Budyong Beach Resort, Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island,CEBU

No matter how money has been very tight to us these days, we still found time to squeeze in a plan to go for another summer adventure. After all the researches and the bookings for the accommodations that my sister and friend did, we finally got to the place they called island paradise in Bantayan Island. From the North Bus terminal we took the Ceres bus that will take us to Hagnaya. It was really fun to travel with friends ” nga di boring “. In other words…. that almost five hours travel that we did….was totally worth it. Though the ride on the ferry experienced was a bit funny because we really have no idea how it is like…til we got there and found out that it was a huge roro type. No 1st class or 2nd class seats here….. everyone has to sit down first-come-first-served on plastic benches arranged on the deck. Since we were the one who arrived last..we were not able to sit comfortably as we expected.

After that exciting long trip ….Bantayan to us on a first glance was a blast. We took a cab from the port to Budyong Resort. This is actually the one my sister saw in the internet that his highly recommended for those who wanted to have a more relaxing beach to stay in… with it’s heavenly sandbar which really shows that this resort really offers one of the best beach front (that sometimes Kota visitors claim that it’s part of Kota’s resort, though it’s not). Aside from it has one of the cheapest accommodation rates and very accessible to the market it’s like Bora without the crowd. After unpacking we went straight to the beach for a look-see and it was’nt a disappointment at all. It was absolutely one of Cebu’s finest.

Our Cottage(duplex-cottage)

I would really say that Bantayan is one of the few beaches that I really love to visit again. Though the beach maybe perfect but it would have been great if the staff were a little more attentive and responsive. ( I actually lost my wallet there and It’s just too sad they did nothing to be of help.) Not to mention the lot of sea weeds floating of the shore , but still we really had tons of fun and really enjoyed swimming with the powdery white sand. Budyong might be fairly simple but the beach scenario….It was Absolutely GREAT!

Sound of the Chimes

chin635 — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:38:09 +0000

There are a lot of ways to enjoy wind chimes and aside from the fact that it’s soothing to listen to and beautiful to look at , they also contain healing effects. Wind chimes does not only enhances my family’s life…but it has been also of great help to us.

My family’s been through an experienced of robbery for a couple of times. But this time it’s a lot different. We are almost encountering an armed stealing and definitely sounds a bit scary and dangerous. And we’re so very lucky that they were’nt able to break-in which eventually made us much more cautious to potential dangers around us. However, we still remain alert to whatever might happen after that incident. That experienced help us discover constructive ways to deal with the crime. So what we did was…we tried to hang a wind chime at the backdoor just in case the robbers come back again. And this time we can be able to hear at least something that will wake us up to avoid such horrible crime.

OBSESSION WITH DEATH?

chin635 — Fri, 01 May 2009 16:00:36 +0000

Extreme stress, failing a big exam, poverty, failed relationship, problem with peers, loss of a job, family problem, abuse, isolation…….are not causes of suicide. They are actually triggers for suicide. I bet you’re a little confused how it differs. Well, for me these things are not an excuse for committing suicide because the fact is, everyone has to deal with isolated stressful events in life. Probably, it’s just that people differ in their ability to handle the troubles that cause such desperate feelings. You know like, when something is gravely wrong in your life your suicidal thoughts is starting to activate and eventually urge you towards getting your own life. Suicide is definitely a result of an impulsive decision, so always remember that a person with healthy brain chemistry may think of it but doesn’t consider it as a last resort to escape a problem. So have you ever come to think of why some people commit suicide when we can actually find ways of dealing with these immeasurable problems? There are even people struggling to eat 3 times a day just to survive. I myself had been through a lot of failed determinations. And the road have always been very rocky for me and the only weapon I have to keep me standin’ still , is my little faith in Him. So instead of allowing these thoughts to crash our mind we have to learn the simple way, which is to work and pray. You’ll see, it will be of great help and worth it in the end.

