Third Blog UNPost..

A and B Scuba Dive shop is one of the diving shops in Mactan, Cebu. They have a package deal consists of scuba diving, island hopping, snorkeling, banana boat ride, jetski and free Korean lunch. This is already expensive for some but they gave us a free-trial to all ESL teachers. In return, we have to advertise their shop as well to our foreign students. It was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I couldn't imagine to dive underwater but I did.

Here are our photos with my colleagues. Take a look at these.

People at A and B Dive shop are very accommodating. You should try to venture underwater and see the creation of God.

This is the first multi-activity destination set to revitalize the weary body of the people and to ignite the sporty-type of individuals which is good for all ages.

Here are some photos of Monte and I.

Sunday 2 PM Cafe

This is the owner of the coffee shop, Sunday 2 PM

See how stylish and cute this coffee shop is with all the decorations that only girls like me can understand.

People use to leave random messages in the cafe and Sunday 2 PM are giving out post-it to crack all the imagination all coffee addicts can create and post it to the area where they like their messages or quotes or photos to be seen.

Few days ago, I found a photo from my friend's Facebook post and I noticed the stylish and cute background the photo was taken. It's so adorable and looking at it makes my heart jump for joy.

I love cute stuffs. When I checked the photos, I saw a lot of picture posts on her wall. When I realized what the place was, alas! It was a place I love to hang out to - a coffee shop. Ever since I started working, a coffee shop is my refuge free from worries and stress. If I go there with Monte, all we do is to read books and surf the internet which is very important to bring a laptop. The cozy place of a coffee shop makes us think more and it imbibes positivity.

Imagine this. It's my first time to see a coffee shop different and too far from the cafes I have been into. It was so dazzling, full of happiness where I'd love to stay into and this is the best word - relaxing.

I mentioned this place to my bff - Monte and we have decided to visit this place on weekend.

Yesterday, November 17, 2012 we went to see the place. When I first entered the coffee shop, seemed I was in a fairyland or if not, I was in my ideal bedroom full of cute stuffs that even if I stay forever, I won't be bored. Here are the photos I have taken.

A Season of Unselfish LOVE - 1st article I submitted in the Guidepost

“O, Holy night. The stars are brightly shining.”

“I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistle toe last night.”

Lalalalala..

Are these songs familiar? How about you? What is your favorite Christmas song?

Last night, while I was riding a jeepney, a little boy had taken the jeepney I was into and he sang a very popular Christmas song “ Pasko na Naman” (one of my favorites). He was untidy and I think he is 10 years old. Very young, right? But he sings pretty great. As I closed my eyes while listening to his song, I said to myself that Philippines is a very unique country when this kind of season comes because where do you find small children (or even a muscled-six pack men) sing carol songs in the middle of the street or in every public transportation? I agree with Department of Tourism when they launched the Philippines’ slogan “It’s more fun in the Philippines” because it really shows how Filipinos adapt a total turn of their lives and happiness comes out naturally.

Every “BER” month, Christmas preparation and celebration starts on this period. You can feel the cool- breeze-kind-of feeling and all people have the same reaction about this term. During the first month of “BER” month, houses are already decorated with sparkling Christmas lights and different sizes and shapes of Christmas lanterns. Isn’t it beautiful? I am just wondering if other countries do like this.

And here’s another thing. Malls are starting to sell all kinds of Christmas decoration stuffs and on every street the government is also putting up Christmas trees and embellishment paraphernalia. Some families also are laying the groundwork for activities of the upcoming Christmas parties and gatherings.

The spirit of this season marks the beginning of endless joy and fun. It also gives way to new drive of making things happen. Though some Filipinos are outside of the country, they always seem to miss Filipino culture and tradition because that’s what they have grown up to and wherever they go, one thing is for sure. They will always go back to the place they call “HOME”.   

At last, my name is printed in the guidepost newsletter and I am beginning to get interested writing any article to this newsletter.

And this October, I will write again.. See you at the end of this month.

It is my first time to meet people like you guys and it is one of my first time-S in my 26 years of existence to have friends like you - sweet, caring, unique individual and loving. You go inside the office just to inform me that it is your birthday, just to say HI! and Hello!, for your annoying behaviour sometimes but can't be taken seriously, for every actions you do - hold hands and put your arms around my waist like a couple..(LOL!) but it is just a sisterly act.
