Cruisin'

Traveling is one of my interests nowadays. I'd like to visit other places and learn about their culture and visit their tourist spots, and even learn some of their language. Last summer I've seen some photos in my friend's friendster account from their asian cruise. I thought cruising is also a brilliant idea to visit other countries. And because I like to visit Europe, there are also Mediterranean cruises available. That would really be a great vacation that I will have.

Meeting My New Cousin

Actually she's not a new cousin, it just happen we just met and I mean it's the first time we met and it was through the yahoo messenger. Haven't remember meeting her before and so does she. Anyways, we had a nice long chat awhile ago.

I'm still not retiring to bed but I will after I had completed all my tasks. *Phew

Don't Pull That Trigger

Limited Memory

Aside from blogging, I used to be an online gamer together with my brother. So you can usually see a lot of installed online games in our computer. Other than that, we also have various softwares installed. Well there are still a lot of softwares and games we wanted to install, however our computer's memory is limited. So if we really wanted to install all of those we have to upgrade our computer so it won't lag nor clash. Playing and surfing the net would be easier and efficient if that will push through.

Missed Pacman's Fight

I missed watching Pacman's fight. My mom suddenly requested me to accompany her to the mall to buy some stuffs. I eagerly agreed coz I was again thinking of buying another book. We left just as Manny's fight begun.

Inside the taxi going to the mall, I told my mom the street's kinda peaceful, not much traffic around. It just happened that I forgot all about the fight. Hehe. I really don't watch the fight per se. I only look forward for the result. LOL. And I'm glad Pacman once again won.

Pacquaio VS. Diaz

We are now waiting for Pacquaio's match against Diaz. While waiting, blogging is again my activity as of the moment. Though I am not that excited with this match as compared with the previous but I am still eager to see the end result. c",)

Clothings for Pregnants

Once it crossed my mind that getting pregnant sucks. Why? Because there would be changes in your physical appearance, worst is, you'll gain more. Then you won't fit in to your clothes so you have to buy a new one. And this time you would be buying maternity clothes since your tummy's getting bigger. Good thing is, there are already trendy, cute and sexy maternity clothes available nowadays. At least, you will still feel good about yourself despite of the changes happening in your appearance.

Got Infected

I'm having a cough. It's unusual for me to have a cough or a colds. But this time, I got infected with a cough from Jaycee. Huhu. I guess, my immunity's getting weak from not being able to take vitamin C regularly. Hehe. Gotta go back to my vitamins regimen. *Sweat

Reading for Starters

Jaycee being a two year old kid, loves to read books. He reads my encyclopedia and childcraft and is fond of animals. He can already distinguish a bird, dog, cat, panda, mammoth and even a woman. To enhance his fondness for reading, I am planning to buy a children's book and I found this site online. They sell personalized children's books and dvds. They have a variety of books, from sesame street, Barney, Disney, Care Bears and a lot more to choose from. A great alternative way than shopping in the malls and they offer club membership. You can almost find all of the selections here and they accept all major credit cards and paypal payments.

Trendy Faucets

Currently, we are working with our new kitchen. From this time on, I am helping my parents look for a nice interior designs and accessories for our kitchen. I found this Kohler faucets online and found it trendy. I would like to have one for our kitchen. Even my mom approves of it. This would definitely be one in our to-buy list when our kitchen is ready for furnishing.

A Prayer tag for The MV Princess Tragedy

This prayer tag is with regards to the MV Princess of the Stars tragedy and was started by Rocks (thanks again for this tag! ). My heart goes out to all the victims - those who survived and those who were not lucky - and to their families as well. I also offer this short prayer to all the other victims of Typhoon Frank, which include the fishing boats that sank off Aurora and the provinces that were badly hit.

Here goes . . . . .

Prayer for the MV Princess of the Stars fatalities and survivors.

Dear God, we pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going.
LET’S P.U.S.H.
PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS.

WE PRAYED :
1. Through The Rain 2. God’s gift 3. Only in Silence 4. Crissy's Zone 5. Crissy's Haven 6. YOUR SPOT

I’m encouraging all my fellow Filipino bloggers to join. And everybody else too, Filipino or not. Thanks, people!

