So far, I traveled via airplane only once and that was six years ago when my sister and I went to Manila for a weekend getaway. We landed at NAIA and if I were to assessed NAIA during that time, I can say that somehow they have the 4C's that every airport should have:comfort, convenience, cleanliness and customer service. If I were to compare NAIA to our then Lumbia Airport, there is really a big difference. I am just wondering why NAIA was voted as one of the world's worst airport! How did it happened? When I was there 6 years ago, I appreciated a lot of things except for the fact that all the items being sold inside the airport were very expensive. Other than that, I enjoyed the moment we linger there while waiting for our flight.

Well, I cannot really assess that far considering that the 6 years span of time can really make a huge difference. Well I just hope that the government, specifically the Department where NAIA's concern belongs to shall do something to make NAIA a better airport the next time they will have their worldwide annual assessment. I believe that airport should be the first thing to consider when it comes to development IF we aim to lure more foreign investors here in the Philippines. How could they pour and entrust their resources with us when by the time they landed at the tarmac, all they can see and feel are the negative feed backs.

I am positive that the government have already plans to address this issue. And hopefully, if given another chance to take another flight for Manila, I could only hope that the 4C's that I have experienced before with NAIA will be the same or much more better then.

Christmas is indeed in the air. Most of our local radio stations played Christmas jingles. Some residents in our community have already decorated their home with Christmas lanterns. And as expected, Christmas presents should not be absent during Christmas celebration. I wonder what will I receive this year. Last year, somebody gave me a perfume and I just love it. as for me, I didn't get to do some Christmas shopping because I have a baby and at the same time I was pregnant too during that time and I was too lazy to beat the Christmas rush. It never occurred to me then that I could do shopping online.

For me, online shopping is good especially for busy Moms like me. At least with just few clicks, you'll get your order without going through the long queue. Just do it ahead of time, considering the delivery period. With online Christmas shopping or even on other occasions  you can really choose what you want in accordance with what you can afford. You can also get to have a unique Christmas presents just like dog gift baskets. Isn't it unique? Who would have thought that pets can have their share of gift baskets too? I am pretty sure, pet lovers out there will be delighted upon knowing this.

If you are wondering where you can have this dog gift basket, just visit www.bisketbaskets.com. They specialized in hand-created gift baskets in variety of categories including gourmet Christmas gift baskets, new baby gift baskets, and of course like what I have mentioned, they also sell pet gift baskets.

Oh how about these:

My parents were both raised from Bohol and among us five siblings, it is only me who didn't get the chance to explore the wonders of that place. Now that I have my own family, I vowed to myself that we will visit Bohol in two to three years from now. The last time that I was there was more or less eight yeas ago during the death of my grandpa.

I've never been to Chocolate Hills, nor to the famous old churches. I never saw a real tarsier. But I promised myself that sooner than later I will conquer them all.

But this morning's 7.2 magnitude earthquakes seems to tell me that there'll be no sooner than later because they were gone.

I felt sorry for all Boholanons, to my Mom and my relatives, who treasured much those memories that were ruined by the earthquake, especially the historical churches.

The said churches may hold a special place in our Philippine heritage and history, but let us not be totally devastated because the churches maybe gone but our faith shall remain intact to our Lord Jesus Christ who will be back soon. The churches were just an edifice, built by human hands and was entrusted to us by our ancestors. Its ruin doesn't mean that our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior goes with the damage. NO. Let us not forget that it is not the home that matters most, but rather it is the owner of that home. Meaning, it's not the building but to whom we built that for. If Jesus Christ really is the occupant of that churches, let us be at peace to remember that Jesus' final home is not here on Earth but in heaven.

History is a history. They were already written on history books. What happened recently will mark another history for the next generation. Let us not lose heart because it has already been known that nothing will last on Earth- indeed, that historical churches just finally come to its end. Let's learn to accept that. :)

Lazada gave me a discount voucher worth 1K that will expire soon after accomplishing their offer. And I'm not gonna let that happen so I ordered for a cheaper Tablet that will only get me to pay less than 2K. And because of that, my monthly budget for regular expenditures was adjusted and somehow it causes me some stress LOL! Well, anyway, I got my tablet and so far I love it, my son love it too because he'll get to see his favorite educational videos.

I ordered the tablet last Monday and I received it 3 days after! I thought it will took them 10 days to deliver for orders from outside Manila area. Anyway, thanks Lazada for that expedite delivery.

I still have a P300 worth discount voucher that will expire soon too. But it has a required minimum purchase of 3K. Just in case you are interested just inform me because it is transferable anyway :)

First, I received a comment on my other blogs from their Online Marketer asking me if I am interested to their offer and of course who am I to decline? I immediately emailed her expressing my interest (obviously!). I was once asking my other blogger friends who posted an items from Lazada if how did they avail it and they told me that Lazada representative emailed them. Then I started wishing and hoping that they too will email me. I used to delete an email with comment approval notification, but that particular comment, I was just curious if who left me some note on my blog and I was really surprised upon knowing that indeed it is from Lazada!

So, after some emails exchange, and complying to their requirements, I am now featured on their "Featured Blogger" page. See?
