I just want to share my plight with Globe last April and May. Last April, I was able to jailbreak my Iphone thus I called up globe two weeks before my period cut-off to install the internet. I was told that I only have to text TIME so that I can have internet using my iphone anytime I want. This being said, my understanding is that I control the flow of gprs in my Iphone because of "TIME". Then after two weeks, a globe representative suddenly called me and informed me that my bill reached to P6,000. I told him that I didn't know that it accumulated to that huge amount that I immediately told him to cut off my internet facility. In turn, I removed the "internet.globe.ph" in the configuration of my iPhone. The globe ... read more

What would be more exciting than to cap the year with a good, relaxing vacation. My sister and I chose Las Vegas as my aunt lives here. Honestly, as plenty of people flock California due to abundant population of Filipinos here, I am so glad my aunt chose to live here. Extreme weathers (too cold that its almost snowing and too hot during summer that you will feel the hottest air you could encounter) did not leave a negative impact on us since we would LOVE to experience some cold weather once in a while (being in Manila's uber hot weather can be a little stressing at times). What I love about Las Vegas is the wonderful lights coming from the casino spread across The Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard). Another good thing about staying in the ... read more

DAY 1 I always loved the beach. If there's one thing in the world where I want to stay for the rest of my... it would involve somewhere with pure white sand, crashing waves with a hint smell of the salty sea. Having been to some parts of the Philippines (Boracay, Coron Palawan, Cebu and Batangas) and Honolulu, Hawaii, nothing prepared me for El Nido. This paradise situates at the Northern tip of Palawan and is normally 8 hours if via the Sweety and Euleen Joy bus from Puerto Princesa airport. Seven (7) hours via Fort Wally (due to stopover in Roxas and Taytay). But if you're lucky to be picked by your resort in El Nido, travel time will be reduced to 6 hours. It all started with a Cebu Pacific flight that we got ... read more

DAY 1 This was my first time in Singapore. And of course, it the trip was made better because of the friends I am with. Anyway, here's some of the highlights of our singapore trip. We arrived from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia via Air Asia in Changi Airport. We got our tickets for only P800 due to advanced booking (we waited for the discount from Air Asia website). FYI, only Tiger Airways and Cebu pacific uses Changi Budget Terminal. All other airlines land in Changi International Airport. Upon arrival in changi, we were delighted to know that they have internet kiosks which are for free. The thing is, it will log out automatically after 15 mins. There are various wa... read more

DAY ONE We arrived in Philtranco bus station in @ exactly 6:00am just in time for the bus to leave for Megamall which will directly take us to Clark Airport. The good thing with having Pasay Terminal as your main hub would be less people boarding which leads to less worries of not able to get a seat. In about 30 minutes, the bus arrived in Megamall to take some passengers in. This time, the bus got full and some of the passengers were no longer accomodated. But luckily Philtranco has another bus coming over at 7:00 to pick the rest of the passengers to clark airport. We arrived in Clark Airport at around 9:00am, which is too early for our flight but it was ok. Better early than late. We paid P1,620 for the travel ... read more
