We stayed in One Rover’s Place, 5 minutes away from PPS airport.  I may say that the accommodation is good but not perfect.  Reminder guys: Puerto Princesa is “Mosquito friendly place” so its everywhere, don’t forget to bring your mosquito repellant.  The rooms were very clean, the staff were accommodating but the water taste like rust.  I also don’t like the buko pandan that they offer us as welcome drinks.  I really hate the taste. I just took a sip but it sucks.

We hired an agent so everything went well.  On our first day, City Tour, we went to crocodile farms, to their churches, to some parks, bakers hill, mitra’s ranch (hope i can still remember them very well lol!) and ended in buying “pasalubong” things.

On our day 2, we went to Underground River, the water was brownish because its raining, but we enjoyed the tour, it took around 45 minutes.  Inside the cave, if there’s no flash light, you really can’t see anything.  Rock formations were amazing.  It’s really the nature that shapes them.  After that we had our lunch “eat all you can” in an island nearby.

On our third day, we went to Honda Bay for an island hopping.  Pandan Island and Snake Island for snorkeling.  And we did enjoy our lunch.  Who would say no to “seafoods”.  I so love it.

Our tour package did not include dinner meals so we have to find a place to dine.  On our first night, we ended up eating in Chowking because the Kinabuch Resto that we first chose were already crowded. But the following night we ate in Kinabuch Resto and it’s really good and budget friendly.  The last night that we were there, we dine in Ka Lui’s Resto.  You have to make a reservation in Ka Lui’s.  The ambiance is very unique.  You have to take off your slippers before going inside, it’s kinda native and you will feel that you are very close to nature.  We’ll I may say they really surprise me when it comes to food.  Foods that I have only tasted there (except for the rice) haha.

Our puerto princesa tour was indeed a wonderful experience.  Nice place to visit.  two thumbs up!!!

I am very grateful to God that He gave me 30 years of living.  I still wanted more years.  My only prayer is that He gave me enough strength to go on living for my family, for those who love me and for those whom I love.

Life is struggle I know.  But living is beautiful.  I often remember my favorite quote, this quote were posted in a wall in my teacher’ s classroom, it says “We will pass this world but once, only good therefore that we can do or we can show, we should do it now, for we will not pass this way again.”  So true. Life indeed is very short to make unworthy.

In my 30 years, I don’t know if I am really that worthy.  If I really have lived my life well.  All I can say is, I am trying to be the best that I can be to everybody.  I have spent my 29 years of living without any regrets.  If i made mistakes, I think that’s inevitable.  What I am now is because of the mistakes or the experiences that I have encountered that makes me stronger and it inspires me to explore more with people around me.

I am happy and will embrace another year that will be added to my age.  It’s just a number anyway.  Life goes on.  No matter what.

Though there is not much to tell, just want to do a recap, its 2011, still got work but really don’t have much work, good thing the company does not close or retrench people. Lovelife? still the same, im with the same man and still in love. I told you not much to tell… but love to share. lol.

Nung bata ako, i’m of those na excited tuwing sasapit ang pasko.  Caroling para magkapera.  Kahit di maganda ang boses sige pa rin ang kanta.  Sinasabayan pa ng sayaw, para pagdating ng pasko may pera.  Pambili ng pagkain or damit na maisusuot sa mismong araw ng pasko.

Pag pumupunta ako sa ninang ko masaya na akong mabigyan ng kahit sampung piso o kahit simpleng shorts lang o tsinelas kaya.  Yung isang ninong ko nagtatago pa, yung isa naman laging walang binibigay.  Yung laging nagbibigay dun pa sa palengke, dinadayo ko pa. Ganoon pa man, masaya ako.

Simple lang ang selebrasyon, minsan may handa but most of the times, simpleng pansit lang at tinapay.  Wala namang masyadong pinupuntahan.  Pabalik-balik lang sa kalsada with friends.  Pagdating ng noche buena uwi na para kumain.  Ganito lang kasimple ang pasko namin.

Napakaganda talaga ng lugar, it has 4 pools, nice place for unwinding, soul searching and mind resting.   And it’s very cheap…

Here are some photos… and you’ll surely love the place… It’s perfect for any gatherings…

It’s not just a resort it’s a paradise… very friendly pa ang mga worker dito and the activities you can do here is not just merely swimming, they also have other amenities na siguradong maeenjoy nyo at educational din ang place, perfect para sa tour because of their Science & Museum and Animal Farm…

I really enjoy visiting this place… eto ang lugar na talagang babalik-balikan… can’t wait to go back !!!

After the incident, everybody knows boyet fajardo’s name.  To defend his side, he said in an interviewe that he has a “creative outburst” tired from work and didn’t feel well.  If you guys don’t feel well do you do such things? of course not.

