Sundate

FINALLY!!

After more than a year Jerrica and I were able to catch up on each others schedule. We’ve been trying to set something up for ages, but for some reason, it never pushed through. Then came yesterday, just when I needed it most, thank God, He knows I needed someone to talk to about my dilemmas, rants and rave about life in general. We met at around 5:30 and called it a night at 9:30, but that was a solid 4 hour talk about anything and everything, no holds barred, unrestrained thoughts. In that 4 hour talk, I think I may have been talking most of the time, 3 hours out of 4. Geez, she’s a good listener, smooth, fun and sensible. She knows when to tell jokes and when to get serious. She’s really someone I am comfortable with.. She understands, always try to make me feel better. She’s one person I can be open with, no judgments. We talked about life, how we struggle to find the right path, we try to figure out what we really want. Same life issues, struggles and disappointments. She gets it when I say, I am not happy, I am not myself. But everything went out smoothly, we talked about decisions we have to make, pros and cons. It took the heaviness off my shoulders, knowing someone gets it, someone is in the same situation as me. I am not alone in this battle for “survival”. HAHA.

A simple conversation with a friend never fails to make me feel better, knowing that I have someone whom I can rely on, someone who understands. We may not figure out what we really want in life yet, what our goal really is. But in this battle, we’re not  quitting, we’re in the pursuit of the real happiness. AJA! :D

Til’ next time!

PS: Rusty blogger skills kicks in, We don’t have any picture that night.

Anxiety Attack

These past few days have been rough. Everything seems wrong, everything feel so out of hand. I don’t know if it really is, or if I’m just thinking too much about things. Whatever it is, it feels like hell, I’m stuck into this feeling that things are getting worst and I can’t do anything about it. I am not myself and I’m not liking it. I am totally destructed, I’m not in the mood. I feel so alone.

Given the chance I wanted to sleep things off, but I couldn’t. I have to face this anxiety alone. I have to figure out what’s really happening. Change is something that is hard to accept all at once, but it is inevitable. I have to accept things I cannot change. I have to adjust to certain people, situations and conditions. I am physically tired, mentally exhausted and emotionally drained. I feel so down and weak. The only thing I can hold on to, is that things can only get better from here. Every person has their own ups and downs, if I’m in my lowest low, there’s no way but to go up and I’m looking forward to that day, when everything seems fine, perfectly normal. I am not asking for a perfect life, but I don’t want to experience this feeling ever again, that I have to force a smile just to make people think that I am okay. Just to stop them from asking what is wrong, or what’s bothering me, because honestly, I don’t know. It must be everything that has been going around, it must be the people around me, it must be the absence of certain people or it must be just me. Faith is the only thing that keeps me sane, it keeps me holding on, that God will not forsake me. He has a better plan, it is already written, all I have to do is to figure it out. I will be a better person today because of the experience of many yesterdays. :)

Pasok sa Budget Food Spots in Taytay

There are so many fast food chains all over Taytay, in fact there are 5 Jollibees, 3 Chowkings, 2 Max’s, 2 Red Ribbons, and 2 McDonalds and so on and so forth. So looking for a place to eat to satisfy your cravings is not a problem. But if you want something other than the usual fastfood menus, there are equally good places to go to that you can only find here in Taytay. ;p

I would like to rank them but I really can’t tell which one is the better thn the other, but I guaranty that every place is worth the visit.

* Mealbox Atbp. Foodhouse

image

image

Beef Budbod at 50php with banana on the side is a must try. You can get your car washed while eating too! Since it is a car wash with a cafeteria, it is located a few steps away from John Sunga’s salon. :)

* Budbod sa Kanto ng TU 

image

at 32php mixed all Budbod and 10php gulaman ayos na! It has a BBQ stand near it, (the one with an electric fan in the pic) 10php per stick isn’t bad. At peak hours you’ll have to wait for a free table since every table is occupied mostly at around 3-5pm and 7-8pm. Budbod sa Kanto ng TU is located a few steps away from Mealbox Atbp. Foodhouse. :)

* Pay & Eat Food & Snack

image

Pay & Eat Food & Snack located in front of CSJ building. Pork budbod 40php is a must try, they offer short orders and meryenda meals.

