HOW TO CANCEL A GO FLEXI CEBU PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT
If you purchase a go flexi flight, you can cancel your flight and get a refund that will be deposited to the travel fund. What they're not telling you is that you get only a partial refund of everything you paid for the flight, as shown below. So beware when canceling your flight or when you choose go flexi thinking the amount you paid is refundable. Not everything you paid is refundable.

Shake Shack Manila (Megamall branch): My Review
August 20, 2022
Shake Shack Manila (Megamall branch): My Review
The first time I tried Shake Shack was at Shake Shack in Herald Square in New York. That was 3 years ago. At this weekend's movie mania, we decided to try Shake Shack in Manila (Megamall branch). We all agreed that the Shack Burger in New York tasted so much better. Or is it the ambience of being in New York that added to the flavor. 🤔
After tasting the much hyped Shack Burger, I remain a Burger King fan. Just like when tasting wine or whiskey, the first taste is always definitive of the impression it makes. When I tasted Burger King again after the lockdown ended, the first bite was so wonderful I couldn't help but exclaim at how good it was. My first bite of Shack Burger was just ok.
We ordered Shack burger, Double Shack burger, Dark meat hot chicken and plain fries at Shake Shack Megamall. The wonderful Whopper Jr I mentioned above came from Burger King Marcos Highway near Vermont subdivision.

MUST BUY "PASALUBONG" FROM FRANCE: Agerria Foie de Canard Entier a la Truffe (Whole duck foie gras with truffle)
August 5, 2022
Agerria Foie de Canard Entier a la Truffe
(Whole duck foie gras with truffle)
Agerria Foie de Canard Entier a la Truffe (whole duck foie gras with truffle). So worth it! It's a must buy to bring home from France. This has truffle on top but you can buy the "cheaper" version without the truffle. Unlike the pate, the foie du canard is a whole duck foie gras. Agerria Foie de Canard a la Truffe costs 24.90 euros. Without the truffle (the black thing shown in the photo), it will cost 18.50 euros.
My brother bought this item at St. Jean-de-Luz during his Best of France tour with Trafalgar.
