North Bound Travel

I’m the inked informer who loves to travel. Way back in my teenage life, my first goal is to travel around the Philippines. Well, I guess I have started fulfilling those dreams of mine little by little. Once I have the opportunity to trek, I make sure that I can make it because for me there will be no next time. And usually I don’t find it more exciting anymore if I have missed that journey for the first time. Hehehe, sounds weird but that’s the way it goes for me.



I’ve travelled for three days to North bound of the Philippines. Fortunately, the travel was cool, adventurous and yet exciting. I was with my friend, Maryrose and Mike who happens to be our driver by that time. We’re actually on a business trip and at the same time, a time for a momentous journey.

We started dropping by at Bulacan where I visited my foster parents which I haven’t seen for 6 years. So funny that they didn’t recognize me right then when they saw me. Eventually I left, but I felt some sadness when I leave them. I just did promised them that I’ll be back soon for a long visit for the next time.

We headed for Nueva Ecija and decided to have our dinner there. After an hour, we drive to Tarlac City and planned to stay there for an overnight. We had our breakfast at Isdaan (the floating restaurant).You’ll probably know this place if you’re familiar bout the “taksiyapo,” (where breakable items is thrown on the wall and shouting “taksiyapo” if you hate someone).

From Tarlac, we directed to Dagupan then to Laoag for some business where we reach the place at midnight because of the long driving. We stayed there for a sleep and planned to be back at Vigan the next day.


From Vigan, we slated to Baguio…. Actually, I live in that city 6 years ago, but that’s the old story I guess… hehehe…

Furthermore, it was a foggy afternoon when we reach the mountain and rains when we hit down the city. We go over to La Trinidad, Benguet where strawberry farm is located for hoping to pick some berries there. But because of the heavy rain, there were no berries on the farm. Well, so not to ruin my day, I just bought some phenomenal souvenirs. My spadril footwear, a Baguio shirt, keychains, a broom and some delicacies made from the city. At eight in the evening, we decided to go back to Manila for the next day is Monday and just another day for work. And….. of course, the trip is over.

We reach home at four in the morning, and whew! It was tiring but I find it so exciting.....

Just another fulfillment in life.

Till the next journey!

North Bound Travel - April 2009

love him...

I love him once,

I love him twice…

I even love him thrice…






I love him, then…

+Oo MuCh L0Ve W!LL kILL yOu....

I'm just the pieces of the woman I used to be
Too many bitter tears are rainin' down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long,
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growin' up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been lookin' back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the woman I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down,
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
Oh there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm about to lose
Oho oh!

Yeah, too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Yeah, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end...



SAD BUT TRUE.....

ThE LoVe Of An AnGeL FoR tHe DeViL

In the arms of an innocent angel who embraces this lonely sad evil to free her from fear...

…but as the evil lives in the treachery world of life, it’s seems that it’s not good enough for her that she always feels so empty...

...Far away from here, under the stars and street lights the angel spends his time waiting to build up for a true love; still...

It makes no difference from any other hungry blessed creatures with wings to crave for the sweet white lies of the irresistible evil….

For the glory of sadness, the arms of the angel are always there to receive the empty evil to pour some comfort and peace that anyone could do...




For all the seasons, heaven knows that the angel carry the love of the evil for every reason. Carrying the joy from where it all started...

For every thought, the angel became the cover for every storm and the savior for every emotion.

….for the least the evil think what to say….

“For every day you hold, we always had the blessings. You carry the beauty in every love we make. In everything that happens, I know there is love… just like the first time we had each other we let the feeling shows. And the first time we sing, it brings happiness in every hymn….No matter what, we did take it slow… we both know that we enjoyed the seasons and I know you carry my love perpetually …

…And in each time I’m in your arms…

I know...

I’m home...

melancholy

Various emotions fill the heart. Can’t tell what exactly it feels....

Hurting someone is not an intention. Some things merely change in an instant and no one can tell how it happens though.

For a reason, I guess...

Refusing to accept the fact that love flies out of the window…. No… they’re just tired, I know. Just needs a placid place to rest to run from noise.

I know… I know hurting was wrong, but how could love be kept if one’s heart is grieving from misery.

If pain in the past hasn’t remembered, then how could someone be so mad?

In the deep silence of a heart may sometimes burst out into tears. Nobody wants to cry....

Each time is wholly precious yet it’s slowly slipping away....

This vulnerable heart sometimes doesn’t understand pain.

...but it indisputably doesn’t be set to hurt the one it loves.

Batangas

I just had another chilling escapade to Laiya Batangas where we had a great day spending our time in the beautiful beach of Virgin Resort. It was really awesome here and when you reach the place you will actually forget about that 3 hours journey, and the snappy breeze? of course, will surely ease your body....

