Tires for Sale!

Posted on April 2, 2012 by admin

Normally, going to Cagayan de Oro City will just take and hour and thirty minutes or an hour and fifteen minutes by private vehicle. But now, you have to give more than an hour allowance especially if you have to meet an appointment or you are going to catch a flight to somewhere. Reason? Along the way, there are so many choke points. Destroyed roads (repair maintenance) but there is a long stretch of it in spite the road is not yet being worked on. They have dig holes already even they can’t work on that part of the road for sometime yet. The thing is, the holes destroys tires! So for those who have cars can’t help but look for tires for sale sign along the road in case their tires is being damaged by the big pot holes.

Good thing I still haven’t bought the car am wishing for or else me too will have to look for that signage along the way when I go travel.

Favoriting

Posted on April 1, 2012 by admin

I wonder when did the word favorite became an action word that it is okey to use favoriting. The first time I read favorited was in Postcrossing. “ed” was added to word to make it sound in the past tense. Oh well, am not good in English grammar and other language stuff so all I can do now is adopt the two words and use it in appropriate situations in the future.

R & R @ Lake Apo

Posted on March 4, 2012 by admin

Today is not one of my lazy day but I am wishing am out somewhere doing and R & R at Lake Apo in Bukidnon. I’ve been there once and I when I left I promised that I have to go back once more if not many times.

The place, Dr. Almer called it “The Timeless Place” is an idyllic place to for relaxation. Far from the noise of city life. Life can be peaceful because it’s not anytime that your phone will beep for an incoming message or will ring for an incoming call. If your mind is really set to be free from city hustle and bustle at least for the weekend, you will be able to leave the place refreshed and rejuvinated.

One of the views you can enjoy there.

The view there was really breathtaking that if the rest house have if they have they have one of those Adirondack rocking chair at AdirondackChairs.com, then you would enjoy the view in a more relaxing way. They do have reclining wooden seats that adds up to the elegant country living, but I wish they also have the rocking chairs.

Visit to Tinago Falls: 2011

Posted on October 7, 2011 by admin

Months ago, August 27 exactly, I made my third visit to Tinago Falls. The first time was in 1993. I was still in college that time and I was with friends and schoolmates who were working in the business office of Mountain View College. That time, there was still no descent stairs to go pass. The going down was okey but in coming up, we have to grab on tall and sturdy bushes. It was tiring but not as tiring as my second visit.

The second visit in 2008 and I was with my daughter and relatives. There were many of us and the kids loved their swimming time in the pool. For me, I just enjoyed the sides and taking pictures. I have shared a bit of the experience somewhere in this blog. On our way back, I went up with the first group. While others were still queuing in the shower to change, me and my daughter went up ahead. It was still okey. I was already big that time and the going was still manageable.

Then in August this year, the third time happen and it still looks like I went swimming because I was bathing in my perspiration. Still I enjoyed the moments with my camera while my friend enjoyed swimming and the gakit ride. When the whistle sounded that we have to vacate the place, I started going up. I am 50+ lbs overweight so surely I can’t make ten steps at a time so I have to go slow. Slowly and slowly. I walked alone and their was no one behind me nor anyone ahead of me that can see me in my slow steps. Luckily, I made it to the top! I smiled when I saw this:

I think I made 10 stops in the whole duration of my ascent. I know I should not force myself to hurry up when all my friends were still down and even if they were ahead, I will still use the pace that would be enough for my heart or else I will pass out and will cause unnecessary worries to my friends.

The third visit was made possibly by the City Government extended to Iligan Bloggers Summit. Thanks to the people whom gratitude is due for in relation to my third visit to Tinago Falls in Barangay Ditucalan, Iligan City.

Trip to Spain

Posted on May 19, 2011 by admin

A friend of mine traveled to Spain last February because their company joined in the product exhibit joined by 15 countries mostly from Europe and Asia. He said that he has learned so much there and have gotten ideas on how to improve their product more so that it would please their customers more. It was only in that big exhibit that he saw Pop up trade show display and maybe in the next major exhibit they will do, he will make similar thing like that.

With his kind of job, he travels abroad several times a year. I think late this year he is slated to go to China to see trade exhibits related to interior designing and tiles.

I wish my job will also allow me to travel official. For sure i would not feel burn out.

Easter Sunday Afternoon at Polaris

Posted on May 2, 2011 by admin

The day before, Dimple’s Omi told us that Sunday lunch we will have a pizza at Polaris, one of the neighboring resorts in the Island. She said that their pizza is very good and we have to taste it.

We were served vegetarian pizza and salad:

They are too much serving good for two people. =)

While waiting for the food to come, the daughter and I tried to check out our surroundings and also took some photos of us. It was Easter Sunday and the management prepared some baskets for the kids. One of the lil girls found one just beside the cottage where we were having our pizza.
