Air 21’s Personalized Service

I am starting to like Air 21’s shipping service. They’re quite efficient and deliver on time. Recently, I’ve been receiving some packages from friends shipped via Air 21. I guess it’s the way they do their service that satisfies me as a client.

.

First, I get an SMS notifying me of my package’s arrival. A tracking number is provided. There is also a date indicated in the text as well as a customer service hotline to call for any concerns I might have. Another text arrives reminding me about my package and requesting my presence or that of my authorized representative to receive it. After I have received the package, I get another SMS reporting that my package has arrived and the name of the person who actually received it.

My New Longchamp Bag

I finally claimed my Longchamp Le Pliage bag, which I ordered from Magnums.net thru their semi-annual Longchamp sale (I got a 20% discount!), from Johnny Air-Makati yesterday. The price of the bag was $118 (approx. P5,000) and I paid P842 for shipping. The shipping fee from Magnums.net to Johnny Air’s New York office was free, thanks to the shopping site’s ongoing promo. I think I got a good deal since if I’d buy here in Manila, the price could go as high as P8,000.

.

This navy blue, Longchamp bag has been my dream bag for years now. I saved up for it and now I have it in possession. The limited edition Longchamp Arbre de Vie, which was my first choice at Magnums.net, turned out to be out of stock and so I settled back to my original choice. Still, I’m so happy! It was a dream come true, after all.

Thank God It’s L!

It’s Friday once again and I so look forward to the coming weekend. So, what’s with the title? I must say it’s a big surprise. L stands for something that has arrived recently and will be in my possession come Sunday. I’m very excited about it!

My week has been good and balance, so far. I’m thankful I got to accomplish quite a lot, both in my day job and in my part-time job. I also got to witness some positive developments in my friends’ lives and I can only be happy for them. Like when I learned about a friend who is expecting her first baby, a friend who’s recently bought a brand new car and another friend who’s leaving abroad to seek for a greener pasture. Blessings in any form are always appreciated and welcomed with a grateful heart.

My IPL Laser Underarm Hair Removal Experience at La Estetica (Second Session)

One month after my first IPL laser underarm hair removal at White Beauty Face and Body Center, I went to La Estetica for my second session on this treatment. I called up their clinic prior to my visit but I was informed that I could just come as a walk-in client. I still have three sessions left with them and I can’t wait to complete the five-session treatment I set for myself.

For my second session, I visited La Estetica’s Tomas Morato branch. After communicating with the receptionist as to the purpose of my visit, I filled up a patient form and was eventually ushered to the treatment room. I was amazed by how fast their service was there.

Common Mobile Phone Problems

I’m not really a phone person. In my 26 years of existence on earth, I think I have only replaced my mobile phone four times. The first time I owned a phone was during my college years. It was a Nokia 3310. I have been loyal to Nokia since then. If I remember it right, I also became quite friendly with Sony Ericsson. But in my book, Nokia remains the best and the most functional.

My current phone, a Nokia E63, is aging already. Three years is old, isn’t it? It would suddenly hang and shut off for no apparent reason. The battery life is getting shorter and shorter as days go by. The phone has become slow, too. Common sense tells me that it’s served its purpose and is ready to rest anytime. And for good. I know a replacement has to be determined as early as now. How about an iPhone? A blackberry? An htc bell? A samsung galaxy tab? The fiancee is even brainwashing me to go for an iPhone 5! Haha. It’s too expensive for me, though, so that will never be an option.

New San Miguel Beer Flavors: Apple and Lemon

During dinner one chilly night, the fiancee introduced me to the two new flavors of San Miguel Beer: lemon and apple. I am guessing these are their match to GSM’s Antonov Apple Vodka and Asia Brewery’s Tanduay Ice Alcomix (a new favorite of mine!) that are fairly new in the market.

Between the two, I like the San Miguel Beer Lemon Flavor more. It’s super light and easy to drink. The lemon flavor is just right, too. I like that it doesn’t overpower the distinctive malt flavor of the beer. With just 3% alcohol, this one won’t give anyone a hangover.
