I lost my credit card!!!! Was in Starbucks Ayala earlier then was looking for a new phone (the one I bought last friday I sold to Ching, don’t like it anymore), now when my feet grew tired with all the walking and my arms numb with the paper bag am bringing, I went to Citibank to pay (Mitchy commented once why I pay them more than twice in a month) ’twas then I realized that I don’t have my card with me, I have my wallet which contains my money but I lost my card holder. Good thing I had my atm card for my pay and my two savings atm card in another wallet I left at home. So it’s my credit card, and my two debit cards. Grrrr … in the States they have this product called Walletlock from Lifelock (search online for Lifelock reviews and you’ll get loads of results ) wherein clients who are suffering from lost or stolen wallets can just make one single phone call to a Lifelock specialist who would do all the phone calls in having all the cards and other documents canceled and replaced. Ain’t that nice? With my case I had to call three banks, repeat the details three times which was draining and I dunno time consuming. So now I have to wait 7 to 10 working days for them to deliver my new cards. Comparing the LifeLock promotion code, they seem to be running a variety of subscription, dunno if such a company exist in my location and I don’t think they are running this service worldwide. It’d be added security I think and a hassle saver. *sigh* We ought to have Lifelock discount available here in our country and offers ought to be sent via email.

Getting Around Huge Airports
One of the things I dreaded when I flew to Bangkok was the cancellation of our direct flights from Cebu to Bangkok. For some reason our airline of choice cancelled all direct flights and we have to pass by Manila. I guess changes like this are inevitable and though its a hassle to passengers like me but what can I do? Nothing but just succumb to it as if I have any say on the matter.
If things like this happen to flights within Asia how much more for those interconnecting flights, cross continental. In one of the spam emails I received from work I remembered seeing loads of photos of the worlds huge and busiest airports and I remembered seeing JFK on it. Can’t believe how huge the airport is and the number of flights it caters both domestic and international flights.
Brad mentioned once that it’s easy to get lost around JFK on your way to the next terminal for your connecting flight. Now isn’t that scary? Good thing though he said is that there are companies that offer services such as Shuttle to JFK. One of them is called Go Airlink Shuttle, they offer safe ground transportation throughout New York City and the surrounding suburbs. Good thing about them aside from their modern vans and online 24×7 reservation is that they offer customer service assistance in every terminal at JFK, LGA and EWR. So the lurking idea of getting lost is far from happening. Now if you’re headed that way … better check with them online, set up your reservations to assure a safe and comfy transition between your flights.
