My Life's Rollercoaster Ride

Relaxing At Eden (2009)

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:19:00 +0000

So glad that my group of friends did push through with our plan to have an overnight stay @ Eden Nature Park and Resort in Toril, Davao City. Of course, the said getaway last October 17-18, 2009 would not be made possible if not because of ND, our balikbayan friend who came home for a vacation after staying for more than a year as an OFW in Kuwait. Excitedly, we met up at Mercury Drug-Toril at about 2:00 PM. Since it was only DD's car who's gonna take us all up there, I went ahead with ND, AM (ND's friend), and our preggy guest who happened to be RP's wife along with KC their daughter. Friends who cannot be accomodated yet in the car took time to do their marketing job at Toril's Wet Market. My friends and I finally reached Eden after a few minutes of travel. Immediately, ND and I headed to the office for check-in. After ND paid everything, we had a shuttle ushered us to the Pine Lodge - our precious accomodation courtesy of ND. We unloaded our things and unpacked them while waiting for the others to arrive. As soon as they arrived, we immediately grabbed the chance to visit Eden's Swimming Pool. We first took pics of the pool and of ourselves. After a while, we took a dip at the pool. Funny cos it was me who got into the pool last because it's way tooooo cooooold! I was freezing and shaking vigorously! It took minutes before I got used to the cold water inside. There, we had fun chatting, giggling, sharing jokes and taking pictures! Really had a good time at the pool. It's as if we owned it privately because we're the only ones in the pool area.

Since it's already getting late, we hurried back to the lodge. Everyone took turns in using all three shower rooms while some did heed up to cook for dinner. The chef of night? It was GC. He cooked Sinigang Na Hipon and Fried Hipon. Other foods for dinner include Sinugbang Isda and Sinugbang Baboy. When everything was set, we ate dinner. It was a great dinner cos everyone's burping after (LOL!). After dinner, everybody's got into the groove to whine the night away! Guys played cards while taking some sips of liquor. Yours truly had a single sip though cos I was way too tired and sleepless after coming from a graveyard shift. I just joined in conversations, eating pica-picas and got into the move in picture taking sessions. I never had an idea up to what time they remained awake because I was fast asleep after midnight. But I did have an idea that these guys were joking around inside the bedroom. LOL!

Early morning, I was awakened by RP making some noise to wake us all up. We immediately prepared for breakfast. Breakfast was composed of beaf steak, a scrambled egg, loaves of bread, plus coffees to all coffee lovers. We ate breakfast outside just adjacent to the dining area. Only difference here is we got to feel the fresh air outside. Again we spent much time chatting while eating breakfast.

Since we hardly had enough time left, we hurriedly got ourselves fixed for our guided tour. Past 9:00AM, a shuttle took us to a tour with a tour guide in tow to make us more familiar of the places of interest inside Eden. We passed along the Fishing Village, the Deer Park, a man-made forest with tall trees, the organice and herb garden with a collection of fruit trees. We stopped along three spots such as the Flower Garden and Amphitheater where beautiful flowers are found including the Prayer Garde, the Tinubdan that gives guests a glimpse of the Lumad life, and of course Lola's Garden. We also passed along their playgrounds, campsites, and even got a grasp on the paths of their mountain trail adventure which we greatly missed doing. For our final stop, we grabbed the chance to roam around the grounds of Eden. KC and her dad grabbed the chance to play at the playgrounds while we're doing the exciting Indiana Jones adventure. After sweating out during the tour, we had some relaxation at the top garden camwhoring, LOL! These are the memories we got during our 2-day getaway:

Marco Polo Time =)

