Funds Para kay Junnie

A Friend of mine needs our help.

"Junnie, a young mother of 2 (age 7 and 3 months) was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 28, 2012.
She will need Chemotherapy sessions and other medical procedures that will cause big sum of money. We, her family and friends put this page together to help Junnie on her financial struggles.

If you know anyone who would like to donate, please pass this along to help us obtain our goal.

Whatever is raised via this fanpage goes to Junnie. We'd like to keep this small and simple. Together with those who are willing to help out, it's just our own little way of giving back."

We are truly grateful for your love and support.

Regards,
Family & Friends of Junnie.

And here it goes,

As you can see no sunrise, alam na ang mangyayari....

Awesome cloud formation, (galing-galing umaangat yung ulap) ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganyan.

Ang walang kamatayang peace sign. Ibang pose naman.

Yan nag-iba, hindi naman makatayo sa bato, masakit ang paa hahaha!

Partida almost walang tulog yan, lashing?.... and a bit windy nung time na yan pero feel pa rin nila.

nagpapaka-emo lang yung dalawang pasaway.

Wala pa ring sunrise, anong oras na....tsk, tsk, bigo kami

nasilaw sa flash?...wait...wala akong ginamit na flash hehehe!

Thanks for viewing!

Conquering Mt. Ampacao (Sagada, Mountain Province)

Altitude: 1889 MASL (386 meter gain)

There are two landmarks to remember when climbing Mt. Ampacao.

And the

The Ranch Part ( see the cow over there?)

Mula sa Jump-off point inabot kami ng halos lagpas isang oras papuntang ranch (may 3 stop over pa yan bago kami makarating).

One of the Stop Overs ( haggard na haggard lang hheheh!)

Mga ilang piktyur lang ang ginawa namin dahil sa sobrang pagod at hingal.

Nakalimutan ko yung name ng Town....

Nagpapaka-emo lang

Ang plano sana namin ay akyatin yung summit pero sabi ng aming Tour Guide kukulangin sa oras at aabutin kami ng dilim ( mahirap umakyat ng bundok pag madilim).

Sir Ben - Saggas Tour Guide ( thanks Sir Ben)

From the Ranch to the jump-off point inabot lang kami ng 45 minutes (pababa kasi mas madali.).

Notes:

* Bring lots of water.

* Pwede umakyat ng Mt. Ampacao kahit walang tour guide just follow the trail, mas maagi na rin na kumuha kayo ng Tour Guide marami pa kayong matu-tutunan.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the following persons:

* Sir Ben for being an excellent tour guide /no.1

* Sir Jake for the constructive criticism. ( ano sir, Mt. Pulag naman? hahha!) /wah and last but not the least.

 * The Chatroll Tambay Team for........alam nyo na yun, wala akong masabi hehehe!

Paglalakbay patungong Malabon Zoo

Isa akong Batang Malabon, dito ako isinilang, lumaki at nagka-isip, nagustuhan ang pancit malabon, nakasanayan ko na lumusong sa tubig-baha tuwing hightide, konting ulan lang may swimming pool na sa tapat ng bahay. ngunit parang kulang at nag-mumukha akong tanga tuwing tinatanong sakin kung saan at malabon zoo at di ko masagot kung saan o paano pumunta dun tulad na lamang ng eksenang ito.

Friend: Ui taga-malabon ka pala.

Me: Oo, taga-malabon ako

Friend: Eh di alam mo kung paano pumunta sa Malabon Zoo?.

Me: Di pa ako nakakapunta dun......

Friend: Maganda ba dun/?

Me: Sabi nila maganda daw.

Friend: Magkano entrance dun?

Me: Wala akong idea kung magkano.......

Kung mapapansin nyo parang akong musmos na walang kaalam-alam tungkol sa  isa mga sikat na atraksyon sa Siyudad ng Malabon, kaya noong nakaraang Mayo, napagpasyahan kong puntahan ito..

Sa sobrang excitement nakalimutan kong i-charge yung battery ng camera kaya konti lang yung pics. (fail #1)

gusto ko sanang kunin yung basura sa likod ng pagong pero di ko abot. :/

 Nice pose Grizzly Bear (....Grizzly Bear nga ba yan?)

Agaw pansin yung isda.......

Medyo i-close up natin.

Blogs that inspired me to travel

So here are the list and in no particular order.

Saggas.net - Dito nag-simula ang lahat, mula nang makita ko ang larawan Bomod-ok Falls, sinabi ko sa aking sarili na kailangan kong makapunta ng Sagada. Search dito, Search doon kung saan-saang website ako napadpad at narating ngunit kulang pa rin ako sa impormasyon. Sa aking kaka-google matagpuan ko ang blog na ito, Sagadagenuineguidesassociation,blogspot.com pa ang name pangalan ng kanilang blog ng aking natagpuan. Meron sila Chatroom kung saan pwede mong itanong ang iyong katanungang may kaugnayan sa Sagada.

Sa aking paglagi sa blog na ito marami rin akong nakilala Si Ann ng Ann-d-explorer.blogspot.com, Darwin of Trackingtreasure.net, Imjee of myjourney.blogspot.com, Sir wencel ng Biyahengpinoy.blogspot.com at marami pang iba. Paminsan-minsan makikita nyo akong nakatambay sa chatroom nila.

 

Thetravellingdork.com - Isa sa mga blog na lagi kong dinadalaw pag naghahanap ako ng impormasyon sa aking susunod na destinasyon. Kumpleto, detalyado , wala ka nang hahanapin pang iba. at very creative lalo na yung drawings sa kanyang portfolio.

Ann-d-explorer.blogspot.com - Ang Blog na nagtulak sakin na subukang i-celebrate ang aking Kaarawan sa malayong lugar, malayo sa bahay, kaibigan etc. etc.......

Iilan lamang sila sa marami blogs na aking nabisita na nakatulong saking paglalakbay, ngunit kulang ang espasyo at oras kung ilalagay kong lahat.

Note:

Ang mga ginamit na larawan ay galing sa kani-kanilang website at hindi ko pag-aari. maraming salamat po.

Potipot Island Summer Outing

Potipot Island is an island off the shore of Candelaria in Zambales. The island is a very small patch of land with white sand, trees,and surrounded by gentle waters. We went there for our annual company summer after a long, tiring, but fulfilling medical mission at Poonbato, Potota, Zambales

Here are some pics of our Medical Mission

We stayed at Dawal beach resort (sorry, walang pics nung entrance ng resort) one of the resorts near potipot island. click here for the website.

The Pool

after we regained our energy/strength, we ready ourselves to explore the secrets of the island.

early morning shots of the island

with the black?/gray? sand in front of the resort.

it was late afternoon when we decided to go to the island.(para iwas sunburn hehehe!)

a little bit too crowded eh?

call of nature?, don't worry, hindi mo na kailangang bumalik sa resort o maghukay sa buhangin there's a line of restrooms in the island..

theres a fee of course.

We managed to tour the whole island before the sun sets in the horizon.

 and the tour is not complete without the group pics. and jump shots

Special thanks to Atty. Henry for this pic.
