I feel excited that things are moving on slowly but surely. Just last week, I posted some updates on our wedding preps which included booking Manila Pavilion (formerly Hilton Hotel...now being managed by Waterfront) for our wedding day preparation. I booked MP, I was offered with a membership card. I have been hearing membership cards from w@w brides but I wasn't just paying attention to it before. Me, being on a tipid mode, I curiously asked for the inclusions of being a member. The card is worth P5,800. In return you will get the following.
1. One (1) Complimentary overnight stay in a Deluxe Room (rate is P4,500) with free buffet breakfast for two at Season's Restaurant.
2. 3 vouchers of discounted rate of Deluxe Room (P3,500 na lang! again with free b/fast for 2)
3. Complimentary 3rd night accommodation when staying for two consecutive nights.
4. Complimentary Pool Pass for 12pax
5. Casino Bonus Bet coupon worth P300 (meron kasing Casino Filipino dito)
6. 50% off rack (published rate) on room accommodation at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and casino, Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino Mactan and lastly, Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao.
 With those inclusions, here is our masterplan. Book Ambassador Suite (P6500++/Dec. 22) and 2 nights for Deluxe Room (Dec 21-22). We will then take advantage of the free 3rd night accommodation on Dec. 23. Dahil sayang naman ung discounted rate of Deluxe room, Russell will have his stag party in MP as well using this voucher. Tax is already included in the prices that were quoted. Papatalo ba naman ako! Shemps, sa MP din ang bridal shower ko. My cool gay friends are now thinking of a theme for my bridal shower. One suggested a lingerie party. LOL Oh well, I am really not sure how my bridal shower is going to be. One thing is for sure though, it's gonna be rated PG. WaaAaAaaaaahHhH!!!!! On the other hand, Russell just booked our honeymoon flight to Boracay. Dang, I really wanted to go to Palawan but since Russell is insisting of going to Bora, I just gave in. Our departure from Manila Domestic Airport will be on Dec. 26. Mejo inis lang kasi nagkamali si Russell ng date pabalik. Instead of booking it on December 30, he accidentally clicked the 31st without realizing it before checking out! Pero keri lang, leaving Bora late will also means more time for us. We're gonna spend kasi New Year's eve with Russell's family. Anyway, our two tickets cost us P7,900. Now, we just have to reserve our hotel accommodation.
 Tomorrow, I'll be going to Cavite to pay Russell's folks in Cavite. Mama Luvie will be leaving for New York this 14th to attend a summit for Caltex franchise owners. Actually, she won the contest run by Caltex management (highest diesel sales yata?) and her prize is an all-expense paid trip to NY. Shemps, may kasamang business agenda pa rin ang trip. Before heading to NY, Mama Luvie will fly first to LA to visit Russell and then after two days, she will leave for NY na .
October 15 is fast approaching. Tatlong payday na lang! WoOohooOo! And it is also exactly 106 days before our wedding. With that, I'm gonna start doing all the beauty regimens. Dang, I really feel stressed nowadays and I can see a couple of zits on my back! ErrRrRrr!!! I need to take a lot of Vitamin C and E and avoid coffee and softdrinks na. Todo na ito talaga!
That's all folks! See yah later, 'lligator!Labels: hotels, wedding preps |

| Beth goes Down Under |
| Tuesday, August 07, 2007 |
Beth has already tendered her resignation as our account coordinator. Her brother Mario, will assume her position but as of the meantime, Cliff (former QAS) will take over our campaign. Beth is so lucky as she gets the chance to work in Australia. From our last conversation, it was her Aunt who convinced her to try applying for a job there. It took her a while before she was asked to go on interview in the Australian Embassy but it was all worth it. She now has a visa. It's not clear to me how her visa is going to be valid but according to her, she can apply for a permanent visa (or residency) after 3 straight years of working. It was quite stiff but then, she grabbed the opportunity. She's gonna be assigned to New South Wales. It's gonna be a clerical (?) work, but I from what I understand, it's gonna be something to do with the degree that she finished (she's an economics graduate from AdMU). She is not sure though when she can visit her cousins as her aunt is based in Perth. She would probably go there when she has the money. Though she's gonna be staying with her Aunt's house when she go there, she would want to visit Swanbourne Beach (Did I spell it correctly?). It's actually a famous nudist beach in Australia. She has tried looking online for cheap hotels. Being the internet-researcher freak that I am, I told her to look on some websites. I forwarded some of the websites I have already browsed and see if she can find rates for Perth Hotels. It was a relief for her when she finally found some reasonable hotel rates through RatesToGo.
It was a huge relief for her when she came across this website as this will not only help her book cheap hotels in Perth but anywhere in Australia.
Oh well, our people will certainly miss you Beth. But we are happy for you. May the force be with you! LOL Bon Voyage!Labels: benjamin talks, hotels, work |
