Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

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...

XOXO

There are so many topics to write about that I had encountered yesterday with my mom as we’re talking in the car when we’re heading to our destination. The topic in the car was my mom was telling me she has a best friend who had post XOXO BFF Forever. My mom was asking me can someone as best friend can only be friends in that kind of way or do these people have some kind of chemistry that they become more than just friends. Sometimes you question what people post and write down in the media as they post pictures of their best friends regardless they have a commitment relationship that is not open to the public or they are just mainly best friends who just express their feelings to wildly online just for people to be curious what kind of relationship they have for each other. What happen when your best friend post pictures to female to female what do they become? Do you even ask your friend about it or do you mind your own business and not bother to question what they post...

Salad Stop!

I have been eating salad and I wish they had a Sweet Tomato Branch like in California where you can eat a salad, but have other main dish meals along with your food. There is no place like here in the Philippines that are so healthy like back home. The most places you will find in the Philippines are buffet restaurant from the healthy and unhealthy or salad places that just serve just a salad bar. Nothing compares to what you have in California just base on where you now live. I have found a place called, Salad stop is a place you can create your own salad and decide what you want to put on your own meal the healthy way. You can choose either a salad bowl or on a tortilla of your choice. Anything is possible in salad stop. Or you can choose from their menu suggested salad if you don't feel like creating your own salad. https://www.saladstop.ph/en/menu/ You can choose to visit their branch or have it delivered at your home by using Grab Food Exp...

Being Grateful

Just over the weekend my mom wanted to go shopping at Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan to get her pedicure. I was telling my mom lets do it on March 11 when I will be renewing another cell phone contract from my Globe account. Good thing my mom said, she wanted to shop somewhere else and she gave me list of days to pick out for this week. I told my mom let me check the schedule of my boys so I can figure out how I can squeeze myself in their schedule. I decided to go on Monday, March 2 with my mom. When I came home that day I had heard in the news there was a locked down in Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan. You realize to this point if I didn't choose a date to shop with my mom somewhere else we would be involve in that locked down. This is when you realize it is not your time to experience something as horrible as those 50 people have experience that day when a gun man held 50 people hostage. You realize how lucky you are and God holds you back no...

Finding Trustful Sellers in the Philippines

The best part when you visit your seller who you usually shop from at 168 Shopping Mall, 999 Shopping Mall and Tutuban Shopping Mall. They end up missing you when you haven’t seen them for a very long time. They start asking why you haven’t come by their store for awhile. You tell them you don’t go out shopping due to the coronavirus they had informed me that is not the in thing here because they don’t feel you can get it. As you are walking around with a disposable mask some people are wearing a mask just like you, there are others don’t have any mask on. The ones who are coughing don’t have a mask and you feel safe because you have one on. You also notice there are a lot of people wearing their disposable mask on the wrong way as the wire are on the area of their chin when the right way the wire is suppose to be in your nose area where you can pinch it to the size of your nose. I have seen people look at us as we pass by them, but they also have a mask on. Not ...
