Okay, first and foremost I love going to parties because this is a great time to catch up with families, relatives and friends and of course get to know new people but mind you, I ‘m not a partyholic. Well, maybe there was a time in my life that I was, but I believe going to bars on weekends and getting drunk is out of my system anymore, though I still hangout with friends and not considering myself as antisocial.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay were getting off the topic here. Last few weeks, there was a street party at hubby’s small City because it is the start of the preparation for the cities fiesta. The fiesta falls every 3rd Sunday of September and this year the fiesta falls on September 16, 2012.<br />
<br />
Annually the city of Danao in the northern part of Cebu has this tradition called “Sinugdan” where in there is a parade of the hat of the patron saint of the CIty “Santo Tomas de Villanueva” (St. Thomas of Villanueva). The parade is called “The torch parade”. <br />
<br />
Before, people attending the parade brings torches with them but today look at what they have.<br />
<br />
Vehicles that contain huge drums and even a whole band, truck turned disco mobile and truck turned into a disco pub. <br />
<br />
As what I have seen, everybody is enjoying dancing in the street.<br />
<br />
Happy Fiesta St. Thomas of Villanueva.geemizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08017375664255279980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082506545147822178.post-31413254822825853612013-09-21T01:31:00.001+08:002013-09-21T01:39:04.116+08:00Guilty as ChargeFirst of all I would like to ask my apologies for being away for a very long time, it's been a year since my last post about mama's birthday celebration in the beach.

</div>
August is a very special day for me and my sister because it's our mama's birthday and this year I have asked a niece to join my mom's birthday and her mom's (actually my 1st degree cousin) birthday celebration to be celebrated together, so as you know both our families are close.<br />
<br />
We decided to go on a beach birthday outing. It is not a very big event but we assure of a memorable one. Since I am busy my cousin scout for the place and she decided that we go to Anda de Boracay and then East Coast.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sissy in the Anda de Boracay Infinity Pool</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Anda de Boracay is not the place we expect it to be. It is like a residential lot turned beach resort so the place is small and the beach they use is the public beach. The place is structurally nice and the infinity pool looks great. There room ranges from 1500-4000 pesos. They have a restau-bar and a small activity area. Our birthday celebrants did not like the place that much so we opted to go directly to East Coast White Sand Resort hoping that the place will be okay.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">East Coast White Sand Resort</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
East Coast turned out to be our paradise for that day. Our birthday celebrants enjoyed the pool as much as we did. They have a clean shore and the beach is perfect. My mom is not a fan of the beach but in East Coast she is like a mermaid.<br />

We enjoyed the delicious food in the beach, we ordered buttered fried praws, tinulang manok, calamares (all time favorite) and grilled fish. We brought 2 birthday cakes for our celebrants.<br />

I love reading the Philippine Constitution because for me it is better that as a Filipino we should know our rights and our duties in our country.<br />
<br />
Let us not be a foreign to our homeland, so let me share to you the Philippine Constitution in image form every now and then.<br />
<br />
Let me start with the Preamble. The preamble reminds us all Filipinos our duty and the goals we must do for our country.<br />
<br />
I believe that every Filipino should learn and understand the Preamble, through this, a baby step towards peace will<br />
Be achieved among us all.<br />
<br />
Here is the Philippine Preamble:<br />
<br />
We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.<br />
<br />

My love of animals strengthen when I met my babe, because he also is an animal lover.<br />
<br />
We have 3 dogs, more than a dozen of Koi fish and more little aquarium fishes. Our three dogs are Laplace (doberman/labrador breed), Cronus (gratedane breed) and Light (shih tzu/maltesse breed).<br />
<br />
This post is all about Laplace.<br />
<br />
Laplace is our 2 year old dog. We bought him not in a pet shop but in a bangketa in Colon, Cebu City. Babe and I were walking along Colon when I saw a cute puppy carried by a woman. The puppy seems looking at me and he seems asking me to buy him. I told babe to buy the puppy and yes he agrees and we bring the puppy home, then we called him Laplace.<br />
<br />
Laplace is a very intillegent dog. He can do tricks such as stay, sit, come here and he is a great mouse catcher. If we go out the house at night we always bring Laplace with us, he is our guard, even though he does not walk in our side.<br />
<br />
The reason why I created this post is because of the incident that happened a while ago July 10, 2012 - 11pm. Babe and I went to ate Mimi's place like 500m away from the house, since its late we bring Laplace with us. We reached ate's house and get inside, we did not bother call Laplace because he is with other dogs and thinking he will just waite for us. <br />
<br />
Around 5 minutes we decided to go home and as we went outside there's no sign of Laplace. I am a bit worried because last year Laplace was taken away by a stranger and was sold for only 500 pesos but gladly we retrieve him with the help of a "sikad" tricyle driver. Babe told me not to be worried because Laplace is a bright dog and for sure he knows how to go home. <br />
<br />
So we rode a tricyle towards home. As we reach near the gate babe told me if I have noticed a wagging tail infront the gate and I am very happy because I saw Laplace sitting and waiting for us. I hurriedly take off from the tricycle and went near Laplace where babe is rabbing him and I belly rab my Laplace.<br />
<br />
Indeed I have one of the most wonderful dog in the planet. :) <br />
<br />
Here is my Laplace<br />

