I used a dog as this post’s featured image on purpose because dogs always elicit a happy mood. You’re welcome.

What has become of social media nowadays?

Here’s mine: People putting someone who barely cares about them on a pedestal and at the same time, arguing and lambasting anyone who thinks differently and has a different opinion of their person on social media. Right from the moment you decide to stand by someone who doesn’t know you at all at a personal level, then it gets worse when you start cutting off people you have years worth of relationship with, just because you do not agree on this one thing?

Sigh, social media. I love and hate you at the same time. I thought you are suppose to connect people together? You’re only conveniently breaking us apart.

Once upon a time, I used to wave the Millenial flag high and proud. I used the word loosely, thinking that it only means a word to describe myself who’s in her twenties. Basically, a one-word term to further shorten the term “twenty-something”. This word is so overused around the internet that it eventually began to annoy me. Over and over again. Every one is a millenial. Well okay it’s stupid to dwell on how redundant that is; we all age and step in to our twenties eventually, and leave eventually, too.

PS: This may not be a pretty post, or one you’ll agree with. 🙂

Post offices in the Philippines are either a hit or miss. You either love them or you hate them. Not all post office here are the same, especially when it comes to the customs policy for incoming packages from around the world.

Local parcels aren’t a problem. You’ll receive with no inconveniences. Letter type of mails are delivered properly to the addressee. On the other hand, when it’s letter mail or a parcel (regardless of its size) that came from anywhere outside the country, it will be held for customs inspection and you have to personally go there to (as I like to call it) bail out your package.

..temporarily, for that matter.

As I’m typing this blog post, there is a shared post circulating on Facebook that Cebu Pacific Air will have their yearly, most-awaited, famous Piso Fare seat sale promo this week. If this was year 2015, I would have been aware of this much earlier than a day before. Maybe a month, tops. The news would have circulated much earlier on Twitter by then. But I am not that active in Twitter anymore.

I know you wanna just head over to the Cebu Pacific website right now and seal a sweet flight booking before it runs out.. so go here, CebuPacificAir.com and book before the Piso Fare seats promo run out. Be wary that the website often crashes because many people are accessing the website at the same time.

Gosh, I miss traveling. Gone are the days that whenever there is a seat sale promo online, and coincidentally I have just enough funds in the bank, that I would be able to purchase rountrip tickets to a random destination somewhere in the South East Asia. I can only randomly book flights to destinations where a Travel Visa is not required beforehand, or that it’s issued upon arrival. So yeah, that probably limits my out of town solo getaways to either Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, and a few more I’m sure that doesn’t come to mind at the moment. Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, anyone?
