Easy Way to Get a Taxi without Getting Robbed

-
by: Henrietta Conquistadores (Guest Writer)

Have you ever experienced loosing your things in the taxi?

Use Grab a Taxi instead, it's an APP that easily gets you a taxi
without the hassle, and will pick you right at your doorstep.

Here are points to avoid loosing things in the taxi:

1. When staying: locked the doors of the apartement you
are renting. Make sure all switches and stoves are unplugged.

If you are about to leave for your home country,
before leaving the furnished apartment you rented,
you need to double check or triple check the unit you
used!

2. Second, once you get in the taxi, get the identification
card of the driver. Never ride a taxi without the driver having
an identification card, or having an identification card
with a different face on the identification card!

3. Get the Taxi number and make the driver aware that his
taxi number has been sent to police hotline or to the place
where you just left.

4. Make sure before you pay the taxi to check every nook and cranny
of the taxi you used. Most times little things like usb and whatever
little important things left in the taxi are gathered in the trash and
thrown away, when the taxi is cleaned.

Not all taxi drivers uses high tech electronics, and it can happen a
lost usb left in the taxi driver seat is lost forever...because it was
thrown in the trash.

5. If you are bringing a lot of things, secure important papers, usb,
and wallets in a hand carried bag. Mark all your bags, boxes, and number
them...to avoid missing one when you go down.

Ask the help of your husband or wife, relatives or friends riding
with you to monitor all boxes when
you embark at the airport or ship to make sure all boxes and luggages are
intact.

Best to have all your boxes and luggages sealed to avoid
having others putting things which are not yours in your luggages.

Always be alert to keep safe in all places not only in the Philippines.
Traveling has its own challenges... but life goes on.

Lastly, do not blame anybody if you loose things, otherwise
without a word, people may consider you stupid for not being
alert and wise. Be an intelligent traveler whenever you are.

Happy Travelling!

Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face. You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and

by Charles Bolanos All Saints and All Souls Day is a special day in the Philippines. This is the day when we remember the Saints and our beloved departed relatives and friends. Officially we do not have classes on 1 November and 2 November because that is when we are busiest. The government of the  past years typically cancels work on the 30th of October till 3 November. The reason for this is because of the people going to their respective provinces or homes where we gather and celebrate as early as 31st of October. Some even went to a point of sleeping overnight from 31st of October till 2 November. 1 November is actually a feast day as we commemorate those who have lived saintly lives. 2 November is not, but we offer Holy Masses till 30th of November for the souls of our departed relatives and friends. We believe that we gain Plenary Indulgences for them so they have a short stay in Purgatory, since we know that not all of our friends and relatives are saints...Oth
