Intuition
Posted on 8 February 2009 | 2 responses | 242 views
This really sounds weird but the thing is I was up 24hours yesterday and was able to sleep at around 1am this morning. Then I suddenly woke up at around 4am. I didn’t get out of bed yet thinking that I could get back to sleep. But I didn’t. My parents were unusually up early on this day too. So I decided to get out of bed instead. When I went out of the room, my mom asked me where my sister and her husband were since their car keys were missing. I then sent a text message to my sis asking where they were and she told me she had a car accident. I immediately called her and she was already in the hospital and told me she just had to go through a series of exams before she can get home. She just called her husband and they didn’t mention this to our parents for they might worry of her safety. When they arrived, they broke the news to my parents and we were really relieved that nothing serious happened to her coz the car was a total wreck. As she was relaying what happened (she couldn’t remember anything before the accident), I immediately realized that this must be the reason why my parents and I woke up early. I even noticed when my bro-n-law left the house and never thought/connected that something bad happened already. Was it intuition? Strange right? Maybe I should apply for some online college courses just so I can preoccupy my mind. But it will always be a mystery, I guess.
Honest Scrap Award
Posted on 7 February 2009 | 3 responses | 399 views
I’d like to thank fortuitous faery for giving me this award/tag, my first.
Am not really sure how this is done so I asked a friend and he said that it’s up to me to reply or not. I can’t simply disregard this one simply because I don’t want to.
Honest Scrap Award Rules:
in sum, choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design to pass on this award/tag. list at least ten honest things about yourself.
I don’t really want to talk about myself here but here goes…
1. I prefer Multiply over Facebook and Friendster. I only open Friendster and Facebook to accept invites. I don’t like Facebook because it’s too complicated for me. As of now, I’m not too addicted with Multiply too. Can’t seem to squeeze time to do all these stuff. I realized that Gmail is not that great too. I don’t like the fact that I can’t create folders for my mails. I tried to add labels once but to my horror, the mails got sent to my trash bin! I’d still prefer Yahoo Mail but the damage has been done. tsk tsk tsk
2. I have a stamp collection which I started way back in high school. I have pen friends before who supplied me the stamps I needed for my collection. As of now, I just ask friends to bring me stamps whenever they go out of the country. Wait! Shacks! I should have bought one when I went to Bangkok and Siem Reap! Arghhh!!!
3. I’m not really a book junkie but I bought the Twilight Saga, 3 books written by Mitch Bloom and the Sisters of the Travelling Pants Part 2, which I haven’t read (bought this one since I can’t wait for the movie to be shown here. Even bought Nights in Rodanthe-this one I’ve read). I don’t normally buy books. I just borrow from friends. I’ve finished reading the Harry Potter series except for Deathly Hollows. I wanted to buy the paperback version but it’s still not available here. My friend has the hardbound copy but am not sure when I’d find time to borrow and read it coz when I start reading any Harry Potter book, I don’t stop reading till I’m done from cover to cover. hehe
4. I was a fan of WWF (aka World Wresting Federation, right?) before. My pen friend even sent those stamp-like photos of them. I liked watching The Undertaker fight in the ring. :lOl: Was a fan of the Amazing Race too! I loved this program up to now. But it’s so hard to keep track of the program with my heavy schedule. char!
5. I was a movie buff when I was in high school and college. We’d hike Ayala Center from where I studied to watch a movie with my classmates. We jokingly say that we have to go to Ayala for our Ayala101 subject. I also tend to treat my classmates before. I dunno why I was so generous at that time. hehehe.
6. Bwhahaha..The first and only time I watched a movie alone was when I cross-registered at UP Diliman for 1 semester. I was into those soaps, that I had to watch that movie. I went to Robinson’s Galleria to check the movie sked. I wasn’t satisfied with the time so I went to SM Megamall and checked their sked. I realized that Galleria’s sked was more convenient for me, so I went back to Robinsons and I watched the movie…”Mula sa Puso” 
7. I never liked to be photographed in high school (solo or not) since I don’t like how I looked. hahaha This explains why I have less photos on my high school days. I’d say I was camera shy at that time.
8. I’m not sports-minded. I don’t know how to play any major outdoor sports. I can play badminton and table tennis, but a lousy player still. I made sure I enrolled in those sports for my PE subject. When i cross-registered, they have all sorts of sports in Diliman like archery, swimming, etc but I took Stretching as my PE!
9. I look like my father (like a spitting image of him, lady version ). I got his traits and genes including his height 
I’d prefer to be left alone and I’m a typical homebody. I don’t want noise. I’m shy when faced with people I don’t know but am very talkative too. I easily loose my temper when provoked. I’m very friendly but could be really mean when I want to or have to.
10. Because of my love for classical movies, coupled with inspiration from all those movies with medieval settings, I long to visit the country of Ireland and Scotland. Add rural England to that. I think I lived during those era on my previous life. (*sigh*) Probably, I will get an online college degree in order to explore the world.
So, how what do you think? hehehe… I have much more to say, maybe next time.

the LOVE month
Posted on 1 February 2009 | 4 responses | 271 views
It’s now February, the love month. “Love is in the air” as they say and to prove this, we discovered at work that my officemate’s love life is soaring high. I do believe that he’s still in cloud nine and one could really tell that he is definitely in love. I wish the best for you xxxhit!
As for me, I’ll be off to Malapascua soon with some friends. I’m so excited for I haven’t been to that part of the province. I will pray and hope that the weather will cooperate with us on that day coz the waves tend to get rough at that area and I don’t want it to be a scary vacation.
What’s in Malapascua and where is it? It’s a tiny island on the northern part of Cebu. I’d pretty much say that it’s like Boracay yet unspoiled and untouched. There you have it. When I come back, I’ll most likely look for some online colleges so I can jumpstart my career. But I’ll enjoy the beach first.
Java Hotel
Posted on 1 February 2009 | 8 responses | 939 views
Located in Laoag City, Java Hotel became our residence when we went to the northern part of the country late December of last year. We came to know the place through Doc IC. We were lucky that somebody failed to show up and canceled their reservations for it was already peak season that time of the year. We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights. The room we booked was good for 4 persons and it was really spacious.
Java Hotel boasts of luxurious and well-appointed rooms and facilities. The Balinese-Moroccan inspired architecture, exquisite Spanish design and warm Ilocano touch makes it unique from all the hotels we saw in the city. This place makes a great get-away for that long planned vacation you’ve been dying to realize on your trip to Ilocos.
All room features include a cable TV, IDD/NDD telephone access, mini bar with refrigerator and private bath with hot & cold shower. The hotel also serves complimentary daily breakfast for 2 persons only on all room types. Facilities such as a swimming pool, tennis court, fitness gym are free for use. They also accept major credit cards and guarantees no power interruption. Java Hotel has a 24-hour room security service, a 24-hour gasoline station, ample parking spaces and offers airport-hotel transfers & a shuttle service to the City proper. Their lobby and restaurant is a wi-fi zone too!
We were supposed to stay in a different place but due too our exhaustion, we didn’t dare find another suitable place. And I was glad we stayed here and made the right choice. Not only were the staff friendly but I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Everything was simply amazing!
