On these rewards cards.

This article was published was released on the Spot.PH website.

I already have some of the cards in the list:

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Swirl Card;
Fully Booked Discount Card;
GetGo;
Laking National Card;
Starbucks Card;
SM Advantage Card;
Happy Plus Card

Here are my/the reasons why I have the cards.

1) & 6) I do buy drinks from CBTL and Starbucks.
2) & 4) I by buy books from Fully Booked and National Book Store. I also buy non-book items from the latter. I haven't buy non-book items from the former.
3) I had my GetGo card last Friday when there's a Taiwan travel fair in SM Megamall's Event Center near Food Court. Please read my (previous) post on the travel fair.
5) I do eat and buy items at Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich, Mang Inasal, and Red Ribbon.

I don't have the following cards:

Petron Value Card;
Robinsons Rewards Card;
Suki Card;
Indulge Dining Club Card

Here are my/the reasons why I don't have the latter cards.

1) I don't have Petron Value Card, because I don't have a car. At hindi pa naman ako marunong magmaneho ng kotse.
2) I don't have Robinsons Rewards Card, because I rarely shop at the Robinsons partner establishments: Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket, and Toys R Us
3) I don't have Suki Card because I rarely buy items at Mercury Drug.
4) I don't have Indulge Dining Club Card, because isang beses pa lang ako nakakapunta sa Resorts World Manila.

Notes:
I don't know why Burger King is not included on Happy Plus Card.
Due to my office is near Robinsons Galleria, and there are times that I was asked to buy items at Robinsons Supermarket, and the nearest Toy R Us branch is in Trinoma, I may consider having a Robinsons Rewards Card.

On sleeping and waking up.

Since I was in Tacloban of this year, hindi ko alam kung bakit nagigising ako ng maaga. Dati naman, mga past 8 AM ako nagigising.

Today, before 7 AM ako nagising. I remember last September 11, I went to Tagaytay. I arrived in my house around almost 1:30 AM of September 12. Pero, few minutes after 7 AM ako nagising.

Cebu Pacific's GetGo card, and Taiwan travel fair.

Taiwan travel fair on Sept 23-25

I already seen the Taiwan travel fair this year in SM Megamall's Event Center. The event is near Food Court in Building A. It started yesterday, and ends tomorrow. So I decided to drop by in the area.

It promotes Taiwan's tourism. I noticed there are booths of Cebu Pacific and Eva Air. Eva Air is a Taiwanese international airline.

Here are the flyers/booklets I have from the event.

I see ads of Cebu Pacific (Air)'s GetGO card on Facebook. I also see ads on the back of local buses. I did some research that it was launched earlier parts of 2015.

The female staff told me that to earn points with the following partners:

Airline(s): Cebu Pacific
Banks: Citbank, Unionbank, BDO, BPI RCBC/RCBCBankard, Security Bank, Metrobank/Metrobank Card, and AUB.
Retail: Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Selections, and Robinsons Easymart.
Gas: Petron
Travel: Kaligo.com, Summit Hotel and Resorts, and Travelbook.ph
Services: Dragonpay, Zap and Ringbob.

Here is the card that I got yesterday afternoon from the event.

If I already have a GetGo card, I may already use the card yesterday when I was told to go to the Robinsons Supermarket in Robinsons Galleria.

Here are the website and social media accounts of the GetGo card:

This recent article on Puerto Princesa.

Puerto Princesa feels pinch as tourists prefer El Nido, Coron

I admit that I haven't visited the tourist destinations in the Palawan region. Sayang naman ang Puerto Princesa kung ganun lang.

Sana, magawa ng paraan para gawan ng paraan. Sana, mapansin ito ng Duterte administration.

And Edward Hagedorn did a fantastic job when he's still the mayor of Puerto Princesa.

These news videos on losing weight

While browsing my Facebook feed on my iPod touch, I saw a news about on wether a person go for a 30 minute workout or for an hour. So I decided to check it on the app version of Newsy. I also checked it on the Newsy Science YouTube page.





This morning, I was browsing on my smartphone regarding that gyms offering HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) on the browser of my iPod Touch, and on YouTube. Until I found this video on the Facebook fan page of HIIT Philippines. While watching this video, in my mind, Bakit ko lang nalaman itong segment na ito?.



Aside from that, there are similar videos of the video above.














And also, I found these three (3) videos.

Manila International Book Fair

Sister-Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration, in Tagaytay.

Last Sunday, my mother, my sister-in-law, my older brother, my two nephews & I went to Sister-Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration (SSpSAP). The sisters are called Pink Sisters because their founder, St. Arnold Janssen, "chose the color pink for our habit because it is the symbol of the love and joy of the Holy Spirit.

I don't know on how big the area is. I accidentally deleted my photos of the area.

The chapel don't allow cellphones and other similar gadgets. And also, the chapel do not allow standing inside the chapel, well except near the main door.

