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...

Have you ever done self study?


My son asked, me if I have ever done self study in my life. I said, yes I have done self study by volunteer. 

My son said, what do you mean? For example ever since I started my blog I never knew how to make a website I had to self study to get where I am and I am still learning new things.

My son said, do you get paid not really because I am self employed where you give yourself an income.

I asked why he wanted to know. He said, he is doing job immersion and he is not getting paid for it. It wasn’t a choice for me I have to do it because it is required for me to graduate.

I told my son it may not be something you want to do by choice but think it is an opportunity for your future at least being 17 years old you are experiencing work for a company to see if you want to fall back in that kind of career. It gives you experience where most people don’t get a chance to some people graduate without having any job experience and fall back later not wanting the career they have graduated upon.

You’re lucky you get to experience something that is greater even if you’re not getting paid for it. The advantages you get to learn from your job immersion by getting through an interview just like if you we’re to choose to apply for a job position to an employer once you have graduated college.

At your age you have experience something that only someone who has graduated from their degree to me it is something you gain later based on your experience right now it is a pain you have to work. Later once you’re older you will be doing that every day with an income.

But life has its pathway where you gain something in return.

As for myself I decided to make changes in my life to build an opportunity for myself. Everyone learns based on our own experience nothing comes from no experiences we learn from it on our own.

Once your employer likes your performance from your work they may decide to hire you for internship and this way once you graduate from college you have a job ready for you.
