Have you seen this? It's for sale in one of the most popular online selling platforms.<br />
<br />
I am sooo scared!<br />

I shudder at the thought of someone wearing these. I shudder more at the title/description of the item for sale! "Hip-hop Act the role Ofing is Tasted". Wait, is it supposed to be eaten?<br />
<br />
What's funnier is that in the lowest portion: Buy 50 and save P8,785.00. Who in his right mind will buy 50 of these?<br />
<br />
Freedom of expression? Ok, fine. To each his own (gold teeth).</div>

Hubby asked me about sarcophagus (plural, sarcophagi) this morning. Since it had been a long time since I took World History, I tried to google stuff about it and mummies.<br />
<br />
Then I chanced upon this online <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/gallery/2016/may/01/pharoahs-tomb-ancient-egypt">article</a> that I thought would be great for kids. Illustrations were made by Isabel and Imogen Greenberg. Further googling revealed that they are sisters who are illustrators. They've written and illustrated several books on ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and other ancient civilizations. Talk about real talent!<br />
<br />
The article talks about what can be found in a pharoah's tomb.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Kids nowadays are more into gadgets, videos, and less reading. Making them read this may awaken their interest for reading.<br />
<br />
Wouldn't your kid's interest be piqued by this?<br />

It was so beautiful! My top three favorites were:<br />
<br />
1. Nami Island<br />
2. Everland Theme Park<br />
3. The sea gulls at the Hyundai River Cruise<br />
<br />
The Koreans are friendlier too than the nationals of the other country we visited recently. <br />
<br />
Enough of the talk. Here are some pictures...<br />

Happy new year!<br />
<br />
Our country is beset by another typhoon so here's a little tip which can hopefully help our kababayans: emergency loan with GSIS.<br />
<br />
GSIS members working or residing in the areas declared under a state of calamanity, and those old-age pensioners can avail of an emergency loan.<br />
<br />
Please click on this <a href="http://www.gsis.gov.ph/active-members/loans/emergency-assistance-loan/areas-eligible-for-emergency-loan/ rel="nofollow">link</a> for details.<br />
<br />
I think the loanable amount if P40,000 for those without existing emergency loans, and P20,000 for those with existing emergency loans.<br />
<br />
Ingat po.<br />

