Happy Hearts Day! When most of us
does our BF/GF duties and went to Valentines dates we planned on going
somewhere else. This is trip is about 4 or 5 years in the making (lol).
February 14 is the day we went to Mt. Pinatubo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You probably know Mt. Pinatubo
right? The provinces of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga share Mt. Pinatubo. This
volcano erupted last 1991 and the effect of the eruption almost felt worldwide.
The ashes that came from the volcano almost covered the whole world. As I
remembered it, we have to close our doors and windows so that the ashes won’t
go inside our house.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Enough with the history, here is
a guide on how we planned our trip. First you have to contact the Sta. Juliana
Tourism Office for reservation of the 4x4 ride. Do the reservation 2 weeks
prior to your travel dates just to be sure. For less hassle you may contact <a href="https://www.facebook.com/travelmakerph" target="_blank">TravelMakerPH</a> (owned by a friend of mine, he arranged it for us) to help you with your Mt. Pinatubo trip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On the day itself we started our
trip at around 2AM coming from Pasig. Then we have a stopover in Mcdonald’s
Capas Tarlac, this is the common drop-off point before going to Sta. Juliana
where you will be riding the 4x4 to Mt. Pinatubo.<o:p></o:p></div>

You should be at Sta. Juliana by
5AM for the registration and other payments. After you are finished on the
registration you will now be given a guide and they will guide you to your 4x4
ride and from the drop-off point to the crater. It is preferred to have 4 guests per 4x4 but they can extend up to 5
guests.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
From Sta. Juilana, it is a one and
a half hour bumpy ride to the foot of Mt. Pinatubo. From drop-off, it took us
two and a half hour to reach the crater. Remember to have a pee break before
starting the ride because the next comfort room is 5km from the drop-off point.
It took us two hours to reach it.<br />

The trail to the crater is full
of rocks and sand, there are small rivers that you will pass through. I suggest you wear
you sandals for the trek. You won’t be

Once on top, you will the crater
itself, there are food and drinks vendors but it is not cheap (considering they
have to carry the goods from Sta. Juliana to the crater). There are kubos where
you can rest. You can have your picture taking there, and if you want to be
near the lake, you have to descend from that point to the lake. It is now prohibited
to swim or boat in the lake.<br />

The burger house is an open resto that is just beside the road. Their grilling post is open probably to see, feel and smell the aroma of the burgers being grilled. They have a separate kitchen inside for deep fry and toasting inside.</div>

Zoey's gives you a good price for a decent burger not just by any fast food on the vicinity. Though I could not say that this is the best burger I have tasted but their burgers are way better compared to those in fast food restos around and as to my surprise it is affordable too.</div>

Their burgers are served with their home made fries and a glass of iced tea. They are boasting a 100% imported beef patty. So we ordered to different burgers and I was not disappointed with the taste and with the size of the burgers, even the fries tastes good. The burger is handed to you on a wooden plank and before your order arrives utensils will be given to you. Condiments are complete from ketchup to mustard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe next time I visit I will try their other menu like pasta. I give Zoey's a 4 out of five considering their price and their neat burger patty.</div>

If you are looking for a butt-aching travel, this one is for (just kidding). Well literally my butt ache because of the time we spent going to Buscalan. This was the longest travel time I had. It's a whopping 20 hours travel! So you better get ready for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main reason why we want to get to Buscalan Village was to meet Whang-Od (Fhang-Od to some), the oldest <i>Mambabatok</i> (a tattoo artist that uses traditional tools). Some say she is the last <i>Mambabatok </i>but I guess that is not the case. According to our guide Francis Pa-in, there are several <i>Mambabatok </i>in town as well as her granddaughter, Grace, is also a <i>Mambabatok</i>.<br />

We checked some sites on how to go to Buscalan. We did it the conventional way, by land travel. To go there you need to ride a bus to Tabuk. Victory Liner has a bus route to Tabuk but be sure to reserve you ticket 1 week before you go as there are just limited number of buses that go there. We experienced people sitting/sleeping in the aisle because there is not enough seats. Also be there 20 minutes before departure, They have a policy that is you are not there on that time they will give the seats to the chance passenger even if you have reserve tickets for your trip. Earliest trip is 7PM and it took us 12 hours to reach Tabuk. Drop off at Bulanao the first stop in Tabuk in front of Saint Williams Parish.Go straight and after you have passed by the Police station you will see a public terminal. Look for a jeep going to Tinglayan. Jeepneys going to Tinglayan is limited so be sure you are on time. Their first trip is I believe 7AM. We rode the jeep at around 8AM, It took us 2 and a half hours to reach Sleeping Beauty Inn at Tinglayan where we met Francis. From Tinglayan be rode a jeep to Buscalan Village, roughly more than an hour jeepney ride. Then you need to walk/trek to the Village itself. It took us an hour and a half to reach the village. As an alternate route, you may book a plane ticket to Tuguegarao and ride a van (1 hour travel) going to Tabuk. This will save you a lot of time.<br />

We met our guide, Francis, at Sleeping Beauty Inn where we had our lunch. He already arranged our lodging in Buscalan. We will have an overnight stay at Whang-Od's house (we believe that the house/room is Grace's room since she has a lot of stuff there). Upon arriving at the village we were welcomed by the locals and some kids asking for candies. Perhaps most of the people there have sweet tooth and I believe it is obligatory to bring a pack of candies with you.We stopped at small house where there are a lot of banners of Whang-Od, I think that is where the mother of Grace lives. They offered us the famous Kalinga coffee which I regret that I didn't buy one going home.<br />

Our homestay is at the place where Whang-Od and Grace does their tattoo work. When we got there, a lot of people were in line to get their tattoo. We did not get a chance to get ours at that time because of the long queue, we decided to get tattooed in the morning. Fancis told us that next time we want to go back, visit them during weekdays so that there are few tourists around. We just relaxed and watch others get their tattoos. The comfort room is located at the first house we visited and on that house also we had our dinner and breakfast. We had our dinner at around 7PM, we opted to buy canned goods so not to bother them cooking for us. They still offered us their meal, which is a combination of red beans and noodles and steamed rice.<br />