The chapel also have a section wherein you can write your prayers in a piece of paper with small envelope. People can give or include donations with their prayers. You will a drop box near the small are of small papers and envelopes. Ballpens* are limited, so I suggest to bring your own ballpens. I suggest you write as clearly as possible. I'm not sure if pencil is allowed.

For more information, visit the website here.

Wireless update on my Infinix Pure.

Yesterday, I update my Cherry Mobile Infinix Pure. It is currently on Android Kitkat.

There are new three (3) apps which include Cherry Play, Dr. Booster and Opera Mini.

And also, the lock screen is/has changed.

Some Pokémon GO characters.

In love, some people say "Nagmahal. Nasaktan. Iniwan." In an online website, there's a a topic called " Nagmahal. Nasktan. Nagsulat."

In my experience with Pokémon GO, I'm writing a similar situation.

I'd seendzoned Bellsprout and Pidgeotto. Because the time I'd seen them, I ran out of Poké Balls. When I caught Pidgey, I evolved it. So I got Pidgeotto.

And also, three Pokémons that "left me." Which I call "Nagpakita. Nakita. Nahuli. Nakawala. Nang-iwan." And these 3 are Pidgey, Krabby, and Squirtle.

I try to evolve Zubat, but due to lack of candies, I can't evolve Zubat. I'd "seenzoned" Bellsprout and Golbat. I "seenzoned" Golbat because the Pokémon is hard to catch.

Affiliate programs.

There are a lot of websites and companies that offer affiliate programs. But I don't know which that I'm going to choose.

Here is list of the ones who offer affiliate programs.

Lazada Philippines / Lazada Philippines

Zalora Philippines

TravelBook.PH

TripAdvisor

Lonely Planet

iTunes by Apple (PH)

TravelBook.PH is the first websites/companies that I learned that offer affiliate program.

Then, followed by Lazada, then Zalora, TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, and iTunes by Apple (PH). I didn't include Microsoft's affiliate program. Because it looks complicated.

I just don't know if there will be any problem if I join all of the affiliate program.

If some has success story/ies, please share them.

In the gyms, like to do yoga, workout videos, and workout apps.

Around January of this year, one of my bosses told my female co-workers, that there will be a contest on losing weight for a few months. They will using the building's gym.

I'm tempted to join but I have two reasons not to join.

1) One reason is that, kapag kung minsan nagpautos sila sa akin, kung minsan inaabot ako ng few minutes before 12 PM. Minsan, after few minutes after 12 PM. Tulad na lang nung Biyernes. Inabot ako ng few minutes after 12 PM bago nakabalik ng office, dahil nag-offline yung isang bangkong pinupuntahan ko.

2) Siguradong may mang-a-asar sa akin ng mga co-workers sa akin sa office.

-------

I'd like to workout in a gym that promotes 30 minutes of workout. That gym is just across the building in the office where I work. And it is located in Strata 100.

I'd like to do yoga. The yoga establishment is located in The Podium.

Ang problema ko lang ay wala akong pera.

-------

There are workout videos on YouTube, and on Instagram. Kaya lang, hindi ko alam kung ano yung uunahin ko na workout videos.

Same thing with the workout apps that I download on my Android phone, hindi ko alam kung ano yung uunahin ko na workout videos.

2016 Manila International Book Fair

Last year, so I'm not able to attend the book fair, because I thought that my mother and I are going to Tacloban to attend the debut party of my niece.

This year, I try to attend the book fair on the last two (2) days of the aforementioned book fair. I'm just not sure how many book that I'm going to buy, because it's 14 days before my schedule to attend the event. The book fair is going to be held on September 14 to 18 of this year on SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia.

If I don't have cough and colds last month, I probably have 8400 pesos to buy the books that I want to buy. I currently reading Ever Day by David Levithan. I do not know what books I'm going to buy.

The coffee card of this coffee shop.

Nalaman ko na yung Figaro Coffee Club Card kahapon ng umaga, habang nagba-browsing ako ng aking Facebook Feed habang kumakain ako ng agahan sa Wendy's SM The Block.

Tinanong ko kung ang mga tao na nais na mapakinabangan ang mga card, ngunit sila ay hindi na magagamit sa araw na yaon, o ang mga ito abala sa araw na iyon. (Ang taong sumagot sa aking tanong ay maaaring hindi maunawaan ang aking tanong./Hindi yata/siguro nila na-gets yung tanong ko.)

Hindi ko alam na Figaro Coffee Company ay nag-aalok (na) mga nabanggit na card. Wala akong sapat na kaalaman sa card na ito. Hindi ako sigurado kung ito card ay katulad sa iba pang mga card na inaalok ng iba pang mga tindahan ng kape tulad ng Starbucks, Coffee Bean & amp; Tea Leaf, at iba pa.

Para sa karagdagang impormasyon, mangyaring bisitahin ang pahina ng Facebook fan page ng Figaro.
