WOW PHILIPPINES!

i uber love Philippines. I am born Filipino.

And definitely PROUD to be PINOY!

Philippines has 7,107 islands with numerous enthrallings spots to be explored. So many beautiful places to visit. So many people to meet. So many things to do. Tourists and locals will never run out of options. I do have this ultimate dream of travelling all over the country. By all means, i will do that. Soon. But for now, I would like to show you some pictures of the places i have been to so far. Trust me, going to these places will surely prove that Philippines is truly the "Pearl of the Orient Seas".

Tara! Byahe Tayo!

hope you all enjoyed our short trip to the Philippines. Some places were not posted due to unlocated photos though.

Here's a list of my TOP 5 fave destinations

(click on the place to go to the link)

1. SIARGAO. the surfing capital of the Philippines. quite far but trust me, the long hours of travel is definitely worth it.

2. VIGAN. the heritage city. ancestral houses. old churches. Chavit Singson's Baluarte. no reason to get bored.

3. PAGUDPUD. i actually haven't stayed in the place for hours. we just dropped by blue lagoon to check it. but i should say the beach is cool. fine white sand and clear water.

4. PLANTATION BAY. superb. great food. complete amenities. super nice place. i soooo can stay in this place for months. lol.

5. DAVAO. there's no place like home. i would not be a loyal Dabawenya if i'll ditch my city off the list. lol. safe place plus smoke-free, thanks to the Dutertes. nice beaches. good food. value for money. pearl farm. kadayawan festival. name it, we have it. except for the party til morning thingy. blame it on the liquor ban. lol.

ZIPPED

i am zipping my mouth.

i am disappointed.

i just realized i have said too much.

my story, my own business.

but everybody's updated.

my fault. blame accepted.

i can't please everybody, that's a fact.

don't want to make any further damage.

i'm finally shutting my mouth.

only God knows 'til when.

wish me luck on this!

Love this Pain

it's just an on again and off again situation It's a striking match a tank of gas combination But here i am again lighting it up knowing that he'll just burn me It's like i love this pain a little too much Love my heart all busted up Something bout him we just dont work but i can't walk away It's like i love this pain It's like i love this life when nothing's right yeah something's wrong It's like i'm just not me if i can't be a sad, sad song

RICAFI: Rainbow Intervention Center for Autism

I can't possibly go on outreach programs like Angelina Jolie. How i wish i can. I can't possibly go to places and help others with the limited resources i have. I don't have the money, i don't have the means. My willingness is not enough and that's a fact. It has been my life-long dream to somewhat touch other people's lives and make even a little change in this big world. And now, i think my little act of letting other people know about how they can help others can be a good start.

RICAFI. Rainbow Intervention Center for Autism Foundation, Inc.

132 Fatima St. Jacinto, Davao City

As the name implies, RICAFI is a place for special children. The school aims to give hope to children with autism and to their parents, hence, the name RAINBOW. It is owned and operated by parents with autistic children and offers individualized programs.

VISION: Children with autism are able to achieve a level of independence and self-reliance so they can become productive and socially accepted members of the society and community.

MISSION: Appropriate and affordable education and behavioral programs and services for children with autism and their families in Davao City.

Spending time with these kids is definitely a life-changing experience for me. I realized how noble and fulfilling a teacher's life is. I actually envy RICAFI's teachers who display lots of patience and pure motherly-love towards these special kids just to enable them to achieve their full potential. I salute all those parents who have not given up on loving, caring and supporting their kids. I know it is not easy and it takes a lot of courage to go on and be with their kids in this life-long journey. Every day is a new challenge. Every single day gives hope. And there's no reason to ever give up.

We can all help these special kids in our own little ways. These children need our support. Feel free contact the school for inquiries at TEL. NO.: (082) 305-4265 ; (63)9193274952.

FOOD, CHOCOs and DRINKS

Everything came as a surprise.. Everything happened in an instant.. NO EXPLANATIONS.

PIZZA HUT. SM. carbonara. vege salad. pizza. iced tea. some good friends. YUM!

went out to watch IRON MAN 2.. went home to get some things.. went out again for some drinks with a couple of friends.. didn't go for strong ice but had 3 bottles of GPS instead.. sometimes, it's good to be drunk and forget about a lot of things when you wake up.. ;-)

NEED YOU NOW

May 4, 2010.. Tuesday

My song for the day: NEED YOU NOW by Lady Antebellum (hope you can listen to this)

Reachin' for the phone cause i can't fight it anymore And i wonder if i ever cross your mind For me it happens all the time It's a quarter after one, and i'm all alone and i need you now Said i wouldn't call but i lost all control and i need you now And i don't know how i can do without I just need you now

Still no nothing. Still hoping but i'm not forcing anything. Come what may.

Had my first day of exposure at RAINBOW INTERVENTION CENTER for AUTISM today. I just realized how noble a teacher's job is. Especially those teaching special kiddos. So hard but so fulfilling. Now i'm thinking of my other childhood dream of being a pre-school teacher. lol. i just so love kids, everybody can attest to that. how does it really feel to be called Teach Ceangy ?oh crap! am i thinking of a SECOND carreer change? LOL!

Passed by the mall with icholle before going to Adith's house. I got really amazed with all the exhibited collections from XMEN to GUNDAM to PLANES to just whatever.

I just can't get enough of wolverine. LOGAN! oh LOGAN! i just so love him!

i sooo miss the ORIGINAL XMEN... those were the days... how many years have passed actually? damn! i'm really getting older....

got pretty amazed with these little babies too.. aren't they lovely?

I really need another cam now.. it's not that i'm setting aside my dear old cam.. oh no NEVER! my dear old digi had been my constant companion ever since.. an addition wouldn't hurt ayt?.. i really really pray i could have my own DSLR this year. hoping and praying.. *birthday wish.wink*

AGAIN! yes AGAIN!

MAY 02, 2010.. SUNDAY

Let's do it one more time.. Let's have a crabby buffet again.. i'm still alive but i'm barely breathing, so why not give in to this worldly pleasure?... LOL

****BREAKEVEN by THE SCRIPT****

headed to GLAMOUR with icholle again but this time it wasn't for free..any other sponsors there?..lol

ate a lot really.. had pusit( one of my faves), fried chicken wings, beef steak, rice, soup, cheese sticks, mango float, leche flan and LOTS of CRABS... we sat near the buffet table so it was much easier for us to get whatever food we want..

can you eat this much crabbies????? if yes, then let's go get CRABBY again for the Nth time.. LOL...

can i have some additional requests for my birthday too?

• some grilled pusit,
• stuffed pusit (pusit with ground pork and green peas ) just like what my papa used to cook for me way back in high school..yum..yum... miss my mama & papa so much na
• more prawns. super big ones.
• lobsters
• sinugbang panga

too much requests right?lol. but when can i possibly have my great seafood birthday party which i definitely included on my wishlist???

CALLING all SPONSORS *wink*

i'm the woman who can't be moved

i know it makes no sense but what else can i do

how can i move on when i'm still in love with you

'cause if one day you'll wake up and find that you're missing me

and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth i could be

thinking maybe you'll come back to the place that we'd meet

and you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

so i'm not moving, i'm not moving
