Cebu - Bohol Photo Essay 3: Hotel kulitan and Larsian dinner

After arriving at the airport, we went straight to GV towers, to check in and meet Tres and Raio. Upon putting my bags in my room, went straight ahead to Tres's room and caught Raio on the bed with this pose hehehe

After just allowing the girls to freshen up, we went straight ahead to Larsian.
I have always been intrigued with the food in Larsian. I've read a lot of online articles about the barbeques on that place. In Pampanga, we also have a similar resto, located at San Fernando, and named MANUKAN. Its a smaller version of Larsian and same food, barbeque everywhere! hehehe

As we enter the place, the first thing you will notice is the smoke!! as in Holy Smoky!!! SUPER DUPER SMOKEY!! hahaha pede ka nang kainin after mong kumain dun sa larsian! haha

Heto nakakatawa, Paano tumawag ang mga tao ng customer?? ganito.. "PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!!! PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST!!! Dito na kayo!!" hahaha my friend was not used with the way they are doing things there and actually told me, "ah ah ayoko ko ng sinusutsutan!" hahaha

so after looking around, we chose a place, and went to grab our food. Here are the choices for dinner.

more, more, more barbeques!!

and rice served in traditional cebuano way!! (ehem, abel, nakailan ka nga?? hehe)

Kainan nah!! yum yum yum! This is an extension for my birthday blowout! hehe whew. sarap.

Ang dameng nakain ni jobel na rice! as in. hahaha nilalagay pa saken ung mga dahon nia! haha

Napansin nio, walang kutsara at tinidor!! you have to eat with your hands wrapped with plastic! :) Merong siomai na binili si Tres near the place, 6 pesos each. Ang sarap din. Kasing lasa ng meat balls sa loob ng Siopao na bola-bola flavor sa 7-11. :)

Excited kumain si tin.. hehehe

ang asim ng mangga! parang hindi galing cebu!

hmm.. mukhang nanghimagas na sila. ang sweet eh. hmpf. hehehe

Finally, TJ arrived from the airport! (nahuli kasi si tj ng flight. kaya nahuli din sia sa kainan. hehehe)

Quino joined us during the dinner and accompanied us during the night trip at cebu city. He is working there at cebu city. kaya sia ang may alam ng mga lugar d2. :)

A Great Friend

it feels good to be reunited with a great friend. always.

i can honestly say that i have lots of friends. given the nature of my job, it is not hard to have friends. and i am happy to have them. but, we are all looking for great friends. where everything is just more than what it seems. the connection is there. the bond is there. we are looking for those friends that we know, deep in our hearts, that we can rely on these people, for better or worse.

Nah, im not referring to girlfriends or boyfriends or whatever you want to call them. I am simply referring to a reliable friend. someone who understands who you are. someone who will be there for you in times of laughter and in times of need. everybody needs them. but not every one is fortunate enough to have them. I happen to have few great friends.

these people, i know i can rely on them. i know if i call for help, these people will come to the rescue. how do i know? the friendship has been tested through time and endured lots of twists and turns. unquestionable. friendship at its best. i am glad to say im blessed to have them.

and to you my great friend, thanks a lot. you really made my day.

im back!

and i missed my first job interview!!

I was out of town since Friday and I never had the chance to open my email during the weekend. I was thinking that if an employer is really serious in considering me, they will call. But no! they emailed me and set an interview schedule, and told me that the interview will be over SKYPE!! whew! what a news eh? Anyway, I think there is no reason for me to sulk over this mistake. What I did is I simply sent them another email informing them that I am sorry for missing the schedule because I was out of town and was not able to open my email. I will just wait for their reply.


Today, I am happy to say that I did the necessary "talk to your boss and tell him you are leaving" thing. And also, I talked to my landlady and informed her that I'll occupy the house only until middle of June. That will give me time to put my seven-year-lb-life to several boxes and transfer them to my next home. Where will that be? I still don't know. hehehe

It feels good to do something out of the box. I actually feel like I am one of those graduating students, ready to storm their way out of LB. hehehe

dats all for now. :)

students these days are having bad dreams...

AVATAR - The last air bender

i know. im too late for this. hahaha

i am not an anime fan. i'd rather watch a movie or a regular tv series than watch anime. but thanks to my friend Rey for giving me a copy of the three seasons of Avatar. Whew. I only had
a preview of the first episode, the next thing i knew, i can't stop watching it!!


The story is about a boy who is destined to be the Avatar (meaning, he's supposed to save the world by bringing balance to the four elements namely water, air, earth and fire. syempre, pasaway ang mga fire people. sounds like encantadia to me. hehehe) The problem about the this Avatar, he is way too young that he doesn't even know what to do!! So what happened is that he learned along the way.

Three things i love about this anime.

1) Their lasting friendship. The three main character kids displayed a friendship that everyone of us longs for. Is it nice to have your friends with you when you face your adversaries in life?

