7-eleven like no other
Its been a while since my last post here. So here's a new entry!!
With the heavy traffic that I encounter every time I go home is the reason why I stay in 7-eleven. The 7-eleven in Blumentritt to be specific. I like it better than the branch in Dimasalang. Because, it does not have a very welcoming feeling once you enter. So the real thing starts here
I posted my reward card from 7-eleven here and because of that every time I purchase and show the card they would immediately know that I'm one of their regular customer. How do you get a reward card? The first time that they release it, I think they are offering it to customers who frequently buy for free. But now, i think it costs 10. I enjoyed using it because I earn points every time I buy something. Just like the other reward cards. Last time I checked I already earned 80pts. But I can no longer check it, because I just lost my card. It saddens me, because now every time I buy something from them, there would be no greeting like "Thank you for buying Ma'am Jhecelle!" Yeah, I know, its shallow but, the fact that they know your name even if you are just buying a milk or a bread. It makes us feel special somehow. So now, I am still searching for my card. I hope its still in my other bag (cross fingers).
You will realize that I have a thing for coupons. Well I have them so use it while it’s still useful.
Langhap Sarap Meals
I really love to it that my next entry would be about my food escapade. This branch is in Dapitan. I really want to eat I guess that’s why I’m including this. I really love burgers. And I really don’t know why but maybe because its easy to eat and to order. There are a lot of variety that I can choose from. So every time I went to Jollibee I would order burger. And sometimes there are friends of mine who would treat me just for me to stay longer. It’s not that I don’t want to stay and chat with them. It’s just that this is one of the rare days that I went home earlier than my usual time (like I will arrive at around 3pm because due to org duties there are times when I arrive at home around 8pm or sometimes even 9pm). It’s really hard to resist especially if its sundae. You see I really like eating! Yes, back with the burger, the time of the day that I really enjoys eating there would be around 3 or maybe 4 in the afternoon. Because there aren’t too many customer meaning there would be more vacant seats available. And we could somehow eat with just a minimal noise. Because who would want to eat in a very noisy environment right? Of course no one would want unless you like to drown yourself with the noise so to forget all the stress and even the stressor for awhile.
Unli Rice (Hunger Games)
The title there should be taken literally and figuratively. We always go to mall every weekend to do grocery. And its always in the afternoon because every morning of Saturday our “labandera” will come and leave until early afternoon. While every morning of Sundays aside from church, my mother would go the market to buy some meat, fish and vegetables. We seldom do our grocery early in the morning. Since we shop late in the afternoon there are times wherein we would eat dinner in the mall. So when the shopping is done of course the shoppers (us) would be exhausted and wants to eat. Since it’s a weekend its expected that there would be a lot of people who would also be eating outside. So after putting all our groceries in the car, we proceed in finding a place to eat. They wanted to eat with unli rice. The only restaurant that offers unli rice is non other than MANG INASAL.
Who would not want to eat in an unli rice restaurant especially when you are hungry. So we went to the second floor then to Mang Inasal. When I’m hungry, my patience is cut very fast and becomes very limited. We want to eat right away (I mean we would be able to sit and order our meal) so I was glad that there are a lot of vacant seats. But I don’t know as expected they always seem to have a reservation of 5-10 tables every time we go there. We are 5 and the only available chairs were good for 4 so we need to wait for some group to be finished. And I’m already shooting daggers to all of them because of they are not really accommodating us. And the worst part is that they did not even clean the table we were supposed to use. They only went to our table when I stood up and leave and telling my parents “Wag na tayo dito kumain kasi naiinis na ako”. Good thing my father went to comfort room and did not witness what happen because if he were there, he would have make a scene there. So in the end we eat at Goldilocks and ordered their unli rice meal. So much for us craving some unli rice meal.
I don’t know if I’m just being sarcastic or what but I keep this coupons as remembrance of our “visit” in Mang Inasal.
Jeep or FX? Which is better?
vs
Ever since first year I always ride FX going to Blumentritt. The only time I choose to ride jeep is when I know that I would be late and if I waited for the FX to be full then I’m so dead. From 1st year to 2nd year I have always been on the afternoon class so I can really manage my time well. But since I became part of the morning class then I need to do some very big adjustments. From the beginning of the school year I have always chose jeep. But there are times of course wherein traffic arises and the jeep would be so scarce that sometimes I would go to the terminal of Deparo—Blumentritt Station . But even though its traffic, I still need to do some waiting.
