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...

Sleeping Pattern

A week ago I have been having a hard time sleeping and I notice my pattern of my sleeping changing I would sleep at 2:00 AM wake up after one hour sleep or two end up turning on my internet and see who was online to chat with my California friends back home. I felt someone was thinking of me because I seemed to be restless and my eyes we’re tired but for some reason I couldn’t shut my eyes to sleep. There is a saying here in the Philippines when you have a child and they will be separated from you they ask you not to think of them. I remembered a long time ago my in-law had visited a relative who had a baby living aboard. The baby couldn’t sleep on its sleeping pattern because someone was thinking of him and it had affected the baby. The baby kept crying and no matter if you’ve given them their milk or change their diaper nothing seems to help them. The parent had to call up their in-law to stop thinking of the baby and all a sudden after that calls the baby was ab...

Gap Between Friendship

What I had notice during our sheltered stay at home we seem to have a lot of time to reconnect with our friends who seem to busy working or taking care of the household at this time in our life we seem to have more time to chat, talk over the phone and catch up what has happened to the days or years that has crossed off our calendar. We realized how much we have missed during the times we had no time to reconnect with our friends and how much changes has happened in their life. As we share stories with one another we become connected to their world and we seem to be able to focus on what has happened to them and we tend to share our laughter or our tears as we listen what they have to say. Another thing I have notice you come across from old friends you have knew in the past and they start to add you in your social media and you come across to the point on getting to know each other for some many years as passed you don’t even know where to begin. You feel you have a lot...

Clarify from the Real

This generation people use filters in their pictures, food, places and any objects that they find interesting for them to make something look like it has been advertised. We hardly see anything that looks natural when they we’re just born how they look people tend to overpower themselves and cover up the imagine who they really they are not and we come to a point we can no longer recognize those people when they post it as their profile picture because the person who we knew before didn’t look how they looked. Not only filters is the trend having their plastic surgery to make them change their look forever and what happen when they have a passport and they travel how do those people get recognized when their faces look different from what is originally from their passport. Do they get rejected and need to make apply for a new passport because their face has looked different? I have a lot of friends having plastic surgery done or having facial implants. People do wh...