We visited Camotes June 23 and 24 and then went back June 30 and 31 with two of our closest friends Matt and Norman.<br />
<br />
Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort is just beside Mangodlong Rock Resort and I can say that I love Paradise resort more than the Rock resort. The place is more safe because only few people visit for a day tour and the service is very good. If you ask for something then they give it to you at a reasonable time.<br />
<br />
About Mangodlong Paradise Beach Resort<br />
<br />
The resort has around 28 rooms, the room rate ranges from 2500 to 6000 pesos. It has 3 beach front rooms, 1 honeymoon suite room and 2 Cabana rooms. It has a big swimming pool much bigger than that of Mangodlong Rock Resort. It's restaurant called the Bamboo Caffe is much bigger and a lot cozzier than than the Rock resort. The food is okay with similar price to the rock resort that ranges 180 to 350 per order. They also have a bar near the beach which is open at night but you can eat there during the day. Adding the coziness of the place is there music which starts 7 in the morning and ends 10 in the evening.<br />
<br />
During weekend or if the resort has many guest they prepare lights for disco and a bar at the beach. They also set's up table and chairs for dining with lampara (Filipino lamp) as light. Lampara, lights the beach at night as the shore is lined with lighted lampara. <br />

<br />
Last summer May 2012, babe and I went to Camotes and we stayed at Mangodlong Rock Resort. Going to Camotes is easy because boats are available always in Mandaue City Cebu as well as in Danao City where boats sail every 2 hours. Boat fare is around 200 pesos.<br />
<br />
Since its summer most beach are full, good thing we get a room at Mangodlong Rock Resort a family room for babe and me, a room with 3 beds just for the 2 of us. A tip if you want to visit Camotes during summer, make sure to book a resort 3 days before your vacation and buy a boat ticket earlier as well so that you will not have a hard time on the day of your trip.<br />
<br />
Last 2009 we stayed at a different resort and heres what I can say of Mangodlong Rock Resort, the resort is nice with white sand, the food is delicious with reasonable rate, the pool is not big and I did not enjoyed it, i love the beach its clean, i love eating in front of the beach and watching the stars at night and laslty the beach is safe because no outsider can get inside the beach after 8:00pm.<br />
<br />

I even had many decayed teeth but gladly I don't have a false teeth yet and am not planning to have one, if there's another way than false teeth then I would have that for sure.<br />
<br />
Back with chocolates, I am not an expert of chocolates like the brands and all the names. I only knew the chocolates I often eat and I'm not choosy as well give me some and I will surely eat.. :)<br />
<br />
It is rare to see my tupperware without chocolates because for me chocolates are my comfort food. Each time I feel bad or happy I ate chocolates.<br />
<br />
Some advantages of chocolates are it lessen heart related problems, it's an anti-inflammatory, it's an antioxidant and it's a medicine for depression.<br />
<br />
I'm not saying that you eat chocolate a lot because eating more chocolates can destroy your teeth and too much is not good for your health.<br />
<br />
My love of chocolates allows me to have it each time there's a celebration at home.<br />
<br />
Here are some chocolates I always have.<br />

I have asked to be assigned at the secretariat committee in which I help at the registration booth, well I am that cuddly lady who greeted you in the registration and handed your VBS2011 kit.<br />
<br />
I really did not expect the numbers of participants who have attended, though I have seen the per-registered participants I did not expect that almost everybody would come. Aside from the online registrants there are also many walk in bloggers and non-bloggers who would want to learn writing online and making a name and money out of it. <br />
<br />
Funny moments in the registration booth are when people go inline thinking that it was the crocs sale (we are beside crocs sale hall) and everybody is busy because the booth became the all around booth.<br />
<br />
Back to the event, everybody learned a lot from key note speaker Chris Ducker and was very happy of the video he presented of other professional foreign bloggers greeting the best for Filipino bloggers and starter bloggers.<br />
<br />
Of course we also have our very own bloggers Vernon Go, Jannette Toral and Max Limpag who have shared a lot about blogging.<br />
<br />
There are also many visitors during the event and among them are some of the Miss Earth 2011 participants, ABS-CBNs Gina Lopez who shared a very moving message concerning YES TO LIFE NO TO MINING, Cebu City mayor MIke Rama and congressman Mong Palatino who talks about advocacy in blogging.<br />
<br />
Great foods are served during lunch and snacks and there are lots of raffle prizes including a domestic flight of your own choice by PAL, mobile phones, globe kits, various GC from sponsors and more.<br />
<br />
Truly the event had just shown how the blogosphere is growing and the impact of blogging to the society.<br />
<br />