Buffing Up

It's a disgrace for me not being able to hit the gym again. Although some people says I lose weight, but with 5 months not being able to work out, I started to gain again. My boyfriend also used to go to the gym, but not the same gym I went to. He wants to have some muscles that is why aside from working out, he also takes bodybuilding supplements to help him buffed up. I hope he won't end up like Hulk nor Johnny Bravo. Haha.

My Dad's Bracelet

I missed Hong Kong. During my trip last year in Hong Kong, we had a day tour around the city with Jenny, our tour guide. We went to different popular places in Hong Kong such as the Victoria's Peak, Avenue of the Stars and a lot more. We also went to Jewelry City and had a good look at the jewelries they were selling. I was looking for a men's jewelry because I was thinking of buying one for my father. He deserves it. I bought him a bracelet and true enough, it doesn't stain. I paid in pesos and it was a good deal. How I wish I could go back there and when that time will come, I'll make sure I have a lot of money to buy some stuffs. Hehe.

What a Relief...

It was really hard for me every single day and I know my mom knows how I felt. After so much whining and crying, at long last, someone is here to help us take care of Jaycee. It's my cousin's cousin and it's a relief to have her here with us. Now, I could go back to blogging with ease. Hehe. I wouldn't worry so much of Jaycee playing around alone because he already have someone to watch over him.

Hurray!

Crissy's Haven: Facing My Stressors

The Dark Angel Is Here

Harry Houdini remains to be one of the popular magicians these days. One of the favorite magicians of all time. Even serves as an icon and inspiration to aspiring magicians for most. On the other hand, David Blaine is also one of the great magicians we have.

Locally, I saw some of Bermin's street magics. It was great! Never knew that he idolizes Criss Angel. Why wouldn't he? Criss's tricks were indeed awesome. You would wonder if is it still magic tricks he's using or a real magic. It was just so awesome! There I realize he's one of the best magicians I've seen so far, one of the best among the rest. How could one like him levitate from a Luxor Hotel's building? Was it just an illusion? You will also wonder when you get to see him perform. Very nice style of magic and I guess a very unique one that will leave you in awe.

I bet you will be interested to watch the Cirque Du Soleil performance featuring CRISS ANGEL called "CRISS ANGEL Believe". Here you will witness his extraordinary performances. Believe it or not there is a text message contest held, just text 'Believe' and send to 22122 and 2 tickets will be given for the lucky winner/s.

Fagioli At Last!

It was my craving to visit Fagioli. At last, with my friend's company, I managed to satisfy my cravings for this coffee shop. I heard a lot of raves about this shop that got me interested to visit this place. And I wasn't disappointed!

Fagioli Coffee Shop is located along J.P. Laurel Ave., in front of Link2Support in Damosa. You'll see that big yellow sign of Fagioli's trademark right beside Kia Motors.

I had Iced Cafe Latte (Php 85) and Puttanesca (Php 140). I'm not a pasta expert but what I know is that I love pasta. The pasta's kinda oily, I don't know if that should be the case though I was satisfied with it. Kinda heavy for my appetite but I liked it, reminds me of Sbarro (I miss Sbarro, *Sob). Makes me crave for more. Let me stop describing those so I could share you these photos.



I'll surely visit them again.

Getting Lost No More

As a nurse, I also wished to work abroad someday, particularly in the United States. But I am ambivalent with that idea since I am not used to going out a lot, more or so traveling. Then I might get lost when I get there considering I don't know anyone else. I might get panic attack. Haha. Good thing there is GPS nowadays. Finding the location I am looking for would now be a breeze.

Looking For The Right Place To be

Supposedly I was planning to go to the mall yesterday for some shopping when my friend, May, texted me and requested for a companion. She have to take some pictures of a church and some hotel's function room for a 150 guests for her upcoming wedding sometime this year. So I thought I could get to accompany her since I can go shopping some other time. And I love taking pictures, nyahaha. Good thing I brought with me my digicam. Haha.

