My Favorite Coffee And Some Travel Tips

My friend N got back from the Philippines. She granted my request to bring me a pack of 3-in-1 instant coffee. I am so happy because that is my favorite coffee.

N had a two-week vacation in the Philippines. She said two weeks is just a short time because some of her travel plans were canceled. Instead of catching up those plans on the early days of her vacation, she just went home to her province and spent most of the days with her family. She really had a wonderful time, I saw it on the pictures she took.

What made N really disappointed was, the prices of the necessities back home went up really high...almost doubled. She told me that she watched her budget. N advised me to be very wise with our spending when we go for a vacation to the Philippines so we will not caught out of hand. Gee, even airlines' excess baggage check charges had geared up. Now my honey have to watch for our luggage's weights.

I appreciate N so much for giving us some tips and bringing me a pack of my favorite coffee :) Welcome back N!

Gifts And Stuff Are In Transit

As usual, the package we sent are full of stuff which includes the gift for my mother on her birthday. My honey and I bought some body essentials for the family.

The most special gift we have for my mother is a couple of nice tops. My mother likes blouses. She can pair them with any jeans, skirts, or shorts. Finding those blouses was never difficult because I just looked at clothing catalog online. She will surely like the trendy style of the clothes. The comfortable make is another advantage since the weather back home is unpredictable.

My mother appreciates all the things given to her. Clothing is one of her interests. That is why the women's Clothing Catalogue on the Internet helps a lot on my online shopping. I just have to be very careful with the size selection. But price wise, I get a big of a deal when I shop online. As early as now, online clothing stores displays their fall clothing collection for sale. Wide selection of trendy women's clothes are available. Prices are very low on sale items too.

Oh well, enough of the talking. What matters to me now is that, my mother will get the blouses and the other stuff by first week of October.


Shipping Service Comparison

We sent another package full of stuff to my family in the Philippines few weeks ago. This time, we are getting the service of Forex (head office is in Houston, Texas). I read about Forex's delivery services online. Actually, some of my online friends (Filipina) uses Forex to send their packages to the Philippines. We are still using our banks (PNB) rapid delivery service. But we want to try something new, hopefully, better. I think there is nothing wrong with shipping service comparison. We just want to know which shipping company has the cheaper and yet the better service.
