Symphony of Lights

 

I wasn't feeling well this December. I got a bad colds and flu, added to that a severe tonsillitis for more than 2 weeks. So, I was glued to my bed most of the time. I wasn't even able to attend two Christmas parties. I missed a lot of activities this Christmas time. So I decided to go to my hometown to have some break and celebrate the holidays with my parents.

A day before living the city, I invited my friends to watch the dancing lights in Ayala Triangle Park in Makati. It is just across my office building in Paseo de Roxas street.

360,000 LED Christmas light bulbs dances while the music play. It is called "Symphony of Lights" that runs every 30 minutes from 6pm to 9pm every day. I love watching as the lights changes into different colors while the music play. I forgot that I have fever and colds that night.

This show really brings out the spirit of Christmas.

My new "BB"

I finally got my new Blackberry phone, it's a Blackberry Bold 9700.

Before, I am just wanting the Blackberry Curve 9300, but after reading some reviews in the internet, I choose to buy this one. It's thin, feels good in my hand, and looks so elegant. This is my first time having a blackberry phone. I enjoy surfing the net, I can check my emails, post facebook and twitter shoutouts anywhere, any time. It's fast and the screen display is impressive!

It's just 2 days since I had this phone, so I have lots of exploring thing to do with my new phone, I will try taking some photos, too and will post them soon.

Must go somewhere else...

Whites and Greens Beach Resort; Panglao Island, Philippines

The weather got so weird and unpredictable these past weeks. Yesterday, it's so hot and humid and then suddenly its been raining the whole day. We've been planning for another hiking activities and we cancelled it 4 times because of this weird weather. And every time I see this picture, I am so longing for a long sunny weekend so that we can go to the beach or we can hike the nearby mountain.

By the way I took this picture early in the morning, last August this year, minutes before we went for dolphin watching. I love this place, I miss the white sand, the morning breeze and the sound of the waves. And oh, I miss watching the sunshine.

Its Christmas season already and there is no way that we can go for another outdoor activities because everybody is busy making their Christmas shopping lists. I myself is done making a list of gifts to buy.

But anyhow, I am looking forward to a summer weather so that we can go anywhere we want.

Goodbye Body Pain

Most people will agree with me when I say that after a day’s work, your energy is drained, what’s left is body pain particularly in the neck, shoulder, arms and legs. It’s becoming a routine and while some of us ignore it, some resorts to the obvious solution - pain relievers across the counter. But the problem is, its affectivity doesn’t last long.

I’ve been suffering this shoulder pain for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried many products, even medical gadgets that promises ease of pain but didn’t work for me. A friend of mine told me about this product, it is called LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator from LGMedSupply. She just bought and told me that it’s very effective. I doubted at first because I thought, that’s just one of those products. But then I said, "okay fine, let’s try". It really worked! I’ve never felt more relaxed and replenished. I feel like I’m in a spa. I’m using it every night and had a great sleep since then.




So to all of you who have the same dilemma like mine, try these Muscle Stimulators and Tens Units for pain relief. I guarantee it’s effective. Many have given their testimonials too. Proofs how they get the best out of their life, the balance of work and leisure they now enjoy, less travel to see the Doctor and less medical bills.

Cost effective and safe, you got nothing to lose. Your money will not put to waste.. it’s small and portable, you can forgot you have it in your body.

Visit LGMedSupply Online, choose the combo that you need, order now and live a good and balanced life!

Sagada Trip - Day 2

I haven't updated my blog for a while. Still, I got busy at work. But anyway, here are the rest of the photos I had on our Sagada Trip last summer.



Lumiang Cave
There are more burial caves here in Sagada but these are the only two caves that we visited. Lumiang Cave "The Small Cave" is a sacred burial cave for ancient Sagadians. Coffins are placed in the entrance of the cave.









Sumaguing Cave
This is of the most popular cave here in Sagada. Sumaguing Cave "The Big Cave" has the largest chamber of all connection caves in this town. We had the best adventure here.

3 days is not enough, we haven't visited the Sagada's Marlboro Country, The blue Soil, Underground River, more caves and other serene places here. I hope I can go back to this town again soon.

WW - It's a Blue Wednesday

I feel blue... I think the sky is telling how I feel. Decided to go to the bay area to take a good shot of a beautiful sunset.

I saw a beautiful blue sky when I arrived there...

It gets "bluer than blue" after a few hour.


It's a beautiful day after all!

Sagada Adventure - Day 1

We went to Sagada last first week of this month. Sagada is in the northern part of the country, in the Mountain Province. This place is famous for trekking, spelunking, and other outdoor activities. Although I suffered severe body pain because I am not used to walk for a long hours, climb up and down the cliff, hills, and including exploring the caves, I enjoyed my whole time while I was there.



One thing I love this place is the weather and the Pine Trees! When we are there, the weather reached as low as 9degrees early in the morning and about 14-15degrees at night. I love cold weather!

It was a 6hrs bus ride from manila to Baguio and another 6 hrs bus ride from Baguio to Sagada Province. We arrived the town proper at past noon and as soon as we reached our Inn, we hurriedly ate our lunch and get ready for the first day adventure. It was quite a cold and drizzly noon when we got there. The first place in our itinerary is the Hanging Coffins.


The sign going to Echo Valley and Hanging Coffins.

We passed by a Cemetery on our way.


One thing I noticed is that, people in Sagada use pith wood instead of candles when they visit their dead relatives.


Going to Echo Valley.


We walked for about an hour. Echo Valley is the home of Hanging Coffins. The name Echo Valley is literally means the "bouncing of sounds unto the walls of the Limestone Valley".