Moving on. She wanted to have a solemn ceremony and we think Redemptorist Church is a nice venue for that. I wasn't able to take some photo inside the church since May did all of those. Hehe. So here's my share of the church's entrance.

Then next we headed to Grand Regal Hotel for their function room. Fortunately the room was already filled with chairs and tables since a wedding was held the day before so we got a good view on how it would look like.


Came next the Waterfront Hotel. This time, we both agree it's more spacious than the previous one. I say the carpet caught my attention. Wee! I only had this photo captured since I was already feeling uncomfortable with my dysmenorrhea. Argh, (I need a bed badly)! Unfortunately, this room's already been booked the same date as her planned wedding day. That's the worst thing we heard other than my dysmenorrhea. *Sad.

Typhoon Frank's Tragic Outcome

While Davao City enjoys the sunny weather, the northern part of the Philippines on the other hand was hit with the typhoon Frank. Been constantly watching the news recently, as I was anxious to hear any updates from the MV Princess of the Star tragedy, a Sulpicio Lines' ship that sunk somewhere in Romblon. Approximately 700-800 people were aboard including the ship's crew. Only a few survivors and dead bodies were found so far, majority were still missing.

As I watched the news earlier, I was teary eyed watching how furious the families of those victims were, anxiously waiting for any updates about the ship's passengers and crews. Somehow you could understand the anger they feel towards the management of Sulpicio Lines not being able to update them with regards of the current situation.

I imagined that perhaps there were still people trapped alive in that big ship, I was being hopeful somehow. If so, I hope that help would get to them as soon as possible and may the Lord give them and their families more strength.

Dropping entrecard credits everday is a bit tedious especially if your PC's not loading that fast. Hours will be spent from dropping in order for me to reach the 300 maximum. Nevertheless, that effort also paid off since it drove traffic to my blog and increased my Alexa. And I am very grateful for entrecard.

Due to constantly dropping my EC's to some of your blogs, now I realized that I am DEADLY SERIOUS with this commitment. This picture proves how deadly I am, so beware! Haha.

Wine Drinking as Bonding Time

It was several years back that my mom started to buy wines. It was introduced to her by her friends around the neighborhood and they usually have this every occasion. Wines are also one of her lists to give as presents during Christmas and every month she receives a wine from the wine of the month clubs that she had signed up for free. What wine she loves she shares it with others by giving it as gifts. Her fondness for wines had also influenced me and you can usually see us at night drinking a glass of wine, it's one of our bonding times. I learned to appreciate it and love it all thanks to my mom. c",)

Facing My Stressors

I came from a simple family. And yet I admit, I am not used to helping in the household chores ever since. It's been years that we didn't have a house helper with us and so, my mom usually do all the chores.

Now being jobless I am, I was given this responsibility to care for a toddler. Suddenly, I faced this challenge. At the same time, since our house is under going renovation, it is also my responsibility to attend to the household chores, especially the preparing of food for all of us and washing the dishes and so on. These became a routine and as I've said from my previous post that I hate doing activities routinely.

Weeks passed and now I am feeling stressed out. I now realized how hard it was for my mom to look after us and the house by herself at the same time working, but she managed to do all those things. Now I'm thinking, do I want to become a mom or a house wife someday? Makes me scared already. Hehe.

Ensuring Our Future

Being able to work in a hospital, having witnessed the not so good scenarios inside, I then realized that life is indeed precious. We don't know when or how we'll leave this place. The worst scenarios would be being left by the bread winner of your family. That would definitely be a pain and a problem for most. This made having term life insurance quotes a necessity. Ensuring the future of your beneficiary would be a great relief and a great thing for them. Wouldn't you want them to live their lives happily and secured?

Energy Challenge

Smooth Writing

During my student years, I am always looking forward to the school's opening because I would have new school supplies in hand. One of the greatest fonds I have that time is to collect pens. Yes I love pens! Especially the colorful ones. They're so cute and I used to use them for writing letters. It makes it more personalized.

One problem I had when using my pens frequently is the formation of calluses in my finger. It isn't nice to look at especially for ladies like me. Good thing I found Papermate pens from Penrus. Now I wouldn't worry since their pens have cushioned grips that makes it more comfortable for my fingers thus making me write smoothly. This soft grip not only inhibits calluses formation but it even increases the life of the pens. Very ideal for budget savers like me.

