River Rafting at Cagayan de Oro

River rafting at Cagayan de Oro City, FUN!

Kids getting excited! We took the Advance Package which cost us Php 1000 each and Php 500 fee for the whole group for the pictures. At first, I felt that Php 500 was a bit expensive for the pictures but after I have seen the CD, it was all worth it. You can really see in these kids faces' all smiles. They are too excited for the fun and adventure ahead of them. 


As far as I have remembered, I think the Advance package for the river rafting has 21 rapids and it lasted for 4-5 hours. It was a good idea for us to bring lunch with during the fun and ate in the middle of our adventure while taking breaks.

That's me on the rock!... 

If you go to Cagayan de Oro City, don't forget to try and experience river rafting. You can contact CDO Bugsay and book your adventure.

Pick up is at 7:30AM near Dunkin Dougnuts divisoria. You will be fetched by a jeepney with blue boats on top of it. Same jeepney you will be on riding going to the mountains. It's good to wear leggings and warmer to avoid sunburn. Sunblock didn't work! :D

Thanks to Jhong the photographer and to our river guide, which I forgot the name.

High Five! BUGSAY!

Little Emily Online Shop Review

I have not shopped here recently but I just wanted to share my thoughts about it.

I have been a customer of Little Emily Shop even during the multiply.com existence. But after it shutdown, I was glad that they put up their own domain to cater their customers from multiply. You can check their online shop here Little Emily Shop.

What I like about this shop is that they offer wholesale price, which means you can get it cheaper compared to the retail prices but of course with a minimum number of orders required. I was a hoarder back then, and online shopping is the best way to satisfy my thirst as it is the most accessible way for me.

They sell all kinds of products, from memo pads to stickers to accessories to dress. Most of the items are really cute too. The site is easy to navigate and really simple. They also accept re-sellers.

On top of that, the thing that you will love most about the shop is the affordable prices they offer. You can save more if you buy from them especially those Asian dresses sold on wholesaler sites from China. Though it is not as affordable compared to what you see on those sites but you get to save the expensive shipping fee and Customs Tax. I can still remember, some sellers you can find on Facebook display almost similar items which are very pricey, for a maxi dress you are billed 700-900. Such a pain in my wallet.


If you are from Philippines, and planned to shop on one of those wholesaler websites from China or Hong Kong, might as well buy it from Little Emily Shop, you will get the same quality of goods and be saved from Customs Tax. It's more convenient and fast plus you can save with the shipping fee. They use Xend Express so if you are from provincial areas like me, most likely your order will arrive 2 days after it is shipped.

These shoeboxes are from Little Emily Shop, I bought it few months back. It's 30+ something each box compared 50+ each box when you buy it from retails or somewhere else.

Sadly, their website does not accept credit card payments but I hope they will add it in the future. However if you have linked your card to your PayPal account, then just pay through PayPal, it will be deducted to your card if your PayPal is not funded.


But overall, I always love shopping with Little Emily.
 

Update 2.25.15

So I thought this deserves an update. Right now, I think this shop has been focusing on selling  ladies wears. I am still shopping with them from time to time. As usual, order and and payment processing is fast, but since they deliver their orders through Xend, it takes 4-5 days before I can get the item. It still annoys me though why it is taking that long, I would be very lucky if I receive the orders after 3 days.


Customer support is fast, if you need something to be change in your order, you will receive a reply from them within the except Holidays and Sundays.

The items are non branded so you can't expect a high end quality of their item, some are good and some are not. Some of their dresses are very nice though. Sizes are mostly based on Asian women so if you are petite like me, it will be a very good fit. 


 
Those are some of my favorites from them. :)