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:46:00 +0000

Better late than never that's why I apologize for posting this late. Last October 9, I had the chance to meet again my friends in the profession as we were gathered by Sir Ray, our foreign recruitment director, for a meeting @ The Marco Polo. It was a cozy meeting for me cos it was held in a comfortable, fully air-conditioned room situated @ the 3rd level of the hotel, exactly near the pool. The meeting was good though we kinda envied the personalities showcased in Sir Ray's VTRs wishing we could finally be like them working @ NC. Of course, the meeting wouldn't be complete without the snacks being served. We had pasta and chicken along with a large size iced-tea. The meeting only lasted for a few hours and off we went doing some pictorials, seizing the moments during our stay @ The Marco. These are the pics obtained:

Post-less Blogs

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:38:00 +0000

I have had an ample of blogs governed online. In fact, I even made money on some blogs during the first few months I was really into it. However, lately, I realized I never had time anymore to blog. I only visited them when I go online. Seems like I am always running out of ideas on what to write. I mean, this is so not me! I've been a certified blogger since Friendster days and I just love to write but now, I realized I never had the passion to write on some stuffs. I admit I am too busy with work and too busy with my extra-curricular activities. This must be the reasons why. Now, I'd really wanna get back into blogging which I deem to love the most and I do hope this will be realized as the days go by.

Coping, Coping, Coping I MUST!

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:23:00 +0000

I was in total rage the past few days. I have just reacted over such a childish behavior with somebody I refused to name. I mean, I've been silent for many months but seems like this somebody really wanted to get the hell out of me. However, I still wanna keep my feet on the ground and act professionally. Thanks to bunch of friends who are always there to listen to my every woe. That really counts a lot in coping up with what's supposedly not a big deal because the person is just too immature to handle mature acts. Nways, I tried to get my way out from rage by staying in control and do everything I can as my way of coping up. The other day, Friday, I was at the Marco Polo with friends. We had a meeting with Sir Ray, our US-based boss. After that we went camwhoring around the Marco. Before 5:00 PM, we hit Chimes who then was having an anniversary sale. We saw a lot of fine things to buy at discounted prices and guess what? I spent money for my 2 blouses. After loitering along Chimes, I had dinner with Grace @ Penong's and then decided to visit G-Mik to sing the night away. It was past 11pm when we went home. Today, I heard mass after work then ate dinner with Love2x @ Torres. Went home this early because a heavy rain is taking place right now. Gotta end up here and til next time! =) and yes, I am still coping, coping, and life must go on!

My Eyes Are Hurting Again!

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:43:00 +0000

My first and last eye check up was in the 3rd quarter of 2004 and oh boy, it was barely 5 years ago since I purchased my first eyeglasses. Now my eyes are constantly hurting again from strains, glares, and other stuff and I realized that now is the best time to really get in touch with my eye doctor. If I'd be able to purchase new set again, my favorite high fashion eyeglasses would be from Zenni's. These are my bets which I'd gladly like to have:

Fabulous eyeglasses, right? Now I can't really wait for my eye check up before the month ends!

You Want Hatred Huh!?!

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:29:00 +0000

When I am mad, I am just mad in the "present moment" and in the "here-and-now" scenario. Friends whom we used to start off as enemies could attest to that. After experiencing such emotion, I'd be fine and everything's gonna be okay. But there's this one single person who thinks he is the ruler of the world wanted me to give him hatred just what he's doing right now. Hahayz. this is what really people can do when they thought they're on top. As if it's the very top! How is it guys? Should I hate him too? I still have this inch of patience though... for now.. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Typhoon Ondoy Saddens Filipinos and the World

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:41:00 +0000

I've been active on Twitter and most of the persons I follow are from Manila. Earlier Saturday, September 26, 2009, I was alarmed by the tweets from Twitter that there was a continuous heavy rainfall all over Metro Manila and the northeastern part of Luzon. Sad part was when I came to see images of floods over the internet and the television as the effects of the heavy rainfall. It's really unbelievable cos I've never seen such houses drowned in the flood. Plus the aerial view of Metro Manila was so saddening. Another one that hit me most was a video clip of a family who rode a flowing rooftop off the river. Until now, I still can't believe that all these have happened. Already recited my prayers to the One Most High hoping that many Filipinos will be saved and will be given good lives. By the way, I found this heartwarming video @ Youtube. Kudos to its maker because it did touch my heart. I am now sharing this video so everyone else in this blogosphere would have an idea how Typhoon Ondoy did attack the Filipinos.

