&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;a. &amp;nbsp;Last December 20, after 54 days(according to my mum's calculation) of battling cancer, my dad passed away. &amp;nbsp;He was only 54 years old. &amp;nbsp;The last few days for him was very difficult. &amp;nbsp;He was vomiting blood and was bony. &amp;nbsp;Let's pray for his soul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;b. &amp;nbsp;During my dad's wake, we met his son from another mama. &amp;nbsp;He is now 17 years old. &amp;nbsp;Makes him the youngest of his 4 kids.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;c. &amp;nbsp;I am still undermeds. &amp;nbsp;If everything goes well, I will be okay by mid-April. &amp;nbsp;If things go our way, I will be in the UK by end of April. &amp;nbsp;:) &amp;nbsp;Please pray for my health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;d. &amp;nbsp;Luke visited me for 12 days. &amp;nbsp;As per usual, we went on a holiday. &amp;nbsp;We chose Cebu this time, an unplanned trip. &amp;nbsp;We stayed in &lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2012/01/impromptu-walking-tour-at-cebu-city.html"&gt;Cebu City&lt;/a&gt; for 4 days and 4 days on &lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2012/01/island-guide-malapascua-island-cebu.html"&gt;Malapascua&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;It was a much needed trip. &amp;nbsp;I wanted to get away from everything. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-suufXyNO208/TxeJ7GyUnwI/AAAAAAAAFfQ/G7VOmW8LcXU/s1600/DSC_0057+%2528Small%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-suufXyNO208/TxeJ7GyUnwI/AAAAAAAAFfQ/G7VOmW8LcXU/s400/DSC_0057+%2528Small%2529.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In Cebu, Luke and I didn't do much apart from half day of walking tour. &amp;nbsp;We didn't go to the Regency Tower as Luke doesn't like heights. &amp;nbsp;I don't wanna do everything on my own either. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ang retarded lang. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;At night time, we eat. &amp;nbsp;We ate and ate that now I'm 57kgs heavy. &amp;nbsp;My meds aren't helping either. &amp;nbsp;It's supposed to make me fat. &amp;nbsp;KILL ME. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5D1vof3apKc/TxeGoWClWWI/AAAAAAAAFe4/csP9k02iPIQ/s1600/DSC_0205+%2528Small%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5D1vof3apKc/TxeGoWClWWI/AAAAAAAAFe4/csP9k02iPIQ/s400/DSC_0205+%2528Small%2529.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2012/01/zubuchon-best-pork-ever.html"&gt;Zubuchon Lechon!&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The skin was very crispy and its meat flavourful. &amp;nbsp;Just looking at the photo makes Luke and I hungry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was rice wrapped in coconut leaf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KLwvjfymzyM/TxeIg0pk8OI/AAAAAAAAFfI/5Z8tzCN-oho/s1600/DSC_0151+%2528Small%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KLwvjfymzyM/TxeIg0pk8OI/AAAAAAAAFfI/5Z8tzCN-oho/s400/DSC_0151+%2528Small%2529.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I look like a pregnant &lt;i&gt;matrona&lt;/i&gt; here. &amp;nbsp;Hahaha! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Luke calls this style, sumo head I think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;At first, I told Luke that I hate Malapascua because there aren't much to do and the place was dead by night time. &amp;nbsp;The real reason was, I was being a bitch because I lost my contacts and I wanted to replaced it straightaway so I can see better. &amp;nbsp;In reality, I loved it. &amp;nbsp;There were no filo tourist and noone bothered with any tour. &amp;nbsp;Luke read somewhere that it's the other way around. &amp;nbsp;It's the tourist who have to ask the boatmen to take them on a snorkelling trip. &amp;nbsp;Noone walks around with DSLR in their necks. &amp;nbsp;There are lots of Italians I feel like I'm in Italy. &amp;nbsp;When Luke dives, I spent most of my time in his laptop watching Curb your enthusiasm. &amp;nbsp;It was a perfect holiday for a lazy girl like me. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xgQuhbP5eJ4/TxeGgvPU1AI/AAAAAAAAFew/J9noPs7p9ZA/s1600/DSC_0186+%2528Small%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xgQuhbP5eJ4/TxeGgvPU1AI/AAAAAAAAFew/J9noPs7p9ZA/s400/DSC_0186+%2528Small%2529.