In the morning, after we ate our breakfast and drink our coffee, we proceeded to the tattoo workshop. Whang-Od is traditional, the tattoos she can do are those in there tribe (like snake, scorpion, crab, etc,) while Gace is a bit flexible, you may draw the tattoo you want and show it to her if she can do it or not. I chose a centipede tattoo because for them it symbolizes protection from travel. They harvest thorns from pomelo tree. They replace the thorns for each persons, though sometimes you have to remind them of replacing it. Frequently asked question was if it hurts, naturally it will hurt but is bearable. I think the technique is not to look at it while they are doing it, lol. After it is done, they will spread coconut oil on the tattoo. They prefer that instead of using some ointments. The tattoo price ranges from 100 pesos to thousands. Whang-Od is the one who gives the price value according to the size of the tattoo, mine was for one thousand pesos since it is a long one. After we had our tattoo, we packed our things and ready to go. Unfortunately, we were not able to explore the whole village because of limited time. I hope next time we visit we can roam around the village more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Going home should be smooth sailing but it is not on our case. the Last jeep that will leave Buscalan is at 11AM and we finished our tattoo at around 2PM. Fortunately, there was a jeep but was not for hire so we rented the jeep going to Tabuk. We arrived at around 6PM at Tabuk and the last bus already left. The last bus from Tabuk going to Manila leaves at 5PM. We tried looking for alternative routes but there are no other buses in Tabuk, our option is to go to Roxas or Tuguegarao which is an hour drive from Tabuk. Upon contacting our friend from Tugue he said that it is dangerous to leave Tabuk after 6PM so he advised us to stay in tabuk and ride early to Tuguegarao and back to Manila. The owner of the food house where we ate offered their house for us to sleep because it will be a pricey if we will check in on a hotel. We grabbed the offer and stayed there. As early as 5AM we looked for a van going to Tugue and from Tugue we rode a bus to Manila.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lesson of the story is if you will be going there be sure to leave early and have a back-up plan just in case.</div>

It's summer time! After going to some beaches on the North, it's time for me to explore the South. After tons of research we come up and decided to go to the Bicol region. Calaguas, a group of islands found in Camarines Norte was our destination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a lot of packages that are being offered for the Calaguas tour. These packages includes an overnight stay in Mahabang Buhangin beach and then going to Bagasbas beach on the next day. Packages ranges from 2.5k - 3.5k depends if you will shoulder your own transportation or not. We preferred to do it on our own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To go to Mahabang Buhangin you need to go to either Paracale or Vinzons in Camarines Norte then ride a boat to Calaguas Island. We decided to take the Paracale route since it is nearer to Calaguas than Vinzons. To go there, you can ride a bus going to Daet or some say that there is a bus that goes directly to Paracale. You have two options in going to Paracale, you may go directly to Daet and wait for buses or FX going to Paracale or you may drop off at Talobatib Junction and ride a tricycle. For us, we hired a van going to Paracale.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we went to Paracale I have already contacted a person that offers boat rides to Calaguas. If you are familiar with Kuya Ernie then he is your man. Upon contacting him I found out that he already got a job in the Middle East and the boat rides are now being managed by Ate Baby (his sister-in-law).</div>

We are now bound to Paracale and that time there was a Tropical Depression in the region. And upon arriving Ate Baby told me that the coast guard does not allow any boats to sail due to bad weather. She told me that she will contact me once the coast guard allows the sailing of the boats. It is fortunate for us that we hired a van and was flexible on going anywhere at that moment. We decided to go to Bagasbas instead, It is still raining when we got to Bagasbas.</div>

Bagasbas beach is a known surfing spot due to its waves. Since it seems that the weather won't be cooperative that day we opted to rent an overnight stay. There are several inns in the vicinity, we looked for a transient house but there was none. We then stay at White Wave hotel. They offered us there <i>Kubo </i>that is good for two persons with fan. We got the <i>Kubo</i> because we just need a place to stay and to cook since we have our own food to cook. In the afternoon the rain has stopped and we went to the beach. The beach is comparable to that of in Baler. Black sand and wide shore. They then decided to go surfing.</div>

During dinner, Ate baby contacted me and said that the coast guard will allow the sailing of the boat the next day starting at 5am. We then get our things ready for an early trip to Paracale. We found out that the boats from Vinzons (where normally the drop off point for those who have tour packges) were allowed to sail yesterday afternoon. It is fine by us that we did not take chances because we know that it will be a heart stopping ride to the island. The boat that we rode is a simple motor bangka unlike the luxurious motor bangka of those tour operators. It took us nearly two hours to reach Mahabang Buhangin beach where we saw several tents and people on the shore.</div>

The beach is unlike any others I have gone to. Clear waters, fine white sand, and less people. We then set our tents (though we will not have an overnight stay). We paid an entrance fee and the care taker said that since we will just have a day tour the cottage is for free and also we have unlimited water from their <i>poso</i>. There are CRs and sari-sari stores in the island (better to have your own food and drinks as the price is doubled). It is a beautiful day, the sun is high and the water is calm. Perfect for the summer. Around 3pm we then got back to boat and go back to Paracle. There was some hiccups during our return. The waves are bigger and the motor of the boat was not functioning properly but we still made it to the port. Ate Baby said we can take a bath on their bathroom since we got wet during the boat ride. After freshening up, we then got back to the van and went home.</div>

I have been back and forth to Baler several times with different set of friends. This time let me share to you my experiences in the town called Baler.<span id="goog_1224856091"></span><br />
It will take 6-7 hours travel from Manila and you can either use your car or ride a bus. There is only one bus liner that goes directly from Manila to Baler. Genesis bus can be found in cubao and it has direct route to Baler. There are no reservations here so better go to the bus station early. They only have night schedules from 11PM-1AM other than that you can take any bus going to Cabanatuan and then another bus to Baler.<br />

Baler is known because of Sabang Beach which is a surfing spot that others want to visit. Other than that Baler is the provincial capital of Aurora which is rich in history. This is where President Manuel Luis Quezon is born. Still in the town is their house. You may want to visit the Museo de Baler once in the town and go look for Donya Aurora's house.<br />
Once finish on touring the town, you may want to eat on the famous eat-all-you-can buffet restaurant, Gerry Shan's place. There are a lot of food choices from pork to sea foods. Unlimited iced tea is included in your meal together with some fresh fruits.<br />
If you do not have yet a place to stay, yo don't have to worry. Inside the town there are a lot of hotels and transient houses that you can rent. If you want to rent beach front they have several lodge and hotels that you can rent, but I suggest to contact them before you go because during peak season most of those rooms near the beach will be occupied. I can recommend you <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pacificwaves.baler" target="_blank">Pacific Waves Inn</a> they offer affordable and comfortable rooms good for family, couple or even team outings.<br />

Once settled in your hotel, have a view of Sabang beach. It is a stretch of fine black sand beach with unlimited waves. Waves vary in the season, during June to October the waves will normally be higher because the wind will be coming from the Pacific Ocean. For dinner, there are a lot of restaurant in the beach front, though it will be a little pricey. Try looking for affordable meals at the back of the hotels. There is a newly established grill restaurant that offers variety of menu that is affordable.<br />
For breakfast there is a carinderia that we also so for silog meals. it is located at the back of Surfer Girls Lodge. Meals there are 50 pesos and up.<br />

