How to scratch your tickly throat due to cough without really scratching it

Remedy for my tickly throat can be found here

Tickly throat due to cough is really annoying. I'm sure you already experienced it, and I'm sure you already tried controlling your cough but the more you control it the more your throat becomes itchy and suddenly you're going to surprise people with your explosive cough(like a firecracker that exploded), or even if you managed to suppress it I'm certain that you're eyes are going to get teary as if you remembered the moment you get rejected by your crush back in high school just because your crush was 5'6 and you were only 5,'0 but now, you are already 5,1 (oh, the miracle of circumcision).

Since I don't want to experience such things, I tried to look for some ways on how to get rid of this tickly throat of mine, I so feel like scratching it, but since my index finger is too short to reach my inner throat I wouldn't try doing it even if I had a longer one. I got a suggestion from a person who is very close to me and I think that she is somehow reliable because she is my girl friend, she told me to drink a warm water with extracted ginger. There was this myth that chewing ginger like bubble gum will make you a better singer which I almost believe because most people i knew who knows how to sing smells like ginger :-) . So we decided to visit a place called "The Coffee Beanery" that's along the Magsaysay Avenue here in Naga City at Avenue Square to be exact. They serve this out of ordinary tea which is called "ginger mint tea".

TCB's Ginger mint tea

Let me describe the looks of it first, the green colored thingy in it is not a moss it's a kind of mint jelly or in our dialect is called "sago"and yes, it's edible it won't be there if it's not. The scent is a combination of mint and ginger which is very soothing to the olfactory sense, by the way before I mislead you The Coffee Beanery's ginger mint tea is not for aroma theraphy, you may like the scent of it but you'll like it more when you drink it. Oh, can I tell you how it tasted? It was second to none, the taste was very natural, I guess you will have to try it for you to believe.

And how's tickly throat after? It's finally alright, the itchy feeling was minimized and I can already breath comfortably and just in case you want to know how effective ginger is as a cough remedy you can check this link http://www.inhouseremedy.com/cough-remedies.shtml.

Direction to your home away from home in Legazpi

Mayon Volcano and Legazpi City at night
How will you know that you're in the province of Albay? Once you have seen the most famous landmark in the Bicol Region, the Mayon Volcano and the capital city of the province you are indeed in Albay.

I was on an official business trip to Legazpi a day ago, the weather was exremely hot and I'm thinking that the active Mayon volcano could be the culprit for the very humid weather but it was definitely fine, I felt great relief everytime Mayon will show its beauty (when there are no clouds covering her).

The business trip became a sort of a relaxing vacation when I looked for a hotel where I can rest and spend the night over. The place was recommended by a friend, The name of the hotel is Jennifer Hotel, with the name you might think that the hotel has a naughty reputation, you know what I mean. I lost my way in finding my path to the recommended place, I was thinking that it's near the highway but the truth is you have to walk through a small road, like 500 meters away from the highway. You have to tell the jeepney driver to drop you off at St. Agnes (a school), from there you can find your way going to Jennifer.

I was in disbelief when I arrive at the place it was very far from what I was expecting, the place was awesome, and when I say awesome it is an understatement, it was great!



And the full name of the hotel is Jennifer's Kababayan Hotel Inc.
Now that's a decent name, a decent name for a very decent place. I guess the pictures above speaks for the kind of environment you'll experience once yout visit the place. The hotel is located at J. Estevez St., Guevarra Subdivision, Legazpi City, Albay.

As for the rate, it's unimaginably reasonable, and for someone who has a limited budget I didn't worry at all. I want you to experience it as well. you won't regret it. The place was great, the rate was great and the people there were also great. True indeed, I experienced a home away from home in Legazpi.

Direction from Naga City CBD (central bus terminal) to Centro (downtown)

If you're from Manila (via bus) CBD is your final stop when you're staying in Naga City. How do you get to the main part of the city? (Centro) you have to look for a tricycle (three wheeled motorized vehicle).
This is the easiest and the cheapest way to go to centro (7.00 pesos, 6.00 pesos if you're a student or a senior citizen, 5.00 pesos if you're a senior citizen and a student at the same time :-))

Drivers will definitely ask for your destination, don't tell them the street name, just tell them the name of the establishment you want to go, like if you're going to the hotel, you say the name of the hotel.
If you have luggages they might ask for an additional fare, they'll charge you based on the size or weight of the luggage, you have to negotiate with the driver before leaving the terminal so that once you get off from the tricycle you don't have to argue with Mr. Driver why with the extra fare.

If you think you were overcharged by the driver just get the four digit number of the tricycle (it comes in four different colors, blue, red, yellow and green) and have the number reported to the PSO (Public Safety Office 472-6265 , look for Lito).

Have a nice time staying in Naga :-)

You will know that you're in Centro once you see this landmark, the Quince Martirez
