This is a fact,  the NAIA terminal fee for international flight will be cut down to Php550 from Php750.  This will take affect on 1st February 2012.

Finally, the security beef up of the NAIA which started in 2007 will come to end on 1st February.  This is the main reason behind the cut down of  terminal fee rate.

And who are exempted to pay the terminal fee, they are OFW, atlethes and sports officials, foreign diplomats, transit passengers, pilgrims, refugees, airline cabin crews and deportees.  Lucky for them!

Early Plan for 2012

As early as November, I am thinking of planning a family get-away for next year.  I did not enjoy travelling a lot when I was still single and I wish to travel now with my  family.  Rey was just the same, we were more of home buddy type of people but Rey is more like a couch potato so there was absolutely no travel at all except for Bicol for myself.

Gab is going 3 years old and can tag along with our out of town trips. I will get him one of nice kelty backpacks of his own.  This way he can carry his own personal things such as towelettes, cookies and chug bottle.

I can’t wait for this, I should talk to Rey about this when he is the best mood to planning our next year agenda.

And speaking of bags, look at how Gab love bags.  This is his new favorite pass time.

The recent trip to Bicol we had about three weeks ago gave us a chance to discover a lot of things we need to improve on our car. Even on the very first trip to Bicol we had early this year, my Uncle already noticed that we don’t have enough light when driving along provincial road because we are only using 55W bulb installed on the car’s headlight.  I guess we had had enough difficulty three weeks ago when we were caught on heavy rains along the roads of  Atimonan, Quezon.  We ran at 10kph while we were totally blinded by the heavy rain fall.  Finally, Rey gave in to change bulb to a higher wattage and what’s more important is we are using the yellow lamp/light.  This type has the capacity to penetrate lights even on heavy rains.  Having full tinted windshield affects visibility too, from the inside of the vehicle, but  Rey stressed he does not want any changes on the tint and I can put up with that.  I feel safer now knowing we have a nice bulb that will not allow us to have a betterview along the road.  We certainly don’t want any accident to happen.

Along the road, my Uncle were giving me lectures left and right about prioritizing safety along the road.  Finally, when I told Rey about bad our experience during the heavy rain, he gave in to upgrade the bulb of the car.  I got a really nice brand of bulb for the headlight from atv power steering website.  They offer different accesorries for heavy duty vehicles which you can hardly find at supermarkets.  The bulb we need was shipped out in no less than 24 hours. 

Welcome home, Baby.  Promise, I wont hurt you again!!!

The car finally got home today after a nice repair from the auto shop.  Comparing the car from its old photos here, it now looks clean and brand new and beautiful.

Hot Cakes

About five years ago, flying to another country would mean becoming an OFW for an average person like me or it could be a business trip for someone having business abroad.  Nowadays, going to another county is like a daily trip to shopping malls. 

Travel deals are easily made by most of the person I new.  Airline company are selling plane tickets like hotcake.   As I write this blog, my friend blogger and officemate Dea  is now in  Hong Kong with her sister May and boyfriend Abet.  Another of our colleague, Chris just came back from a leisure from Singapore two weeks ago.  And also anytime from now, another of my colleague Jen will fly to the US, she will be away for a month.

My brother in law, Roger, had been to Hong Kong after his wedding and they are planning to go back in a years time with their daughter Yma. 

I wonder if Rey and I will plan travelling outside of the country soon…….