I can see many twinkling Christmas lights and various sizes Christmas trees with colorful decors. I can hear my friends sharing thoughts about Christmas gifts and the malls are offering sales for the season. Many are dieting and getting ready for the upcoming parties.<br />
<br />
Like any other I am so excited for Christmas though not that excited because papa is not around to celebrate with us physically but I know that he is just around, let's stop this emote moment I am a bit teary already.<br />
<br />
Anyways I am happy because I already had a Christmas gift and it is a Casio G-Shock watch from hubby. Me and hubby shares the same passion with watch.<br />
<br />
I so love my new watch though this is the second watch babe gave me,the first one is his old Casio watch.<br />
<br />
My new watch is black with a round red in front. It can be used as an alarm clock, stopwatch, timer and has 200 bar that allows me to used in even during scuba times.<br />
<br />
Thank You Babe for this one my very first Christmas gift for this year.<br />

<br />
As part of the routine during school breaks and holidays is food trip and we usually go to this place called Garden Cafe in my hometown. <br />
<br />
The usual food we order are pizza, fried prawns, fries, Ice cream and of course a bottle of soda but since the weather is quiet cold we skip ice cream and decided to have it some other time. Aside from the food the fast internet connection is also the reason why we keep on coming to Garden Cafe.<br />
<br />
Some photos of our food trip.<br />

It's still October and the days of the souls has not yet passed but we can already hear Christmas jingles in radios. I even have some friends whom their houses has Christmas decorative already. I'm quiet sure that we will be decorating the house too when I get home.<br />
<br />
Malls now still have holloween decors but for sure after November 1 and 2 those creepy decorations of webs, bats, witches and monsters will be replaced with red and green balls, Christmas trees, Santa clause and red socks.<br />
<br />
As of this date SM City Cebu Mall has already a booth selling Christmas decors and a photo is found below.<br />
<br />

<br />
iOS5 as what Apple said has great features and apps. I may not named all but I have screen shot some of it.<br />
<br />
Here are some innovations that I like the most and been using often:<br />
1. iCloud<br />
2. locked focus on camera<br />
3. grid on camera <br />
4. notifications on all apps<br />
5. drop down list of all notifications<br />
6. edit feature in photos<br />
7. a news stand for news papers and magazine subscription<br />
8. iMessage<br />
<br />
There are a lot more but these few innovations are the one I have been recently using. Below are some screen shots of iOS5 innovations.<br />
<br />

<br />
It just happened that I went to SM City Cebu with hubby to buy some stuff for our new pet puppy Cronus.<br />
<br />
I have not brought with me a cam so I just used my iPod Touch to take some photos. All photos are a little edited, still pardon for I am not an expert of editing photos.<br />
<br />
Below are photos of the cars.<br />

<br />
PS Express or Photoshop Express is what I have downloaded because it is number one in the photo application category that is free and yes I am a fun of free apps.<br />
<br />
Like other photo editor it has the basic options of editing the lighting. You can also sharpen your photo and decrease noise. You can as well add effects and boarders to your photo and the application has a builtin photo effect that is commonly used by everybody. In saving the photo you do not have to worry because it will be saved as another photo in your photo album leaving your original photo untouched.<br />
<br />
The second photo is an example of an edited photo using the PS Express free application and the first photo is the original unedited photo.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ODt6zTgchnQ/To_8XmiUh4I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6uZWxwWrQ7Q/s640/blogger-image-1491593908.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ODt6zTgchnQ/To_8XmiUh4I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6uZWxwWrQ7Q/s640/blogger-image-1491593908.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZHyau5fGEqI/To_8ZyF14VI/AAAAAAAAAIU/QMLp7effiEM/s640/blogger-image-16058195.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZHyau5fGEqI/To_8ZyF14VI/AAAAAAAAAIU/QMLp7effiEM/s640/blogger-image-16058195.jpg" /></a></div>geemizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08017375664255279980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082506545147822178.post-612756772633282772011-10-08T03:55:00.001+08:002011-10-22T04:16:37.814+08:00Blogger for iPod TouchIt is dawn and I'm still up because I have to finish the job for the week when I saw my iPod touch in which I feel like calling me. So I pick it up and realizing that I am the only person alone using the internet connection I decided to browse some applications in iStore.<br />
<br />
I have downloaded several applications when I realized to download a blogger app that I believe is so useful. iBlogger is available on sale but my payment account is not yet set up so I decided to go for a free blogging application and I have looked a lot.<br />
<br />
I have downloaded several blooging applications but I am not contented with it until I have decided just to have this only blogger application that has the true blogger logo.<br />
<br />
Actually this is what I'm using right now in creating this post. One thing that attracted me in this application is its capability to manage several blogs and just switch one blog at a time. But the problem is I do not know how to add one blog from another without logging out the recent opened blog. I will really do a research and will have a post soon.<br />
<br />
Here is a screen shot of my blog.<br />