It's the holidays, so I am still online window shopping, or is it window online shopping? Haha!<br />
<br />
While browsing through some online shops, I saw some interesting stuff (being sarcastic here, my dears). Here they are:<br />
<br />
1. Brand new fake tooth cover<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-bHPg95nPVmKx7lWD_AtZ-M7y5csAqev_0ZVCFzXtBtd3Du8rDDkmFeGtpduKHmzjTNu8Q3XOpMeQ0gayRdrMGl1d8V3relYrFNmthcpZZ7dzi8eQ2gdPUOGgw-TYYT7_2PPRldOyoyc/s1600/teeth.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="505" data-original-width="778" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-bHPg95nPVmKx7lWD_AtZ-M7y5csAqev_0ZVCFzXtBtd3Du8rDDkmFeGtpduKHmzjTNu8Q3XOpMeQ0gayRdrMGl1d8V3relYrFNmthcpZZ7dzi8eQ2gdPUOGgw-TYYT7_2PPRldOyoyc/s400/teeth.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Who, in his right mind, would bay second hand fake tooth/cover-whatever-that-is?<br />
<br />
2. Polaroid camera cover<br />
<br />
There's really nothing wrong with buying a polaroid camera cover IF the description fits the name of the product.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaeVJzEABXG32LGtdV2BkbJc4InPE24SaG8mJ_ln2LpjrAYprMioyjfI0C1LMlCzEHDGkkPKflIyGu4EUrDQKx4RLErj7DdRwN92vN4wKoerz5K7FtsUP_1vgKjx2zSSy71iAIDm938SE/s1600/fuji.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="968" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaeVJzEABXG32LGtdV2BkbJc4InPE24SaG8mJ_ln2LpjrAYprMioyjfI0C1LMlCzEHDGkkPKflIyGu4EUrDQKx4RLErj7DdRwN92vN4wKoerz5K7FtsUP_1vgKjx2zSSy71iAIDm938SE/s400/fuji.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
See the description: HD pixels, accurate recording action, blah blah, for only P599.00. This description is for the camera, and not for the cover which is the one being sold. If one is not too careful, that person would think that he/she is buying a polaroid camera, and not a cover, at a very cheap price!<br />
<br />
3. Diffuser<br />
<br />
Diffusers are good. I am just not sure if they really serve the purpose, but a good friend gave me a portable one and I like user it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywgzRGPkM-rYOqBO8T5bmktjgSYFmmXRyAl4jziBdhJ544y-FhUGKnSBugojbFDxSiCj_H7bXZjToNOMeKOldniCdp-lXarXqnj_faw6pKKoLIzQ2ByzAVIXvLBIdVHIYS4-8TCDeerc/s1600/diffuse.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="511" data-original-width="886" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiywgzRGPkM-rYOqBO8T5bmktjgSYFmmXRyAl4jziBdhJ544y-FhUGKnSBugojbFDxSiCj_H7bXZjToNOMeKOldniCdp-lXarXqnj_faw6pKKoLIzQ2ByzAVIXvLBIdVHIYS4-8TCDeerc/s400/diffuse.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I really have no problem with the description of this product, but the answers of the seller to the customer queries bugged me, a lot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gzRJtQ6Kgid9W_5aEQSUAQwwa71-xbP8SAgkKrJboDGRhBDWNQ09b5AGhluvXUrB9DdpIxse3kh1xqRptnZPBsIFXiGO04evjyqY0PkK4JRYYuoU3bcedqOIzHOwjiHQdb5WG4AuJhc/s1600/qa.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="813" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gzRJtQ6Kgid9W_5aEQSUAQwwa71-xbP8SAgkKrJboDGRhBDWNQ09b5AGhluvXUrB9DdpIxse3kh1xqRptnZPBsIFXiGO04evjyqY0PkK4JRYYuoU3bcedqOIzHOwjiHQdb5WG4AuJhc/s320/qa.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
5 inch. Wahahahahaha!<br />
<br />
Some people would say, "<i>are arte naman nito</i>," or "<i>ang yabang, akala mo naman ang galing mag-English</i>." But I see a deeper meaning here. If a seller would not take great care in ensuring that the description of the product is exactly what the product is, or would not take time to properly answer a customer's questions about the product, then that says a lot about the product that one is buying.<br />
<br />
<i>Mahirap kumita ng pera</i>, and winning in the lottery is not an everyday occurrence, so that's why we have to be careful where we are putting our money.<br />
<br />
True, online shopping is really convenient. I do a lot of my shopping online too, but we have to really know what we are paying for - the product, its quality, and the after-sales service.<br />
<br />
So, as the saying goes, buyers beware!<br />
<br />

I am not sure when I started dreaming of owning Sharpie pens. Call me "mababaw ang kaligayahan" but it's one of my dreams to get Sharpie pens. I don't even know why. I just heard that they write better and last longer than ordinary markers.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So after months of salivating over the 21-piece Sharpie pens at National, I tried to search for a cheaper alternative in Lazada. It's 25 pieces this time, at P729.00.<br />

Surigao is pleasant. Sadly, I didn't have a full day to enjoy it... just a couple of hours only since we had to work.<br />

And when in Surigao, it is a must to visit Siargao, the surfing capital of the Philippines.<br />
<br />
Siargao is about 2 1/2-3 hours away from Surigao City via a motor vessel. Fare is P210 pesos, plus P15.00 terminal fee. Tricycle to the surfing area costs around P200 for the entire tricycle. The ride from the port to the accommodations was roughly an hour of scenic, winding road.<br />

The port is very clean! The ship is also clean! There's tv in every cabin, or whatever they call it. There was a promo at that time- it was on the deck- for about P175 or 190. It was not airconditioned and there was no tv, but you see close up where the ship is going and you can feel the wind on your hair and the amazing scent of the sea. I would have chosen that, but I had my colleagues with me, and I didn't want to burden them since they may not be the outdoorsy type.<br />

We went island hopping for P1500- three persons already. It was the resort which contacted the boatman. I heard that P1500 could have a maximum of eight persons already. So if there were more of us, we could have paid less for each person. We only visited three islands: Guyam, Daku and Naked island.<br />

