Page Rank 2

It's been a while and I haven't really updated this blog for a very long time. Recently, I have been posting different topics just to keep this blog updated. I was surprised when I checked my Page Rank and it's still PR 2! Wow! I'm glad it didn't dropped and remained the same the last time I checked it. :) Anyways, I'll try to keep this blog updated... *crossing fingers* :D

Sun's Halo

Here are photos of the sun around noon...

These photos were taken along Illustre st., Davao City. I've seen a moon with a halo a few times but this is my first time to see a halo surrounding the sun... At first, I thought there was an eclipse going on but later on, I realized it was not. I couldn't help myself and captured a few shots even though I was struggling with the things I was carrying. :)

My Chess Buddy

I learn to play chess when I was 9 or 10 years old. No one taught me how to play it. I dunno why I enjoyed watching my cousins play it, I just watched them play and that's how I know how to play the game. My Uncle was my first opponent, I was still a noob then. He would always beat me with his mighty three moves (lol). But later on I figured out how to defend his attacks. But we didn't play that much back then and when we moved to my Aunt's place, I have no one to play chess with, so I play basketball, because there's a basketball court just near their house.

When I was in high school, my classmate and later on who became my friend, Bochoy, also likes to play chess and we would play during lunch breaks and recess time. She was good at it, I seldom beat her, hehehe... We tried to play during Intramurals and I was so happy to win my first tournament, hehehe... But we we're in just in 2nd place, next to the 4th year players. I think I had stopped playing or we had stopped playing chess when we were in 3rd year, been busy with academic stuff.

When I was in college, I met a few friends, but none of them played chess or even interested in that game. So, I play basketball again, hahaha... Then, I met Ghenessa, we were on the same team in the Eng'g. dept., for Baskeball Girls. We were teammates during Ithe ntramurals but we rarely talk, because I feel that she's so hard to approach but later on I found that she's okay nman pala and 'kalog' din like me. ;) When I tried to joined the chess tournament during our intramurals, she joined too and then she became my chess buddy at that time. Well, we won and we were on the same team and there was just one trophy, I really wanted to have it and Ghen wants to have it too... hahaha... We both signed at the bottom of it but still having a discussion on who will have the trophy (LOL). Anyways, I got it by the way... hahahaha... I told her that she already had lots of medals and trophies on her academic recognitions and I got none (hahahaha... pa-awa effect), I'm not genius like her... hehehe... Well, it was in those times that we were able to play chess together, when the intramural's over, she became busy again with school projects. Rhon knows how to plays chess too but she's not really into it and she had this thought that she would couldn't beat me. waahh... palusot...

Anyways, after I dunno how many years had passed, I was able to play chess again, with Ghen. Yey! Seryoso masyado xa oh... hehehe...

Well, we had a great night with Rhon and Fern... That would be the last night we would be seeing Rhon here in Davao, so we're making the best of our time together. We don't know when she's coming back again.... Hmm... That picture above is Ghen, my Chess Buddy... wehehehe... I'm not really that good at chess and I rarely play it nowadays...

Babae Po Ako!

We had our bonding moment again, Rhon, Ghen and me. Rhon seldom goes here because she's working in Butuan and Ghen, well, she's kind of busy with work., so we don't hang-out that much. Anyways, we were heading to our favorite hang-out way back in college when Ghen received a text message from one of her close friend too, which is also our schoolmate in college. He saw us and they had a li'l chit-chat.

When Ghen went back to us again after talking to her friend, she told me what he had said to her. "I saw your friend (referring to me) with a guy... and then he added: babae pala siya? I thought she's a tomboy. Toinkz! Bagting akong dalunggan! Waaahhh!!!

Well, I can't blame him for thinking like that, he used to see me in a simple shirt and loose pants at the campus before. I also hang-out mostly with the boys, because there were only a few girls in the engineering department and I don't like hanging out with them (mga sossy kasi). Plus, I used to play basketball during intramurals and whenever I get the cance to play during my vacant time. I rarely wear fitting clothes or any of those kikay outfits... But behind those clothings and action is an ordinary girl who enjoys the feeling of being with her crush whenever they play basketball ;). But sadly, her crush thinks she's a tomboy too and calls her 'bugoy' wwaaahh!!!!

