when 'ber' months start, PI starts the Christmas feels

I am not quite sure if this 'tradition' is just common in the Philippines or anywhere else, but when September 1 steps-in, this is when the Christmas feels starts to step in. Well at least here in the Philippines as I am quite aware of it.

Some may begin decorating for Christmas this early on. But not for me.😃

You already begin to hear Christmas carols playing in the background in some establishments already which is like having a feeling of longing for Christmas.

As my contribution to this tradition, I just usually begin to play Christmas carols but not really on blast. Not to be over-exaggerating. The term is 'sakto lang'.

I usually begin to put Christmas decors during Halloween period so that when November steps in, the decors are already in full-blast and somewhat in place already for a longer time.

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la..."

This has been the second Christmas coming where we are still beset with the Covid19 pandemic. The last year we are bereft of any festivities or gatherings. But I really truly feel that this is the true essence of Christmas...to be able to spend and celebrate it with your family...face masked or without.

~ ang pasko ay sasapit pa lang kaya tayo ay magdiwang ~

It's time everyone flies...but with Cebu Pacific? Not anymore...

I am going to set this one straight...this has been Cebu Pacific's catch phrase for their air transportation services, "Cebu Pacific Air - It's time everyone (every Filipino) flies". I would like to share this horror experiences I encountered with Cebu Pacific, from ticketing up to actual date of departure. So here goes the story: It was January 9, 2008 that I decided to book a flight for 7 PAX to Puerto Princesa. I booked via their Customer Service Hotline Number. I was booked for a roundtrip ticket from MNL - Puerto Princesa and vice versa. I was given a confirmation day on January 12, 2008 on/before 3:00 PM. Ticket fare is P4,515 per head. Came January 12, 2008, a Saturday - I made my way to their ticketing office in Robinson's place, Manila to confirm booking and pay for the tickets. It was a rainy Saturday and I wasn't able to get on time (before 3:00 PM), but fortunately, I was able to have the confirmation time extended upon informing the Ticketing Agen...

Teambuilding in Subic

The week before, I joined my co-employees for a team-building sessions in subic bay freeport zone. It was fun coz it was really the first time that me and my officemates are sheltered in one roof for 4-days and 3-nights. It was fun, wacky, dramatic, and scary. I really like the staff house we lived at. It was cozy, comfortable, but haunted (?). The staff house is an remodeled ranking-officer's home way when subic was still owned by the US Navy, rumors has it that the house a block away from where we stayed was haunted by that ghost of an african-american man. Well, some of the officemates can attest that they experienced it, but not me. I liked the ambiance and environment in subic but truth be told, I wasn't thrilled by it anymore. It still has the same sights as compared to the last time i was there, with not much changes. Well, had been there a number of times years back. And the beach, well, it still is clean but itchy. I dunno what about the seawater there that is itchy. ...

my new mobile phone

At last, I have already purchased and selected a new phone and what's great about it is that it wasn't in the list I have provided earlier this week. But, it's still an android phone nonetheless. It's the Huawei Y300 phone which is actually a new released model from the Chinese mobile giant. What's good about it is that it's very cheap for the features it have. Already dual-core processor with 512 MB internal RAM. The RAM is the only-downside, but nevertheless if you are just after the phone for making calls, SMS, a little multi-media, web surfing, and a little gaming just like me then this phone is definitely for you. One good thing though is that skype videocalling and google hangouts work on this unit too which is a good factor. And the design and size fits like an iphone to me.
