Amazing Striped Icebergs

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea

One Team, One Summer


A friend of mine bid farewell to our company after 7 years of working in a call center. What we did is planned a little summer getaway. We're supposed to go to Puerto Galera however, one of our friends is 8 months pregnant so the farthest we could go with her is Subic. We can't leave her behind 'coz she's the clown of the group.

We stayed overnight at All-Hands beach resort inside the freeport. Their villas are not that good and the service is poor. Sooobrang bagal. What's nice is that the villas are just beach front. Yun lang. I got myself a henna tattoo (Chinese character meaning Goodluck) and Vina, my other friend, got herself a butterfly henna tattoo.

Beach Surfer



I love this pic of my cousin Carlo taken by his dad.

Weekend with my family

We had our weekly weekend with our family last night. It's suppose to be at my Tita Caren's house (we always spend weekly evenings there) but they preffered spending it this time at Mimosa's Montevista's villas. We had crispy sisig, lechon manok and a lot more. What's funny is me and my cousins chose to eat "tuyo" and salted eggs with tomatoes. Yummy!

Me & my Lola
My Lola caught off guard...watching showbiz chismis. No one's around here except us because they all went swimming.

Hotel Reservations anyone?

I love travelling specially if I'm with my family and friends. What I hate most is that I'm all set to travel and just soon finding out that we don't have reserved accomodations.

Good thing Hotel Reservations can be made online now. Two choices can be made, it's either you book online or call their toll free number. Oh boy, they do have a lot off offers to choose from. From Hotels, motels, flights, car rentals, resorts, vacation packages and more. With these, you can save up to 70% off and the hassle of going one place to another. Don't you just love this? One click or phone call away, you can already plan the destionation of your life.

Every traveller must check on this one.

Snow World

, travelI know this post is kinda late but anyways, I still wanna share it...

Last December 22, my officemates & I went to Snow World at Star City. We had so much fun! There are coats provided by Star City but our friends who went before us suggested to bring our own jackets because there are alot of people na who wore the coats already. So I brought my Pink faux furry coat. Just imagine the temperature inside the Snow World, -15 degrees celcius! We were all freezing cold! Everything inside is surrounded by snow (frozen ice lang, LOL) and an Ice slide wherein you can play & slide with your friends.

We can't bear the coldness in our body so some of us decided to go out already. Upon checking out, I felt a sudden itch all over me includung my face. My gawd, I turned red and my cheeks got swollen too! I had an allergy pala due to the sudden change in temperature. Imagine, from negative15 degrees to 35 degrees... haay... Good thing after an hour or so, the redness just disappeared.

At last...

it's Saturday once again and it's my day-off. Weehee!!!

Okay, I got out in the office at exactly 10am. Some of my reps asked me if I want to join them go to SM and eat fishballs and kikiam...of course I said yes. It's been a month since I last ate those street foods. My mom doesn't want me eating those food specially the ones talaga sa street. I might get cholera daw. It's not everyday naman when I eat those eh.

After that, we just strolled at the mall. We were trying to find a silver necklace for Pam's boyfriend (one of my agent) at Silver Best. To my surprise, even Silvers are kind of expensive na din pala! Pam was eyeing a silver dog tag and it cost P2k plus! And I saw a Tiffany & Co. heart chain look alike necklace and it cost P5k! Whew! I didn't know that they're pricing silvers as such!

Then I went to the kiosk of Star Cruises, I asked the Sales Executive for some brochures and a quotation of their traveling fee. Upon seeing just the picture of the gigantic ship, I wish I win the lottery so that I could experience the brilliance of a World-Class Megaship in Asia Pacific. I wish to cruise someday, who knows I'll have excess money on my Christmas bonus. Asa pa! c",)
