GT: Tekkie

Talking about techies make me feel so goodies @_@. I love techie stuffs but there is only one I am dreaming to have right now. A set of CANON DSLR camera...(period)

Nothing more to say.... Just a set of Canon DSLR can make my whole life feels smiling anywhere and everywhere, imagine that. 

Google Today (04-26-2011)

Google is celebrating John James Audubon's 226the Birth day today. He was a French-American proud painter and Ornithologist, a naturalist and hunter as well.

John James left a legacy and unspoilable trademark of creating his works with deep feeling for nature which developed early on his childhood. Google, greatly celebrates and commemorates the legacy of Audubon since he was painted and described the birds of North America in a manner of far superior to what he had done before.

He was died on January 27, 1957 due to failure of his health condition two year before.

Karakol 2011 (Fiesta)

Aside from celebrating Easter Sunday, we we're also celebrated our Fiesta!!! and part of it was having a Street Dance and as previous years my Mom involved herself on it. It is part of her belief (panata) so, as much as I wanted to stop her, she will just ignore me.



This is my Mom ^_~



Since I admire everything about my Mom, I wonder if I'll do the same beliefs when I have reached the age of my Mom now (hihi)

Good Friday

From the now obsolete senses pious, holy of the word "GOOD", also known as the Good Friday. On this day, Christian worshippers commemorate Jesus Christ's Crucifixion and His death at calvary.

In Catholic Churche treats Good Friday as a Fasting Day, which in the Latin Rite of the Church is understood as having only one full meal and or which the worshippers abstain from eating meat. But nowadays, fasting can be done not only by abstaining meals but by refraining you of doing something that's being part of your daily routine.

Here in the Philippines, Good Friday is commemorated with street processions. The way of the cross and the chanting pasyon, and the staging of the Senakulo, a Passion play.

GT: I Would Go Gaga To Wear Shorts

There's only one type of clothes that I would go crazy to wear for, and that would be a short/mini skirt. Funny thing is, I don't have the gift of wearing them, so literaly I would die just to wear them publicly.

I envy those who have perfectly shaped legs that they can flaunt it anywhere. If only my bulky legs and my varicose veins didn't kill me I will wear shorts with too much proud in me.

So I guess my entry is more on frustration, but that's what I felt I would die to wear shorts and mini skirts.

Maundy Thursday

We are now on a fifth day of Holy week, and this day commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.

The name Maundy derived through middle English and old French mande' from the latin mandatum. This was came from the first word of phrase "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you", this is the statement of Jesus in the Gospel of John (13:34) by which Jesus explained to the apostles the importance of his action of washing their feet.

In Orthodox Churches, the lenten character of the services is for the most part set aside, and they follow the format closer to normal. The liturgical colors are changed from the somber lenten colors to more festive hues.

Holy Wednesday

Holy Wednesday is sometimes known as the Spy Wednesday, for this is the day that Judas Iscariot first conspired to betray Jesus for the thirty silver coin.  

The council of ancient Jerusalem or Sanhedrin gathered together to kill Jesus. By then, Judas went to the council and offered them his perfidy support in exchange of money.

In Orthodox Churches, the theme of holy and great Wednesday is the commemoration of the sinful woman anointed Jesus before his Crucifixion and burial, and the second theme is the agreement of betray Jesus made by Judas.

Holy Tuesday

Holy Tuesday is renowned for being the day of which the chrism mass is celebrated in each diocese. This is where the oils are blessed by the bishop, and these are the same oil to be used for the batism and confirmation of those entering the church (Binyag and Kompil)

On this day, Christian worshippers commemorate the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). This parable teaches about the vigilance and Christ as the Bridegroom. The bridal chamber is used as a symbol not only of the bury of Christ, but also of the blessed state of the saved on the Day of Judgement.

In Eastern Christianity, ever Monday through Wednesday of Holy Week is known as the Bridegroom Service or Bridegroom Prayer. This is because of their theme of Christ as the Bridegroom. 

Holy Monday

Holy Week precedes the remembrance of the Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This post is to give few information regarding the sanctified Holy Week, which Christian believers celebrate and  consider this as important for them. This also helps me to read and seek more about the importance of Holy week.

So, let's us start for Holy Monday.

Holy Monday or Great Holy Monday is the second day of Holy Week. On this day, Churches commemorates the withering of fruitless fig tree (Matthew 21:18-22). This is a symbol of judgement that will be fall those who do not bring forth the fruits of repentance. 

This day also recalls the suffering of Joseph (son of Jacob), whose innocent with false accusations within his brethren. 

In Catholic Churches, the gospel reading is about the Anointing of Jesus at Bethany, which chronologically occurred before the entry into Jerusalem and this was described in John 12:12-19.

Google Today (04-15-2011)

It's 122nd Birth day of Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, Happy Birth day (yohoo)

Charlie Chaplin was an English comic actor, film director and composer. He used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well in the era of talkies. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he played in the Keystone comedy Kid Audio Races at Venice in 1914.

I am not that familiar with his talents and popularity, and not my grandmother either. But what is important is he contributed a lot of legacy in the industry of film and movies all over the country.

GT: I am Your Biggest Fan You'll Never Lose

Is it my Birthday?

I am too happy that I end up checking the calendar if today is my day, but it was too early when I realized that it wasn't my day (hihi).

