Free Wi-Fi Connection at the Centennial Airport

I was waiting for my flight to Cebu when I decided to boot up my lappy since I saw other users fiddling with their laptops. I thought that there was a free Wi-Fi connection so I booted up as well. Well I did manage to find several Wi-Fi connections but some were free yes but no wonder they are free because the connection was slow and unstable. I had to reconnect every 5 minutes or so and it took several minutes for a page to load. Well my time and effort in booting up my laptop was sure wasted since I couldn’t connect to the internet anyway.

But at least I had the time to write this entry so by the time I arrive home I have more entries that I could post because it would be another several weeks until I am able to connect to the internet when I travel to Canada.

But really, airports should really provide free Wi-Fi connections because we do pay airport fees or whatever aside from the airplane tickets we buy. I swear, that the internet is a valuable utility since it could help you in booking hotels and renting cars because searching the phonebook and calling each establishment one by one is surely a waste of time.

Angel the Miniature Pinscher

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you Angel the Miniature Pinscher! Nope she’s not a replacement for Missy (because there would only be one dog in my life and that’s my Missy). Angel belongs to my mom’s cousin and we’re staying with her in Makati at her place while we wait for our seminar. What I find cute with Angel is that she can really bark loud for a small toy dog. This dog could be mistaken for a toy indeed as she was very small! This has been my first time to actually see a toy dog, the toy dog I could see on TV was Paris Hilton’s dog. But Angel is quite fashionable don’t you think wearing that pink dress and a gold necklace.

My Tita Marlyn (Angel’s owner) said that dogs were not allowed in their building but she could easily pass through the lobby without Angel being noticed. She just had to place Angel in her handbag, Lol!

Angel is the perfect Toy Dog to put in your bag and tag along while you walk and buy stuff at the local designer stores like Paris Hilton hahaha!
Awe... I miss my own angel, Missy the Doggie...

On Traveling

Traveling may be the best source of great blog ideas ever! While traveling to Manila and Cebu I had encountered frustrations, amazement, and just the unexpected. I had brought with me my laptop during my travels but I don’t seem to have any luck finding a Wi-Fi hotspot so that I could update my blog. I’ll just have to post my updates when I get to connect to the internet. In the meantime I just have to be contented typing down my thoughts and daily experiences on Microsoft Word and just publish it later. I still do have “future-dated posts” ready so that my blog could be updated even when I’m not connected to the internet.

So please accompany me as I share my travels… “sakay na” (hop on aboard)! ^_^

Slave: The Cat Star Chronicles Review

Finally, after waiting for just a few days, I received my own copy of Cheryl Brook's very first supernatural-romantic novel, Slave: The Cat Star Chronicles.

I thank Danielle, Ms. Brook's lead publicist, for sending me a copy of Slave and I apologize that it took me a while before I could make my review. But here it goes.

I received my copy just before the day that I was scheduled to go to Manila and I have to say that it was great timing indeed because I now know that I have a great book to read whenever I'm bored or have nothing else to do.

Slave is nothing like the books that I have read before and this is very true indeed. Sure I am fond of reading supernatural stories but I have never encountered a work such as Slave that is very descriptive that I could actually see, feel, taste, smell, and hear what the protagonist of the novel, Jacinth, is experiencing!

The words used in this novel are so stimulating and so descriptive that it actually keeps you up all night and you are addicted to it and I find it hard to drop and leave the book because the urgency to know what happens next is so strong!

I also showed my friend the book and just by looking at the cover she knew immediately that the content is hot and spicy but as the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by it's cover!" She just read the first line and she was already hooked to it! No kidding! She has my book right now because she practically loved it and thanked me for lending it to her.

The novel is romantic in nature but I loved the way Ms. Brook's incorporated witty jokes into it. The plot is very easy to understand and follow and Ms. Brooks makes it a point to discuss how things in the story came to be.

I am looking forward to reading the next installment of the Cat Star Chronicles: Warrior which I heard is going to be released this October 2008.

