  • Please let there be High Speed Bullet Trains from San Diego to San Francisco, California! And the the rest of the USA. Know why a bullet train can change everything.
  • When I was still in Singapore, I made sure that after we finished our contract with our first flat I will look for a walking-distance lodging for the next few years. The rent was higher but, I don\’t mind at all. It doesn\’t come at par to the stress of commuting and traffic. My family could tell that ever since I moved to Everton Park, I\’m happier. It\’s a different story here in the car country. For now, I\’m still happy with walking and public transport. It may not be perfect but, it works for me. Some people think so too.
  • Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived. It\’s not a question, it\’s a fact. Read it here.
  • For me, garapon is still the best drinking glass ever! That\’s my pa-hipster way of drinking on a unique glass when I was younger. I only stopped doing that when I found out that one of it was used to store my sister\’s frog for biology class. Fast forward to today, mason jars are all over Pinterest. Click and find out, why Mason Jars regained its popularity.
  • I\’m just glad Jessica Zafra is back to writing.

Linklovin 3 – Quit Day Job Then Travel

or DO SOMETHING ELSE.
If my situation right now has been the complete opposite, I would like to travel the world SOLO. How I wish I used my money wisely and saved up for it. But that\’s the thing of the past now. Everything that I know now are because of my past mistakes that served as life lessons. I\’m also thankful that I\’ve met a lot of people who are very open-minded. For me, living and working in Singapore was my game-changer. My perspective to life changed. I even remember Nerisa (my Malay colleague) that I think differently and very open to try other options.
Don\’t get me wrong, I love what I have right now. And if it wasn\’t for my day job, I couldn\’t have met my husband. What I want now is to travel the world with my family. Although not exactly the kind of travel that this link-lovin\’ folks did. We all have different choices.

What I want to happen is to work part-time on my chosen profession (if possible). Think of a business that could keep me occupied and earning. If a baby comes along the way, (I want to be hands-on with child-rearing) I have a fall-back. Of course, a planned travel from time to time won\’t hurt. Anyway this won\’t be happening all at the same time. I\’m still open for other opportunities.

For all the single 20 somethings, let this links be an inspiration. I don\’t encourage to follow exactly what these people had done, because the truth is everyone of has different issues, upbringing and mind-set. At lalong di ko rin sinabing mag-resign kayo agad-agad sa mga trabaho nyo! Read and learn from the experts who have been there done that.

Ask yourselves, Hanggang dito na lang ba talaga ako? May iba pa ba akong kayang gawin?  Lagi na lang ba ganito? Bakit wala akong nararating? Bakit parang di nakakatulong ang mga taong nakapalibot sa akin? Evaluate yourself. Malaki ang mundo para mag-move on.

  • My sister KC created a new blog that serves as her catharsis for everything that is optimistic that happens in her life. She wants to steer away from ranting negativism but instead to express thanks in all the blessings that has come to her/our lives. To celebrate the beauty this life has to offer. (Ang drama ng description ha). She blogged about the places we\’ve been to (which I never had the chance to do).
  1. Dagupan and Baguio Getawayang takas na lakad.
  2. Ang Kwento ni Mang Abe – School Fieldtrip that happened eons ago.
  3. Our Zark\’s Burger Experience.
  4. The best Shawarma in Manila.
  5. A taste of  Swedish food.
  6. The popcorn that made Cha declare the happiest day of her life.
  7. The Potipot Island experience and the recommended accomodation when going there.
  8. Trekking the smallest volcano in the world.
Happy Reading!!!

XOXO

Yes, I was able to watch this movie in RPN 9 on late afternoon TV. but I can remember this was shown with color. 

4. How to convince you professor that you deserve a grade of 92. As told by sissy Cha-mu.

5. I just love how Laureen Uy mix and matches eclectic prints. And I also love it that she mixes low and high priced clothing and accessories. She looks darling and grand. I thought I\’m too old to look at fashion blogs of  young fashionistas. But appreciation of fashion has no age limits. I\’ve realized that after I stopped following her blog for sometime.

XOXO
