The Philippine Eagle Center - Davao Day 1

We went straight  to The Philippine Eagle Center which is also a breeding facility for the Philipine Eagle. However, before we actually went inside the Center, you will pass by a couple of people who have snakes as pets and we had a photo with it :D

Albino Python

Walked a mile or less to arrive in the Center.

...and finally!

 Below are some species of eagle.

I had fun knowing alot of things about the eagles and how difficult their breeding process is. Since the eagles are monogamous, they can identify their mate and it's like marriage where they bind each other together. Unfortunately, if one dies its impossible to breed... They also tried experimenting putting one male and one female, whom both of their mates passed away, in a cage; however, so far there is still no progress on the said experiment. I came to realize alot of things actually...on how to value life in general and how strong these eagles are.

You can also find brown deer, wild boar, monkeys and a crocodile inside the Philippine Eagle Center.

 Lastly, you can also find a bat outside the center, near the entrance area.

Right after the wonderful tour in the Philippine Eagle Center, we went to Malagos Garden Resort.

Happy New Year 2012 Goals

Wow! Time flies way too fast! I still remember the time I wrote my Happy New Year 2011 Goals like it was just like yesterday...and now I'm about to write my 2012 Goals.

The year 2012, is the year of the Dragons. People who was born on the year 1988 is also a Dragon (that includes me)! We, according to the Chinese zodiac definition, are innovative, enterprising, self-assured, brave, passionate; however, conceited, and quick-tempered. Very true! LOL!

Last 2011, I promised myself to spend more time to myself (accomplished) and my family (failed)! I, unfortunately, spent too much time to myself. Vanity struck...sigh! So sorry... However, drinking and going out at night is absolutely much lesser compared last year :D

Now, I have updated my New Year goals for 2012, but let's check first my accomplishment on the 2011:

✔ Open a Time Deposit

☐ iPhone 4 -- I got Blackberry instead and I'm happy with it!

☐ Go back to Gym and exercise Regularly  -- Stopped last March --- X

✔ Launch iSwallow.info (Month of January)

✔ Make a Contest for Rabsing.com

✔ be MORE patient! (God Help me!)

So, here it is:

☐ Will go back to gym on January and will maintain until the end of the year!

☐ Will spend more, more time with family.

☐ Balance career and love.

☐ SAVE every PAY DAY! 

☐ Improve life's status!

☐ Start DIYing! :D

☐ Get a better CLOSET and RACKS for my stuff.

☐ Be more health conscious.

☐ Go back to church please.

May this be a better New Year for everyone! Have a great day guys!

Christmas 2011

So much have changed and so many thinks left unsaid. However, it has been tough, yet still the greatest roller coaster ride of my life.

Despite some insecurities and sensitive stuff, I am still really blessed with so many things. (I do apologize if some people/group might not be forgotten)

To my family, thank you so much for every patience. I love you guys so much! A sentence that I seldom say.

To Marco, even my deepest 'thank you' can't level all the things you have done to me. I am so so thankful to God that I met you...and just ultimately blessed to have you. You are such a wonderful person. Everyone who knows you should know that. Your values and respect towards people transcends dominantly and you are just amazing! To Cedric, IDOL! Thank you for the love and the trust. I am even more blessed to have you in my life.

Captain Morgan in Alchology Cebu

Right after the very inspiring The Mod Parade, we went straight to Club Alchology to morning the night away! To our surprise, Captain Morgan was their partying as well. We had some few talks with Captain Morgan and some few drinks as well and everything was history! LOL!

Look how happy I was in this photo. LOL! -- (Photo by: Tiborsho.com)

All I can say is it was an ATOMIC BOMB! Everyone knows that I am a pure rhum lover and puke on beers and this Captain Morgan just gave me tears of joy!

More photos to come soon, but for now you can hype my look below:

Will Watch My Househusband for Christmas

My Househusband with Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo and Eugene Domingo on December 25 -- (photo by: Philip Lapinid)

My Househusband

A collaboration of 2 of my most favorite actresses: Judy Ann Santos and Eugene Domngo -- this is going to be one of the best entry to be submitted in the MMF 2011. A story of a family where the mother is the breadwinner, while the father stays at home to take care of the children and the household chores plus a twist of a 3rd party?

