How To Pay Pag-IBIG Fund Contributions Online

One of my checklist for this year is to start saving through Pag-IBIG Fund. Pag-IBIG is actually a good investment and the availability to pay for the contributions online using your Visa or MasterCard Credit Card are the reasons why I decided to be a member.

As a voluntary member, their online payment facility is very convenient because you got to save time with the long queue or the time you go to payment center. Though it has a charge but it's a reasonable 3.6% convenience fee.

So if you are new to Pag-IBIG, an OFW or just too lazy to go out like me, here's a guide on how to pay for your Monthly Contributions online. Hope this will help you :)

1. Log on to http://www.pagibigfund.gov.ph/ and click on E-SERVICES.

2. You will be redirected to their online payment facility which will look like this.

Simply enter your Pag-IBIG ID number and click verify to see if you have entered your ID correctly. After clicking "Verify", the member's name will be filled out automatically, so if you see it's not your name re-enter your correct ID and verify again. Then finish filling out other necessary information.

3. After clicking submit, you will be redirected to a Payment Summary page where you can review your details.

Click Back button if you need to make changes. Click submit if all details are correct and to proceed with your payment.

4. After you click submit, you will be connected to Pesopay Payment Service where you can enter your credit card details.

1. Top: Select your card type - Visa or MasterCard. 
2. Center: Enter your card details. 
3. Bottom: After ensuring all information is correct, click on Submit. Processing...

5. You will get a confirmation from Pesopay if your payment went through successfully and if you click continue, you will be directed back to Pag-IBIG site with a confirmation of your payment. You will also receive an email and a SMS confirmation.

And that's it. The convenience of online payments.

I hope this has been a help for you. Will SSS and PhilHeatlh have this feature anytime soon? That would be really great.

- Missha Near Skin Firming Peptide Extra Vital Toner
- Missha Creamy Latte Green Tea Cleansing Foam
- Missha Creamy Latte Chocolate Cleansing Foam
- Missha Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam
- Missha Pure Source Sheet Masks Tea Tree and Pearl

- Tony Moly BB Cream and Red Appletox Honey Cream
- Clio Lipnicure and Gel Presso Gel Liner
- Peripera Peri's Tint
- And some which I forgot

Freebies makes me want to buy more! Hahahaha... Actually I like getting trial kits specially the ones that I use as they come in handy during travels or on weekend getaways. I do not need to bring the heavy bottles with me.

I am actually really excited for this set because of the Near Skin Firming Peptide set where I am dying to try it on full bottles and see it's magic if used for a longer period of time. I tried the trial kits and I was really impressed that I had to order the full size.

My cleansing foam is good for a 1 year supply. I don't have to worry if there is zombie apocalypse coming. :D Naaah, I am actually giving it to my mom if she is interested in using it. My mom has a perfect skin, she doesn't put on anything on her face but still maintain a fair skin until now. The gene that I never had from her. Younger bro got that lucky gene from mom and I hate him for that reason! (Bitter!!).

And a lot of sheet mask. I also promised myself that I'll be using sheet mask regularly so I bought a lot and more coming. Seller actually asked me if Missha Mask are that really great why I am buying a lot of it (and more to come!). That made me think too why I prefer Missha. It's actually the first brand from Korea that I used and never had problems with. Probably that's why I like using anything from Missha. Also, the essence from their mask is not too thick compared to Etude House so it absorbs faster on my skin.

So much to love on this box.

The Faceshop Clean Face Oil Control BB Cream Review

How was your New Year girl?

This time, I'll be reviewing a BB Cream from The Faceshop. It is there Clean Face Oil Control BB Cream. I do not know how much it will cost if you buy from the Faceshop boutiques but got it for around P500 online.

I am not sure what the size of the tube is as everything in the back is written in Korean. But on the website it says 35 ml. The packaging is simple, nothing too fancy about it. The tube also is a matte type so it is quite nice to touch. In front, it reads

- Chamomile Extract
- Quick Clear Complex
- New and improved Quick Clear Complex treats oily or problem skin more quickly and effectively.

cr: thefaceshop website

Grabbed the product details from the Faceshop International website. It is meant for troubled skin, which is why I bought it. I actually also bought the spot corrector which I like.

The cream comes in one color only which is a lighter shade, so if you have a darker skin tone, it may not blend well on your skin and if you put too much you might end up looking like a geisha. But it actually blends well on my skin after it oxidize, I just try to avoid on putting too much on my face.

This how it blends on my hands. It's not too greasy and glides easily when you apply using your fingertips. I actually like using the product. Soothing smell, matte finish, and I don't need put too much powder. I have an oily face but when using this BB cream, the oiliness on my face is controlled. The only problem I had when I was using this straight for 5 days is that it breaks me out. Yup, this is the only downside and this probably my last BB cream from The Faceshop. I have also tried the Aqua Tinted BB Cream before and it break me out badly that I had to seek medical treatment. I am not sure what is with their BB cream but I am no longer risking my face again.

What I like

- Nice smell

- Glides easily during application

- Matte Finish

- Controls the oiliness on my face

What I don't like

- Breaks me out so I had to stop using it immediately

Buying again? Nope, and this is last BB cream from the Faceshop too.

PS: I am still trying to save it from being thrown to my trash bin so if you are interested, let me know.

Cebu Pacific Air: No More Fuel Surcharge

Ain't that sweet guys? As I was trying to check for a cheap flights for Cebu next week, I saw this welcome message from Cebu Pacific Air home page. No More Fuel Surcharge!

Piso fare will be now much cheaper (I think so!). But I still have to find it out on their next promo. I am just so happy. This means more travels for me in the future.

Is Philippine Airlines doing the same too? I also checked their website but I didn't see any notifications for that. They might follow as well in the next few days. (Maybe, right?)
