online freebies

I had a chance to get great discounts and freebies from the online shopping mall Hallohallomall last year. I was able to collect various kitchen tools like the can opener, pizza cutter, ice ceam scooper, strainer and cake cutter. Most of them I got for free from the points I accumulated by visiting the site daily.Some of them were on deep discounts and I had to just pay a very minimal amount -about P20-P50 pesos only.

Lifestyle kitchen tools 

Natural soaps

If you want to sample some beauty products this is a great site too.They offer soaps, creams and cosmetics on sale. I got some really good soaps and creams that are all-natural.

They still give away 3 points;equivalent to P 3- for your daily visit and P100 pesos if you visit the site 20 times in a month.You can in turn buy products with your points.Enjoy!

Savings on Vouchers

There are many online deal websites nowadays and I have ordered a couple of vouchers already.It proved to be very convenient as well as economical.All you need is to choose the product that fits your budget then make the payment- which is also very convenient as there are many payment options available.Take note of the validity period,reservation requirements and do not forget to print the voucher.Always read the Fine Print.My first two purchases was a success.The last one was good too.Apparently I overlooked the validity period and did not notice that it will start on January 20th.We went to the restaurant on my father's birthday and that is about a week earlier.However, the crew was very attentive and accommodating and considered my reservation that I made through Facebook just the day before : )

It is a very good way to get good deals on restaurants especially for a big group because you can save more!

Hope of Heaven Chronicles

Hope of Heaven is a Bible study series for urgent cases...we visited a distant relative of a disciple in this small neighborhood island in Catanauan, Quezon.It is surrounded by the sea on the North and by lake on the South.We went on the south side.It takes two and a half hour travel by van : ) you need to request for a stop over if you need to pee.They usually stop at a gasoline station 30 mins from Lucena which is Shell if your coming back from Catanuan ,and 30 minutes before Catanauan,if your coming from Lucena,which is a small gas station that I can't remember.So you can pee 30 mins before the destination ,not in the middle of the travel,otherwise you'll have to knock on houses or pee in the middle of nowhere if you cannot hold it in : )

View from the bridge - a small neighborhood with about 200 families.You need to ride a boat from Brgy 1 to get to the other side.

Welcome food- sweet deserts of fruit salad,macaroni salad,jelly, Leche Flan and soda
