CebuPac: P12 for 2012!

I just availed the recent seat sale of Cebu Pacific. The seat sale promo is for all domestic and international flights, for the travel period of January 1 to March 31, 2012. This promotion is only valid until October 9, 2012 or until seats last. The base fare for all flights is Php 12.00. But take note that there are other charges such as taxes and web admin fee. Also, you may include insurance fee, baggage fee and seat reservation fee.

It was around 5:00 PM when I received a message from a friend about this information. Usually, I am the one who shares this info to my friends, since Cebu Pacific Air is one of my default home pages. But I was not really aware, thanks to my friend for notifying me. So, it was already late afternoon and maybe I could not find available slots anymore. Luckily, after few attempts of searching for destination, I finally found one which I have not been before. I selected the departure and arrival dates that will fall on Valentine's Day on February 2012. It took a long time for me to book since browsing on the site was so slow, maybe because there were a lot of people who were also booking at that time. The cut-off time for payment via LBC is 6:30 PM, and I was able to pay at five minutes before the cut-off. That was really fortunate. Thank God...

What makes me busy...

As a graduate student, I should be busy with academic stuff, exams, thesis or projects. But I guess most of my time have been spent here on the internet.

Due to our delayed stipends, I was encouraged to have a part-time job online, as an English tutor. If you love teaching or you just need a part-time job, then maybe you can also be a part of Rarejob. The lessons are held through skype and the students are Japanese. I just joined in Rarejob last June and I have been enjoying it. It is a good way of sharing what you learn, and at the same time learning about their culture, sharing different points of view, and enhancing your speaking skills. The schedule is also flexible, which is more convenient for students.

The next in line are group deals, which I started to watch out for last June I guess. I think it was Facebook which introduced me to this kind of game, maybe I saw it in the ads. First, I bought mega deals KFC vouchers. Next, I purchased two Splash Island tickets worth Php 250.00 each in Ensogo and the discount was more than 50% of the original price. After that, I then began to look for other deals online. Aside from these deals, I was also hooked in Ebay. I already bought two sets of items. Sometimes, it is fun just searching for items.

And the last, the paid-to-click sites which I have already started last year. I just stopped on maintaining them since I became busy with my laboratory reports. Now, I am having fun clicking ClixSense,  WordLinx, and NeoBux.

Those things I mentioned, in one way or another, involves money, either by earning or by spending.  However, I would like to take note that I am more than that. I still love to edit some pictures, create a typography or a photo collage, and post them on Facebook or Tumblr. I also love to download movies and drama series in the internet and watch them after. I also like to look for tourist spots online and travel to different countries and different places here in the Philippines.

Indeed, I still love to do different sorts of things... So what makes me busy?

History

Traveling is fun and interesting. You will learn the history of the place or the events that took place there. When we had our field trip in the museums in Manila, I have learned the essence of taking History 1 as a subject in college. Just by looking and examining the different artifacts in the museum, you will not understand them unless you have read or heard about it. In elementary and high school, the teachings in History subjects are not that enough since some of those teachings are just meant for memorizing, afterwards you will forget about them. But when you analyze and understand the occurrence, you will learn many things by heart that you will still remember them in the future. Also, in our History 1, I learned how to dig in beneath the issues, asking yourself how and why did these things happen, or how those events affect us in this present generation... Before, I was hesitant to take History 1 because many are saying that you have to memorize a lot of things in that subject. Yet my teacher proved them wrong! As a Filipino, it is essential to know and learn more about our history. As a student, now is your chance to make that happen!