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;On our last day in Cebu, I took Luke to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2012/01/cebu-taboan-market-danggit-central.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Tabo-an Market&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;. &amp;nbsp;He hated being dragged in a public market full of dried fishes. &amp;nbsp;The stench is horrendous and I smelt the whole day! &amp;nbsp;Before going to bed I asked him if I needed to shower. &amp;nbsp;He said, you don't need to but your hair smells a bit. &amp;nbsp;I wonder how he mastered saying things lightly. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Here are few funny moments from our trip:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;a. &amp;nbsp;In the airplane, Luke was complaining how filos take their seat belts the moment the airplane landed with the seat belt sign on. &amp;nbsp;Guess what happens? &amp;nbsp;Luke take his too. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;b. &amp;nbsp;In our hotel room, I was very gassy. &amp;nbsp;Luke said he need to fart and I said, I need too. &amp;nbsp;I counted 1, 2, 3 and let out the most loud fart in my life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;c. &amp;nbsp;In the taxi, I asked the driver what Pit Senyor is. &amp;nbsp;He said, P&lt;b&gt;i&lt;/b&gt;t is&lt;i&gt; alaga ba.&lt;/i&gt; &amp;nbsp;Alaga is p&lt;b&gt;e&lt;/b&gt;t in English. &amp;nbsp;In the Visayas Region, they interchange E with I and O with U. &amp;nbsp;I had to hold my laughter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Having a family member with cancer is so draining especially for me and my brother. &amp;nbsp;My dad is confined in Sta. Mesa, we live in Novaliches and my brother works in Pasong Tamo. &amp;nbsp;He works on weekdays and looks after dad on weekends. &amp;nbsp;I went to visit him whenever I can. &amp;nbsp;I have tuberculosis and avoid contact with him. &amp;nbsp;I get tired easily too. &amp;nbsp;Dad is so lucky he got his siblings, nieces and nephews to take care of him. &amp;nbsp;Auntie Susie in particular rarely miss a visit day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I was contemplating on going to Boracay for 6 days as dad was in critical condition prior to this trip. &amp;nbsp;He almost died and we all said our goodbyes. &amp;nbsp;We also went to the extreme of buying his burial clothes just to be ready but he was able to cheat death and beat his Pneumonia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;With confused mind, I went ahead and go to Boracay with Luke. &amp;nbsp;It was my much needed break. &amp;nbsp;I took the risk being ostrecised for my sanity. &amp;nbsp;We went to &lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2011/11/white-beach-boracay.html" target="_blank"&gt;White Beach&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2011/11/puka-beach-yapak-boracay.html" target="_blank"&gt;Puka Beach&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2011/11/ariels-point-buruanga-aklan.html" target="_blank"&gt;Ariel's Point&lt;/a&gt; this time. &amp;nbsp;We also dropped by &lt;a href="http://theclosettravelblogger.blogspot.com/2011/11/club-balai-isabel-talisay-batangas.html" target="_blank"&gt;Club Balai Isabel &lt;/a&gt; for 2 days. &amp;nbsp;Luke learnt how to say &lt;i&gt;malamig na tubig, chicharon, balot &lt;/i&gt;like a vendor. &amp;nbsp;It's very obvious that we've been commuting a lot. :P &amp;nbsp;I thought him to say &lt;i&gt;bayad&lt;/i&gt; and&lt;i&gt; bayag.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp; I kept on saying &lt;i&gt;aray&lt;/i&gt; too which pissed Luke off. &amp;nbsp;He learnt so much tagalog on this trip, I'm so proud of him! &amp;nbsp;I &amp;nbsp;wish he can fluently speak learn tagalog so I don't have to speak English forever 24/7. &amp;nbsp;:P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Going back from Boracay is a challenge. &amp;nbsp;Cebu Pacific cancelled our flight and gave us the 17th of Nov option, we were supposed to leave on the 15th, Roxas the next day or chance passenger on the same day. &amp;nbsp;We choose Roxas and chance passenger. &amp;nbsp;Luckily, despite the drama, we arrived at 9PM the 15th. &amp;nbsp;:) A funny thing