It has been one of my habits to check air fares and promotions of different airlines almost every other day. As a matter of fact I got all my tickets back here by promotion. Before I left SG on the night of 24th, my housemates were browsing for air fare and promotions thru the website for there will be a long holiday in Sg on January for Chinese New Year and everybody's planning a holiday of their own. We all got excited and surprised when we came along the Cebu Pacific's zero fair promotion-- a round trip ticket to Singapore for $30 sgd only, all taxes and fares in.
When I arrived here in Manila on the 25th, I immediately informed my family about the promotion and the first who got so excited was tatay. He has all the means to travel even as far Europe and US for he has the money, he'd been to some countries in Asia but not Singapore and he would prefer to travel only if it's free like to attend seminar overseas or if somebody would pay for his expenses... he is frugal errr thrifty?(whatever). He didn't stop bugging me about booking his ticket immediately when he heard about the promo, he was afraid that all seats would be taken and he wouldn't be able to make it to the end date. So I booked his ticket online for one week Singapore experience and got it for only 940.00PHP. Then after I booked my sister Lala, her husband Pen and yuan for an earlier visit to Singapore. It is also our birthday treat to yuan for his 8th birthday. The original plan was Hongkong Disneyland but to take advantage of the promotion we decided to postpone the Disneyland trip for the summer maybe. Rain is not going with them because she has work and she's been in Singapore already.

So much cheaper than flying back to Dipolog or Cagayan de Oro. The best deal I had from Cebu Pacific.
The story didn't stop on me booking for my family's ticket; late in the afternoon I got hold of Jay over the net and informed him about the promotion, he could not believe that an airline would offer such cheap air fare, last message I got from him was "mura nga kung 940.00 per pax".Thirty minutes after I logged out, I got a call from Nates, he was asking if I can book his whole family online for Singapore. I didn't know that after I chatted with Jay he called his family and asked them to take advantage of the promotion and take a vacation to Singapore, he would be paying for the trip... I got so excited about the idea...it means that I would be expecting my cousins, and my family in February, all of the tickets were confirmed already so the next thing to do is to plan everything ahead. Though It would be hectic, I wouldn't mind at all, I cannot wait for this adventure.