2) The avatar, though powerful, is not yet very good in controling it. More often than not, he does not know how to solve the problem or help the people he's supposed to help. Juat like us, a lot of times, we don't know what to do about the problems we have and we just simply do what we think is the best way to solve it. and then hope that we did the right thing. :)

3) i love the way he find ways to enjoi the journey of saving the world. despite the big problem he's facing, he will always find ways to make the trip fun and enjoyable. sometimes, this is what we need. to unleash the kids in our hearts and enjoy what life has to offer to us! :)

sick.

yesterday, everything was fine until after the long night walk, lasted about an hour long, went home and went to bed. that is around 1am in the morning. at around 1:20, i have fever already, and i have a very bad headache. I was actually afraid to close my eyes for the fear that I won't be able to wake up the next morning. Its not that I am afraid to die, I just don't want to die now, especially this time that a lot of things in my life are about to change.

as i was lying there in my bed, i was thinking of death. (sorry for being morbid, but my head really hurts that night and i don't know the reason why. so i was just preparing myself in case hahaha) and i asked myself, if I will die today,

what are the things i regret not doing?

the first thing, i will regret not able to build a house for my parents. its the one thing i promised them before they die and they are not growing any younger. i need to act fast.

the second one, i will regret not having a family. yeah i know, im still young (or i just feel like it) and as-a-matter-of-fact getting married is not yet on my list of priorities. i wonder how difficult it is to maintain a relationship...

the third thing, i will regret not finishing my thesis. i have to move now. time is running out...

and so on and so forth..

life really has its way of slowing us down and make us think about the things we really care about but forget about them because we get distracted by our other endeavors in life. getting sick last night allowed me to check my priorities and do something with them NOW, while there is still enough time to do them.

how about you?

HOTness

naisip ko lang...

"aanhin mo ang HOT kung mapapaso ka lang naman??"

Productive day

today is one productive day for me even though its too hot here in the Philippines!

i was able to check several batches of papers for my classes and do some follow up on some things that i need to settle. :)

productive day are happy day. I feel like treating myself one IC's quarter pounder and a bottle of ice cold red horse.


care to join me celebrate? :)

Events Organizing Job

Last night, after my very late dinner or very heavy midnight snack, i read an issue of APPETITE MAGAZINE.

what caught my attention in that issues is the part where they featured 6 of the country's top event management leaders from the different top caliber hotels in Manila. 6 leaders. all women.

as I am looking for a new job, one of my option is to have a job on event management. i want those jobs that will allow me to talk to a lot of people and meet a lot of clients. pero yoko ng sales. i want a job that is more of a service type rather than a sales type. pero gusto ko yung you lead your team, you talk a lot (hehehe) and you make people happy with your service. hahaha well, looking... looking... looking...

i was wondering last night...

WALA BANG LALAKI SA EVENT MANAGEMENT TOP POSITIONS?

bye guys! :)

book reading

one of my goal this year is to finish reading more than 10 books/novels.
im not a reader. atleast of novels. of course I read a lot of textbooks for my classes.
but not novels.

i have lots of novels. mostly given by friends and some i personally purchased upon recommendation by my book lover friend ever - tanya. (she recommended white tiger, i bought it 3 months ago. but never had the chance to read it)

i just finished my first book. Para kay B by Ricky Lee.

as for the moment, im reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.
this time, i decided to write my notes on the book. underline, put a star, asterisk, exclamation point and so on..

so wait and see.. ill be sharing with you the insights i learned from the book as soon as im done with it. :)

for the cebu part 2, still, some pics are missing, sorry guys to keep you waiting. :)

im done teaching. time to say goodbye uplb.

Several weeks ago, i told our staff that i won't be renewing my contract next year. At ang bilis kumalat ng balita. This morning, my friend from manila asked me through ym if the news he heard there in manila is true. And I asked, about what? he told me that he heard that im resigning. what the heck?! People have been talking behind my back at hanggang manila umabot ang balita. So I decided to do this blog now.

YES. IM DONE WITH TEACHING.
BY JUNE 1, 2009, IM OUT OF UPLB.

I have been planning bout this already since last year. But then again, after considering some things, I decided to extend for another year. Last October 2008, I made several applications and attended some interviews. I originally planned to resign last october if ever a company will offer a job i want before 2nd semester starts. I got 3 job offers at the middle of November 2008. I told myself that its too late and the class already started that time. I can't bring myself to my superior and tell them im leaving at the start of the sem. I can't do it. I know how hard to get a teaching staff at that particular time. so i decided to finish until May 2009.

Sir Jimmy asked me why i suddenly decided to go out. My reason is i wanted to try other things. Im looking forward to a new work, new environment, new officemates, new place, etc etc. I want to do something for my professional growth. I want to try something new. It was never about salary or conflicts or lost of interest. no. its not that. I just want to explore new opportunities for me. that is the real reason for this decision. :)

And yes, im officially looking for work.