* Binalot Pancitan Atbp.

image

image

Binalot’s Lechon kawali is to-die-for! Sinfully delicious perfect with Mang Tomas, this is not for people who suffers high-blood pressure, I get dizzy after finishing a meal HAHA! At 38php it tastes better than the original Binalot I bought at Shangri-La. Located near Video City and Ate Kat’s Eatery.

* Balsilog Taplusog

image


image

Porksilog 35php and Pansit Canton at 55php. Solve! Balsilog Taplusog is owned by our friend Jerome “Balong” Bernales. Located at Kapalaran Hiway, it has all kinds of silogs and short orders, he boasts of his Crispy Pata but we haven’t tried that one yet.

* Banny’s Food Station

image

image

image

Banny’s a 24 hour Food station has one of the best Tapsilog you’ll ever taste. 50php for an order plus a bottle of Sprite, oooh perfect! It is located near “Goat for sale” and The Gate at Taytay Hi-way, and since it’s open 24 hours, this is one place you can go to whenever you’re craving for Tapsilog. :) Banny’s Banny’s Banny’s!

* Tita Betty’s Gotohan sa Monteverde

image


image

Beed Budbod 40php and Tokwa’t Baboy 25php is my favorite everytime I visit Tita Betty’s. Their Special Goto is priced at 25php. I remember eating here since I was a child. It has been serving Taytayenos for a couple of years now, Tita Betty is an institution I must say. Located near Puregold Taytay Monteverde. :)

* El Pedro’s Grill

image

image

image

Located at the other end of Tita Betty’s Gotohan is El Pedro’s Grill, they offer alcoholic beverages that makes it a little different from others, you have the option if you want to eat outside with soft cushions making you feel like home. At 50php you can order ShangHai Budbod, their servings are large enough to fill your starving tummies. :)

* Canterberry

image

image

image

Canterberry’s Carbonara is the best! Priced at 40php with a Lechon Kawali meal at 50php Super Busog! :p The place is cozy and big, they have a clean restroom and a big parking lot. This has to be one of the nicest place to eat here in Taytay. They have a wide range of selections from pulutan to lunch meals and desserts. A great tambay spot for barkadas, big or small. :) Make sure to visit Canterberry from Mon-Sat because they are closed on Sundays.

From all these food stations/eatery/restaurant whatever you may call it, Taytay has a variety of places to choose from. Enough if the usual fast food chains, it’s time to visit local businesses around the area. It’s cheaper and some of them are even better. :D

Hachiko A Dogs Story

I’ve heard so may good things about this movie from different people, the other day I finally got the chance to download it from torrent. Thank God for torrent, it is such a blessing. :) My connection sucks and it took a day to download a 700kb file. Gaaahd! Anyway, I was able to watch it yesterday, since I’ve heard the story from different people, I already know what to expect from it, I even know the plot of the movie. I never expected it to touch me that way though, I am not a dog lover, not an animal lover, but don’t get me wrong, I am not cruel to them, I just don’t like to pet them.

Hachiko was based from a true story way back from 1923. Based on the movie Hachiko was supposed to be sent somewhere but ended up being left at the train station. Parker (Played by Richard Gere) , a college professor found him and decided to take him home temporarily, his wife Cate (played by Joan Allen) didn’t want the idea of having the dog in the house, they tried every way possible to find the owner of the dog but no one came up. As days passed by, Cate decided to keep the puppy with them as she noticed that his husband, Parker, grew closer and closer with Hachi. That scene made my heart melt, awww what a loving wife. One day as Professor Parker was leaving for work Hachi sneaked out to go with him at the train station, he walked him home but Hachi keeps on coming back, so he decided to walk through the train station with his dog every morning. Hachi on the other hand sneaks out every afternoon to see his master arrive at the staion safely and walk with him home. It has been that way since then. One morning, as the professor was leaving for work, Hachi refuses to walk with him, he was confused but decided to walk alone and leave the dog at home. But Hachi chased him, and brought the ball to play fetch the ball, pleased and surpirised as he may seem, he left Hachi at the train station to go to work. As Professor Parker was teaching his students he suffered a heart attack. Hachi patiently waits for his master at the train station, not knowing that Professor Parker will never come back. The Professor’s daughter came to get  him but he keeps on coming back to the station hoping that Mr.Parker will come back. It has been that way for 9 long years. I just can’t imagine the loyalty, and the patience that Hachi showed everyone who passes by the train station every single day. He waited until he can, Hachi passed away still waiting for his master.

