Weekend in New England!

Boston is a place with so much character. You can tell by its old historical architecture and diverse people around. A pleasant place to go, the nearby neighborhoods that offers different ambiance and picturesque place that every tourist will enjoy. The historical places, the several firsts, like the Boston Library that I ended up staying for hours ...it's just staying in an ambiance of hotel...:) the first public school and the college (Harvard College). I've enjoyed also the artsy, hip and fab people around! I can say that it's because of the many colleges and universities within the city and surrounding area, that makes it always lively and busy.

But, of course I won't forget my first ride to the "T" (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)in which it's one of the first underground rapid transit system in the United States. In which, I was welcomed by a red alert fire alarm, wow! a welcome buzzz...:) and fortunately it just lasted an hour.

You'll not run out of things to do in Boston, the bike ride was fun, the local restaurants we tried and the dun tours that you can choose from. Oh...just look around for many free events from food tasting, concerts and parties. :)

I can say that Boston, just gives you freedom to be own your own and what you want to be kind place. :)

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

"Philippine Hospitality" is on TWB(Teacherswithoutborders)

Philippine Hospitality is one of the characteristic that stands out among Filipinos. This is a common trait that Filipinos are known for, especially to most foreigners who have traveled around the country. They will even go out of their way to ensure guest feels comfortable. I remember my mom would have a set of towels, blankets and other stuff prepared and reserved for visitors, given that we don't have much of those for us to use. But it is a primary and mandatory custom. Although we are not the only people in the world who can be friendly and welcoming, but this characteristic is exceptional among us. Actually, there's no country in Southeast Asia where foreigners are so well welcomed as in the Philippines . I know, Thailand , Japan or China are also hospitable, but remain distant. Compare to the Filipino hospitality where in our smile is not politely distant, it is spontaneous and from the heart. What really makes "Philippine Hospitality" exceptional? Here ...

US Political Candidates "Quote an Quote"...

As I read and listen to their speeches and promises ... :) I can say that politics is the same anywhere and everywhere it's all about P.O.L.I.T.I.C.S...O_o and I thought of capturing some of the quotes that really caught my attention... "I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country."- Sarah Palin “But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all."– Sarah Palin "Authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform." – Sarah Palin " This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory; except when he’s talking about his own campaign." - Sarah Palin “In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, who use their careers to promote change. – Sarah Palin "No success has come without a good fight." - John McCain ...

A whole new world!
