love quotes

ahemmm, I believe so.
i'm getting addicted once again with quotes now that i'm following Love Quotes in Google+.
very true for me...
i admit there are also times i feel like this.

I guess this is the kind of relationship that we have, and suffice to say that it what keeps us going strong.
and true enough, I am just one lucky girl because he's the perfect guy for me
madalas kung sinasabi sa kanya haha. reminder lang naman paminsan-minsan  para kapag nakaharap niya 'yong "more" na'yon, maalala niya ako.
There’s always gonna be that one girl that’s prettier than you. But you’ve just gotta find that one guy that doesn’t care.
 

Hindi naman ako ganon ka-insecure because i did find that guy who doesn't care.
natatawa naman ako dito but c'mon, I could always say that
and yes, this is the best quote when you turn 30.
Oh well, i must be lucky that I first met my perfect guy before having to worry about  my vital statistics. In fact, it was an effort before gaining weight. But I didn't know that with aging, it would come natural.

TRIP TO BICOL,the ordinary bus experience

I'm sure pagtaasan naman ako ng kilay kung sabihin kung ngayon lang ako nakasakay ng ordinary bus. I had experiences before but that was years ago at ngayon lang uli na-refresh ang utak ko kung ano nga ba ang kalakaran sa pagsakay ng ordinary bus.

Straight from the airport, we alighted at the bus terminal. Ang saklap! 400 lang 'yong airfare namin at 400 din ang pamasahe ng bus. But we were running out of time and have to be in Bicol in the morning, so we catch the earliest to leave. Heto alam ko na talaga na usually,mabubuwisit ka agad sa mga porter, so I won't allow them to touch my bags. Oras na pinahawakan mo sa kanila,sisingilin ka agad. At hindi uso ang tumanggap ng barya dito.

Ayun okay na, we bought the tickets without checking the bus. It was a 3x2 seater bus and seats can't be reclined. I was hoping that there would be no more passengers arriving since the bus will leave in 20 minutes. Of course, less passengers would mean more room for us. The bus left on the dot but on the short span of time we were at the terminal, vendors kept going up and down. And they weren't few, i can't even count it with my fingers.

Sa pagka-alala ko ganito kadami ang umakyat at nagkumpulan sa maliit na aisle ng bus.

3 na nagtitinda ng mineral water ('yon lang talga tinda nila na item)
3 na nagtitinda ng softdrinks,C2, gatorade
2 na nagtitinda ng apples at ponkan
3 na nagtitinda ng kiat-kiat
2 na nagtitinda ng candies
3 na nagtitinda ng shorts pambata
1 na nagtitinda ng towel
4 na nagtitinda ng shades
1 nagtitinda ng duyan
3 na nagtitinda ng burgers
2 na nagtitinda ng mani
1 nagtitinda ng buko salad (ice candy pala)
1 nagtitinda ng belt

winner 'yong nagtitinda ng belt at pa-effect ang marketing strategy niya. to quote,
" hindi po ako nandito para pilitin kayo na bilhin ang produkto ko.Magdi-demonstrate po ako para makita ninyo kung gaano kaganda ang quality ng tinda ko. Pwede po ninyo i-testing at walang bayad kung masira ninyo man. 280 po ito pero dahil on test market lang kami, ibibigay ko ng 120, at buy one take one".

Natatawa sana ako lalo at member ng third sex ang nagbebenta at may accent,kaya lang nasa harapan lang niya kami.

Paghinto sa Alabang terminal madami pa nadagdag na pasahero at marami din ang mga vendors uli. Medyo mas organize sila at may uniform pa. Ganoon din ang eksena ng huminto sa Turbina terminal. Dito naman nadagdag 'yong mga nagtitinda ng buko pie, ube at macapuno candies, at espasol. Hindi rin bumaba sa sampu ang umakyat sa mga bente minutos na hinto niya.

May umakyat din na nagbasa ng Bible at kahit bandang Quezon na, madami pa din akyat-baba na vendors.

Nakakainis lang din mga pasahero na naninigarilyo pa sa bus lalo may mga oras na kelangan isara ang bintana at umuulan.

Salamat na lang na maganda ang kalsada kaya kahit hindi masyado komportable ang upuan, napagtiyagaan din. Ang di ko lang maiintindihan ay mga kainan na nagpapabayad pa ng paggamit ng restrooms. Buti sana kung kaaya-aya ang mga pasilidad nila. Kelangan mo pa magbuhos, walang toilet seat, at nakakatawa lang na ang mga lavatory may nakasulat pa na ,"bawal buhusan ng tubig". Ano 'yon display?