Enjoying the view of the valley before we stepped down to see the Hanging Coffins.




The Hanging Coffins


After going to Echo Valley and Hanging Coffins, we visited The Episcopal Church of Saint Mary the Virgin. Sagada has only Philippine town that is predominantly Protestant with almost 95% baptized into the Episcopal Church. They celebrated 100th anniversary last 2001.

It was raining when we reached St. Mary's Church. We decided to go back to our Inn, take a good rest and regained our strength for the next day adventure.

Earth Hour 2011

On Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:30PM, switch off our lights for an hour. Let's support this worldwide event. By doing this, we can show the world that are aware of what we can do to save energy.

Global warming seems to be an inevitable thing that's happening now, but somehow we can still do and commit to this kind of event to save our world.

Check Earth Hour website for more info.

Super Full Moon

I hope I could have some time tomorrow night to take a look at the beautiful moon. Tomorrow, we will see the super full moon, the moon is going to be 14% bigger than usual and it will bring extra-high "perigean tides" but there is nothing to worry about. The moon will be 356,575km from the earth, making it 7% closer than average. This phenomenon takes place once every 18 years or so, according to the scientists.

I think this will be a perfect time to grab your camera and take a great shot with this beautiful super full moon!

WW - Flowers are in Bloom

I fell in love with these lovely flowers when we go to Baguio last weekend to watch last day of Panagbenga Festival or Flower Festival. I had a great day with my friends!

Post Birthday Party

I want to call this a Masquerade Party! This is actually a surprise birthday party for our friend.


We rented a private resort, in Pansol, Laguna. It is so affordable and had a great accommodation. We place a a pool, great 2 air conditioned rooms, 2 restrooms, our own kitchen, fridge and stove. We even have our own Videoke machine. This place just cost us P3,000.00 overnight!


We just bought junk foods, fruits and drinks. And we bought our dinner in "Binalot sa Dahon" Restaurant.


This is my favorite, Lechon Manok!

WE had a great time the whole night. We sing-a-long and had some games with prizes.

Planning for the Next Adventure

I am very happy that I finally had time for outdoors activities. Last week, we went for a 3 days and 2 nights adventure in the Mountain Province. It's in the north side of the country. I love our trekking and spelunking activities. And I find it so addicting. I'll tell you all about our last week adventure soon, I am just preparing all the photos and I will share them all to you. I was a bit disappointed because we missed the big bonfire and the sunset, because it rains every afternoon.

Anyway, here is our next plan. We are planning to go a minor hiking and over night camping in the nearby province next month. We decided to bring tarp so that we can build a bigger tent unlike the small dome tent.



It is very practical to use tarps it is thicker, light weight and versatile. Not only that, tarp, especially the Blue poly tarp have rust resistant grommets, heat sealed seams, rope reinforced hems, mildew resistant, rot resistant, waterproof, tear and acid resistant. I am planning to buy the blue tarp for our over night camping next month.

I am very excited and hoping it won't rain on that day.

Your HCG

One of the most concern of women is losing weight. We are all conscious about how we look every time we stepped out from our home. Because we want to look beautiful to everybody. But, its always been an issue for women to loss weight, as well as to maintain the body weight that they want, especially for women who work in an office who sit down for a long hours and requires less walking or moving. This kind of job is one of the reason why women tend to gain weight faster.

I myself, is having hard time to maintain the body weight that is just right for me. Although I used to walk my way going to work, it seems like walking is not enough. I have lots of things to do after working full time in an office and going to the gym is not on my list for now. The only thing I know that could help me loss some weight is to take some medications or supplements that is safe, very effective, and will not require me to do some exercise.

Just like HCG diet. This kind of diet treatment or method is really new for me, honestly. This is a great option when you want inexpensive and pain free kind of diet treatment. With HCG, all I have to do is to place HCG drops under the tongue six times a day and it can help lose 1 to 2 pounds a day without exercise!

HCG is really the answer for me, I must say. This is perfect for anyone who
is busy and had no time going to the gym.

Transformer 3 - Dark of the Moon [First Teaser Trailer]

I can;t wait for the Transformer 3! This looks so awesome!!! And oh, I am curious seeing this new "girl" the replacement of Megan Fox. She looks so hot! Well, of course they'll always going to choice a super hot gal for this movie, but this girl is a model and no acting experience. The name is Rosie Huntington Whitely.



Plot of Transformers 3 Dark of The Moon:
"The Autobots Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There’s new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime Transformers character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth."

A Time to Heal

This photo was featured in a University magazine. Scholars from Department of Science and Technology and Philippine Normal University asked my permission to use one of my photo for their school publications.



A Time to Heal is the title of the article. I took this photo last summer when I had a 1 week vacation in my hometown. The water is so cold and fresh. I miss my hometown and looking forward to go back home this coming summer.

Happy 1-1-11!!!

Oh crap, its been a while since my last update. I was busy doing my online job, I got 2 contracts, one is uploading products to an ecommerce website and the other one is data mining & data entry with google documents. I spent the remaining weeks of 2010 working 16 hours a day from Monday to Sunday. And, I can't believe how time flies!

Well, 2010 was a tough year for me, in fact the most challenging year for me. I started the year 2010 desperate and confused. But I never expected how things slowly changed. After summer things started to get better. I started to do the things I desire -- photography, started to travel and do some island hopping, I'm also got a part time online job! These things are just what I've been wishing to happen, and it is happening now! :)

This year 2011, I started it with lots of blessings!


My sister took a photo of me while I'm drunk.