TAKING IN THE VIEW (A Travel Blog)

When you’re in need of a breather, scenic environment, you should try to go south. One of the most popular get away destination in the southern part of Cebu is the most eminent Kawasan Falls in Badian.

Actually I have visited the place thrice. My first time was quite despairing yet unforgettable , the second one was great and romantic and my last visit was really fun and memorable. But on the whole, that three times in a row visit have definitely provided me a well deserving scenery and ambiance.

Before getting to one of the falls picturesque spot you will have to walk 15 to 30 mins. along a very rocky , narrow path and cross three small bridges. Hmmmm…..sounds exciting right?Yup! You still have to travel and get exhausted..just a little but hey..wait until you get to see and enjoy the natural, relaxing, peaceful, cool and deep freshwater which provides a beautiful setting for soul-searching.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One of LLTP’s summer escapade is going to one of the favorite destination in dalaguete.

Obong Spring is a natural spring water with a cold mountain ambiance which flows near the beach where fresh and salty water mixes. It is indeed perfect for an outing with friends or family and a lovely place for taking photos.

At first we were sort of dubious about how fun the spring would be but I’m really such a big sucker when it comes to cold water and for a change I guess this will be another attraction for those who do not want sea adventure anymore.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Exploring these relaxing locations kinda remind me of being young again. And no matter how money has been very tight to us these days, we’re still positive that we can still do something to capture nature’s calmness. Nevertheless, we still end up laughing about how great thooooose days were.

SEX IS GOD’S JOKE ON HUMAN BEINGS

chin635 — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:31:10 +0000

Scientists studies every origin of things but unluckily never with sex. Neither they can’t exactly say why we do it and doesn’t even know how and where it started. So why do you think this thing is so loud? Do we really need sex to feel normal? Have you ever got to that certain level asking how it started and why we do it? Read between this line….the answers might seem obvious to you but apart from considering the emotional and practical of its mental analysis , other people had sex for even more stupid reasons.

REASON # 1 : seemed like a good exercise and it reduces stress

REASON # 2 : can’t go to sleep

REASON # 3 : boredom

REASON # 4 : Just curious about it.

REASON # 5: wanted to be popular.

REASON # 6 : wanted to give someone a sexually transmitted disease for revenge.

REASON # 7 : They were drunk.

REASON # 8 : Profession

REASON # 9 : Just wanted the attention.

REASON #10: was sexually aroused and wanted the release.

REASON #11: wanted to apply a new position

REASON #12: because you’re in a hotel

REASON #13: practice? LOL!

REASON #14: a birthday present

REASON #15: prom night , a party or a special occasion

REASON #16: it’s raining

REASON #17: was horny

So? Does this sound like things are getting nonsense here? I mean….would it make a lot more sense to just have a bunch of females that can clone themselves and assumed that sex never should have happened when we go through this stupid reasons? The distressing fact is , sex can actually wash out the good and accumulate the bad in us. So…..Is sex really God’s joke on human beings? If it’s so sacred why can’t we keep it that way? Why can’t we do what is necessary?

Sex is definitely a hot-button topic and who would think that a woman like me who is supposed to be appropriate who lived in a culture that imposed strict standards on sexuality is actually writing a blog about it. Bottom line is, someone might have been missing the real story here because women are the one’s who are bothered with sexual reproduction because we are the one’s who get pregnant after having sex. LOL!

AN OBJECT OF EXTREME DISLIKE

chin635 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:18:44 +0000

BITE THIS:

I can see my haters clear than ever, in fact they’re everywhere and sometimes they’re just right in ahead of me. You know all this time I’ve been hated for SHIT comprehensions. Well, this is all exactly what I have in mind right now , because I just could’nt keep in mind anything I’ve done for them to hate me. I mean ” HEY! HELLO? What is it in me that you really hated so much?”Bloody hell! You dun even know me! You know…I could’nt conceptualize them walking around with lots of hate eating them up just because they think my being opinionated and having that ” walang paki sa mundo” lifestyle is such a dork! I’ll tell you this…I’m not mean..it’s just something that I believed and it’s my choice of life. Considerably, I guess that maybe they need to accept and respect that we see things differently. The fact that I’m not trying any harder to to get them to like me because basically I know that we’re not living a parallel life. So, if they dun wanna buy the crap of my idea , It’s not my problem anymore , it’s theirs.

