The local beauty

There are really great places in our localities that most our fellows neglect. Why do we have to go great lengths just to find white beaches or watch the sunset? We have plenty of beaches here in our place that are far more beauteous than those that we try to visit miles and miles away. In fact, here in Legazpi, there are ery many white and gray beaches. We also have sand and pebble shored beaches. More resorts are being opened for the public so there is no need to travel for hours and for miles because we already have it here.

You can also find some unique places that include caves, water sheds and falls, and shore stalls. YOu can further commune with the nature by visiting greeneries around the city. There are really so many destinations here in the city, all awaits for your visit. I myself is not planning for far away vacation anymore. I just want to rest and refresh somewhere in my place because to tell you honestly, I have not explored the entire city of ours. Sometimes, I feel guilty that I go to other places and explore their shores, resorts, and other great destinations but i have not come across all destinations in my own place.

But anyway, I still have some time to do that and I am going to start by recording all the great places we have here. Then each time I get a chance, i will go and explore what it can offer. If I will be given better chances, I might as well take some of my friends and lovedones to have good time with me. In that way, I won't become one of the many ognorants in our own place...

I found this cute picture in the web and it brings out the environmentalist in me. You know, I


a always wanted to grow plants and watch them progress, but the lack of time and the lind of career I have? I am pretty sure, that will remain a dream waiting to be realized. It may be easy for other people but for me and in the place I live in, which is a company-owned apartment, I will not be able to grow any plant properly. What I do instead is plant on a planter from my friend's place and bring it over here. The problem is, I am not here everyday so there are times when the plant will need to suffer from water scarcity or weeds all over it.

But I know that most of you out there are not as busy and occupied as I am so you can still plant and grow flowering plants, ornaments, and trees on your gardens or back areas. While you have the time and energy, why don't you take the chance? Someday, you will become as busy as I am and you will no longer have the time and place to do your planting sessions. Maybe you will also be sad and longing for the days you can do so just like what I am experiencing as of now.

Besides, everyone must do their part. A plant per person will surely make each place green. More greenery around us, more oxygen. And we definitely need oxygen in our body, as well as in our surroundings. Imagine how fresh and cool will it be everyday when you wake up in the morning with the trees swaying and filling the new mourning breeze?

Hey, Precy! Happy birthday!!! how old are you now? oh, don't worry... I won't divulge your age weeee!!! Anyway, i have something for you here... I hope you like it, and you enjoy looking at it. That is actually too much for you alone so you probably need me around to help you consume it. And you don't have to invite me, I'll drop by later in your office at exactly 5 pm.

Kidding aside, I really wish you a happy, happy birthday!!! I hope of all good things to come your way and stay. I also wish for good health and more smiles and jokes from you. You are such a weird person but I am very glad we've met. There will be many friends I am still going to meet, but you are unique in every way. So always take care of yourself because there are more people who are wishing for the best for you than you could ever think of. Be happy always and may the good Lord God bless you always...

lucky...lucky....lucky


It is the 13th of April and you know, people are really superstitious. And even if i am not one who will truly be affected of all these, my family is more into it. I have this red ornament, which I have on my personal phone. I hang it there because it is somewhat cute, but it was originally given to me for the purpose of enhancing my 'luck'. It is actually a Chinese design that promotes luck in general. Since it looks good on my phone and it fits my preferences in terms of color, I always have it on.

I think there is actually nothing wrong with having it, I mean for those that do not believe in old sayings and superstitious beliefs. For me, as long as something looks good and complements me or my things, its okay. One thing that will keep me from spending for a thing is its cost. There are actually lucky charms, as they are called, that are truly expensive and can consume as much space. Another is when you need to make orations and accessorizing it every so often. I just think that it would be so much.

I am just thankful that my mom, superstitious that she is, does not spend too much on any lucky charms like any ordinary devotee. Some will even adorn the entire house with huge and attention craving statues and accessories. Although I don't have anything against it, it seems a waste of time and money. Imagine if you will need to clean it everyday and offer food in front of it? What if the house is too small and you have to observe silence and all that in the presence of such statues? Isn't it look like the house is not a home anymore but the statue's warehouse? Just thinking out loud, lol.....

Nice to be loved!

I am so happy today, I can't help myself from posting... I am celebrating my natal day today and all my expected visitors are coming! I am really happy and in a hyper-mood today, I don't mind about the time. In probably minutes, my visitors will start coming by but I just don't care! I have somethings prepared for the occasion as the rest will be taken cared of later of the day and as the simple get-together progress.

You know, my friends and I usually do this every year and during my birthday. They come and bring something to add in my humble prepared 'somethings'. They haven't failed yet and I don't want to end that tradition so I just make simple preparations, which will later on be grand enough for everyone of us. We also do some funny things like games and just anything that comes into mind. But of course, we make sure that we don't overdo anything so it will still be purely fun.

I also prepared and burned some cd's for my player as I don't want to bring my pc out in the living room. And as usual, we will make this event short but totally grand. I personally ensure that it will only last for an hour or two to get rid of boring times. Also, it has something to do with my respect to my neighbors. I don't want to make so much noise as the night progress, which is almost usual in any celebrations.

Hey, this is long! I still need to check on the dishes and other necessities. I wouldn't want to miss out any little detail because I don't want to cram and look stupid when my friends start coming. Yeah, the dogs and cats also. I have to nurse them to sleep to keep them from rummaging everywhere and making mess. So , bye for now....

4 days to go....

4 days to go...and I am turning oh oh no! I am not going to divulge that, not yet--lol--- well, it is just nice to be celebrating another birthday in one piece, with a career to follow, and loving family and friends! I probably be celebrating it at home with my most treasured friends and loved ones. Maybe, if my finances approves, I can treat myself to a vacation somewhere far and serene.... I am just nuts over beaches and nature adventures!

And by the way, I also need to check on my schedule and if the directors will approve my leave. If it will be granted, then I am going to push through with that but if not then I probably try next time. You know, one thing I've learned in age is patience. I am becoming more and more patient and that is a WOW! In my younger years, I might as just leave without prior notice or just get on my plans even if not allowed. But I have learned to control my emotions now and I think that is maturity...

So much of this mushy conversation, I still need to prepare for my shift tomorrow. Of course, I have to meditate because I am to give the monthly performance appraisal of my branch. I hope to be back after a few days to update on the happenings on my birthday. For now, i will just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope, really hope that everything will fall into places and with my plans. Ciao!
