Philippine Jeepney

2007-03-24T18:10:00.000+08:00

Hello, good evening! I want to introduce since then used as small busses for cheap transport of people, goods and even sometimes little animals.

Jeepneys are the most common form of public transport throughout the many islands of the Philippines.

In Manila they are so numerous, that there is almost constantly traffic congestion. The jeepneys don't have air-conditioning.

They have open windows. Most of the time the jeepneys are constantly-packed with many passengers.

Jeepneys offer one of the cheapest ways of getting somewhere. They seldom have a special place to stop.

The drivers will slow down enough to enable the passengers to jump on or out.

The Chocolate Hills

2007-03-18T10:43:00.000+08:00

Hi, good afternoon!
The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol's most famous tourist attraction. They look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women's breasts, and remind us of the hills in a small child's drawing.

Most people who first see pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this idea is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypts.

Plenty of tourist guides and tour operators will be happy to bring you to the chocolate hills, either as a separate trip or as part of a day tour.

However, if you want to go here on your own, from Tagbilaran, you will have to go the integrated bus terminal in Dao and catch a bus going to Carmen.

If you look like a stranger, you will have a hard time not finding one. At the entrance of the bus terminal people will point you to the right bus.

Make sure it is the first one to leave, and ask the driver to drop you off at the Chocolate Hills complex, about 4 kilometers before the town of Carmen. From there it is a 10 minute walk along a road winding up to the complex.

Bay view Manila

2007-03-17T10:10:00.000+08:00

Hello,good morning! I'm here again Maiko... Sorry for being not here yesterday, because yesterday was my day off...

Have you been to Philippines? Do you see how the beautiful view of Manila, and also their beautiful lights?

Ideally situated along the famous Roxas Boulevard, the Bay view Park Hotel in Manila, is in the heart of the city's tourist district, yet close enough to the major business centres,

and with easy access to the Philippine International Convention Centre, plus the hotel offers its privileged guests spectacular views of Manila Bay, making it an ideal choice of hotel for business or leisure travellers alike.

So come and let visit here in Philippines, try to unwind and appreciate the beautiful place here in Manila... Have a nice day! ;-)

DURIAN FRUIT

2007-03-15T11:05:00.000+08:00

Hello, good morning!

The durian is becoming more and more an expensive fruit, even in the Philippines. Not so long time ago, you could buy In Davao City, the capital of Mindanao, a durian for the price of 50 pesos a piece.

That is about 1 US dollar. Nowadays it is being sold per kilo. Native varieties cost from P35 to P65 per kilo, depending on the quality and size of the fruit.

The better qualities are being sold for even a higher price.

Durian is famous for its odor. The opinions about the qualities of that odor are quite opposite! Most Asian people say that the odor of the durian can be compared to a perfume. It smell like hell and tastes is heaven....

Baclayon Church

2007-03-14T10:50:00.000+08:00

Hi, good morning! I want to introduce the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon is considered to be one of the oldest churches in the Philippines.

It is one of the best presevered Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church.

From Tagbiliran RORO Port: Baclayon is some 6 km east of Tagbilaran. Catch a bus or jeepney in Tagbilaran, going into the direction of Baclayon. You may also find a tricycle willing to bring you there.

The Carabao Festival

2007-03-13T10:56:00.000+08:00

Good morning!
I want to introduce one of the events in our hometown, I'm from Bulacan but not in the same municipal like Pulilan.

Begining May 14th, the people of Pulilan in Bulacan Province, San Isidro in Nueva Ecija Province, and Angono in Rizal Province celebrate for two days.

On the first day, farmers pay tribute to water buffalos, known as carabaos. These animals are very important for farmers because they help till the land.

Farmers brush their carabaos' skin until it is sleek and shiny. Then the carabaos are decorated with ribbons and attached to carts.

In the afternoon, farmers lead their carabaos to the church square to be part of the procession. At the church, the carabaos kneel for their blessings. On the second day, the carabaos compete in a friendly race.

Fashion in Summer

2007-03-11T19:56:00.000+08:00

Hello good evening!