THE BIGGEST FACTORS:

Somehow I thought , probably it is not my often rude behavior..as they say that is blowing up everything. I guess it is because of their own life complications , that’s why they’re interested in my character.*laughs moderately*hehehehe… You know, people usually hate other people when they are insecure, not confident and afraid of what’s different. Which results to resenting another person and putting all the negativity on them. I guess, this is precisely what is happening to me right now. I hate to say this though, but perhaps, it is the only way to make them feel better about themselves because they struggle with low self-esteem. You know, hating people for no genuine reason at all is no longer a healthy hate, it’s meaningless, uneducated in behavior, childish and ignorant. I think these people need to look through because accepting one’s differences will definitely add a dimension of ease to their lives. And with a little broad-mindedness , such ignorance can be shut out from them.

HERE”S THE DEAL:

The world is full of critics and you gonna have to always remind yourself that everyone has to deal with difficult people. You know…life is so stressful, if you react aggressively to the criticisms and try to prove the other person wrong, it would be unacceptable. I would even appear like your kinda muddling up your own life and making it a total chaotic mess. But you know what, what really matters is, how you take control of them. I think we need to listen a little less and speak for ourselves a little more. The thing is, we are deserving of so much more than someone’s ignorant negativity. Allowing other people’s criticism influence your life is not a smart kind of choice. Life is short and if all you can do is just whisper it…you’re like wasting your life doing damage control to yourself. Don’t be reluctant to show up the real you. Remember, what we do in life echoes in eternity, so always make the most out of it.

Lapse in Judgement

chin635 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:15:08 +0000

Alone and pregnant? Sounds like a goddamn piece of sluggish game play from hell. Right? But being single and havin’ a baby does’nt mean your alone. Somehow it felt like the beginning of the end and is only as good as what you make of it. Well, there are maybe reasons that are not good enough but when it’s quiet and you can hear yourself think, everything else will follow. At the start you thought you’re going to condemn yourself to years and years of isolation but this is actually about putting a new spin on something. Rather wasting your life wallowing in despair just because of a little rejection and because of the opinion of other people. Why not suck all the pessimistic thoughts out of you. Try to shuffle things around, pull things back together, start over and don’t permit things to throw you off completely. You’ll see, you’ll do great and everything else will fall into place. Who knows, you never would have guessed…eventually…you’ll not gonna notice, you’re even more happier than some of those who are in relationships. I know it’s kinda burdensome to get everyone to understand what you’re trying to do.Nevertheless, just don’t waste one point of your life to lose. Yes..it’s not actually effortless to be around to those who are entirely ignorant of the world’s mess. It’s like attracting unwanted attention and gets even worse if you go on dealing with them. It’s not just loud at times, but it’s actually screaming at you. Oddly enough, it really sucks when your misunderstood and being criticized that it seems like you can’t quite put your fingers on what’s happening. I know being pregnant and flying solo is some sort of a case of maximum risk. And in most cases, failure to handle this could be mentally and emotionally aggravating. But being single and pregnant is definitely not a low down dirty shame. It’s not neither a a riddle that no one can deal with nor a complete worst nightmare. By some means, it’s a blessing. You know, I often consider the heightened consciousness brought about by my error in experience, somehow a blessing in disguise. Because I rely on, that nothing happens by chance.Everything here. happened for a reason. Fix in the mind that..you’re living in the real world and this is your real walk of life. Probably, you don’t have any clue as to where it’ll end up but always swing things at the opposite way. Drop the negative thinking and stay positive. Just bear this in mind, that perhaps it possibly suggests something more like better for you. Not to mention, tough times bring out the better preson in you. On this wise, this is actually not worth some worry..besides it all make sense. Furthermore, when you keep holding on to anguish you’re the one who’s gonna suffer most. So, better replace your thoughts with something else that will give you a peace of mind. Considering that, that will be your basis to real happiness. In some manner it will make you realize that most of what you’re getting stressed about aren’t really that valuable in the larger frame of things. Remember, life is not permanent , so don’t take your frustrations seriously. Instead make something good out of it.