happened before we boarded the flight, Luke was weight and an error message appeared. &amp;nbsp;Now I know that the scales limit is 100kgs. &amp;nbsp;I love you babe! &amp;nbsp;xxx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Puka Beach&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My massage was average but I can tell that the masseuse is highly trained. &amp;nbsp;She knows what muscle to pull and was gentle too. &amp;nbsp;The problem is, I don't really do gentle. &amp;nbsp;Hehe. &amp;nbsp;The Pevonia Botanica Facial was to die for. My aesthetician,Naiza, was very gentle on my face and I was thoroughly relaxed through out the whole process. &amp;nbsp;It left my skin soft. &amp;nbsp;I don't know why I don't get facial often. &amp;nbsp;This was my second time. &amp;nbsp;My cherry was popped last week at aescultura but that's another blog entry. &amp;nbsp;If I have money to spare, I would definitely go back. &amp;nbsp;I love my pampering experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;It was very easy to convince Divine to go on a trip. &amp;nbsp;I told her my plans and when I wanna go and off we went to Antipolo. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Crescent Moon Cafe:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I don't know where I found this cafe. &amp;nbsp;I am assuming that I came across this place whilst looking for review on Moon Garden. &amp;nbsp;I read lots of positive reviews and I was curious about their pottery sold by the kilos. &amp;nbsp;To put it lightly, I was disappointed with my whole experience. &amp;nbsp;Lunch is served from 12-2PM, my friend and I arrived at half past(with confirmed booking) and when we walked in into the cafe, everyone looked at us. &amp;nbsp;We were uncomfortable from the minute we walked in. &amp;nbsp;We can't find our seats either no scratch that, there weren't any reserved table for us. &amp;nbsp;The waiter had to borrow seats from neighbouring table. &amp;nbsp;Although the staffs were very nice, our whole Crescent Moon Cafe experienced was ruined. &amp;nbsp;Divine and I can't wait to get away from the place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Two must do things at Crescent Moon Cafe - Eat Suman With Mango and Feed the Fishes. &amp;nbsp;I screamed the first time the fish touched my hand. &amp;nbsp;:P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;BTW, going to Crescent Moon Cafe by commuting is difficult. &amp;nbsp;Most of the tricycle drivers that we asked have not heard of the place. &amp;nbsp;It is handy to bring a printed map or get yourself familiar with the landmarks. &amp;nbsp;It only cost 40PHP from Antipolo Church to Crescent Moon. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I had a bad feeling when I asked the driver to take us to Callos Spa and he don't know where it is. &amp;nbsp;My rationale is, if the place isn't famous then it must not be good. &amp;nbsp;I was right. &amp;nbsp;We were supposed to get the affordable massage but Thank God we changed our mind to an hour combination massage instead. &amp;nbsp;We saved an hour and 250PHP. &amp;nbsp;My friend and I were completely ripped off. &amp;nbsp;We were given a 40 minute mediocre massage. &amp;nbsp;Our attendants left, started chatting and only went back when they heard Divine and I laughing and told us that our time's up. &amp;nbsp;I can't believe that they had the nerve to gave us their tip envelops. &amp;nbsp;Divine told me that her massage was so bad she felt like she was gonna die. &amp;nbsp;Mine's very &lt;i&gt;bitin&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;minadali&lt;/i&gt;. I will not trust the power of DSLR from now on. &amp;nbsp;:P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OYq6lnEsTsk/TkIPr2fqylI/AAAAAAAAFbI/VKFZTgbgY-c/s1600/DSC09150+%2528Small%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OYq6lnEsTsk/TkIPr2fqylI/AAAAAAAAFbI/VKFZTgbgY-c/s640/DSC09150+%2528Small%2529.JPG" width="428" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Going to Antipolo by commuting is easy and cheap. &amp;nbsp;From North, take the MRT to Cubao and change to LRT to Santolan. &amp;nbsp;From Santolan LRT take the FX or Jeep to Antipolo Cathedral. &amp;nbsp;Both ways costed less than 100PHP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I was stressing prior to Luke's