Bridal Registry

A bridal registry is a service provided by a website or retail stores to assist engaged couples in the communication of gift preferences to wedding guests. Engaged couples will list down selected items they want to receive as gifts from their guests particularly the principal sponsors and files the list to the chosen store where the desired gifts are availbale or can be bought. The couple will then inform their invited guests about the bridal registry and the chosen store. The list is then made available to the invited guests by the store. The informed invited guests may then go to the bridal registry department of the store and ask for the list for them to choose which of the listed items they wish to buy. The gift registry is updated accordingly upon the purchase of the listed item to prevent gift duplication. Bridal gift registry would be of great help both for the engaged couple and the invited guests for it helps save time for both the the giver and the recipient

Caving Adventure

This is one of the memorable moments in my life wherein my co-teachers invited me to go caving in Initao. I was really curious about it since it's my first time in caving adventure. A lot of fears came into my mind and I just told my self that i can do it. Although there were a lot of negative feedbacks but I took it as i challenge to my self. The picture on the upper right side was taken on my way going down to the cave. It was a little bit difficult because it s too dark. I was trying my best to go down so that i could see it's beauty and what's inside the cave. Going down the cave really needs a lot of effort and of course the help of a flash light which my friend was holding while i was going down to brighten the path where I was going to. Aside from this, you need also to crawl so you can go to to the other side of the cave. There was a little danger that you might get hurt when a portion of your body will be hit by the wall of the cave since the way going through it s very narrow. That's what excites me because there are a lot of things you need to do in an extra ordinary way. Thank God for this experience. It really builds the stamina and there should be no chance to be weak in order for you to exit in this cave because it takes a lot of strength and there is this feeling of fulfillment and you can really say "WOW! this is it"! Going up to the exit also needs a lot of effort since you need to climb through the stone wall and pass through a very narrow way going outside the cave. It feels great that i was able to achieve it by trying the best that I can. The best part of this adventure is the experience of caving adventure.

JUBUSAR

JUBUSAR - I don't know if it's a gay lingo or not. But as far as I remember, my berkz (barkada/peer group) in college says that it means "abusar" or abuse in english. There are lot of ways a person can be abused. It could be physically, verbally, emotionally, etc. Anybody can abuse somebody. Employers can abuse their employees. One way of that is having them work their asses off everyday for more than the usual 8 hours that they had to and even doing work beyond their duties and job description without being paid on time. Imagine the effort of waking up very early everyday and spending your own money for fare and food just to be able to report to work. Yes! They'll have you get paid amounting to the number of hours you have rendered but they cannot pay the pain of waiting and the stressful days and nights of thinking where to get the budget to be able to survive the next days to come. Have they not thought about it or they just don't care? As what my friends say, jubusar na na! as in JUBUSAR - abusar! :)

Baungon is the Place

This is the place of my cousin named Erva Pahunang. It's a nice place to visit but the only problem is the road because it's rough and too dusty since it is still under construction. The beauty of this place was really great since their house is located on the hillside and you can see the mountains and a lot of trees on the other side .  My fiancee and I decided to go swimming on the flowing water near their house. It was very clean and the coldness of the water was so refreshing. We also had the chance to eat native chicken and of course Tilapia, fresh from their pond. She also gave us apple mango. We did not stay too long but we really cherished the moment we had with my cousin's family. To Momi Ervs Salamat "Thank You So Much" we love you. :)

Extreme Adventure

Extreme Adventure - a popular term for certain activities perceived as having a high level of inherent danger. Some of these activities are wild river rafting, bungee jumping, zipline, etc. These type of activities require concentration and alertness. I love extreme sports eventhough I only have tried a few. My first extreme adventure was the wild river rafting. We took the advance wild river rafting which passes through 21 rapids. I was excited and nervous on that day. During the first rapids, our raft turned upside down. We all went under water. Thanks God we were able to go back to our raft safely. Because of that, we became alert and very attentive to the instructions of our guides. We survived the 21 rapids with mixed feelings of fun and excitement. After a week, I went again for another wild river rafting with my cousins. I was so confident at this time. We only took the basic rafting since my cousins were not that ready to pass through 21 rapids. Still, it was really a great experience. The latest extreme adventures I had was in Danao Extreme Adventure Park in Bohol. I had the chance to experience the skyride and suislide (zipline). The skyride was not that extreme compared to the suislide. The suislide ride was really a breath-taking experience. I really enjoyed the experience of going to the other hill and back with the use of cables as if we were flying like birds. I still want to experience the suislide again and again. Next time I'll be in Bohol, I will never miss the experience of extreme sports in Danao. By the plants (bungee jumping), wait for me. I'm coming, soon.. :)

Pamalayi

It was May 23,2010 that i decided to take another step in our relationship.Facing the parents of my fiancee and her relatives and formally put things into proper perspective which is the "WEDDING". This is what we called pamalayi or pamanhikan. I am so blessed for the support of my family who really shared their time, efforts and love. Even to our papas - Ptr John and te Grace for all out support and prayer. I become who i am today because of these people who help me a lot in my daily walks in life. It was really great that both parties met and had a fellowship together. We also announced the preparations we had for the wedding, the wedding date and venue, and the people who will take part in the celebration.

The blueprints of the wedding plans are drawn or made known during this occasion. The pamanhikan is often hosted by the bride's family as the groom and his folks visit them to formally ask their daughter’s hand in marriage and discuss plans for the upcoming wedding over dinner. This can be an uneasy situation if it's the first time for both parties to meet. The soon-to-weds may feel a little awkward (nervous even) seeing and listening to their parents consult each other on matters like their wedding budget, guest list and the like.I just pray that all things work together for good for those who love God.

2nd Anniversary

May 19,2010 is our second year in our relationship. A time to reminisce the moments for what has been achieved. There are a lot of problem that were hurdled and thank God with His wisdom and strength we overcome it and by that we become victorious . I am so blessed to have a partner in life to be in the person of Chrisanne Abaa, she is really great to be with and a loving person, she is also a God fearing person.

I am thankful celebrating with her eventhough i was not feeling well at that time because i was having a sinusitis but its not about what i felt at that time but what matters most is the time we have shared together. To my palangga i love you so much and thank God for giving you to me.Happy Second Anniversary!