PATTERN OF LOVE:The Naked Truth

chin635 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:12:52 +0000

Have you ever wondered why you’ve been lied to and taken advantage of by your partner? Have you ever thought why being faithful seems to be so difficult? And have you ever wondered just why so many relationships fail after they seem to be going well right from the start? We often convinced ourselves that they will never happen to us, but when things get nasty and everything suddenly starting to go downhill we always end up confused and go through thinking that if loving someone only bring pain and causes torment….why do we still keep on looking for affection elsewhere. When we experienced a deteriorating relationship, our common question will always be why. So, why is that? Well.. most probably because we still hope and wish that love stays forever. Notwithstanding , truth in life… is not always a fairy tale. I guess….there’s no such thing as happily ever after. Hence, if love never last forever?Then what do you think, what’s forever for? Does this show that failed relationships are heretofore a part of life? You know love is not difficult to define likewise, it’s not easy to comprehend. It is mysterious and sometimes deceitful. Upon loving someone ,everyone wants to be understood. But usually people go about it the wrong way. Loving is not a piece of cake….it’s way more than that…it’s entirely critical. It creates both happiness and bitterness even in the most ideal of circumstances. It can even quickly become a source of anxiety and despair as well. However, people oftentimes take the person they love for granted. You know ..like they easily make someone feel so special and important, yet when they get bored and that strong emotion has faded they eventually find someone who can feed more their addiction to the chase and challenge of love. I mean…is that it? It’s just like dumping something your fed up with into the dumps. It’s definitely a horrible feeling to sense that.You feel like a crap .Do we really deserved a lot worse even how things are completely doing well? Why do people have to do such a dick? Does this show that no one is actually worthy to be loved? Why do we always end up in a dying romance? Can’t lovers agree on something to work things out for them to stay together..like forever? Does this show that no one is really trustworthy? Why is being faithful so difficult? Do we only embark on into a relationship just for the sake of companionship? Why do we continually stray out of love? There are definite number of reasons why staying in a relationship is definitely hard to achieve. Every now and then…no matter how diligently we attempt to save it there’s no way to start again what has distinctly fallen apart. And sometimes…it hurts even more if we try to go for another chance. Being in a relationship is a choice that people make. Yes you have always an option..but think about what might be an area of concern. If we keep on hangin’ to the quote like there’s still so many fish in the sea……then probably this is why we always take the place of an obstacle course while searching for absolute happiness. As the case may be, that’s why there’s no real love among us.Perhaps, that’s why love often fails.

A story that will touch all of us in some way

chin635 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:06:39 +0000

We’re living in a world where there are a lot of questions asked…………And there might not be anything in this world that has more questions attached to it than the end of life. Death is not lasting only a short while and is indeed not changeable .It is definitely constant and it’s forever.

I was watching wowowee when I heard the news about Francis M’s death….at first I could’nt imagine thinking that ….understanding death and accepting it is really important for all of us. The news was really shocking and definitely saddening for us Filipinos because a legend passed away.

What happened to him was a day we had not expected to come so soon. But with his words and works, and with his music that spoke the truth about the society we live in , he will surely one man that we will truly missed.

We thank you for putting three stars and a sun in your heart for the rest of us to see. Nothing can ever replace you in the eyes of the people you left behind. You will always be the only Man from Manila.

Thank you for the MUSIC.

May you rest in peace. We love you !!
