By the way, my son was invited to a kid’s birthday party the other day. We were supposed to go to a children’s game show, but as soon as we got out from the gate to our house, the birthday celebrant reminded Janjan that it was his birthday. Janjan got surprised because he already forgot the birthday party. Anyway, the party was held at the celebrant’s house, and they just rented tables and chairs. I like the tablecloth design. It matched on the theme of the birthday party. Anyhow, the birthday party saved me from spending money for the children’s game show. Thanks to Charles for inviting Janjan on his birthday last Sunday.

Bukidnon or Highlander

Last month, I accompanied my son on his Football Tournament, which was held in Camp Philips, Del Monte, Bukidnon. It took 6 to 7 hours drive from Davao City to Camp Philips, Bukidnon. We left Davao around 5:00 in the morning, and along the way to Bukidnon; we passed many beautiful mountain views. Everybody inside the van was amazed how beautiful the clouds are. The kids love the foggy mountains. They were telling that we were in heaven already because of the fogs. :) As we were about to reach the camp, we passed this very wide and big pineapple field. I was amazed the size of this beautiful field full of pineapple. Some were just started to plant, and some are ready to harvest.

Bukidnon means highlander or mountain dweller, and this province considered to be the food basket of Mindanao because they produced rice, corn, pineapple, bananas and sugarcane.

White Sand Beach in Samal Island

My son wanted to go back to in this beautiful beach in Samal Island, and he wanted me to invite his football team, so they could enjoy the blue water white sand beach. I already have contacted some of them, but they couldn’t decide it yet because of financial matters. I wish I have lots of money, so I could just pay all the expenses, but unfortunately, I am just a stay at home mom. Anyway, the school vacation has not yet been ended, so we still have time to save a little money for our swimming escapade in Samal Island.

 

Yes, I Will Marry You!

In woman’s life, one of the most memorable moments of her life was when the boyfriend proposed a marriage to her. Looking at your boyfriend holding a ring while half kneeled, and was asking if you would marry him, was the most exciting, thrilling, electrifying, especially if you were asked in front of many people.

I have seen so many proposals in public, like at the mall, park, inside the plane, and in front of their relatives and friends. If you are a woman, you would definitely fathom the feeling when a boyfriend proposed a marriage. And even if you were just one of the witnesses of this special moment, you would also want to answer “yes”; I will marry you!

 

 

Anyway, if you have been looking for diamond engagement rings, there are lots of beautiful and attractive designs of engagement rings with different sizes and designs of diamonds you could find on the World Wide Web. I actually have found a very beautiful diamond engagement ring a while ago, and I grabbed the photos which I posted above. Beautiful, isn’t it? I wish I have a boyfriend right now, and I will show him where he could find an engagement ring if he wanted to marry me. Ha ha ha.

Call the Hotel Directly

Most hotel offer 10% to 20% discounts for people over age 60 here in the Philippines, except for the foreigners. They also sometimes give discounts to student, veteran, and some other group.Before you make your reservations, you can call a few of the larger hotel chains to find out if they have hotels in the area, how much they charge and whatever they have any current sales or discounts.

You will almost always save money by calling the hotel directly instead of booking through the chain’s toll-free number. Book your room well in advance, so the hotel agent knows you have time to shop around. And don’t accept the first rate offered to you. Many hotels have a fallback rate that they will quote if, and only if, a customer is reluctant to accept the standard rate. By the way, some hotels will give you a discount for paying cash instead of using a credit card.