This is going to be really interesting indeed! If you want to check the trailer, see the video below:


I've also heard that Ryan Agoncillo didn't just pull it off, he outstandingly did a great job portraying his character and can possibly nominate him and hopefully grab the Best Actor Award.

Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos

They are such a cute and humorous couple. Ryan humor was beyond hilarious no wonder the fire in their relationship is so warm and alive! Very sweet indeed...what an ideal relationship.

I can't wait to watch My Househusband with family for Christmas. You definitely should watch too ;)

Also, hype my look too :D

The Cebu Fashion Bloggers at The Mod Parade

I, together with the rest of the Cebu Fashion Bloggers, went to Sugbutel for an exclusive invitation of an intimate fashion show of three lovely ladies who will be launching their own lines.

Maui Lezama (Sew Maui) - Clothing Line
Chastity Manuel - Accessories Line
Sunshyn Alerre - Clothing Line

And to my surprise, one of the ladies, Maui, is from Dumaguete and a fellow Sillimanian and to add everything up she is the sister of a batchmate, Dino, during my College days whom is now really good with his craft, Tattoo Artist. Check Dino's Portfoilo Site. Such a small world indeed!

We were a bit early for the event so we had enough time to get some shots of what we wore during the night and some other stuff.

A quick yet a very worthwhile event! Those accessories are stunners and those backless clothes was just breath taking and Mac loved it sooo much! In connection to that, Mac also won the Best Dress on the said event ;)

Also hype my look :D

5th Mensiversary

...and we are on the 5th :)

No words can express how grateful and happy and proud I am for having you. I have been always aware how painful love can be and all its complications, but when both of you do the tango it's like floating in the air. Both understands, both compromises and just love.

Maybe that's just it, love. Simple.

The VBS 2011 Experience

Now that I am more confident with myself and found myself an area where I can actually belong, it changed me to be better in what I do and the way I deal with people...and that I think I have shown on the said event.

I also helped and assisted the organizers and the people behind the event. And who says you can't look fashionable while working? Hahaha! You can hype the photo above on LookBook here.

I really cant wait for the time that the Fashion Group here in Cebu would roar. For the meantime, you can check my pre-post for VBS 2011 dedicated to all the Fashion Bloggers here.

Almost Christmas Again

Well well well... Time flies so fast. Had my time locked in the box I didn't even realize it's already the month of Christmas...and next year will be my birth month. Wow! Imagine that?

A lot of things has happened into my life that I couldn't place them all together with my bare hands. I decided to take a step back with blogging for a while to let go of the things inside my head that I couldn't really express here or in the offline world. I was trapped in a pit hole that I prevented me from thinking straight and was succumbed with fear...until now. I now God has plans for me and to all of us and at the end of the day, it's Thy will be done.

I have faith and He knows that from the start. This is going to be a challenge till death. So I pray:

My heart, my soul...my fear, my anger...my love, my patience...take it all and lead me back to You. Amen

 May you all have a blessed day and advance Merry Christmas!

Thanks Giving Relaxation in Parklane

It was just last week where we had a 4 days long weekend, thanks to Thanks Giving holiday! Coincidentally, I was able to stay at Parklane Cebu for a week thanks to my sister. It was the best relaxation ever!

Went swimming every morning...

Went swimming at night...

I also tried their relaxing jacuzzi...

Vanessa also joined me with my relaxing moments...

...and I also tried their gym which has awesome equipment! The good thing their is that their are personal trainers available anytime and there were few people who goes to their gym. The tread mill was the best btw. Too bad I wasn't able to take a photo of the place. I usually don't bring my phone in the gym.

Before I go to sleep, I never forget to have a warm deep in the tub to relax my nerves and restless muscles.

I just wish it was like forever. Living life with no worries, no falsity and no stress. I just wish someday, everything is going to be okay...my friends, my family and my life. I just wish.
