Best Dunk.. so far!

Just WOW!

Red Mango's FroYo

Finally, I got to taste frozen yogurt. Yes it was my first time ever to try this fad last Saturday after we watched Underworld. Glad to have tried it, better than ice cream (less guilt!) haha! 

I ordered original flavor with mango bits, blueberries, and crushed grahams - loved it!

I would definitely try other toppings next time!

"Funny" Night

That awkward feeling when someone asked if you ever had a boyfriend.. you said no, and you look someone sitting next to you and realized that he is the one you ever wish to be your boyfriend.

Pico De Loro Traverse!

Last January 14-15, we conquered Pico De Loro Traverse Ternate Cavite - Nasugbu Batangas. Oh what can I say? This is my second ever mountain climb. My first one is Mt. Makulot when I was still young, maybe 10 years ago. Because I am always hitting the gym, I am confident to go and try this new venture with my friends.

I have researched about this mountain prior the climb so I was prepared that it would be not easy as Pico de Loro they say it is one of the hardest for beginners. It's around 664 meters above sea level, still not that high but it was really rocky and steep. 

We bought our take out lunch in Jolibee Alabang then rode the jeep going to Cavite. Travel time is approximately 2 hours from Alabang. We then settled our payments, prayed, and quickly briefed by our group leader Ceejay Custodio. Afterwards, we are good to go.

The group started fast. Then after an hour, we settled and took our lunch. Then after the much needed lunch and rest, we started climbing again and after so many "take 5" (5 minutes rest), we then reached our campsite around 2:30pm. It was thankfully a sunny day. We arranged the tents and then rested. 

 

While some of my friends are taking pictures, I took a nap for about 3 hours. It was around 6pm when I woke up refreshed. Because there is no restroom in the mountains, I found it hard to take "wiwi" in the grass. Actually this is my hatest part of the trip. But yeah it is part of the mountain adventure. So it was around 7pm when we took our dinner c/o Ceejay and company. They prepared sisig and rice. Then I went inside the tent again, clean myself, and changed clothes. I am preparing to sleep when Ceejay told that it was time for socials. So we went to the group, took round of shots, then around maybe 10pm, we left the group and sleep. I thought it's gonna be easy but every hour I am waking because of the cold and hard back. Believe me it was really cold. I always change my sleeping position every hour. My only pillow are my 2 extra clothes. But then it was again part of this trip. It was around 8:30 am when I woke up for breakfast. 

 

Then we took pictures and prepared heading to the summit. It was just around 20 minutes of climb to the summit but it was hard. I literally used my bare hands going up. It was really hard. But after reaching the summit, I can't look around since I'm afraid of heights. I was just sitting and still grasping for air to breath. 

 

We stayed there around 20 minutes then it's time to go down. Going down was harder! Some parts we need to use rope for a 6feet jump. Gosh. It was about 3 hours going down. It was like a never-ending road. When we reach the end, I can see ChaTime already haha. I am imagining cold drinks. It was very tiring. My legs are shaking and I am very sweaty that I want to take a shower already.

After the traverse, we went to a beach in Nasugbu but instead of exploring the beach, we rested and waited for the lunch (Bulalo) prepared by Ceejay and friends. We are just talking and bonding while resting. During this time, I really want to go home and rest already. It was around 5pm when we left the beach and we are off to Manila. By this time, I am feeling headache and I can't sleep in the jeep. I had biogesic but still the headache won't go away. It was a 3 hours travel. Finally we are in Alabang. We rode the bus and said our goodbyes. I ate in Andok's in Guadalupe around 10:30pm then finally I'm home. 

After this adventure, I realized one thing - mountain climbing is not for me. Maybe because I am not that fit and of course, I have weak lungs. At least I tried this after a long time. I'm thankful that my friends never left me especially when I'm having a hard time climbing. So I guess I'm gonna pass to the future climbing invitations already.

