May 9-11, 2010
May 11 is a special day for the Filipino people to practice our right in choosing the next leaders of the country. Moreover, this is also an opportunity for employees like me who worked in Manila to had a short vacation in the province.
I also brought the new TV set and DVD Player for my mom. When I got home, I did nothing but to play music in my new player and watch movies. That was a great time to rest. On Sunday morning, we headed to Tabia shore for the family picnic.
Bohol Beach Club, Panlao Island Bohol Philippines



This was happened last April 23-25, 2010 but because of being busy in my work, I wasn't able to post it in my blog. This is one of my most unforgettable travel experience. I was able to tour the island in 3 days. Litterally our lives only evolved inside the service bus, taking pictures in every destinations and craving for tasteful delicacies. We just just go back of the resort to dine, rest and took a bath.
On Day 1, we visted the Baclayon Church, Chocolate Hills in Carmen, watched the Loboc Junior Ambassadors Band for their wonderful music and cruise in Loboc River.
On the second Day, we woke up early to watch Dolphins, afterwards we proceed to Balicasag to snorkel. After a short rest, we headed to the central school to see the performance of Lococ Children's Choir. At night, we had dinner at beach front then played in the sand until 2AM.
The third day was our last day in Bohol. We had breakfast in Bohol Bee Farm wherein one of the dessert was "fresh flowers", really.

Nasugbu, Batanggas City Philippines
A hidden destination for fun and adventure. This beach is not yet recognized as one of the preffered spots during summer as compared to Boracay, El Nido and other beaches popular in the Philippines.
What is exciting here is that, yes for the fact that only those folks living nearby this beach know about this, anyone who does not like noisy and crowded beaches will most likely prefer to stay here. Besides, because it is not private, there are no big fees to paid for.
This is not a white beach with fine sand accross the shore, no bars and parties at night but the privacy and peacefulness of the place is priceless.

Still in office at past 7:00 PM. Instead of having take outs from the nearby fastfood chains, we prefer to took a short ride and find some place with good food to offer for dinner. We found this place along JP Rizal in Makati City. The Fabiana's Grill. The photo above is the upper level made of wood. This place also serves as a little bar. After dinner is a good start for fun and drinking sessions.
This beautiful sunset was taken in La Luz Resort, San Juan Batangas City Philippines. I've seen several sunset photos in Google, but this one is different. Well maybe its because of the timing the sunset was taken. A good combination of yellow and black colored sky at past 6 pm like this but of course depending on the weather condition.

It's very refreshing to see something green in the morning. Makati is one of the Philippines' busiest city and is categorized as the center of business and commerse. Aside from the aggressive development of more buildings, residential establishments like condos and apartments, malls and other modern business architectures, Makati also aims to provide its people with a green and a nature freindly environment through the development of theme parks and gardens.

There's no such place like home!
It is exactly a year since I came back home again. Everything seems to be the same, but not as what I left before..(sigh...). Emotionaly, it is true that there is no other place in the world like home, it is still your birthplace, your territory. Like mine. Whatever I left are still what I could see when I return. Few changes has been made, but the real essence is still the same.
Going home is like a championship. Win or loss, a measure of what you are when you left and what you are when you arrived. For me this is the result of a battle. It is what you bring back not what you took away. Living in this place since a
child, lots of dreams were built- the only thing to carry when time comes that you need to left and look for yourself.
Since then, going home is like a dream come true. The fruit of labor and hard work. And once again, a scale of what would it be next year.
Marinduque Island is another destination far away from the city. The annual Moriones Festival on April would be a great cultural experience that's why it is better to bagged this as one of your summer get away..
Seashore in Tabia - shelter for fishing boats. These huge boats are used for fishing in nearby towns and nearby provinces.

The coconut farm: This is more or less 5 hectares of land where popular variety of crops are coconut, bananas and fruit trees. Livestocks are also raised here like chicken and hog.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This year has been very tough for us because of the tragedies and disasters caused by typoon Ondoy and Peping that brought massive distractions to properties and death of our fellow Filipino people. We will also never forget the effect of the Global Financial Crisis in the economy that caused for some companies, institutions and factories to shutdown operations and prefer the mass lay-off to cut down cost of production.
Not to mention everything that happened throughout the year, the most important is, we are still here standing at our own foot, facing up and little by little gathering back all the hopes and courage that once was stolen to us.
Despite of this difficulties that we had just won, we have all the priveledges to celebrate Christmas and prepare ourselves for the comming New Year.
