LET'S GO NORTH... ILOCOS NORTE

Pagudpud remains to be a vivid example of a true tropical paradise of Northern Philippines.

Pagudpud’s main attractions are of course its beautiful beaches, and unlike other pretenders to Boracay’s throne, Pagudpud has every reason to believe that it does rival Boracay’s Spectacular sceneries. So much so, that international travelers started to sit up and take notice.

I tried to have a jump shot of my own... funny I wasn't able to do that..

Wow!... Jona after a lot of trying... she finally made it... JUMP SHOT!!.. AND.. SMILE

Me, Mara, and Jona... as we try to cool down the he

at in Ilocos Norte by posing that way hahaha... as if the sun cares about it...

                                        

Magazine pose.. wahaha

I had a lot of fun. I spent my 1st 13th month pay in this tour... though I really don't know how to swim

KALYE CRISOLOGO

Travel back in time in KALYE CRISOLOGO. Located in VIGAN, ILOCOS SUR, this 

street is 

the pride of the oldest surviving former Spanish settelment in the country. You will see 

houses and structures still pretty much intact and well maintained and preserved. What i 

like 

best in Kalye Crisologo is this street is closed to modern traffic.. walang monster traffic 

na nakaka-inis.. 

I'm tired already so I sat down in one of the wood bench there....
I truly appreciated the old structure of Kalye Crisologo for it gave me a feeling of being
in the old era or time.. (whatever!) There I enjoy
buying delicacies and my favorite Vigan Longganisa. I also had the chance to taste Bagnet.
It's like a crispy pata or lechon but its more
soft, crunchy and yummy... but it's kinda expensive so I didn't bother to buy it. (SORRY

NAMAN KURIPOT AKO EH!) after this we went home already. Sooo bitin but i had fun...

BALUARTE IN VIGAN

BALUARTE NI SINGSON: the best known zoo in ilocos norte. Dare to take pictures with tigers and Dinosaurs. There is a butterfly farm where you can relax watch them.. catch and kill them if you want (joke!!! bad yun wag gawin). Have a marathon competition with ostrich and ride a horse..

It smells bad... hahaha PEACE!!

A real Ostrich at the back... woooh!!.. (I'm afraid)

It's not a real believe me...

This was my first gala ever in my whole entire life. First year of work... i spent my vacation in ILOCOS NORTE PAGUDPUD with my friends Jona and Mara. It was a great beach experience for me. I tried to swim thought i really dont know how to swim. I wore a little bit daring swimsuit though I'm not sexy (who cares anyway). That place is a paradise it reminds me of boracay because of its white sand. (gusto ko pumunta ng Boracay)...

San kaya sunod kong gala???? EXCITED MUCH!!!!

OCEAN ADVENTURE TRIP IN SUBIC

It's summer time.. get out of the sun and have some fun....
First stop OCEAN ADVENTURE in SUBIC. For 500 pesos you could have 4 shows (ako libre kasi company outing)

first in the list "HIGH DIVE SHOW".. I was really amazed to see those funny foreigner (in skimpy swim wear... whew!!! HOT!!) jumped in almost 85 ft in the air.

next.... SEA LION SHOW (un nga ba name ng show?... can't remember anymore). Well, this sea lion is a genius he did a lot of tricks and math activity (oh c'mon I don't like math)

next.... ECO THEATER.. inside the theater they have a show which features different animals

last.. the most awaited and breath-taking DOLPHIN SHOW.

 the dolphins are being coach with their trainer...

After a long day I really hate goodbye but I need to say goodbye to that place which has been a part of me in a short period of time... huhuhu bye till next gala ulet...

a sad love letter

I know it's been a while already. Actually it's almost a month now but I'm still longing for you. Every night your memory keeps on hunting me. I tried every posible way to escape this insanity but I always ends up crying.
I'm still hoping that one day you will knock at my door, run to my arms again and love me again.
How long should I wait? How long will I suffer from this torment? Do I really deserves this?
Please be back home soon. This heart of mine is in agony and the only cure is you.
There is a melancholy in the place where I am right now and the sorrow is spreading and creeping like a nightmare.
I'll be waiting at the end of the rainbow hoping you will be there soon. Please bring the white roses that you promise me. I'm eager to embrace those in my arms.
I know it will take you a long time but please send me your smile for the meantime. That will keep me contented and happy.

HEAVEN SENT

Love ruled the day when the angels came to meet
Sweeping them up and off of their feet
Neither of them knowing what the future would bring
Two hearts together and one diamond ring
Today it’s a promise, so sweet and so pure
Together forever, for love shall endure

A blessing from above, this story is told
A love to last a lifetime and a hand to hold
It was no accident that this came to be
Now you must realize that it really takes three
So, go hand and hand to a future unknown
Knowing that with the Lord, you will never be alone

With the angels still near and dear to the heart
This couple shall prosper and never grow apart
For it’s not always the eye that is the first to see
What really matters in life and what is meant to be
So remember that to love is time well spent
And what brought you two together was heaven sent

LIFE IS LIKE A CUP OF COFFEE

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Einstein's Chauffer!

This is a true life anecdote about Albert Einstein, and his theory of relativity.

After having propounded his famous theorY, Albert Einstein would tour the various Universities in the United States, delivering lectures wherever he went. He was always accompanied by his faithful chauffer, Harry, who would attend each of these lectures while seated in the back row! One fine day, after Einstein had finished a lecture and was coming out of the auditorium into his vehicle, Harry addresses him and says, "Professor Einstein, I've heard your lecture on Relativity so many times, that if I were ever given the opportunity, I would be able to deliver it to perfection myself!"

"Very well," replied Einstein, "I'm going to Dartmouth next week. They don't know me there. You can deliver the lecture as Einstein, and I'll take your place as Harry!"

And so it went to be... Harry delivered the lecture to perfection, without a word out of place, while Einstein sat in the back row playing "chauffer", and enjoying a snooze for a change.

Just as Harry was descending from the podium, however, one of the research assistants intercepted him, and began to ask him a question on the theory of relativity.... one that involved a lot of complex calculations and equations. Harry replied to the assistant "The answer to this question is very simple! In fact, it's so simple, that I'm going to let my chauffer answer it!"
