After having spent over 40 years of my life in the middle of it all in Cubao, Quezon City, our move to Angono, Rizal is a breath of fresh air----literally! In my old home, people are shouting on the streets, cars, jeeps, and buses sound there horns indiscriminately, and the smell of smoke and smog is what greets you when you step out of the safety of your home.
Here in the mountains----what else can you call it when you have to drive up steep inclines and your ears pop from the pressure?---it's an entirely different scenario altogether. It's like being at a resort in the sense that the air is fresh and cool, and it's so quiet---but not eerily so...it's a peaceful, calm kind of quiet that relaxes and helps you think clearly. It's a vacation without end!
Speaking of quiet, it's so quiet here that your heart will leap with fright at the sound of the door banging or a book falling. It's really rather embarrassing when I switch on our old vacuum cleaner---it's like turning on a chainsaw inside a monastery! Same goes with ultra versatile yet in your face blender---I mean, everyone in the neighborhood knows what I'm doing at that moment :p
Oh, and did I mention that I have a 7 month old? When he's asleep at our old place, he wouldn't notice these sounds because it seems to blend in with the rest of those in the city. In a place where you can literally hear a pin drop, switching on any of these devices is like setting off firecrackers in the house, and believe me, he will not be in a happy mood.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who has trouble with the noise most of our essential home gadgets make...there are enough of us out there to make it worthwhile to find a solution.
Happily, Electrolux is so in sync with its consumers that it has come up with gadgets we can use that will help maintain the peace and quiet most of us city-raised folks crave for while keeping the house clean and making that all-time comfort drink, the shake :) Indeed, we CAN have it all!
Oh be still my heart!!!
And what about making those creamy and frothy shakes that need to be prepared just before they're consumed? Here's one that will do the job without ruining the tranquility of the moment...
At this rate, going out of the house to have fun is becoming less and less appealing. So how's that for a lovely, tranquil, and ultra-convenient stay-cation? Here's to being definitely "HAPPIER AT HOME"!
