On Consumer Perks and Privileges

Consumers these days are so lucky. When you want to buy something, you just surf the net and look for the nearest store or supplier to your place. You could even read reviews online to know if you’re getting the best product or not.

I know of some businesses that treat their clients like king. They would give endless discounts and promos just to gain their loyalty. Some even launch contests and give away exciting prizes regularly to attract more consumers. Big companies engaged in high-end services employ quite the same marketing strategy. They give out business client gift to win the hearts of their target market.

New Sunday Routine

Our weekends in the past weeks were spent in our Bacoor home. It’s just the two of us, my hubby and I. We normally just relax on Saturdays and on Sundays, we go to church first thing in the morning. It’s a good thing that there’s a church near our place.

Holy Trinity Parish Church in San Nicolas, Bacoor, is pretty new. It’s not even fully-painted and furnished yet. But I like how it’s big and airy. The parish community is quite big, too, and is growing continuously. Outside the church is a wide complex dotted with shops, food stalls and public parking spaces. You’ll be amazed at how comprehensive the shops there are. I saw vegetable, fruit and meat shops as well as general merchandise stores. I even spotted a dog shop selling cute puppies, dog food and supplies including wooden dog houses similar to those wooden dog crates at DogKennels.com. Imagine that!

Kitchen Improvement Then, Front Extension Now

Today is gonna be another busy day at home. Our Naic home, to be exact. We’ve recently started constructing our front extension, with roof, paved floor, metal grills and all that. It’s costly as I expected, but hey, nothing’s cheap these days! As long as the work is good, I’m okay with paying higher than usual on labor fees.

I can still remember the time (I think it was early last year) when we had some kitchen improvement done. We had kitchen cabinets installed and painted in the color that inspired me back then (read: greek blue) and now our kitchen looks neater and better than ever.

Our First Summer Outing

Our first summer outing as a family for this year happened in the beautiful place called Tanza Oasis Hotel and Resort. As the name suggests, it’s located in Tanza, Cavite. The best thing about it, aside from the nice swimming pool and affordable day tour price, is the fact that it’s very near our Naic home. Yes, we only needed to hop into the car and after a few minutes, we were entering the resort premises already.

It was a Saturday and the scorching heat of the sun was unbearable (there was definitely no use to wear my fave cashmere scarf!) but because we wanted to frolick in the water and have a sort of bonding activity, we didn’t mind the hot temperature.

Drizzles

I love drizzle. I really do. But I hate it when drizzle falls on summer. Blame it on climate change (which would eventually put the blame on us because we’re accountable to nature!). It’s wet outside today because of the continuous drizzle. I feel sleepy.

Aside from feeling sleepy, I also feel the urge to eat whenever it’s raining outside. It’s a natural reaction, isn’t it? There’s something about the rainy weather that induces people to slow down and rest. And yes, eat! What’s for merienda, I ask. Haha.

I Lost My Favorite Purse

Some good things never last. So true. That was the exact thought running in my head after I lost my favorite purse at this hotel where my family and I had a good dinner buffet to celebrate my sister’s college graduation. I still can’t figure out how I lost my purse because as far as I remembered, I slid it back into my bag after using it.

Aside from some personal things, a few cash and a check (that I still have to request for a re-issue from the company that gave it to me!), it’s the purse itself that I really regret losing. Yeah, talk about sentimental value. It had been with me for just a few months but I love, love it’s nice color and print and the beautiful butterfly bead work on its back. Awww, I really miss it!
