Joys in Life

This is the group of friends I hang out with especially during the weekends while I was still working in Bacolod.   The group is not complete but only few are not in this photo.

Anyway, this was our weekend escapade to Lakawon Island Resort in Cadiz City.  Cadiz City is 50 km away from Bacolod City.  When we arrived in Cadiz, we have to ride a motorized boat to bring us to the Island.  There was no electricity yet at this time and there was even no ample supply of water.  We have to buy if we need some potable water.  I can remember that a regular size pail full of water costed me Php 10.00 and to think that was in 1996.

We love the powdery feel of the white sand.  We tagged the beach as KAMANGON instead of LAKAWON because we still have to walk some 800 meters just to have a swim.  We hate to walk far so we just kamang kamang (crawl) on the sand and tried to get a tan.

Here’s me doing the “here-are-the-rates pose” =)

I got a package last Friday and until now it is not yet opened. Since I know exactly what  is inside,  I can prolong the time in  opening it. The package is also properly wrapped so that no one would dare murder it at the post office for inspection or maybe for theft, so personally, I am having a hard time deciding on how to open it.

The package was from Marikina and it was posted through the Post Office.  It’s heavy so that explains on the amount paid for this to be posted.  It was posted on a Monday and it arrived in the post office on a Friday.  It was quick.

Thanks Jonathan for purchasing this stuff for me.  I hope soon, I can have time to organize my collections.

Despite the Philippines being ranked as a third world country by others which I really don’t believe anyway,  it is still unbelievably consider to be one of the most active countries when it comes to technology especially on using internet in many positive ways.

Many online shopping sites have sprouted here in the Philippines and one of the newest and emerging is Goods.Ph

I lost count on how many times I have bought earphones for personal use.  I am not really fun of it but when I discovered it is one way to enjoy movie marathon without disturbing my roommate, I decided to buy one.  I often pick those cheap ones not really cheap but at least something that will last for sometime.  So for now, I need to buy one a new one again.

Lately I have heard of this new Noise Cancelling Headphones. When I checked out the price, it is still beyond my budget so I will wait for the time when it’s going to be affordable on my part.  It is still very pricey because it is a new product.  But I included it in my wishlist so I am hoping someone will give me this as a gift during my birthday.  It’s upcoming you know!

The reason why I missed church last Sabbath.  Of all place why at the top of my nose. lol!  The bacteria in my hand is so tricky huh.  I always make it a point not to touch my face with my dirty hands or fingers.  But I guess I am so busy at times, that my fingers passes my nose – so that’s it!  Thanks to my ever helpful and ever effective Diprolene Ointment that pimple was no longer painful by Sunday afternoon.

Me and the daughter sometime in 1999 at MVC guesthouse in Pasay City. The time when she was still a baby and me still looks like a lady. lol!    This was the time when I was still working in Manila and she came to visit me and stayed there for almost 2 months or more. I can’t remember much details anymore.

There was this music related program last March in my daughter’s school. It is the time of the year when the school is about to close, so each year level do have their culmination performance. I remember that Saturday, all singing groups presented their group with three of their best songs for the year. Not just songs were presented. There were students too who played musical instruments. Some were accompanied by their pianist, but some played along with minus-ones saved in usbs. I remember our time, when accompaniments are saved in cartridge or tapes. But now usb audio interface from musicians friend are the common gadgets used by our young people.

This guy is my daughter’s classmate and I already forgot what piece of music he was playing here. But I surely remember that he was accompanied at the piano for this rendition.

This is Andrea and I think she played the guitar without accompaniment at the piano or a minus one.  But she played her piece so nicely that she reminds me of the movie August Rush.

I took a one day leave last Tuesday (5/7/2013) just to process for a Registrar’s clearance at Capitol University in Cagayan de Oro.   I never thought I would process a clearance without finishing the course that I have started.  Due to Sabbath problems, I’ve decided not to finish my MAED.  Sabbath classes began when the Distance class stopped two years ago.  Everyone was obliged to attend class in the main campus but on Saturday.

The processing finished just before twelve noon strikes.  The weather was so hot, so I spent sometime inside the campus relaxing my nerves. I was in a hurry during the processing because I don’t want to be told to come back later after the lunch break.   After an hour of relaxing and scouting for a Bible at the Christian bookstore, I crossed the street to Centrio Mall for lunch.

I was comfortably settled in my seat and had no plans of eating quick and leave quick. I lazily had my lunch, savoring each bite.  I also took time to do selfie shots.  Then my book Born to Be Wild kept my me occupied, too.

The TOP can be picked in a week but I am thinking of not going back.  Maybe I will just ask someone to pick it up for me.