So what are the pros and cons of jeep over the other? With the jeep the waiting time would be less or their could actually be none( Because they could leave if they see that some of the passenger are transferring from the other jeep who as they say “aalis na”). With the FX there would be waiting time, because you need to fill in all the seats or if you are so generous you could pay for seats (which I did before especially if we are only waiting for one passenger or if I know that the longer we stay the greater chance of me being late in class would happen) for the FX to finally leave. With the cost, of course jeep would always be cheaper especially they have student fair (from here to blumentritt I pay Php17 for weekday and Php21 for weekend). Unlike with the FX, it would all be the same student or not, weekday or weekend (its Php40 which is too much if you were only given Php200 on a daily basis or Php1200 for the whole week).
With the length of travel, the jeep it really varies on the driver. Because as they say when its an old driver they would be too slow or they are taking their time. If it’s a young driver they would be fast and drive as if they are being chased by the police. They also have the “hataw jeep” they are the ones you need to ride if you were in a hurry because if in my case it takes 1—2 hours but with them it could take 30-45 minutes. Now with the FX, they need to find alternate routes especially if its traffic (they could enter subdivision or take NLEX as an alternate route). Then with the comfort, with the jeep it would really depend whether you were the first one to sit (because obviously you can choose where you want to sit) or the last (which is somewhat unfortunate especially if you have selfish “seatmates” then you would be having an agonizing ride). With the FX, of course the comfort their would be the sits would be good and not only that there is aircon (When its too hot your would not look like you just run in a marathon especially during rainy season).
So which of the two is better? For me, it would really be depending on the situation. If you would be rushing and you know that you have the money for it then you could go to the terminal of FX. But if are short with money you could chose a “hataw jeep”. If you are considering your time then jeep or FX. It will also depend on the time. To sum it all up, the question which is better would really be depending on the situation.

This is my reward card!! :)
Every DAY Rewards At 7Eleven
I’m always fond of eating guess you could see that with me physically. But who would not when you only have 30 minutes break for the whole 6 hours right? Anyways so before I went home, I always went to 7eleven store that is near where I usually ride the jeep going home. Even though I ate lunch, I will still get hungry on my way home (because it is 1 to 2 hours drive). And so I always go there and then one time, they offered me a loyalty card and I’m just shocked! Because I never thought they would be having a loyalty card but of course who am I to decline the offer. But I didn’t get the chance to activate it immediately because I have no regular load. So when I have the chance I activated it. Well at least now that I had activated it they would not be asking me if I already have their loyalty card. They even had commercial for it which is cute by the way. And I think I always used it in a particular branch. That is specifically the 7eleven Blumentritt Branch. I don’t know maybe because they seem more accommodating unlike the branch in Dimasalang. They are so different. Even the layout of the two branch is so different. I think the renovation that they did to the Blumentritt Branch because it has more space that makes it easier to walk around. Unlike the Dimasalang Branch, they haven’t done any renovation so far. But if they really wanted for the both of it toi profitable or even pleasing in the eyes they should have done something with the physical layout. Because sometimes the physical layout will really have a say on the business it self.
With the reward card or loyalty card, I think not everybody is appreciating it. Or maybe it’s just me, because every time I pay and take out my card they are somehow surprised that I have one. I don’t but since I have it, why not use it right. We always take things like that lightly. Of course they would not be releasing something like that without any reasons. I think they want to know who are the loyal customers of the 7eleven, what did they usually buy, or even the frequency of their purchase. With this they can customize the offer they would give to every customer they encounter because of the data that they have. Because the reward card, as I have mentioned before should be activated which could either be thru text (which I did) or thru their website (If had known that they had a website, I would have chosen that option instead. I should have used this card earlier). Their website is user friendly by the way meaning its very easy to navigate. Last time I checked, I only have 20 points in my card :( so sad. I guess I should buy the items that would reward me bigger points. But of course we’ll see.
Happily Ever After??
