The Bestest Birthday I Ever Had

I turned 24 last November 30. I felt so old and a little bit tired of my self. Indeed, life is full of surprises. I celebrated my birthday at Boracay in lieu with the Promet's Global Event.

Checkout these pictures that reflect the great I had on that day!

I was offering a peace sign for the world..I had bulging eyebags! I can't accept the fact that I am 24 years old.

Radiating a smile with the beautiful sunset and enjoying the Boracay's sandcastles.

Bonding with my teammates while filling our stomachs with 'eat all you can' Mongolian food. It's nice to see the faces behind their intriguing IM avatars.

Chatting around in a Jamaican ambiance. It's really a beachy setting.

Posing with Marie with the fire dancer in the background.

Our swimming outfits! I can't stand to were bikinis so I prefer printed red shorts and midnight blue top.

Killing the time with island hopping activity. I can't stand the big waves.

It's swimming time. I run the race...Boracay is beautiful!

White sand, clear and steady waters and beautiful sun, what more can I ask for?

My first ever banana boat ride. Woohooo!

* All expenses were paid by the company, isn't it great?

Reminiscing: Ballad of a Mother's Heart

Two weeks ago, I happened to be with the "golden ladies". They were called golden ladies because they're already in their golden age: 50-something. I thought I'll feel awkward because of the age gap but in the end I was wrong. When women at my age had some chit-chats probably it would be about friends, food, fashion, work or even boys (men). On the other hand, these golden ladies were very concerned with their children, grandchildren, and their in-laws (especially). They had some outbursts on how they don't like their in-laws and on how pitiful their children for having the wrong choice of husband/wife. That's when I remembered a poem during my gradeschool. This poem was written by Jose La Villa Tierra. It speaks on the love of parents for their children, how forgiving and how great the love of a mother is for her son/daughter although he/she has hurt her very much. Ballad of a Mother's Heart The night was dark, For the moon was young, And the Stars were a...

Oh What A Rain!

I visited the PAG-ASA site today and according to them: Central and Southern Luzon and Visayas will experience monsoon rains. The rest of the country will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest and northwest with slight to moderate seas except during thunderstorms. The rain will probably be pouring down for the next few days. Thinking about waiting for the sunny days, I remembered a song I used to sing with my grade school classmates: If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops Oh, what a rain that would be! I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide—– Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Oh, what a rain that would be! There's a Tagalog ve...

Jay "Bugoy" Bugayan: Deserving PDA Season 2 Grand Star Dreamer

I always watch reality shows here in the Philippines but I am not fond of spending some money to vote for them. However, for the Season 2 of Pinoy Dream Academy, I will surely cut a small amount from my daily budget just to vote for Bugoy. Jay Bugayan aka bugoy came from an impoverished family in Camarines Sur. One of Bugoy's dream is to earn a college degree so he payed his tuition through scholarships and earned his pocket money working as janitor, dish washer and other odd jobs. As a farmer's son, he also worked in the farm and sing songs with the cows and birds as his audience. He never took his talent seriously for until one of his friend discovered his singing talent accidentally. His friend heard him singing while cleaning with a mop. Soon, he joined school competitions that led him to try out for PDA. He said that he never auditioned just for himself but it was also for his family and for all the common people who had "small dreams" in life. At first, I don...
