A whole new world!

What is it like to spending summer time in the Philippines ? Getting what I meant? Yea, missing the summer activities and the weather, though it doesn't just gets warmer ...but hotter. :) Summer is always fun in the Philippines , as everybody have their own plans to getaway/outing with families, friends and organization or companies. I always love summer time...for one it such a bliss to be somewhere closer to the sea and nature ...and neither you're with your family or friends. It just gives me a luxury of being at rest...a time that we stop planning, thinking and just as we are...laughing, eating or trying some water sports or beach activities. It's very refreshing. So, remember guys keep away from all your tech gadgets while on the beach or while having your summer getaway. :) Enjoy your summer!!! Some nice beaches we have in the Philippines . Stay away from getting sun burn folks! Have fun this hot summer time!

When summer is coming and when you thought about vacations, I always thought of the place where I grew up. Legazpi, Albay , which is a city and capital of the province of Albay, Philippines. If we talk about Legazpi, we're known for spicy foods and coconut. Also, we're made famous because of Mayon Volcano the Philippines' most active volcano (well I still have a fresh memories about its eruption) and is considered to be the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetrical cone. You can perfectly see Mayon Volcano with the very historical sunken church of Cagsawa. This church, was built after 1724 was buried by rocks and lava during the eruption of Mayon Volcano on February 1, 1814. What I liked about our place is that, it's accessible by land, water and sea. There are so many bus transportation companies. There are 3 major airlines that flies to Legazpi, Philippine airlines has 10 flights a week, and Cebu Pacific flies twice daily from Manila and the ...

Few weeks ago ... I had a chance to explore laptop.org from an email and finally join their support-team. This organization reminded me of our SFC service Gawad Kalinga (To give care)which give homes and care to the homeless. The OLPC (One laptop per child)organization is also a non-profit organization which I believed will open doors to many young kids around the world...in which they'll have a chance to gain new skills and perspective. This was so timely for me, I was really looking for something productive to spend my time with, on the other hand it's with my interest and also, to where I can use my experience both in the academe and Information Technology. Truly the evolution of learning now is way too far compare when I was just starting to learn. :) The techno era and culture now brings so much opportunities for children to learn more and help them to think out of the box, not only that they have a chance to collaborate with out spending much or going anywhere. In w...

I know during lent, we all have the tendency to think that it's all about giving up food or vices. But I've received a very interesting way to fast ...and it doesn't entail cutting on food that for some a ...(sigh of relief) hehehe!... whoever is the author of this ...it's a brilliant idea...thanks!;) As a result,here are some creative ways to Welcome Jesus' healing touch. Here are some suggestions you may want to consider at least every once a year. :) 1. Fast from anger and hatred. Give your family an extra dose of love each day. 2. Fast from judging others. Before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults. 3. Fast from discouragement. Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect plan for your life. 4. Fast from complaining. When you find yourself about to complain,close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus hasgiven you. 5. Fast from resentment or bitterness!. Work on forgiving...

Marks the beginning of Lent or Kwarisma in Filipino. Where in on this day, Christian churches like the Catholics attend mass and receive ashes on their foreheads and the priest or lay ministers utter these words while putting the ashes " Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." Lent is a holy week in the Philippines it's mostly observed by Filipinos and Holy Thursday and Holy Friday are even declared as holidays. What is lent? as commonly known it's a 40-day liturgical season that begins today Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter Sunday. By the way Sunday is not included in the 40 days. Yes, because Sunday is where we celebrate mass and should be a joyful celebration.:) What is lent really? For me I always believed that we need this kind of season for its year. A season for reflection and repentance. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to evaluate where our life is going, what our response to God is like, and whether there is need for change in...

It's been a year now when I visited Bangkok. This is one of a kind travel that I had. There are so many bloopers happened on this travel. :) How can I forget this, just right at the check-in my sister Jing learned that her passport validity was less than 6 months, and they'll not let her travel with a less than 6 months validity passport, what's funny, it's only 2 days less. :( So, in short my sister missed to join us in this travel. Though part of me, I was asking why is it that you need to have a valid 6 months passport for traveling since you're just there for pleasure and you don't have any intention of traveling longer than 6 months ...so maybe they should re-visit that rule hehehe!...where in if you're just going for a pleasure trip you don't need to have a 6 months passport validity. :) But, anyway we still made this trip with my friend GG. Good thing she went with me or else I would be alone exploring the city or never made this trip. :) Ban...

Many says that it's an over rated celebration...I can't understand why they seems to be bitter about celebrating this. For one this is not just about romantic celebration. For me it's a chance for us to at least celebrate love ...lavishly for a day...though we can show it everyday!!! and it's not all about romantic love...it's for everyone with someone special, family or friends. So, no matter what is your ideology or perspective on Valentines day ... whether it's on roses or chocolates...though me I still prefer flowers over chocolate...they're just beautiful as it is. ;) it's all about showing your love to your love ones that counts. Happy Valentine's Day to all!!! Let me share this nice note on Love...from Kurt Nerburn: "Letters To My Son" It's a bit long but worth reading. "It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mys...
