Its more on a personal decision. Its more on finding true happiness. Its not all about money, its not all about how people see you because of the way you dress, the color of your hair or where you came from.

Five months have past before I’d start to write over again. I am not a good writer and I don’t even love writing, in fact I always run out of ideas. But, I believe that it is through writing that I can express myself well without any interruption rather than telling someone.

Last January I resigned from a job which made me a home buddy for quite sometime. Two days have past, one of the rooms in the 2^nd floor where I stayed, was on fire due to leakage from gas tank. Luckily, no one was hurt however, every night I always had nightmares and was traumatized because of what had happened.
After, 2 weeks I accepted a job from Folares Pharmaceutical in Makati City because I just want to escape from the happenings and to have a new environment. So, I went to Manila for training even though I am very sure that it is against my will. I just want to try things out, to experience how it is to work in Makati, waking up early in the morning with the “sobrang-lamig-na-tubig” every time I take a bath, riding a bus, standing all through out from Buendia Station to Ayala Ave. because of passengers who’ll be working in the same place. It’s really quite tough for me; I haven’t gone this all my life and it’s just happening now. There are sleepless nights; studying, memorizing, texting, eating. All of these things I wanted to overcome but unfortunately I gave up and went home nothing. Because, of the fear of being alone and away from loved ones.
I went back my old place in Cebu, for the first 2 weeks that I came here, I can still remember the accident and it’s still fresh on my mind. I tried to do all the things to surmount it. I’ve been insomniac for almost a month. I kept praying every night until such time that I learned to forget the event and start all over again.

But It was a great experience anyway.

 

One of my favourite place that I visited in Manila was the Manila Ocean Park. It is amazing, indeed, on how beautiful the sea creatures are. A lot of people came there, from children to parents- who enjoyed what they experienced.

Very affordable, the ticket is only Php 400.

 

Manila Ocean Park is located behind the Quirino Grandstand, Luneta Park, Manila, Philippines. This is the very first and largest aquarium facility in the Philippines. You can experience a wide variety of species such as sharks, fishes and the like.

 

This is one of the featured creatures in Oceanarium.

 

The Entrance

When you want to visit the beautiful oceanarium, please observe this simple park rules before entering. Operating Hours Manila Ocean Park is open from 10am to 9pm, Mondays through Sundays. Proper Attire Slippers and sleeveless are not allowed inside the Oceanarium. *But opps! I wore slippers at that time Food and Beverages Candies, food, beverages are not allowed inside the oceanarium. Smoking Smoking is not allowed inside the ocenarium. Photography You can take pictures during your visit however, flash is not allowed as this scares the marine animals.

We all know that we don’t easily buy beauty products. Of course, nobody wants to compromise their looks by buying the wrong one. Every one of us dreams of having a nice and flawless skin. But the question is how can one achieve that perfect skin we’ve been dying to have?

Note: This applies to the facial areas only.

1. Wash
   In proper skin care, cleansing comes first. Here, I recommend Pond’s Acne Expert facial foam. It has a tea tree extract which deep cleans and reduce acne inflammation without drying skin and also with Vitamins C & E which is known to help reduce skin darkening.
2. Tone
   Use an alcohol-free toner. These will help remove the dirt and excess oils which can cause pimples, blackheads and white heads. It also helps the pores to look less visible.
3. Moisturize
   Finally, don’t forget to moisturize your skin to prevent it from drying. Use Pond’s white detox, it has triple sunscreen to protect from UVA and UVB rays. It helps the skin even-toned, smooth and rosy white.

With these three not-so-costly simple steps, you’re ready go out with your younger-looking skin.

As expected, the rain didn’t forget to bless the celebration. It’s present. My special someone had a feeling of not-feeling-very-well. But it doesn’t stop us from going out in the rain not only to witness (wetness?) ourselves on the streets.

 

Others stayed where they feel comfortable (but actually there’s no such comfy place at that time). People were moving from one place to the other just to have a better glimpse of the street performers. While the rest are either too busy having their henna tattoos done or were too tired to get themselves back into the place (if you know where that is).

 

 

Everybody, in whatever age range, witnessed the grand parade with a smile on their faces much like how I enjoyed colorful costumes and all the rest that the event had to offer.

It’s was my very first time to join the procession. Millions of devotees joined the procession last January 18 in honor of Sr. Santo Niño.

 

The traffic was not of vehicles but of people walking. People who endured the drizzle to honor and celebrate the little child. It’s very remarkable to see Cebuanos and other locals and even foreigners hand in hand in the celebration. To the left was umbrella and the rosary to the right.

 

I joined the procession to thank the Santo Niño for all the blessings, the prayers and good health that he has given me and my families as well.

Good day! Happy New Year! It’s New year once again, meaning new resolutions. But for me, I don’t want to have that. I want something that needs to be done. Something that will yield a result. A result that has a good outcome not just for myself as well as for others too.

Right now, I am very confused. I’ve been very unhappy since the time I was employed in my company (And don’t ask what company). It’s my 2nd serious job since then. I’ve been here for almost a year and half now. Meaning, I was unhappy for about 515 days in my life now. Wow! That’s ridiculous! (do not ask me why I’m unhappy). I kept on complaining about my co-employees and every one else in the office. One day I said to myself that I’m going to work in another company that’ll put a smile in my face. But how will I do that? I’m afraid of change, I’m afraid of everything. There’s a lot of “what ifs” coming out of my mind.

I cannot easily leave my company just like that. I can’t leave my assigned territory, I’ve started to love it, the people, especially my clients but not the people in the office (you may be wondering why I dislike them, but I just want to keep it to myself). Plus the fact that I have greater quota compared to my co-medreps, I am earning more. I’m undecided, and also, it’s hard to decide because I just came here from my lovely home town to look for better opportunities. But still I’m unhappy. Money cannot make me happy at all.

IMHO the problem is ME! Yes! I’m pointing to myself! I just realized that I am the problem not every one else. So, as for now, I have decided that I’m leaving my company for good and start all over again. I guess that would be my new year’s resolution in contradiction to what I’ve written somewhere in the first block of thought in these post.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Today, is the birthday of Christ. Let’s not forget to thank him for all the marvelous things happened to us. December 25, isn’t all about parties, food, reunions, shopping and all. It’s all about the birth of Christ that we should think of. On how thankful we are that he was born and saved mankind.

Christ is kind enough that he gave almost everything in us. It is just, we, people are blind, that what we are right now, is all because of Christ. W e don’t have the contentment, we always seek for another, we always ask for another and we sometimes forget that we are too demanding for what we ask to him and forget to say,” God thank you”….Thank you for creating us, and for giving us chances to be here and to share our stories to one another.

duh! I’m feeling bored. Huh! it’s not that easy to combat boredom. I’ve been bored since the time I went home for vacation. Maybe it is because I am used to wake up early in the morning, take a bath, prepare my breakfast and head straight to work. But now, I am useless…nothing to do..hmm

Today, i don’t know what to do.Really. I woke up 3:45am and attended the misa de gallo with my sisters and my mom. After we came from church, i watched the movie again  A BUG’S LIFE and after that i read a book ,then i tried myself to take a nap for a while but i cannot…so, i ate my breakfast.

Still, i felt bored so bored, that i decided to wash my clothes without using the power of washing machine.(In short, killing the time)LOL.

I couldn’t believe it i was able to have it done with the use of my hands.

And its because of boredom i was able to make this post…isn’t it great?!

la lang….

I took this photos upon going home to Sibulan. I can’t remember where exactly it is, but im pretty sure its almost near Santander.

I took it around 8 in the morning……..

The weather is fine and i love it.