I wish the island hopping was longer and there were more islands to visit, but I think that's the only route since the other islands are farther. Besides, we started our island hopping at around four, so we just rushed through it. I wish I had more time to savor the place, enjoy the moment, take more pictures and swim with the fishes, but the sun was setting already so we had to hurry since the boat did not have any lights.<br />

We stayed at Jadestar Lodge. Room costs P1500 (for the three of us) without breakfast. We each had our own queen sized bed/foam. Mine was a foam because I slept on the floor - my choice.<br />
<br />
The sand was white and powdery -close to Boracay's sand, which, for me, is another bit of heaven. Our room was in front of the beach. It was sad because we weren't able to enjoy the beachfront because there were a lot of sea grass. According to the owner, at this time of the year, the current washes the sea grass to their shore.<br />
<br />
The next day, we went to Cloud Nine, the surfing spot in Siargao. Habal-habal was P100 for the three of us.<br />

Too bad we had to leave right away so I didn't get to enjoy Cloud Nine's view. Worse, I didn't get a chance to surf. Boo!<br />
<br />
If this weren't so far, I would bring my family here. Booohooo. Maybe someday... who knows?</div>

I get the function of the plastic blocks. I really do. But what I don't get it how it helps a baby's color resolution. <i>Parang monitor lang ano</i>? Hahhaah<br />
<br />
And what does "<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">No Burr, Slick Not To Injury" </span> mean?<br />

There are still tons to be posted. But I'll save that for future posts. For now, share me some of those confusing posts you've seen.<br />

Whenever my family travels, as the "supermom" as my kid calls me, I have to make sure that the essentials are packed and there's a provision in case something goes wrong. So when we booked our trip to Baler, I had to make sure that the essentials have been taken care of.<br />

1. Bus reservations<br />
<br />
Since it was going to be a looong weekend, I made sure that we had reserved tickets to Baler via Genesis Transit. A good friend, Atty. G, suggested that we book through iwantseats.com.ph. But since the seats were already full for all the trips from April 26-28, I stumbled upon pinoytravel.com.ph which also offers online booking. I immediately booked and within the required number of hours to pay, deposited our payment through PNB. But my reservation was cancelled and I was mad and I couldn't contact them blah blah blah (long story) in short, I had to get another set of tickets this time, directly at the Genesis Bus Terminal in Cubao. Good thing, my good friend Rach was nearby, and purchased our tickets for us.<br />

<br />
Anyways, we got tickets for Joybus, Genesis' executive coaches. We got the 1 am trip (semi-deluxe), so that the little boy can sleep through the entire ride without barfing. Each seat has skyflakes, mineral water and flannel blanket. The seat was also comfy. Though I didn't like the reclining seat. I prefer my bus seats upright, straight, like I'm being punished by my elementary school teacher. I don't know why. Hahah!<br />
<br />
On our second day, we booked tickets for the next day (deluxe since that's the last three seats that were available). Good thing we did that because the trips were full when we arrived the next day for our trip. There were unsuccessful passengers hoping to catch a ride back to Cubao.<br />
<br />
Joybus has semi-deluxe and deluxe buses. The difference:<br />
Fare Seating Capacity Chair<br />
Semi-deluxe: P650 40 seats Reclining<br />
Deluxe: P730 28 seats Reclining with Foot Stool<br />
<br />
Both types have blankets, snacks, and a loo. I found the semi-deluxe seats more comfortable. The Deluxe's seats are too reclined for my taste and I couldn't adjust them.<i> Sagad na daw, sabi ni manong.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
2. Barf bags<br />
<br />
Your kids don't have motion sickness? Lucky you!! I have motion sickness but it doesn't make me less "gala." My little boy doesn't have motion sickness. He calls it smells sickness. For those of you who commute, you would know the buses have different "odors" or "scent" <i>basta yun na yun. Iba ang amoy</i>. My kid smells that too and it's what causes his "<i>biyahilo</i>."<br />
<br />
So whenever I travel by plane, I make sure I bring home the complimentary barf bag and collect it at home. I've got a stack at home! I stick two pieces inside my bag. To be honest, in all the years I have been commuting to and from work, I still suffer from "<i>biyahil</i>o" depending on the vehicle's smell, the driver's driving skill, and my seatmates (especially during summer when the <i>lolas</i> bring out their scented <i>pamaypay</i>, ooooohhhh),<br />
<br />
For our trip, I brought SIX barf bags just in case. I was able to use only three, thanks goodness! One for me, one for the little boy, and one for the <i>kalat</i> (we ate <i>butong pakwan</i> so we had to make sure we don't make a mess of the bus). <br />
<br />
I learned the necessity of a barf bag after our trip to Palawan. I was not yet prepared, and my kid woke up from his sleep and in one second I was covered in ... It was his first time to do this. We had to give him an instant bath on the side of the road.<br />
<br />
3. Sunscreen<br />
<br />
Bring tons of sunscreen! Enough said.<br />

