mopalit ka ug lutong da-an walay hasol sa pagluto (klaro man tingali ni… ). Mao ni ang usa sa pinakanindot nga ma-ani nimo sa pagpalit ug lutong da-an nga pagkaon…walay hasol o ekstra nga buluhaton ug maka-save pa gayud ug oras! Si Misis kay makapahuway ug tarong ug tingali mas maanyag tan-awon kung ikompara sa haggard nag panagway sa usa ka “stressed” nga Misis. Usahay hinuon maglisod ka ug pili o pangita sa ganahan nimo kaonon. Kung sa canteen sa eskuwelahan o sa trabahoan ka mamili, mapugos ka sa pagpili sa unsa ang nakadisplay, bisan wala kay ganahan, mopili na lang ug pugos kay sa mapasmo. Mas mahal o mas dako daw ug magasto ang magpalit ug lutong da-an nga pagkaon? Mas maka-save kuno ang magluto?

Kung magluto ka sa imong gipuy-an, mogahin gyud ka ug panahon para mag menu planning, mangompra, ug magluto. Human sa pagluto, imo pagayod nang pagapuston ang pagkaon ug bitbiton sulod sa bag padulong sa eskuwelahan o trabaho-an. Hasol gyud kuno, maoy masulti sa uban. Si Misis, kay mahago, hilabi na kung nanarbaho pud si Misis. Apan, sa kalisod sa panahon karon, mohatag gayud kita ug patagad sa pagutana nga mas gamay ba gayud kuno ang gasto sa magluto da-an? Muto-o ka ba?

Asa man ang palabihon nimo? Ang kahasol? Ang mas gamay ug gasto? Kanus-a man mas maayo ang magluto? Kanus-a man pud mas maayo ang mopalit na lang ug lutong da-an?

Ipaambit na ang imong maayo nga huna-huna…

What do you think of PGMA’s (President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s) State of the Nation’s Address for 2009?

Did you feel any of the effects of all the “success” and “progress” stuff stated to support the idea of a STRONG ECONOMY?

To learn why Politics is considered as one of the topics to be discussed by a community of wise consumers, go to this post…

Go the Cebuano Version…

Frequently,  some of us have to choose between cooking the food we eat or buying ready-to-eat foods.  Some of the consumers who have to make this decision are those who are living in boarding houses, far away from their childhood abodes where they used to eat meals cooked by their parents. Even parents have to make this decision every now and then for their family. There are exceptions of course. More affluent families and individuals make decisions based mostly on taste preferences rather than on economics.  However, the majority of the population have to carefully consider also the economic effects of this decision in the context of other factors like time, effort and  taste…so, this topic is but worth discussing by a community of wise consumers. Cook or Buy? Let’s discuss from the perspective of the majority….

Buying Ready to Eat Foods:  less effort, time saved, sometimes a constraint in choices such as in school or company canteens. Obviously, less hassle, less effort and time savings are the primary advantages of buying ready to eat foods. This is also a preferred decision for people who do not know how to cook (like you? haha…). However, many times, we are constrained by the selection of foods in our canteens or nearby carenderias. Many times, we’d rather eat in the canteen what is available rather than starve. A lot of consumers also claim that this is more expensive compared to cooking your own meals. What do you think?

Cooking your own food: pride over one’s cooking masterpiece (for the rare few?…heheh), control over what you wish to eat, control over cooking style, more effort and time consuming. While cooking your own food to eat has its special advantages, one of the primary reasons why a lot of people prefer to buy ready to eat foods is the effort done in menu planning, shopping and food preparation.  Time must be alotted. However, some people claim that you can save more when you cook. Is this true for you?

What have or had you decided for yourself or your family? What were your basis? What do you value?  Time, Effort, Money? When do you think is it more fitting to cook rather than buy?

Cook or buy. Share your thoughts now….

ENGLISH VERSION:

This is the first post about Politics and Government in the Wise Consumer’s Corner. Why do we have to discuss and share information about Politics and Government in CebuWiseConsumer?

To vote, pay our taxes and then be served by our government officials is just essentially “paying for a service”…public service. The salaries (and the wealth stolen via corruption? ) of our government officials comes from our pockets. We pay them to serve us! We voted for them to serve us (..and give them the chance to waste our taxes?…). This is just the same case as paying for a new hairstyle, a massage, a doctor, and other services…we pay to avail of public service! (except the those who are not paying taxes, are paid instead of paying tax, and are very active in rallies and demonstrations with a cause they know nothing about).

To honestly pay taxes, to vote wisely during elections, to demand of the appropriate and expected honest public service from our government officials and to help influence others of these noble nationalistic duties is therefore also a mission of a “Wise Consumer”—- from Cebu, a CebuWiseConsumer.

Let’s talk politics now…

Are you in favor of Poll Automation for 2010? Why? Share your thoughts…

CEBUANO VERSION:

Kung wala ko masayop mura’g mao ni ang pinaka-una nga “post” sa Wise Consumer’s Corner nga kabahin sa Politika ug pamumuno dili lang sa Cebu, kung dili hasta napud sa pang-gobyerno sa tibuok Pilipinas.

Ngano man nga ang Politika gi-apil sa CebuWiseConsumer nga usa sa mga paga-batbaton ug paga-hisgutan sa mga rehistrado nga miyembro niani nga website?

Kini tungod kay ang pagbotar sa mga manglansaray sa eleksyon, ang pagbayad sa buwis, ang pagtagamtam ug kaha ang pagpa-abot ba kaha sa maayong serbisyo sa atong mga opisyal sa gobyerno sama ra nga nagbayad ka para sa usa ka serbisyo.  Asa man kuha-a ang suweldo (ug ba kaha ang gikurakot ) sa atong mga opisyal sa gobyerno?  Dili ba gikan ra man pud na sa atong bulsa?  Sama ba sa pagpili dayon pagbayad nimo sa barbero, sa momasahe nimo, sa doktor nga ni-atiman nimo, ug uban pang mga serbisyo,  nagbayad pud ta para maserbisyo-an ta’g tarong sa mga opisyal nato sa gobyerno.

Ang pagbayad sa buwis, pagbotar panahon sa piniliay ug ang pagbantay sa gipaabot nga matinud-anong serbisyo usa pud diay ka tahas sa usa ka “Wise Consumer.”

So, politika sa ta karon….

Uyon ka ba or dili ka ba uyon nga dayonon ang Poll Automation sa 2010 diri sa Pilipinas? Ngano man? Ipaambit na dayon ang imong huna-huna…
