blast from the past

Twitter has opened up so many funny, unusual, profitable and reminiscing doors for me. I am a Twitter addict and I am so proud of it. Love the site!

Anyways, I began following Wil Wheaton on Twitter when I actually started. I had the hugest crush on him since I was in 6th grade. From Stand By Me to his stint in this techie show (title I forgot at the moment). I am loyal and that includes my celebrity crushes.

Pitter patter says my heart. I know... I know... I'm married. Hahaha! I can still laugh from time to time and remember, right? What can I say, the guy is cute, smart and has a really great sense of humor? :D


in a blah stage

Perhaps its based on the lack of being able to produce something creatively. I just feel so boringly normal. Maybe its because my only output lately has been work related or in sports. How Amazonic of me at times! Its like ugh and grunt most of the time with sweat all over. I am Cave woman, hear me roar! Cue in the dinosaurs.

A friend being able to write for a public paper actually surprised me a few weeks ago. Not for anything, I'm proud of her nonetheless. But it sparked that side of me that hasn't been exposed in a really long time. Talk about being stuck in a rut.

Here's to hoping I find some interesting topics to talk about soon. So not to bore anybody in the process.

Pass the sunscreen

Aug 26, 2010...

First trip together as a married couple. How cheesy can I get? Nothing beats a trip to the beautiful islands of El Nido, Palawan. I've always loved traveling. A passion and an addiction at the same time. But I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't done much traveling my own country. I am so glad that I finally have someone to trek around with. Someone who can laugh at my clumsiness and just shake his head as we go.

Thanks to Holcim, we got a trip to El Nido!

One thing I did learn from this experience during the early part of the trip is: never sit behind the pilot of a 19 person capacity plane! Every move he made, ever word he would say I would get freaked out. I guess fear of flying does run in the family.

Welcome to Lagen Beach Resort!

Beautiful view from our beachside room! Imagine we had this morning, noon and night to just sit back and soak it all in.

Or just bum around by the pool with a nice cool drink. The Lagen special is pretty good.

This thrilled Bryan the most. This Monitor Lizard appeared right in front of our room. It was huge. Bryan had this "brilliant" idea to chase it in the middle of the night in the rain.

Miniloc Resort is also a gem to visit. The fishes and corals and even more impressive and its closer to the Big and Small Lagoons.

More pics in my facebook page. I don't think I could do it any justice, but I try. Nothing beats the real thing and the essence of being there in that particular moment.
