Thank you, 2011

Dear 2011,
I want to say thank you because you've been such a wonderful year for me and for my family. I owe you a lot of different things, different opportunities and the like. Like many other years, you weren't perfect at all, but I want to thank you still for being fair enough and for giving me challenges along the way. I do feel braver, stronger and smarter now.

You made me stronger and smarter especially when it comes to choosing the right way to take; grabbing all the opportunities and other things constituting also to my personal views and lovelife.  I know, when it comes to the 'lovelife' thing I'm sort of a loser, and you 2011 made it difficult to get over. Then I'd still have to thank you for that - now that I've finally moved on, as I can see and reminisced myself during that process, I found it so funny and I felt like..hmm stupid at the same time (haha!). It's a tough year I must say. But through it all, I have all the hopes, dreams and weapons with me to overcome all the trials and hardships of your year. So then, I conquered it.

Thank you 2011 for building and bringing my family closer. That was the most wonderful gift you've given me and I couldn't tell you how much happiness I do feel while you were putting the shattered pieces together for good, I must not cry. I had a lot of rants, a lot of everything negative along the way but still I'm thanking you, you made it so wonderful for me and for all the people around me.

Typhoons, earthquakes, wrong-doings and all sort. We know they do have reasons. But still, thank you for making the world a better place and making our country experienced improvements. This is really a big deal for all of us.

I don't have any regrets 2011, and I shall not think about regrets. What made me happy, what made me smile, what made me cry, what made me angry, frown and all.. I'm thankful for everything.

I'm excited for the upcoming year but I just can't say goodbye to you that easily. You've been so wonderful that I'm used to live my life in you, with you. But like what you've taught me so, I must learn how to move on and how to let go.. and things will be better if I let them be, then i will be better than great if I try more and put my words into actions.

2012 is so near, I could feel it coming.. I could also feel you.. whispering in my ear, I'm hearing you now.. saying your awesome goodbye. Thank you for such a wonderful you, 2011. Thank you for all the hosting jobs, splendid grades, awards, true friends, amazing family and all other things that you showered me. Thank you so much Lord for 2011, thank you so much for all the blessings. I'm so happy to live this life.

Thank you 2011. I do have bomb thoughts, so I can't thank you properly through these words. Maybe goodbye isn't the right term, perhaps I can use "See you around"?

Love,
Shainne

Hello there, 2012. I know you'll be awesome!

Happy New Year, everyone! All the best!

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 m...

Pinto Art Museum

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...