Inabot kami ng thirteen hours from Manila to Daraga.
Sa mga bakasyunista na nag-iisip na sumakay ng ordinary bus, magdalawang-isip muna, or better take it kapag papunta pa lang para di mo maramdaman ang pagod kapag excited pa. Baka kung sumakay ka pabalik ng Manila, isumpa mo pa na napunta ka sa Bicol.

Lesson learned, always plan your travel ahead of time.



the family's princess turns one!

oh my Julia! she's really adorable. I got to see her when she was just a month old that I can't even hold her yet.
and now she's grown into a charming baby. kaka-miss ang kaingayan nya.
the successful party is all credited to her pretty mom who busied herself with the preparations
with his Lolo Daddy
the two are inseparable
princess na princess ang peg
the buffet table.winner ang bread roll ni mama jen at naunang naubos
the birthday cake and cupcakes
games portion...pahabaan ng happy birthday juliiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaa!!!
palupok ng lobo...nauna ang boys
trip to jerusalem, di nanalo si nonoy
may usapan pa naman kami kung ano ang ipremyo ko kung siya manalo
anyway,she still got it when tata won one of the games.
nag-volunteer pa na mag-intermission ng gangnam.
arrange yourself game
kainan na...kahit madami 'yan na pumila,madami din natira pa
distributing the loot bags
the venue
the church owned jubilee Hall

Passi, Passi I Love!

Passi City Church
When we were there the funeral of the patriarch of a political clan has just left. You can really count thousands in attendance
the altar
i used to hear the 3pm English mass on Sundays when I lived there.
one of my fondest memories was when i volunteered to collect the alms on one  of the masses
Jardin de los Santos
this is beautiful and sets apart the church
i wish we could have one too here

the back part
the main streets
the mode of transportation within the city are tricycles designed like this.
masarap pang-motorcade,yon nga lang mahirap kung masyado mainit at umuulan.
i envy the numerous motorcycle parts shops there because they surely got a lot of customers
the obviously newest structure within the city
is this what they call a linear park?
i have to agree the sight is better with this addition, I remember plans of having one like this in Daraga. I hope it would push through
the Plaza Paloma
at the background is the old Municipal hall built in 1930
beautifully crafted! Passi is known for abundant and sweet pineapples.
That's the restroom at the park.

Kawilihan Resort in one of the outskirts barangay
the passi river
it was just a poor shot but the river is so scenic
the Passi Grand Terminal

Gaisano Capital Passi
the only mall in the city and how I wish it was already around then.
In fairness it has already a Goldilocks outlet where one is just underway here in Legazpi
a new building adjacent to Gaisano
Passi has its own charm  It's so laid back that you just want  to forget the rest of the world. One thing that amaze me is that they tend to know each other.

i really wouldn't mind living there only that I dream of a house where Mayon Volcano is within my sight.

our ilonggo lunch

the soup was pinalabtog na manok, i can't pinpoint if it was the same with tinu-om,only that the latter is served in banana leaves

oh i love their chopsuey! this was their chopsuey seafood variant, i think there were about four choices. I wonder if they did use their own grown vegetables that's why it was so yummy.  I ate more of these than rice

the mixed seafood platter.nilunod ata sa oyster sauce kaya masarap ang lasa. 'yong squid nga lang ang nakakain ko at parang wala naman laman 'yong shell

mango shake, naalala ko mga Koreans at favorite nila 'to. As in tig-dadalawa silang glass lagi. Minsan mas gusto nila 'yong green mango shake


Siyempre I kept on introducing Nikki to Ilonggo foods. Mahilig naman siya sa seafoods kaya na-appreciate niya. Na-shock lang siya sa langka na may sabaw.'Yon pa naman lagi niluluto ng lola ni Cris na nagtatampo kung di namin titikman daw,hehehe. And how could I not ask na 'yong ensaladang langka pala na inorder ni Jen ay ginataan lang.Ensalada nga pala tawag doon. Siyempre,masarap magluto si nanay kaya gustong-gusto niya lalo na 'yong sweet and sour fish. Nagpakasawa din kami sa mangga every meal hanggang sa nauubo-ubo na ako at masakit na sa throat. Kaming dalawa nakaubos ng mangga doon. Like I always experience, mahirap i-adjust na 'yong kanin sa umaga kaya we still went for coffee and bread for breakfast.

na-wow mali uli ako at ng may bumibili ng tinapa,di ko na-gets agad. Akala ko nabibingi lang ako at wala naman tinitindang tinapa. Sardinas lang pala,hahaha. otherwise di na ako mapapaglakuan at naiintindihan ko mga usapan kahit Ilonggo.