Try surfing in the morning or until you get tired (lol). Then after surfing, go to Ditumabo Falls. It is the mother falls in Baler. They also get hydro power from the falls as a source of electricity. When going to Ditumabo you can use your van only up to a certain area because the road will be full of rocks and only tricycle, trucks and 4x4 vehicles can go on to the drop of point.<br />

</tbody></table>
Before going home, visit Ermita hill to see the nice view of Sabang beach and the other beaches in Baler.<br />
<br />
What to bring:<br />
- swim wear<br />
- sunblock<br />
- mosquito repellent<br />
- trekking sandals<br />
- drybag<br />
Where to eat:<br />
- several eat-all-you-can buffet style restaurant in town (200-250 pesos)<br />
- beach front restaurants (200-250 pesos per meal)<br />
- carinderias besides Museo de Baler (50 - 100 pesos per meal)<br />

If you're travelling without a tour guide, use your smart phone and Google maps, it is very easy to locate the tourist spots as long as you know how to navigate.<br />
There has been a big change in Baler since the first time I went there. The building of a luxurious hotel and the pathway that narrows the beach. I believe it is good for the community but still not too much or it will ruin the spot.chrokyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04357158939401955269noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133782822110932675.post-62028405231823344372015-03-25T09:30:00.000+08:002015-03-25T11:26:39.543+08:00Travel: Sagada<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I think of Sagada the first thing that comes into my mind is the 12 hours travel time and then the hanging coffins. Well I was not disappointed (lol). This time we have the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/travelmakerph" target="_blank">Travelmaker</a> tours that helped us with our itinerary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going to Sagada we rode a van from our office in Ortigas and we left at around 11PM. We took the Banaue-Sagada road. The reason why we took that road is to have a glimpse of the Banaue Rice Terraces. Unfortunately due to bad weather we were not able to see it and the we head towards Sagada. The road was a never ending zig and zag, so better have some sleep before you go up or might be banging your heads inside the van.</div>

After the endless zigzag we reached our destination and head to our logding <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Misty-Lodge-and-Cafe/333764409989031" target="_blank">Misty Lodge</a>. It is located 5 minutes before the town. It is a small house made with Pine trees (I guess) and has several rooms in it. They also have a cafe that serves meals. The place is serene and they ask their guest not to make loud noise so not to disturb the other guest. By the way, lights out in the veranda at 10PM.</div>

Our original IT is to do caving after we have settled down but due to weather conditions we opted to cancel it and just have a town tour instead. It is a small town with narrow roads for vans and trucks. We went to Sagada Municipal Hall near the Police Station to book our tours for the next days. I believe it is compulsory to have a tour guide, well think of it as your help to their community. People here are native Igorots but don't expect them to be wearing <i>bahag</i> and their language is <i>Kankana-ey</i> similar to Ilocano language. I believe they are more fluent in English than in Tagalog. Then going further down we saw several restaurants including the famous Sagada Lemon Pie House and Yoghurt House where we have our dinner.</div>

The next day we got ready for our tour. The weather is still cloudy with chance of rain so if you will be bringing things be sure you have a drybag and extra clothes and towel in it. Our first destination is the Bomod-ok Falls (the mother falls in Sagada). We drove until the Saint Mathew's Episcopal Church welcome banner and we met our tour guides. The terrain to the falls is already cemented so do not expect rough roads here (warning it may look like easy but it is not! well for most of us, lol). Going to the falls you will welcomed by several Terraces where they plant their crops and when your half way you will pass by a barangay where you will find several natives. You will also cross the Terraces to the falls. Once you reach the falls you may want to swim to ease your tiring body but be ready for the ice cold water.</div>

After going to the falls we headed back to our van and went to see the hanging coffins. The way to hanging coffins is just at the back of the Saint Mary the Virgin church in the town proper. You will pass by the cemetery and down to the cliff. This was not an easy terrain cause it is not cemented as to the way to Bomod-ok and since it is drizzling the terrain is muddy and slippery, one wrong step and you will see yourself at the bottom of the cliff. Our tour guide told us that those people in the hanging coffins are the eldest people in Sagada and as of today no one was allowed to do the same burial anymore. As for the preservation of the bodies they said that they place oil in their bodies not to rot (like the mummies) and the area has to be closed for some time for health purposes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that we went to Lake Danum, Do not expect too much as it is just a lake, nothing else. Maybe it is more beautiful if we have good weather back then. We headed back to our Lodge after the tour and sleep early for our next destination.</div>

Just after the sun rise we went down and do some caving. We went first to Lumiang Cave where you will also find coffiins on the walls of the cave, I think this is older that those in Echo Valley Hanging Coffins. Our guide said that we can that there are two trails for the caving, one is a 4-hour trail and the other is 2-hour. For the 4-hour trail you will go inside the Lumiang Cave and go out in Sumaguing Cave. The other one is just a round trip inside the Sumaguing Cave. Since we are all newbies on this activity we opted the 2-hour trail. Inside the cave get ready to be wet and a bit dirty. The guide prefer you to use slippers than sandals (I guess because it is slippery because of the lime stones). Be ready to flex your body and go up and down inside the cave.</div>