Stripes are big this summer!

Stripes are classic design that never stops looking fresh..

What's really great about stripes is the fact that you can dress them up or down,

making them ultra versatile for day to night casual to more dressy.

Also, an added plus is the fact that our diagonal stripes have a shinning, longing effect on the body.

So aside from being spot on trendy, it is also a very flattering design to wear.

Have a good night! ;-)

Pinagbenga Festival in Baguio

2007-03-03T10:12:00.000+08:00

Baguio is easy to get to by air and land transportation. From Manila, the latter is the more popular choice, although at this time of the year, it may prove to be a hassle.

If you prefer to fly to the City of Pines, some airlines maintain a daily schedule of flights from Manila to Baguio and back, like Asian Spirit.

If, however, you go for a four-hour joyride, there are a variety of bus companies, garage cars, and tour operators for the convenience of tourists and visitors.

The Panagbenga Festival is held yearly during the month of February.

The celebrations are held for over a month and peak periods are the weekends. The Panagbenga Festival showcases the many floral floats and native dances.

The fragrant smells that could be presently teasing olfactory senses are probably less from the now-dried flowers from Valentine's Day than air floating all the way from Baguio City.

At this time of year, the City of Pines is almost surely in flower fury over Panagbenga festival, the city's biggest festival.

JOLLIBEE food chain

2007-02-28T11:42:00.000+08:00

Its flagship Jollibee chain features a menu of fast-food staples (hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken) along with Asian spring rolls, spaghetti, soups, and ice cream.

Everything has a Purpose!

2007-02-27T15:16:00.000+08:00

Hello, good afternoon! I'm back.., Sorry for being not here last day and yesterday.
Yesterday was my day off, so i went to my house in Bulacan... Well, I want to tell something about somebody who cares for us and everything has a purpose.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go, others stay for awhile, leaving foot-prints on our hearts and we are never quite the same..,

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose, there are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from...
Have a nice day! ;-)

Family

2007-02-23T19:56:00.000+08:00

Good evening! Almost fast few days ago i have a problem to share all of you and i think that is not the worst problem i had....

Now I'm here again I really feel so sad, It is a family problem.., Maybe this is the worst problem we have...
But i don't want to share it because it is confidential, I feel so mad at all.All should i say is........

Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of misunderstanding, maybe because not telling the truth or they lie...

To change the image of life being part of family, maybe they need to do or should do right away that they are meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you are....
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

Shopping Places

2007-02-22T18:40:00.000+08:00

What started out as a made to measure dress shop in Makati has now expanded to countless boutique!
Bayo is known for clothes that are classic yet stylishly up to date, dressy but comfortable, and proudly Pinoy.The name Bayo means "dress" in Ilonggo.

Visit Bayo's flagship store at Glorietta 3 and their other branches located at the Podium, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Alabang Town, Robinsons Galleria, and all SM malls.

This place is one of the biggest mall in the Philippines called Glorietta Mall.
Many people will interest to go there,they buy all they want and sometimes they unwind...

Filipino Tradition Every Holy Week

2007-02-21T21:51:00.000+08:00

Good evening! How's your day today? Me, while ago i went to church together with my friends...

Today, celebrations of Ash Wednesday vary among churches that recognize this holiday.

In my church ashes are placed on our foreheads as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.

On Ash Wednesday we remember that we are dust. Of course we also realize that we are far more than merely dust. But Ash Wednesday gives us a chance to focus on our “dustiness,” if you will.

It’s a day to remember the bad news of who we are apart from Christ so that we can begin to prepare for the great news of Good Friday and Easter.

Purpose in Life

2007-02-07T18:00:00.000+08:00

You should always learn with life wisdom and with wisdom comes the courage to live life selflessly...
The more you learn about yourself and the experiences surrounding your life.

The more opportunities you have to make your life better and more fulfilling....

You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possibly be in life.,

Have a nice day!;-)

Filipino is the National Language

2007-02-02T10:00:00.000+08:00

The Filipino literature is full of studies supporting Tagalog as the best developed of all the natives language.