I know that I've been a constant vexation to Kharen this past few months (even on my wedding, lolz). But what I love about her is that she keeps on accepting my demands. Well, maybe she can't deny my gorgeouness (winks on you kha). We've been working my other page (ferry'zPROFESSION) since last week, actually I have asked her to modify my page since last year, but she was too busy and a bit complicated now (she's pregnant -->> sshhhh). But I wasn't prepare for this surprise blog make-over from her.

Look at my page, who would thought that a busy and a complicated Kharen can do this gorgeous page like mine (clap! clap!) sooooo happy Kha, promise!!!! You are such a good friend (mwahness)

Google Today

I would like to become part of celebrating Google for the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflight. 

On 12 April 1961 it was Yuri Gagarin who made the first flight in space. Aboard the Vostok 1, Gagarin became both the first human to travel into space, and the first to orbit.  

Sticky and Yummy Calamay in Bohol

If you happen to visit the paradise island of Bohol, make sure to include as part of your itinerary buying the original Calamay from the beautiful municipality of Jagna. Although there are calamay delicacies with the same name all over the country. Calamay in Bohol makes difference because of its ingenious package and with its simply unique sweet taste. The calamay is inside the coconut shell, which has been polished and decorated with a red paper strip in the middle which seals the sweet calamay inside.

For the newbie calamay eater, eating one can be very tricky and sticky. So ensure that you will bring tissue and water to wash off the sweet calamay if it happens to come in contact with your hands. Because am sure that once you get that first taste, you will definitely come back more and more.  

The art of Hanging Rice in Cebu

Hanging rice is just an english term Cebuanos apply to something called "PUSO" (read it fast). It is a typical boiled rice wrapped in woven strands of palm frond. I have said the word "typical" because, yes!! puso is just a rice. But more than that, puso is an integral part of the barbeque culture in Cebu. When I first saw them, it looks like exotic to me (haha). I am too eager to taste it at first, and when I had some.... Oh! my!! it's almost a drug to me.

Cebu is my hometown, so, more than anything else this place could offer. There will always a reason for me to love it. Because more than anything, this place will always be my comfort zone, because this my home.

This is how it looks like, see below

Something to Brag about Laguna

Laguna is notable for being Jose Rizal's (National Hero) birth place. Laguna is also known for tourists because of Pagsanjan falls, as well as the hot spring resorts in Los Baños. Since summer is now approching, Laguna will be very crowded epecially those who want to spend their summer vacation in a relaxing ambiance beside the pool.

This place is known also in making functional yet budget friendly shoes and slippers. It will be found in an area of LILIW, native stuffs are available also there. Whenever I had a chance to be in Laguna, I always found myself buying stuffs in Liliw. It was such a nice place to be, though expect a lot of people, so always be alerted.

Aside of having cool summer places and good stuffs, Laguna is known to have a lot of delicious delicacies like Puto and bibingka (rice cakes), espasol and buki pie.

GT: Food to Die For

Food makes me goofed, remember the commandment - GLUTYONY?? (hihi). But what's sad about eating, especially when I love what I am eating is that I end up framing on how to loose all the fats and calories I have gained. Eating is such an easiest way to enjoy, while loosing weight is an exertion.

So talking about the food I would die for, ahm.... I think it would be peanut, yeah!! its PEANUT!!! whether it would be roasted, fried, salted, any menu will do as long as it is peanut.

I remember when I was a kid, when Mom ask me on what present I would like to have when she returns, I immediately says - a PEANUT!! (hihi)

So that's it!!! Peanut would can make may day bright ^_~

If trust has been broken, then what's next?

I am trying to put myself in behalf of a friend's situation, just to become a sensable person for her to lean on, because am pretty sure that she needed a warm shoulder to cry on.

She was betrayed by her long time boyfriend and soon to be married this June. I have known their relationship ever since the guy courted my friend and until now. I must say that they we're happy and trully inlove, they share same thoughts and most of the time same craziness. They we're almost a perfect couple, I, myself once envious with them.

Honestly, I can't find the right words to comfort her and to make her smile just for that moment. Especially when she asked me, "IF TRUST HAS BEEN BROKEN, CAN IT BE GOTTEN BACK?" One thing I remembered, I have said to her and I am not so sure if it is worthy to swallow.

Here's my suggestion: (dear, correct me if this is what I have said or not, okay.. will edit my page ASAP!!!)

If the trust was broken, it was broken already and it was never been as whole as before. But it is not necessary to end up the relationship and succumb with your anger. You have to learn that people are not perfect, I understand that you are hurt and it was not easy to re-build whatever trust you both had. Consider second changes, but you have to be clear on what your parameters are, set some limits. Then, when he betrayed you again, that's the time to quit.

She cried after that statement of mine, and she cried more than I am expecting her too.

eii, DEAR READERS, my friend is ineed with your advices. So please write some and she will appreciate your voices.  

I can't Find the Words to Say Goodbye

Dear Pinky Cami,

I have been longing for you many months ago, didn't you feel the same way??

If God won't allow us to meet again, please... just for once, give me a sign

So that I won't let this burden stays in me for long, It stressed me!!!

If someone planned to slip you away from me, please don't be friend with them.

Who knows, they might surrender and return you to me whole heartedly.

When Kuya asks me about you, I don't know what to say.

You know how much Kuya loves you, right? You are the symbol of his effort, hardwork and perseverance to atleast give me something he can be called a gift.

Pinky Cami, just wherever you are, remember that I am always here to wait you.

I miss my gorgeous smiles and gifted pose I made on your screen.

I hope we can spend more happy times together and I promise that I won't let anyone hold you, no one....but me!!!!
