Capones Island and Anawangin Cove

This, what I may call "the ultimate outing" has been planned for more than a month. We were not complete due to conflict of schedules since each of us have their own careers or busy with other stuffs. Now, I will share some pictures from that wonderful experience. :)

Arrival at Pandaquit, Zambales

My first ever boat ride. Oh myyyyy, I was really scared (even if it is not obvious with this picture. HAHA)

In the middle of the sea, somehow became comfortable and enjoying the ride :)

This island is very appealing to the tourist mainly because of its white sand. The only disadvantage is there are no cottages. So, you will not be able to atleast hide from the for a few minutes, in case you want to.

The overrated jump shot.

My friend, Aleah, and I replicating the Baywatch. HAHAHAHA

The beach in Capones Island! Wow! I love the green-ish blue-ish color of the water. Plus, it is very clear and clean.

Eksena! Kailangan may arte pic sa beach! :))

On our way to Anawangin Cove. Another boat ride, yes sir!

Need to say more? :))

Sexy girls!!!

We went trekking. (Another first time for me. Hihi)

This is the view halfway from the top. The girls weren't able to reach the top since we're already tired.

Anawangin Cove, top view.

We're going down, down, dowwwwnnnnn.

Thumb up for the trekking experience!

Little John Hay in Anawangin Cove. :D

Indeed, this was a fun day with my high school friends. But then, we miss Anne. She was not able to come because she has more important thing to do.

Si Manong Guard

Nag-apply ako sa UST kanina.

Habang kinukuha ko yung collateral expired ID ko:

Manong: Dito ka na mag-aaral niyan!
Ako: Hindi pa po. Exam palang po.
Manong: Sure na yan. Matatalino mga taga-SLU eh!

Wehehehehehehe! Iba ka manong, panalo! :)

THIS!

There are things that people need to be proud of. Anddddd so, this is what I am currently proud of. I may have difficulties along the way but I was able graduate with an honor. I will never forget this chapter of my life. I will definitely miss college days. But, I will keep moving forward. Another chapter of my life awaits me. So, there. Love, Happiness && Success :)

Through all these years, I have never been expressive on how thankful I am for the love, support and encouragement I received from the amazing people in my life. This is my opportunity to appreciate and to give my thank you - sssss to my family (mama,daddy,allen,aj), the Videz' family (dhang,lloyd,grae) and to my big circle of friends (these are just a few : vhin,sam,jody,carlo,mai,lei,sid,stef,lance,yabz) :) And to my Stan ♥, cheers to our more adventures!

PS: In all my accounts, I have posted something like this. I promise, this is the last. Hihi

Save the 182 trees!

Hindi naman talaga ako masalita tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa aking paligid. Pero ito na marahil ang oportunidad ko na ilabas ang aking mga naiisip at saloobin.

P.S. Halos lahat ng mababasa dito ay sariling opinyon ko lamang.

Ilang buwan na ang lumipas nung lumabas ang balita na magpapatayo ang SM Baguio ng isang parking lot building sa tabi mismo ng nasabing mall. Kaakibat nito ang pagpuputol ng 182 pine trees para mabigyan ng lugar ang gusaling ipapatayo.

Maraming ng kumontra sa gustong ipagawa ng SM. Naalala ko nung Panagbenga Festival :Session in Bloom, may isang grupo na nagpapapirma ng isang petisyon sa mga tao na huwag ituloy ng SM ang pagputol sa maraming puno. (Isa ako sa mga pumirma doon.)

Akala ko hindi na itutuloy ito. Pero sa dumaan sa 2 araw, sinimulan na ng SM ang pagpuputol. Nung huli kong malaman 12 na ang mga naputol ng mga puno. Dahil dito, naglabas na ng TEPO ang gibyerno para itigil na muna sa loob 72 oras ang ginagawa ng SM. Subalit, sa kasamang palad, pinagpatuloy ito. Ayon sa SM hindi daw nila agad nakuha ang kopya ng TEPO.

Ganito ang kanilang ginagawa :|

Nakakapangilabot at nakakalungkot makita sa balita ang unti-unting bumabagsak ang mga puno.

