What you would get for a a PISO fare promo?

Actually it was my first time to experience a PISO fare promo.. true enough when you get to pay less, you will correspondingly receive a bad service.. tsk! tsk! tsk!

A week ago, my hubby, myself and a couple of friends were bound to Gen.Santos City, flight 7:10 am.. Thinking to eat breakfast and rest for a while inside the airport before boarding time, we left Baliwag, Bulacan at 3:30 a.m.. Viola, we arrived at Terminal 3 of NAIA around 5:30a.m., more than enough time for us to check-in our luggage and eat some breakfast..

Much to our dismay, we joined the long line of passengers waiting for their turn to check-in.. At first we were content on waiting and exchanged stories, several minutes passed-by and were still too far from the check-in counter.. Until a ground crew began calling our flight and took our tickets, a lot of the passengers got angry.. Imagine, how disorganized the ground crews were, all the flights were mixed up together, there is no particular counter for a certain flight.. It crossed my mind, what if our luggage was inadvertently sent to Pagadian City instead of GenSan? OMG! It could ruin our vacation.. Just checking-in our luggage lasted for a little more than an hour and what's worse, they began calling our flight for a last call to board, when in fact we just got hold of our boarding pass and we yet to pay for our terminal fee.. A male passenger ran towards the gate assigned to us without even wearing back his shoes.. We ran and ran, even forgetting to answer the call of nature.. Haisst! photo finished we were the last to board the bus en route to our plane..

Upon boarding, we expected to enjoy the trip by sleeping..Viola, passengers in my front and at the back of hubby both have babies with them, who both refused to keep their mouth shut nor sleep during the flight.. Mind you, I was not angry at the babies, it's their mothers who were all irritating..Its simple, if you decide to travel with a baby, packed snacks and bring their favorite handy toys to keep them busy during the flight.. Learn to respect the rights of the other passengers.. Remember, like you, the rest of the passengers are just humans who needs to rest and enjoy life..

Next time around wait for the series of blogs about our 3 days whirlwind tour of SocKSarGen-Davao..

Pedring, lukring!

Hay Pedring!

Nakakalukring!

Kamusta naman yung pagbuhos ng ulan na tila walang kapaguran at yung lakas ng hangin na tila mauubusan?

Grabe!

Tamang nabasag ang bintana ng apartment namin sa sobrang lakas ng hangin mo.

At hindi ka pa nagpapigil dahil pati apartment namin ay gusto mo pang pasukin..

Ang hirap magwalis palabas ng tubig na dala mo..

Naku ka Pedring!!

At eto namang si Meralco, nakisabay pa ng bonggang-bongga..

1p.m ng Tuesday nawalan ng kuryente, bumalik lang 8p.m the next day..

Hindi ko malaman kung ano gagawin ko sa sobrang pagkainip.

Patay ang cellphone, patay ang laptop.

Madilim sa buong paligid!

Pati si Jollibee, Mcdo at Chowking nakisabay rin..

Ayaw tumanggap ng delivery, in short, napilitan akong lumabas sa kabila ng lakas ng hangin at ulan..

Salamat kay ministop dahil totoong sila lang ni 7'11 ang bukas bente kwatro oras..

Hindi naman talaga ko naglalabas ng sama ng loob, binabahagi ko lang yung naranasan ko sa mga panahong ito..

Salamat sa kandila na nagbigay ilaw sakin para makapagbasa ko ng ilang libro na naging libangan ko sa loob ng dalawang araw..

Salamat din sa experience, naisip ko tuloy yung mga sinaunang tao kung paano sila namuhay noon..

Ang dami kong naisip nung mga panahong yun, andiyang inalala ko yung mga taong binabaha..

Nakikinerbyos ako, nagdarasal na sana wala masyadong napinsala..

Sa huli, nagpasalamat pa din ako dahil maswerte ako na hindi ko naranasan yung hirap na dinanas ng iba..

Sarap Mabuhay!

"Ang sarap ng may INSPIRATION! :)) Yung feeling na kahit hindi ka niya kilala OK LANG, kasi kahit sa mga simpleng pictures at mga post sa FB niya napapangiti ka na niya."

        Nakaka-tuwang isipin kasi sabi ng iba, "Mag-boyfriend/girlfriend ka para maging happy ka." Hindi naman talaga kaylangan na may boyfriend o may girlfriend ang isang tao para maging masaya, para magkaroon ng inspirasyon sa buhay. Minsan nga kahit hindi mo kilala yung tao, kahit hindi mo personal na naka-kasama, kahit nakikita mo lang siya sa mga pictures at videos niya sa internet pwede mong maging inspirasyon.

