Getting CTPLs Fast and Easy from Cebuana Lhuillier

Written by on

Going to Land Transportation Office (LTO) to process car registration renewala is not just a man’s thing anymore. I’ve tried doing it a few times already and it’s not that hard. It just requires a great amount of patience and effort as the entire business of renewing a license or a car registration consists of falling in line for three different counters, whew! To renew a car registration permit it is required to buy CTPL (Compulsory Third Party Liability) insurance as well. This means there is an added work to look for an insurance company of your choice. Most times, to save time and effort, I’d just get it from one of the agents ( that I randomly choose) that swarm outside the LTO, that’s it. Little did I know that I could be getting fake CTPLs from these agents, or these insurance premium purchases would later give me problems […]

After 15 Years and 10 Stores: Blugre Coffee Goes Global

Written by on

1998 was a memorable year for me. It was the start of my life as a young mom when I gave birth to my eldest child August of this year. Well, I am not going to talk about motherhood in this post, but just the fact that while I was busy building a home and starting a family, I realized that this homegrown coffee shop has been a part of it as well. Blugre Coffee was also born in 1998. It came when coffee shops weren’t the “in” thing yet. In fact, I can say that it paved the way for the other coffee shops to open in Davao City. They have specially become a hit too since they introduced a locally concocted blend, the Durian-flavored cappuccino. Back then, while the city was still building itself economically, I would always delight at the thought of new restaurants and shops coming […]

The current competition between local telecom companies to catch attention from their subscribers has become stiff, that it often leaves me confused in differentiating the promotions they offer each time. Unlimited text messaging, unlimited calls, unlimited browsing, all day in Facebook, Twitter or what have you. How many texts was that again and for how many days? And what about texts and calls for other networks?? Good luck to my memory. And please, don’t ask me the text codes to send and the corresponding numbers to send these codes to. I am THAT bad in memorizing them. Chances are, it is not just me who has this kind of dilemma.
