Make Gift Giving Hassle-Free with GC Regalo

In any occasions most of the time we cannot think what to give as a gift, do our picks will make the recipients happy or bit disappointed? Most of the time, we always ran out of time to get something to give as gifts in malls. We consider a lot of things, like the gender, the color, the size and yes even the amount. Personally, most of the time I want my gift to be customized or personalized as well, but would they appreciate it? Honestly this would be appreciated by those persons who can buy anything. But how about those people who budgets everything (like me also) practically cash as gift would be much appreciated, but how about making it more extra special? Here's an idea I could share with you: A Fool-Proof Gift Giving Ideas for All Occasions.

Yes! you got it right! A gift certificate! Few more days before the 'BER' Months! and yes preparations for gift giving this Christmas Season should be on our TO-DO/TO-BUY lists and getting GCs in advance will save you from the long lane on ATM, traffic, long lane on cashiers and it could save you time and yes even Money! (when you were at the mall you will be hungry, buy foods and will even costs you more when you saw that RED TAG screaming SALE! - 20% off; 40% off; 50% off and so on, you will probably get something you doesnt even needed! But of course you will take the advantage because of the sale and promos) 

SODEXO Premium Pass

SM Gift Pass

(You could even check GCs of Rustan's, Shopwise and Waltermart) 

In our office, we were given GCs as rewards and tokens and we found that GCs are worth the use why?

Kwentong Jeepney

Uuwi ulit akong mag-isa.

Ano nga bang meron sa jeep?

Ano nga bang nangyayari sa byahe ko pag-umuuwi ako?

Madami. Iba-ibang klaseng tao. Iba-ibang klaseng komedya.

Case # 1: "Aray, ano ba?"

Madalas na dialogue ng mga babaeng feeling commercial model ng shampoo kung
ipatangay sa hangin ang buhok. Mga walang pakialam kahit na ang mga katabi nila ay hirap na hirap na sa pag-iwas sa paghampas nito sa mukha nila. Kaya ako kapag di na ako makapagpigil, hinihila ko na yung buhok, sabay sorry kunwari akala ko buhok ko yun. At kapag sinusumpong ako, kinakalabit ko na at sinasabihan kong hindi ako kumakain ng buhok.

Case # 2: "Blah, blah, blah...'

Mga taong feeling sila lang ang sakay na kung mag-usap ay dinig ng lahat ng pasahero. Nakakaaliw sila minsan lalo na't mahaba ang byahe at walang radyo yung jeep. Pampalipas oras din sila, minsan nga gusto ko ng sumabat dun sa kwentuhan nila lalo na kapag nakaka-relate ako. Pero kapag inaantok ako at di na makapagpigil, tinitingnan ko sila na parang gusto kong dukutin ang lalamunan nila.

Case # 3: "Pakiabot lang po..."

Kapag napaupo ka ng medyo malapit-lapit sa driver, asahan mo ng magiging taga-abot ka ng bayad. Ok lang sana yun eh, hwag ka lang makaka-tyempo ng driver na may pagka-manyakis na nanadyang manghaplos ng kamay. O kaya naman ng driver na parang di pa ata nakakaalam na uso na ang deodorant. O kaya naman ng driver na mas malakas pang bumuga sa tambutso nya ang bunganga. Syempre wala naman akong magawa kundi ang magtakip na lang ng ilong at umurong agad kapag medyo lumuwang. At meron namang mga pasaherong sobrang bait na hindi ka pa nakakapagsalita ay kinukuha na sa kamay mo ang bayad mo. Meron din syempreng matatapang na kapag hindi mo nakuha agad yung bayad nila ay medyo itataas ang boses at may kasama pang ismid. Hay naku, pwede ba wala akong kumisyon sa pag-abot ng bayad nyo ha.

Case # 4: "Makikiusog nga..."