If you want to know more about Ms. Cheryl Brooks please check out my entry about her: A few Minutes with Cheryl Brooks.

Creative Regeneration

After 10 years (well not really, just an expression) I've finally logged in back to my blog and updated it with this entry. I've already been home for a week now but for that one whole week I felt really lazy and I didn't want to do anything but just sit back and relax and watch TV (which I never do when I was busy blogging) or something.

But again after having some thoughts on my 1 week (or more) absence from the blogosphere maybe it was a productive thing to do. Let's just call my absence for one week as creative regeneration. The more rest I got, the more ideas I get back for blogging.

Or... you could just call me plain Mr. Lazy hahaha!

I plan to take advantage of Blogger's future-dated posts feature because once again I'm going to travel and this time I'm already moving to Canada. I'm once again bringing my lappy along but as by experience, never expect for a free Wi-Fi connection.

Plus with my future-dated posts I can be assured that my blog will be updated even if I don't log-on. Ha! Call that emergency blogging hehehe.

In a Bag

After packing all my bags I suddenly felt a chill down my spine. I can't help but ask, "Is this it? Is this all that belong to me?"

I suddenly realize that my material possessions really didn't matter at all. Because if ever I was gone and my possessions also disappeared then there was nothing that could ever prove that I ever existed (well there are my records at school and at the government registrars and this blog).

My possessions could all disappear (in fires, thefts, and other natural disasters) and then what would happen to me? What would happen to my life?

I felt uneasy as I felt that all that was me was crammed into just one large bag... it really is weird.

I then became afraid of what might come. Am I ready? Are we ready to live a new life in a distant and foreign land? But I do have my family to rely on so I guess that everything will be ok.

The Stench of Death

I could not be mistaken. I know that smell very well and I know that life must have just been taken from some poor creature.

When I was at our living room I sensed this strong pungent smell and I wanted to get rid of it immediately. I asked my father if he smelled but he said no.

Was I hallucinating? Was I the only one who smelled death in the air? I knew that it must be a rat or something but then why don't they smell it? This must be an omen I thought... a bad one.

I feared the most for my family and my safety because if this was an omen... well you get the point.

But a few days later the smell was gone and I was right as my father discovered the carcass of a dead rat (probably killed by Missy the Doggie).

After that happening, I started to fear death as I still don't want to die. Not yet. We're this close to fulfilling my mom's dreams so not yet...

I used to want to die before when I didn't have any dreams at all. But now that I have some purpose in my life, I don't want to die yet until I have the sense of fulfillment that my life was actually worthwhile. I still want to know my potentials...

I Want Eyeglasses!

Yup I sure do want eyeglasses! Yeah that's me but those glasses aren't mine, they belong to KC, the one you see at the back hehehe.

We actually went to an optometrist to have a check up to see if I need glasses and to my dismay I had a perfect 20/20 vision. Darn perfect eyes hehehe.

Yeah I actually want to have eyeglasses becuase of the following reasons:

• people with eyeglasses look smart and sophisticated
• I think it's fashionable
• I don't want anyone to see my eyes (but I'm not talking about sunglasses already, Lol!)

Oh well sooner or later I will have to get glasses since I'm always in front of the computer (I'll just cross my fingers hehehe). Other people who have eyeglasses don't really like wearing them and some kids think that it's nerdy and geeky looking, but for me I'd rather be a nerd hehehe.

Midnight Snacks Won't Pack Fat

Ok I have been guilty of sneaking into the kitchen to grab a midnight snack (but only once, I'm so defensive hehehe). What can I do? I was going to bed and my stomach was begging me to eat something. So I did grab something from the refrigerator a Del Monte made recipe "Pizzarap (coined from the words pizza and masarap (yummy)". It was really yummy, it was made from cheese and ham rolled into a pan de sal (a type of bread) but it was more of a taco looking than a sandwhich... I actually had two slices...

