Oh shoot! A meme!

Posted by alohapenny on Thursday, June 19th, 2008 @ 11:36 pm in Personal - International.

Fisheye2. White. Nuff said.

Wait, you're wondering where the meme is? Its a few lines down below. See what I did with the title? (Oh shoot! Get it? No? Fine.) Anyway, I got my hands on this baby the other night (met up with Jennie) but I was busy so I couldn't write an entry right away. Heh. That's also why this meme is late (I was tagged by Helga last Sunday)

1. What was I doing 10 years ago? Being stressed and pressured because all my elementary classmates were no longer at the same section as I was. At the same time we moved houses so all my childhood friends (some [American ones] went back to the States) and memories faded away. Also, mourning for the loss of vendomachines with lots of chocolates and candies around my neighborhood (not exactly my neighborhood). Come to think of it, I was emo before I even knew it. Oh! I was also busy playing the guitar (or at least learning how to) and exchanging Hanson posters. (What?)

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today? Since my day is about to end, I plan to go home, take pictures with my Fisheye2 and finish the whole roll of film, sleep, wake up, go to the nearest Konica express and get it processed. Since it takes them an hour and a half to scan the transfer the pictures to a cd, I will walk around the mall and check out some beachwear because we are going to the beach this weekend for a company outing. No Im not excited because we are going to Subic, where I live. Meh.

//Edit: I just got myself into a drinkfest so I wont be able to sleep just yet.

3. Snacks I enjoy: Nachos, Doritos, Lays, Ruffles and salsa. Oreo cookies dunked in peanut butter. Cheese, on tuna. Cheese on crackers or alone, cubed. Uhm... Is rice a snack? Cus I love eating kaaaaanniiiinnn!!!

4. Places I’ve lived: Olongapo City, (Subic) Zambales | Acacia, Malabon City | Sampaloc, Manila | WoW Cubao, Quezon City

5. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire: I wouldn't be here now. Im prolly busy taking pictures of the pyrmids in Egypt, I will waste it on trips all over the world. Buy A LOT OF SHOES. Waste it on film and digital cameras. Manage a business. Oh and also donate occassionally to charity. Lulz.

6. People I want to know more about: Hmmm....I don't really know.

I’m Off to Boracay… I’ll be Back in a Jiffy!!!

Posted by "Travel blogging? Is that thing still around?" on Thursday, June 19th, 2008 @ 12:42 pm in Personal - Philippines.

This week is a very busy week here at the office so I'm looking forward for the weekend because I'll be in the most famous beach here in the Philippines... Boracay. I have been to this island for about 7x already but I still don't get tired observing the countless developments this little island endure for the past few decades. Even if there are issues whether the small island can sustain the various activities brought about by the boom in the tourism industry in the area no one can really stop the transformation of Boracay into a capitalist haven.

I love Boracay the most when I first saw its somewhat virgin beauty in the summer of 1996 when there is hardly a crowd even during the Holy Week holidays. Too bad I can't post pictures here of my Boracay sojourn in 1996 as the digital camera then is never heard of yet. I hope I can transfer some of my travel pictures taken using a film camera into a digital format so I can post them here in my blog.

So much for being sentimental about the "old" Boracay which I love more than the Boracay of today... I have to live with what that paradise island can still offer and I'm pretty sure that I will still enjoy my experience.

P.S.: I just hope that the f#ck%ng typhoon named Frank don't spoil our vacation. I pray that the prediction of PAGASA will be highly accurate and expect the typhoon to be not in direct threat to the Visayas region.