        Pero ano nga ba yung sina-sabi nating inspiration? Sabi sa dictionary, inspiration daw is the stimulation or arousal of the mind, feelings, etc, to special or unusual activity or creativity. Pero para sakin at sa iba sigurong katulad kong inspire, hindi ba yun yung kapag nakikita mo siya or yung picture lang niya kahit anong sama ng naging araw mo, na kahit sobrang down ka biglang guma-ganda yun? Yung kapag pagod at stressed-out kana sa school tapos maki-kita mo siya, mapapa-sabi ka sa sarili mo na, "Buo na araw ko, salamat sayo." Maalala mo lang yung naka-ngiti niyang mukha mapapa-ngiti kana din. Yung parang, sa tuwing may gina-gawa ka tapos naalala mo siya, mas gaganahan kang gawin yung kung ano mang gina-gawa mo. Mas pagbu-butihin mo na feeling mo naman nakikita niya yung gina-gawa mo at idine-dedicate mo sakanya yun. Yung tipong, dahil sa taong yun nagiging mas-maganda out-look mo sa buhay, kasi nga nai-inspire ka niya na kahit hindi man niya alam, basta alam mong nandiyan siya OK ka na. :))

ang sabi ni BRO.. :)

There comes a time in our lives that we seek and ask Him of many things we need and want in life.

We find time praying and talking to Him about the things that concerns us..

Pero, para sa akin hindi lang tayo dapat magdasal o kausapin Siya sa oras ng pangangailangan natin.

Dapat nating ugaliing pasalamatan Siya sa lahat ng pinagdadaanan natin sa buhay, masaya man o masalimuot.

Lahat tayo may hinihingi sa Kanya, hindi ba?

At lahat tayo naghihintay ng kasagutan sa mga hiling nating yun..

Sa aking natutunan sa aming church, tatlong sagot raw ang binibigay ni BRO..

YES, NO and WAIT..

Napakaganda ng napakinggan kong ito..

YES, and He will give us what we want..

NO, and He will give us something better..

and

WAIT, and He will give us the best..

Ang ganda, di ba?

YES, dahil maaaring yung hiniling natin sa Kanya ay tiyak na makabubuti sa atin..

NO, dahil maaaring hindi naman ito makabubuti sa atin at tiyak rin namang may ibibigay Siyang mas magugustuhan at mas makakabuti sa atin..

and WAIT, dahil siguradong inihahanda Niya yung pinakamagandang regalo na ipagkakaloob Niya sa atin..

Ugaliin nating magpasalamat sa kahit ano pa mang sagot na ibibigay Niya sa atin dahil higit sa ating mga magulang na ang gusto ay yung makabubuti para sa atin, ganun din ang gusto ni BRO para sa mga anak Niya..

Be blessed! :)

SAYANG...

Bakit nga ba naimbento ang salitang “sayang”?

Ang salitang ito ay maaaring gamitin sa kahit anong klase ng pangyayari na kung saan gustong gusto mo o may planong dapat maganap ngunit hindi naganap dahil sa iba’t-ibang dahilan..

SAYANG!

Madalas rin natin itong maririnig sa iba’t-ibang pagkakataon..

“Sayang! Pagkakataon ko na sana para masabi yung nararamdaman ko pero walang lumabas na salita mula sa bibig ko.”

“Sayang pera na naging bato pa!”

“Sayang yung pagkain ubusin mo!”

“Sayang akala namin kayo na talaga.”

“Sayang ako sana yung nanalo sa kompetisyon na yun.”

Napakarami nating pinanghihinayangan sa buhay..

Pero bakit nga ba tayo nanghihinayang sa mga desisyong ginawa natin kung pinili natin yung desisyon na yun?

O bakit kaya hindi hinayaan ng nasa taas na hindi maganap yung pagkakataong pinanghihinayanagan natin?

Siguro, it’s about time na isipin naman natin yung posibleng dahilan ng mga yon..

Sabi nga nila nasa huli ang pagsisisi..

Ganun naman pala.

Hindi ba dapat na kung may gagawin tayo o papasukin na isang pangyayari ay dapat munang pag-isipan ng maraming beses?

Yun ang mahirap na part.

Yung paulit ulit na pag-iisip..

Nakakabagot!

Nakakatamad!

Pero sa huli kapag hindi natin ginawa tayo rin yung nagsisisi..

“Nasa huli ang pagsisisi.”

Yun ang sabe.

Kaya nga bakit ba ang tigas tigas ng ulo natin?

Tao e.. Pa’no gagawin?

Siguro nga minsan dapat mahalin din natin kung ano mang desisyon yung pinili natin..

Ito man ay magandang pangyayari o hindi..

Mas dapat nating mahalin ang mga sarili natin kapag nakakapili tayo ng maling desisyon..

Bakit?

Matututo ba tayo kung kamumuhian lang natin ang ating mga sarili dahil don?

Hindi naman di ba?

Mas dapat nating mahalin ang sarili natin kasi nalaman natin yung tama..

Sabi nga ng mentor ko sa isang organisasyong sinalihan ko noong 1^st year college ko, “make more mistakes and it will make you a better person.”

Naintindihan ko siya at inunawa kong mabuti yung sinabi niya..

