combat training

Growing up, i have always admired martial artists. In fact, i wanted to become one. But i never get around to it. So basically, it's one of my frustrations in life. How about you? Wanna learn the the truth about martial arts?

Captain Chris Pizzo is one of the fellows who has dedicated his life to not only spreading the truth about martial arts and self defense, but also to teaching the very same simplistic, and easy to learn answer he discovered after nearly being stabbed to death during a road rage attack. If interesed, you too could learn and acquire the same skills. Close Combat Training sounds interesting right? Well, you have to check it out! It is the world leader in self defense. Considering how dangerous sometimes life can get, it is worthwhile if one learns to do self defense. You know, bad elements are out there. Hmnn having learned about this, my desire of learning martial arts has come back.

ceiling fans

I think that one of the many important pieces of furnitures inside the house are ceiling fans. They are not only decorative but functional as well. It sure will give you comfort during hot days. So, if you're looking for the superb collection of ceiling fans, farreys.com have it all for you.

I checked out their site and fell in love with the casablanca ceiling fans especially the Serra and Sienna. The earth color design is just adorable. You have choices from contemporary to traditional. Lots of design to match the interiors of your houses.

I also love this Indoor/Outdoor Kona Bay from the outdoor/specialty fans, one of the many craftmade ceiling fans that they have. Whatever kind or style you maybe looking for in a ceiling fan, i'm sure they have it. With the plenty of collections available, you just have to own at least one.

Sinulog 2008 photos

The weather wasn't fully cooperative during this year's Sinulog. It was raining but for sure it didn't stop the crowd. My feet still hurts from walking, then again, it was all fun.

Mallorca Island

typical mallorca view
Mallorca Hotels are found in Mallorca - the largest island of Spain. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago. The Balearic Islands, of which Mallorca forms part, is one of the Spanish autonomous communities. It is currently governed by a coalition of five different leftist and nationalist parties headed by the Partit Socialista (PSOE) under Francesc Antich.

If you'll go to Mallorca, then i think it is a wise idea to stay in Palma de Mallorca Hotel. Each day, they offer free extras and specials.

Ibia Island is one destination. Another would be the Ibiza. It is most famously known for its summer parties, with thousands of people flooding in for the big summer club nights. Famous clubs include Space, Pacha, Privilege (ex Ku), Amnesia, DC10, Eden and Es Paradis. Finding cozy Ibiza Hotels should never be a worry if after partying you'd want to lay down and rest.

San Antonio Hotels are also one of your options when considering where to stay. They also offer free extras and specials. So, next time you travel, take a stop in Mallorca.

fluvial parade

I went out of the office last night very late. I should have gone home immediately and sleep because i was really tired. But i changed my mind and decided to join my officemates who were loafing in a resto bar somewhere in Lahug. Later, we went to IT park and had coffee hoping it would keep us awake. We wanted to just wait for the fluvial parade (in honor of Snr. Sto. Nino) to start at around 6am. The coffee didn't do much magic because we all felt sleepy and tired. We went home at around 4am. I'm not sure who was able to wake up and got a chance to watch the parade then.

ola barcelona!

Barcelona - a city in northeastern Spain on the Mediterranean; 2nd largest Spanish city and the largest port and commercial center; has been a center for radical political beliefs. Being the second largest city, there's no doubt that it should have awesome Barcelona Hotels for visitors to stay at.

Last December, around 5 of my officemates just arrived from Spain. They were there for an offshore training and assignment. I was envious for they made a lot of pictures of the many tourist spots in the area. They mentioned about Ramblas. It is an iconic and busy street in central Barcelona, popular with both tourists and locals alike. It is a 1.2 kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall in the Barri Gotic, it connects Plaza Catalunya in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell. It is usually full of street theatre, cafes and market stalls, it serves as the emotional hub of Barcelona. I think my officemates stayed in one of the many Ramblas Hotels there.

My good friend got married to someone from Spain. They might leave the country for Spain by August this year. If by any reasons I will be assigned to Spain, then maybe i could stay at their house or to a famous Barcelona Hoteles.

Barceloneta beach
Barcelona has 7 beaches so it should definitely be one of your top 3 summer destinations. Ah! How nice it is to be at the beach on the day and relax at night in any of the Barcelona Hotels in the area.

sinulog 2008

Once again Cebuanos are at the time of the year when excitement is at its peak. The much awaited Sinulog is just a day away. Growing up, i had always watched Sinulog when the grand mardisgras' route was from Plaza Independencia to Capitol then Fuente. In the last few years, i just prefer to stay at home and watch it on tv... it might be different tomorrow.

i want to go to boracay again!

