SMART... Simply Unbelievable

I've been a postpaid subscriber of Smart Communications for the past 4 years or so. Signal hasn't been a problem since it's one of the biggest Telco in the Philippines backed-up by its sister company - PLDT.

I am at Smart Wireless Center, Festival Mall Alabang just now to get my new phone for retention. They temporarily transferred to the 4th floor since their shop is under construction. So there is no aircon but just huge industrial fans cooling down the place. What a nightmare it has been to be waiting on cue for the last 2 hours or so and not yet being served as of this writing.

What's even worst is that the guards have not been so attentive that I've been cut on cue twice. They say that they have talked to someone already and just went back. But of course, that's beside the point right? They should have categorize the cueing system not just by payment, sales, or technical, but they should have added retention, returning clients and so.

It's fine to wait in line as long as it's moving and that you never get cut off. Maybe Smart should understand that their business is service oriented and that they should find ways to make customers happy whether via their signal or connection, loyalty rewards or simply via good customer service at their very own shop.

DRAGONFRUIT JUICE HEALTH DRINK

Dragonfruit Juice Concentrate

Dragonfruit or Pitaya is the fruit of several cactus species, most importantly of the genus Hylocereus (sweet pitayas). These fruits are commonly known as dragon fruit – cf. Chinese huǒ lóng guǒ 火龍果/火龙果 "fire dragon fruit" and lóng zhū guǒ "dragon pearl fruit", Vietnamese thanh long (sweet dragon), Indonesian and malaysia buah naga "dragon fruit", Lao: mark mang gohn "dragon fruit". Other vernacular names are strawberry pear or nanettikafruit.

Particularly red-skinned pitayas are a good source of Vitamin C.  Pitayas are rich in fiber and minerals, notably phosphorus and calcium. Red pitayas seem to be richer in the former, yellow ones in the latter.  The seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and in particular Red Pitayas contain very little saturated fat.  Pitahayas also contain significant quantities of phytoalbumin antioxidants, which prevent the formation of cancer-causing free radicals.

In Taiwan, diabetics use the fruit as a food substitute for rice and as a source of dietary fibre.

Pitaya supposedly increases excretion of heavy metal toxins and lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. Eaten regularly, it is credited with alleviating chronicrespiratory tract ailments.

What are Enzymes?
"Enzymes are energized protein molecules. They are the human body's life force and are involved in every biochemical reaction of the body. Vitamins, minerals and hormones must have enzymes to work properly. Life cannot exist without enzymes. Individuals who are enzyme deficient are subject to physical problems, diseases and degeneration.

How Enzyme works?
In today's world, digestive enzymes may be the most important health product a person can take. A person not taking digestive enzymes with meals and in an empty stomach is aging faster and getting older quicker... Because he is using up his enzyme reserves and more of the body's energy to help in the digestion than what it was designed to do. Digestive enzymes help conserve the human body's enzyme reserves (metabolic enzymes). Without digestive enzymes the protectors and repairers of the human body can be called into action to help digest food and to clean up the undigested food particles in the bloodstream. When the protectors and repairers are cleaning up the blood they are being distracted away from doing the job they are suppose to do. Fruit enzymes can reduce the burden on the body's natural curative powers, thus allowing the body to perform its natural, healing function.

Body Massage for Less

After a hard days work, a full body massage is relaxing and therapeutic. Each week, I have a regular massage session with my therapist.

Now a days, massage is available in different forms and prices. Price may vary depending on the place or length of massage. I've had massages ranging from P1,500 to as low as P300. There are even much cheaper massages at P20/ 5 minutes but of course, these are massage chairs and machine operated and usually available in airports and malls.

Do make sure to find time to pamper yourself with a relaxing massage from time to time.

Cheapest Way to Travel by Air

With the onset of cheap and budget airfares, I think you can say that traveling by air is not only still the safest way to travel but the cheapest way as well.  Of course, this statement is relative for the price conscious traveller.

Last year I was able to travel to Bohol, Boracay and Hongkong on budget airfares.  I got a very good deal for 7 people's airfare to Tagbilaran, Bohol for only P11,000 sometime February 2010.  Also, I got a great deal for a promo fare to Boracay (Via Kalibo) for only P2,400 good for 2 pax already.  Meanwhile, our regular family out of the country trip to Hongkong was also a bonus since I only paid P16,000 for 4 pax's airfare.

Buying cheap airfare means you can spend your budget on some other items such as better hotels or "pasalubong" to your family and friends.

Next stop this August 2011 -  Boracay (via Caticlan) for 4 pax for only P7,000.  Quite a steal, don't you think?

SCHOOL BUS SERVICE

For the past couple of years, I've been paying for school bus service for my kids. This 2011 school year, I'll be paying almost P5,000 per month. This drew me to the idea of why not just get a brand new vehicle to be used as school service for my kids. If I get just at least 3 kids, then this vehicle will be self-liquidating.

I inquired for a 2011 Mitsubishi Adventure GLX. I'm surprised to know that the price of the Adventure is P100k cheaper compared to the Toyota Innova J - Diesel. Just hoping that my car loan application will be approved by the bank.
