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.

Saying Good Bye

Have you've ever had a moment you cannot sleep and you're wide awake? I started watching my Korean television series online the title of the show is More Than Friends. I was on an episode occurred the character's mom was in the hospital saying their goodbye to her children due to an illness she had. I couldn't stop crying and I began thinking what happen to me how I will be able to cope in that situation. I was watching the next episode at the viewing of the funeral to say your last good bye having close friends gathered around you supporting you during your toughest moment made me realize if I had those kinds of friends. In case one day it comes into that situation who will be there to guide and support me you really don't have friends who like talking about death. I have friends who are against that topic.  One day it will happen to us. I woke up looking at my social media and saw my mom's best friend had passed away. Just occurred to me if any of this was rel...

Giving Out Christmas Gifts in November

  I n our life we think ahead by giving out our Christmas gifts earlier than expect we don’t know how we will see each other again. Our Christmas gift may not be wrapped up in a Christmas wrapper what the counts is that the person was thinking of you when they have purchase the fruits for you. Among my mom’s friends we think ahead and we know what they want even if we’re not able to see in person we talk on the phone to tell each other what they have given in exchange gifts. We don’t expect the Christmas gifts to be given but we know each year the time comes we know ahead what to buy for them in our thoughtfulness we find ways to make our gifts special. You may think it is too early to give Christmas gifts in November our time is limited and when you see someone it is best to give it away for them to eat before it expires or to give clothing to wear no matter what the reason is that you have thought for them being a part of your life. I have also distributed my Christmas gifts to t...

To the White Rabbit Candy Lovers

Anything is possible candies we use to eat when we're young suddenly comes back but become a beverage. I remember when I was growing up in California heading to San Francisco with my parents after eating at a Chinese restaurant doing some grocery shopping. I would always ask my parents if I can buy my white rabbit candy and having to eat a paper that is inside melt inside your mouth. Being a kid that time I felt it was cool now you are grown up you can experience drinking it like milk in a box carton and to taste exactly like the white candy you use to love to eat. This item was given to me free from one of a seller that I had purchase some goodies online in Shopee looking at their store they sell it for PHP 60.00 ($1.20) at Hongkong House  Online Shop. Note: I am not selling White Rabbit Milk it was just given to me free from my recent purchase.
