Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
I don't understand why people like to ask something from someone
when they already know the person is coming over to visit you and inform you
last minute what they request you to bring for you.
This is what I hate the most
when they we're informed one month ahead that you will be coming over to visit
them.
Later you are talking to them
and letting them which hotel you will be staying at during your stay and where
you would like to spend time with them. As you have been conversation with them
as you give your agenda for your upcoming trip and give all the details where
you will meet on that certain day.
Everything is all planned up
for your venue you than hear can you do me a favor sometimes you are hesitant
to ask what they favor maybe. You don't want to be greedy because that person
will be showing you around where you have no clue how to go about in their environment
that they live in.
You say, sure what is that
favor you want me. The person tells you they miss the food in the Philippines
and would like you to bring some snacks for them.
The hardest part when you are
not familiar in what they are asking for because too much brain storming in
your head.
My family back home does that
too often ask me to bring stuff for them and I only have one week to look for
what they want.
The worse part when the item is
no longer available and the only thing you can tell your family to just buy it
where they live.
I have also encounter my in-law
asking me to buy something from California and they knew I have been away for
more than a month yet they think buying something out of the blue is easy to
purchase right away.
This all becomes a headache
when you have shipped out boxes ahead of time and thinking you would have space
in your luggage for recent purchase you have already made.
This is why I can understand
why I have relatives who decide not to tell us when they are coming and just
surprise us from their arrival. They too have to deal with family members
asking them to buy them certain stuff that they too have no space for what they
are asking for.
It becomes a pain when someone
doesn't think ahead of time and you get all stress for something that seems
already planned in your head.
