Rice is not really that expensive you can buy them 25kg for 30$ then just buy a good quality rice cooker like "tiger" brand made from japan not china .. That 25kg last our home a month.. :))

yes but our flight from manila was delayed 5 hours and they brought in a jumbo jet only a hundred people on a 300 passenger plane and we almost did the same thing as what happened in san Francisco,,,,when we come out of the clouds and ready to land we were aiming for the airport and we suddenly took off again,,,,scary,,,,,i think it was that pilots first time into kalibo,,,,,but at least we made it around in the circle and landed on 2nd attempt,,,,we were probably about 200ft when we flew over the plane sitting at the terminal
