Life’s Lessons

Burned out? Let’s travel! That’s what some friends are doing. If they feel burned out with work, they grab their suitcases and fly to wherever they wanted to go or where their pockets could bring them. I and Ace are also making it a point to travel even once a year. That I call “taking a break from the monotony of life”. Being on vacation takes puts a halt to the daily routine that becomes tiring and stressful sometimes.

Last year, we went to the country’s capital. This year, I don’t know where are we going as we have not planned about it yet. Maybe in a few months we’ll have concrete plans for this year’s vacation. How I wish we could go abroad and have a Tour to Israel! Yes, Israel is on my list of must-see places. Ayelet Tours, Ltd. is offering an Israel Tour with the experts to the different wonders of the country. I wanna experience Bar mitzvah tours Israel but we don’t have a kid to celebrate her puberty there with a special service. Maybe that would be one great experience if we have a child. But for now, just a tour around historic places is what I am looking forward to. Wish we could really fly to Israel!

More than a month to go and we will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary. Plans are not yet definite for that day. It’s either we spend a day or two in a beach resort, stay in a hotel or go for an out of town trip. But it’s a Wednesday so we might move our getaway on a weekend so we could spend a day longer wherever our destination may be. Life’s been good to us for the entire year and we’re busy with our jobs so we need that much needed rest and recreation. How we wish to be in an out-of-the country trip but resources are just limited so we might as well enjoy where our pockets could afford.

If HE will be overly generous to us and grant us our wish for a vacation abroad, we will seek the services of Collettevacations.com. They offer escorted tours and tour packagesaround the world and my pick will be one of the europe tours and asia tours. Yes, I want that two and Ace would definitely love that! I am dreaming! Anyway, we need to work harder to pursue that dream vacations. It’s not just vacation actually, because the tours will be quite educational because it is related to culture and special events. What I also look forward is the national parks tours. I love to see the national parks of different places. I really hope this dream will come to a reality one of these days.

I am a BIG fan of Cebu Pacific Air not because it is the the official carrier of JG Summit Group of Companies (where URC – my previous employer – and Cebu Pacific Air belongs) but because it is the first airline in the country that made flying possible to every JUAN. The year-round seat sale, not to mention the piso fare and other promo fares that they are offering from time to time is a big help to every Filipinos to travel conveniently by air. Gone are the days when air travel is only for the well-offs. Now even ordinary people can fly! As Cebu Pacific Air’s tagline goes…It’s time everyone flies!

My heart would leap everytime there’s a piso fare or other promo fares and wish I have a credit card so I can book a flight at that instant. Since we don’t have a credit card, I brushed off that desire to fly when there’s a promo seat fare that’s less than a thousand pesos (including travel tax and fuel surcharge). It came to the point that I wish Cebu Pacific online booking will accept payment thru paypal so we could fly! Days before the 15th president’s inauguration, I heard Cebu Pacific is offering a 15-peso seat sale so everybody went gaga trying to book a flight. I tried booking for a flight and there I discovered that there are other options for the payment. Bank payment are accepted! That’s really a good news to us who doesn’t own credit cards! All you have to do is book your flight online and you have 24 hours to pay at your preferred payment centers such as Metrobank, BDO, and other banks. Isn’t that great? So now I know. We can have the chance to avail of the super cheap seat sale (that one cannot get when booking at ticketing offices) anytime there’s a sale. Sweet!

Right now there’s a seat sale going on…it’s half the price! Go check out www.cebupaficiair.com and book your desired flight. Good luck!
