pinkurinal.com is expiring soon

Posted: August 31st, 2009 | No Comments »

By soon, I mean this month. And I think I’m doomed.
The ex boyfriend registered this domain last year. He doesn’t have the decency to talk to me, or reply to my emails regarding inquiries about the domain. So there, I guess I’m gonna wait for the domain to expire so …

Making My Momma Proud

Posted: August 31st, 2009 | No Comments »

Today is September 1, 2009. This simply means that today is the start of the BER months! Our calendars will surely be filled with lots of activities for the upcoming Halloween and the Holidays. For me, the 1st of September is truly special because my loving mama turns 47 today!

With Carlo and Mama before my graduation last November 2007

I had the chance to call my mom earlier. She is now based in England together with my brother Carlo. My mom answered the phone gleefully as she originally thought that I’ll miss greeting her on her special day. I haven’t talked to her for a long time (five days to be exact teehee) and she panicked already.

If only mama was here, I’d ask her out to the salon and have our hair done. We will also go to a spa house and relax a bit. We can do a little bit […]

Surf’s Up 2009

Posted: August 31st, 2009 | No Comments »

Surf Season’s coming!  Usually it’s starting now but lately there’s just no waves on the beaches.  Hopefully by September there would be some swell coming up!  Definitely the months of October to December got really big crazy waves!
Preparing for surf season
1.  Buy Sunblock or Tanning lotion!
It depends whether you want to stay fair or get tanned, the important is, get protected from the Sun’s UV harmful rays!  Also, you might want to buy an anti-jellyfish lotion as well!
2.  Check out the swell forecast before planning your surftrip!
magicseaweed or wetsand
3.  Where to surf in the Philippines?

La Union – ideal for beginners

In the Philippines, LU should be the first beach you visit if you’re just trying out surfing.  The beach is friendly because it’s just sand bottom.  You can surf here without really knowing how to swim because you can surf at around 5 ft.  Plus, there are a lot of surf […]

MDPC at Pan De Amerikana Marikina

Posted: August 30th, 2009 | No Comments »

Yesterday, I attended Marikina Digital Photographers Club’s (MDPC) 1st Year Anniversary at Pan De Amerikana Marikina. I’m not familiar with the place and I know there will be many photographers will come, so, I choose to arrive early.
Hot Pandesal for you

It’s raining but the show must go on. The program started with a dramatic prayer and an emotional National Anthem. We have some portrait photoshooting but I don’t think I did great because of my direct flash! I will post it until I finished editing.

Windmill

They have a big chess area for Masochists.

Vintage Walls

Just grab some chess and play on the tables.

Little Pond.

They have free lessons!

The baker.

The area is also a WiFi Zone, perfect combination for coffee and pandesal.

This is the whole area’s ceilings. Nature friendly and cool.

The restaurant is very vintage looking. Very classic, but uses cheap materials such as woods, clays, etc., which gives a long lasting aged aura.

I […]

Let’s Go Surfing sa San Juan, La Union!

Posted: August 27th, 2009 | No Comments »

To celebrate his 1st year in the blogosphere, my dear friend Jonel Uy of LetsGoSago.net organized a surfing event for bloggers. He informed me about his plans months ago and I initially said yes, but due to my work schedule and other commitments, I begged off two weeks before. Who would have thought that I pushed through with the trip and decided six hours before the scheduled departure date?

Surfing for the first time in San Juan, La Union

My blogger friends harassed me that afternoon. I figured out that maybe I can join them as long as I go back to Manila on Sunday morning because I need to go to work at 2pm. My former officemates also invited me for a very special get-together that Friday night that’s why I had a hard time deciding. After sipping my favorite mocha drink, I finally gave Jonel a call and confirmed my […]

Singapore Grand Prix 2008 vs 2009 F1 circuit

Posted: August 26th, 2009 | No Comments »

The difference between the Singapore Grand Prix 2008 and 2009 Circuit.
…and where to strategically position yourself for the race day!
**This is actually a re-post from my previous entry Buy Cheaper Signapore Grand Prix Tickets. The reason I reposted it is because people tend to get lost in my blog and they keep on asking me where the best seats are but they didn’t know I created this post long long ago.  Plus, I added a little bit more information by the end of the post.

Yes indeed this is one of my dissapointments. The main difference between last year’s ticket sales and this year’s is that they no longer offer seats to the Singapore Flyer. This was a total dissapointment for me because to last year, this was where I was stationed.

Fully utilized my walk-about Sunday ticket and was stationed here in 2008 at the Singapore Flyer area for great […]

No Woman No Cry – Unlocked

Posted: August 26th, 2009 | No Comments »

He’s not Bob Marley!  But he just made a very good cover of it… so listen first and enjoy…

So what does the song mean???
Bob Marley’s song “No Woman No Cry” has brought confusion to the listeners.
I have always thought that “No Woman No Cry” is an if-then statement.
[IF] there’s no woman, [THEN] There’s no cry… and I was like… I don’t dig this song so much!  It’s like erm, Bob wants no woman?
But then Jamaican English is different from the standard English and it should be interpreted as “No, Woman no cry” and not “No Woman, no cry”.
Translation in standard English, “Woman, don’t cry.”  *phew* way to go Bob, you’re my raggamuffin hero!
It makes perfect sense if you interpret it  as “Woman, don’t cry” if you read the lyrics below..

In this great future you can’t forget your past, So dry your tears
I say and to my peeps who passed away,
No […]
