Merry Christmas 2011

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year!
It's indeed a Merry Christmas for me and for my family, well even though they are sleeping now and I'm the only one who's awake and battling with the slow internet connection, it doesn't matter to me anymore... or it does but not that really big deal at all since it's Christmas time! ;)

I'm very thankful that we have food to eat, and I have a happy and awesome family to be with me to celebrate this wonderful birthday of Jesus Christ. I'm blessed, I'm happy, I feel awesome, I have superb friends too, and yes I couldn't ask for more.

We tend to wish for something, and when I say something it's definitely a 'material thing'. We always wanted what's best for us (of course, right?!) - the best gadgets, best dresses, best shoes, best everything, that sometimes we tend to take simple things for granted, that we are on the set of ignoring those and we presume that it's not good and a no better thing or even a waste of time. But if you think deeply and consider it, it's actually not 'just' a simple thing, hey! It matters. Simple things really do nail it! It could make you feel the warmth, the heart-pounding joy and the love.

Just like for our kababayans in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City who suffered and got devastated by typhoon Sendong.. those who are affected by the typhoon can't even think about Christmas anymore, they don't even know how to survive the day without their homes and any food to eat, they aren't even comfortable because they know that their love ones are missing, and some of their special someone died because of the tragedy. It saddens me; I wish I could be a big help to them. I know that this chapter in their lives isn't easy and I know that it's too painful, but I believe they can and WE can all overcome it by helping each other even in our own simple way. So everyone, let's help them! Let's donate and lend a hand to our kababayans through different foundations and organizations!
Also:

Donate for Sendong victims 
(RED CROSS)

Red Cross via GLOBE 
Text RED <amount> to 2899

Red Cross via SMART
Text RED <amount> to 4143

So if you're too busy this holiday season and can't go to different foundations or organizations to personally send your donations, at least you have some spare time to text and to donate.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! GOD BLESS US ALL!

Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort

A 15-20-minute ride from Commonwealth, Quezon City, Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort is one of the nearest relaxation spots where you can swim and enjoy peace and quiet time (given that it is not peak season). Entrance fee is P250 and they allow guests to bring their own food and drinks. There's also a convenience store near the entrance that sells everything from charcoal to rice and other things you might need to grill, cook, or eat; and of course, toiletries, most importantly. Cottage rental amounts to P700-P1000; if you are a group of  20 or more people, there's a pavilion available for rent that can accommodate that much. They also have an area where you can conduct seminars and other events such as debuts, weddings, birthdays, etc. You can also use the videoke for P900 (or if you can haggle, you can only get it for P700) and it is good for use during your entire stay, so you better get your songs ready and lined-up. Their restrooms and shower rooms are impressi

Ang Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Ka Oryang

1897  Mayo  1 Mahal kong Oryang, Andres Bonifacio at Gregoria de Jesus photo from the web Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga'y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin. Hindi ka dapat masabi

Some might find it weird about how we juggle up on our interests. Some would say that there's always so much going on and some (might) find it interesting, too. Nonetheless, we just do what we love, what we are interested and passionate about and even the things we don't even know at hand hence trying out and its conversion. Interests, passions and talents turn to 'work' and eventually to crafts (well, whichever comes first). And same goes as what Tina Fey once said, "Your work is your craft and your craft is your art." How we care and hone our given skills and talents, as well dig into the deeper process on the things we are interested about (and even with those we are not totally into); then learning goes along with it.  Speaking of interests and different approach to ideas, medium and overall art... art galleries and/or museums are the best places to see the various aforementioned accessions.  I've visited different art galleries and museums
