Bachelor

2009-09-04T22:08:00.000-07:00

its been a while since the last time i post a blog, i been busy with work as always and also busy with friends & family as well and been busy looking for my other half...

i do my "wanted husband" online. i go online dating and meet a lot of different kind of people out there, there are gamers & scammer's, some are arrogant some are funny some just wanted unpredictable and hard to talk with hard to please but there are nice people too...gosh i never got an idea that its going to be this hard and tough finding a man who can be a good friend and a good husband for me and a good father of my soon soon (hopefully) cute little kids...

Well, i am not growing any younger to stay calm not having a family of my own at this age.... i just turn 31 last week and still i am in my bachelor status....

but though i don't want it to be in a hurry too to just jump up to somebody out there who likes me and propose to me in just a week of conversation without knowing once personality just "to get married soon" and "because im running out of time"!!!... is there any time limit to get married? hhhmm... maybe no, but i think it lessens the opportunity to get married and having kids (having a family) when people get older..... i was thinking to write here something about my day and how's my search been through.

My Bohol Escapade

2008-10-05T08:10:00.000-07:00

Bohol, the oval-shaped province is located in the Central portion of the Visayas lying between Cebu to the northwest and Leyte to the northeast.

I was so amaze with what I see during my visit in the province of bohol, the province has a lot of things to be proud of (historical & wonders).

The Chocolate Hills - a famous tourist attraction in Bohol. Just imagine how perfectly cone-shaped hills of about the same size, that are scattered throughout the municipalities.

The Loboc River – Experience a cruise along the scenic and winding Loboc River, wherein lunch could only be on board on one of the town’s native floating restaurant’s that serves fresh seafood and native dishes.

The tarsier - Tarsiers are small and weigh only about 110 to 145 grams or 4 to 5 ounces. The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta), estimated to be 45 million years old and known to be the smallest primate. It’s home is in Bohol.

The Baclayon Church – The oldest stone church in the Philippines.

The Blood Compact - A marker which identifies the spot where Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain, forged a Blood Compact with Don Miguel Lopez de Legazpi representing the King of Spain, for the purpose of fostering friendly relations between the countries.

The Hinagdanan Cave - It is a naturally lighted cavern with a deep lagoon and many large stalactites and stalagmites. The cave leads to a large underground cavern, that contains a pond. The underground pond is a popular swimming spot.

Discovering Camotes Island

2008-10-01T03:40:00.000-07:00

I had an opportunity visiting Camotes Island and I can’t believe what I see. “It is a virgin island” as I call it, the place is so clean, so solemn, relaxing yet beautiful.

THE LAKE DANAO- it is known to be the largest lake in Visayas & Mindanao, the total area of the lake is 680 hectares.

THE MANGODLONG ROCK RESORT - coconut-shaded garden close to the beachfront. Across the resort and separated by a blue sea is a coral islet with tropical huts spread out, connected by a sand bar from the beach.

THE SANTIAGO BAY GARDEN & RESORT- overlooking a wide expanse of fine white sand, and a dazzling blue ocean.

Camotes Island is situated in Central Visayas, in the Philippines. It is a part of the province of Cebu in Region VII. Camotes Islands is located east of Cebu and west of Leyte . Camotes Island is made up of three main sub-islands and divided into four municipalities. This four capital towns are Pilar, Poro, San Francisco and Tudela.

The experience is so amazing and the place is worth to be discovered, See it yourself

Ramadan

2008-10-01T00:11:00.000-07:00

I heard the word “Ramadan” a lot of times, in fact today is declared holiday here because it’s the end of “ramadan?” I was just kinda curious about what really “ramadan” means, I did some research, and here I will share some of my research about it.

The name Ramadan is derived from the Arabic word ramida or ar-ramad, denoting intense scorching heat and dryness, especially the ground. From the same word there is ramdaa, meaning “sunbaked sand” and the famous proverb Kal Mustajeer minar ramadaa binnar—to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Some say it is so called because Ramadan scorches out the sins with good deeds, as the sun burns the ground.

Ramadan brings out a special feeling of emotional excitement and religious zeal among Muslims of all ages. Though fasting is mandatory only for adults, children as young as eight willingly observe fasting with their elders. Children look forward to the excitement of sighting the moon and eating special meals with their families. Adults appreciate the opportunity to double their rewards from God and seek forgiveness for past sins. As Ramadan emphasizes Muslim brotherhood and community all feel a particular closeness.

Muslims are fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of the religion of Islam and one of the highest forms of Islamic worship. Abstinence from earthly pleasures and curbing evil intentions and desires is regarded as an act of obedience and submission to God as well as atonement for sins, errors, and mistakes.

After 30 days of fasting, the end of the month of Ramadan is observed with a day of celebration, called Eid-ul-Fitr. On this day, Muslims gather in one place to offer a prayer of thanks. It is traditional to wear new clothes, visit friends and relatives, exchange gifts, eat delicious dishes prepared for this occasion, and wait patiently for the next year.

women rules "go gurl"

2008-09-29T15:42:00.000-07:00

More & more women in this generation wants to rule the world, they don't want to be restricted & absolutely doesn't want to be controlled. They also want to have fulfilling careers, to excel in their profession. Women now have greater mobility and flexibility in choosing friends, jobs & locations in which to live. They never want put in one place and stay there. They has the inherent urge to explore even knowing that the easiest way to do so is to do it alone.

I've read it in a magazine that according to the recent report published in the UK newspaper, The observer, men still prefer to marry women who aren't too "brainy". That intelligent women lessened their chances finding partners by 40%. but even to that study women never minds it, so what? being intelligent is not crime isn't it?:)

Go gurl! :)