This power saver as they said will not just lessen your current consumption to up to 40% but with this device you can still have power even though during power-outages. To mind you all this is a scam. If you happened to notice these persons please report immediately to the Police.<br />

<b>PNP warns public vs. power-saving gadgets</b><br />
<br />
<br />
VIRAC, Catanduanes, June 25 (PIA) -- Police authorities here has warned the public against distributors of alleged power-saving gadgets in the province.<br />
<br />
According to the Philippine National Police (PNP) provincial office here, an increasing number of reports against peddlers who introduce themselves as agents of gadgets and swindling customers has been noted recently.<br />
<br />
Last week, Lyn Flor Soleybar, 39, informed the police that last May 25, four persons came to her shop with the two introducing themselves as Jean Magbanua and Wilson Huarde.<br />
<br />
They said that they were agents of Mini Sun Marketing with office at Suite 408, FMSG Bldg., E. Rodriguez Ave., Cubao, Quezon City and that they were selling a gadget called "Newtech Power Factor Connector" which is intended to reduce electricity consumption.<br />
<br />
The said peddlers convinced her to buy one at Php 8, 500 and paid a deposit of P400 but she could not contact them anymore when she called to refer them to other customers.<br />
<br />
In Pandan town, Juan Manuel Noceda, 70 complained to the police early this month that on June 1, a group of peddlers on board a light blue L300 van arrived at his residence and introduced themselves as agents of Mini Sun. They convinced him to purchase one Power Factor at Php8,500 but he later found out that it was not working.<br />
<br />
According to PNP, Mini Sun Marketing has been the target of complaints from those who bought the alleged power saver that reduces electricity consumption and prolongs the life of an equipment by 1.5 times. According to experts, no such device has been invented.<br />
<br />
PNP has called the attention of the public to be more keen and observant in buying such things especially when it involves a certain amount of money.

Studies have shown that adrenaline rush activities can relieve stress so maybe this is the reason why there are many eco adventure parks in the Philippines, so does this indicate that Filipinos are stressed?<br />
<br />
In Central Visayas alone there are at least 5 eco adventure parks I know. The very famous eco adventure park in Central Visayas is found in Danao Bohol where you can do suiselide, caving, rappelling, mountain climbing, caving and the very famous plunge. There is also the Loboc eco adventure park in Bohol. In Cebu there is the Adventure Cafe in Balamban and Papa Kits in Liloan. A new eco adventure park in Cebu can be found in the upper place of Danao City the Danasan eco adventure park.<br />
<br />
<b>About Danasan, Danao City</b><br />
Danao City is the 5th town of Cebu province to the north if you start counting in Cebu City. It is ruled by the Durano’s. Danao is known for gun making but there are also many beautiful resorts in Danao like the Intusan and Coco Palm Beach. Danao City is really expanding their tourism and now has Danasan Eco Adventure Park. Well as we all know former DOT secretary Ace Durano is from Danao City. Danasan is situated in the mountain part of Danao City.<br />
<br />
<b>Danasan Eco Adventure Park</b><br />
Danasan Eco Advanture Park is a very good place to relax and forget the city life and embrace nature. Danasan eco Adventure Park offers common eco adventure activities like zipline, wall climbing, and rappelling, caving, horseback riding, river trekking and camping. The edge of Danasan eco Adventure Park from other adventure park in Central Visayas is that they have wake boarding and they accommodate beginners. They also has bike for rents for people who would love to roam around Danasan. Overnight stay is also available for they have rooms for rent and tents for rent.<br />

<b>Danasan Eco Adventure Rates</b><br />
The rates of the activities in Danasan Eco Adventure Park is cheaper than the rates in Eco Adventure Tourism in Danao Bohol though we can understand that Danao Bohol has longer ziplines, dipper caves, higher walls and more but the adventure is all the same.<br />
<br />
Below are the rates of all Activities including day tour and over night packages.<br />
