Have Luggage, Will Travel

Posted on February 25, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

The season for traveling is here. Yep, summer, undoubtedly is here, whether we like it or not. My kids are excited to travel down south to visit their grandma, my MIL.

The ports and airports are now beginning to be filled with vacationers, hauling humongous luggage and/or carting off custom cardboard boxes.

Typical with vacationers especially those going home to celebrate fiestas and the Lenten season would be to bring home big cans of biscuits to bring home to their families.

This is a question that has been asked many times: “how can you distinguish a Filipino among so many travelers in an airport?”

Well, he is the one with the most luggage because relatives of friends asked him to bring home packages for their relatives 😉

Kesehodang maiwan ang gamit niya wag lang ang padala! 😀

Nasubukan nyo na ba bumiyahe sa SCTEx? Sarap dun no? Bukod sa walang trapik, maganda pa ang tanawin.

SCTEx

Dito kami dumadaan pauwi sa bahay ng mga magulang ko, kahit na mas malayo kesa sa usual na dinadaanan at may dagdag na gastos sa toll fee, ok na din siguro yun kasiwalang mga pasaway na makakasalubong 😉

Pero alam  nyo ba na itong daan na ito ay ginagamit upang gawing mantsa laban kay NoyNoy Aquino?

Basahin nyo na lang yung link at kayo na ang “humusga”.

Ang saya (kahit hindi ako nakababa diyan dahil ako ay may sprained ankle) ng mga bata nung kami ay huminto sa tabi ng daan upang sila ay makaranas ng paglalakad sa tubig  ng ilog!

White Sand Beaches

I miss going to the beach.

Panglao, Bohol

Sure, it is icky sticky and hot out there but at least, it is a natural body of water and does not need any chemicals nor spa filters to make the water clean.

Sunset views are a sight to behold too as soft winds blow to cool the remnants of heat from the sun.

This photo was taken at Panglao, Bohol by my then 13yo daughter while they spent summer vacation in Bohol.

Airline Promo Fail

Posted on November 4, 2009 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

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.