I saw last night the online photos of my friend Phoebe - photos taken from Boracay. Of course the photos looked great. It made me realize how i wanted so much to go back there again. I didn't get enough of Bora last time. I should be back. I didn't get the chance to roam around the whole length of the beach. I didn't have much pictures! LOL! :D Well, hopefully i can go there once again.

peso fare

I think the peso fare promo by Cebu Pacific is cool. It will allow more people to have the chance to travel and go to different places. Well, travelling by plane is costly over sea trips but at least the peso fare promo gets you to your destination faster at a lesser price. Original plane ticket price might cost you double if not for the promo. More people will get the chance to see the many beautiful places of the country.

nursing home

In my country, the old folks are usually being taken cared by family members. However, to some other countries, old folks and the elderlies are being sent to nursing homes. Nursing home - an institution where people are cared for. I have come to better understand that a nursing home could be another alternative. In nursing homes, people who will be taking care of our love ones are specialist and are better aware when it comes to health issues and proper medical care. Here's this one site that will give you important insights. Bettercaring is a comprehensive care home search engine and a source of vital information on social care. These information will provide you important key notes to consider in your choices like finances and options such as home or residential care. To whom should you entrust your love ones? Be sure to be wise enough in your choices.

the odds of being under the sun

I have accepted the fact that my skin color is not fair. I'm really dark skinned. I don't use ordinary soaps because i have always wanted to look lighter. Not that i hate my color, it's just that i want my skin to be toned all over. Just in time when i could see that the soap i'm using is taking effect - i'm going to the beach. My efforts of skin whitening would then be futile! It will take time to get my skin lighter but only a matter of hours to get it dark, really dark. But i really don't care. Being dark won't equal the amount of fun being under the sun...

places i want to go to this year

Hmnnn i have a couple of places in mind to go to this year. If time and money permit, i'd like to visit Camiguin Island, Palawan, Malapascua and Boracay again. Philippines has a lot of natural wonders and beautiful beaches and spots to look out for. I can't wait for any of these trips to come true. Do you know that i can't swim? That's the irony yet i still love beach outings heheh...

wholesale roses

One of my favorite flowers is rose. Especially the pink ones. It's january and before you know it, it's already February. Anything familiar with February? Do you smell flowers in the air? The love month is coming and flowers are still the sweetest to give to your love ones on this very special day. And what do you know? June brides must be in their very crucial wedding preparations as of this time already. When we talk of weddings, flowers matter. Looking for that perfect roses?

how to get there...

Yah, how to get there? in Sumilon? Just easy.
1. Go to South bus terminal and get a bus ride going to Oslob.
2. Drop off in Sumilon main office or receiving area. (just near the main road so chances of getting lost is unlikely)
3. Wait for the pumpboat to transport you to the island itself and viola enjoy the beach! :)

Note: For day tours, have your reservations first....

golds anyone?

The 3 most common elements would include bronze, silver and gold. Gold being the most precious. Gold - a soft yellow malleable ductile (trivalent and univalent) metallic element; occurs mainly as nuggets in rocks and alluvial deposits; does not react with most chemicals but is attacked by chlorine and aqua regia. But to most people, gold means great wealth or jewelries or a collection. Are you a gold collector? Then you should see the golds from monex.com and own the best golds around. Personally, i like gold coins but i didn't know that there are lots of kinds of gold coins like the - gold vienna philharmonics, gold american buffalos, gold american eagles, gold canadian maple leafs and gold south african krugerrands. Golds are fun not only nice to collect but they are as well good for investments. If you only want the best for your golds, then check out Monex.

on being a "laagan"

I'm really not a laagan. But isn't it nice to sometimes get away from the puking demands of work? We need to unwind and feel the beauty of nature. It can be sometimes costly though! LOL! And most of all, i just enjoy being with friends. Maybe i can say that now 'coz im still single. Things might change but right now, all i know is that i like being out in the sun...

new year, new trips?

New year, new trips! That would be nice, isn't it? Well, friends and I are planning to go to Palawan. I'm excited! But i hope it's gonna push through, i think we were not able to book our tickets yet. How i wish the 1peso promo will be offered again....

i went to sumilon island...

Whew! Amidst the busy christmas rush in the air, I was off from work yesterday. I went to Sumilon Island with friends. Yes, it's December and beach outing for me knows no month or season! hehe! Sumilon is located in Oslob, south of Cebu. I had fun. It could have been greater if it's summer. Anyways, i'll post photos later.
