Looking for a place to sit

The Philippines' Trip - Day 1

04 December 2014

Boarded Cebu Pacific (5J 734) at 2.15 in the morning from KKIA Terminal 2.  We arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 at 4.10 in the morning.  After everything sorted out at the airport, we proceeded to the awaiting van.  And the journey began.

We arrived at Clark around 6.30 in the morning.  We checked in at Juanita's Guesthouse.  After freshened ourselves, off we go for breakfast.  Everyone was starving.  The only place we could eat that early in the morning was at Chow King, a very popular fast food restaurant in the Philippines.

For our first visit, we went to Subic's Marine Park. There was an entrance fee of 550 pesos per adult.  It was around 45.00 Ringgit Malaysia.  Just like other ocean adventures, this park also had whales, sea lions, and other animals. 

The weather was quite hot but we had fun.  Especially the Balancing Act show.  Then, we had our lunch in their one and only restaurant.  Packed with people.  After we ate, we browsed through their souvenir shop.  Bought one or two souvenirs then off we go!

Reaching SM Mall.  And it was shopping time!  Well not for me though but for the children.  I was only interested with the cooling air conditioning.

Done with shopping, we went back to our hotel.  Rested for a while before dinner.  Our first dinner, we ate the ever-popular Lechon!  Not to my liking anyway.  Just tasted a bit.

After dinner, the children gone back to their room.  It's time for the adult to explore Clark's nightlife :)  Anyway, I was too tired to enjoy everything.  Just imagined, I have not slept since I left KK!  Around 11.30 we left the pub.

Took bath and dozed off!  End of Day 1.

Getting Well.....Slowly

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was not feeling well since Christmas last year.  Coughing, coughing and coughing.  I've seen a doctor, bought Chinese herbs, keep on visiting pharmacy but still no results.

So, last January 28th, following an advice from a colleague, I went to see see a Sensei a.k.a. Sinsang and he prescribed me medicines as pictures.  It was a three-day prescriptions. Finished them all.  The cough slowly receding.  Thank God!

I hope it will be gone completely soon.

In the meantime, I have watched:

Mortdecai ( I watched this because of Johnny Depp!)

Wild Card

Next post will be about  the Philippines' trip :) ........hopefully!

First Entry in 2015

The apples of my eyes!

Happy New Year 2015!

Not a good start for me :(  I was coughing since Christmas.  Swallowed all kind of medicines, yet the cough doesn't want to go anywhere [sigh]

I was so looking forward of Pope Francis' visits to the Philippines, been preparing for it since early of 2014 but, God's will, I didn't or rather I couldn't go :(  Been thinking about this, why oh why?  Just last night (17.01.15) it popped into my head, I can't go because of work!  I said to myself, what happened then, if I really went!

I've been super duper busy since the beginning of January.  I have to catch up all the deadlines!  I hope and I pray that I would be able to meet all the deadlines on time without much difficulties.

Besides all the routines, I managed to ease myself for movies.  I've seen:

1) Taken 3

2) Blackhat

3) Into the Woods

What else?

My daughter has gone back to college

My 1st son also back to college

My 2nd son..hmmm..enjoying his holiday while waiting for his SPM results

Oh by the way, I went to the Philippines last year or should I say, last month? I will try and share my visits there in my next entry.  I said, I will try! ok...ciao!

A Blessed Palm Sunday to everyone!

In Memory of Sr. Sylvia

My last posting was about Mother's Day. My mom went to the Philippines to be with my sister who was very sick that time. It was indeed the last Mother's Day celebration for my sister as she was called eternally by the Lord after that.


Prior to my mom's visit, my younger sister and I visited her. We tried our best to make it the most precious and memorable moments with her. We knew that she was in great pain but tried to hide it from us. We never heard her complaint. She was a great sufferer!

There are many things to say but I just can't go on.

On May 22nd, 2011 at around 11.00pm, she went Home to meet the Lord. My mom was beside her and her passing was peacefully. Pope John Paul II was there to guide her journey. I believe she is now in heaven, in a good hand of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Today, is her 6th month anniversary. May her soul rest in peace.

"Syl, I really miss you!"