Anyway I was guilty and all saying that I'm trying to loose weight but all I do is eat and eat and I ate at midnight when my metabolism is lower. But! Hear me out peepz! I have a scientific research to back me up!

According to Daniel J. Denoon, Midnight Snacks Won't Pack Fat! Activity and not meal timing is the key to weight control. You see they did these experiments with monkeys (since they are very similar to us) and they compared if nighttime meals made the monkeys heavier as compared to monkeys who have midday snacks.

Guess what? No change at all. Both monkeys still became fat. But some stayed lean because they were more active (monkey exercise, Lol!). And for those who believes that eating late at night makes you fat, that is a myth!

"If it were true that nighttime eating made you fat, everyone in Spain would be obese -- because they don't eat dinner until 10 p.m." as said by Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD

So hurray for me! A scientific study saved me from my "lapse of judgement" hehehe. Anyway I still have to look at what I eat though... I just hope there's an easier way to loose weight.

Update: Anyway, although you can have that midnight snack, please do try to sit awhile and don't go to bed directly as you might have another problem and it's not gaining weight... it's gastric reflux. It's when what you ate goes back to your esophagus because gastric acid (which is stronger when there is food) burns the esophageal sphincters which then leads to our heartburn. Also try sleeping lying at your left side so that the normal anatomical position of the stomach would help prevent the sphincter from being burned.

I'm Loving Natasha Bedingfield

The first time I have heard Natasha Bedingfield sing was on a Pantene commercial were Ruffa Gutierrez was saying she was beautiful and glamorous (which she really is) and the song was "Unwritten" by Natasha and the song was perfect for the commercial. It showed beauty and it really sets the mood.

But recently I have discovered another Natasha Bedingfield song that I have fallen in love with. Listen to this song and guess what song this is (oh you can click in the pause button at the upper left corner of my blog to hush little David Archuleta for a while hehehe):

If you haven't guessed what that song is then here's the lyrics:

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No.

Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh.

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.
Do anything you can to control me.
Oh, no.

Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.


There's a place that I go,
But nobody knows.
Where the rivers flow,
And I call it home.

And there's no more lies.
In the darkness, there's light.
And nobody cries.
There's only butterflies.

Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.

Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.

Take me away: A secret place.
To better days take me away.

Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

I love it! It really sets the mood, it's so empowering. I love the way she mixes soul, R&B, and Pop just like little David Archuleta. I can't wait for their duet!

I'm Not Here

I have a confession to make. My last posts about my doggie, Missy, and even this one are all "future-dated posts" meaning they were made in the past but only published now. You see I'm currently offline right now and I am somewhere in the middle of nowhere with no internet connection. But don't worry I'm not stranded or anything just happens that WiFi hotspots are not that hot in the Philippines (lol!).

Anyway I'll be gone for two weeks I guess. My family and I flew to Manila last May 7, 2008 and it's the 10th now so were still in Manila somewhere attending some seminar as a prerequisite to our flight to Canada then at May 16 we're going to fly to Cebu for another seminar. Wow what a week this would be. Plus we have to visit our cousins in the provinces who we haven't seen for a long time and we won't be seeing them again for another long time. But the best part of moving is buying new clothes (lol!). I just hope that all my clothes stays at my baggage limit.

Oh well. You'll hear from me soon guys and in the mean time I bring to you more of my "future-dated posts" hehehe.

The Reunion

Here are the three special doggies that I have been talking about in my precious posts:

This one is Puppy. She's the mother of all doggies (joke ^_^). She's Missy's and Polly's Mom:

And here is Polly, Missy's Sister:

And of course my beloved angel: MISSY!

The three doggies were just like people when they met each other. I don't know why but it seems that they had forgotten that they once played with each other. Maybe their scents already changed or what. But anyway just like humans, they were checking each other out and trying to size each other. Puppy, Missy's mom was very aggressive towards Missy but a little later Missy barked back at Puppy and that instant Puppy knew that Missy is not to be belittled. She may be the skinniest but she's the most experience d fighter (joke! Missy is a lover not a fighter, Lol!).