Naalala ko yung isang guro ko sa Socio5c, sabi niya, dati daw kapag paakyat ka palang ng Baguio maamoy mo na yung amoy ng mga pine trees. Nung nagaaral pa daw siya, sobrang lamig daw kaya kailangan pa niyang magsuot ng boots, sweater at jacket pati gloves. Pero sa mga panahoong ngayon, naawala na ang mga ganun. Hindi na kasing lamig gaya ng dati. Yung mga pine trees, unti-unting nawawala at nagiging mga malalaking gusali.

Sayang. Tuluyan ng nawawala ang ganda ng Baguio. :(

Para sa akin, hindi na kailangan ng SM na gumawa ng parking lot building dahil hindi naman ito makakatulong sa turismo o pati sa kalikasan. Hindi naman pupunta ang mga tao para makita ang parking lot building kundi para madama nila ang malamig na panahon at iba ng tanawin. 

Sa mga nagsasabi na hyprocrite o ironic na magpoprotesta ang mga tao kontra sa SM pero kumakain o namamasyal naman sila dito pagkatapos, ang akin lang, may mga pangangailangan na pwedeng makita at mabili sa SM lamang. Ang pinoprotesta ng mga tao ay ang mga namumuno at nagpapalakad sa SM at hindi ang mga tindahan na nangungupahan at angbabayad sa nasabing mall. Oo, malaki ang natutulong ng SM at sa mga tao pero hindi ibig sabihin nito na pwede at may karapatan ang SM na sirain pati ang kalikasan. Hindi ibig sabihin na ang kapalit ay ang pagpuputol ng 182 pine trees na naging simbolo na ng Baguio.

Dun naman sa iba na nagsasabing bakit nung unang pinapatayo pa lang ang SM ay hindi nagprotesta ang mga tao, ang masasabi ko lang, dahil noon salat pa sa pine trees ang Baguio at kailangan nito ang isang komersyo na tutulong sa pagunlad ng siyudad. Ngayon, dahil sa climate change at malaking pagkukulang na sa mga puno, gumagawa na ng hakbang ang mga tao para mapangalagaan na ang kalikasan.

Unang araw ng pagpuputol ng SM, sumugod ang mga raliyista. Tinakpan gamit ang mga panharang ng kahoy  ang buong SM.

"PUT TREES KA nga SM!"

Itigil na sana ito! Baguio City is known as the City of Pines, hindi naman as a City with a huge-SM-parking-lot-building!!!

Graduating in the year which everyone thinks it is the end of the world.

I just want to share my graduation pictures. :)


Another chapter of my life is about to end. But, this one will not be counted to those which bought tears and sadness. This one will be one of the greatest things that (will) happen/ed to me. After delaying for another year (because of transferring to another school), I am about to graduate. This will bring happiness to my family especially to my mom.


So here.

I do not know how to get the video so that I can post it here. -___-

ENJOY WATCHING! :)

Failed but a Worthy Suprise!

So, I planned a surprise for my boyfriend for his 20th birthday. (Yeah, I'm a year older.)

I texted my friend who is his classmate, fortunately, to help me with the simple surprise. She agreed without considering any second thoughts. -Thanks BBgarl, Laaaabbyoooow! ♥

Bought cake at around 9am and went straight to school. I met the friend outside the laboratory so we could prepare the cake -- light the candle. It was difficult on my part to do that thing since I don't know how to use a match. Boo me! Because we took so much time for lighting up the candle; boyfriend went out to go to the comfort room. And yeeeessss, he saw the cake. TAN-TA-NA-NAN-TA-NAAAAAAN! Fail! Since it is his birthday and so he saw my friend with the cake-not-yet-lighted-up and hearing my oh-so-loud-voice, definitely he knew it!

Anyway, we ran inside the comfort room to at least "hide". Here's a picture of yours truly with the cake 

which is already lighted. :D

I don't know why I made this face. >.<

Still, I decided to continue the surprise by going into his group's cubicle, holding the cake and asking him to blow the candle. :) 

So, there's boyfriend and never mind what I am wearing. :P

Even if my surprise did not go well the way I expected it, I had fun. We had fun. And no matter what, I believe that I made his birthday happy and special.

By the way, boyfriend's name is KRISTHAN VITTORIO GARCIA SABADO celebrating his birthday during September 23rd.