4. Baon<br />
<br />
I know the price of commodities would be higher in Baler since it's a tourist spot, so I brought packets of iced tea, saved some mineral water bottles from the bus ride, and mixed some iced tea so we did not have to buy all the time. Hubby was friendly enough to ask the store attendants in the lodge we stayed in if we could store our mineral bottles there (wala kasing ref yung room namin), and we'd just refill some bottles when we eat out, so at least, we were able to save on the drinks.<br />
<br />
5. Portable Mini Fan<br />
<br />
Waiting inside the bus terminal can be pure agony. It was hot, it was midnight, and it was stinky. Good thing, there are lots of portable mini fans everywhere. They're lightweight and can last for an hour or so. Atty. Marianne gave me a portable fan from Baclaran and I've been bringing it anywhere ever since.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
6. Face Mask<br />
<br />
It makes travelling less smelly. It also helps my little boy with the odd smell of vehicles.<br />
Not the pampapaganda face mask, though you can buy one too when you're relaxing under the stars. There are so many face masks with so many cute designs being sold on the streets. Buy one for yourself at P35.00 each.<br />

8. Check itinerary<br />
<br />
When planning your vacation, make sure that it's age appropriate for your kids. Don't plan something that you aren't sure if your kid will be allowed to participate in it. For example, hubby and I went scuba-diving a few years back. Since the kid was too young at that time, we didn't scuba dive at the same time so the kid would not be left alone.<br />
<br />
Some adventure trips can be scary or too hard for kids. For example, the 2-5 minute trek to Diguisit Falls in Baler may be okay for a 9-year old, but it would be hard for those who are six years old and below. The trek to Ditumabo Falls in San Luis, Aurora may only be 30-35 minutes, but some rocks are slippery and may be a little "rough" for some kids. I saw a woman carrying a toddler all the way back from the falls. It was not only very hard, but it was actually dangerous! I did not do my advance research on these two falls that we visited so I was really surprised with the trek. Good thing, the little boy enjoyed his trek so much.<br />

9. Watch kid all the time<br />
<br />
The surfs are up in Baler! And I mean they were crashing through the people. Two beachgoers at the time we were there got twisted knees while battling with the waves. Partida, hindi sila nag-surf. The waves are really powerful and they scared me (me!!! a swimmer!!) The waves can really drown a person. My eyes were on my kid the entire time, even if I wasn't swimming on our last day (I got sick!boo!). The waves are also wilder as they near the shore because of the rip and the current. They caused many shorts to drop and many tops to go over-the-top.<br />

The waves can come crashing down your head. They are that high. So please, please, please, watch over your kids.<br />
<br />
I had very little time to prepare for our vacation, less than a week, actually. So I know I forgot to do/pack a lot of things. But because of the things I just mentioned, the five-hour trip from Cubao to Baler and back was uneventful and our vacation was truly fun without spending too much.<br />

After heartbreaking lunch I got yesterday, I tried to eat my dinner, kasi sayang. But when I got home at 7, the zucchini pasta already smelled off. According to hubby, it still tasted ok, but I decided against eating it. <br />
<br />
The meatball puttanesca was yummy. I could tasted some fat from the ground pork, so I had to spit these fatty bits out (which is really a problem for me when I eat spaghetti bolognese, burgers, lumpiang shanghai - or those with ground pork because I can taste it and I can't just swallow it). But it was generally good.<br />
<br />
Today's menu is:<br />
<br />

I really appreciate that it is being delivered directly to the office. At least I get to save time falling in line at the cafeteria. My only concern is the dinner could be compromised since I live far away from work and traffic can sometimes be horrendous.<br />

