Shipping Cart Review: Loot Gaming Crate to the Philippines

Image
A few weeks ago, I placed an order for a Loot Gaming box from Loot Crate and had it sent to my Shipping Cart address. Today, it finally arrived! A screencap of the emails I received from Shipping Cart. Timeline (Philippine Time): 12:45AM: FedEx delivered the Loot Gaming to Shipping Cart. 02:52AM: Shipping Cart sent me an email confirming receipt of the package. 03:45AM: Shipping Cart sent me another email informing me that the package in my cart is ready to ship!

I log into my Shipping Cart account and this is what I see: When I click on the Loot Gaming link, I am directed to the details page where the dates, dimensions and weight are displayed. There are also two pictures of the Loot Gaming box taken, one with it open and the other picture with rulers beside it to measure its dimensions. Weight for Air Shipping As

My Rakso Travel Experience: Jeju Island 2017

Image
I finally got to travel overseas for the first time on my birthday week last May of 2017. The destination was the breathtaking Jeju Island of South Korea. Around April, I've been browsing online for overseas trips without requiring a visa. I really did not want to be hassled by preparing documents and such. After a round of Googling, I stumble upon Rakso's website and saw the page for Jeju Island. Where is Jeju Island? Is it visa-free? Jeju Island is the man island of the Jeju Province in South Korea. It is true that Jeju Island is visa free , given that you are entering the island directly and not through a connecting flight from any other part of South Korea.  You can stay a maximum of 30 days. From my knowledge, only through Philippine Airlines via a chartered flight is the only way to fly from Manila to Jeju Island directly. I am uncertain if this flight can be availed only through Rakso Travels. Another option is that you choose a connecting flight from M

Palo Alto Bed and Breakfast: Puerto Princesa's Peaceful Sanctuary

Last April, I managed to bag two round-trip tickets to Palawan from AirAsia. I was stoked! The tickets cost only Php 1700 both ways for two people! It was definitely a steal! About a week before our planned flight, I was scouting Agoda on my iPad and I found Palo Alto's listing on the app. It was affordable and had great reviews. Also the facilities and services were superb for its price range. I was already sold then. I showed the pictures to Peter and he gave his approval as well. We paid through the app by credit card and confirmed our booking with Palo Alto through phone.
