2012 is my "Travel Year"

This is a collection of all tagged photos in Facebook that I chose to represent my 2012 travels. Not in chronological order. We went to several local destinations this year (actually, I'm having 2 more local trips this month. One in Anilao, Batangas for my MS 1 Field Trip and a Davao trip with my kumare Emma), and an international trip to Singapore. By New Year's day next year, we will be staying at Hong Kong for our baby's first international travel. He actually got his passport when he was 6 months, and we didn't have the chance to bring him abroad until now that he's 2 years old. 

This is the beachfront of Astoria Bohol. I love their service, meals, and of course the free wifi :D On our last night, we had a flying lantern experience. 

Photo taken by my sister-in-law in our trip to Bohol last June 7-10. My parents-in-law have a membership with  Club Astoria and we took the 4-day vacation at Astoria Bohol, one of the latest hotels there. Behind me and my husband is the Chocolate Hills view from Sagbayan Peak.

Ilocos Day 2 at Pagudpud beach :) My son Jethro is scared of the sea water and tells me that the sand is "dirty". It's his first time to the sea and I hope he enjoys the beach on our next trip.

This photo was taken in an old church in Ilocos. The sun is still hot at around 4 pm when we just got into Ilocos Norte enduring a 9-hour trip courtesy of Travellers Journey Travel and Tours. Our trip in Ilocos was from April 2-4.

This was taken somewhere in Corregidor in front of Mc Arthur's statue. We had this tour last March 31, as soon as my aunt from Canada came to visit. Day tour courtesy of Sun Cruises Philippines. I learned additional info about the Japanese occupation here.

We headed to the 17th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark, Pampanga last February 9-12 and stayed at Hotel Stotsenberg. 

Hotel Stotsenberg's lobby. Photo taken by my sister-in-law's phone. They had a nice buffet and the rooms are great. I also played in the casino there :D

 

This is one of our rare group pictures in Singapore last May 26-29. We had this photo taken at Universal Studios (Mummy attraction).

Me and my husband's younger brothers :) as you can see, they are taller than us. Laya and Lakan are both university students too. 

Merlion Park group shot taken by Ate Lulu. She's so diligent in capturing moments in her Sony Cam. 

This shot was taken on our trip to Balay Indang in Cavite. In this photo is my husband's eldest sister's family (2 children and hubby), youngest brother Lakan and our family. We stayed overnight and ate lots of organic food :) very refreshing trip. 

Last April 8-9 was our trip to Boracay and we experienced Zorb. It's my first time to do it, so is my husband. I bought this deal at Groupon for a cheap price.

The Groupon deal includes Helmet diving and ATV (but we rode a Buggy instead because there are too many people using it at that time).

Our trip was sponsored by my Aunt Ofelia as her 2nd year wedding anniversary gift for us. It was a great but short experience. I wish we could go back very soon!

Report

Kanina, matiwasay na natapos ang aming isinagawang pagtitipon ukol sa mga Gore Films—kabilang na dito ang Re-animator: Bride of Re-animator, Beyond Re-animator, at ang Hellraiser Series. Masaya naman kami kahit kakaunti lang talaga at hindi naman ganon kagulo. Kasi naman, expected rin naman ay tatlong tao lang. Buti nga at nakadalo nga si C. Kaya ayun, naging magulo lang nang kaunti ang pagtitipon. Nang malaman naming sa 2010 ay mayroong Re-animator Part 4 ay halos magtatalon kami sa tuwa. Nang dahil don, na-inspire na ipagpatuloy ang educational naming gawain sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa muli ng isang Gore Marathon Part 4 sa pagtatapos ng bakasyon (extended kasi). Kaya ayan na nga at may bagong event nanaman sa Facebook kaming ginawa kanina lamang.

Maagang napa-uwi ng bahay ang mga kasama namin kaya as usual si Hani naman ang last man standing na kasama kong nanood hanggang part 4 lang ng Hellraiser. Medyo nakakabitin nga lang kasi hindi namin malaman kung papaano magsisimula ang part 5 sa ganung klase ng ending. Pero sige, binitin muna namin para rin next time mas maraming mapanood pa at hindi maubusan sa Gore Mara Part 4. Ang weird lang kasi na-hook ako kaagad sa Hellraiser samantalang hindi ko pinapansin ang ganoong uri ng pelikula noong araw. Parang naisip ko pa nga na, “Ano ba namang klaseng tao tong si B, ang hilig sa ganito…” pero di nagtagal ay eto ako at naghahangad pang makapanood nang mas marami.

Pero iyon nga lang, wala kaming gaanong mahikayat na makisama sa aming butihing gawain na ipamahagi ang ganda ng gore films sa kapwa namin estudyante o kaibigan. Medyo sensitibo kasi ang nilalaman ng mga pelikulang tulad ng Re-animator, at may pagka-porn at atheist ang dating nito sa karamihan. Napapaatras rin namin sila dahil ito nga ay gory—madugo, kadiri, eew, yuck, at kung anu-ano pa. Masasabing ang may matitibay lang na sikmura ang makakakain ng spaghetti o kaldereta pagkatapos ng ganitong pelikula (o habang ito ay pinanonood pa lamang).

