"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby. My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed. My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed. In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.

Just a warning about Cebu Pacific. Zero or discounted fare bookings mean that you are the first to be bumped off from a flight in case there are cancellations. Overbooking is a common practice with a budget airline like Cebu Pacific. Be prepared too if your flight gets 6-8 hrs delayed. Have a back up plan in case this happens to you. Worse, bring that extra cash you saved by booking with them (vs. booking with a more reliable airline) and be ready to spend it for an extra night in a hotel in case you get stranded because Cebu Pacific will not shoulder that cost, unlike other airlines who pay for their passengers' food and lodging. Again, just a warning and I hope the horrors that other Cebu Pacific passengers went through both in local and international flight segments do not happen to you. They can surely ruin someone's vacation, honeymoon or wedding without offering much explanation except their classic line "Sorry for the inconvenience."
ReplyDeleteHi Mia! Thanks for dropping by. I think thats the risk we take in every airline. But I've never seen an international Cebu Pacific flight that was full. But anyhoo, thanks for the advice! Last December - my friends and I got bumped off on a flight to Legaspi! Good thing we were given a free one way ticket to any local destination! Hihi..
ReplyDeleteHey Candishhh. Malaysia Airlines is on sale too. I've flown with Cebu Pacific twice internationally and both times were okay. I've been hearing some rants too about their service though.
