Dress Code

posted by: burn category: Tips, Travel No Comments

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

posted by: burn category: Tips, Travel 2 Comments

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?

posted by: burn category: Tips, Travel 5 Comments

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. read more »

Crash’s Birthday Bash at Crown Regency

posted by: burn category: Hotels, Personal No Comments

My hubby turns 28 this year last January 28. We spent the special night at Crown Regency. We avail their promo which is 3, 999 inclusive overnight stay, one free rides ( edge coaster or sky walking), dinner and breakfast. Isn’t great? This is very affordable. So we didn’t have any second thought of availing the said promo.

When we were at the information area asking for the type of bed that we were going to use, I am kinda upset when I heard that its a twin bed for there is no queen bed available. So we just get it and went to the room 1615. As I open the door, I was surprise for the was really cozy and luxurious place to stay with. The twin bed size looks like a queen bed. Hahaha! We will not be congested in just one bed.

Sad to note that we arrived at the area around 10:30pm as a result we didn’t avail the free dinner. So what we did, we just walk in the sky. Sky walking is the Philippine’s first sky walk extreme. This is the first adventure activity which me and crash did together as husband and wife. Isn’t fantastic?!!

As we walked, I didn’t felt any nervousness for I am not afraid of heights. I were just shaking for it was really cold in there. The view is really awesome. I do really enjoyed watching thousands of lights down from the city view up to the mountain view. What I do like it is you can see the whole Cebu City for you will have to walked in 360 degree. We ended our walk for about 15 minutes including picture taking. Me and my hubby love it so much.

After walking, we had a hungry stomach so we ate at the carenderia just beside the hotel. Then, we return and room and sleep.

In the morning, we had a sumptuous breakfast at glo cafe and lounge.

We really had a great experience at Crown Regency. I love to go back there during Valentine’s Day and try the Edge Coaster, the world’s first edge coaster. However, as I asked the promo is not applicable during special occasions and weekends. Perhaps, we will go back during my birthday bash… If God permits!

Teacher and a Mother

posted by: burn category: Revealed Sentiments 5 Comments

I knew some of my blogger friends know that I am a teacher. Being a teacher is not an easy job. Just observe a woman working in the office and a woman working as an educator. How can you spot the difference? Precisely by looking her physically. The way she dress up, act, talk and most commonly, she always bring two to three bags. Why? For it contains some papers to be checked, lesson plans, visual aids, other things needed in the class. She’s hoping that she could still work at home. I used to do this when I am still single. I have lots of time checking papers, making my visual aids, doing some research, pursuing my masters degree. But now, it was totally different for I have my own family. Having a family, changes some of my routine. I seldom bring any paper works at home for I wanted to spend the time with my baby. Having a baby is really a great challenge to all teachers. Why do I say this, for sometimes I felt guilty working hard as a teacher teaching students, talking to them almost 8 hours but I only have almost 1 to 2 hours at most being with my own child. Just recently my weekend is also loaded with activities in school, such as dance club, playground demonstration, production meeting for sayawit, production meeting for Sinulog, and group dance practice. However, no matter how busy I am. I always see to it that I could spend time with my love ones especially on Sunday. I am guilty of not acting a 100% wife and mother. In this manner, I wanted to spend time with them this coming semestral break. I wanted to be with Crash and Chloe with out thinking of any school activities and paper works. How I wish that Crash will surprise me to a Branson vacation or any places as long as we are together.

Sometimes, I even think about quitting my job so I could be a full time mom and wife but I can’t also stand staying at home for whole day without mingling and be with other people. As of now, I’m praying that God will give me time for everything, that I may be able to organize my activities without compromising my child, Chloe.

Breast feeding, is it important?

posted by: burn category: Personal, Revealed Sentiments 2 Comments

I gave an activity to my students last month about breastfeeding and bottle feeding. I let them interview their mother whether they were given a breast milk or formulated milk, how important breastfeeding and they will describe their relationship with their mother. I am surprise with their answers. Some of them were bottle feed while others were breast feed. In terms of relationship, it is really true that there is strong attachment of mother and child relationship. They were very close and how healthy they were. They were free from sickness and they achieve academically. Those students who were bottle feed reveals that they were not close to their mom, they got sick often.

I can’t imagine how will be my relationship with my baby. But I do believe no matter the baby is bottle feed or breastfeed, it will depend on how she was raised by her parents and the influence of her environment. For now, let us just cross the bridge when we get there.

Stress of Work

posted by: burn category: Personal 1 Comment

I just want to reward myself for a job well done. I wanted to pamper myself in a spa, salon and a movie treat. For the month of August, I am super stress. One of the reasons of my stress was preparing the inter- school folk dance competition, then it follows the 12th Chancellor’s cup bowling tournament where in I was assigned to design the uniform, then, passing of grades and lastly my baby was admitted last Monday due to fever,cough and lbm. What a stressful month,? Right? Consequently, dark circles in my eyes start to came up. It is very visible that I really needs some rest. What I need is to use best eye cream. This is one of the items that I need to buy as a form of reward as sude form spa, salon and movie treat.

What about you? Do you have plans to reward yourself after having stress of your work? Perhaps you can share it here.