First of, GOOOOOD MOOOOORNING BATANES!!! That is my everyday mood when I was there, because it will always be a good morning when you are in Batanes. It is said that the islands of Batanes was created because of seismic movements in the sea that raises land from water, that is why most of the coast line are cliffs. First people in Batanes were Austronesians and they first set foot on a cave in Itbayat island from somewhere in Taiwan through boats.People in Batanes are called Ivatan and so as their languange. There are three islands that are inhabitant in the Batanes Group of Islands namely Batan (the center of commerce, where the Basco airport is located), Sabtang (south of Batan) and Itbayat (north of Batan). Batanes is known for its natural beauty, all you can see are natural landscapes that are created through time. Wind is both a gift and a curse on these islands. The wind brings cool breeze on a sunny day but also creates big waves in their seas and the reason why only large ships are capable of reaching Batanes from the island of Luzon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can reach Batanes through plane (Manila - Basco and Tuguegarao - Basco) or through ships (but ships that reaches the Basco are not paseenger ships, they just bring cargo shipments to the island and they came all the way from Pangasinan).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Batanes was my dream vacation and so I am really eager to go there. It is quite pricey to go there, normal price for a roundtrip ticket is Php16,000 and only two airlines have flights to Basco (Skyjet and PAL). So when we got the opportunity to buy a promo ticket, we bought it with no hesitation. We set meetings and discussed when, where and what are the things we will expect and do there (LOL). We agreed to stay there for 5 days, so we will not be in a hurry and to enjoy our vacation. We depart from Terminal 4 at around 7AM and arrived in Basco passed 8AM. By the way, flights in and out in Batanes are only in the morning, and usually MWF only with one flight for each airline. Below is my journal for each day we stayed in that awesome place.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>February 26 (Day 1)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">0600 depart from Manila terminal 4 airport</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">0730 arrived in Basco Batanes, weather: cloudy with small amount of rain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">0800 arrived at Crisan homestay (walking distance from the airport)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">0830 breakfast on a local carinderia near the homestay, there is a meatshop outside (Chilis is I think the name)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">0900 rent a bike to north of Batan, went to Vayang rolling hills, Valugan boulder beach and Basco lighthouse, weather: sunny</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Note: 20 per hour is the rent for a bike, biking will take a lot of effort since you will be climbing up the hills, be sure that your bike has working breaks as you will need it when you go downhill</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1400 ate at the SDC canteen near the church</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1430 arrived back at the homestay</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1700 rode a tricycle and went back to the lighthouse to watch the sunset</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1830 ate dinner at the same carinderia</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1900 went back to the lodge to rest</span><br />

After a long hiatus here I am again and this time I will share to you my experience from a sport event. I am a sporty person (di lang halata) and I do play volleyball just for fun. I sometimes dreamed of being a varsity of our high school before but did not take risk, studies first (LOL). Some of my friends in the office are somewhat die hard volleyball fanatics, they know almost all the players and their strengths. They always talk about things that happened and about to happen on some volleyball leagues. Amazed by their stories I became curious on what really is there on these leagues. Several times they tried to ask me to join them watch the games but due to schedule I was not able to attend. This time since my schedule permits (sobrang busy lang?) I joined them watching <a href="http://www.v-league.ph/" target="_blank">Shakey's V-League</a> Season 10 Finals between <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cagayanvalleyladyrisingsuns" target="_blank">Cagayan Lady Rising Suns</a> and Smart-Maynilad. </div>

We arrived at the <a href="http://www.metromaniladirections.com/2010/05/how-to-get-to-arena-in-san-juan-filoil.html" target="_blank">San Juan Arena</a> before the championship starts so we got a glimpse of the battle-for-third game between Army and Air Force. Army won the game and I saw the ever famous Rachelle Ann Daquis, perhaps she was not just famous because of her beauty but she is really good inside the court. After the game starts the championship game. </div>

I was amazed by the people inside the San Juan Arena supporting their teams, I think I never imagined that a volleyball game have that much of attention. Smart-Maynilad supporters wearing blue and Cagayan supporters wearing white. Cheers from everywhere, each team throws shirts for their supporters, lucky enough one of my friends got one. </div>

On the other end Din Din Santiago is a tower herself (nangingibabaw) a toss for her and if she hits it right, she will on be on top of her blockers but ready to receive it is the very reliable libero of Cagayan, Jheck Dionela (one of my favorites). </div>

Another favorite player of mine is the captain of the Cagayan team Angeli Tabaquero she may not be the star of the game but I can feel her presence leading the team and overpowering the enemy. </div>

Both teams battling each set with the best that they can. First set was for Cagayan, second was for Smart-Maynilad, third was for Cagayan again, fourth was for Smart-Maynilad once more. </div>

You can see the intensity of the games and seems that no one really wants to give up. Then the final set, roaring from every corner of the arena were the fans cheering for their teams. Toss from Phomla to set Angeli converting to a point. Din Din did some hits but was unable to connect since Jheck was always there to receive it. It was really an incredible experience I am on top of my lungs shouting and cheering for every point made. Funny thing is that one point to being champion, the Cagayan team players started rejoicing and they approached the score, they all thought that it was finished but the team needs to score one more point (medyo sabaw, hehehe. excited much). </div>

I think what the Cagayan team has is the basic of a group working together which is team work. The other team might have really good players but it won't matter if there is no oneness of the team. Congratulations to the Cagayan Lady Rising Suns! (saying di ako nakapagpapic sa mga fave players ko, hehehe,). I was not able to get a picture of their celebration, tsk. (naubusan ng batt ang digicam ko, grrr...)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back balakubak! I'm here once again to give you a glimpse of my recent trip, this time to the far North. My officemate planned a trip to be a part of the Surf and Music festival that will take place in Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte. A bit of information, the name Pagudpod is a type of grass commonly found on the said place and it was formerly a part of Bangui. So let's go back to the Surf and Music Festival, it was supposed to be in Pagudpod but due to some challenges (as they say) it was moved to San Juan, La Union but since most of us have not yet experience Pagudpod we pushed through our plan with a little twist. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To get there you can ride a plane towards Laoag (45mins) and then a small bus or tricycle to Pagudpod (1 hour) but a little pricey if haven't got a promo fare. You can also ride a bus from Manila to Pagudpod (11 hours) and costs Php650. Since we are on a tight budget we tried the bus transporation and reserved tickets from Florida bus station in Cubao since that is a holiday and many commuters will go out of town. By the way you may ride a bus towards Junction and not the Pagudpod signage because it will only go as far as to the city itself and you still need to ride a tricycle but when you ride the Junction bus it will pass through the beaches itself, for further information you may ask bus station staff.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We left 5:30pm in Cubao and reached our home stay in Blue Lagoon beach about 4:30am. We just slept for about two hours and then we go to the beach that the Surf and Music Festival should take place. We thought that it will just be a long walk but it turns out to be a very very very long walk as we have to pass throught hills to go to the place (we realized that we should have ride a tricycle).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a day of tiring walks and traveling we go back to our home stay and got ready for our Ilocos tour. We rented a van and a guide to tour us on the spots there in Ilocos Norte. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So first we visited the Saud beach which is found before the Blue Lagoon beach from there the popular windmills can be viewed. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So after the picture taking in Saud we went now to Bangui to have a clear and close view of the windmills of Ilocos Norte. It is a very fascinating sight because it is my first time to see a real windmill. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After Bangui we went to Burgos where the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is found. They said that before you can go to the rock formation itslef but because of some people vandalizing the rocks the citizens decided to prohibit tourist going to the rock formation but instead they built a view deck to the the sight. </div>

Our last stop is the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse also in Burgos, it is one of the oldest lighthouse here in the Philippines and it is still working, though people are now prohibited on going inside the lighthouse because of security and safety reasons.</div>