Hindi niya sinasabing sadyain nating magkamali pero ang ibig niyang sabihin doon ay huwag tayong matakot magkamali..

Kung nagkamali man tayo, ok lang.

Dibdibin natin sa loob ng ilang araw..

Pag-isipan natin ng mabuti yung nagawa natin..

Pagnilayan natin..

Maaaring pagsisihan mo rin pero huwag tayong pumayag na ubusin nito yung oras natin..

Sa halip, ubusin natin yung oras natin sa paggawa ng kapaki-pakinabang..

Kung may nagawa tayong pagkakamali, huwag tayong matakot na iadmit ito sa ating mga sarili..

Huwag tayong manghinayang sapagkat ginawa natin yun..

Panindigan natin..

Pero make sure na at the end of it all, gagawin natin kung ano yung tama.

Kung ano yung natutunan natin sa pagkakamaling yon.. =)

FOOD CRAVES: The Burger that towers your cravings!

Aren't you tired of eating hamburgers with all the same look? A burger bun, hamburger patty and mayo?? Plus cheese and green thingy like lettuce or cucumber just to give something new? *well I'm not pertaining to any particular burger brand. lol.

After releasing the double down.. now KFC put another teaser and a craving much burger that would probably put your jaw down and forget your diet at all. It is something new! And something really BIG!

THE KFC TOWER BURGER!!!!

Some people might ask what's about it? Well, of course it got a big hamburger buns, creamy mayo, crisp and fresh lettuce, a delicious hash brown (oh my! new isn't it?), cheese and the good original recipe chicken patty (same chicken patty as with the double down).

I was so excited when my boyfriend and I scheduled our tower burger day, or I should say MY tower burger day! HAHA! August 3, Wednesday, it's our post monthsary celebration at KFC! With all this mouth watering and much appreciation as my boyfriend handed down in our table the tray with the KFC tower burger!

And OMG! "Watta big box!"

And when I open it "Watta tower burger!" HAHA.

Before eating this, I noticed that the arrangement was not right. Look again at the picture I took using my android phone. The hash brown goes last on the list. I don't know if it was just a mistake by one of the crew or it's just how they want to be in the KFC tower burger Filipino version. Anyway! I don't care! Because.. no matter the sequence of those, when you put together it is still a towering burger! It's actually the hash brown that made me crave like crazy! I've never had a hash brown in a burger..Ever! :)

We ordered the Tower burger snack box meal which includes tower burger, fries, one drink and one piece chicken. Apparently, tower burger was all mine. Though he got a bite of it. But I'm proud for I finished it all alone! HAHA! This burger can go as high as 2 and a half inch. Could you believe I ate KFC tower burger with my bare hands and all-stretched mouth! Super stretched! I didn't care what and how might people look at me even my hubby.. for he was saying, "Ang laki naman kasi.. I can't imagine to eat that BIG..." WELL..its really quite high to bite. But its munching! And finally I'd got a taste of this towering burger! I have to tell, honestly I had a quite time finishing it. But indeed, it was a great one! I enjoyed every single bite! BUSOG MUCH! swear! And I want another time with this tower burger. Another busog moment. :)

I LOVE YOU KFC!

I LOVE YOU TOWER BURGER! :)))))

KFC is obviously my favorite one! two-thumbs up! yeah!

A KFC tower burger alone cost P110.oo.

A meal with fries and drink cost P140.oo.

MEMA blog : Love Me Not...

MEMA blog : Love Me Not...Oftentimes we seek for mere happiness that will lighten up our feelings. We asked ourselves why in this world we always experience the vast and weary atmosphere of life’s intricacies.

Am I not good to everyone? This is just one of the questions we oftentimes asked ourselves.

It made me realize that no matter how good we are to people that we love, still they have reasons to let you feel that you are not. Is it not enough or am I just being too much?

I found myself bothered with the things that always haunt my sanity. The stillness of my sanity started to weaken. Until one day I found myself lost, afraid and broken.

My mind is vague and my heart is empty. My whole system is in great numbness. Why can’t I feel the pain I normally feel in everyday of my life? Why can’t I love him now?

I wanted to cry but my tears are frozen. I wanted to scream but I can’t utter any word.

…. He came close to me, held my hands and embraced me with all his might.

Questions were raised on top of my head. Who the hell he is? He seems to care about me. He even shed tears as if I am the missing piece of his life. Can someone help me from this enigmatic thought I am in to?

I pushed him away from me but he never dares to withdraw his hands that held me so tight.

In a wink of an eye, the pain that I usually feel eventually runs through my system and the longingness I felt before is now corrupting my weary heart.

As I turned my eyes on him I noticed that his lips are red as cherry. His full narrow eyebrows gave emphasis to his bewitching eyes. Indeed he is good looking.

He opened his mouth and his warm breath ruled my being. He is the air that I breathe that gave life to me.

I cried then tears began to fall. I miss him. His warm touch, his voice, everything about him. I love him so deeply.

…. But why can’t he love me the way I wanted to be loved?
