Cebu Pacific Air now offers flights to Siem Reap, Cambodia

Calvin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:15:33 +0000

Is the majestic Angkor Wat one of your must-see places in your bucket list? If yes, then you’re in for a treat because Cebu Pacific Air is now offering flights to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the home of the Angkor Wat.

They are the first local airline to offer such flight when before, Filipinos, need to go to other countries like Thailand and Vietnam just to catch a flight to Siem Reap.

Cambodia is a country where Filipinos don’t need a visa to visit.

Right now, CebPac is having a promo where you can get your one-way tickets for P888 for the travel period of April 19 – May 31, 2012. This would translate to about Php5,600 for a round-trip ticket inclusive of all those taxes and charges.

P5.6k all in is still a bit steep for a promo fare but it’s worth it. Besides, lodging and food in Siem Reap is inexpensive and it’s also a haven for backpackers.

And if you ever find yourself going to see Angkor Wat, check out Bou Savy Guesthouse where we stayed when we visited last year. You may also want to hook up with our licensed tour guide, Sen, when you get there.

Great news huh?

Give us a direct flight to Bali next CebuPac.

Aloha Boardsports Clearance Sale 2012 – Up to 70% off

Calvin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:13:58 +0000

Ready for summer? Not yet? Good because Aloha Boardsports will be having a clearance sale starting tomorrow Jan. 13 until Feb 5, 2012. Get up to 70% off on skate and surf apparels from popular brands carried by Aloha Boardsports.

Unlike the previous Aloha sale where you had to go to a far-away and stuffy warehouse, this Clearance Sale will happen on all Aloha branches, Billabong in Rockwell and Five-0 Skate Shop.

Even though it’s almost a month-long sale, I suggest going as early as you can. Even though it may be more crowded, at least you will still find clothes in your size.

Only the brands on the poster are included on the sale and it looks like adidas and Volcom is not included this time around.

Get a free David’s Salon pampering treat from BPI

Calvin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:49:11 +0000

If you’re a BPI or BPI Family account holder and you still are not taking advantage of BPI’s excellent online banking site, then you’re in for a treat with BPI’s Pay Easy Be Gorgeous Promo.

Here’s what’s going to happen. Already have a BPI account? Good. Head over to http://www.bpiexpressonline.com to enroll your account. You can activate your enrollment through your BPI bank of any BPI Express Teller ATMs (Special Services > Activate Enrollments > Express Online).

Once you’ve successfully enrolled, add any of your bills to your account. Whether it’s Meralco, PLDT, Globe, Smart… it’s easy to enroll. When you pay for your first bill, you will receive a “Claim Coupon Notification” on your e-mail. It will contain a redemption code which you will use at Localroam.ph (yes, you need to register here as well) to claim your free David’s Salon coupon.

The coupon is for a haircut, manicure and pedicure treatment from David’s Salon and may be used until May 30, 2012. You can also transfer the coupons to your loved ones if you’re not a fan of such pampering. Here’s a tip, always look for a senior stylist to make the most out of it. I don’t think you can ask for Mr. David Charlton though. Hehehe.

(L-R) Carlo Gatuslao, Assistant Vice President, BPI; Anj Mirasol, Senior Manager, BPI; David Charlton, President and CEO, David’s Salon; and Patrick Zulueta, Marketing Manager, BPI.

If you’re already an existing BPI Express Online user, like me, well we’ll just have to wait for BPI to come up with another promo. I have the details but I want to try it out first.

I don’t know about you but I really find BPI Express Online to be super useful. Aside from paying bills, we use it to transfer funds between our salary accounts, savings accounts, personal accounts and checking accounts (yeah I guess we have lots of BPI accounts) so managing our budget becomes easier. Oh and they also added investment banking at their Express Online site.

So who doesn’t want to win a P20k shopping spree? Here’s a simple contest by Lenovo if you don’t mind posting a photo on their Facebook contest page and ask your friends to vote for it.

To bring awareness to the Lenovo IdeaPad U-Series notebooks, Lenovo is having a Fashion Photo Contest over their Facebook page with a gift certificate worth P20,000 as prize. I hope it’s one of those popular gift checks like Sodexho. I don’t know how much outfit you can buy at Forever 21 with that moolah. Anyway, what have you got to do to win? Aside from liking their page and filling up your info, you must:

Upload your best fashion forward look in the page (jpeg, gif & png file formats only and not exceeding 200KB) and answer this question in 2-3 sentences only “How does Lenovo IdeaPad U-series fit your fashion personality?” (more than 3 sentences will make your entry invalid)

Criteria for judging is:

Overall ensemble – 50%
Answer to the question – 30%
Number of likes – 20%

Contest ends on December 31 so if you really want that 20k, better get to it. Not a lot of people are joining and some of did not follow the instructions so more chances for you.
