Random Thoughts of a Lakwatsera
I am here right now at the internet station of Lavender Lodge at 12:33AM. I didn’t bring my laptop with me this time that’s why I am happy that they’re letting their guests to use the computers for free. 
While I fixed some of my things earlier, I realized that I have a number of trips to look forward to. It’s quite funny since I made a promise to myself last April that I will try not to book more flights since I need to save up for my trip to somewhere close to my family. But I think I am really destined to travel a lot this year so there 
On our way to Mt. Kinabalu Photo By Winston
I am here right now in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia with Winston and Xef. It’s our third and last night here and I really had a blast. I can say though that I still prefer the island hopping tours in Palawan and Boracay. The whole feel of Kota Kinabalu reminds me much of Puerto Princesa. The people here are nice too. I noticed that there’s a lot of westerners here and it’s nice to actually see them roam around and explore.

SCRABBLE – Form Six Words and Express Yourself
Right after work, I went straight at home hoping that my internet connection is already fixed. Unfortunately, I found myself in a situation wherein i’d rather use a dial-up connection than use my wireless broadband. It ruined my blogging schedule for three straight nights!
Form Six Words and Express Yourself
Instead of feeling sorry for myself and declare it as an ‘unproductive’ night, I decided to edit some of the videos I took for my Project52Weeks. I admit that I have tons of backlogs but I am slowly (but surely) working on it. I was able to edit four – One is a videoke presentation with my Cebu friends (Isang Lahi FTW!), One is a Survivor-like video with Ada and Jenny during our first trip to Puerto Princesa (nananaginip lang ba tayo?!), One is an interview with the one and only Gabe Mercado where I asked him about his video blog, his showbiz commitments and the late-rockeoke (huhu) and I also have a short film which is quite serious compared to the rest of the videos I previously presented to my audience.

The SEAIR and Microtel Boracay Dream Vacation
Two years ago, I won in a writing contest spearheaded by SEAIR. I won tickets supposedly for Palawan, but then the last minute, we were given tickets for a Boracay trip. I didn’t complain because it will be my grandparents’ first time to visit Boracay and it is also my friend Maire’s dream to go there.
Going back to Boracay... Hopefully, this year!
My first SEAIR experience is a memorable one. It was my first time to ride again in a plane after 15 years and seeing my grandparents happy before we reached Caticlan airport is priceless. The whole trip was fast too! I remember Maire taking lots of pictures because it is her first airplane experience.
Have Baby, Will Blog
Were you able to read the Summit Media book Have Baby, Will Date? Or were you able to catch the TV version of the said chicklit on TV5 where Valerie Concepcion played the lead role? Well, any of the two mentioned has nothing to do with this blog entry LOL
Last Saturday, Ada and I went to Greenhills after our shoot for Tek Tok TV. We found out that Hannah’s scheduled to host a seminar somewhere in Promenade Mall and since we have nothing to do, we decided to take a sneak peak at the event.
Keep that in mind, dear parents!
We saw Carlo Ople talking in front while Sir Sonny invited us to join. I then found out that it is a Cyber Safety Campaign for Parents seminar. Obviously, we didn’t really have plans of staying since it is a seminar designed for parents. Carlo’s talk somewhat caught my attention because he was speaking about online gaming addiction when we came in. We decided to stay
The next speaker that day is Sir Sonny, who then discussed about keeping your kids safe from possible harm that can be seen online. He narrated how he gained his son’s trust and vice versa. He also emphasized on the importance of building that ‘offline’ connection with your kids. Spending time with them and being a role model to them is the most effective way of teaching a little kid. It somewhat reminded me on how I was brought up by my parents.
When I was in elementary, I am frequently seen in the library reading books and I kept on borrowing them just for the sake of having my library card filled out LOL. These days, kids rely on the internet for their research and assignments. Everything works in an instant and technology is the one to thank (or to blame?) because we can now access information in just a snap.
All throughout the talk, I was quiet at my seat. I remember Ada asking me from time to time ‘Huy, anong iniisip mo?’, ‘Oi badet bakit tahimik ka?’ ‘Inaantok ka na ‘noh?’ – Ang Kulit eh haha but well.. what was i really thinking while at my seat?
See, I am already 23 years old. In fact, I am already in the marrying age. I have a stable job and yes, i can produce a baby now LOL. A cousin of mine gave birth last Sunday and we’re at the same age so yeah, basically i am now capable of making babies. Plenty of babies!
But errr… I dunno. Am I ready to really have one? Financially, I can say I am now capable of supporting a little kid’s needs with the help of the father. Physically, I also am (with a sexy yet healthy body like mine LOL!) but Emotionally, I don’t think I am. Mentally too.
Then I thought of these scenarios:
