Wow this is already my third update for this month! Glad I have time to blog now. This has always been my outlet when I feel happy, sad, hopeful or frustrated! My friends know that I have a blog but they don't know that it's still active. They don't even bother to visit this site except you, who stumbled into this little space of mine in world wide web. I've been flooding pictures in the past 2 days, I hope you like it. It took me a while to post it. I've been busy playing facebook games that's why. But I said to myself that I need a break from facebook and this is it! So how's everybody doing? I hope you are enjoying your everyday lives.

Christmas is approaching and after that here comes new year then a few months after that it's Election time! Time flies so fast. I still have few things I need to cross out on my list - meaning to do list of 2009. I want to live the remaining days of this year be slow and memorable. I don't know why I'm saying this but I don't want to waste the remaining days staring blankly in the wall or doing nothing then wait for the new year for new resolutions. It seems that downsizing the head count in the office motivates me to think, work, study and find other options. Somehow there is always an opportunity in bad situations.

September

Like my co-workers I really love to go on a trip. We been planning this camping trip since May, good thing it finally happened. It's the same crowd plus Jay and Ryan this time. Here's our itinerary. We took a bus from Victory Liner Cubao - trip that says going to Iba, Zambales. Our destination was in San Antonio, Zambalez (the town before Iba) which cost us 215 per head. From San Antonio town proper we took a tricycle going to Pundaquit about 25 pesos per person. From there we had a contact the boat going to Anwangin Cove. It's 1300php for a roundtrip(4 pax per boat), also it includes a side trip to Capones Island.

I forgot the name of the island. That's the closest island from Pundquit shore.

This is the Capones Island, his side is facing the Pundaquit shore.

Going to Anwangin cove.

We have arrived. You can see it from Kat's face that she's glad we've finally set foot to Anwangin.

Settling down.

We arrived at Anwangin cove around past 2 in the afternoon. We looked for the spot to put up for tent. By the way there is a fee when you get there. It's 100php. After we opted for the location near the deep well, after settling down. We walked within the premise and took some pictures. From 4pm onwards we indulged in clear shore of Anwangin, cam-whoring and played games. It was raining from 8pm until midnight, we're bunking in our tents while waiting for the rain to stop, share funny stories, urban legends and dozed off for few hours. Around midnight or say past midnight the raind had finally stopped until our trip going home.

Packing up to leave.

Leaving the cove. I'm with Chester and Jay.

Calm sea going to Capones Island.

Cool rock formation.



Got time to rest. It's a good view up there.




I think this rock looks like a man in sideways . I don't know maybe it's just how I look at it.

August

About 3 months ago my friends and co-workers went to Bicol. Sort of a 2-day getaway from work. Surely it was fun and here are some of the pictures.

Day 1. From Manila we took the an 8-hour bus ride(Isarog bus liner) going to Naga City. We arrived at past 6am then we rode another bus from the market going to Provincial Capitol Complex in Pili, Camarines Sur. We stayed at the Eco Village cabin which cost us 850php (4pax) while the rest of our friends stayed in the pavilion. It was almost lunch when we left the complex, our first stop was Mt. Isarog. I can still remember it was partly cloudy when we climbed up Mt Isarog that day.

From the left: Edu, Cam, Huber, Yhang, Chester, Me and Aimee. We're waiting for the van to take us outside of the complex. Our first stop was Mt. Isarog

Climbing up going to Mt. Isarog.

Another stop for picture taking.

Finally! We're waiting for others to arrive.

Descending towards the waterfall.

Our last stop in Mt Isarog. We dipped in cold white water.

We left Mt. Isarog past 3 in the afternoon and we had a super late lunch (or early dinner) at Bob Marlin. Then we went to the cable park, took a dip in the pool, a dinner at the clubhouse and finally a good night sleep.

Day 2. We woke up in mid-day, my right leg is hurting from the unexpected landing in the slippery boulder in Mt. Isarog waterfall plus the bruises. I decided not to join them in the lagoon for the obstacle game. Looking at their faces they're enjoying every inch of the race. Too bad I missed it, instead I took some pictures of them.

From the left: Liw, Aimee, Cam, Yhang, Edu, Chester and Huber.

About to crash.

Yup that was him, the guy who miscalculated his landing hehe.

They got tired in obstacle race in the lagoon, we had lunch in the clubhouse. Huber, Yhang, Chester and Aimee was off to Naga Airport after lunch going back to Manila while us - me, Cam, Edu and Liw took a bus going to Albay.

Day 3. 'Twas a rainy day but even the weather coudn't stop us. We were supposed to see the Mayon Volcano apparently she's to shy to see her magnificent perfect cone. She's hiding beneath the clouds and rainshowers. The volcano is giving me a reason to come back. When rain stopped, a kid took a picture of us with the Cagsawa ruins in the background and we bought our pasalubong in nearby stalls.


Edu the giant.

My time to shine hehehe...

Group picture before we leave.

Work it!

Last stop was the Hoyop-hoyopan cave then we travelled back to Naga City and we flew going back to Manila.

Dating is prohibited inside the cave.

Soon it will be called a column.

The view from above - that's The Fort by the way. It only means we're back to normal back to work the next day.

I realized just now that one of my fave blog is already in active it was ala-ism.pansitan.net. I will surely miss that blog.

Cake

Thanks Barn Buddy!

Facebook

The reason why I have less time to update this blog. I'm there almost everyday like when I woke up, before going work, while at work and before bedtime. The first application that I got hooked up into was Farmtown and then there's Farmville, Restaurant City, Barn Buddy, Farmland, Sunshine Rance, Bejeweled, Roller coaster Kingdom, Sorority Life and even Text Twist. The recent game I am playing is Cafe World. At this point I only play 2-3 applications, nagsawa na rin ako which is a good thing. I wish I can still do a "no facebook day".

It's good to see the sun again after Ondoy. I hope that our kababayan in northern luzon will experince it too, I hope that the flood receded. It was a traumatic experience but we need to move on. I didn't even bother to post how it looked like, it's uncanny.

I'm back!

Happy 2nd b-day to my blog! I am back people, exactly a month of not so active in blogging. I wasn't busy. I've got time if I wanted too however my laziness kicks in sometimes or shall I say tired to think of what to put in here. Anyway I'm back so let's get the ball rolling. I promised plenty of things especially movie reviews and pictures of my CamSur and Albay trip. I'll do it one by one. In fact I have draft of movie reviews (naks! kina-career). But before I do what I wanted to do let me explain the reason why I am back in blogsphere.
One - I miss blogging badly, two - I don't need to share internet bandwidth my bro since he's back to work, meaning internet is mine alone. I can blog while other stuff are buffering. I can stay late at night without someone telling me to go to sleep early because I have shift on the following day. Now reason number three - I cook and eat what I want. The bad side of living alone is that I don't anybody to share my monthly bills :(. I pay it all! It's weird though, I am happy that I can do what I want now that I am alone but somehow I am missing my brother. Even my cat misses him too.