I guess many have been told about him, in the news and in the net.   It’s just so pathetic that our success sometimes change the way we treat people.  People, whatever the status in life, still have emotions.  Now, there are petition on the net not to buy his RTW’s and not to patronize his creations.  Yes you are successful but don’t you remember, people put you on where you are now but people also can pull you down.

What happened to me in the past months? well, nothing much.  just celebrate christmas with my family here in Manila, haven’t got the chance to visit my mother and other relatives in the province because of my work.  at work, I am still in the “review” period, am not hurrying anyway they can take their time…

just spend my time reading..reading and reading.. I have read Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, it’s a very good novel.  highly recomended. Dan Brown is really an amazing writer, he’s my favorite now, i am thinking if i’ll collect all his novels, its worth it.

i am currently reading Deception Point, but i’m not yet done. I’ve already read digital fortress and da vinci code.  i am certainly a dan brown fanatic. haha

i told you nothing much happened in my life.  it just so happen that i am not doing much today at work…

bye bye for now

Here’s the selection of a “famous relationship quotes” to help us ponder our own

Sometimes if you’re lucky, someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who’s tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones.

We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways – the ways we react and behave when we love someone.

In a strange way, playing David (gay character in Six Feet Under) during the first season required me to get in touch with my homophobia. He had such internalized loathing for who he was. I certainly have moved forward in my life, in my own relationship to my self-loathing, by having played David.

I’m trying to find a man to share my life with, but it’s not been easy. I’m a 35-year-old woman with two small children

Trust is really important, just in relationships in general. I really don’t like people that aren’t real people around me at all. I don’t like people that are “yes” people. I don’t like people that tell me what they think I want to hear.
Beyonce Knowles - Relationships – Trust – Truth

There’s definitely a dangerous feeling when you’re in love.. it’s giving your heart to someone else and knowing that they have control over your feelings. I know for me, who always tries to be so tough, that’s the dangerous thing.
Beyonce Knowles - Relationships – Love – Risk

When you really don’t like a guy, they’re all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they’re no longer interested.

I love the idea of spending the whole day in bed with my lover. I’m very open with my love. I’m passionate and I feel a lot, and I’m never afraid to get close to someone. I’m not afraid of love.

Take it from a guy: If you’re in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You’re going to get to her somehow, some way.

The problem is that for women, the average time is just over 14 minutes,.. men are left with about 12 minutes during which time they need to think of something to do!

The present moment has always been available to spiritual seekers, but as long as you are seeking you are not available to the present moment. “Seeking” implies that you are looking to the future for some answer, or for some achievement, spiritual or otherwise. Everybody is in the seeking mode, seeking to add something to who they are, whether it be money, relationships, possessions, knowledge, status.. or spiritual attainment.
Eckhart Tolle - Spirit – Enlightenment – Improvement – Money – Knowledge – Relationships

The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.

Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you’re with an individual who isn’t moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain’t going to work.
Usher – Break Up – Relationships – Life

I’m 25 years old and I’m dealing with my responsibilities as a man and I’m not afraid to speak, to be realistic and talk about the issues men deal with in relationships.

I’m not religious at all. I think faith is something that gives you strength. I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason but I don’t think that there’s a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though. There are so many rude people around and they’re the people that don’t have any real friends. And relationships with people – with your mom, your nan, your dog.. are what you get the most happiness in life from. Apart from shoes and bags.

Honestly, I think I can be better. My marriage is only going to help me. I found a person I can talk to and a person who is going to be by my side through thick and thin. Elin has instilled a lot of confidence in me in all aspects of my life.

I wonder what happened to him why suddenly he made no contact, i sometimes checked my msn if he’s online, send him email to know how he is or if things are ok but no response.

2008, I don’t know what triggers me to open my msn that day, it was 12 midnight here and i am currently at work, but can’t do anything at work so i decided to visit my account and there his name appears to be online… i promptly typed a message and say how he is… then he responded… he’s ok… and he asked if i still know him… i said i did and wonder what happened to him… He is very grateful that I didn’t forget him… How should I? He became a good friend from afar…

It’s a nice feeling to have our communications back, exchanging ideas about the things and the places that we’ve been and how we face things.  He said he’d got married but get a divorce.  I said I’m still single but in a commitment.  He was glad I found one.  We are bonded by the so-called “online friendship” and we are hoping we can meet someday.

Here are the most beautiful places in the world…

1.  The Inca City of Machu Picchu located in Peru near Cuzco

2.  The Iguazu WaterFalls in Argentina – Brazil, borders between the two countries

3. The Tadj Mahall in India, located in Agra, South-West of Delhi

4. The Pyramids and the Sphinx in Egypt

5. The Great Canyon of Colorado in the United States

6.  The Migrating Animals in the Serengeti Park in Tanzania