Its been so long since I attended a wedding so I am so excited even though I turn down the offer of being part of the entourage. The reason behind that is just for me to know. Because it’s a wedding we need by clothes to wear something that is suitable for the occasion. But before anything else, since it’s a wedding you thought that you should wear a dress, since I just really want to be comfortable during the wedding I chose to wear my jeans and a white shirt. For others it may seem “informal” but when you know how to carry yourself then any clothes that you wear will work. So enough with all those other details, Let’s start with the church. I don’t know how my cousin chose the church but never the less its good. But of course, for us the church is “easy” to go because we have a car but how about those who don’t? The can ride in a tricycle but that would be too costly considering you wouldn’t even use it for the reception. Or they could just rent a car or whatever vehicle that way they could use it going to the reception as well. So on with the of the wedding itself. While all of them are stressing themselves, my sister however is stressing me because she asked me to assist her as the wedding coordinator. The good thing about that is, I am trained (because I became a Junior Executive) to how will I work myself during events. See all the time that I had given to USTJMA will be very helpful to me.
I thought once you have picked the church everything else follows but obviously with them I think it’s the otherwise because when we arrive in the church, the outside is just so bare or rather just so plain. No decorations or whatever on the outside. Inside the church is okay. The flowers and the other stuff are okay as well. That thing that I had noticed is that everyone is asking where to go, where to put this and that or where are the bride’s maid? It’s like they don’t even know their port in the wedding!
Which is impossible because all the people who will be participating in the wedding were given invitations. But of course even with the invitation, there are some glitches. Because not everybody received the invitation. So some feels like they were disregarded or they were really not part of the wedding ceremony. But of course the wedding will push through. Before the wedding is done, there will be photo opt with the newly weds, since my sister is one of the wedding coordinator they listed the flow of the photo opt. Then there’s the best man who suddenly approach and told me that my sister doesn't know her job! My goodness I just need to control myself and remember that we are in the church. Because if not, I would have removed my wedge and hit him in the head! He doesn’t know that the wedding coordinator is my sister!! Oh well enough with that and let’s proceed with the wedding reception.
When I thought that everything else would be easy, I guess I’m wrong. Because the reception is the worst of all. The whole venue is not even pleasing to the eyes.. Why did they choose that? I guess the picture in their website were really deceiving. And of course all the guests were hungry, because of that some of the things that should be performed were not followed. What king of guests were they! Seriously! But I guess I’m just hungry and I really need to eat. With that I should appreciate the food but guess what, I don’t. Imagine that even the water is buffet style! And the buffet itself is far from the other guest. They were placed in the wrong side of the venue. Oh well guess I already know what to do and not to do in my own wedding. I’ll keep all those in mind and avoid the California Garden Resort as the venue of the reception of my wedding.

So there's this boy who is an important part of my life. He never leave my side. The best and worst part of it, he was always there. And I'm very thankful because, it is a reminder for me that no matter what happens he will always be there. Thank you Lord kasi lagi kang nandyan :)
The BLUE QUEST
Date: Dec 14, 2013
I was not able to finish our christmas party but it was still great. I really had a great time with this family. I was able to sing wrecking ball although it was just a single line. Hahaha! I really don't know the lyrics of wrecking ball...I think I should have chosen another song.
The surprise to our beloved Ate's and Kuya's was cute especially the blue rose. It's so cute (I'm so biased because my favorite color is blue!!)
I never really thought that this year would be so great. So many things had happened to me and I'm glad that I joined this organization. It was really worth it...all the time I had spent with them will always we treasured no matter how many years have come.

If you think you can do it, then go for it

Letters, Letters and Letters
Date: Dec 9, 2013
I never realized that printing retreat letters would be so time consuming. I didn’t notice that the first file reached 31 pages. I even need to change the size of the bond paper to maximize all the bond papers that we have. Anyways, my hands hurt form all those cutting and trimming of the bond paper. So many work to do and I’m not even done with it. I need ink!! Our printer is such a problem sometimes. I don’t even know why we bought that printer. But anyways that is not really the point of this entry. Since I already have my tumblr account, I decided to create a new account for this.I just really want to make another account :)
First batch of retreat letters. I still need to print the second batch. I hope our ink will last *fingers crossed*
