Weekend Snapshot: Sleep Over
Sunday, November 2, 2008
To join this weekly meme, click here.
After the Clear Black Night Halloween Dance Party, I stayed at my cousin's house. Around 8 in the morning, my niece woke me up by acting like she is a monster trying to eat me. But when she slowly crawling up the bed, I grabbed her and tickled her.
These are my nieces (Frances and Arielle). I slept beside them. After lunch time, we went to the cemetery to visit our grandfather.

Batangas: A Great Getaway Destination
Saturday, October 18, 2008
Batangas is one of the places in the Philippines which houses several tourist spots that the country is being proud of. It is approximately two and a half hours from Manila proper and is strategically located at the southern coast of Metro Manila where you can find Anilao, which is known for its diving sites. Here you can also find Taal Volcano and Taal lake and of course, Tagaytay.
There are a lot of things to do in Batangas that a short vacation will not do. You can see caged tigers, swim in their one-of-a-kind swimming place where the reef is carved at the foot of the ladders to make it as a small swimming area, snorkel at Sombrero island to see the beautiful colors of various corals.
There are fresh-water beaches in the towns around the Lake -- San Nicolas, Agoncillo, Cuenca, Balete, Tanauan and Talisay. Salt-water beaches abound in the following towns: Matabungkay (Lian town), Nasugbu, Calatagan, Calaca, Lemery, Taal, San Luis, Bauan, Lobo, and Laiya (San Juan town). Or you can opt to explore their mountains! There is mountain trekking in Mt. Maculot and in Mabini and Nasugbu towns. There are also several island tourist destinations, like Tingloy, Verde Island, Ligpo Island, and Fortune Island and also Industrial Parks and various manufacturing industries dotting the shoreline.
The place is also made famous by its trademark “balisong” – butterfly-like knives, which originated from Barangay Balisong in the town of Taal, hence the name. Panutsa or peanut brittle, Sinaing na Tulingan (small tuna in vinegar), suman (rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves), the longganisa and tapa, the achara and bagoong, kapeng Barako, sweets like macapuno, Ube and pastillas are also some of the craved foods in the area. If after eating a sumptuous meal makes you thirsty, you can try their mura juice with mura meat – a young coconut juice with the fruit's meat, really good when served very cold mixed with condensed milk for sweetness... Or if you prefer hard drinks don’t forget to try Lambanog from San Juan town. It's a local brew from Cane.
To experience this one of a kind trip or vacation, better book your reservations as early as this time of the year. So what are you waiting for? Experience Batangas, Experience Philippines!!!
And let’s support Paraiso Philippines’ Tourism Pinas 2009 because Walang Iwanan, sa Bayan in Juan (We'll stick together in Juan's nation).

I got a package
Friday, October 3, 2008
Yesterday, Mitch gave us a heads up that the shirt from Paraiso Philippines has been shipped already. I was not expecting to receive today. But this morning, our guard told me that I have a package. So, I immediately went down stairs to pick up my QuikPac. (I was really impressed with 2GO, they are really Quick. lol)
I already knew what was inside: two Paraiso Philippines shirts, one for me and one for Ktrix. They are the early Christmas treats from Paraiso Philippines for members of Paraiso Philippines forum.
I asked my husband to model it for me, he agreed. But he does not want to give it back to me. He said it's for him. He's still wearing it...
Also, Mitch said, "May nakaipit dun na something from me heehee! Not much, remembrance lang." And here it is... a very cute bracelet. (Sis, I love it and I'm still wearing it.) Thank you so much sis. I really love it.
Once again, thank you Paraiso Philippines... thank you Mitch. I really like the gifts. Kisses from me.

Pinoy Party at Yoville
Friday, September 26, 2008
My sister Kissxhugs hosted a party for Pinoys in Yoville... I got to meet new friends. And of course, a party would never be complete without pictures, so here they are:
After the party, we visited each other's house. We went to Nini's bf house which is located in Brookside. I really like this house...
Now, it's my house turn. This is my living room... I love color pink and purple, isn't obvious?
Then, Nini invited us to her house. See the picture below, I'm with Kiss and Nini. (Kiss is in the picture, trust me)
And since Ktrix, aka Scratch, is always missing in action, she took a photo of herself in her living room. 
That's our virtual world. So, what are you waiting for, join the fun, join us in Yoville.

I haven't visited my facebook for a long time, not until I was introduced to Yoville. Yoville is like your virtual world on face book. Like in real life, you need to go to work to earn money. Once you have enough money, you can buy new clothes, purchase items for your apartment, go to work, and meet new friends. You can even go to the beach, diner, casino, bar and more.
This game is so addicting and fun. I got to meet new friends around the world. This is the game for as I love to designing especially our house. Take a look at some snap shots of the game.
