Flying To The Philippines
My flight to the Philippines is scheduled on Saturday, January 30. It is my first time to fly with Cathay Pacific Airways and I am really excited about it. After stumbling upon the many positive reviews written about Cathay online, I am looking forward to my very first experience with the airline. Will I be joining the list of satisfied customers of Cathay? I hope so!
I've sat down with my boyfriend an hour ago and made a list of the things I am supposed to bring with me to the Philippines. I've also created a shopping draft which still remains incomplete. As of now, my shopping list contains at least two pair of stilettos, Fubu shirts for my boyfriend, shorts, dresses, a handbag, brassieres from Avon, a makeup kit and pyjamas. One important detail I will be checking tomorrow is my economy. Fingers crossed, I will be having enough money in my bank account to enjoy my vacation to the fullest.
Before I forget, I will also try to contact some of my blogger friends who are in the Philippines during my vacation. Meeting some of them is a dream come true for me.
I went through some of the important papers I would need to take along with me - e-ticket, my birth certificate (just in case a situation would require it), school paper and my passport. While doing so, my health insurance sheets showed up. I wasn't able to choose last year which health insurance company to go for but would certainly be making the decision within this year or early in 2011. I could still recall a friend in San Francisco who also had a hard time concluding which health insurance company to choose. She requested for KaiserQuotes in California which provided her the details she needed for her family. "Good for her!", I thought. I would one day sit down with the quotes I received and determine which one would be best for me.
I still have a whole week to prepare everything before my travel to the Philippines begin. I expect to fix every little thing as soon as possible to avoid stress and pressure. Wish me luck!

Wow, that's great that your trip to the Philippines is coming so soon!
ReplyDeleteThat would be so great to see you meet up with many blogger friends which we both share many of them in common! I know the stories and entries will be endless!
Have a great night my very dear blugging friend! :* ;) :)
weeeeeeeeeeeeeh!stilettos for me!?!LOL! :-P
ReplyDeletehappy trip te maxi!not really sure if i can come to Mla..huhu! :'( :'( :'(
ReplyDeleteHala! That is just a week from now, Maxi! You have a safe trip, ok? So you love Avon Brassieres? ;-) I am a Triumph loyalist. I can endorse their product for free, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI hope I am one of the few bloggers that you can contact and eventually we can have a rendezvous :-)
That is, if you can fly down south :) :) :) :)
Wow! have a safe flight po :) I'm sure mag eenjoy kayo dito siguro sobrang namiss mo na Pinas hehe
ReplyDeleteMaxi, I flew Cathay Pacific one year from Bangkok to Mumbai and I thought their service was superb...and that was just in coach. The best flight and service I ever had was San Francisco to Bangkok, business class, using mileage, on Singapore Airlines, in 1997 - and back again - I never wanted to get off the plane!! Then, I also had a fabulous flight, business class, from San Francisco to Rome, on KLM, this past OCT for my 65th birthday. also using mileage - seats reclined completely, great foods and wines, wonderful service.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous trip and visit home!
Maxi,
ReplyDeleteGreat to news that the trip is now an official go ... Enjoy and be safe ... looking forward to the pics!
Hi Maxi! You may already be used to the cold there, but just a heads up. It's still a bit cool here in the city in the early mornings so you might want to bundle up when you sleep. It's also a bit cool after sundown so better be sure to bring a jacket along especially if you're going shopping in MOA at night. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteHi Maxie! yeas that was me who left a msg here days ago and asked you about Sheila Acala... Sorry if I didn't leave my site... Anyway, kainggit ka naman kasi uuwi ka na ng pinas soon... Hope you have a safe trip and take plenty of pictures and post some here para mas mainggit ako.. hehehe