<br />
<br />
For breakfast: Mexican beef casserole with salsa and potatoes:<br />
YUMMY!!!! I wish there was more serving. It's soo good! Writing this blog reminds me of my breakfast this morning. <i>GRABE, super sarap</i>! (there still some fatty bits, so I just spat them out hahahah).<br />

<br />
Snack: apple<br />
<br />
The apple has some bruised parts, but since I'm hungry, I ate it all.<br />

<br />
<br />
Lunch is Fish in Creamy White Mushroom sauce with green beans. Dinner is Roasted Beef with Shitake mushrooms and bokchoy. <br />
<br />
I realized though that beef is harder to digest in the evening, so that's why I decided to eat beef for lunch and fish for dinner.<br />
<br />
The beef is very tasty.Some bits are saltier than the rest. It's not so tender (<i>medyo nakipaglaban ang tinidor ko sa ulam ko</i>), but yummy. I didn't get to finish the entire portion because I don't eat shitake mushrooms, and there were parts na "<i>malitid</i>" and the bokchoy smells different. In short, I'm still hungry. I still can't get over the fact that breakfast was soooo good. Now I'm dreaming of nachos, enchiladas and chimichanga!<br />

<br />
It's day three and ever meal is a struggle. This is not because the portions are little, but because I am a picky eater. It's a real challenge for me to try to eat what's on the table sans any other choice. Add to that is there is no rice. I am happy with 1/2 cup of rice every meal, but no rice at all can be quite depressing. hahahah!<br />

Breakfast was really really good. <i>Sayang walang rice</i>! But it was really good. I forgot to get the bagoong sauce from the ref, so I might just use it for something else.<br />

It had generous portions of daing na bangus. <i>Sayang wala akong mapagbigyan ng belly kasi ayaw ko nun. </i><br />

Snack was a piece of orange.<br />
<br />
Lunch was... I had to go down to the canteen and buy food.<br />

It's supposed to be BBQd chicken with sweet chili garlic sauce and spinach. First, the chicken did not look appetizing. Second, the smell was funky - was it because of the spinach? Third, there was no white chicken meat. I was expecting that since the diet subscription was something for a better diet, they would use lean meat or white meat, depending on what kind of meat was used. Fourth, there was a blob of fat from chicken, with - wait, are those valves? - I can't describe. I had assumed that they would try to limit fat in the meals because what would be the point of counting calories when fat is not removed, right? <br />
<br />
Also, the sauce looked too much for the chicken pieces. I had to go get my Vicks inhaler because I felt nauseated just trying to decipher which part it came from.<br />

But I am looking forward to my snack which is yogurt. Yogurt is safe. Yogurt is good. (zen mode)<br />

Breakfast: -Halfway into my second beef and bell pepper cup, I couldn't swallow it anymore. <i>Nakakaumay</i>!There were fat in the ground beef which I couldn't help but take out. It's baked, I think, with egg. The rest are still waiting for me to devour them.<br />
<br />
Where's the coffee <i>pala? Ah siguro kaya maraming kape kahapon, pang-one week na yun.</i><br />

Morning snack is an apple... so I have no concerns about it keeping the doctor away...<br />
<br />
Lunch - the herb crusted fish fillet was yummy. I could taste the thyme or was it rosemary? The grilled zucchini with carrots was oily. Paired with the fish fillet, it's ok for me. I wish there was rice! <i>huuhuh! Tiis ako kasi low carb, hi pro eh!</i><br />

I am forever struggling with excess baggage a.k.a. fats, and tried a 5-day meal subscription online. The food serving was so "<span style="font-size: xx-small;">little</span>" it made me cranky the whole day. My friends ordered theirs and they consumed their food allowance for the entire day before lunch.<br />

