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...

Splurging

Coming back from traveling and not realizing all the good food you have eaten and the diet you had before went back to you gaining the weight you didn't expect to gain.

As you come back home certain clothes no longer fit you because you have gained weight from all the different kind of food you ate and even if you walked for hours at your tour and walking to explore you lost no weight because when you got tired all you did was go back in eating something you called, splurging because you are in a different place and they don't have that kind of food when you return back to your homeland.

As people see you coming back in your homeland someone mistake you as being pregnant and that is when you begin to look at yourself and place yourself back to the healthy mode that you are coming back into reality that you are no longer on vacation.

As summer is approaching people start going on a diet to fit into their summer clothes or clothes to make the sexy, beautiful or built with muscles and handsome all over again.

Even when someone says, you look pregnant you get mad at those people saying you are not pregnant and you complain to them. All they do is laugh at you and you begin to look at yourself in the mirror if it is really true. You find out your clothes are too big for you and is falling off your waist and realize it is just an image they see from you.

You go back to the diet mode and start eating healthy to hope you will be able to lose your weight when your next vacation you have planned out you will look good when you take a picture again.

My friend was telling me I look fat on our video call. She laughed at me and said, I lost more weight from you as she shows me her stomach from the mirror how thin she looks compared to me.

I figure I can lose that weight if I wanted too and I can go back to how I had looked before. I figure I won't be seeing my friend from two months from now and it gives me enough time to lose the weight.

Some people like to compete with each other like we are having a race to see who looks better.

Some people just tell me just to balance the food I eat and my weight will fall into place and to start exercising to lose the flab in your arms and stomach that is starting to show.

Good luck to those have a goal to reach the weight they want for the upcoming summer!