Hmmm... I remember there was an issue of me and my best friends rhon being a couple at school, LOL! But we're just friends, she even had a crush on my crush too (lol) and I'm not a tomboy!

Anyways, maybe he hasn't seen my transformation... from an ugly duckling to an ugly duck (lol). Well, I begin to apply lght make-ups and wear girly clothings and other kikay stuff when I was in my higher year already. Though, I still wear jeans and shirts sometimes, it's more comfortable for me, hehehe...

For all those who still didn't know this, I'm a girl, physically ofcourse (lol) and a girl at heart who still dreams of finding the man who would truly love me and I will truly love, forever and ever, amen....

Transparent Am I

I had too much pain locked up inside of me… too much pain inside that another addition to that pain means a volcanic eruption any moment… Why can’t I just forget it all…? This feeling’s just like a scenario in a play that keeps on winding back, over and over again… When would be the time when it would continue and end as it should be…?

No matter how hard I try to hide what I really feel and just keep it inside me, there’s still a time when I just don’t have the power to be in command of myself… In my actions, the way I talk or the look in my eyes that says ‘hey, I’m not okay!’ And the harder I try to be okay, the more I am not. I guess I am not really that good in handling my emotions. Those who are and had been with me for years could still tell and sense what I really feel… That deep within those laughter and smiles on my face hides a weak soul… a weak soul, still waiting to be cured…

My Bukidnon Trip

After Shara and Glester's wedding, we went to Waig Crystal Spring Resort, where the reception was held. Then after that we went back to their Aunt's place in Maramag. We will be going to Kitaotao (a 30 minute ride from Maramag) right after we get our things packed. We went to Richel and Glester Dionaldo's place, where Ghenessa and I stayed. If you can still remember the orange house on my previous blog post, it is where we stayed for 3 days, I think...

The Newly Weds, Shara and Glester, singing Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.



Me and Ghen... Sing along kaagad...

Their place is so peaceful, kind of scary when you go out at night because there are only few light post and the neighbor's houses are far from theirs.

I really had a great time there, I get to see rubber trees up close (na igno, lolz). They have rubber trees at the back of their house.

Nakaila na gyud ko'g Praying Mantis... hahaha...



Sige lang kaon ug fruits...



Namutong...



Want some fresh buko juice?



Hahaha... took me a few minutes to be able to get this done. Then, we made buko salad. :)

Ghen kept on telling me that we should go to Transfig (Monastery of Transfiguration) and see the Pyramid Church in Malaybalay, Bukidnon. It was so hot that day, and she was so busy playing PSP, while I and Che's cousin was singing karaoke again... I was just waiting for them, because they were the ones who had already went there. Che's cousins keep on telling us to go and went there right at that moment because it would took us about an hour and 30 minutes to get there. And it was already 3 at that time, wahhh... We arrived at around 5 at Transfig and teh guard told us that we cannot go to the Pyramid church because the monks are already praying there. Waahhh!! Well, we still went inside for me to atleast see the place.

The monks had a coffee plantation, their Monk's Blend premium coffee is one thier income generating products.

I saw a wild rose while walking along...

If you want to go to Transfig, you should be early. They will open from 6 am till 4 or 5 pm... Hmmm.. nextt time we will go there early. And that next time might be this saturday.... weeee!!! I'm not sure if we'll go swimming at Waig, but I hope we will, coz we didn't get the chance to swim there last time. 'Til my next trip to Bukidnon... I will take lots of photos next time... good photos, I hope so... ;)

My UnLucky Day...

Yesterday was the most embarrassing and unlucky day for me... Why? Waaahhh... Binunggo ko lang naman ang sarili ko sa glass door.... togoinkz... see that big 'bukol'? waaahhh!!

