MY TAIWAN TRAVEL Part 3: Day 1

2010-11-29T20:43:00.004+08:00

Good thing there’s no time difference between Taiwan and the Philippines hence, I did not have any jet lag and I was able to sleep well despite the cold. I rested under the comfy sheets provided by the Hsieh family. Upon waking up, it just felt like an ordinary day until it began to dawn upon me that I was in another country :D Immediately, I got up and started to prepare for my official day one

MY TAIWAN TRAVEL Part 2: Arrival

2010-11-20T19:03:00.010+08:00

I could only thank God for making our evening flight very smooth and serene, with no experience of turbulence at all. Or maybe there was but I was able to sleep through the 2 hour flight. And this is to think that we were aboard a Cebu Pacific plane which is relatively smaller than that of Philippine Airlines. In the airport, few minutes after landing, I immediately asked donaldroy, my official

MY TAIWAN TRAVEL Part I: 50% off airfare and visa-free entry :D

2010-11-20T18:32:00.008+08:00

Two days before October of 2010 ended, I flew to the Beautiful Island of Taiwan. FLASHBACK: FEBRUARY 2010 The decision for this travel came on an impulse when Cebu Pacific slashed 50% off select Asian flight fares. It was a 3-day promo only and I grabbed the chance immediately. The total price paid was sooooooo cheap and comparable to regular domestic airfares ( Manila to and from other key

Ortigas Once More (A some sort of Road Trip guide and Plea to the Gov't)

2010-10-24T12:05:00.003+08:00

Consider this a sequel to my previous Ortigas vs Makati post. Well, I say move over BDO, I also find ways haha! In this case, I found a way to lessen my weariness in going home to Marikina after a day’s work in Makati. Instead of taking a shuttle from Makati, which supposedly is convenient because I would have to take just one ride to get home BUT NOT

Oh Ortigas, How I Long For Thee (Unlike Makati)

2010-10-18T08:07:00.001+08:00

Oh Ortigas, how I long for theeYou are very much unlike Makati You have this laid back, friendlier demeanorI realized I couldn't ask for anything more I don't have to wake up very earlyAnd rush through the dawn just to get to theeAnd when I get home at night, I don't feel tired at allWhy, I could still even go to a ball With Ortigas I take things in strideI could still walk with a little bit

No, this isn't about Jacob Black :))A few minutes ago, I was admiring (a long overdue reaction though) our PC set... looks so elegant as everything's black - from the monitor, to the CPU, to the speakers, to the headset, to the modem, to the webcam/mic, to the mouse...everything's well..black :)Then it just crossed my mind... I remembered the meeting I attended few weeks ago, there was no

It's been a while since I last posted here, and yes I am once again blaming it to my eternal busy bee disposition. The last entry seems to be incomplete and now after a few months, I am going to reiterate two of the exciting happenings "after the storm" :)Firstly, "the person I care for" whom I thought was unfairly judged is now over with the incident. Now, he fully understands why it had to

This is one of those wala lang blog entries..Just want to assure everyone that after the outburst (read the previous entry), I am calm now haha.....but but but, it does not mean that I am not pushing for action anymore...I still do and I am actually more insistent than before! (If no action will be done, there will surely be a relapse and I would return to my original state.) :)With that said, I

2009-01-11T19:35:00.003+08:00

I've been thinking if I should stop myself from ranting on this matter but I obviously cannot control my emotions anymore so I just have to do this!!!! Ganun pala yun, kapag yung taong mahalaga sa'yo lantarang inaapi, nakakasama ng loob! Yung tipong yung side lang nung isa ang pinakinggan kaya jinudge na sya! Ganun pala yun, kapag kitang-kita mo na sa mata ng taong mahalaga sa'yo ang kalungkutan

Grave of the Fireflies...A Must See Film!!!!

2009-01-10T13:22:00.001+08:00

I find this Japanese movie so emotionally haunting and heartbreaking, a definite eye-opener to the harsh realities of war and to the lessons of life, love and sacrifice.Set in Japan, towards the end of World War 2, the film becomes a real tearjerker as it unfolds the sad plight of two orphaned children, Seita (14 years old) and his 4-year old sister Setsuko, who are forced to survive on their own

My ultimate Christmas wish was not granted...

2008-12-30T23:37:00.001+08:00

Last Christmas (and my birthday too), I whispered to the heavens to grant me my ultimate wish - REST and RELAXATION. But with all the tasks on my shoulder- careerwise, churchwise, familywise and selfwise, I have never really had a chance to chill out- mainly because of the seemingly endless work worries (special mention would be the recording of Sarah for a radio station which was postponed 3

Unrequited Love and Impacted Wisdom Tooth

2008-12-21T19:33:00.000+08:00

"Unrequited love is like an impacted wisdom tooth. Its growth is inevitable, forcefully pushing its way to the surface in order to get exposed. But there's simply no room for it, no proper place for it to fully erupt. And then it gets so painful and when the suffering becomes intense and recurring, one is left with no choice but to extract it out of the system." - goldabidz Wala lang naman, right

"Mars - The Roman God of War"The other night, there was an impromptu movie bonding among the male members of our household - my father, my uncle and my two bros, and oh my boyfriend who dropped by to visit me. They watched this war movie, the title of which, well, I can't recall anymore.As far as I remember, it was the first time that I saw all of them seated together and looking into the boob

In memory of Chuchu the DOGstar, 1999-2008

2008-11-24T08:07:00.002+08:00

Our beloved pet chuchu passed away last Sunday (around 3am per my uncle's estimate)......and what better time to happen...when the whole family was gone for a 3-day church activity...guess he didn't want us to see him in his final moment...that would be more painful......or perhaps he tried his best to wait for us before catching his last breath...but to no avail...Whatever it is, Chuchu will

Oh no! Our dog's dying?

2008-11-17T20:28:00.000+08:00

Just a few minutes ago, my mom commented "Malapit na si Chuchu"...waa she meant that our dear dog's final days are nearing. Chuchu (see Chuchu the dogstar album for photos) has a liver disease that's not quite clear to me. I'll do some investigating tomorrow. Oh no...I have been hoping that even just my future firstborn will be able to play with him (...him...yeah the treatment's all too human,

I am able to shop (be it actually buying something or merely window shopping) without worrying that if I take too long in doing so, someone will surely get pissed off and threaten to walk out. ... I am able to focus more on my own thoughts and reflections. ... I am able to

NIGHTS at VIVA office (donaldroy part 2)

2008-10-07T17:55:00.001+08:00

Since the onset of the week, Donald and I have been spending nights at Viva office (WHOLESOME THOUGHTS please!:)) because of the seemingly endless preparations for the upcoming business planning. Of course, he has nothing to do with Viva business planning, but he definitely has something to do with me hehe, as I've said he's my forever ojt, and a very patient one I should say.:))*As of this

donald roy, my forever OJT hehehe

2008-10-07T08:54:00.000+08:00

I can't be thankful enough to God for giving me someone who is willing to waste his evenings in my office, just to wait for me as I bury my head into the pile of tasks I have to accomplish for the day... That even in work struggles and suffering, his smile is enough to keep me at peace :))

"Business" of Two Grown-up Girls

2008-10-03T22:33:00.000+08:00

Years ago, "business" for my friend Sam (Echavez) and I would be something connected with Kustura, our org in UP and that includes the following: preparing for LISTO (our annual interschool quiz bee in Marikina, discerning what to do during the ACLE, finalizing the recruitment process, revising the org's constitution and by-laws, voting in favor or not in favor of someone's impeachment, and many
