This is gonna be a long drive, i felt it from the moment we agreed to go on a drive.fr0m the lo0ks in our faces,we b0th kn0w where we were going, no questions needed. maps,GPS nor specific directions from other people were neither necessary. we didn't even bother checking on the weather update. all we know it's going t0 be much fun.<br />
<br />
We're off to a good start - really smooth. the sun was up high but n0t scorching h0t. i could feel the wind as it touches our chubby cheeks. ahhh..n0thing completes my day than this - y0u and me headed towards what seemed to be infinity.<br />
<br />
The long chats we had cover mostly politics and about us. the scenic views that we see along the way are captured in every single shot. they also provoke another good chat on environment,indigenous people, tourism,among others. <br />
<br />
Once in a while,we stop f0r a much needed rest at any restaurant or cafe that would suit our palette, that is, where steaming-hot pancit canton, kape,with lots of milk in it, and pandesal could be found. I love the fact that we were so simple with our preferences. we both agree that coffee nowadays are way too commercialized (though sometimes i am guilty of indulging in it) and patronizing them would mean victory on the part of the capitalists,hehehe<br />
<br />
As soon as darkness sets in, we opt to stay not in a plush hotel but in a simple room with clean sheets and bathroom and top priority would be security. we were like backpackers. not much vanity. the things that we need are in one huge backpack. you never even cared if i wear makeup or not. my face as you kept on saying, is enough to satisfy your deep-set eyes.Warrior Mommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03875685478575117366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076904603547430914.post-19729782273186801692013-04-24T07:28:00.001-07:002013-04-24T07:33:32.148-07:00Travel Tips <br />
<div style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Planning on exploring a new place? How about considering these ones:</span></b></div>
<br style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">1</span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">. Never romanticize on the place where you intend to visit. No matter what other people have said about the place or no matter what reviews have come out on blogs or TV programs, remember that their experience may not be the same with you and their views on things could be far different from yours. Just keep an open mind at all times and expect the unexpected, that's how it is to go for an adventure.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2. Do your research before going to that place. A lot of it. Do not rely on one or two sources. Luckily nowadays, we've got tons of bloggers who document every single thing they do on their journeys and the Tri-media work well in scouting for unexplored areas so information comes easy to us. Again, focus only on the information you need and forego for now the reviews and comments. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">3. Bring loose change. This is not for using the payphone but it's a real hassle to be looking for a commercial place that would be willing to change your bills, more so if it's a remote area. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">4. Always tip the staff or anyone who has served you. Be generous. And for those who have kept you safe in risky situations like the "mamang bangkero", if you're not a good swimmer and the weather isn't really good for boating, say your thank yous and give a really good tip.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">5. Haggle. Some tourist areas have become so commercialized that even rates, fare and prices have jacked up. Believe me, it's ok to haggle and you'll be surprised if they give in to the price you're asking.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">6. Bring only the basics. The thrill of backpacking is to survive with what you've got. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">7. Be understanding. If you ask a question and the locals would pass on the question to another local and they start talking in the vernacular, don't frown, make faces or show any signs of irritation. Remember not all Pinoys can speak Filipino efficiently. Ask politely. They'll try their best to tell you what they know. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">7. Smile a lot. It really transgresses boundaries. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: #333333; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<br />
8. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I need to add this,for those who have a typical Pinoy nose like me, make sure to put tons of sunblock on it or use a wide brimmed hat to cover it. Don't just use sunnies. Your nose would be very shiny soon and you wouldn't like it. LOL</span></div>

