Dress Code

burn — Sun, 15 May 2011 20:41:40 +0000

We went to Siquijor last March 30 – April 2 of this year. Our itinerary on day 2 was church and beach hopping. Most of us wore short pants, sleeveless, t shirt. In other words, we were ready to be in the beach that be in the church. We got in the church, even if we do not wear proper dress. Until we arrived at the San Juan Parish Church, as we about to got in, there was a poster saying recommended “parish clothing“. So the group decided not to got in. Instead, I just took pictures outside the church, rest for awhile and we enjoyed each others company as well as the beautiful scenery of Capilay Spring Park in Siquijor.

So, it is best to separate the church and beach hopping to avoid conflict in terms of dress coding.

Ceres Bus Liner Schedule for Bacolod

burn — Sun, 15 May 2011 20:29:31 +0000

At 7:20 a.m will be my flight bound for Bacolod. This is the most expensive flight I ever purchased. I blamed myself of not booking it a head of time. I only purchased it yesterday at 7:03p.m at Skyliner Emall. I payed 3, 650 peso for the air fare.

The reason also why I didn’t booked it earlier for I decided to do it in land trip using Ceres Bus Liner. I went to their garage area near at Taboan and asked for the bus schedule.

Here is the schedule CEBU to BACOLOD

Route

Toledo via Escalante = 5:15 am / 10:15 a.m/ 3:00 p.m

Toledo via Don Salvador = 4:30 am/ 9:45 am.

Toledo Via Canlaon = 5:30 a.m

Tabuelan via Escalante = 5:00 am/ 7:30 p.m

Bato Barili via Mabinay- Kabangkalan. = 1:45 a.m/ 6:30 a.m.

You can call their office at 032- 345-86-50. Rates will depend on the route and type of bus. You will also pay 200 hundred peso for the barge fee.

As I inquire to friendly staff of Ceres Bus, They recommended to me to take Tabuelan via Escalante because I wanted to be at the Bacolod before 8 a.m. The seminar that I will be attending will start at 8:00 am. According to them, the travel time will run approximately 9 hours. I know that can be stressful and I maybe exhausted. This will be boring most especially I will be traveling alone.

I was really confused what to do. Good thing that my husband, suggested me to take the airplane. He will just provide me the meals and accommodation for the said seminar. I really thank God for giving me a very understanding and generous husband.

How to reach at Victory Liner from Domestic Airport at low cost?

burn — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:46:23 +0000

I just arrived here in Manila 7:15 in the morning. I booked my flight at Zest Air for it was cheaper compared to Cebu Pacific. Zest Air terminal was in the old Domestic Airport. I took some photos of the plane as I disembark.

I noticed there are some people who also took pictures of the plane. As I went out from the airport, I walked towards the left side of the area. I decided to took metered taxi for I know it is cheaper than yellow cab taxi. It took me about 30 minutes of waiting for I wanted to make sure that I will not be fooled by the driver. So what I did, I just observed them. Until such I took a avanza cab ( I forgot to take the body and plate number). I told the driver to dropped me off near “MRT Overpass” This is because I read a blog of maxtein.com as he gave instruction to the driver. Upon saying this to the driver, he was a bit confused. He said that there are lots of overpass of MRT. I clarified to him MRT overpass at EDSa. To cut the conversation, I told him to hid me directly to Victory Liner Bus Terminal. As I check my notebook with hand written map, I keep on asking him what road we were taking. For I thought I might be fooled around. When he said its Tramo, I was kind of confident that was the road that we are going to take. Then there are some land mark of the Aurora Blvd. Five Star Bus Terminal. After few meters it turned right. Several meters I saw Philtranco Terminal, in front of it is the Victory Liner. Then, I noticed the overpass of MRT. I said to the driver, that was supposed to be my destination. He said ” that area is Cabrera St. This is where you will stop and walk across EDSA using overpass. Then you can will reach at the Victory Liner.

Summary:

From Airport – take a taxi dropped off Cabrera St. or Philtranco Bus Terminal then use the MRT Overpass cross EDSA. – The Victor Liner Bus Terminal is Right beside the Overpass. This is ideal if you want to pay lesser using metered taxi according to maxitein, he just pay 50.00 pesos from NAIA 3 terminal to MRT overpass (Cabrera Footbridge)

In my case I took, a taxi straight to the Victory Liner Bus Terminal for I am alone and brought with me my camera. I paid 120.00 pesos for the that trip. See the difference?

Acne is one the most common skin diseases that causes pimples. I got this after three months of giving birth. It started when I taught a playground demonstration. The venue of our practice is an open area. Accumulated dust and sweat are two most common causes of my acne. December 2009, it was totally break out. My acne became worst. I consulted well known medical group hoping to ease the pain and building back my confidence. During the consultation, I learned a lot. According to the doctor, the causes of my acne maybe contributed by the following factors such as heredity, lifestyle and hormonal change. I also learned that taking Vitamin E worsen acne for it makes the skin oily which is inevitably prone of having more pimples. Other thing which I learned, is food may also contribute a lot of damage. She also recommended facial peeling, acne pills, acne aid soap, cream and exfoliating. I was really confident that all of it will be gone. But still nothing happened. I maybe also have to be blame with my action due to lack of discipline. I ate shrimp and chicken too much. As a result, taking medicine internally and putting the cream externally doesn’t help.

With these, I formulated my own way of curing my acne. Here is my simple tips on how to remove acne.

1. Discipline. Avoid food allergens especially Chicken and Shrimp.

2. Do not use product with Vitamin E

3. Wash your face using Carrot soap twice a day.

4. Use Eskinol derma clear C.

Escapade to Mama Mary of Simala 2

burn — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:51:06 +0000

In my previous post, “Escapade to Mama Mary of Simala” I mentioned about how to get there. In here is the continuation of my escapade. I hope that you will enjoy reading it.

As reached the main entrance of the Sanctuary, I was amazed by its beauty. I can’t help it but to take a pose for my souvenir. You have to walk going to left from the entrance gate. That is where the entrance going to the pilgrimage. Before you could enter the gate, there are guards who will look out for your dress. You have to be careful as to what you wear. Since the place is for prayer, meditation, petitions so you don’t need to dress to kill. Wear something comfortable. If you forgot to wear with sleeve because you opted to wear spaghetti strap since it is summer or you wear a short or blouse with long neckline, you may just buy outside the pilgrimage a sarong or scarf . People in Lindongon will love that, for that would help them in their income. As you pass the gate because you were wearing a prescribe outfit, you have to set your mind what you would like to do in there. Would you like to kiss the image of MAMA MARY? Or you would like to be covered with scarf or they called it “takyap”? or you would like simply attend the mass? There were different lines for that. If you could see a yellow cord with shoulder width wide space, that is the line to the image of MAMA MARY, if you want to kiss her and pray for her. This was the line that we had chosen. It is a long line that took just more or less one hour. Since the temperature is too high nowadays, it would be best if you bring along with you an umbrella, cap, or sarong to protect your self from heat stroke. In going to the pilgrimage there is a portion in there which is stiff. There was an inclination part. So I would suggest you better wear flip-flops, rubber shoes or anything which is flat shoes.