After the tour we went to Laoag to take a bus to La Union, this is the twist of our vacation. We really want to attend the festival so we pushed to go to San Juan, La Union. We rode a bus that will pass through San Juan but was a bit tiring because it was already 10pm when we got there and we have no accomodation so we still need to find one. Since there was a festival all accomodation near the beach or even the rooms are all occupied we ended up going to San Fernando a 10mins jeepney travel and rented a room at a hotel. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After unpacking we went back to San Juan to have a glimpse of the festival though it's already 11pm, we just bought some boose while listening to the concert and went to the hotel after the concert. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About 8am we went back to the beach and some of us went surfing. This is also my first time visiting San Juan, La Union and it is a pretty neat place for surfing though I couldn't compare Baler to this place. We went back to Manila around 4pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall it might be a tiring journey but all is worthit all of the places I have visited there is really fascinating, from the windmills to the rock formation to the lighthouse. It is ok that from time to time we go to an adventure to find more beautiful places.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Welcome me back! I am alive and kicking! hehehe. This is my first post and first vacation this year (I hope there will be more... :) ). So here I am again giving you what I experienced, saw, and encountered on my trip to the very astonishing Coron island in Palawan. You will see why we should not have mining in that place.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0vtGI0JZjZJFUslivFXpDPd4rQOrJhgD2JoBdOVbuGSiQIBHLHUN9SCOufshcdoDTw_QKX_cuj8qVEOI706ac2Hh5TINujMya0LA5UqvWvZ6N-7Z171KF1MqFrbS7Msm3RbBExE2ipI/s1600/map_calamianes.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0vtGI0JZjZJFUslivFXpDPd4rQOrJhgD2JoBdOVbuGSiQIBHLHUN9SCOufshcdoDTw_QKX_cuj8qVEOI706ac2Hh5TINujMya0LA5UqvWvZ6N-7Z171KF1MqFrbS7Msm3RbBExE2ipI/s1600/map_calamianes.gif" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just a "Did you know fact": Coron Island was previously owned by the Marcos' and after their fall it was brought back to the government. Also, while the Marcos' owned it they brought some wild life animals there, like zebras and giraffes, and cows from Australia to be breed. The grass that the cows eat are not ordinary grass they are imported also from Australia and planted there. While the other animals on another island called Calauit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
First of is how to get there:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To get to Coron you need to ride a plane. (though some local folks said that you can ride <a href="http://www.superferry.com.ph/" target="_blank">Superferry</a> from Manila but this is very seldom because of the reefs and corals around the island. the ship sometimes is delayed by low tide forcing them to stay for while in the island.) We got our ticket from <a href="http://www.cebupacificair.com/" target="_blank">Cebu Pacific's</a> promo last year, this was my gift to my Lablab last Christmas. From NAIA Terminal 3 we rode the plane to Busuanga airport.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Where to stay:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I made a search on <a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google</a> for a possible Inn or Lodge to stay. There are several results but I picked 3 for me to decide. Since I have no idea on what to expect, I want a place to stay that is near the beach. I found <a href="http://www.divelink.com.ph/" target="_blank">Divelink Resort</a>, this is I think the only place that is near the beach but costs about 7.5k per person for 3D/2N stay with packaged tour included. Next is <a href="http://www.coronvillagelodge.com/" target="_blank">Coron Village Lodge</a> which is located in Coron town and some known personalities are staying here, it is also quite expensive about 7.2k per person (I think it is because we are just two). Then my next pick is Rudy's Place (which I will have to post some other time) the place is 3minutes away from the town proper and our package is 3.8k for the 3D/2N stay, van transfers, tours, and meals and because we will just sleep on the lodge and most probably during daytime we are touring I accepted this rate.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Day 1:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We headed to the airport 2 hours before our flight and ate our breakfast after our check-in, we were delayed for 2 hours because the plane needs to have additional servicing. Together with us are different races, from Asia, US, and Europe. After an hour flight we reached Busuanga Airport.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAuIz8YJr6VJ5WHgi3Haovropr_VcWFiV4NrK2tI2u_kwzUfpU8Ow9QE7IfwWSOhF-Uqcjg-I_h5pOOzk3ARvD-hmxsgTo8T08aLDL2JnXZq39hHWaDhRVKGrpKTPBlb4Vj_H44oDOG4/s1600/IMG_1969.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZAuIz8YJr6VJ5WHgi3Haovropr_VcWFiV4NrK2tI2u_kwzUfpU8Ow9QE7IfwWSOhF-Uqcjg-I_h5pOOzk3ARvD-hmxsgTo8T08aLDL2JnXZq39hHWaDhRVKGrpKTPBlb4Vj_H44oDOG4/s320/IMG_1969.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The terminal in Busuanga is just a small non-airconditioned place though it is quite windy but still it lacks ventilation, specially to those on the departure side, since they will be waiting to board their plane. Upon your arrival you will be given a (what I think is) survey form that you will fill-up and give them back to the person who handed you the form. Then since we have our reservation we were picked up by a van to our Lodge. It is a 30mins land travel to Coron town. After taking some reset, about 4pm we were picked up by our town tour guide (his name is Dong, which was suggested by my fellow office mate). We went to Mt. Tapyas which has 724 steps towrds the summit.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Day 2:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is an exciting day because all day is an island tour. After our breakfast we got ready to go to the port. It was a very windy morning though it is not cloudy and the sun is up.<br />

It was a little bumpy towards our destination since the wind is fairly strong and there a little waves but this will be replaced by the tranquil waters once you are near the rocky mountains.<br />

In there a lot of tourist are already swimming, it was a very calming place. Around you are the rocky mountains and trees. After we got tired of swimming we went to our next destination which is the Twin Peak.<br />

We went down the boat and get our snorkeling gears ready. There we saw how rich is there aquatic resources, from live and colorful fishes to corals of different colors and variant. While we were at the sea our island guides are preparing our food in the boat. They have a built-in grilling station! Then after our snorkeling we went to Banol Beach to have our lunch.<br />

Then we proceeded to the Twin Lagoon which is located inside a rock formation, while going there be ready to be fascinated once more by the nature that I saw only on National Geographic or other Knowledge channels. There are two ways to enter the lagoon when it is low tide you can just swim trough a hole in between the rock formations but if not you need to go over the rock formations to get there. Inside is like the Kanyangan lake but more tranquil and calming because all around you is just rocks and trees. The water here came from the see and is cold since there is only few sunlight that some across. After that we then got to our boat and headed to the port where our ride to the lodge is waiting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Day 3:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our final day in Coron. This day will be our town tour. Since it is just a little town we went ahead and bought some <i>pasalubong</i> to our friends and family.<br />

After that we went to the cashew factory and tasted some freshly cooked cashew nuts, for me they differ on the nuts bought from Antipolo or here in Manila, they are simply delicious! After that I remembered by mother told me to buy a <i>banig </i>and then we looked for that, it was costly!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Notes to remember:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If it is your first time to go there I will suggest to get a tour package and arrange your stay before hand.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ensure all the inclusions of your package bought.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mt. Tapyas is not for weak hearted! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Snorkeling gears are cheaper on the boat, it is only 100php than the hotel offers for 150php.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bring an underwater camera if possible, to catch underwater scenes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Normally you could not bring your camera in Twin Lagoon since you will be swimming to get there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Get ready to get wet even on you boat. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bring a water resistant bag is possible.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">PS:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we will be back again I want to go to the Safari! It is a 3-hour sea travel that leaves the port 4am to see the animals in the wild. :)</div>chrokyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04357158939401955269noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133782822110932675.post-29792669705126079892011-07-10T07:36:00.000+08:002011-07-10T07:36:27.228+08:00Movie Tips<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

First showing day - most of the time (on my college days) new movies has their first day of showing every Wednesday or Thursday. There must be a science behind this because most people will go to mall on weekends so why not do it a Saturday or Sunday right?!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8y9EWQsMMb589nv08xYAKrquZLNh7yeyj-YFtPQ7PBHpa3zRexdw2WRU5sVHMJGZphvS1y3JV5p99GNOfxXWeJI1ra1l2w1G9RkuEYuJZFhMLRDrGK3ilX5N_iyfUIqQEKHO1fPyE6IA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8y9EWQsMMb589nv08xYAKrquZLNh7yeyj-YFtPQ7PBHpa3zRexdw2WRU5sVHMJGZphvS1y3JV5p99GNOfxXWeJI1ra1l2w1G9RkuEYuJZFhMLRDrGK3ilX5N_iyfUIqQEKHO1fPyE6IA/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2. Check "Now Showing" - for those who just want an instant movie on their date or they just want to watch a movie, check the "Now Showing" list. These are the movies that are currently being shown on movie houses.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeH-ZUs1GOmHpSrLhFfxUlvLj8qbIy4jC9__JtZXoTPQRIcMaeK5U-MJndR7Og2W6lMndR1yCF-RMRxXeF-Rzs7LVYDbG8bD9gbF9BkVTKJPitHqvforZwjXEd4eC9LOKXDaGYG0g2y14/s1600/NextAttraction.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="53" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeH-ZUs1GOmHpSrLhFfxUlvLj8qbIy4jC9__JtZXoTPQRIcMaeK5U-MJndR7Og2W6lMndR1yCF-RMRxXeF-Rzs7LVYDbG8bD9gbF9BkVTKJPitHqvforZwjXEd4eC9LOKXDaGYG0g2y14/s320/NextAttraction.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3. Check "Next Attraction" - there are people who always plan ahead and wants there money well-spent. These are the movies that will be showed within 1-3 weeks after the "Now Showing" list. You will have ample time to check if the movie is a good movie or not, or if you want the first to know.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxI03pQWJP6sznKdFzG8t6osUXdWow7BUSNqlJTU5gYRna2KnhulUht0uf8RoYGuLclOJ-gf0cf3dUQyR6kQwZpEY0iwGnk-da_ZDPJEREGF-tv2WKeMNd5tE86lOClEBsAGg0KjK9GRQ/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxI03pQWJP6sznKdFzG8t6osUXdWow7BUSNqlJTU5gYRna2KnhulUht0uf8RoYGuLclOJ-gf0cf3dUQyR6kQwZpEY0iwGnk-da_ZDPJEREGF-tv2WKeMNd5tE86lOClEBsAGg0KjK9GRQ/s1600/4.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4. Check "Coming Soon" - these are the movies most commonly seen on trailers before a movie starts. This movies are for those movie fanatics that will eagerly wait for it until it is available for viewing.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihYycp_PJzMCp71JeQ_X82-SNi-g-M_eMAONUxq8LJzIYMtcZh_bQ2C8Wmmnf274OvMTJo4289oQ6Bex4UotuDjLwiY_7UthsJuFJ6lbU3jUMV68AknYEdS5oLw6-r7neb8KQkT_lFeqU/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihYycp_PJzMCp71JeQ_X82-SNi-g-M_eMAONUxq8LJzIYMtcZh_bQ2C8Wmmnf274OvMTJo4289oQ6Bex4UotuDjLwiY_7UthsJuFJ6lbU3jUMV68AknYEdS5oLw6-r7neb8KQkT_lFeqU/s1600/5.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">5. Background Check - as of now, you have a movie in mind and it is time to check for reviews. Reviews are made after a critic has seen the movie though there are some pre-reviews but are very few and sometimes not accurate or convincing. You may check a critic review or a common movie goer review, it is really up to you on who you want to trust, hehehe.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTuPr32RKmHHWj5Ax8Quv5yAAlqN1sZB7rIeN7tg-jwsWjwUmYfImeXUtZVR4dYcLtz6dYTkCd2b1eRfbVFjKk_vfH3n0qWgyIpFwgxD88lGGvC2MhXD9FxPOG58JWl417SRCUSEo9rE/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="170" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTuPr32RKmHHWj5Ax8Quv5yAAlqN1sZB7rIeN7tg-jwsWjwUmYfImeXUtZVR4dYcLtz6dYTkCd2b1eRfbVFjKk_vfH3n0qWgyIpFwgxD88lGGvC2MhXD9FxPOG58JWl417SRCUSEo9rE/s320/6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">6. Reservations - if the movie that you will be watching is the talk-of-the-town, you will surely need to do this specially if you want to watch it on its first week. You may want also to watch it during weekdays since there are only few people who go to malls or cinemas because of work. Reservations are made online or at the cinema/customer service of malls. When reserving online do not forget to print out a copy of the reciept since this will be your ticket and do not forget to bring it with you when you are about to watch the movie.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">7. Attire - there is no specific attire inside the cinemas, from sandos, shorts to shoes or slippers, it is really up to you but just remember, inside the movie house there will be little light to make heat so better be prepared and bring a jacket handy. You will not want on the middle of the movie you are already chilling or wants to pee, you definitely won't enjoy the movie.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIjOimAREzQkKLwXxIgoyw2vltHL_rhEW6Z3QSXlTFnWWGsFaVhDYnVTvAwkS00g7iXG52u1tJXa0kO2DohhH2s_SwG7KN1Qz2FYu37vYQi88CTpxHbayLsPtlw5aJqRC-TRwvurHb6Dw/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIjOimAREzQkKLwXxIgoyw2vltHL_rhEW6Z3QSXlTFnWWGsFaVhDYnVTvAwkS00g7iXG52u1tJXa0kO2DohhH2s_SwG7KN1Qz2FYu37vYQi88CTpxHbayLsPtlw5aJqRC-TRwvurHb6Dw/s320/8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">8. Food and Drinks - for most of the cinemas you can bring food or drinks from outside but there are some foods that are prohibited inside the cinemas like rice meals, soups, or any messy food that will probably dirt the cinema.