I watch cartoons randomly. Whatever is on TV as long as I like it, I'll stay and keep watching. But I do remember liking Bart and Homer Simpson, but not really like like. Back then, I find it cool that they were mean and funny. And their family seems to be so different, like having pizza most of the time or they're always on the go. I love that. I also love Marge's hair. No one can sport a hair like that but her. LOL </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Nowadays, there are cartoon series that has the same theme as The Simpsons but no one beats the original. I still prefer The Simpsons over them. But if I have to choose a cartoon character for my child,I'll definitely not recommend The Simpsons. Maybe I'll go for Upin and Ipin or Phineas and Ferb. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Why visit Sta.Ana, Cagayan</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. If you're looking for something new to explore, Sta.Ana is a good choice. It's not yet too commercialized like Boracay, Puerto Galera or Palawan. The room rates, food and fare (including boat fare) are not too costly yet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. The white sand. Yes, it's not only Pagudpud that claims the title Boracay of the North but Sta.Ana in Cagayan is already claiming to be the Real Boracay of the North because of its white sand, calm and pristine waters and great sights. Yes, there are islands to visit too in Sta.Ana.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

</tbody></table>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. The roads. The Sta.Ana government seems to be relying much on Tourism which is clearly seen in their well developed roads and structures. Even the roads that lead to the remotest area of the beach is cemented making travelling easy for tourists.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. There are lots of resorts and hotels to choose from. And most of the resorts personnel are easy to contact and deal with.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. The place is not too crowded. Good for those looking for some peace and quiet.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->On my bub’s first year, I’ve become a proud baby
wearing mama. Baby wearing is not new
for someone like me who hails from the Cordillera region. It has long been practiced by moms & grandmas, the only difference is that, our parents used
blankets instead of the modern ring slings or sling pouches. My ring sling has helped me a lot in going
around Manila and in travelling with baby alone. I was able to ride a pedicab,
tricycle, jeepney, the MRT and LRT with my bub in tow. I knew it was easier that way rather than
putting baby in his pram. We all know Manila is not & was never child
friendly. There are no ramps for prams, the elevators are always jampacked with
people who never bothers to give way to moms with babies or in some places, the
lift is not-in-service forever. Even crossing the streets of Manila with a pram
is like playing patintero with the drivers. In travelling by bus, since we’re
not used to car seats for babies, my ring sling has kept him safe in my arms
& made sleeping even longer. A whole night trip to our province was made
easier by my sling. <o:p></o:p></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Aside from baby-wearing, I’ve also become a
cloth-diapering mama. Thank you to online forums that introduced cloth
diapering to me. I started with 4 pcs of Cloth Diapers (CD) only which
eventually became a two-day supply of nappies. The reason I switched to CDing right away are
the benefits that come with it: 1. They’re
very safe for baby’s bum unlike disposables which contain lots of chemicals
that could harm baby’s skin. 2. They’re
environment friendly. Think about the number of babies nowadays multiplied by
the number of disposables they use daily. All of these disposables take 250- 500 years
to fully decompose. Gasp! (<a href="http://breathofsunshine.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/going-cloth/">http://breathofsunshine.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/going-cloth/</a>)
3. One can save a lot by using CDs. Though these nappies are expensive to buy
out right (1 pc cost around P300 for China nappies and P700 - 1000 for US
brands), it would be worth it in the long run. They can be reused even after
baby is potty trained. And they can
still be sold to other CDing moms. Some of my bub’s nappies are EUC’s, which I bought
from moms whom I share the same love for CDs. <o:p></o:p></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->On breastfeeding. This is one I truly truly
regret. I failed to exclusively breastfed my baby. The hospital was very
supportive & my OB was even really pushy with it but when we got home, I realized
I don’t have the support system I needed to continue breastfeeding. Though there’s
tons of information that Google could offer, still I needed physical help. There
was no one to make soup for me or buy veggies for me to cook. No one to do the
cleaning, washing, laundry, etc. I focused so much on these that I wasn’t
nursing enough to produce much milk. I should have known that time that it’s ok
to live in an untidy smelly place than to feed my baby with formula. Tsk.Tsk.<o:p></o:p></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Google was an ally throughout those days that I need