Underworld: Awakening

I swear.. this is the best in the series so far! Must-watch movie! Glad to have watched it in cinema because it was so worth it! The plot and action scenes were great! Actually, if you haven't seen the 3 movie parts before this, you can still understand and enjoy the movie. Selene (Kate Beckinsale) was of course so gorgeous here. The movie was just 1 and a half hour but it is action packed you will really get hooked to it. I'm sure there will be Part 5 because it's pretty obvious how the film ended. There are so many things unanswered about Michael and their daughter (I didn't get her name). Anyway, for the fans of the Underworld franchise like me who’ve watched the first three movies, don't fail to watch this one - It would leave you craving for more.

Rafa Nadal in Aussie Finals!

Nadal won vs Federer. Who would be his finals foe? Hopefully it's Murray! =)

Blissful

If anybody is wondering what happiness is, here it is. Laying as close as physically possible with someone you love, nothing sexual, just laying there. The intimate moments when you look into their eyes not having to say anything because you know you are both thinking the same thing. You don’t have to say, you just feel. Feeling the world and every worry melt away as they touch you in the most gentle and innocent manner. It’s the moments when you look at them and find yourself at a loss for words because even the way they breathe amazes you. Being wrapped up in their arms and feeling invincible, yet completely vulnerable. Feeling their breath glide down your neck, and their arms around your waist as you run your fingers up and down their side, stunned in complete amazement that they would be here with you. When they kiss you and blood starts rushing through your veins and butterflies feel your entire body, but in the most peaceful and calming way. Being able to close your eyes and still feel the warmth of their heart beating, believing that nothing in this world can hurt you when you are by their side. Hearing them whisper, “I love you” and needing nothing more to be said because that is exactly what you wanted to hear. These words take on a new meaning for you, grasp you in a different way because of this one person who lies next to you, showing you exactly who they are and feeling just as vulnerable. Being able to say “I love you” back and meaning it with every atom in every inch of you, that is pure happiness.

Goodbye CDs and Cassettes

 

Time to say goodbye to all my CD and cassette tape collections. Will put everything in the box to free up space in my room. After all, I have my ipod to play all the music I want. It's like saying goodbye to my childhood already. Oh well, this is what modern technology can do to us. Until we meet again old school music.

I Still Love You

I guess the perfect title for this is "I Still Will Always Love You"


I say I want to let go of you but yet, I still search quotes which reminds me of you.


Why is it so hard? 


Instead of walking away from you, fate brings us closer each day. 


Every moment beside you, is as good as it gets.


Is this the worst thing to feel? 


Loving someone when you know you shouldn't anymore. 


Oh Cmon!

Westlife - Beautiful World

Just missing 'em.. Brings back my unforgettable highschool days..

Two of Us

Will there be a moment for you and me?


Just one moment alone.


I wanted to tell everything.

In the Name of Love

 

Surprise Surprise! In fairness "In the Name of Love" is worth-seeing and I won't share that much about the movie because it might spoil your experience. Well, it is a 2-hour movie so if you feel you will get bored, then don't watch it or you'll get lost. Try to watch it when you're in the mood (to cry? Haha.) I heard it took a year to make this movie and I wish all Filipino movie makers would take as much care in making films so the viewing public can enjoy great stories like this. I am actually not expecting anything from this movie. Well actually I'm expecting many Aga-Angel love scenes but no.. it's more of a drama/romance/suspense thing. I love how Angel and Aga played their role but I must admit, they don't have chemistry. Aga looks too old for Angel here. Still, the movie is a must see for me for a different touch. It's all about love - true and unconditional love. How much will you give to the one your love? The story is really heart breaking. This movie shows the variation of sacrifices that people make for the ones they love. You'll hate the fact that love  seriously makes us do crazy things. It even makes us forget about ourselves. Really. It also touched my heart that many times, I found myself crying. The movie was almost perfect except for the botched ending. 

Clap Clap to to this movie! Let’s have more of these kind of movies please.

Pusong-ligaw

I've been listening to this since hearing this in the film, "In the Name of Love" starring Angel, Aga, and Jake. Such a beautiful film with a good song.