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuX-jcu3Gnp5m1T0NhwmmMAJwCoMli1maxkwt296IV87Mml7deO0WjAgmbZRrSGDeO1i2UJCGITglUh9_7TMLfYru7GVAn48ehPOwMvgfHPgpk9zICj-6KoGZxLVgORVaNU4DID_a3YJ8/s1600/9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuX-jcu3Gnp5m1T0NhwmmMAJwCoMli1maxkwt296IV87Mml7deO0WjAgmbZRrSGDeO1i2UJCGITglUh9_7TMLfYru7GVAn48ehPOwMvgfHPgpk9zICj-6KoGZxLVgORVaNU4DID_a3YJ8/s320/9.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">9. Behavior - some people do not have the right behavior when watching a movie on a cinema. Turn off or put your phone in the silent mode. If there is an important call to take just tell the person to call you back after the movie or take the call outside the cinema so not to disturb those people watching. Observe silence, there are other people near you that will get irritated when you talk loudly. Don't put your feet at the back of the chair in front of you since it is really annoying. After the movie, if you can bring your trash with you and not just litter it on the ground to help on maintaining the cleanliness of the cinema just throw the garbage in trash bins. What you really need to remember is to respect others, since the movie house is also a public place and you are not the only one in it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Those are the main points when watching a movie to really have a great time. So plan your next movie now, who knows you might see me there. :)</span></div>chrokyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04357158939401955269noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133782822110932675.post-76401428709538405742011-05-21T07:17:00.001+08:002011-05-21T07:36:15.712+08:00Stackers Burgers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtf29RilE2jnBcQ1t9-arrvIvADnhI8vYYmV-d8FOig-DvHgCXQdKy3O6XnHmbxCp3g4Yr4CpvDzBU_d_1xspimDTBJvVLfOkSiNCIW89c_QMW0Kfsvy2NUUAdtJ2XBoT3AV9bYEWJAEw/s1600/227947_10150195643574106_565089105_6835464_1343401_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtf29RilE2jnBcQ1t9-arrvIvADnhI8vYYmV-d8FOig-DvHgCXQdKy3O6XnHmbxCp3g4Yr4CpvDzBU_d_1xspimDTBJvVLfOkSiNCIW89c_QMW0Kfsvy2NUUAdtJ2XBoT3AV9bYEWJAEw/s320/227947_10150195643574106_565089105_6835464_1343401_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Nagyaya si lab lab mag Eastwood after shift para magmall, gusto ko rin sanang bumili ng pants, mas ok kasi mamili sa eastwood mall kesa sa ibang mall, konti ang tao same price lan din naman, hehehe, tsaka mas magaganda ang sinesale nila kesa sa ibang mall. So go na kami after shift and after magwindow shopping (dahil nakurips na naman ang inyong lingkod) nagutom kami, so nagiisip kami ng makakain, maganda sa eastwood ay marami kang mapagpipilian na kainan, simula sa karinderia hanggang sa mga sossy na resto. Gusto ni lab lab sanang mag crepe pero gusto ko munang kumain ng heavy meal before dessert, naisip naming mag mcdo na lan pero nanaig ang urge kong mag burger, hehehe. Ang pagpipilian mo dun e ang Johnny Rockets or Stackers. Nung unang beses kong kumain sa Johnny Rockets hindi ko nagustuhan kaya gora kami sa Stackers.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Went to Lucban, Quezon province last May 15, 2011 for the annual Pahiyas Festival. </span><a href="http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Pahiyas_Festival"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Wikipedia</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> defines Pahiyas as <i>"The festival's name comes from the </i></span><a href="http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Filipino_language" title="Filipino language"><i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Filipino</span></i></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i> terms hiyas (jewel) and pahiyas (precious offering). "</i> it is a festival for giving thanks for their good harvest. They usually dress their home with all kinds of crops like, vegetables, fruits, etc. First time kong magpunta dito, dahil malapit sa opis ang Antipolo at sabi ni </span><a href="http://www.spiderham.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Spiderham</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> na mabilis daw ang byahe kung via Antipolo ang dadaanan namin route so dun nga kami dumaan. The road is all zigzag kaya medyo nakakahilo pero the scenery was great! Nakarting kami sa Lucban within 3 hours of travel. Then naglakad na lang kami papunta sa bayan mismo dahil sobrang trapik na. I won't describe kung anong mga nakita namin doon mas maganda kung tignan nu na lan ang mga pictures. Nagside trip kami sa Kamay ni Hesus, a church with a groto in a hill. Hindi ko na rin ieexplain kung anong nakita namin dun, just look at the pics, hehehe. Nung pauwi we use the Slex way but it took us i think 5 hours to return back to Pasig, I just do not know if the travel was too long or if we were just delayed by traffic. Below are the Pictures I have taken.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Found this article from <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/telecoms/merging-smart-sun-not-good-for-consumers/">Yugatech</a> that PLDT, telecom that owns Smart, Talk and Text, and Red Mobile now acquires majority of the shares os Digitel, which owns Sun Cellular, lessening the competition that should be Smart vs Sun vs Globe to PLDT vs Globe, whoa! that is one big leap for PLDT! Having the third largest mobile network will leave Globe less than 1/3 of the mobile market! I do not know what is behind this merging they (PLDT and Digitel) will benefit on this deal. For PLDT of course they will acquire most of the market in mobile network, not only that did you know that Sun has bigger growth than Globe in the end of 2009, so having that fact PLDT will double its growth. For Sun Cellular, they will benefit from the cell sites of Smart all over the Philippines giving them stronger and wider signal all over the archipelago.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As for my opinion, Sun Cellular need not to be merged to PLDT since they have they're own growth in the mobile network market, giving their customer affordable unlimited calls and texts. Also, you may seem to belittle Sun Cellular as a secondary option but did you think being a secondary does not have a benefit, you might be wrong. I have friends that uses Globe or Smart and their secondary phone is Sun, if you closely think of it and do the math, on the mobile network market, Globe and Smart will both have 25% while Sun will have a whooping 50% share on the market. (If you are thinking where did I got my calculation that is just how I analyze the situation). I am not a Sun Cellular subscriber but I think it's a lost for them.</span></div>chrokyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04357158939401955269noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133782822110932675.post-6778686685428787942011-03-27T16:46:00.000+08:002011-03-27T16:46:53.846+08:00Puerto Galera 2011 (way home)<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Well Seisha is a small coffee shop located in Antipolo, walking distance from Antipolo Church. They offer hot and cold coffee, iced or frappe and some snacks on the side. It may not be as popular as Starbucks or other coffee shops in the metro but I can proudly say that the taste of their frappe can be compared to them, although I have just tried White Mocha Frappe in their menu, hehehe. <br />

