a DecIsi0N to makE...

Surely, I'll be missing this blogging thing. I might be quite busy from this day forward (June 5 -start of the class until October 2009). Also, I need to decide it though if I'll be resigning from my work just to concentrate my review class. Of course, "napamahal na rin sa 'kin work ko". But as they say, you cannot serve two masters at one time. I know time management is really important in having a review class. I'll just have to wait my better half for us to discuss it personally. Hopefully, we could come up with a fair decision. I said fair because he's the one who suggests and encourages me to ---and I was then hesitant at first.

Motivational Quotes for me:

HOW TIME FLIES...

How time flies --- I can say I'm happy!!!

Had been busy doin' crazy things in this world, even busy doin' nothing perhaps! Countless things happened in my life for almost six years after graduating college. Been working here in my present employer for four years now (one and half years from my previous employer). Really learned a lot from my work though. I've been married for two years ---and still counting. Have no child yet. Still enjoying one's company and of course- HAPPY!!!

And now that I decided to take another step forward in my life, am putting my fingers crossed to achieve my goal. My hubby has been very supportive to any of my decisions. He lifts my spirit up whenever I got discouraged to anything. He loves me unconditionally --- and that makes me so haPpy.

...palawan gateaway

This is the continuation from my previous post regarding Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan Island. It is acclaimed also to be the cleanest and greenest city in the Philippines. We've been there last march 10 to 12 this year (with my colleagues) Sorry to post this very late- hehe... Well, the place was indeed amazing. To wit; the subterranean that is known to be the longest underground river in the world with its wide hallways, cathedral-like chambers and great pillars of centuries old limestone formations, the beautiful white beaches, and the Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center - formerly known as the Crocodile Farming Institute.

Day 1- We had lunch at the Balinsasayaw Restaurant. It is designed to give the customers the feel of a locally Filipino setting along with a casual and cheerful environment.

>>>Right after eating our lunch, we travelled for almost two (2) hours going to Brgy. Sabang, the baseline for underground river. They have their beaches there too, like Daluyon Beach Resort and Taraw Beach and Cottages where we stayed. The staffs were so friendly and accommodating, affordable foods and room rates they have. I was amazed also for the "carabao in the beach" as their means of transportation from one beach to another.

Day 2 - Underground River Trek. Boat ride for about 30 minutes going to the cave.

>>>The entrance

>>>Inside the cave - different rock formations.

>>>On our way to Island hopping.
















>>>Luli Island<<< & >>>Star Fish Island<<<








>>>Snake Island<<< & >>>Pandan Island<<<

Day 3 - Went to the Crocodile Farm. There was a twenty minute walking tour of the facility which included a small crocodile museum. The museum needed a little work done on its displays, but it did have the skeletal remains of the largest crocodile caught in the Philippines.

>>>We enjoyed it so much. The trek was really worth taking. Mwaaaah :-)

I'm so grateful for this Ms. Bingkee . Thanks a lot...muaaah :-d

So irresistible...

Hmmm... nothing special to write this evening. I’m so tired from our whole day CFC fellowship held at St. Benedict’s Monastery, Carmen Cebu. Enjoyed it.

Lot of foods being served during lunch –and one thing that was so irresistible to eat was the “fried buwad”. So tempting- haha. I ate for almost 6 pieces of this (pic below). Gosh! (not good for my kidney).

“Buwad” is the cebuano term for “dried fish”. My favorite kinds of buwad are the danggit, pusit, tuloy, sapsap, bolinao. Everybody loves to eat buwad I guess, aren’t you? It is made as an appetizer in our meals. But some are using it as their main course though (hehe) -especially people from remote areas. It is undeniably a mouth-watering one.

Don’t know if you tried cooking it like “inon-onan”? Haha..try and it’s awesome. Put it with coconut milk, vinegar and some spices like garlic and union. Uhhhmmm...tsalap :-p
