A Day With #Friends

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Playing Around

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.

---William Arthur Ward

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

---Audrey Hepburn

Just playing around with good friends.

Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.

---Dennis Prager

Linked Our World Tuesday

Where I'm Headed?

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

---Henry David Thoreau

Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction.

To the #Lake

Welcome to Mainit Lake

 Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.

---Wallace Stevens 

 

 The lake and the mountains have become my landscape, my real world.

---Georges Simenon

For me, time is the greatest mystery of all. The fact is that we're dreaming all the time. That's what really gets me. We have a fathomless lake of unconsciousness just beneath our skulls.

---Anthony Hopkins

Roaming Around Mall of Asia (MOA)

Mall of Asia is the nearest mall from Manila Domestic Passenger Terminal 3 (sa pagkakaalam ko) kaya paglapag ng plane sa Manila Domestic Airport, agad-agad kami sumakay ng taxi headed to MOA para mananghalian. It was almost 12 noon na. Sa kahahanap ng makainan sa MOA, sa Wendy's kami napadpad.
It's the best time for Wendy's!

Group picture agad para ebidensya na kumain talaga sa Wendy's hahaha

After lunch, the walking continues. It is my second time in MOA (take note ha probinsiyana po ako. Super malayo ang Manila sa amin ha). The first was last April 2013 pa. I was alone roaming the MOA at that time. I spent two to three hours sa bus from Nova hanggang MOA. Text messages lang ng kapatid ko ang nagsilbing gabay ko where sasakay at bababa and what vehicle na dapat kong sasakyan. So far, hindi naman ako nawala. :-) Pero this time, I'm with friends. Surprise nga kapatid ko nang ipinaalam ko sa kanya na nandito ako sa MOA. Kasi nga di ako nagsabi sa kanya na pupunta ako ng Manila. Secret yun eh. Pero di ako nakatiis sa aking Sissy na patagalin pa ang pagsasabi sa kanya. 

 Hinanap talaga namin ang store ng Watson. May bibilhin kami. Mga personal stuff.

 Huminto kami sandali at masayang tinitingnan ang mga ice skaters.

 At dahil wala po ito sa amin...saan kaya floor at saan banda kaya yun?

 At walang katapusang paglalakad... si Leah may supot na ng Watson na hawak-hawak.

 Tired feet kaya rest daw muna for awhile.

 Ano kaya ang meron sa ibaba?

Kahit pagod na yan ha, nakatawa pa rin.

Sumulyap sandali sa Arena ng MOA.

Capalayan Falls

For the first time, I visited the Capalayan Falls. Unlike Katibawasan Falls and Tinuy-an Falls, Capalayan Falls is not so popular. It is located in Surigao City.

Capalayan Falls is still in the process of improvement. From the city proper, you can ride a habal-habal, motorcycle or private vehicle in going to Barangay Capalayan. See and ask permission first from the Barangay Official. They will send a tour guide for you not to be lost in going to the waterfall. From the main road, you need to walk and follow the pathway/walkway going to the waterfall. To avoid rashes, make sure you wear leggings/long pants or anything comfortable outfit just to keep your legs away from scratching.

 See? How grassy the walkway is.

 She is not playing patintero. :-)

 Waving the camera.:-)

 Tired. Resting for a while

 Trekking...

 Jose exerted an effort to climb the waterfall.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Capalayan Falls.

There is no admission fee. Entering/visiting Capalayan Falls is free.

Beach Bumming!

If it is Sunday, it's a beach day!

I was invited by a friend to join with them at the beach because it is her youngest son's birthday! I was reluctant to abide with them because piled paper works waiting for me to be scanned. But, I won't let this day ruined by those papers. Let the paper works itself, hahahha.

It was so hot Sunday! Hot and windy! Huge waves rolled over the shore. The children couldn't swim and enjoy the water as much as they could because of the huge waves. Poor kids. :-)

Here are some photos I took that day. :-)

Enjoy!

A Day in Villa

From 6:00 o'clock in the morning until 6:00 o'clock in the evening, there was no electric current. Thus, I spent half of my day on the beach. Oh well, my colleague invited me to her birthday party held at the beach. Thanks to her. If not for her, I wouldn't be here :-).

It was a sunny day. A perfect day to stay on the beach.

Villa Gertrudes Beach in Barangay Sabang, Surigao City.

The celebrator wearing tee shirt(orange) with her nieces and nephews, pause for awhile.

It is eating time, my most awaited part :-). 

My ever  fave food, spaghetti. Wanna have some?

To quench our thirst, juice with RH :-)

I enjoyed a lot!

Happy birthday, Ruby Ann.

Wish you all the best.

The Absolutely Unique Gals

AUG consists of nine gals with unique personalities, abilities, talents and ambitions. We investigated for a month and solicited ideas from group mates what will be the best name for our group..LOL. If you're not belong to any group, you are not IN.

We decided to name our group AUG (Absolutely Unique Gals). The one and only reason we agreed was: Our group bonded on the month of August. We got the abbreviation of August which is Aug then we gave its acronym. No by laws created, no rules implemented and no objectives to be attained. We only committed to be faithful with our own goal- which is to finish studies.

AUG was my best buddy when I was in high school.

Fellas, meet the Absolutely Unique Gals:




1. She is Marry-Ann. A Mathematician. She is about to give birth this month. She lives in Laguna.
2. She is Meraljean. She is also part of the Esprikitik group. Very kind and approachable gal.


3. The pianist, Cheryl May. She is the doll in our group. She is very humble. She lives in Bukidnon.

4. She is Johneese. Obviously, she is a nurse. She is fun to be with. She is staying in Cebu now.

Not in the pictures: Janet, Susan, Carmela and Marjorey.

Spot the Differences

Maniniyot: Care to smile pipz!...LOL

Rennel: My bag is so heavy. What about this pose?...LOL.

If not of him (the Maniniyot) this pic would not be like this...LOL..Blame it to the "ok, rede"...

The above pictures were taken during the monthly meeting, January 30, of SNNHS Batch98 at Dale's Restaurant. The said meeting was headed by the newly elected Chairman, Mr. JP.