You will taste the flavor after you smoke, hindi rin nakakainis ung usok nya kagaya ng cigarette at hindi rin masama ang lasa at most of all walang nicotine, wakekekek. For health effects some say it is more toxic since you will be inhaling more smoke than normal cigarette some says its much lesser, I've search the net and even them are confused, see this link: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah#Health_effects">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah#Health_effects</a>. The experience was very fun, the coffee taste good and the place is nice and quite. Highly recommended!

It is the time of the year na naman, kung saan nagkakasama sama kaming magkakabarkada na mag summer outing sa Puerto Galera, Occidental Mindoro. Pero this time medu kakaiba, kung bakit eh bashin nu na lan, hehehe. Dahil kadarating lang nang aming mahal na kaibigan arabo nagpasya kami na mag Galera dahil "dapat" eh summer na. Nagkita kita kami ng bandang 530 ng umaga sa KFC sa may Gil Puyat station ng LRT, malapit na kc dun ung terminal ng bus papuntang Batangas Pier. So pagkatapos mag almusal dumerecho na kami sa bus station pero sa labas pa lang ay may naghihintay ng bus.<br />

Batangas ek ek yung pangalan ng bus, alam ko nga ang gamit nung bus na un ay biogas kasi napanuod ko un dati sa news. O well, bukod sa biogas ang gamit nila, malinis at komportable ang bus na un, para na ngang tourist bus eh. Php167 and pamasahe direcho papuntang Batangas Pier. Ang bilis lang ng byahe, 2 hours nandun na, gawa na kc ung Star Toll na drecho na nang Pier, so from SLEX drecho Star Toll na tapos Pier na, hehehe.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
Sa pier you need to go to the part na pang byaheng White Beach, kc baka pumunta kau dun sa gate na pang RORO at mapunta kau kung saan, hahaha. We went to get our ticket from Father and Sons Lines, eto kc ung lagi naming sinasakyan though may mga ibang bangka naman. The ticket is 250 one way and if round trip it is 450 pesos.<br />

</tbody></table>After paying the boat ticket may babayaran pang environmental fee na 50pesos at terminal fee na 30pesos bago ka makakapasok sa terminal mismo. Hindi kami nagtagal sa terminal dahil paalis na din ang bangka. Bago kami lumabas mga nag offer na nang room sa amin Sea Jewel ung name ng Hotel. they offered 2000 per night good for 6persons. Para sa akin mura na ung room kaya kinuha ko na agad baka kc nagkaka ubusan na naman ng matutuluyan at mauwi kami sa squatters area, hehehe. So binayaran ko na nang buo bale 4k ung 3days 2 nights stay. Sabi nung nag offer ng room ay may aircon, cable TV, 2 double size beds and 1 single bed, hot and cold water, at wifi daw ung room kaya affordable na un para sa akin.<br />

Nagbyahe na ang bangka at since nasa unahan kami natatanaw namin ung nasa harap at to my surprise wala akong natatanaw na langit puro ulap, hahaha!

Nung nakaraang linggo nag grocery ulit ako at same scenario walang Colgate at this time since Palmolive ang sabon ko naghanap din ako ng Palmolive at wala din. Wat Da?!!! un ang main reason kung bkit ako pumunta sa supermarket at wala sila nung mga bblhin ko? Kaya nagpunta pa ako sa Watsons para bumili ng Colgate, meron naman kaso wala naman silang Palmolive na sabon, amps! Pahirap sa buhay. So I have done my home work and searched why those items are missing on SM Supermarkets shelves. Here is what I have found out:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">According to <a href="http://business.inquirer.net/money/features/view/20090609-209633/We%92ve_got_it_all_..._almost">an article</a> from Philippine Daily Inquirer:</div><br />
<i>DON’T go looking for Colgate toothpaste in SM Supermarkets. Don’t go shopping there for Palmolive soap or shampoo either, because chances are, you won’t find any. That’s because the SM group and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturer Colgate-Palmolive recently got into a tussle over billing issues, according to our sources.</i><br />
<i>According to the Colgate-Palmolive camp, the disagreement came about after SM insisted on a payment period beyond what is normal for FMCG items (a longer period would have positive and negative implications for either party, since “time is money”).</i><br />
<i>The SM camp, meanwhile, says the terms are static, and that a new Colgate-Palmolive manager who is “unaccustomed to the way business has always been done” has been pushing for better terms (that are clearly not better for SM).</i><br />
<i>Thus, Colgate-Palmolive’s products and merchandisers are no longer a fixture in SM Supermarket premises, prompting a high-stakes stand off between the two corporate giants.</i><br />
<i>Both firms rely on each other for a significant amount of their revenues. SM—the country’s biggest supermarket chain—is easily Colgate-Palmolive’s largest vendor. Colgate-Palmolive products, meanwhile, are some of the best-selling products of the chain, with daily sales estimated in the millions of pesos.</i><br />
<i>Yesterday, several SM Supermarkets showed thinning stocks of Colgate toothpaste, while Palmolive bath products were “out of stock,” according to the staff.</i><br />
<i>Neither side seems keen on prolonging the agony, however, and a source from the SM group said that they are “looking forward to resolving any differences.”</i><br />
<i>Of course, the question really is who will blink first? <b> </b></i><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sa aking pagkakaintindi e nagkaroon sila ng mga desisyon na hindi sinang ayunan nang magkabilang kumpanya, at dinamay pa nila ng sabon kong Palmolive, amps! Even if ipull out nila ung Colgate and Palmolive sa shelves nila I think those consumers that uses those products won't choose other brands so still it may have a downfall but just a little and may sabi sabi na malaki manghingi ng patong ang SM marami daw sila hinihingi sa iabng mga company gusto nilang mapabilang sa shelves nila. O well, problema na nila un, better go to a different supermarket para you got it all talaga! hehehe.</span></div>chrokyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04357158939401955269noreply@blogger.com6