The relentless loyalty Hachi showed everyone should inspire us to be faithful and be a good friend. He was recognized and he got attention from the media. A bronze statue was built at the Shibuya train station, the station where he patiently waited for 9 years. Here’s some photo I googled.

the dog who played Hachi in the movie.

image

A picture of the real Hachi I got from Google.

image

The dog’s breed was Akita ( Click here for info ) was said to be one of the oldest native dog.

The movie was great, touching and simple, but the simple story of a dog will surely touch your heart. Dog lover or not, the movie will teach you how to appreciate dogs. It will make you realize so many things, love is unconditional, love is loyalty, love is faithfulness, love is eternal. In a world full of mundane individuals, people often times neglect the real meaning of happiness, the real meaning of love. Love is not all about giving away material things, it’s not about worldly possessions, it’s all about having a great family and loving friends. At the end of the day, their undying devotion will push you through and your legacy that will forever remain in their hearts.

Valentine's day; not only for couples.

Saint Valentine’s Day! Oftenly shortened as Valentine’s day. Celebrated every 14th of February, celebration of love, affection, intimate relation and romance. Lovers look forward on spending this day together, going on dates, walking on parks, watching a movie, or just anything cheesy. But this day isn’t just for those who have partners, not just for those people who are in love with their bf’s or gf’s, it is for everyone who feels that they are not alone, who knows that there are people who cares, for those people who know that there is someone out there for them. Do you believe that there is someone for you? I do.

While we were waiting for that someone, we can spend Valentine’s day being bitter for those who already found theirs, CHOS. HAHA. Kidding aside, why don’t we just spend the day with our siblings, our parents, or our friends who are still single?Valentine’s day is not only for couples, it is for every single one of us. It is a celebration of love, everybody is in love, with life, with theirself, or with someone who doesn’t realized it yet. It might be better celebrating it with a special someone, but if that someone isn’t the one for you, it is another Valentine’s day spent with the wrong one, isn’t it better celebrating Valentine’s waiting for the right one? Optimism.

I’m happy to know that my friends are spending it with the one they love, the one they truly care about, the one who they like to spend their lives with. But for those who are still single, just keep on believing, you don’t have to rush things. Dadating din sya, at sa panahon iyon ay handang handa ka na. I remember this line from one of my favorite series, One Tree Hill and I quote. “It’s all about taking chances, and believing in the possibility, even when life has given you every reason not to believe”. Enough said.

Lola Lourdes : A prisoner in her own house

As I was flipping through TV channels last night looking for something worth watching, an episode of XXX on Studio 23 caught my attention. It is a documentation of the rescue and the story of an 85year old woman who was battered by her family, yes, her FAMILY!

Someone, whom I think a neighbor of the fam took an amateur video using his phone’s camera, a video of a woman locked up in what seems like a dog’s cage,only bigger, chewing up a piece of wood. The next scene, a man beating up the caged elder, shouting and continuously hitting her with a stick, all you can hear was “Aray ko, aray ko..” Coming from a woman that old, I felt anger, I felt terrible, I felt sad. The man was said to be the woman’s son-in-law, her daughter’s husband. But, as infuriating as it may seem, the worst is yet to come, the next video shows a woman about 35-40year old I think,beating up the old lady which in this case, is her Mom. This is not normal, this should stop!