But unlike people who talk behind each others backs and back bite each other, dogs tend to express what they truly feel. Missy does not want to be sniffed around and licked so she tends to bark out if she's irritated. But they don't bite each other, so that's good.

So my beloved Missy... hope you have fun in your new home. Don't worry about us ok? I love you my Missy pooh! ^_^

The Love of a Dog Part 2

Just recently the new owner of Missy sent my mom a text message and told her that Missy was ok. She was eating well and she was getting along well with her mom and sister. But there are times when she gets lonely and she sits in front of the door crying and sniffing expecting that my mom and me would return and pick her up.

It's really sad to know that Missy is lonely but I know that in time she will slowly adjust to her current situation. And she has her mom and sister to play with so she will never be lonely plus her new owner (also her original owner, took care of her as a puppy) loves her so much and will take care of her well.

A Long Week Schedule

Hey this is my first tag ever for this blog and I have to thank the Taong Ninja na si Sendo! This tag is about making a list of things to do that's expected go get criss-crossed anytime this week.

I had a hard time coming up with a list because although I know what to expect but I don't have a clear schedule as to when these things will happen.

But enough chit-chat and on with my list ^_^:

• Fly to Manila
• Get picked up at airport by uncle.
• Go to Makati to leave our baggages at my mom's cousins condo
  
• Go to Quezon to visit my cousins that I haven't seen for a long while
• Go back to Makati
• Attend a 2 hour peer-counseling/seminar by the Canadian embassy
• Explore the city.
  
• Go shopping for new clothes c/o Mom (yeay!)
• Fly to Cebu
• Don't know if we'll go and stay at a hotel or at my Aunt's house.
• Attend another seminar
• Explore the City
• Fly back to Cagayan de Oro
• I'm home!

Well I really don't have a hectic schedule as Sendo does but it's quite hard to look forward to things that are unexpected. Plus I'm going to be stressed out at meeting new people (in person) hehehe. Yup you guessed it, I'm not that social hahaha but not to the point of being antisocial hehehe. I like people I do, well if they're nice and respectful to me but I'll save this for another post. ^_^

And for this first tag in my blog, I'd think I'll actually tag other people hehehe. I'll tag Juliana, Zhoe Wynz, Julia, Tweety, Ijal, Marie, and anyone else who would like to do this tag. Hey at least you get to plan what to do right? hehehe. Happy Planning everyone! ^_^

The Love of a Dog

Last May 4, 2008 (Sunday), was the day when we would return my dear Missy to her original owner. It was still 8 am and Missy never knew that this would be the last time that we would ever see her. Our neighbor was very kind enough to help us bring Missy down at Cagayan de Oro. Missy was never used to traveling so she was very afraid indeed. I could notice that she was very stressed out because she was salivating. I have noticed that when she gets stressed or tired (from running around) she always salivates. She was very restless and just stuck her head out of the multicab (a 4 wheeled vehicle here in the Philippines) for some air. I was afraid that she would jump out so I placed my arms around her and to my surprise she actually cuddled into my arms. It was here that I knew that I was really going to miss her.

She surrendered everything and I know that she completely trusted me and she just laid there on my arms. This was one of those moments that I know that she actually had affections for me. I'm not sure but I guess somehow she knew that this would be the last that we would see of each other.

To be continued...

My New Signature

Hi it's been a while since my last post. I have been a bit preoccupied with packing and all (packing daw, hehehe). Anyway as I have been saying before it is really great to visit other bloggers because:

1. You learn some new and interesting things.
2. You meet new friends.
3. You get fresh and new ideas on how to improve your blog.

Well I had done all of the three listed above and the new improvement in my blog may have to be this signature at the end of my post. Yup! i have seen several bloggers having their signatures at the end making their posts more personal and more human so I thought I'd try it and I have to say that I love this addition to my blog's design. ^_^

If you're wondering, that's not really my handwriting (mine looks too bad to show hahaha). Why don't you guys try mylivesignature.com to get your own personalized signature at the end of each post. ^_^

Natasha Bedingfield Hugs David Archuleta!