However, whenever I got the chance to travel I’m very much sure that no one can stop me in grabbing that opportunity for a real adventure. Hehehehe

I was with my cool dudes here and in fact, I enjoyed the day except the time when we went home. I had a real bad headache and a lousy tummy which makes me vomits those yummy burger and iced coffee, eeewww… We had so much fun here; picture takings, a mere time for sisha and lambanog, volleyball game, skim boarding for my friends, and of course a chance for me to catch a good nap.

Check out our photos here and hope you could find some time too to visit this beach.

Gotcha!

Whoa!!!

Pacman - Ang "kamao" ng Pilipinas

Ako’y nagagalak sa pagkapanalo ni Paquiao sa isa nanamang laban nya na kung saan ang kanyang katunggali ay si Ricky Hatton. Simula pa man sa umpisa iniidolo ko na si Pacman dahil sa kanyang angking galing at lakas. Isipin mo na lang magagaling at malalakas din ang kanyang mga nagiging kalaban, ngunit, subalit, datapwat, mas magaling pa pala sya sa mga to. Nakakabighani ang tinaguriang “Pacman” ng Pilipinas dahil ni minsan wala pa man na nakakatalo sa kanya.

Pero kung ako ang tatanungin, buti nga sa kanila na natalo sila ni Paquiao, dahil sa kanilang mga nilalabas na kayabangan bago ang laban, hmp! Di nakuha rin nila ang hinahanap nila. Yan ang tinatawag na “karma.” (digital pa naman ngayon). Hahaha. Kung mapapansin nating lahat si pacman sa kanyang mga interview, likas na simple at mapakumbabang pagkatao lamang ang kanyang pinapakita kumpara sa kabilang kampo na kung hamunin sya sa laban ay parang wala ng bukas. Kataka-taka ang lakas at galing na binitawan nya sa bawat suntok lalo na ng talunin nya si Hatton sa pangalawang round ng kanilang laban. Ni hindi man lang si pacman pinawisan at napagod ng husto. Mas mahaba pa yata ang oras ng kanyang ehersisyo at mas pinawisan pa yata sya don kesa sa naging laban nya. At dahil sa kanyang pagkapanalo, karapat dapat lang naman talaga syang bigyan ng matinding karangalan. At isipin nyo na lang, di lang likas na Filipino ang mga humahanga sa kanya pati na rin mga banyaga na nakakakilala sa kanya.

Hmmm… kelan ko kaya makikilala ang pacman na to? Pagnagkataon, magpapa picture ako kasama sya at ipagmamalaki ko to ng todo. Oist! Si Pacman yata yon! Hahahha!

Sa katunayan, nakipag pusta pa ako sa kasama ko sa trabaho, at di nga ako nabigo, nanalo ang manok ko. Este, “pacman” ko pala, hehehehe….

Para sa ini-idolo at hinahangaan ng lahat, ang maikling artikulo na to ay inaalay ko “PARA SAYO”, bilib ako sa kakayahan mo at saludo ako. Saan man ako mapadpad ipagmamalaki kita, dahil sa puso’t isipan alam kong “FILIPINO ANG LAHI KO.”

“see how prayers works on Pacman’s lives.”

Puerto Galera

My Puerto Galera romp last May 2007.

See the beauty of Mindoro Oriental. It has an adorable nature hidden in their peaceful province. I got some photos here to view.

And....

Just a glimpse to reminisce the time I spent unwinding here.

WoRdS women UsEd

Here are the words we usually hear from women especially when they only want a simple word to reason out. This happens all the time so go check 'em out!

Woman, don't deny..... hehehe

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare , not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Psalm 23 (For the Work Place)

The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.

He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.

He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without

murmuring and complaining.

He reminds me that He is my source and not my job.

He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions

that I might honor Him in all that I do

Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails,

system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks,

gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors

and an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning ,

I still will not stop--- for He is with me!

His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through.

He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.

He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go.

His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus cheque

His retirement plan beats any 401k there is!

When it's all said and done,

I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer

and for that I BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!

Get some Humors...

I got these images from my mail. I found some sense of humor bout this so I wanna share it here....


Toilet 1: A painted floor of the bathroom as if you're in the tenth floor of a hi-rise building. Dare to enter?


Toilet 2: This is the outside view.



... and here's the inside view. It's a toilet made from a one-way glass. No one can see you from the outside, but when you sit inside, it's just like sitting in a clear glass box. Now, can you do your thing here? hehehe

At a smoker's lounge.....

So, still want some smoke?

Dreary Time

After a boring day at work last Thursday, I think of going out to Kohee for a cup of coffee and ate some delicacies. The feeling of boredom is just another kind of emotion that I don’t wanna feel. Well, I think we all don’t want to feel that way I guess. But spending some time at the coffee shop alone is also a good time for me to think. I sat there with a feeling of confusion, jaded, and gloomy. But it’s ok; anyway I sometimes need to feel these sentiments too. I too wasted my time playing the ‘psp’ there and take a walk to my house before dark.

Well, it was just one of the boring days of my life.
