To Baguio this Holy Week

April 16, 2014 12 Comments

During Holy Week, I usually don’t plan any trips. First, fares are expensive (walang promo fare or mabilis maubos pag Holy Week). Second, I don’t want to go to a crowded beach (imagine, Boracay with all those people). Third, as a Catholic school girl, medyo conservative pa rin ako, kaya aside from going to the church, staycation ang drama ko. Jeff, on the other hand, usually takes this opportunity to explore the mountains. This time, he’ll go to Kibungan Circuit in Benguet and he suggested that we’ll meet in Baguio after his adventure. I’m not really excited at first, kaya lang when we told Gwen about strawberry farm, she got excited and started praying about her trip to Baguio.

Spell RUSH. STRESSED.

Ayun, I started to check out hotels and as expected, most of them are fully booked. Thankfully, City Center Hotel has an available deluxe room good for 3 persons, I wanted the Family Room so that it’s bigger but fully booked na. This is what City Center Hotel in Baguio looks like, it’s along Session Road.

Maynilad Water Service Interruption Schedule this Holy Week

April 10, 2014 Leave a Comment

This coming Holy Week, from April 16 to April 19, 2014, Maynilad announced that there will be water service interruption in some areas of Metro Manila and Cavite.

To address the perennial flooding in Manila, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will construct an interceptor drainage box culvert along Blumentritt St.

Unfortunately, this structure will cross Maynilad’s water pipe along Juan Luna St. and Hermosa St., so we must re-align our pipe prior to the implementation of the said DPWH project.

We will need 72 hours to expose, dewater, re-align and energize our pipe because it is a 7-foot-tall primary line.

Areas affected are as follows: Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Manila, Makati, Pasay, Las Piñas, Parañaque, and Muntinlupa, as well as the whole of Bacoor, Noveleta, Cavite City, Imus, and Kawit in Cavite.

Caloocan is included in the affected area but our Barangay is not included in the list. But just the same, we’re storing water to be sure. Good thing we’re going to Baguio on Holy Wednesday so we’ll just store what we need before we go on vacation.

The complete list of water interruption schedule can be found in Maynilad website but I made an Excel file just for you dear readers. Feel free to share this info so that other people in those areas will have ample time to store water.

Weekend reset

April 6, 2014 2 Comments

Sometimes, all we need is a day to pamper ourselves to recharge and back to our daily grind. I was in dire need of a massage after my 10-miler Yakult Run, my legs are aching and going to the gym 3 times a week didn’t help. So last Sunday, I declared Do not disturb Sunday. It was timely because Jeff was out of town for a trail run too.

I sought respite at The Spa in Trinoma.

My South Sea Pearls from Palawan

April 6, 2014 30 Comments

On our Palawan trip last March (which I haven’t blogged about, sorry!), buying a South Sea Pearl wasn’t part of the plan. I’m not really into jewelries or pearls, or maybe I’m not yet on the phase that values jewelries, or maybe I just cannot afford to buy real ones :p.

More best deals from Lazada and WeChat!

April 5, 2014 6 Comments

Last week, March 26 marked the 2nd anniversary of Lazada Philippines and they celebrated it with an irresistible promotion in partnership with WeChat. Imagine buying an Android tablet worth Php 2,499 for just Php 999 only!

I was too late for that promotion too, but guess what? There’s a round 2! I told you you should really download WeChat on your phones now.

Lazada wants to show their gratitude and appreciation to their loyal customers by rewarding them with substantial discounts on best-selling items. The new promotion will give customers the opportunity to purchase their favourite Lazada items through WeChat.
