14th Birthday Celebration

One of my favorite travel quotes is “You don’t have to be rich to travel well” and my son’s 14th Birthday Celebration is another example that we can travel or celebrate special occasions without spending too much money. 

Why? We used our miles to book our Manila - Cebu -Manila flight, my husband used his points to book our 3 Days and 2 Nights in Sheraton Mactan Cebu and we used our Globe Rewards Points to buy food for my son’s birthday celebration.

Manila - Cebu -Manila Flight 

Since my son is not also into birthday parties, we usually go out to celebrate his special day except for the past two years because of the pandemic. So we were all looking forward to our Cebu trip because it’s been years since our last domestic flight. And because we no longer travel, our miles are about to expire so I was glad when I learned about the Great Mabuhay Miles Getaway Promotion. 

I told my husband about it and he called Philippine Airlines to book our tickets, medyo matagal ang booking kasi kanya-kanya kaming miles so matagal process. Pero at least, hindi nasayang miles namin ng anak ko.

Sheraton Mactan Cebu 

A few years ago, I spent my birthday at Sheraton Manila and a few months ago, my husband celebrated his birthday at Sheraton Manila Club and a few weeks ago my son celebrated his birthday at Sheraton Mactan. Our staycation deserves a separate post so wait for my blog review.   

Cake Topper and Birthday Card

I prepared two cake toppers for my son’s 14th birthday. And we bought his favorite chocolate cake at Contis.

Birthday Celebration 

Last month, I received a text message from Globe about the 500 Globe Rewards Points so I immediately claimed the gift but I did not redeem the points yet because I don’t know if Shopee Voucher or Food Voucher ang kukunin ko. Good thing that they sent a text message again 3 days before the points expiration so nagmamadali ako sa pagredeem ng points namin. 

My husband and I both redeemed the PHP300 Yellow Cab Voucher and Jollibee Family Spaghetti Pan. We used the voucher on my son’s birthday, so we bought our favorite soy chicken at Yellow Cab and added New Pizza Deal: Get 2 pizzas at PHP799. 

And because we went to Cebu, we had lechon on his birthday. 

We claimed the spaghetti the following day. 

It is almost a week-long birthday celebration. Hehehe! Happy 14th birthday to my favorite son. He is a wonderful gift in our life and we have spent 14 amazing years together and looking forward to spending more years together.
