Christmas Sale at MSI-ECS in Libis

One of the advantages of living in Mero Manila is getting big discounts in a sale. It’s even more rewarding if the items are computer related. Me drools.

I bought one item last year, a flashdrive. I might buy HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-One printer for 2,992.50 which is originally priced at 3,990.00, that’s 25% off.

Full price list here.

Where to Get a Bus Ride Going to Cavite?

This a guide if you start from Metro Manila. This is all according to my experience. I have a brother who lives in Manggahan Cavite. He would invite me sometimes to visit him.

EDSA. There are a number of air conditioned buses that ply along EDSA.

Taft Avenue. Starting at Lawton, near the Manila City Hall.

Baclaran. But the buses there might already half full or almost filled. So it’s not a good idea if you take a bus from there.

  • The Philippine area code is 63.
  • The common cellular phone prefix numbers of Globe are 0917, 0915. For Smart are 0918, 0919. For Sun Cellular it’s 0922.
  • Payphone from telephone companies are sometimes a frustration, some don’t work. But there are a lot of small shops offering payphone service for 5 pesos each call for 3 minutes.