Rain Makes Me Gloomy

Wordless Friday, this is. Was happy I was able to finished my essay needed for my application abroad. It took me over a month to write it since I was pretty lazy doing it, well okay not pretty lazy, just too lazy that is. I hope tomorrow I could send it back to them for evaluation.

It's rainy season and it's been raining hard almost every afternoon. Makes me more gloomy. Now I'm craving for another book to read. I am hoping again that my mom will stay at home tomorrow to take care of Jaycee and the house as well so I could go to the mall.

Speaking of Jaycee, just this morning his mom texted from Dubai and was asking me to sent some photos of him. She barely knew Jaycee from those pics. Hehe. Jaycee had grown up to be a cute and smart little boy and she thanked me for taking care of him. By the way, she only knew Jaycee was with us days after she arrived in Dubai. Haha.

Anyways, before I end my post, I am sharing with you this photo of Jaycee and I just chilling inside the house while it was raining. He always like to see the result of him in the photo. Duh!

Let Me Share You My Firsts...

Released From Captivity

After several days in captivity, Ces Drilon, a news anchor from ABS-CBN and the other TV crew and a professor from Mindanao State University were finally released by Abu Sayyaf late last night. The kidnappers demanded for a ransom money but failed to get what they want as the government was firm in keeping to their decision of a "No Ransom Policy" and was pressured for a possible "police-military operation". The group that kidnapped them was the same group that this crew tried to interview but was betrayed and abducted them instead.

"I want to thank everybody. Words are not enough to thank those who prayed for the professor, Jimmy, Angel and myself".

- Ces Drilon

Floods in Davao

At last I found my digicam's charger and managed to upload the said pictures I promised from my last post about being stranded in the downtown area due to flood. This happened on the first week of June and most of the major roads here in Davao were flooded. Floods here are getting worst. Pictures are taken along Quirino Avenue.


Several years back, as I remember, whenever there's heavy rains in the city, motorists only avoid certain areas such as in J.P. Laurel Ave. along Davao Light's Office. That's the usual place where there is flood, but now, everywhere you go you see flood and it is alarming for us locals here. Who wouldn't be? City Mayor blamed it from Global Warming and poor garbage disposal.


Just last week another heavy rain poured the whole night and again floods were evident. On the next day, the commuters had difficulty going to school or to their office because of flood and it was hard to find public transpo. That brought some schools to decide to suspend their classes.


Now, local government were cleaning up some drainage in the city and found out lots of garbage that could have contributed to the floods. *Sweat.

My Bad

I was bad, and I agree I was. *Sob.

Yesterday afternoon, me and Jaycee were in my parent's room lying in bed. I was scaring him with monster and he really is afraid of it. Until then I heard the news from the living room's TV featuring about the abduction of Ces Drilon and the other one. I suddenly stood up and peeked from the room's door to watch the TV leaving Jaycee on the bed. I know he could managed to get out of the bed but I was very careless, I forgot he's scared being left there. *Sob. He was trying to get out of the bed as quickly as he can and accidentally he fell from the bed and got his nose and mouth bleeding. Although I haven't heard a thud from that fall, and I think he landed on his tummy first then hit his face.

So I immediately carried him to the kitchen and let him gargle some water and he forcefully vomited what he ate this afternoon. I was trying to keep myself from panicking and try to maintain my composure. Just minutes after, my parents arrived and I told them what happened. My mom carried Jaycee while I applied ice compress to his forehead to stop the bleeding from his nose. He's scared of ice too. Lol. Fortunately we had ice cream available and let him eat it to stop the bleeding from his gums and he also stopped crying.

Darn! I was irresponsible! I was really scared he'll be having increased ICP (intracranial pressure) or hemorrhage. But I can assure he didn't hit his head so I'm trying to stop myself from worrying too much. He was okay after and now (I hope), still very active. I'm still observing him for any unusualities so we could bring him to a pediatrician. So far none noted. I hope he'd be really okay.

