I've always had positive experiences with American call centers. Here are some of my experiences:

1. Victoria's Secret: Days after I bought an item, I surfed their site and saw that the price for the item went down a few dollars. I read a tip at www.retailmenot.com (a site full of coupons for various stores) and put it into action. I contacted their ( Read more... )

Been a long time since I last posted an entry, so here are my April highlights off the top of my mind.

Taiwan Trip with my family

Half the time was spent on inter-city travel (since we covered about 5 cities in 8 days), but I still would have loved this trip had it not for our tour guide. He was supposedly the best in the travel industry when it ( Read more... )

I had praises for Malaysia the last time I went there - you can read my observations and comments in my journal entry last year. However, this time our Malaysia experience left a lot to be desired. I loved walking the Sky Bridge of the Petronas Twin Towers, and I enjoyed shopping for Vincci shoes. But I hated the taxi drivers. Gusto ko silang ( Read more... )

Day 0: Flight
* 8:30 PM Cebu Pacific flight from Manila to Singapore
* Check-in at Fern Loft Backpackers Hostel at Chinatown (hostel was clean and accessible, but lights out at 11:00 PM meant we had to fix our stuff outside the room or look for them in the dark inside the room). It meant no talking inside as well, as we shared the room with other ( Read more... )

February 21-24 was spent at Camarines Sur with office friends. Fun fun fun!

Day 1: Caramoan
* Arrival at Naga airport at ~7:30 AM where geebee_109 , miagurl , Tricia, TJ, Don and I met with Kian and hellgod_13  who rode the bus. Alvin went two days ahead to Quezon, his home province, to meet with balikbayan cousins, while Kian had ticket booking problems.
* Took the boat from ( Read more... )

Ok, so not exactly on the same day.

[LAIYA OUTING]

Last weekend (Feb. 5-6 since Feb. 5 we had a forced leave / shutdown), we spent an overnight at Laiya, Batangas for our CDW L3 / CPM / CDW Team C teambuilding. We had lunch at Lipa (or was it Batangas City?) en route to Laiya, the arrived at Triple G Resort after lunch. I think we were about 18 of us ( Read more... )

It was a bright, sunny morning on January 17, 2009 when James and I went to school (ADMU) to request a copy of his sister's transcript. Or so I thought. We strolled around the dormitory area and saw the new dorm buildings that didn't exist during our time as dormers. We stopped at the overlooking Marikina spot (more known to dormers as O.M.), where ( Read more... )

Here's a scene that was not published in the Twilight book. In the original Twilight manuscript, Bella, Edward, and Alice stayed behind in Phoenix while she healed and then drove home passing through Las Vegas on the way.  This scene takes place in an unnamed Las Vegas casino.  Bella still has a cast on her leg.

On the other hand, here's a funny ( Read more... )

I had lunch with some of my high school barkada yesterday, and it was nice catching up with old friends. I haven't seen Riza and Richard for two years, whereas Joan and I last saw each other probably during college years. It has been a long time. Thanks guys, it was fun seeing you all again. And thanks Joan for the treat! :D Joan celebrated her ( Read more... )