I have to thank Juliana for informing me of this event since I wasn't able to watch American Idol during the elimination night. I just love Natasha Bedingfield! I most especially love her "Unwritten" song.

So you hear her singing Pocketful of Sunshine and at the very end before she exits she crosses the stage again and asks if she could say hi to David. She was approaching and David Cook stood up (they say he stood up because he's a gentleman but I guess he stood up because he though Natasha wants to say hi to him, Lol). It was so cute of Natasha to act like a teenage schoolgirl David Archuleta fan and hug him and kiss him. Guess David was a bit shocked with what just happened hahaha. To make things worst Ryan Seacrest told Natasha that David wants to take her to the prom and guess what Natasha said? She has a dress ready hahaha!

Lucky little David! If only I had his looks and his talents girls would want to hug me and kiss me hehehe.

Here's the video:

Anyway I've noticed that Paula Abdul really loves dancing, I think she dances in every song that's upbeat, it's so cute. I really like Ryan because he loves placing people under the hot seat hehehe. Imagine he asked Simon Cowell to judge Natasha's performance. I wonder how the world would react if he did? But he was smart enough to refuse, I really sensed that he was uneasy with that situation.

Taking A Break

My gosh! This day turned out to be so hectic and so tiring. I have been very busy trying to finish all my sponsored posts for my other blog and I have to say that I am so tired. Sure I'd love to earn money but I'm receiving so many opportunities at the same time and it's getting too difficult to handle! But I am still greatful because for a PR 0 blog opportunities are still flooding in. It must be because of my RealRank then. Geez enough with these ratings. I blog because I want to blog and that is all to it.

I just want to shut down my computer and don't turn it on for a while. I still have to pack my bags and weight them so that I won't exceed the baggage allowance on the plane. I don't have enough time though since I'll be flying to manila this May 7 for some orientation that the Canadian embassy has required as a prerequisite. Then the following week there's this other seminar we have to attend to at Cebu.

I haven't also blog hopped for a while so I'm sorry to my blogging friends for being absent for a while. Oh well, I'm sure that when everything is sorted out I can return to my normal life, Lol!

Being an Only Son

I had always thought how it would be like to be an only son. For those who don't know yet, I'm the eldest of two siblings. I have a younger brother (unfortunately, Lol!). But I did grow up having to experience the life as an only son. I remember that I would always be the center of attention in every family gathering and whenever my parents meet some friends on the way to anywhere. I loved it when my parents would come home from work with "pasalubongs" or gifts may it be food or toys.

I quite enjoyed the "single life" and I never did feel lonely or alone like some only children would feel because I had my neighbor who always kept me company and who I play. I really never knew that I had a brother who was about to come out into this world and if ever I did know I wonder if I would be excited. I really thought that Santa Clause had a gift for me at the hospital as my witty nanny's had said. But to my dismay my present was my brother.

I really felt insecure and the sibling rivalry was there where I really thought that he was more favored and all. But it turns out that he wasn't really favored over me and I'm at ease hehehe. My brother is the black sheep of our family and I'm the... uh... definitely not a sheep that's for sure!

But recently I'm feeling more and more that I'm an only child and I'm loving the attention I'm getting hehehe. My brother is always away somewhere with my other cousins or what ever land or place he could think of always with his stupid good-for-nothing friends. I'm not complaining nor do I miss him but it's quite irritating that he doesn't stay put like the good son that I am hehehe (so many hehes in this post, Lol). But we kind of understand him since he wants to spend his precious moments with his nonsense friends while he still can because fortunately enough for him he'll be leaving them behind. If you're wondering why I dislike his friends so much well let's just say that they are a bad influence to him (not that he's not already rotten to begin with).

So am I loving the only son situation I'm having now? Yeah I'm kind of getting used to it already. ^_^ But my brother better bring his self home before I drag him home.