The rescue operation was set and planned by the XXX team and police officers on the area. The daughter of the victim was interviewed by the host, asking her why they did that (not the exact words but it goes like this) “Lagi sya lumalabas, ilang beses na syang naaksidente” So kaya sya ikinulong? Is that the only option? Ugh! That was an unacceptable excuse! Lame! She was asked, if she still loves her Mom, she started crying “Oo naman, mahal ko yan, sya nagpaaral sakin eh”. That’s it! The old woman that she’s beating is her mom, who undoubtedly did everything she can to put her to school and even finish a college degree. The rescued woman was interviewed, she was asked why does she thinks her daughter and his son-in-law hits her, she said “ewan ko sa kanila, wala naman akong ginagawa”. Exactly the point, wala sya ginagawa, at wala syang kalabanlaban. “Mahal nyo po ba ang anak nyo?” she said “Oo”. The woman was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, it may be an advantage on her part, to forget the things that hurt, para hindi maalala na minsan sa buhay nya, ang anak na minahal nya, pinalaki at inaruga, ay kayang gawing saktan sya. Her innocent heart and mind touched me. Made me realize how I love my parents, not in anyway I can do that to them.

How can a son/daughter do that (hitting) to his/her parents especially a mom, that old, weak in every aspect. God forbids, but I dont want them to experience the same cruelty that they did to her mom. Nobody deserves to be beaten up, to be locked up in a cage, to be mistreated. I still want to believe that every person has a good heart. No matter what they did, I hope they will realize that what they did was wrong, to find in their hearts to say sorry, or even repent for their actions.

Sa Kandungan Ni Inay : A True Story

Last night, I was on my way to Mcdonalds for a “gusto-ko-lang-kumain-snack”. I went to the Tropical branch instead of the Mcdonald’s nearby, again, “gusto ko lang maiba”. Normal jeepney ride, patigil tigil, mabagal, waiting for a passenger on every street possible. It doesn’t bother me, im not in a rush, kailangan nyang kumita, I understand. But the next scene touched my heart, and made me feel a bit guilty in a way. A mother about 40 with her daughter which I think is on her 2nd year high school, still wearing her uniform rode the jeep, I was a bit confused why they were scrunching themselves just to occupy a single space, daughter sitting in her mother’s lap, she looks embarrassed, I can tell by the look on her face that she was uncomfortable. What made it even  more strange is that the jeep barely have passengers in it, meaning, they have all the space that they need for them to sit properly. Though this high school girl is super thin, I guess she’s underweight, I know it’s hard for her mom to carry all the weight in her lap ‘coz she’s equally thin herself, I wanted to say “Manang paupuin nyo pa po, I’ll pay for her na lang.” But I guess, it would be awkward, their situation might catch more attention than they already had. I acted like it was normal, til the next “awwww” moment which made me realize that every person has a good heart. Manong Jeepney driver said “Paupuin nyo pa po, kawawa naman, sasakit ang tuhod nyan.” Manang said “Hindi okay lang po” but I know she wanted to say thank you. Nonetheless, I realized how important it is to spend our money wisely, for some people are sacrificing their comfort just to save a little amount such as an 8php jeepney fare. For us to value our parents, who are willing to bear anything just to save something, just to make our lives more comfortable than them. How can people on the government steal and pocket millions of pesos from every filipino’s hard earned money? living in luxury while some are struggling to survive a single meal everyday.

Dahil dyan, hindi na ako kumain sa Mcdo, CHOS! Kumain pa rin ako, pero sa bawat subo ko ng french fries, iniisip ko na ang bawat bagay na binibili ko,ay dapat mga bagay na kailangan ko,mga bagay na hindi ko lang gusto ngunit mga bagay na pakikinabangan ko. BOW!

