Ilocandia Adventure

After 2 months of waiting finally I am able to create a post about this trip!
Hinintay ko kasi pics ni Josh, sa kasawiang palad, nabura....

I went to Ilocos with Cecille, luckily we got a cebuPac round trip fare(Manila-Laoag-Manila) for only 1800php.

Manila to Laoag
---------------

Si cecille takot sa eroplano, first day kasi kaya picture lang kami ng picture mula MDA hanggang LIA.





Sinundo kami ni Josh sa airport at binigay niya ang pooh na stuff toy at flowers. Sinimot at inenjoy ko lng siay sa coche kasi pagdating sa apartment nya di na ako Jowa niya, si Cecille na!






On our way to Pagudpud, we passed by a very Romantic beach na puro beach, great timing sunset! parang shoooting nya blue moon ung si Eddie Garcia sa beach.





Pagudpud
------------

Di ko kinaya ang ganda sa pagudpud kakaloka!!! Since kami lng tao, nagpakakami kami. Walang inhibitions..enjoy lang!!!























Watch Tower
-----------

Nung pauwi na kami, dumaan kami sa isang watch tower which I think is centuries old na, abandoned ata to at mukhang haunted









Bangui Windmills
----------------

Ang laki ng windmill nato, feeling ang laki ng mga fan para kang chochopchopin! grabe kaya pala may windmills dito kasi ang hangin parang bagyo everyday.picture lng kami ng picture atwala kami pakialam kahit may mga excursionist from baguio na nakatingin sa amin hehehe









Fort Ilocandia
---------------

Before heading to Fort Ilocandia for my first try on the slot machine, we first dined at chiken ati-atihan(cguro nag aatiatihan muan sila bago niluto). Fort Ilocandia is the only first class hotel in Ilocos, most of its clients go there for the casino







Paoay and San Nicolas
---------------------

Paoay is where the Paoay church is(obvious ba!) di actually heritage site ito ng UNESCO, so its really a privilege to be in a very classical place..char!







Sand Dunes
-----------

May dessert pala dito sa Pilipinas. Dito shinoshoot mga movies ni FPJ at kung ano man yung mga sinaunang telefantasya ni Vic Sotto, et al..







Vigan
-----------

Sobrang excited kami pumunta ni cecille sa Vigan, kahit alas kwatro na ng hapon, pinilit pa rin namin pumunta dun. Maliit lng pala siya, in 2 hours ikot na namin lahat. Buti mabait si manong calesa driver at nalibot namin talaga ang buong Vigan. Grabe kakapagod din ang biyaheng to...Pinuntahan namin ung church kung saan nagshooting si FPJ ulit, ung bahay ni Fr Burgos na pinigutan ng ulo ng mga ninuno kong Kastilla(hehehe), dinayo pa namin yung pagawaan ng palayok at ang ginawal ng namin ay bumili ng titi na pangsouvenir sa mga lalaking ofismate hehehe.Peor pinakafavorite ko ung empanada ng Vigan na ayaw dalhin ni Josh as his pasalubong sakin kasi mamantika daw



















Pauwi na kami
-------------
From vigan direcho na kami sa Max restaurant kasi nilibre kami ng kain ng ofismate ni Josh. Nung pauwi naman kami kumain muna kami sa La Preciosa para makakain kami ng Ilocano dishes. haay grabe 5 days din kami sa Ilocos.Ang sarap ng bakasyon. Ang saya. Kasi daming memories. Ang lungkot kasi magkakalayo na naman kami.

Holy Week Adventure Plans

After my very successful Ilocos tour(pictures to be posted soon), with just a month before the holy week, I think it is high time for me to plan for our holy week vacation.

Initially we had two choices, go back to Bolinao,Pangasinan or Puerto Galera. Bolinao is a good choice, this is where we had our first vacation together pero tapso na kami dito, I wanted a new place. Puerto Galera's white beaches and fun night life is also a good choice kaso, I dont like the crowd, its like going to Malate kaso holy week lang.

Last Thursday, while browsing the PinoyExchange, I came across a thread about vacation spots in the Philippines. One topic was about Apo Reef. I almost thought it was the Apo Island of Negros Oriental. Apo Reef pala of Occidental,Mindoro. Like Puerto Galera, this place is also in Mindoro though on the other side.

Apo Reef is just an added attraction. Di kasi ako marunong mag scuba dive kaya walang silbi to and magastos pa. Ung main attraction pala is Pandan Island.

Pandan Island is a private island with a small resort on the West coast of Occidental Mindoro, Central Philippines.
After the island was 'discovered' and the resort established in 1986 by a French adventurer, this tropical island retreat has been voted time and again as one of the top resorts in the Philippines, not in terms of luxury but for it's quality of life and it's personalized atmosphere.

Here are snapshots of what to expect in Pandan Island.

Sana matuloy kami dito. Nakapagbook na ako. Excited!

Not meant for me

This morning i was interviewed by Pipo for the Bearsterns project. Sayang, na blockout ko. I wasnt able to answer his questions even the simple SCJP questions. I fel so sad about this. It made me realize that Im not yet ready for any job interview anytime soon. It even crossed my mind that IT isnt for me. Im afraid that I may not be able to get a bigger paying job after my contract ends. It saddens to to think that my current company might get disappointed about this that they might think that I dont deserve the increase that I got. I feel embrassed because it was Pipo who interviewed me, that he and Darrix might think that I was nothing after all. Shet, I really need to redeem myself. Ive got less than a day to review, with my schedule now, with my hectic and busy project, I dont even think its possible. Haay, another oppurtunity lost.

Almost Valentines Day

Ever since, it has always been my dream to have an authentic Valentines date. When he came to my life, i told myself not to miss any important date sa buhay ko. Indeed, nangyari nga. Sa kasawiang palad, of all sa Valentines pa wala siya. Physically wala siya, pero in my heart and soul kasama ko siya.

Beauty Special

Since Ria came back, her presence has brought me a major realization that I have to keep up with the world's high standards of beauty.(unsa to ako gisulta..usba beh!)

First thing, she made me try her ultra spectacular microdermabrasion kit by Mary Kay. This product is really nice. i almost lost my face when i used it. Grabe ka nice ang iya scrub, you can really feel your skin exfoliating. Well, the pain can testify it.

Second, nangharbor ko ug Hydroquinone and tretinoin creams ni Dan.

Third, she introduced me to katie-jones products which she learned from PinoyExchange. Hmmmm, basta makamoney lang ko palit ko. Im so curious with this product, pattered after Obagi daw and a lot of people were abel to testify its effectiveness. Why not?

Surprise surprise

Muari siya ig weekend!

Nurture your dreams ...

I'll soon turn 25 this October, which makes me think what have i done for the past 24 years. And if I do have dreams for my future, have I started to do something to make my dreams a reality?

Day 6 - After 11 months

After so many failed and less-than-a-month relationships, I though I was going to give up on love. 11 months have passed and now I am waiting for our anniv to come. The waiting is not easy because the other part of my heart is not near me. Though he is away, i know deep inside me that we are still near.

At first I gave it a month, and then we succeeded. I waited for 3 - 6 - 9 months, through these times, we grew stronger. A month from now, we are turning a year. And I know we are going to surpass it.

The situation now is hard but we have definitely built a very strong foundation. I just can't wait to see how things will happen. I just love it.