Para sa mga kung umupo ay kala mo pang-dalawang tao ang binayaran. May mga babaeng kung umupo ay nakalihis, walang pakialam na yung katabi nya kalahating pwet na lang ang nakaupo. Meron din mga lalaking kung makaupo ay halos mangingimi kang tumingin sa kanya dahil sa laki ng pagkakabukaka. Animo'y may kung anong pinoprotektahan sa pagitan ng kanyang mga hita. Kapag ipit na ipit na ako, sinasabayan ko ang pag-preno ng mama sa
pag-usog. Pasensyahan na lang kung mapalakas.

Case # 5: "Ooozzz."

Wala namang masama kung matulog ka habang nasa byahe, pero sana lang walang dantayan at basagan ng bao o di kaya ay matuluan ng panis nyang laway. Kapag may katabi akong natutulog na, hinahayaan ko lang (syempre alangan namang pigilan ko) at kapag babagsak na ung ulo nya sa 'kin,bigla kong ibinababa balikat ko para magulantang sya.

Case # 6: "Mama, para ho..."

May mga driver na di mo mapipigilang mapamura sa sobrang tagal bago huminto na halos kailanganin mo ng sumakay pabalik sa layo ng pinagbabaan sa 'yo. Meron namang hihinto kahit na sa gitna ng kalsada mabawasan lang agad ang sakay nya. At meron ding halos mahalikan mo na yung katabi o kung minalas-malas ka ay mahuhulog ka pa dahil sa biglang pagpreno nya. May mga pasahero namang hindi pa nakuntento sa pagkalakas-lakas na pagsabi ng para at kumakatok pa sa bubong. Merong namang magbabayad kapag pababa na at may gana pang magalit kapag hindi agad naihinto ang sasakyan. At syempre merong mga nagmamadaling akala mo ay mauubusan ng lupa kung bumaba, kasehodang mabunggo at matapakan nyang lahat ng daraanan nya. Pero pamatay pa ring yung minsang may nakasakay akong mama na pagkalakas-lakas at paulit-ulit na sumisigaw ng "Bayad ho, bayad ho, bayad ho..." Syempre yung driver, kuntodo extend ng kamay nya. Nakatingin na lahat dun sa mama na kumakatok-katok pa sa bubong ng jeep. Sabay naalala nyang "Para" pala ang dapat nyang isinisigaw.

Case # 7: "Love birds..."

Syempre pa, hindi mawawala ang mga mag-syotang kala mo may sariling mundo na kung maglampungan ay parang mga pusang di mapakali. Libreng sine 'to, rated 18, kaya lang nakakabitin din lalo na kapag nauna kang bumaba sa kanila. Meron tuloy mga lalaking 'nag-iinit' at biglang bibitaw ang kamay sa pagkakahawak sa bakal para kunwari mapapasubsob sa katabi nila o kaya naman bigla mong mararamdaman na yung siko nila nasa tagiliran mo na. Sarap sampalin ng mga ganung lalaki. Di naman sa nakikialam ako, pero wala namang inggitan...

Case # 8: "Estudyante blues..."

Maraming estudyante na nagbabasa ng libro sa loob ng jeep habang nasa biyahe. yung iba sa sobrang ganda ng binabasa ay nadadala sa kwento..'Yung nakasakay ko minsan na dalagita ay taimtim na nagbabasa ng "Noli Me Tangere". Hindi nya napansin na malapit na syang pumara at sa gulat na bababa na pala siya ay mahinhing sinabi sa driver "Paalam".

Case #9..."Mama, ba-bye...."

Minsan naman may nakasakay ako, 2 magkaibigan na walang ginawa kungdi magkwentuhan ng mga katatawan. Nakakaaliw silang pagmasdan lalo pa't halos magkanda-luha-luha na ang kanilang mata sa kakatawa. At ng oras na para bumaba ang isa sa kanila...narinig ko ang sabi niya na habang natatawa parin .."teka muna bababa nako sige babay" sabay sigaw sa
driver...."Mama....ba-bye!"

Hay naku, ilan lang yan sa mga nararanasan ko kapag umuuwi ako. Dami pa kong kwento kaya lang uwian na eh.

Magbi-byahe pa ako.

Sasakay na ako ng jeep.

Uuwi ulit akong mag-isa.