Kanina, sopas na tinanggalan ng guts ang aming kinain. Hindi kasi ako palo sa ginawa ng nanay ko na may halong atay. Alam naman niyang ayaw ko kaya hiwalay ang kinain namin. Buti nalang at hindi niya itinuloy ang spaghetti at carbonara kahit alam niyang paborito ko iyon. Binalaan ko kasi na walang kakain non, sapagkat ganung klaseng pelikula nga ang pagpipistahan ng mga mata namin kinalaunan. Buti nalang at naniwala nga siya sa akin at hindi niya ipinilit ang gusto niya.

Kaya sa susunod na gore mara ay iniimbitahan ko ang karamihan sa mga inimbitang hindi nagsidalo upang makisali at masaksihan kung ano nga ba ang gore sa buhay ng tao (oo, alam kong wala talagang kinalaman pero trip ko lang talaga na sabihin yon). Join na!

Super Long Time No Post

Oh yes, I did it again. I failed to post in my precious blog (how cheesy!). Anyway, I just came from a 4-day vacation abroad. Yeah, I’ve been to the land of the chinitos: Hong Kong. And by far, I haven’t spotted any chinito cuter that someone. ;)

So the four days was all about merry-making and travel. Let me tell you about my summer class’s ending. It was so good that I got a 2 in my Pol Sc 14. Happy? Of course! Even with a three I’d be happy to have that.

And so after al those happy times, it’s time for the hard times: Academic year 2009-2010 1st semester enrollment. Everyone loathes this. CRS is down, you are not sure of your subjects, and you have to fall in line at the looooong queue. Oh, that’s not the worst part: it’s the part where you will be rejected in a subject you aim for.

Because of that, I have myself quipped for June 3. Ready or not, here I come!

Summertime

Perhaps I could say that Summer is the time when people have the tendency to do the MIA or to stop being avid for a while. I have been noticing this for years and it has been noted that this period particularly is where mischievous things happen in my life. I also noticed that during this period, I got the crush overload thingy, where I lust for stars, hot guys, personalities, and even classmates in Summer class at UPD. Okay, so much for that. Right now, I haven’t spotted any cute guy from Political Science, and from STS, it is hard to spot one (imagine, you’re almost 150 students in an auditorium!!).

To make my summers less boring, I go to school and gain some units and learn different fields using my electives (I have 6 units left to use). This year, I picked up Political Science 14 (coming from the “Prof Miranda Trauma” last year, but I’m now more confident after passing under him) and STS (I targeted this since 2007!). STS is my current favorite subject ever, because the topics in the lecture are my interests: Science and Technology with bits of Social Sciences. Ever since I was a child, I fancied studying hardcore sciences like Biotech and all the seemingly impossible things that only science could prove and revoke. I loved the solar system and wondered if there were other “solar systems” with a different sun. Just yesterday, I listened well to Dean Caesar Saloma’s lecture on Science in the broadest sense. I learned new discoveries that are very interesting but not quite useful. Also, I learned that there’s already a 128 GB memory stick (or Flash Drive) that is waterproof and as small as my fingernails! It was so fantastic that my techie side wanted one in my wish list… 

Anyway, Political Science is also my recent like although I suffered and worked hard a lot for it last year (1st sem). Right now, I’m planning to take all the rest of my electives from the Department of Political Science, if I won’t be able to get Psych 142 next sem as an elective. My electives will only come from either Psychology, Sociology or Political Science as decided by me. Tomorrow, the first week of Summer classes is over. I only have 20 days left to spend. I wonder what more interesting things will occur to me for the rest of those 20 days…

Queuing Problems

Kanina ay naranasan kong maging biktima nanaman ng isa sa pinakamalaking problema kapag enrollment sa UP Diliman: Ang Napakahabang Pila. Last step ko na ito sa aking Summer 2009 enrollment, at sana kasing bilis pag regular enrollment kaya lang nakakadisappoint kasi naipon ang tao kanina. Holy week kasi nung nakaraan at biruin nyo, Wednesday palang ay bawal nang magbayad sa PNB. Wednesday. Ni wala pa nga ang spirit ng penetensya e, Thursday ang start ng hardcore Holy Week presence, at bukas pa ang mga malls non.

Okay, so nakakadisappoint kasi sa pagkaipon ng mga tao ay nagdulot ito ng perwisyo sa mga taong matagal na sanang bayad. May mga sumisingit pa nang lantaran (bale 4 ung sumingit slash nakisingit sa “friends” nila without asking the permiso of the people behind their “friends” na talagang nakakairita. I can’t help tuloy kanina but glare and look at them in an annoying manner. Kakainis at kakadagdag sa init ng ulong hatid ng matinding sikat ng araw. Grr talaga. Bwisit na mga Pilipino, walang disiplina.

At sa PNB naman, sana nung Wednesday e hinayaan nila na magbayad kami or yung UP Admin sana tsaka dapat dagdagan nila ang Windows sa enrollment, di naman kasi porket summer e onti mageenroll. Maraming rin o kasing dami rin ng reg sem ang nageenrol no. Hmp. Kainis talaga. Buti nalang, nawala badtrip ko kasi nagkita kami. :)
