ansabee...

Sabi ko ang goal ko last year ay makalipat ng trabaho, hindi magpalipat lipat ng trabaho taon taon.

Oh well.

So eto ang kwento:

I am unemployed today. ONLY TODAY.

And i will start working tomorrow. I am hoping eto na talaga to. Sana eto na ang career na hanap ko.

Wish me more luck.

I did it again for Pasig!

Yes, I did it again. I ran for the Pasig River last 11202011.


I am really concerned with the river's situation. But at the same time, I want to spend time with my friends, in a different way.

4am. himbing pa ko nyan on an ordinary day.

we love runforpasigriver!

runner ka teh?

still champions! hahaha

with free mcdo bfast c/o Janeth! love you dear! hahaha

Ok. I was a bit disappointed because I wasn't able to see any of the kapamilya stars... chos lang! hahaha
But I did expect to see one. Sadly, wala nga. 


Also, the event did not start on time. Maybe because the organizers were still waiting for other participants to come so we could beat last year's record. another thing na nakakalungkot, hindi natin na-beat ang record. But it's ok. This will still be a really really great help for the river.


Hindi naman puro negative ang comment ko noh? last na to... promise. ang hirap kasi ng transportation after the event. Sana next time at least, magcoordinate man lang sa mga jeepneys or bus operators para madali makauwi yung mga participants. hindi naman kailangang libre. Pagod na nga pagtakbo, naglakad pa pauwi. Come on! hehehe






Despite all my comments, I am still looking forward for another run for Pasig river next year. I know it will be better!

Minding my own business

Yes. Business minded person na ako ngayon.
I am hoping that what I've started now will be a stable source of income in the next few months (please...)
Di ko akalain na sobrang hirap pala. at talagang dugo't pawis ang ibubuhos mo maayos lang.


'There's no such thing as part time business.'


Part time job meron. Pero part time business, wala. In order for it to work, kailangan talaga TODO NA 'TO!
But right now, I do have a job. At wala pa akong planong tumigil within the next 2 to 3 years. 
So I do not have a choice but to manage things at the same time. Carry pa naman. Medyo affected nga lang ang business dahil hindi ko maiadvertise in full blast dahil baka hindi ko kayanin ang madami. Sacrifice din ang tulog at pahinga. 


So ano ba ang inaatupag ko???

Iba Ang May Plano

Natuwa lang ako kasi narealize kong natutupad ko unti unti ang mga plano ko. Iba talaga ang may plano.
Clear here to see my post for the new year

So ano ba ang natupad?
1. New Job! yes! tama! correct! ahah!
2. Getaways with friends and family. done! and more to come!


Anong hindi pa natutupad?
1. Yung pangarap kong new pc or laptop.
2. Ang straightening things up.


o diba, 50-50 na...


may additional accomplishments pa ko this year.
1. I already started the business I've been thinking/planning/considering/dreaming of for the past months/years.... hehehe. Hindi ko pa maayos pero at least nasimulan ko na. And I'm hoping na by next year ay maging reliable source of income na sya. For now, patuloy ang reasearch, practice, at planning. =P
2. Nakapagopen na din ako ng savings account! yey! Ilang taon ko ng New years resolution ito. Natupad din sa Wakas!




Congratulate me friends!=)

Lake Lovin'. Lake Laughin' --- Pandin, Yambo, Sampaloc Lake Escapade

Eto nanaman ang makakating paa namin. biglang nakaisip ng gala. Gumising na lang kami isang araw na may planong pumunta sa san pablo... hehehe


Medyo may katangahan pa ng kaunti (kaunti lang naman)... 
Lesson learned: Ang Jolibee Sto. Tomas ay iba sa Jolibee Turbina.. ok?


hehehe...


Two nights before the trip, I called Aling Sion para sa reservation. It is better to have a reservation kung ayaw mong maghintay ng matagal especially if you're coming on a weekend.


