Summer Heat Is On!



It's been hot this past few days.
I need to stay inside an airconditioned room to cool down.
The sun is shining too bright outside.
The heat is burning my skin.
And with Only two weeks left, school year 2011-2012 is gonna be over.
Yay! That means summer vacation!!!

I can always hear noise and laughter by the swimming pool downstairs.
So everyone already feel it.
The evidence is bright and clear
As the sky is clear and blue.
There's no denying, summer is on!!!


This is My favorite time of the year
Time for my vacation
Time to go home visit my family
Time to once again enjoy the breeze and the sceneries of the countryside.
And Time to hit the beach!!!

Whoa! I'm excited!
Like i should be
Always and forever
Welcome summer!!!

A House On A Hill

, ,

I have a dream.
I had this eversince i was a child.
And it never changes all these years.
I want a house on a hill

sorrounded by different kinds of flowers.
Yes, flowers!

I just love them!
Different kinds, different colors!



This dream is actually inspired by my childhood life's experiences.
I grew up in the countryside.
There was a wide open space near our house.

Every afternoon, i would go there, lay down on the grass and gaze at the blue sky above.
I would sometimes count how many airplanes passed by.
Wonder where and how far they can go.
And wish that someday i will be able to ride in one of those.
So i too, can go to faraway places.
I sometimes stare at the moon
wishing i have magic to make a ladder appear in front of me
so i can climb up to the moon.
Cause i dreamt once that my mom was there.
Silly it may sound but maybe i was just missing my mom.
I was 9 or 10 years old that time.

8 years later those wishes came true!
I finally ride a plane went somewhere far and was able to see my mom again.
I miss that particular place where i started dreaming those things.
Now, it looks different.
It is now sorrounded by trees.

And now i wish for a house on a hill sorrounded by flowers
Where i can chase butterflies
Where i can do the things i used to do when i was a child
Where i can lie down in a wide open space and gaze at the blue sky above
or just simply watch the clouds
or go stargazing at night
I just don't like frogs and snakes around though.

Philippine Flag Day 2011



From May 28-June 12, 2011, Filipinos are encouraged to display the Philippine flag at home, school, government and private offices and other buildings in celebration of National Flag Day.

This is in accordance to section 26 of the Republic Act no. 8491 or The Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, which orders all offices and Public venues to display replicas of the flag.

This year's celebration also marks the 113th anniversary of the proclamation of Philippine Independence on June 12 when the first Philippine flag was first hoisted at Teatro Caviteno by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in 1898.

"The Philippine flag symbolizes our unity as a nation and colorful history of how our forefathers fought and died for the independence we are enjoying today. Displaying it is one of many things we can do to honor the flag but we must also practice being a good citizen and observing the law such as simple traffic rules." says, DILG Secretary Jesse Robrido.

Summer Vacation

, , ,

 
My two weeks vacation was spent entirely on the farm. I enjoyed the beauty of nature
 
 
sceneries, the greenfields
the nearby mountain and its mini forest
 
the sunrise
 
the sunsets
 
and the easy living in the countryside.
-the things i missed living in a big city.

First day
2 hours after i got off the plane,
 
it started raining. I even got soaked in the rain on the way home. So i was'nt able to go out the whole day.

2nd day
The sun finally came out!
It was sunny the whole day so i was able to wander around the nearby mountain and it's mini forest
  
I was amazed with the trees' lined up as if they were planted purposely that way.
 
Then i found some Mahogany seeds
 
and decided to collect some for my tree planting the next day when i climb up the mountain.

I encountered lots of big brown ants
and got bitten by some.
 

When i feel itchy and started scratching my arms and my legs,
 
i decided to go home.

3rd day
I asked 2 local kids to accompany me through the mountains cos i wasn't familiar of the way going up.
They gladly voluntered to be my tour guide!
They lead the way and i was following them as they climbed up with ease.
We were all sweaty and panting when we finally reached the top! Then they helped me plant those seeds i was carrying.
 
When we're done, they started to look for some spiders but found nothing so we wandered around the other side of the mountain.
Then we decided to go home.
It wasn't easy going down.
 
It was slippery and there are lots of vines on the way.
 
But they kept on running so i had to ran as well to keep up with them.
 
It was fun! I feel like i was a kid again!
I was also able to visit my school- in grade school
 
and my last day was spent on the beach with my family!
 
It was a fun,enjoyable and a very memorable vacation i had so far!

LET'S PLAY!! Unleash the gamer in you!

, ,

When i was a kid, our games were more on physical activities.
Like hide n seek, hopscotch, jumping rope, chinese garter, running, climbing trees and other local games which requires stamina and flexibility.

Now as a grown up and working, i don't have time for outdoor games and activities anymore.
My weekdays were spent at school and at home.
Then my weekends are for out-of-town trips.
But i still have time to play at home during my spare time.
The child within me remains.
I love playing games and enjoys it! wink
This is the gamer side of me.. cool

These are the games we have at home,
from card games, to board games, to video games:

MONOPOLY with a twist!

 

i guess we are all familiar of this game. Well, we have atleast 7 different kinds of Monopoly games at home.

 

MONOPOLY electronic banking-
eliminates the need for money using credit cards instead.

 

MONOPOLY CITY- gameplay retains
similar flavour but has been made significantly more complex in this version. The traditional properties are replaced by 'districts' mappaed to the previously underutilised real estate in the center of the board.

 

MONOPOLY U-BUILD- avariant of monopoly city using separate game tiles that allow for construction of custom game board configuration.

 

MONOPOLY DEAL- the most recent card game version of monopoly.
Players attempt to complete three property groups by playing property, cash, and event cards. (this is the fastest and the easiest Monopoly game ever! up )

 

MONOPOLY game on iPad

 

MONOPOLY Streets on PS3- each player take turns rolling the dice and waving their character and token around the city. Collect all the properties within the same color group and construct houses and hotels to earn even higher rent fees.

 

CHESS- the object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attact on the next move.

 

SCRABBLE- is a word game in which 2 or 4 players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on the game board marked with a 15x15 grid. The words are formed across and down in a fashion and must appear in a standard dictionary.

 

Electronic BATTLESHIP- is a guessing game played by 2 people. It is known throughout the world as a pencil and paper game and predates World War1 in this form. (this is the game i am very good at! wink i never lose yet in this game. bigsmile )

 

XBOX 360 games- i love Call of Duty and NBA games on xbox.

 

PS3 games- this is our newest and im still having a hard time using the controllers. o

 

AIRPORT MANIA HD- one of my favorite games on iPad along with FLIGHT CONTROL HD. up
