Most credit card companies like Banco de Oro (BDO) may waive the annual or monthly fee if the client meet certain criteria of the card issuer. This is regardless if the card issued is Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, etc. 2 weeks ago, my husband called up BDO to request for reversal of the monthly fees on his BDO Shopmore credit card.

Paying for BPI credit card bill is made even easier by making it possible to pay the amount due using the Shopee app and Shopeepay. I am becoming a fan!

It’s not my first…

Countless summers and trips from Cebu to Dumaguete to Valencia always have a ‘getaway to Tejero’ in the itinerary; it’s one of the non-negotiable aspects when our side of the clan visits our Lola’s birthplace. The other non-negos are buying torta and pure tablea sa tiangge. =) In early 2000s and up to a few…

Some say this plant is a collector’s item for its rarity and its eye-catching giant, lush leaves.. A ‘must have’, some will push hehe. Is this plant really rare?

My backyard garden and house plants collection is growing day by day. Aside from purchases from the public market, via online plant sellers, and also during plant exhibitions and fairs, there are now a fair amount of growing plants from own propagations and offshoots. Yey, yeyyy! Happy dance! I’m becoming a certified plant tita more…