help on motherhood. Every single Q, I checked
with Google but not all were answered & answers have to be verified of
course. Social networking was my only way to socialize, hence the term, LOL. I’ve
joined online groups for moms and found virtual friends to exchange thoughts
with. During baby’s feeding and sleeping
times and I couldn’t leave his side, mobile internet and games have kept me
company and somehow kept my sanity. I also
got hooked with online shopping. It was a convenient way to shop during the
first months when I couldn’t bring baby out yet. <o:p></o:p></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->His first year is filled with dramatic changes, adjustments,
of triumph, loving, living and learning not only for my bub but for me as well.
I became a mom and that made it all different now. Priorities have changed. What
used to be ME have become HIM, then US. <o:p></o:p></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->My father’s definition of a mom clearly applies
to us,”isusubo mo na lang,ibibigay mo pa.” Its meaning was made clearer by what
I’ve gone through on his first year. Since he came, a few minutes of peace and
quiet has become a luxury, sleeping soundly at night has then become a dream, a
few hours for leisure is one I could no longer afford, bath time has to be
quicker than before (to think that I don’t really spend much time for this) and
worst, enjoying my meals whether dining out or not, is what I truly miss. I
love to eat! :D But does that make me
unhappy? No. It never was and never will. Though I admit I miss my ME time but if I look
at my baby and see how healthy and sweet he is I’d shrug things off and say
“pat your back Dom. You’re doing a good job.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->I’ve learned that motherhood is truly getting
out of your comfort zone. It’s like leaving your clean and soft bed in exchange
of tarnished and lumpy one and enduring all the discomforts that come with it,
all because of love. Motherhood is more than an advocacy, it’s a life. It’s one
that I’ve embraced from the day I’ve learned I’m pregnant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->8.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->After having gone through all those, again it made
me realize one important thing, which is <b><i>to focus on my baby but not to forget myself
too</i></b>. On his first year, everything I did was geared towards keeping my
baby healthy, happy and safe forgetting the fact that I needed attention too. That
I also have needs to be met. I didn’t bother to check on how I look, I didn’t
care if I was still gaining weight after I had already given birth, etc. etc.
but beyond the looks, is the need to keep myself healthy, safe and positive for
my baby for no one else would look after him and love him the way a mom does. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Dear Anak,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b><b>It’s been a year anak! :D Today,
you’re no longer a baby but a very bubbly toddler. Over the past 12 months, I've witnessed how you've developed from a tiny blob into becoming a huge wave. Yes, a wave that
rocks mama’s heart whenever you coo, smile, laugh and blink like a speck has
gotten into your eyes. You've become so
active now that carrying you around has become tiresome, you squirm a lot on
mama’s arms if not push mama real hard so you’ll slide on my legs down to the
floor. You've also mastered the art of dancing using your shoulders and arms
only (hope the legs and bum would start wiggling soon too). You've also learned to communicate well with
gestures. What used to be a usual clapping has a new meaning to you now. You
clap to show your appreciation and happiness. And you point a lot too! You have
a fascination for lights and anything that lights up. (if they’re any
different)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b><b>Walking is already a part of you
too. Those tiny steps you do are overwhelming. It creates a stir in a crowd!
Every step you do creates a loud cheering noise, as if you've won the piston
cup. LOL Climbing followed next and this
scares me a lot. You see my dear, you've become a real handful now but that’s
ok. It’s all part of having a baby that’s as handful as his mama LOL again!</b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Turning one also means a time for
you to share dinner with us. It’s like saying
you can eat anything that mama wants to eat. :D This anak has made me say “hay
salamat”, not because mama is too lazy to prepare a separate meal for you but
it made things easier for both of us.</b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>We’re very lucky that the only
visits to your pedia are for vaccinations and for cough & colds. Which is
why we’re never used to seeing you sick, a slight fever creates panic and
stresses us out – really! Crying was also never you! You cried so hard upon
coming out of mama’s tummy but rarely the rest of your first year. But lately, you've realized that crying can get things done your way and since, we’re so
not used to loud noises coming from you, we fret and give in easily to your
demands. I hope that won’t make you brattier than mama. :D</b><b><br /></b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Happy birthday! Cheers! I love
you!</b></span><br />