 

 tsaakkiiitt!!! huhuhuhu.... :(

 

I went out yesterday, did something for my two best friends who asked a favor for me, and I gladly and willingly do it. I wake up late so I was in hurry, trying to be on time before the bank closes. So, I left home with an empty stomach, I'll just eat outside after doing my tasks... That was my big mistake, I should've eaten even just a little amount of food. I was really tired and not to mention hungry when that happened... 

When I first entered the place, there was still a guard there opening and closing the doors for their customers. I've had my orders made at the counter but the lady said that it would take 15-20 minutes. 15-20 minutes would do to take the documents and send them to my friend through LBC, and it was just a few meters away from where I am. So, I went there had it mailed, and went back to (secret, ulaw koh mag tell, lol). I was busy looking for the receipt on my bag and I really thought that there was a guard there who will open the door for me (assuming kaayo since a while back there was a guard naman talaga). Unfortunately, there wasn't and I wasn't looking so BANG! I was also shocked at what just happened, and when I looked above, I can see the 'stars' este stares of the people inside. Wahh!! That was so embarrassing! I was having second thoughts if I should continue to go inside or not, but I still have my food in there waiting for me which is already paid and I was soooo hungry nah... Well, I did go inside, not minding their looks at me (as if ala daw nag mind).

After that, I almost got hit by a car.. togoinkz... Katangahan na lang jud... Got my sun sim lost, again! I just bought it last month when I lost my other sun sim. It hasn't been a month since I started using that sim and it's nowhere to be found now. I remember putting it in my pocket and when I got home it wasn't there anymore, not in my bag too. Hay... Whatta day!

Bukidnon Trip

My best friend Ghen and I was invited by my new friend Glester (Bjoy) on his wedding last Saturday, March 14, 2009. Their place is at Bukidnon, so went there last Friday. I was excited to travel again and because it will be my first time to be in Bukidnon. We would just pass at the place whenever we get the chance to go to Cagayan. I was almost ready at around 2 p.m. and I made some sandwhich that I can munch on while on the bus, coz I am getting hungry na... I was so full and oh so dizzy again... I have this motion sickness that I really hate! I can't get to see the lovely sceneries on our way not to mention the 'vomit' moment, urrgg! I really hate this sickness! Anyways, we arrived safely at around 7 p.m. in Maramag. It was raining taht night and the weather's cold...

Just arrived at Maramag, Bukidnon with Ghen.

After a few minutes Richel and Glester arrived to pick us up, we will be staying at their Aunt's place... Had dinner with their family and talk for a while... I can't sleep that night, it was so cold! hahaha... and I had a never ending conversation with Ghen that's why we had slept at around 1 a.m.

Ghen, Shara and Glester and Me... Orange ang motiff nila... :)

The wedding was held at the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel and the Reception was held atWaig Crystal Spring Resort...

After the wedding we went to Kitaotao, to Richel and Glester's place...

In this orange house is where me and Ghen stayed until tuesday...

Will post more of my Bukidnon Trip soon...

On a Sunday...

It's a Sunday again... I've said to myself that I would try to go to church every Sunday and attend the mass... So, I went to St. Paul again this afternoon... I was too early for the 6pm mass, so I just stayed on one corner and just stay there... As I was standing there, I've seen a few people sitting on the stairs outside the church; talking, laughing, and there's this one holding (or I assume he's playing) PSP... tsk3... I questioned myself, what are these guys really doing here in the church? The priest is talking and they're talking too, when it's about to stand they'll stand, they even went to communion and then after that they continue talking and laughing... tsk3... Buti pa di na lang sila nag simba if ganun lang ang gagawin nila sa church... Pumunta lang ba sila sa church dahil kelangan, napilitan or for the sake lang na sabihin na nagsisimba? Hahaha.. Nag-aassume na ako... tsk3... anyways, I don't know their reasons but as for me, if that's just what they'll do, they shouldn't have went there, nadadagdagan lang kasalanan nila...

