It’s a body’s natural reaction to go into stress mode when an emergency strikes– unfortunately, however, that stress can make it nearly impossible to keep a level head in an emergency. Stress-related anxiety and insomnia make our already dire circumstances seem even worse, making it difficult to make quick decisions or cope with the current crisis. When an emergency strikes, it’s doubly important to try to alleviate as much stress as possible.

Surprise!!!

Cebu Pacific Air had a PISO seat sale last week. I tried to book for our wedding anniversary trip and luckily there’s promo fare available on the dates that I chose. I just had to cancel the booking because it’s too expensive for a PISO fare, IMO. The base fare is just four pesos but the add-on charges including the fuel charge is more than three thousand pesos! I’ll have to experiment on this one so I would know if getting we could really save from getting that PISO fare instead of other seat sale.

Since we are planning to go to Siquijor Island on May for Ace’ grandma’s birthday, Ace said we have to pass on this seat sale and prepare for our trip on May. So forget about Cebu Pacific Air’s Piso seat sale and move on!LOL. Later that night, there was an email coming from Anne (Ace’ sister) with the subject SURPRISE!. I immediately opened the email and was so surprised to see a copy of a round trip itinerary from Davao to Cebu. Anne and Ian booked and paid for us! Weee!

So surprised to receive this copy of itinerary from Cebu Pacific courtesy of Ian & Anne. So we'll be saying hello Cebu-Dumaguete-Siquijor on July! Thank God for super generous sis & bro!

It was indeed a surprise because they didn’t asked us of our preferred travel dates. It doesn’t matter anyway because we can bring our work anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. In half a year we will be saying hello Cebu City, Dumaguete City, and Siquijor Island! Yay! So excited! Thank God for super generous bro and sis!

Moving is a pain. Going through all your belongings and trying to decide what to keep, what to donate and why you bought it all in the first place. There is the packing, and calling in of favors to help you load a truck or car. And then there is the actual move itself. The question is where are you moving to?

If you’ve been finally kicked out of your parents’ house or have decided to move out of your own free will, you are probably heading to an apartment. And while living in an apartment can be fun and exciting, the same can’t be said for finding an apartment.

If you plan to move in the same city you may have the luxury of time to drive around and visit potential places to live in person. If you are short on time or plan to move to a new city, perhaps even one you’ve never been to, your best choice is to look for apartments online.