Pond's Black Carbon Facial Wash

This is my first blog entry that will feature a product, more specifically a beauty product. We should all take care of our body’s biggest organ, which is our skin. I’ve been negligent about my skin, I used to go visit my dermatologist (Dr. Zaida de Lumen) twice a month for pricking, super painful but it’s all worth in the end of the procedure. Voila, after a few months of religiously visiting the doctor for a twice a month session, thank God, my pimples we’re all gone. Since then, I’ve been trying to keep my skin soft, silky and pimple free. CHOS! On a serious note, frequent visit to the dermatologist is really effective, but it’s too pricey. Plus, continuously peeling my skin makes me look like a kabuki (that was not me, it’s just a photo I got from google). I am close to being moreno, I can’t have a white face and a dark body. So I stopped. It’s been more than a year since I stopped visiting my doctor. But since then my skin was better, no pimple world war on my face, minsan may isa or dalawa, but not like before that my face was covered with pimples, OA ako (marami lang but not to the point that it’s been covering up my face). But, 2 weeks ago, might be due to stress and I frequently stay up late, lack of sleep and maybe just because I havent been cleaning it before I go to sleep as much as I need to, my pimples came back, and they are back with a vengeance! So I decided to go to the nearest Watsons Store for the hunt of a facial wash.

image

Found this Pond’s new black charcoal facial wash.

image

I find it interesting to see a facial wash in a black packaging, “it is the first of its kind to be formulated with activated carbon, which works with “black attracts black”. Carbon when heated or activated because 8x porous;hence, increasing its ability to detoxify and gently exfoliate while retaining the needed moisture.”

I’ve been using it for almost a week now, you can really feel that you’re skin is clean and smooth after every after wash. It’s like washing your face and toning it after. Trust me, it’s the same feeling I get when I use my toner that my dermatologist gave me. It’s like your skin is tightening and oil free. But of course, I am still not sure with the results, maybe after a month or two. But you should try it yourself. What worked for me may not work for you and vice versa. But for me, i’ll continuously use the product and hope for a great result. :)

Kamayan Resort Quezon

Being born and raised in Taytay my whole life, my Mom and Dad both from Taytay too, I can say I am a full pledge Taytayeno. Though Taytay is considered a province, it has none of the qualities of the usual “province” in my own perspective, fresh air, unpopulated roads, lots of trees, and the simplicity of people in the vicinity. So whenever my Aunt’s family decides to go and visit their province I usually make “sabit”. Quezon,home of the famous Habhab pansit (photo on the link, it was exactly how it was supposed to be eaten) and the Pahiyas Festival a colorful feast particularly in Lucban, in honor of the San Isidro Labrador, houses are decorated with kiping these are rice wafers made from rice dough covered with different colors and tastes,yes, it is edible, haven’t tried one but base on the looks of it, I guess, it tastes good too. Enough of the food part, it makes me hungry.

Last January 29, 5:30am my sister waking me up, saying my cousin Gerald was picking me up coz we’re going to Quezon, I was like, “Huh?”. I was not informed at all, fresh from the inuman on a friday night, I had barely 3 hours of sleep. I packed my bag and yes, sumama pa rin ako not knowing hanggang kailan, and what we’ll do there. I have my wallet but it has 231php left from the shopping Apol and I did at Greenhills the day before. While we’re on our way, Tweeting, I realized that my battery on both phones are low, CRAP! I left my chargers! I am so disappointed. How will I be able to survive without tweeting? OA, CHOS! But seriously, as over acting as I may sound, I am mad at myself. If I had a choice I’d rather left my briefs, or some of my shirts than my chargers. I need them. BADTRIP!

I hitched in at Ruben’s Pajero, it was the old type of Pajero, not sure what year model it is, but maaahn, it was well taken cared of, all power, automatic baby! it was a great ride! If only Ruben will give that to me, I’d be the happiest person alive! Well, that’s far from happening though. :)

And here we go,

Habhab, breakfast on the road, I can’t eat it the way it was supposed to be eaten, so nagtiis ako til we get there, I need a fork! Mahirap! Matinding pagsubok.

