that german friend...

remember that german friend i was talking about? ahhh... he was again talking about pinoys taking off their shirts in the middle of the streets showing off their big, fat tummy. that while he was in thailand and cambodia, no one ever was doing that thing AT ALL...well, he's got a point there. but he should just really leave things as it is in my country cuz he is a foreigner and he might bump on some abusayop, for sure he will be abducted!!! anyways, in fairness to him, he is really a hunk. great 6-pack abs, very athletic, and hey, he is single... my friends say he was cute before...hmmm...i think he still is...

but that is not what am up to... i just would like to say to those who are madly inlove with TWILIGHT... this german friend of mine bought for me the first three books @ $50 US only!!! all i needed was to text him to find me those books and he was more than willing to look it up for me. hahaha...see... grouchy people cannot be summed up by their burst of temper. they can be really good, too!!!
so sis,eat your heart out!!! i've got the third book ECLIPSE!!!

malatan-og falls, don salvador benedicto, negros oriental

on all saint's day, our tennis group went trekking to a nearby falls. or so it seems near. on my first month here in negros island, we travelled from cebu to bacolod and made a stop at a viewing deck of malatan-og falls. it was so spectacular, so breath taking. i never thought i would really get near this falls in the future. well then, i just did.

the terrain was so tricky that if you'd miss a single step, you'd find yourself careening on the cliff. i don't think people pass those tracks everyday for there was not a trace. one could get lost without a guide. and our guides were kids, same kids selling us peanuts and banana chips at the overview.



i was not ready nor was i geared to do that trekking. i don't think anyone of us was, but ANDRE. he was our leader for that expedition (the perfect example of 'age is just in the mind,don't let it creep down your body')... i was only wearing flipflops and in muddy tracks, i slipped and slide and it was so difficult to go down and uphill. i just remember when i was a kid, we used to just run on these kind of trails...





how to get there:by bus, jeepney, or car

travel time: 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes from bacolod city

from the viewing deck, on foot: 45 minutes (aprox)

a take @ macro

hybernating again? nope...just slightly engulfed reading john grisham's THE BROKER, another really good read which took me a month to finish while tackling a bunch of other homely stuff and making a few important decisions in life. whatever that means...

i woke up early this morning and cracked a few eggs, cooked hot dog in a special way (slit it, steam it, and pour evoo) for my three "guys". none for me, although brekky is my favorite time of loading carbs and fats...i have long dropped it in my routine. actually, i was so happy to find from a nearby store a weet-bix! the high-fiber, low-fat cereal..

then my usual fix: stare on my pc all day and i remembered to blog. it has been a month since my last post. i have so much to log that i don't know how to start.

first up: went home to visit my folks last june and reunited with the ever bubly arf. we were all so ecstatic to see him again...my bro came home for a holiday and we stayed @ chali. he had this paparazzi-like dslr which i was able to lay my hands on. we shoot a few thousand photos. amazing now how we take thousands of shots and not pay for every one of them to develop.

**then my hubby went to macau and bought me a cute red sony cybershot t300. (what a big irony to the nikkon). have a look at the photos which i all took with both cams and at first glance, tell me which was taken with a d40x and with a cybershot. i just love macros...

**then my loyal n73 is just about to die. selling it now for a few grands and i do have two buyers on the line for 150usd. because i now have a much better blogging digicam, i am eyeing for a windows mobile phone. particularly samsung i780. i do like the samsung f480(well advertised in the olympics) and definitely faster than iphone but... it's much on infotainment. no windows. i also don't like iphone cuz of it's obvious drawbacks. most iphone users are salivating for the samsung f480 and omnia now. it has a much better speed.

**then roger federer kissed his #1 world ranking which he held for 4 1/2 years goodbye. i feel so sorry for him but am just equally happy for rafa to be the new #1 now. i do wish he'll be able to hold on to his rank for as along as federer did. it will all be so exciting for the tennis world. the sport is getting so popular like football. the tennis stars were indeed a big name during the olympics. and i am still federah forevah!

** then my sis had a really good break in oz. job well done sis!!! and my big bro just changed his terrano to an fj cruiser.(well, this would sound good if you are in ph. but nope, he lives in dubai, the place where you could see feraris and porches parked side by side)...hmmm...my other big nurse bro just had a cute son sebastian...

and me? am just changing my phone. hehe...

**ahhh! our Red Roaster will be opening soon! watchout! we'll be giving away cellphones...cellophanepono!!!

**as for kookie: she didn't turn me into a granma just yet. my bad!!!