This time, my sister so generously subscribed me to a 3-week diet from <a href="https://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiYqP6L9qrTAhWIjpQKHcetDbkQFggoMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftl-ph.facebook.com%2Fyummydietph%2F&usg=AFQjCNGcVwc4jCV01RNEZ9-xqTSzCN9p3Q&sig2=LTb6QcFIce0hcdyuBBB_eQ">Yummy Die</a>t. It's a Low Carb High Protein plan.<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><br /></b>
<b>Menu:</b><br />
<br />
Breakfast : Korean Pork Stir-Fry with Sunny Side Egg + Coffee - 330 cal<br />
<br />
Snack: One Orange - 80 cal<br />
<br />
Lunch : Yellow Chicken Adobo with Sauteed Sitaw and Cherry Tomatoes - 320 cal<br />
<br />
Snack: Classic Vanilla Panna Cotta - 65 cal<br />
<br />
Dinner: Shrimp in Lemon-Garlic Sauce + 3 beans salad - 287 cal<br />
<br />
Total calories = 1082<br />
<br />
The verdict for today's meal:<br />
<br />
Breakfast - who eats Korean pork stir-fry in the morning? How can it be saucy like kaldereta when it's stir-fried? But I have to admit, it's yummy. BUT, may taba yung pork. I wish they removed the pork fat so that what we would get is all-lean meat goodness. Sayang, walang rice.<br />

Lunch - Oh, so it's yellow chicken adobo. Akala ko chicken curry. I liked the taste, but I could still taste the "lansa" from the chicken. It has coconut cream, I think and tasted like curry. I just realized it's adobo now that I am making this entry, after checking the slip of paper inserted in the food. I love that it's all chicken breast (the only chicken part I like).<br />

The sitaw was "magulang" and a bit yellow green. But, I still finished my food.<br />

Wait... it's snack time, I'll get my panna cotta from the ref.<br />
<br />
This is the panna cotta. It's not so sweet, and it's creamy! But darn, this is just one tablespoon!!!<br />

Will update later about my dinner...<br />
<br />
ooops... I forgot to take a picture of my dinner. It was 3-bean salad a shrimp and lemon garlic sauce.<br />
<br />
The verdict - the beans smelled bad... when I ate them, they tasted ok. No flavor at all, which I appreciate for easier swallowing.<br />
<br />
The shrimps, about 5-7 small pieces were mushy or "malabsa". It's as if they've been in the ref for some time, then cooked. So they don't taste really fresh. I shared my food with my husband who didn't approve of the shrimps.<br />
<br />
So I went to sleep hungry... </div>

I made this blog to make it an avenue for me to sort my thoughts out. Call it my online diary or something else. It is through this blog that I get to process events that have transpired, or things that somehow clog my mind.<br />
<br />
My family complains a lot that I am so busy. My Mama tops the list. She complains that I don't get to do the things she asks me to do because I never have the time. Or, that I keep neglecting my well-being since I am always on the go.<br />
<br />
Guilty.<br /><br />

The hubby is second on the list. His complaint is mainly due to the fact that I am so forgetful. Because of too many things going on with my life - full-time work, part-time teaching, trying-hard-to-be-hands-on-mommy, sports, household chores, and what-have-yous, my brain is usually in overdrive and things get forgotten in the process. Heck, even my sleep is full of vivid dreams that I wake up each morning still tired because I felt awake the entire time.<br />
<br />
My kid asked me something one time. I told him, I cannot answer him yet because I am thinking of something else. After giving me some time, I answered him, and then he asked me again why I had to be given time to think. I told him that it there's a lot in my mind and I had to clear my mind first before I can process his question. He gave me a blank stare. Hahahah!<br />

Those who know me have witnessed my forgetfulness. I have fulfilled a lot of favors and asked for a lot too. I know it would be a bummer if you asked a favor from someone and that someone forgot about it. But once I have said sorry, I don't think that it gives that person any right to berate me, or raise their voice at me.<br />
<br />
I always try hard so people would like me. I think it's a great flaw. For my family, I think they would understand me for who I am. But for the others, it's a different story. After today, I am considering trying to be a bitch, so that next time, I don't have to apologize for my shortcomings anymore. </div>

Work again allowed me to visit my parents' home province: Cebu!<br />
<br />
Since we only stayed overnight, we planned on maximizing our two days there (or less than two days, since we had to finish work first). We planned on trekking to Osmena Peak at the south of Cebu then try canyoneering at Badian Falls (Kawasan) the next day. Too bad, it was raining hard so we decided to stick to some places near the City.<br />
<br />
We visited the Temple of Leah which is somewhere along the Cebu Transcentral Highway in Cebu City, specifically in Busay. A good friend of a friend drove us there since there is no route for public vehicles there. The Temple of Leah is a tribute of Mr. Teodorico Adarna to his departed wife of 53 years, Leah Villa Albino-Adarna. It's really impressive and inspired by Greek (or is it Roman?) architecture. It is supposed to have 24 chambers, but none of these chambers are open yet.<br />

