money problems...

gee, I've been having a really bad time trying to save money! I hope paying bills were never invented in this world! I only have two months left before my youngest son's bday... I really wanna get excited for his 1st bday but knowing that I haven't saved even a single peso yet for his bday celebration, aargghh... it makes me crazy.. my 3 year old has been asking me about my plans for his younger brother's bday, and I must admit it has been adding pressure to me..

I hope a weird miracle would happen.. Oh dear God, please shower us lots of money from heaven! (I mean it literally!) Though I know it won't happen; well, nothings wrong with daydreaming..

unforgettable basketball night

It's been a while since i last wrote a blog.. It's because I've been very busy last week.. My brother-in-law, Kenneth, got beaten up while playing basketball last August 13 around 11pm.. The other team wasn't sport enough to accept defeat.. I don't know if they're under the influence of drugs either.. Kenneth said that there were just too many of them that beat him up.. He said the other team were more than 20.. There were just too many of them kicking him all at once.. The only one that helped him is his brother (my husband). They didn't stop even if he's bleeding already.. Good thing a civilian police man came out of nowhere and helped them to get out of the basketball gym.. After the interrogation at the police station, around 2am already, we brought him to the hospital.. An x-ray was requested to be done immediately and after an hour, the result was released.. And the result?.. His jaw was fractured and the doctor said that he needs to undergo an operation. Since that day, Aug. 14, he was confined at the hospital for observations.. Last Aug. 26, he underwent an operation.. The doctors put titanium plates on his fructured jaw.. Thanks to God the operation was succesful.. He's still at the hospital now for recovery.. He can't eat yet because they put a brace on his teeth so he can't open his mouth yet.. But he can open his lips if he needs to sip water from a straw, but as for now, that's all he can do... They put a hose through his nose down to his stomach so he can eat.. I think they call it NGT.. Well, as for the "bad guys", we already filed a case against them and our complaint is already at the Prosecutor's Office.. As for now, we're still waiting for the release of the subpoena.. Please help us pray for the success of this case and the fast recovery of Kenneth..

cold and cough

i've been sneezing the whole day and i'm really starting to get annoyed! i've had this terrible cold for two days now and i'm starting to cough too.. aaarrgghhhh!! i think it was because i went home late the other night.. i left the office at 2:30am! (and, I'm not being sarcastic!) i was asked to finish a report that was given to me that same day.. for now, i think i really need to drink a lot of water.. and catch some rest too...

Coron, Palawan, is Such a Paradise...

We just arrived Busuanga airport.. Well, the best way to reach Coron, Palawan is through Busuanga. And from here, you still have to take a ride by land for an hour or two i think, to get to Coron town proper. And when you get there, there's already a lot of resorts to choose from..

After taking a rest at the resort, it's time to go island hopping! A big bangka (boat) goes well for big families!

Nice limestone cliffs right?..

First stop, Kayangan Lake.. It is said to be the cleanest Lake in the Philippines.. Too bad the kids will have to stay in the bangka.. 'coz from here, you'll have to take a hike on the muddy and slippery stone steps uphill and downhill 'til you reach the Lake... You'll see a lot of trees along the way.. It's like passing through a forest..

Finally, all the exhaustion of the climb will fade away when you see the lake.. Time for a quick dip on the clear water! The water in this lake is a mixture of salty and fresh water.. It is surrounded by huge limestone cliffs and rock formations..
After the soothing swim, off again for a hike back to the bangka...

Second stop, Twin Lagoon.. Here, you need to pass through a narrow opening in the cliff to get to the other side of the lagoon. The twin lagoon is filled with friendly cold, salty water. They say that going through it is like moving to another world..

Next stop, we "parked" our boat around 100 to 150 meters from the shore of the other island.. It's fun to jump here from the boat to have a swim!

On our way to Malcapuya island, we saw a fisherman and he sold us the fishes the he got! Buying fish in the middle of the sea is way much cheaper than in the market! And, fun too! Guaranteed fresh right off the hook! :)

When you visit Coron Palawan, make sure that you'll visit Malcapuya Island and Banana Island.. If you're the type that loves night life, well, Boracay is the place for you.. But if you're looking for a nice beach for vacation with your family or friends, then you should go to Coron, Palawan. The water is way much cleaner and clearer and believe it or not, the sand in Malcapuya and Banana Island is also very fine and "powdery" like the ones in Boracay..

Snorkeling is also one of the fun activities that you can enjoy here in Coron. I think its only 10 to 15 feet deep here but as you can see there are already a lot of fish so you don't need to swim far away from the shore..

The islands are like a paradise.. Such a very memorable experience! We'll surely go back to this place!

Dinner with college friends

We went to guilley's at MOA last friday July 17, 2009 for sandy and eena's bday party... It's been four years since i last saw these guys (they're my blockmates in St.Scho).. And, I'm glad we were able to attend the dinner because it was raining like hell earlier that day... Thank God the food was good.. And thanks to franciz, he was in the mood to go out that night.. but too bad, we had to go home early because its starting to rain cats and dogs again! we don't wanna get stuck in traffic! well, 'til next weekend.. :p

underwater shots!

just wanna share the clear water of Coron, Palawan... love it!

missing them...

my kids, joshua and joaquin, left this morning with my mom to visit their cousin ien, ninang lou and ninong bong and to attend a birthday party as well.. Josh said he misses his cousin ien already... i just hope they don't fight today.. i don't know yet if they're gonna spend the night there...

they only left this morning but it feels like they've been gone for a long time already.. well, it's really hard for a mom to be away with her kids even for just a short time... but anyways, maybe i'll be there too by tomorrow... hope it stops raining soon....