arrival. &amp;nbsp;Although I said the statement above, skipping work is not something that I do. &amp;nbsp;I can't remember missing school just because I like it. &amp;nbsp;I can't ask work for 2 days off cause going on hols is not allowed during this period. &amp;nbsp;I told you,&lt;i&gt; di makatarungan. &lt;/i&gt;This is why I don't bother asking. &amp;nbsp;I'd rather not call work for 2 days and accept whatever disciplinary sanction they are gonna give me than explain the situation to them. &amp;nbsp;They won't understand. &amp;nbsp;My absence will affect the groups productivity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;It was a struggle to go to Tagaytay. &amp;nbsp;First, the driver can't find the bus station and he kept on insisting that we go to a different bus station. &amp;nbsp;When we finally did, he dropped us to the wrong station. &amp;nbsp;Second, we were on storm signal number 1 that day. &amp;nbsp;I hate my feet getting wet and I was turning into a bitch again. &amp;nbsp;:P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;T House Tagaytay is very easy to find. &amp;nbsp;We took the first tricycle that we saw and asked them to drop us off to T House. &amp;nbsp;The check in went smoothly. &amp;nbsp;I was a little disappointed with the room size. &amp;nbsp;I felt a little claustrophobic. &amp;nbsp;They only have the basics - toilet, shower, bed, cable TV, A/C, telephone. &amp;nbsp;No wardrobe, just a rack in the toilet where you can hang clothes. &amp;nbsp;No safe to put your valuables. &amp;nbsp;The room smelt of mint though. &amp;nbsp;It was very nice. &amp;nbsp;Basic toiletries were provided too(shampoo, soap and toothbrush). &amp;nbsp;The best thing about the place was the food. &amp;nbsp;I recommend the turon. &amp;nbsp;:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Despite the little disappointments that I wrote, Luke and I enjoyed our stay in T House. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--X7ijyNT8-Q/TjNfGVo1Z8I/AAAAAAAAFZ8/kM_nU-stCVU/s1600/DSC_0537+%2528Small%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--X7ijyNT8-Q/TjNfGVo1Z8I/AAAAAAAAFZ8/kM_nU-stCVU/s640/DSC_0537+%2528Small%2529.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My family expected Luke and I to arrive lunch time. &amp;nbsp;JR informed me that they are actually planning to cook for us. &amp;nbsp;Thank God they didn't as we arrived a little after 3PM and went straight to Isdaan in Tarlac. &amp;nbsp;I've seen the photos, I've seen the reviews and I wanted to go myself and check out the place. &amp;nbsp;I wasn't disappointed. &amp;nbsp;It reminded me of my trip in the floating market in Thailand. &amp;nbsp;I was very much relaxed and had an enjoyable meal. &amp;nbsp;I hope they had a nice time too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;We arrived at Nueva Ecija at 9PM. &amp;nbsp;It was late. &amp;nbsp;We expected the oldies to be in bed but they weren't. &amp;nbsp;I told Luke jokingly that he had to do the filo rights of passage - chopping woods, fetching water, the works. &amp;nbsp;I just love seeing his reactions to anything stupid that I say. &amp;nbsp;Oh life's little pleasure(at the expense of Luke). &amp;nbsp;:P &amp;nbsp;I expected Nomeng to be talkative but she weren't. &amp;nbsp;She said she was speechless. &amp;nbsp;Granny on the other hand asked all the basic questions. &amp;nbsp;When I say basic I mean, "what's your name?", "how old are you?", "where are you from?" - I am not even kidding. &amp;nbsp;It was funny. &amp;nbsp;Luke's visit had her worked up. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Humukay talaga ng Ingles si Lola. &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;I was making fun of her but she told me that at least she is trying. &amp;nbsp;She asked Luke if he can speak tagalog. &amp;nbsp;He said, a little. &amp;nbsp;He said &lt;i&gt;Oo, Hindi, Bakla&lt;/i&gt;. &amp;nbsp;We all laughed when he said it. &amp;nbsp;Can't remember teaching him that. &amp;nbsp;LOL!!! &amp;nbsp;We were knackered when we got in Manila. &amp;nbsp;I went to work the next day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I didn't know how Mama Elen died. &amp;nbsp;I forgot to ask but I know that she is in a better place now with God. &amp;nbsp;She chose to be cremated. &amp;nbsp;I didn't realise how painful seeing someone being cremated. &amp;nbsp;Imagine putting a pizza dough in an oven but instead of dough, you are putting a human. &amp;nbsp;So painful to watch. &amp;nbsp;:(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_vr0PxJqV7Y/TiGiOtUqjQI/AAAAAAAAFZg/280TCoDDgCo/s1600/DSC03162+%2528Small%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_vr0PxJqV7Y/TiGiOtUqjQI/AAAAAAAAFZg/280TCoDDgCo/s640/DSC03162+%2528Small%2529.