For once in my life...opps! I think that's a song, right? Okay, okay, here is my blog:The other other weekend that passed (Aug 19-20), we had a family (Montebon) trip. Everyone was there including baby Earnest (newest baby) and we headed up north to where my Daddy (Eddie, Sr) was born:

Tabogon! There we had so much fun, particluarly the hilltop where it stops to the sea, deep enough for a "Dugong" to swim in! I mean, really, it was so steep, i almost slipped down the VERY rugged terrain full of black pointed rocky edge of the the hill (Camobo-an). Oh boy! but it was fun! Just wasn't used to going down hilltops.

Anyway, we stayed over for a day and we headed back home. But before we reached halfway with our trip, we passed by a rotunda in Liloan and saw a replica of a lighthouse. I saw that lighthouse once from a friend and it made me wonder how beautiful that place really is. So, to satisfy my anxiety, we drove and side tripped down the Amara way. Photos down here.

OOOH YEAH! I’m back! Back to where my passion is. Back to where my heart belongs! Back to being a student again!

Indeed! And i feel great! to be back in school this year, enrolled @ University of San Carlos (USC)- Talamban campus – College of Architecture and Fine Arts (CAFA)- Graduate studies, taking up my second masters (‘coz I recently graduated Master in History last March of this year), and this time it is: Master in Architecture major in URBAN DESIGN! Isn’t that great?

Sure enough, though I just finished one graduate study in the field of Arts and Sciences, today, I’m trying to improve more on my field of design- as an architect, for the simple reason of enhancing what I’ve learned! Whether it is an acceptable reason or not, who cares? I don't! As long as I feel good in this undertaking, I’m happy! And that is what matters. Am I right? Or I am right?

Oh yeah!

Opps! I'd better work on my assignments now coz i remembered i have a couple already. 'Got to go for now. See you in the library, ciao!

A Blitzkrieg in Malaysia!

0 comments Posted by Ms.B at 9:37:00 PM

Before our best days in Singapore ended, we thought of hopping in to the next country north. And amazingly enough, we really did!

Yes! We stepped foot on our forefathers' (history told we are their offsprings) land- MALAYSIA! We hit Johor Bahru, southernmost part of Malaysia. We did some touring around the mall, which reminded me of a department store in Colon street sometime in the late '80's.

Anyway, we had fun! We ate @ Kenny Rogers- Malaysian Edition. We had our share of smiles and laughs and shopping and what-have-you! Oh, let me tell you that if you want to go to the jan(c.r.) it would cost you RM.20 (MYR- Malaysian Ringgit) multiply it with P15 Philippine money and that's a cool P3.00 here. Ain't it okay huh?

By the way, we went there through a mere taxi ride! Oh yes! We didn't bring any luggage because we were not planning on staying overnight. So we rode on to the connecting bridge where the Malaysian Immigration Department is located. So we had our passports ready including the air tickets and stopped where a cute little booth stood, and rolled down the windows of the car as the Immigration Officer looked upon us with set of inquisitive eyes ogled @ us so profusely.

We felt a little scared but that was nothing compared to the going back moments to Singapore! Because, after our shopping spree and strolls and the jan thing, we headed back to the taxi station. There were taxi cars but no taxi drivers! Can you believe that? Plus there was this mature individaul who looked like the one of the wanted arabs in the middle east, complete with the turban in his huge head and long gray beard hanging down from his chin, who wanted to get near us to share with the taxi.

Phew! That was fun!

Singapore moments!

Traveling is my fancy. It allows me to explore deeper meanings of life. It always makes me a better person everytime i come back home, after a while in another place.

This time i headed down south of the globe to one of Britain's former colony- SINGAPORE! It was an awesome experience to be there in that petite but very progressive country. I cannot believe my eyes when i realized i was really stepping on that very spot where an English Gentleman-rather businessman- Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles- once stopped by the port to trade on 1818!

The word Singapore actually came from two words: "Singa"- which means Lion and Pura- meaning city in Sanskrit.

Oh, so much for history, view my adventures here: Please click this

Let's GO!

"In the past, when you saw something you wanted to do, you didn't wait for an engraved invitation before getting involved. So why are you being so shy about embracing a certain new experience? Today you must stop hiding away from this adventure. If you keep focusing on a recent failure or disappointment, you'll stop growing -- and you'll never reach your full potential. Take a chance and jump off that balcony of fear. You will land on your feet..."

I got this message very early today from a dear friend , which made me realize how true it is. Indeed, i used to be a forward person, My teen days always gets me to do the things which i normally dont; I used to go where my heart tells me; There were times when my mom forbids me but my spirits were so high , i end up getting tangled with the unforbidden moves.

Oh well, those were the times of my life! I have changed then, I became a silent type person. My thoughts wont make me do the unwanted feelings. My heart tells me better what to do and not. Life has changed for me. And that was a century ago too!

Lately, i get the feeling something's lacking. As if there is something that i needed to do... so strong it makes me want to fly with ease and soar high, to be with the clouds! Something tells me go out and embrace life! Search the hidden and open up to the realities amd beauties of nature! Accept the faults done but keep in mind that there is still a great world out there! In short: Grow! Learn and be FREE! 'coz life is trully BEAUTIFUL!

The Way You Look Tonight *(Michael Buble)

2 comments Posted by Ms.B at 10:29:00 AM

Some day

when I'm awfully low

When the world is cold

I will feel a glow just thinking of you

And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm

And your cheeks so soft,

there is nothing for me but to love you

And the way you look tonight.

Chorus:

With each word your tenderness grows,

tearing my fears apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,

touches my foolish heart.

*
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change

Keep that breathless charm.

Won't you please arrange it?

'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearing my fears apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely

never, ever change

Keep that breathless charm.

Won't you please arrange it?

'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight.

*-*

Be thankful that you don't have everything you desire...
because if u did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful for your limitations...
because they give you upportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes...
they will teach you valuable lessons..

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles...
they can become your blessings!

THANK YOU ! (sent by a friend)

We all know about the signs of the Zodiac. True or not, we can't rely on it. It's just one of the many ways to let the time pass us by while entertaining our thoughts.

I have here some statements which you might find practically true(if not predictions). It was e-mailed to me by my pal with interesting facts which would certainly make your day lovable! I have three special signs which i consider interesting. Here goes:

CANCER - The Cutie

Freak. Spontaneous. Great telling stories. Not a Fighter, But will Knock your lights out if it comes down to it. Someone you should hold on to".

SCORPIO - The Addict
> > > > > > > > > > > > > EXTREMELY adorable. Intelligent. Loves to joke. Very Good sense of humour. Energetic. Predict future. GREAT kisser. Always get what they want. Attractive. Easy going. Loves being in long relationships. Talkative. Romantic. Caring.