Car Becoming A Necessity

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:40:00 +0000

Owning a car is like being practical these days. It is not anymore a luxury but it has become a necessity especially in countries where public utility vehicles are nowhere to be found. Most of the people I know have resorted to buy cars. It is not just merely limiting to buying brand new cars but for practical reasons, a lot have opted to buy used cars for as long as they're in good running condition. In our city alone, there have been a lot of used cars for sale and are on display along the streets. I am just wondering how much does each car costs. If I were to decide I'd simply buy a used car for as long as it can serve me best.

I'm Not Gonna Complain =)

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:41:00 +0000

I used to complain about things, why this can be this and why it isn't that. However, I learn to appreciate why I need not complain on things. I learn to accept why things have to be this way. I realized that perhaps I am just capable to handle such matters worth complaining about because all these have been laid on me. For now, I'd say I am one heck of a lucky person being given a lot of responsibilities to attend to because some people believe that I can! =)

Thursday Thunks: Dying, Buying, Eating, & More

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:46:00 +0000

Welcome to the September 10th version of Thursday Thunks!

(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)

Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by

Kimber, the number 999 and the color of a butterfly sitting on a red rose.

1. A 90 year old man's dying wish in South Carolina was to be buried in his car. Link If you were told tomorrow you have 3 weeks to live, would you have any dying wishes or something special done before you died? *** Yes. I wanna spend that three (3) weeks with a special someone in the beach.

2. Do you pay for more stuff using a credit/debit card or cold hard cash? *** I always pay using a cold hard cash cos I don't personally own a credit card except for the supplementary card given by my sis which I so rarely use.

3. What's cuter- a baby lizard or a baby snake? *** Any other choices? I am not really a big fan of these two but since they're down to two options perhaps I'd prefer a baby lizard than a baby snake.

4. You go out to eat by yourself at a restaurant. While waiting for your food do you people watch & easedrop on others conversations, read a book, use a laptop or chat with people around you? *** When I am eating out alone, I usually just watch other people come and go in a restaurant while waiting for my food. I don't mind what they're talking about, hehehe..

5. If you see someone walking around with toilet paper stuck to their shoe, do you tell them or just laugh? *** Perhaps I'd surely tell them about it.

6. You are talking to someone you just met but you can't understand them at all because of their accent. Do you tell them you can't understand them or just smile and nod? *** Of course, I'd tell them to repeat what they're saying. =)

7. Mudfest! Park filled with pools of mud and an obstacle course of mud. Do you go and play in the mud? *** If everybody is doing it, why not? =)

8. Have you ever had a headache so bad it effected your vision? ***I had experienced what I considered as terrible headache attacks before but they were never that worst compared to some where it has to do something with my vision (I hope and pray I won't reach that point).

9. Would you fit in more with the circus, Hollywood, Broadway, or comedy circuit types? ***I guess I'd fit more in a circus, but I'm just gonna watch and not to be among those participating in it.

5. Being too nice to a guy until this guy allows me to get drawn to him.
6. Eating too much at times.

8. Skipping breakfast.
9. Sleeping with the TV on.

No Rice Policy...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 07:02:00 +0000

Since I was in Bohol until a few days back, I noticed that I ate too much! I became a voracious eater of anything I crave about. When I checked on my weight, I noticed that I gained some pounds. Figuring out that I did gain some weight, I instantly thought of trying to dislike rice once and for all. I actually started my no-rice policy two days ago. At Pizza Hut, I did not order any rice meal. The morning after, I only had bread with pancit canton and I did not eat lunch. However, I failed to fulfill my promise during dinner time because I felt like I was starving to death. I only ate few spoonfuls but promised that I really need to adhere with my no-rice policy. I just hope I'd become successful with this quest.
