I am really blessed with having the ample amount of time to prepare my wedding. Though I got coordinators, I still make it a point that I will pay attention to every single wedding detail. I have to be in-charge here. Russell and I have been relying on the power of internet when booking our suppliers. We’re grabbing every opportunity of getting discounts on every supplier. I guess one of the perks of early wedding preparation is that you’re able to choose the suppliers that you want and haggle for price discount. I’ve done hotel ocular inspections way back April. I have done ocular visits to Astoria Plaza, Richmonde Hotel, Makati Shang ri-La, Bayview Park, Manila Pavilion, Manila Hotel, Sofitel (formerly Westin Philippine Plaza), and G Hotel (a new hotel in Roxas Blvd. managed by the Waterfront Cebu Hotel). I am really not after the name or grand staircase. All I want is a spacious and well-lit room to make me, our families, and suppliers comfortable working in two suites. That is why I booked Manila Pavilion. On the other note, one of my QAS “C”(who just got married last August 28), asked me about Hotel Reservations sometime in July. Paying it forward, I have listed all the hotels and condotels I have done ocular visits and I provided her some feedback as well. They are really in the crunch time because they only got a month to prepare and there are still lots of things to be done. Because I share my blog with few people of my team (and she is included in that circle) she asked me about the hotel discounts that I posted. I can hardly remember that post so I decided to dig the archive. Since we are way ahead from other teams when it comes to meeting our monthly target, I let them browse the internet – frienster, multiply, youtube.com (as long as no porn websites). That’s how lenient I am. Supervisors are not supposed to encourage their teams to browse the net but hey?!?! That is my way of appreciating their effort. Cut them some slack. Anyway going back to the topic, I was so happy that I was able to help her book her hotel through HotelReservations.com. 
She booked Richmonde Hotel and she was able to get a very huge discount. She was so thankful to me for introducing this website because booking hotels and honeymoon destinations have become pretty much easier for her. They won’t have their honeymoon yet because a beautiful baby boy is yet to be delivered this December. They will probably have their honeymoon sometime next year and they will surely book again through this website. They are eyeing for a cruise experience and according to her, she's getting a sweet deal from this website. It feels so right knowing that I was able to extend a hand to a friend in need.