The trip was tiring, all packed in two days, but it was fun, the weather was cold, it’s as if we went to Baguio. I got colds and cough from swimming. Up to now while writing this blog, im sniffing, coughing and I have a sore throat. I guess swimming in that kind of weather is not advisable eh? Til the next trip! :)

Easy Breezy Tagaytay

January 22, 2011

We planned this dinner/night out (Aub, Jhitty, Dicky and I) at Katip and visit Tenti na rin at her condo. We were all excited, we havent went out for so long altogether. But then again, as she usually do, Jhit texted us last minute that she might not be able to come coz she’s suffering from typhoid fever. She’ll text us na lang daw if she can make it to dinner after work, and voila, are plan was ruined. So, Aub and I decided to meet each other earlier than planned to have coffee and for me to work on my photo blog (Boracay Blog). As always,  I didn’t stopped talking, I wasn’t able to finish a thing, but I’ve shared a lot of stories. ;) At 10:30 Aub and I decided to pick Dicky up, as we were waiting for Jhita this signboard caught our attention.

image

The three lions, Aub’s car pets.. :)

image

image

Dicky, our designated driver.

We’re on our way to Katipunan, then suddenly Tagaytay topic came up,we all agreed upon going to Tagaytay instead, we took the nearest U-turn and decided to take our simple dinner to the next level.

image

first stop over, we need a restrooooom!.. :)

image

Then we searched for a place to eat, I guess at 2am you’re left with few choices, a few kilometers away, we found Viewsite Restaurant.

#Out of Town
Boracay 2010

Months before Gen’s arrival and the scheduled date of the summer trip we were all excited looking for a place for the trip. Palawan, Bohol and Cebu were few of the choices we had, but we ended up going to Boracay, and it was worth it. :D

Here are some photos of the trip.

Adventures and my misadventures on Boracay 2010.

Day 1:

Here we are waiting in vain! HAHA. Pero all smiles pa din.

image

We waited for the van who will take us to the airport, everyone was on time, except for the driver. ;) we waited for like 3 hours. We thought we won’t gonna make it to the airport. Then, nahatid kame sa wrong airport so we took another taxi ride in which may nakaaway pa driver namin on our way to the domestic airport (we pleaded him na wag ng patulan coz we might not make it on time if he does).

image

We made it,thank God our flight was delayed. :)

image

image

image

and we’re on our way. weeeeeeee!

image

image

Kalibo airport. :)

image

image

waiting for our banka.. :D

image

image

image

after ilang transfer, and so many hours of travel, we finally reached the hotel.

image

i don’t know why Tumblr post my photos this way.. but here it is..

La Carmela de Boracay. :)

image

image

image

image

Finally, successful! haha! nakababa rin ako. I almost gave up, nainggit lang ako that the frist batch (the batch na dapat ako ang kasabay but di ako makababa baba) are so happy at nagkwekwento on what they saw underwater. I was thinking “Hindi ako magpapatalo” Chos! I just thought it’s worth the try.

image

wow smile na smile ako, eh samantalang hindi ako makababa nun una.. HAHA

I got this wild ATV.. Im not hitting the gas pero umaandar pa rin sya ng kusa, then MALAS na naman, i hit a minivan and this Japanese guy was asking me why I hit their van. (kasalanan ko kuya? ginusto ko ba?) Traumatized with what happened I decided to just ride the ATV with that boy in brown as my driver. whew!

image

The couple, sweet pa rin kahit nagdrive na.. :)

I decided to ride with Gen on our way back and try on the cart. Pero pag minamalas ka nga naman, Gen sucks as a driver, we almost hit an american couple, nasemplang sila because of us, they followed us, nagwala ang amerikana sa harap namin, showing her bruises and saying things I cant fathom, I thought aabot sa pisikalan.. HAHA

Before we head home, we’re off to buy some pasalubong for our friends and family back in Manila.

Whew! Manila, we’re back. This trip was one of a kind! I will never forget our first trip to Bora. With all the misadventures I had, I still find this trip one of the best ever. I love Boracay, I love being there with my friends, til the next out of town trip. :)
