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...

My Thoughts



When I have a problem I tend to keep my thoughts in my head

I find it easier to write or type it in Microsoft Word

I put all my feelings on a piece of paper or type it in my laptop

I can easily express what I am feeling inside when I write it up

All my thoughts comes out and what I am feeling comes out easily not like anyone who can express themselves in front of a person

I grew up being self centered and kept my thoughts away from everyone

I wrote poems that no one knew only my close friends

I shared it with them 

They tend to use it for whomever they plan to date

How do you express yourself?

I see people expressing themselves by the way they dress when they are feeling high and feeling down.

I see people drinking alcohol with a group of friends or just being alone at home.

I see people buying clothes or unnecessary item to relieve the pain they are feeling inside.

I see people eating up and filling up their stomach until they can not stand up.

I see people cleaning and rearranging their home to remove all the memories they had from a break up.

I have friends who hibernate themselves from the world around them. 

I see people post in the social media what comes in their mind

Everyone in this world shows a different way how they feel when they are feeling down in the dumps.

How does someone return back to life?

Sometimes people need to be left alone to figure what is the next step

Some people need a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on

Some people need a ear to listen and give them the right advice

Some people express themselves in a different way 

We tend to find other meaning of life when we have discovered our friend has always been with us even when we are feeling the lowest moment in our life

Not many people can find a friend that is always there for them and will not judge who they are

What kind of friend are you?

I have close friends who tend to be secretive.

I have close friends who open up about their life.

I have close friends who just come and go when they need a friend.

I have close friends who are always next to your side.

I have close friends who lie about their life and make you a fool believing their stories

I have close friends who talk behind your back.

No matter what kind of friend you are I am not the type who will judge you for your actions

I am not the type of person who reacts and get mad easily

I am a friend who is always there for you

I am a friend who I don't take my friends for granted

I am a friend who is there when you need me

I am a friend who will drive you around and bring you where you want to go

I am a friend who can cook you a meal

I am a friend who you can always rely on

I am a friend who you can trust 

I am a friend who is nice to everyone

I am a friend who gives moral advice and give courage

For me all my friends you will always be in my thoughts

One thing I hate the most if you lie and hold a secret 

That is one thing I can no longer trust


That trust will take a long time for me to open my heart again