There's not much to see yet as there is still construction going on, but I bet it would really look grand everything is finished. There are still a lot of floors below under construction. The view overlooking the city is very nice too.<br />

Next, we went to Terrazas de Flores, which is also in Busay, Cebu City. It's just about a kilometer or two from the Temple of Leah. It's a beautiful botanical garden on the mountain slope. It literally has hundreds of beautiful flowers. Entrance fee is P100.00 per person.<br />

<br />
By now, you probably know that fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids are super popular as supplements for all around physical and mental health. Fish oil can help boost energy and assist in improving brain functions and even help in weight loss. But, did you know that fish oil can actually help with fertility as well?<br />
<br />
I have been trying to conceive again for the last seven years and upon learning this, I immediately got interested in fish oil.<br />

<br />
DHA and EPA are two of the essential fatty acids that come from fish oil. These omega 3's help with blood pressure, inflammation, and much, much more. Your body can use fish oil to help with the production of hormones, and can reduce inflammation, which can be related to infertility. Fish oil has a ton of benefits for both men and women, whether you are <a href="http://www.conceiveeasy.com/get-pregnant/top-10-signs-of-pregnancy-from-conception/">trying to conceive </a>or not.<br />
<br />
Sounds good, right?!<br />
<br />
Fish oil can help with improving circulation to the reproductive hormones, and the great thing is that fish oil can also be used during pregnancy as well. It is one supplement that is safe for women who are trying to conceive and great for women during pregnancy as well. Some women are concenrned with getting too much mercury from fish oil, but taking a purified and processed supplement has been proven safe by the American Pregnancy Association. Make sure to speak with your doctor to make sure that fish oil is a safe and healthy choice for you while <a href="http://www.conceiveeasy.com/get-pregnant/top-10-signs-of-pregnancy-from-conception/">trying to conceive</a> and beyond.<br />
<br />
Good luck!<br />

On a wheelchair? No problem. Some attractions allow wheelchairs to be placed in the rides. Take for example It's a Small World. There are special boats that would only seat those in wheelchairs (with their companions) so that they wouldn't miss out on the experience.<br />

Food is quite costly though. 98hkd for a meal of chicken, fries and drink. That's roughly 600 pesos. Drinking water (200ml) is 22-28hkd. But you are allowed to bring a bottle of water (just water, not juice). There are water stations inside (but the water tastes weird) where you can refill if you aren't picky.<br />

We were supposed to spend two days in Disney. But the first day, our tour finished super late because of all the waiting, that we arrived at Disney at 3:30 (it opens at 10:30 am and closes at 8:30 pm, after the fireworks), so we only had a few hours to savor Disney on our first day. Good thing there was less people that time so there weren't really any lines.<br />

<br />
The second day, there were more people (perhaps because it wasn't raining and it was less cold?!) that the lines had gotten long. Too bad we weren't able to try the Winnie the Pooh show because the line was a 45-minute wait according to the sign. <br />

Two days would be enough for HK Disneyland. We got to try my favorites twice (except for it's a small world) and we were able to watch the Lion King Show and the Mysterious Book Show (clue:musical). It's not like Enchanted Kingdom where there's a ride at every corner. You walllllkkkkkkk towards different lands. My Pacer recorded 12,000+ steps on the first day (but well, we had a city tour too) and 15,000+ steps on our second day at Disney. You won't get bored though because they have taken care of the minute details that your eyes would have a feast. Even waiting in line isn't so torturous since there's a lot for your eyes to see all around you. <br />

Disney offers not just rides but the experience. It is really amazing. We also weren't able to try Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Hyperspace Mountain (a rollercoaster). But hubby, who was able to sneak a ride, claims that the Hyperspace Mountain was really cool and less scary than the Grizzly Gulch (another roller coaster).<br />
<br />
Will I go back, expenses aside? No. Because I felt that the country was not friendly at all. The place is amazing, even the tiniest details have been considered, but it was dampened by the unfriendly attitude of the locals. </div>