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I was supposed to go to a affordable spa place in Congressional but I can't find the spa. &amp;nbsp;I am pretty sure that I am in the right place but I can't see any signs pointing me to the place. &amp;nbsp;Frustrated I left and went to the first parlour that I saw. &amp;nbsp;Big mistake. &amp;nbsp;I should have done more research before I went. &amp;nbsp;It's only 300php an hour so there ain't much to lose right? &amp;nbsp;:P &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Everyday, I see the big sign, &lt;b&gt;Fruition Spa 300 per hour&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;on my way home. &amp;nbsp;Curious I went. &amp;nbsp;I was praying the whole time for a clean non spa-kol place. &amp;nbsp;It wasn't. &amp;nbsp;It just that the service was horrible. &amp;nbsp;I was greeted by a bored looking receptionist. &amp;nbsp;When I told her that I wanted Shiatsu, she said okay. &amp;nbsp;She asked to fill up something and took me to the room. &amp;nbsp;I commented on how big the place was. &amp;nbsp;She didn't say anything. &amp;nbsp;She turned on the air conditioning put the light on the brightest setting then left. &amp;nbsp;When the masseuse came back, she asked what I wanted. &amp;nbsp;I told her Shiatsu but she told me to get Swedish instead as she is not so good with Shiatsu. &amp;nbsp;Defeated, I said okay. &amp;nbsp;Although I am settling for less, at least I am settling for what she knew how to do. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The massage itself is okay. &amp;nbsp;She used lots of massage oil to the point that I felt uncomfortably oily after the massage. &amp;nbsp;They use oil in peppermint spa too but they rub you with cornstarch powder afterwards. &amp;nbsp;I do believe in second chances but I don't think I'll come back for more. &amp;nbsp;I can't afford to waste an hour and 300PHP of my own money AGAIN. &amp;nbsp;My spa hopping continues next week. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;As many of you know, I only have a day off every week and it falls on a weekday. &amp;nbsp;My work is physically demanding and on my rest day, I make sure that I treat myself to a massage. &amp;nbsp;It sounds posh but it's not. &amp;nbsp;In the Philippines, spa is an abundance. &amp;nbsp;It caters to different budgets. &amp;nbsp;The only problem is, finding a good,clean spa. &amp;nbsp;Some spas, just like in Thailand offers extra. &amp;nbsp;*wink wink* &amp;nbsp;If you know what I mean. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I've to Peppermint Spa 3 times now and I try different massage every time. &amp;nbsp;On my first visit I tried Thai massage, then Swedish and finally Ventosa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Thai Massage(250PHP):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I would go to Thai massage almost on a daily basis when I used to visit Luke in Thailand. &amp;nbsp;First it was cheap and second, I need something to do with my time. &amp;nbsp;I need to relax after a long day of doing nothing. &amp;nbsp;LOL! &amp;nbsp;Peppermint's Thai Massage is different with the Thai Massage that I had in Thailand. &amp;nbsp;It involves a lot of stretching. &amp;nbsp;If I have to be frank, it's not for people with little tolerance to pain. &amp;nbsp;My massage was hard that I was scared that my bone might break. &amp;nbsp;I kept on moving my big toe to check if I can still feel sensation on the lower part of my body. &amp;nbsp;She was pressing so hard on my back that I couldn't breathe. &amp;nbsp;This massage didn't relax me at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Swedish Massage(350PHP):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I need variations as I get bored easily. &amp;nbsp;On my second visit, I knew Thai massage didn't work for me so I opted for Swedish instead. &amp;nbsp;The service was TDF - to die for!!! &amp;nbsp;I was so