The Manor Hotel

May 26, 2008

At last another off season promo from The Manor! For those who are visiting Baguio-Benguet From June to September 2008, you will really love to stay at The Manor because now you can enjoy two nights in their cozy suites for the regular price. Yes! that’s like 50% off on hotel rates.

I visited The Manor just this month when we were looking for a hotel for out foriegn visitors and found out that The Manor  have nice carpeted rooms. Price range from almost P5,000 to P12,000 for the the different rooms that they offer in the hotel. 

For those who do not know yet, The manor is located in the former US Base Camp John Hay in Baguio City. That place is surrounded by pine trees, a golf course and gardens. It is not that far from the City Proper but you can still enjoy the peace and quiet environment of Camp John Hay.

Real Paid to CLick Programs

There was a time when I got so interested with Paid to Click (PTC) and Paid to Read (PTR) programs years ago. I even spent sleepless nights just clicking and reading to earn a good amount… but then I got disappointed when payment never came. So I stopped doing PTC and PTR programs. 

Lastweek, I stumbled upon a PTC program in sulit.com.ph. I said to myself (again) there’s no harm in trying— so i tried. I got amazed because with barely 2 weeks in the program, I was able to earn about $35 (as of this time). Money can be processed throug AlertPay.  

I want you to try it also. Registering is FREE and all you have to do is click and view on ads in order for you to get paid. Learn more about the program by clicking >>> here.

If you wan to learn more about the program you can just visit bux.to and start earning online too. You can do this while you are surfing the internet.  Click on the picture below to view my stats for May 26, 2008.

Summer Time

March 11, 2008

I always looked forward to summer time. I love the weather during this time because it is the time when families get together for reunions, road trips to the beach, and a vacation in the province. In my younger years, my sister and I used to spend summer at Acop or at Daclan, Bokod.

At Acop, we stayed at our Lolo Pablo’s(Fernando) place. Our aunties and uncles near our age were our playmates. We used to climb pine trees and mullberry trees and made it our "bahay-bahayan".We played with those plastic dish and cook wares, which we filled with gumamela and weeds we can find to serve as our "play food". We also went to gather those wild berries on a hill where the Municipal Hall stands. There were a few houses back then unlike now. We also took rides on our candle waxed wooden boards to slide on the slopes of the hill. We had so much fun playing outside. Just like in Acop, we did similar activities when we were at Daclan. You can call us "batang Yagit" with our dust covered legs and feet. We loved the freedom that summer time gave us.

During summer time, we didn’t only have play time. We were also made to do our share of the house chores. We cleaned the house, washed dishes, and even cleaned the backyard full of weeds. After helping with the chores, we are given the time to play nintendo. We only played nintendo when the weather doesn’t permit us to play outside. However, there were times when we still played outside even when it rained, we would do some car washing and at the same time wash our clothes.

 Those were the days…

With my work, I am going to spend my summer time inside the office. I only have weekends to enjoy the summer time with my family. The Holy week is also approaching and I am thinking of going home to Daclan to enjoy the mountain breeze while visiting our loved ones. It’s nice to be away from our computers sometimes, because staying infront of our computers only makes us work— which I am guilty of especially when I bring home work. I spend most of my time finishing tasks given to me so that I can have time to do other lined-up tasks.

But then again, I should give all my time to my family when I am not at work. They are precious and lost time cannot be brought back. I’m planning to bring my family back to my dad’s home town to enjoy the short summer break and I hope it will be another time for my children to get to know their lolos, lolas, aunties, uncles and cousins.

Welcoming 2008

December 30, 2007
Another year to grow and learn…
… to live and let live
… to love and be loved
… to forgive and be forgiven
 
Another year to practice what we learned…
… and unlearn what should be unlearned-
- being selfish when I should be giving
- uncaring when I get busy with my work
- insensitive to other people's feelings when I should have listened
- being inconsiderate when I should help instead
- complaining when I should be thankful for so many blessings
 
Indeed 2007 has taught me a lot of things that will be helpful in the coming year. Friends I made and lost— GAINED me true friends.
 
My new job has given me new experiences and brought me to places I have never been to before.
 
New Insights gained… skills enhanced.
 
All of these things will help me get through another year.
 
I PRAY for His blessings to come, not only in my home but in your home too. So that each of us will welcome 2008 as another year to fulfill what we are here for…