Walking along the streets of Tacloban while listening to the horror stories of an officemate brought by Typhoon Yolanda made me realize the magnitude of the destruction. What I saw from the news and social media did not come close to the horror faced by the people of Leyte. A lot of the structures have been rebuilt or reinforced, but some structures still bore the aftermath of the wrath of Yolanda.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Side story: of all the things to forget, I forgot my cellphone at home!! I felt so lost! No communication, no ebooks, no internet, no photos. But, I'm digressing. Anyways, I just requested my officemate, Atty. Tina, to take photos of me.<br />
<br />
We checked out the Santo Nino Museum of the Romualdez family. We did not go inside since there's a fee of P230 for 3 persons, and there's a fee for the use of a cellphone and a separate fee for the use of a video. Odd no? So, huwag na lang. We were told by our guide that it is under the management of the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). I personally was not enticed to go inside because it looked run down, dark, dank and musty and it seemed that it has not seen a broom and a mop for decades. Hence, the absence of any pictures on the place.<br />
<br />
Next stop was the Anibong Memorial Marker. M/V Eva Jocelyn was one of the boats that ran aground during typhoon Yolanda. I was told to get my picture taken with hands open wide as if I am queen of the world, and I did. Then as soon as it was taken, I realized it was too callous of me to act as if it's a real park and not a memorial park. It's a remembrance of the horrors of the typhoons and I felt that it was insensitive of me to pose that way. So sorry to the people of Tacloban.<br />

I saw this book at Booksale and immediately bought it. It's entitled "Lunch Letters" by Carol Sperandeo and Bill Zimmerman. I bought this for P70.00.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDmnRBctEisHM0r0ZrO1g0iKFxgJPW8YD4b7hJN8o26b7Q3mki9ZccI4hPExo4UWX9rRSxgK56_suS4nam5-DL1PYbXuk8bnUenPm6x8isbXPBLXTzcuPToiBsySn4xretuq4AgCquCU8/s1600/20170226_213440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDmnRBctEisHM0r0ZrO1g0iKFxgJPW8YD4b7hJN8o26b7Q3mki9ZccI4hPExo4UWX9rRSxgK56_suS4nam5-DL1PYbXuk8bnUenPm6x8isbXPBLXTzcuPToiBsySn4xretuq4AgCquCU8/s320/20170226_213440.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
It's a book encouraging parents to write "lunch" notes to their kids. Well, any note, actually. The aim is to get back to writing love letters and reminding your kids who awesome they are and that the parents are 101% behind them no matter what.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It has 75 tear-out notes that you can use. The paper is really nice because it's thick and glossy and even has a riddle at the bottom of the page. The answer is at the back of the paper and is glossy as well. The back even has a design. <br />
<br />
There are even writing tips to guide the parents what to write. The tips are so nice that you can even copy some of them.<br />

The pages are so pretty! The pages have different themes that maybe you can use to wish your kids luck or just to remind them to have fun in school, etc. <br />

<br />
I just checked that the book is available in <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Lunch-Box-Letters-Encouragement-Children/dp/1552095266">Amazon</a> for CDN$12.82. Not cheap. But maybe you can check out some other Booksale branches to see if they have one of these.<br />
<br />
It's a crazy world out there, and as parents, we need to constantly remind our kids that we are there for them and that they are loved. We don't want to be too clingy, but we also want them to be assured that they can always reach out to us. And this might be a tool for us to reach out to them. <br />
<br />
My kid looks forward to his lunch notes ever since I started writing one for him.<br />
<br />
Hey, you don't even need to buy this. Any note of love and encouragement can be written on any piece of paper. What's important is we reach out to our kids and make them feel that they are loved.<br />

My Paps just celebrated his 73rd birthday in heaven recently. I know he had a blast in there. He probably had a golf tournament in his name, a week-long mahjong session where the wager was a sack of no-value chips, plus a non-stop videoke. I bet he forced his guests to sing his favorite songs, dictating the "number" of the song he likes since he memorized the corresponding numbers of his favorite songs. I would also wager he just had a time of his afterlife. But I would also bet he missed us, because we miss him a lot too.<br />
<br />
So to the greatest man I have ever met, the greatest father in the world, my idol, belated happy birthday Pamsie. I love you to heaven and back.<br />
<br />
Our hearts may have this tender spot because of your loss, but I know you are watching over us while making a putt.<br />
