Weekend Getaway: Tagaytay's Sky Ranch

August 9 is a Holiday, which means 'long weekend' for us!

Since we're on a tight budget, we only settled in to a nearby town, Tagaytay City! and LJ's hospitality saves us an accommodation expense, thank you! =)

We spent the day at Sky Ranch Theme park @ Php50 entrance fee. The park wasn't fully developed yet and most of the rides are designed for kids, so we just took a ride at the country's tallest Ferris Wheel @ Php200 overlooking Taal Lake and sipped some flavorful Buko Shake!

 
 
 

Hungry bellies and tired feet took us at Bulalo Point Restaurant. We ordered, well, fatty Bulalo!, and inihaw na bangus, and ensaladang talong. Fresh Buko for drinks.


We walked along the busy street down to the market to look for Rowena's Bakeshop for yummy tarts, a good choice for dessert and pasalubong! =)

Back at LJ's home, I made some nachos for midnight snacks that goes with tanduay ice. Went sleep fully loaded! Such a pig! =D

What I learn today: Why?

WHY? Why do we keep on asking "why?" when one struggles or die? Why does it have to happen to me? to him? Why so tragic? Why so painful? Why?

Tell me, how do you want to live your life? How do you want to die? Think about it. 

Cancer let you do things you need and want to do while your body slowly dies. But the pain is just tremendous to bear and you have to endure it until the end of your time. 

Or how about getting killed instantly after an accident, would you rather prefer it? It would be painless but you would also lose that one chance to do the things you want to do or at least say you want to say before you pass away.. 

Or, for a any reason, you will opt to be selfish and coward, and attempt suicide instead? Torturing yourself until you're breathless leaving nothing but mystery (you have the option to leave an honest open letter of hatred and bitterness beside your dead body). You just want to end it. Period!

Imagine you were granted a choice, can you tell how you want to live and die? Can you really make up your mind?

Try to weigh in your options and you'll get exhausted. I got exhausted! that at the end of the day, I just told myself "Oh dear life, you know what? Surprise me!"

In a matter of time, the bottomline is, we 'Die'. No matter how we protect ourselves.. life will end. So, why not just tell yourself, "Thy will be done" and leave your worries to God? Only Him knows what's best for us.

Never ask Why but perhaps ask "What?".
What's the purpose of life and death. What is your purpose?

I also believe that if there's a purpose of living, there is a purpose of dying. Sometimes, somebody has to die to let someone live. 

Moreover, when one has to go, let him wholeheartedly. Say a prayer and be happy for his soul to be at peace.

Random thoughts: Movies in 2 nights

June 26, 2013
Four Sisters and a Wedding
Citywalk Eastwood Cinema 4

Thank you Star Cinema for another Quality Filipino (family) Movie featuring some of the best actors of my generation - Toni Gonzaga (Tedi), Bea Alonzo (Bobie), Angel Locsin (Alex), Shaina Magdayao (Gabby), and Enchong Dee (CJ). I got carried-away during the confrontation part. I could somehow relate to the cast's characters having sisters and brother myself. More movies like this! ;)

World War Z
Gateway Mall Cinema 9

My friends had no idea about the movie and I didn't had any idea about them not  watching this kind of movie as well! Sorry guys, my Bad. ;D

I was pretty entertained looking at them slouching at their seats, hiding under their jackets and peeking carefully with half-open eyes! So frightened, they almost hit me. They hate me for making them watch Brad Pitt's zombie movie! I just hope they could sleep well tonight. Hehe... 

People who likes 'The Walking Dead' would definitely like this one. Hey Rick, you've got to find Gerry now!!!

The taxi driver (Melberte UVR637) is a nice man. He took us (from Cubao) and dropped us off to our destination without complaining or asking for an additional tip. That's quality service! If all cab drivers are as nice as him, it would be great!

Hmmm... Monsters University... Next?! ;)

Random thoughts: Heat's 3rd Championship!

June 21, 2013
Friday (Philippine time)
Game 7, Finals

I was never a Lebron James fan but always been a Heat fan since Dwyane Wade was drafted by Miami in 2003.

2012-2013 Season is their best run and might be their best Finals ever! It was very exciting, full of thrill and tense, and I had so much fun exchanging friendly rants with Spurs fans most especially with the "haters"! 😜 

LBJ earned my respect but I am still a Wade fan. He may be hurting and not 100% but I commend his courageous effort in playing hard to help his team win despite his injuries. 3 for No. 3!!!


Now that the season was over and the Miami Heat together with the King, the Flash, Super Mario, the Birdman, Mr Pure Shooter, Coach Spo and the rest of the team has proven their Greatness and Mightiness, the haters continues to hate while the heat fans celebrate!

Thank you San Antonio Spurs for a spectacular championship series, hats-off to you tough guys.

We look forward to a three-peat and a start of a new dynasty! Let's Go Heat!!!
