Today is the first day of our week long family vacation at Bohol. The airport was nice, although we had to walk on the ground due to some problems and had to climb up a mobile staircase which usually only happens in provincial airports. Once we got there, the hotel that we booked – Dao Diamond Hotel was prompt and picked us up on time. Even the manager came along to welcome us which was really nice and says a lot about their hospitality. At first I was having some doubts about the place but when I saw it, I found it to be much better looking than the online pictures. It would have looked better if it had more rustic furniture, but all in all it was a sight to behold. We were supposed to go to the beach on our first day, but since it rained, we decided to stay in the hotel and just take a swim at their swimming pool.
Time flies. It’s now 2012, and before I leave behind 2011, let me recap some of the important lessons that I learned. First thing that came to my mind are the hassles and problems that we encountered when we were buying a laptop. Its very easy to be blinded by cheap laptops, but if you have not done your homework like what happened to us, you’ll get into the painful process of early replacement or delayed refund. Here are some tips that you should consider before buying:
- Know your budget and know the models that are within it
- Research on the specs and good point of the models you are planning to buy
- Research on all the complaints and problems that current users of the models are encountering
- If you see too many complaints, better move on to other models
- Research on complaints about the store that you are planning to buy at as well
It has been a very busy Christmas for me and my family. We had to go to so many relatives, attend church activities, prepare gifts, food and so many other little things. My son was expecting toys, while I was expecting something useful like a CozyWinters.com electric mattress pad, or maybe a new guitar gig bag. We all have so many things in mind.
Thankfully, even after so many years, I can still clearly recall how we sang this song way back when I was in Kinder. And just like the memory, its message is still as clear as when I sang it back then. The lyrics was intentionally repetitive to remind me what Christmas is for. Christmas is a time to love!