relaxed that I was in a happy mood til the next day and I couldn't stop talking about how I enjoyed my massage. &amp;nbsp;Their Swedish Massage focused on my lower back and my legs. &amp;nbsp;They addressed two of my problem areas. &amp;nbsp;I was happy to go again but I was intrigued of their Ventosa Massage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ventosa Massage(600PHP):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Ventosa Massage AKA cupping therapy massage involves sucking out "lamig" on the back. &amp;nbsp;Having the "vacuum" sensation is weird and relaxing at the same time. &amp;nbsp;This left me on a comatose state of relaxation. &amp;nbsp;Enough said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1. &amp;nbsp;When you go for Ventosa and Swedish Massage, shower first. &amp;nbsp;You are not allowed to shower for 24 hours after the massage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;2. &amp;nbsp;They provide t-shirt and shorts for Thai Massage but just shorts for Swedish and Ventosa. &amp;nbsp;Just look at my photo for reference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;3. &amp;nbsp;Don't go for a Swedish and Ventosa if you just shave your legs. &amp;nbsp;It hurts when they wipe the powder out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I haven't been on a company day and to be honest, I don't really get what the fuss was all about. &amp;nbsp;I still don't feel part of the company as I have been only working there for over a month and to be frank, I will choose sleep over the celebration. &amp;nbsp;I have been sleep deprived since working and my body needs rest. &amp;nbsp;My work is very physically draining, something that I didn't factor in when I applied for the position. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The company day fell on a Monday and I did work til 7:30PM that Sunday. &amp;nbsp;I was home before 10PM and woke up at 12 midnight. &amp;nbsp;I couldn't sleep. &amp;nbsp;I was scared that I might sleep through my alarm. &amp;nbsp;I met up my colleague at 3AM to get to Buendia before 4AM. &amp;nbsp;We were scheduled to leave at half past 4AM. &amp;nbsp;We make it through the deadline and was in Batangas by 8AM. &amp;nbsp;Arlene and I slept through the trip. &amp;nbsp;I was still tired when I woke up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My grandma has dementia. &amp;nbsp;She is the sole reason why I visited Marinduque. &amp;nbsp;When I saw her for the first time in years, I introduced myself but she can't recognised me. &amp;nbsp;She asked what my surname is and she said that I am not from that area. &amp;nbsp;Gasan locals surnames starts with &lt;b&gt;S&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I told her that my mum is called &lt;i&gt;Champoy, &lt;/i&gt;her daughter&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;and she recognised the name at first. &amp;nbsp;After a minute, she asked who my mum is again and denied ever knowing anyone called &lt;i&gt;Champoy. &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;It is heart breaking to see her in that state knowing how strong her personality was. &amp;nbsp;Having dementia brought her good and bad things. &amp;nbsp;Losing her dementia means losing her bad memory. &amp;nbsp;She looks more at peace now. &amp;nbsp;She is more approachable. &amp;nbsp;I still remember being scared with her growing up. &amp;nbsp;Too strict, to disciplined - complete opposite of my granny(dad's mum). &amp;nbsp;My grandma had horrible mood swings whilst I was on my visit. &amp;nbsp;She was approachable on the first day, difficult to deal with on the second day and was shouting on the third day. &amp;nbsp;She is still healthy though and can still walk. &amp;nbsp;:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I haven't been in Marinduque in ages and I can't remember spending Holy Week there. &amp;nbsp;I do know about Morions though. &amp;nbsp;I was surprised how traditional they are. &amp;nbsp;They had &lt;i&gt;Aglipay &lt;/i&gt;procession on that Thursday. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Karos&lt;/i&gt; were beautifully decorated, the life sized statues dressed in colourful gowns and the devotees followed their &lt;i&gt;karos&lt;/i&gt; - they prayed the rosary whilst walking&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
