Simple & Quick: Trip Journal by iQapps

2010-12-05T22:25:00.001+08:00

I found this very convenient app for the iphone called, “Trip Journal” by iQapps. It’s a simple and quick tool to record your travels that keeps your photos, videos, location and your notes in one site. It requires you to have an internet connection, whether on 3G, Edge or Wifi. I tried it on my phone and the GPS Positioning works really well. If you can’t access your location, you can always

The Phone Call…

As we got into the cab, the look on the driver’s face just gave it all. There was an air of sadness and quietness, and his face…it was blank… …and so we rolled and passed EDSA….seeing: EDSA’s hustle and bustle with cars, trucks and buses all trying to squeeze in around you, honking and tailgating…but the driver managed to squeeze us out of the tangled mess just in the nick of time… As we got

Un Paradis Sur Terre…

An escape to a Tropical Paradise in the South Seas… Peace…Tranquility…Bliss…This is what you will find in Alegre Beach Resort and Spa, located in the north eastern region of Cebu, in the coastal town of Sogod. The resort is about an hour and half drive from Cebu City, approximately 75 Kilometers from Mactan International Airport. Upon entering the hugely gated resort, I knew it was going to

Bluewater in Mactan Island

2010-11-24T09:48:00.000+08:00

On a recent trip to Cebu, I was asked to visit a few resorts for a possible wedding location for my cousin who plans to get married next year here in the Philippines. Thanks to a good friend from Cebu, we were able to drive to Mactan Island to check out Maribago Bluewater. The sun was high up and it was a perfect day to go to the beach. As we entered the Lobby, I was greeted with smiles on

Il Vittore

2010-02-04T03:52:00.004+08:00

Here's something I've been wanting to share, a little inspiration to remind us that our lives really depend on us. Original poem by: C.W. Longenecker. I tried to translate it in Italian, since I am trying to learn this language. So, I hope it makes sense, just in case any Italian drops by my site. Hahaha!Il VittoreSe pensi di essere picchiati, si.Se pensi di non osare, non si.Se vi piace vincere,

Desde que fue internado en el hospital en Marzo de 2009, me dije que nunca volvere! Nunca me gusto ir a los hospitales. Nunca quise ser tratados alli a todos! El incidente en Marzo pasado 2009 fue la primera vez que se limita cada vez en toda mi vida! Por primera vez con dextrosa y por primera vez de dormir en hospital por mas de 24 horas!

....now ready to write.It took me a while to get myself to write. So much had happened that it blew me away. Although I can't say I'm actually not craving to tell another story, because I really am. The events that took place meant a great deal to all of us. These events will never be forgotten.It's 2010 already. The New Year had gone by and ever since that day, I know that there's so much coming

A Cry For Yellow

2009-08-01T17:39:00.014+08:00

I woke up at 4:20pm earlier and I was a still a bit buzzed. Today is the 1st of August 2009. Went to get a cup of hot Milo for my first drink, then turned on the TV. It was just then that I realized that Mrs. Cory Aquino, the Mother President, had already passed away earlier today. Right now, the TV Stations here in the Philippines are showing their own tributes to Mrs. Cory, and as I watch and

Yesterday I was like a singing bird, soaring freely here and there in the fields. Today I am a SLAVE to fickle Wealth, society rules and city customs, purchased friends, pleasing the people by conforming to the strange and narrow LAWS of men. I was born to be free and enjoy the bounty of life, but I find myself like a beast of burden so heavily laden with gold that his back is breaking. Yesterday

Je souhaite que...Un jour viendra ou je serai en mesure de voler librement partout ou le vent me prend, a un bel endroit eloigne loin des yeux mechants et des abeilles ragots. A cet endroit, je vais creer mon sanctuaire de paix, ou il y'a seulement l'amour et de bonheur, ou toutes les creatures, des lezards aux lions, des crapauds aux baleines, des oiseaux aux dragons, tous sont libres, mais tous

Just A Little Smile

Here's a story I found as I was browsing. Somehow I felt this story should be shared to everyone to remind them of the simple things in life. With our ever-growing population, things become more complicated. People become too busy and they forget about the simplest things that make them happy. Sometimes they also miss a lot of chances to make things right, only because they become too preoccupied

Magic!

What is Magic?People of all civilizations, since the early times of man, have placed their faith in the use of various forms of magical practices.

4 Noble Truths

2009-03-16T03:03:00.004+08:00

LIFE MEANS SUFFERING.To live means to suffer, because the human nature is not perfect and neither is the world we live in. During our lifetime, we inevitably have to endure physical suffering such as pain, sickness, injury, tiredness, old age, and eventually death; and we have to endure psychological suffering like sadness, fear, frustration, disappointment, and depression. Although there are

Still Thoughts by Dharma Master Cheng

2009-02-08T16:17:00.023+08:00

THE GOAL OF LIFELife lasts but a few decades, whereas wisdom is eternal. Just as we give life to our children, we should also provide them with wonderful memories and an education with love. In this way, we can make our wisdom immortal. The reason the world, the nation, society and families cannot achieve a peaceful and friendly state is because we only fight to survive, but fail to discover the

Square Watermelons

Lessons of the Square WATERMELONSJapanese grocery stores had a problem. They are much smaller than their US counterparts and therefore don't have room to waste. Watermelons, big and round, wasted a lot of space. Most people would simply tell the grocery stores that watermelons grow round and there is nothing that can be done about it. That is how I would assume the vast majority of people would

Yet another Controversy of a crying Nation?

2008-02-15T11:38:00.016+08:00

For the past weeks, my country, The Philippines, has been experiencing major setbacks that is making everything seem to be incredible and almost absurd! I'm not political, but in terms of voicing out my opinion, I am aware of my rights. As a citizen of a nation, one must be aware of the things around them, not only to the extent of my interests, but for the sake of others as well.Here are the
