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...

Mom Violy's Experience Riding an L300 for the First Time

One week ago, Uncle Danny called up Mom Violy to inform her sister that she needed someone to drop him at the airport. Mom Violy realized her car was coding on a Thursday and asked her friend Sonny if he was able to drive his L300. Sonny said, he was available being off on that day from work. Mom Violy had informed Carmina if she can come along with her. I said yes than began thinking a concept how I can use it for my blog. I came up with the theme riding a school bus because in the Philippines people use an L300 for private school services. Other private company uses it a source of transportation for their employees or for delivery purpose. I had no problem riding in an L300. I've ridden on it in the past. Yet, for Mom Violy it was her first time. She had no clue it is difficult for seniors to climb up riding in the front near the driver. Seniors you need to assist them to climbing up. There are handles to hold on from the side. Mom Violy had no clue riding in the back it is easy ...

Who do you give your unwanted stuff?

I am sure we have friends who are having a difficult living those who live alone or have no source of family around them. Yet we are the lucky ones who can give what we no longer need by giving to someone else. Carmina looked at her belonging checking what she can give away to Becky. First, I remembered Becky needed a wall calendar that she can note down her reminders. Mom Violy had given it to me last year when she had purchased some medication.  Becky was the first person who had asked if I had a spare calendar to give to her.  I saw an alcohol spray bottle that was lingering inside our sink cabinet. I asked Becky if she wanted it for her personal use.  I remembered Becky informing her that her phone is dying, and she needs a power bank. I was able to charge it since it is not compatible with my phone. I decided to give it to Becky. Becky had informed me that her girdle I had given to her the past no longer fits because it had stretched out. Or what we call overused sin...