Not for me and my bub. I've been on a ten-twelve hour bus ride with my baby for a few times already and everything turned out fine. The key word here is </span><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">PREPARATION</span></b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">. Plan and pack everything you and your baby would need on the trip. The essentials for my baby are 5 nappies,1 pack of wipes,1 box of disposable liners for his bottle, 1 litre baby's water,milk formula already placed on 3-4 bottles,1 hand sanitizer (I bought mine from Tiny Buds),2 extra shirts, 1 jacket,2 extra shorts/pants, 1 extra pair of socks and any toy to entertain him when he starts to get fussy. I'm lucky my baby sleeps most of the time. I don't usually bring a change mat for him since I've got a baby sling which can also be used as such. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As for me, I only need my baby sling, alcohol, tissue paper, my mobile phone, cash, jacket and my pashmina or malong to keep us warm when it turns really cold at the wee hours of the morning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All of baby's essentials and mine are on a baby bag which I find it easier to open and close. The extra pockets for baby's bottles to avoid leaking milk or water are also useful. Though backpacks are easier to carry, I still find them a bit heavy and huge, not suited for my built. </span>Warrior Mommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03875685478575117366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076904603547430914.post-30003370507387110092012-03-21T09:52:00.000-07:002012-03-21T09:52:48.950-07:00babies five wordshere's a very interesting video on what do babies mean when they say these five words. watch it!<br />

At first, we thought DBS pipes are good then came the Nanban which they say is better than DBS. The dilemma then lies on whether to go for DBS or Nanban. Luckily, Marc had the chance to chat with a motorcycle expert who recommended NJ pipes. </span><br />

The only data we have is that the NJ shop is in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan,so off we went to search for it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