Here are the numbers you need to dial for that reservation ===> 09299789565


the tour costs 180 per person
the food costs 180 per person


clear? =)
For me it is better to bring your own food. para kung medyo choosy ka, no problem. or let them know what you want. They'll cook it for you (for a fee, of course)


how to commute???
(note, this is how i commute.hehehe)
If you are from manila, just ride a bus going to lucena. 
meron ng mga jeepneys going to san pablo kahit nasa sto. tomas ka pa lang so pwede ka na bumaba dun or continue the ride until you feel like going down the bus. hehehe.


(by the way, there are also a lot of GTT van going straight to San Pablo. That might be your best option.)


basta sumakay ka ng jeepney going to san pablo. and as long as you see the San Pablo Cathedral, hindi ka maliligaw. Get off the jeepney once you're near the church. Face the church. Keep right. To your right, you'll see 711. There's no other 711 around the area so you can't really get lost. Grab a drink (WATER..).hehe. May pila ng jeep beside 711 that has a signboard ILOG. Ride that jeepney... and tell the driver VERY CLEARLY that you want to go to lake pandin. The fare is around 12 pesos, if i remember it right. 


ok. When you ride the jeep, Lake pandin will be it's last stop. and the driver might even opt not to go there anymore. worry not. you can walk. hehehe. Malapit lang sya... hindi ka din mawawala since may mga road signs naman. 


You'll know you're there when you see Gov. Ejercito's tarpaulin. 
If it is a weekend, you'll also probably see a number of cars parked near it. 


Call aling sion right away and tell her you've arrived. =)




Going back...
Aling Sion accompanied us going to the lake. It's a short walk compared to the path leading Kabigan Falls (Ilocos Norte).


The Lake is not enchanting or awesome or magical in any way. It is good. And the tour is really really relaxing. But I admit, hindi sya super ganda... Especially dun sa shore where the tour will start. Medyo madami ng basura. at madaming tao. But during the tour, super relaxing talaga. at VIP treatment ang mga lady paddlers dun. Special thanks to Ate Lot2 at Ate Marina...

see. there are signs..

tree-shaped clouds... kiddin'

umeeksena

the shore....

and the people...

under the heat of the sun

refreshing buko juice! hahaha!

ate marina... camera shy pa...

let's start the tour.

on the other side. 

lunch time.

so green...

pre nap ng bruha... pre nap = bago matulog. hehehe

going to Yambo lake

Yambo lake from afar

no tour at Yambo???? why?

It is mandatory to wear life vests. it is...

ate lot2. all smiles.

sunburn

to the shore in a few minutes... 

Good bye Lake Pandin!

hello Sampaloc Lake!

thanks tripod...

while waiting. and waiting. and waiting.

pancit at Cafe Lago

tunapay.... =)

cooking the moons???

Namimintana...

Cafe Lago.

Bye Cafe Lago...

You might want to know how to go around the city and how to get back home...
Eto...
from Lake pandin, lalakad ulit. sa same na daan na nilakaran going to the lake. It is best if you are accompanied by someone from the lake ( we were accompanied by Mang Tano by the way)... Kala mo alam mo na ang daan pero hindi. nakakaligaw sya. 


Pag narating nyo na ang main road, sakay kayo ng jeepney , signboard SAN PABLO. wala namang iba.... =) Get off at San Pablo proper. You'll know you're there (again) when you see the church... From there, you can ride the tricycle to get to Sampaloc Lake....


Getting Back...Just ride that tricycle again. hehehe


From the town proper, there are jeepneys heading to Sto. Tomas... Ride that jeepney and ask to be dropped off at Sto. Tomas Public Market. There are buses passing on that area going to Buendia, Cubao, etc.




Now, comments.


Pandin, Yambo and Sampaloc lakes. They are simple. Not amazing. not awesome. Not Magical. As i said earlier. But they are not ugly either. I just wish that they stay that way (or even improve when it comes to cleanliness). I don't want to see them full of BASURA, in the future...


Cafe Lago. If i'm gonna rate it 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, the rating is 4. Yes. I was disappointed. Maybe because I heard a lot about the place. Positive feedbacks, praises, etc. 
Ang pansit? pansit tagapo could make better pansit than that.
Ang Tuna sandwich? I could make that one on my own.
Siguro satisfied ako kung mura lang sya. 




That's all folks!