Right now, he's playing with his toys and watching Barney. *Sweat. I swear I would never scare him again nor leave him alone.

Forgive me for being so irresponsible. *Sob

It's Not Easy Being Green

Once again my boyfriend and I headed to NCCC Mall last night to watch "Incredible Hulk". I was expecting for a long line at the entrance but to my surprise there weren't a lot of people waiting for their turn to get inside the movie house. It was 7:20pm when we purchased our tickets and the next showing will air at 7:40pm. We're a bit early so we were able to choose our seats. But when we got out of the cinema, people were lining up at the entrance for the next show. Nice to see a lot of Hulk fans. Hehe.

I don't personally know the character of Hulk. I only knew him as that Big Green Man and one of the Marvel superheroes, but more than that, I really don't have any idea. So I see, he became that green man from an experiment conducted to him. Wasn't it? And because he'd gone crazy with this new identity of his that he ended up hurting other people even his girlfriend, played by Liv Tyler. That made him a fugitive and was hiding from different parts of the world at the same time searching for an antidote for his condition.

In my point of view, the movie was okay though there were some dragging moments, you know a lot of talking from the characters. CGI was okay. Obviously I can only comment OKAY about this movie, nothing spectacular for me. Haha. Prepare for "King Kong and Beauty and the Beast" likes in this flick. Haha...Just kidding!

So what does Robert Downey doing on that last scene? Is it a clue that there will be an Ironman and Hulk team up?! Makes me excited with that idea! Although I am presuming that there will be a sequel since Mr. Blue has been infected with Mr. Green's blood. But Ironman and Hulk together? Hmm...we'll see!

After 1300 Years in Narnia

Last night, my boyfriend and I, along with my brother, watched this movie at NCCC mall. We were looking forward for this since we liked the first Narnia we've seen, and we thought this might be good too and we were right! Some says this movie sucks due to some boring scenes, but I guess it's up to your taste. I didn't find it boring and neither was I sleepy inside the movie house. Hehe.

Although there were some scenes that you could really tell the wonders a computer can do with the images, if your eyes are keen enough to see it. My brother did and we were just giggling when he told us about it. But it's not obvious I tell you. I like the battle scenes, (feels like I'm watching Warcraft in Live action...LOL) and I like Prince Caspian, played by Ben Barnes. I think he's hot. Harhar. While watching, I then realized that I missed the Pevensie's and Aslan.

I heard it's a major disappointment if you based it in the book. I haven't read the book though, so I cannot give any comments with regards to it. But this is better than the first movie.

Wait a minute! Is this the end of Narnia?

Generoso Bridge Now Open

Generoso bridge or popularly known as "Bankerohan Bridge" is now open for public. The 56-year old bridge's lane going to south collapsed last April 2007 and closed this for traffic for a reconstruction. A supposedly 3 months reconstructure of this bridge has led to move it to one year and two months due to no available contractor. This is one of the major bridges of Davao City and due to it's reconstruction it brought heavy traffics within this area...a pain to all motorists to share one lane to pass by this area.

I haven't pass by the bridge recently and I am excited to see it's result. The opening of this bridge causes relief to all riding public in time for the school opening, considering that Ateneo De Davao High School and University of Mindanao campuses are near here.

Got A Review From Rate My Philippines

I'd like to thank Rate My Philippines for taking time to review my site. It was surprising for me since I wasn't expecting this. I never thought I would be getting a review once I submit my blog to their site. c",)

Thank you RMP for your very nice review as well as the suggestions you made for my blog. I managed to work it out and I hope I did the right changes. I'll try my best to blog more about Davao. c",)

If your blog relates to anything about the Philippines, do submit your site to them for free and be part of their community.

Robi's Still My Big Winner!

Robi is still my Big Winner! Hehe. He's the only housemate that fits to be the role model of the youth today. I truly thinks he showed his real personality inside the house and I think that showing one's true colors need not to be expressing the bad side of you.

I also think that PBB should not be a charity contest nor a star search. Peace!

Was confused and disappointed with the number of votes Robi had last night. It didn't seem to be increasing and my text votes for him weren't counted! Think about that! Arrghhh!
