Mom Violy, Tita Edna and Carmina have never been to Iloilo . Tita Edna suggested using her Philippine Airlines mileage to deduct 9,000 miles for a round trip to Iloilo and pay taxes of about 3,000 pesos ($50.85). Mom Violy and Carmina decided to do the same. Two weeks later, we learned Bacolod was recently hit by a typhoon, leaving fewer places to visit, so we changed our plans to stay in Iloilo, paying an additional 2,057 pesos ($34.86) for January 6–9, with Tita Edna leaving one day earlier on January 8, 2026.  Tita Edna told us that she has a friend Beth who can pick us up from the airport.

Becka had moved to a new employer that is Taytay which I didn't want to travel too far just to get a haircut. Becky had mentioned she saw a parlor near the area of Timog in Quezon City. Becky said the reason she likes  Headway Vera Salon because when the people come out the ladies have beautiful hair. Becky asked Carmina if she was serious to get a haircut today. I said yes as long there is not a long line when you enter. If there is, I'll just ask for their contact number.
