11-11-11

A lot of people are making a big deal with 11-11-11 (November 11, 2011).

It's a good thing though as businesses like Cebu Pacific, Zest Air, Shakey's Pizza, Oxygen and other establishments are holding promos and sales.

But despite the unique date, nothing is really special about this day. 11-12-11 will be tomorrow's date. If you will think about it this date, you will only experience this once as you would probably be dead by November 12, 2011.

Perks of Credit Cards

A few years ago I was so afraid of having a credit card.

Luckily though, I came over that fear as I realize that I religiously handle my budget with careful considerations.

So last weekend, we went to eat at Banana Leaf in Greenbelt 3.

We were thinking of eating at Crocodile Grille but we already ate there so we decided to look for another place... We stumbled upon Banana Leaf which serves Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai and Vietnamese cuisines.

I seem to remember this restaurant having a discount in my HSBC so we inquired...

HSBC has 5% discount and 50% for Premier members

Citibank has 10% discount.

We had a hearty meal of Mee Goreng, Green Chicken Curry and Spicy Garlic Fried Cod Fish with Hainanese Rice.

With the discount, we got rid of the service fee and we were on our budget of P1000 for the meal...

Perks!