Di kita malimutan
Sa mga gabing nagdaan
Ikaw ang pangarap
Nais kong makamtam
Sa buhay ko ay
Ikaw ang kahulugan
Pag-Ibig ko'y
Walang kamatayan
Ako'y umaasang
Muli kang mahagkan

Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ng
Pusong ligaw
Ikaw ang patutunguhan at
Pupuntahan
Pag ibig mo ang hanap ng
Pusong ligaw
Mula noon, bukas at
Kailanman

Ikaw at ako'y
Sinulat sa mga bituin
At ang langit
Sa gabi ang sumasalamin
Mayroong lungkot at pananabik
Kung wala ka'y kulang ang mga
Bituin
Aasa ako, (aasa ako)
Babalik(babalik)
Ang ligaya, 
Aking mithi(sa kin mata)
Hanggang sa muling(Hanggang)
Pagkikita(pagkikita)
Sasabihin mahal kita

Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ng
Pusong ligaw
Ikaw ang patutunguhan at
Pupuntahan
Pag ibig mo ang hanap ng
Pusong ligaw
Mula noon, bukas at

2012 Predictions: The World Will End on December 21, 2012

2012 predictions by superstitious groups made people believe “doomsday” is happening this year.

The New Age movement believes that the bloody-red moon that was seen around the world last December as the result of the rare lunar eclipse is the signal for the “2012 phenomenon” where a range of cataclysmic or transformative events will occur within a year–from the time the total lunar eclipse happened until December 21, 2012.

2012 is also regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed.

On a positive note, the New Age interpretation of this transition is that this date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. But many suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, or Earth’s collision with a black hole, passing asteroid or a planet called “Nibiru”.

On the other hand, scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea of such cataclysmic events occurring in 2012. Professional Mayanist scholars state that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the extant classic Maya accounts, and that the idea that the Long Count calendar “ends” in 2012 misrepresents Maya history and culture. Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the proposed events as pseudoscience, stating that they are contradicted by simple astronomical observations.

Christians, however, believes that there’s indeed what we call “doomsday” or the end of the world as stated in the Bible but it will come like a “thief in the night” so no single soul on earth can predict when it is going to happen.

Change in 2012

Skype-ing!

I just remembered my post before about Skype. I remembered how I told that my friend was again getting in touch to his ex-girlfriend thru Skype. When I first heard about it from a friend close to him, my initial reaction was, “Really? He’s getting back to his ex-girlfriend via Skype and chooses a long distance relationship over someone that he’s seeing in front of him everyday? Haha. Before I don’t believe it. I mean, cmon! Long distance? How can you even feel her touch? Her company? How can you kiss her? But yeah. Now I understood the feeling. I mean I must admit that Skype is one of the greatest inventions in the world. You can talk and see someone just like you’re in front of each other for real. I can’t believe I am using Skype now. I can’t believe that I am going to actually need it just to see someone and talk so that your day would be complete. You would do anything to get the free wi-fi access just to connect online. You even considered buying those unlimited wifi that will add to your monthly bills. I realized that it’s hard being away from someone you truly miss. Especially when you want to feel the person beside you but just can’t at the moment. But somehow, after your Skype sessions, you feel happy and satisfied than nothing at all. Somehow, it eases the longing. But of course, you still wish that you can be together for real. On the brighter side, you look forward each and every day for another Skype session. With this, your bond of communication gets stronger and intact. I think it is a must for every real relationship. It is a good foundation of a serious relationship. But can it work forever? I guess distance matters when there is trust issue. But you have no choice. Would you let go of the person you like? Or will you keep holding on to the possibility that there will come a time you will be together? For me, it’s just simple. Choose what will make you happy. Don’t think of the future but rather enjoy the present moment. Most importantly, throw away the negative instincts and don’t stress yourself too much thinking things. Seriously, it will make you cry and act like crazy. Just go with the flow. If someone broke the trust, then let go. So, thank you Skype for bringing us closer to our loved ones.