masisisi m0 ba ang taumbayan kung kauupo palang ng isang politiko eh may nanawagan na ng oust o patalsikin si ____ !?<br /><br />sabi nga..wala sa mga ta0 ang problema..nasa sistema pa rin..the system sucks, sabi ng mga peti-burges..inuugat it0 dapat at hindi tinitignan ang eleksyon bilang solusyon sa problema. kada tatlo 0 apat na ta0n may eleksyon, per0 ganun pa rin..ang hinahangad nating pagbabago,mailap pa rin. ibig sabihin lang nun, hindi man0-mano o automated eleksy0n ang kasagutan.<br /><br />sa mga uring peti-burges o mga intelektwal, ibinot0 si gibo. galing at talino daw eh.naniniwala sila na dapat may utak ang magpatakbo ng ating bansa. tama nga naman. pero hindi ba't matalino din si arroy0? si marcos? at iba pa per0 ang inaasahan nating ibibigay nilang pagbabago ay lumala. liban pa sa si gibo ay maka-arroyo o maka-administrasyon.<br /><br />si erap, sa kanya pa rin nakadepende ang masa. sabi nga nung isang nakausap ko nung tinanong ko siya kung sinong presidente nya,si erap daw. bakit po? ang sagot,kasi nung panahon niya.mababa ang presyo ng mga bilihin.napakasimple ng sagot diba? mula sa isang taong nakakaranas ng tinatatawag nating "hand to mouth existence",ang presyo ng bilihin ang pangunahing basehan.isinasantabi na ang mga dahilan kung bakit natanggal sa pagkapangulo no0n si erap,isinasantabi na ang ilang bily0ng ninakaw nito sa kaban ng bayan maibalik lang ang mababang presyo ng asukal at NFA rice.<br /><br />si villar..mayaman.sa kanyang mga commercial,parang kayang kaya niyang magpamigay ng bahay sa bawat pamilyang pilipino. marami ding kinakaharap na kaso, usapin sa korapsyon ang pangunahin per0 nanatili sa presidential race,hindi bumigay sa gitna ng walang habas na pambabato sa kanya nga mga kapwa nya senador ng mga kaso. ibin0to siya ng mga taong naghahanap ng bagong dugo sa pagkapangulo. nabigo man pero nanatili pa rin namang senador.asahan na natin ang milyon-milyong buwis na bigla na lang maglalaho,pambawi sa kanyang ginast0s nit0ng nakaraang eleksyon.<br /><br />si noynoy..ahh..the yellow fever leaves on.tama nga sila..maraming naniwala na kaya niyang ipagpatuloy ang nasimulan ng kanyang mga magulang.that remains to be seen ika nga. sceptical ako? sceptical ang mga ta0? mahirap naman yata kasing sabihing "o0,kaya nya" kung wala pa siyang napapatunayan.sabi naman ni kris,"he has served three terms daw as a congressman and later on became a senator.." sapat na ba yun?si lito lapid nga,three terms din na governor at naging senador pero may napala ba tayo sa kanya.liban sa inaliw niya ang mga tiyuhin natin sa kaniyang pagtumbling..<br /><br />may nanalo.may natalo.pero ang taumbayan,talong-talo.<br /><br />pano naman si madrigal,gordon,villanueva,acosta,perlas,atbp? sa maniwala kayo't sa hindi,mga pampagulo lang sila.paano?panghati ng boto.panghatak ng boto.<br /><br />paanO? ang eleksyon ay isang malaking laro..<br /><br />malabo ba? p0litika eh..Warrior Mommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03875685478575117366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076904603547430914.post-27032256016960939062010-04-07T07:58:00.000-07:002010-04-07T08:09:23.746-07:00siguro nga..ang sabi ng matatanda, ang buhay daw ng tao hindi nauubusan ng hirap at pasakit, kaya matututong magtiis. "anos/anus lang" ang sabi sa Ilocano. <br /><br />ang tan0ng, hanggang kelan dapat magtiis? walang katapusan ang paghihirap, wala din bang katapusan ang pagtitiis? ayoko naman yata nun.nakakapagod.<br /><br />magtitiis na lang ba ako lagi? magtitiis ako kahit nai-sasakripisyo na ang aking kaligayahan o magsasakripisyo pa rin ako kahit naapak-apakan na ako bilang isang tao?<br /><br />may hangganan ang lahat ng bagay.ang tao nag-iisip din,nakakaramdam ng pagbabago,ang puso't isipan napapagod din..Warrior

I’ve gotten used to people asking me to repeat my name, either they didn't get it right the first time or they just wanted to make sure they heard me right. Some like it and I love it. Others find it unique and i smile at the thought of it.
<br />
<br />For more than a decade, I’ve been trying to hide or keep my real name away from the prying eyes of the military but now that my priorities have changed, I still try to keep it unknown for some reasons. <span style=""> </span>I remember one time, I was at a cafe, I overheard the cashier asking the customer for her name. The woman was taken aback and asked “para saan?” only to realize that she’ll be called once her coffee is ready. Still, it’s a normal reaction right? If a stranger asks for your name, you need to ask why first or better yet, give another name which i, as a rule do if I know I would never get to see that person again, hehe Sounds mean? I don’t think so..</p><p class="MsoNormal">

Definitely! A1 claims that they could teach anyone to drive in less than five hours of training and yes, i could attest to that, they could really do it. I thought my first session with Jeff as my instructor would be more of orientation on the parts or on the basics of driving. I was wrong. Ten minutes after we have reviewed the gas, clutch, brakes and how to start the car, i was already on the driver's seat manipulating the car with Jeff giving me all the instructions. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Prior to one's actual driving lessons, A1 normally gives an orientation held for two hours in various branches.

On my part, the confidence came after i have mastered everything. I was only brave while holding the wheels because i know my instructor has his own brakes <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">infront</span> of him. Another good thing with having my instructor is they're still in control with the turning of wheels. Most of my instructors have grabbed not only twice but maybe around five the steering wheel.
