Airline Promo Fail

Some friends took advantage of a promo from a local airline company a few days ago. Instead of surprising their lived ones with the flight confirmation where they were supposed to have paid for a song,  they were surprised that their credit cards were charged several time due to errors. Que horror!

Uh-oh, I hope this is not a way to have floating money in the company’s profile because refund is said to happen within 60 – 90 days. Ugh.

With the many destinations to choose from, mainly top Asian (and Philippine) tourist spots (no, no orlando vacations being offered) it IS a great idea to offer low rates for these travels.

But come on, to be charged three or two times for a system error? I may not be an IT expert but something is just not right.

What? Did I hear a lot will file complaints? They should.

Megatent National Bookstore School Supplies Relief Packing

litratongpinoy

Masinop.

Ang salitang masinop ang napaka-flexible at maaaring gamitin sa iba’t-ibang konteksto.

Mahirap mag-volunteer sa gawaing pag-impake ng mga relief goods, dahil sa ganitong gawain, gaya ng nakikita ko sa telebisyon, wala kang choice sa kondisyon at wala ka din bayad. Ngunit nung kaming mga mommy bloggers, sina Jane, Chats, Cookie, Salen at ako ay nagpasiya na sumama sa pag-impake ng mga school supplies mula sa National Bookstore mula sa Megatent (malapit sa DepEd sa Pasig), hindi naman pala gaano kahirap.

Marahil dahil ito ay bukas sa aming puso. Marahil dahil kung kami ay magkakasama, kami ay likas na masayahin at palatawa kaya nakaka-gaan sa trabaho.

Anyway…

Ang pagiging masinop ay aking ilalarawan sa aming ginawang pagtulong sa pag-impake ng mga school supplies para sa mga batang apektado ng dalawang delubyong dumaan sa ating bansa.

Ayan, mga notebook, papel, lapis at bolpen na ilalagay sa mga plastik. Kelangan masinop ang paglagay para hindi nakikita ang presyo ng notebook sa likod nito at dapat nakaayos din ang tali ng notebook para di masunog kapag sinelyuhan na ang mga ito.

Kelangan din masinop ang sistema upang mapadali ang pagtrabaho, tipong nasa assembly line.

Sa susunod na linggo, kelangan pa din nila ng volunteers ulit para sa pag-impake ng mga gamit na may kasamang mga bag.

Punta lang kayo sa Megatent, malapit sa DepEd sa Pasig, NBS Foundation people will be at Megatent from Tues-Fri next week, 3pm to 12MN.

Still on Typhoon-related Issues

Panic buying. Health issues. Flooding.

These are just some of the issues that this country has to deal with and I think I haven’t even scratched the surface.

One of the major concerns are the bodies being retrieved due to death from the flash floods.

I am wondering though if having a mortgage life insurance would assure one of having to deal with these things easier.

And God help us as we brace ourselves to face another supertyphoon.