Hmmm... Anyways, after the mass I went to NCCC Mall and again eat there... alone... lolz... When I was waiting outside for a ride, I noticed that my ring's not in my thumb finger anymore... It was given to me by my beloved sister... So I tried to recall the last time I saw it in my finger but can't remember, lolz... I loved that ring pa naman... I tried to check if I might have slipped it inside my bag and I was relieved to have found it there... Whew! Maluwag kasi yun sa akin but still I love to wear it... :D Ayun, I wear it again, smiling... :)

Hmmm... what else? Nothing extraordinary happened today... Na bore ba kayo? lolz... 'Til next time ulit :) By the way, here's a recent photo of me... Wala lang, just kidding around...

MarsoKwatro - Death Anniversary

I really forgot that today was the death anniversary of my beloved PapaLolo... Maybe that's why I've dreamed of him last night... if not for a text message that I received from a close friend of mine, I wouldn't know what date is today... It was a funny text message by the way stating:

Gusto ka'g DATE karon? Mar. 04, 2009. O, mao na ang date karon! Date ugma, gusto pud ka? Hahahaha! Ugma na lang pud.

Then I said to myself: Hala! March 4 pala now, death anniversary ni Lolo... It's been 6 years already since the Davao Airport bombing incident, still, justice is nowhere to be found...

I was planning to go to the church and to the cemetery after I finish posting this but unfortunately, it's raining now... Maybe in a while, it will stop and I will visit his grave at the Davao Memorial Park...

Paper Boats

Photo by Scott Whitelaw

It's been raining here almost everyday. I remember when I was still a kid I used to play in the rain and soaked myself while running on the streets with my playmates. We used to make paper boats too, let it float on the rain water and sometimes we put it the canal and let it flow. We would follow where it will be heading but as it reaches far away from our place, we would just look at it from afar and went back playing... It's so nice to remember those times, hehehe...

I tried to make a paper boat but I forgot how to make it, hahaha... So, I googled it and found the steps on how to make it. I tried making one, just a simple little paper boat made out of scratch and here's what it looked like....

Anyways, Have you seen a life-sized paper boat? Check out this pictures:

Source and Photo Credits at TechEBlog

The boat is 30 feet long and weighs 55 pounds. This 37 year old German artist used a 170 sq. meter piece of Tetrapack paper and construct it for two hours only. Would you like to sail for 40 days in this paper boat? I wanna try, hahaha... To where? Hmmm.... I don't know...

The Proud Bagoba

Are you proud of your roots? Hhmm... I am! wehehehe... My great grandfather and grandmother is a pure Bagobo. I can understand the Bagogo Language and speak a little, though sometimes I get confused by their meanings hehehe... Just wanted to share lang for those who didn't know yet, I am a proud Bagoba! Nyahahaha...

Others won't believe while the others just agree with what I am saying when I told them na may dugong Bagobo ako... hahaha... Some would ask if I was just kidding or what... well, that's just it... :D

So, Who are the Bagobos?

The Bagobo were the first ethnic group in Mindanao encountered by the Spaniards at the end of the nineteenth century. Its name was derived from the words "bago" meaning "new' and "obo/obbo/uvu" meaning "growth",or "grow" which refer to a recent formation of people along the Davao Gulf coast.

The Bagobo are proud people with proto-Malayan features. They have light brown complexion, brown or brownish black wavy to curly hair, dark and widely set eyes, ridge broad nose and full,rounded lips.

The ancient settlement of the Bagobo is called Sibulan and serves as the center of all the Bagobo settlements when the Spaniards came. A strong social structure has enabled the groups to blend well with the main body politic while retaining their indigenous customs, beliefs and values.

The Bagobos have ornate traditions in weaponry and other metal arts.They are noted for their skill in producing brass articles through the ancient lost-wax process. They also weave abaca cloths of earth tones and make baskets that are trimmed with beads, fibers, and horses hair.
