I admit I'm not an Ironman nor a triathlete but it doesn't mean that I won't dream of having an ultimate athletic watch.
Things I do love about Timex Ironman Run Trainer 2.0 T5K743:
First is the GPS capability. Back in 2002, was my first travel by sea. Its a 24 hour ship ride from Manila to Dumaguete City. It was my many first: travel by sea; to go to Dumaguete and; my first Visayan city to visit. While at sea , all we can see is the blue sea horizon. Imagine our delight when we see islands or fishing boats and other ships. With such an experience we always see ourselves asking "where are we?" Going back to Manila was on sea too but on a different route, we sailed from Bacolod City - we rode a bus from Dumaguete to Bacolod - to Manila and yes it was the same question "where are we?". Forward a few years and I found out the full benefits of having a GPS. We can track down where we are even in the middle of nowhere. Im not an Ironman but it realy takes to be an Ironman to battle sea travel.
The healthy features of this watch are: a heartbeat monitor and; hydration and nutrition timers. Some months ago, I went to a gym and it really pays to have a heartbeat monitor and a timer that alarms to tell me to, lets say, to stop cycling to rest and water break. This watch will sure watch my intervals of exercise and breaks.
To know more of this watch and other Timex Hero Models watch this video
I dearly do hope that this wish will come true. If you are asking what was my first want for Christmas, well its marrying my best true friend this 28th ;) who gave me a Timex watch as an anniversary present.
I started flying since February 2009. I went to Cebu City and Dumaguete City for a conference. Then the next one was Cagayan de Oro city on August 2009. From then on flying was an awesome experience.When I decided to migrate in Cagayan de Oro, AirAsia Zest was my airline of choice last July 29, 2013. It was my first for this airline. Im happy for their on-time flights and friendly service. AirAsia Zest the Right Way to Fly, budget friendly too. AirAsia & Zest’s partnership and its new brand name Air Asia Zest makes flying in style more affordable in Philippines and Asia's top destination across it network. True to their motto "Now everybody can fly" I was able to save more than 2500 pesos. I dared to compare before purchasing and booking my said flight. Ill definitely travel in the Philippines via AirAsia Zest.
AirAsia Zest's RP-C8987 from Manila to Tagbilaran 29 July 2013
AirAsia Zest flies from Manila to: Cebu, Davao, Kalibo (Boracay), Puerto Princesa, Tagbilaran, Cagayan De Oro, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Shanghai and Incheon. Now Im wishing that I can go to:

Last May 10, 2013, I joined a contest from Bo's Coffee Club's Facebook site.
The rule is simple: just share your Bo's Coffee Club experience in less than 150 words. So my sharing goes like this:
"26 Aug 2009 was the first time i went to Cagayan de Oro to meet my GF's family. the next day was our first ever formal date, after which, we strolled in LKK. after a few minutes, her father texted her and he want us to meet them in Bo's Coffee in Rosario Strip. It was my first time to go to a coffee shop. From then on, every time i visit CDO (w/c is 2x a year)I always go to that same place to reminisce my life's many first. Thank You Bo's Coffee Club for being my accomplice"
But here's the Complete Sharing/Story.
26 Aug 2009 was my first time to go to Cagayan de Oro. It was my first time to Meet her family and also my first to go to Mindanao. The next day, we post celebrated our first year anniversary as BF/GF, it was our first formal date. After dinner, we strolled at the Lim Ket Kai Mall (LKK) after a few minutes, her father texted her inviting us for coffee at the Bo's Coffee Club's Rosario Strip. I was shy and puzzled upon entering the coffee shop. It was my first time to go to such place. Flashbacks of movie scenes where customer recite their orders in a fast fluid manner. Unlike me, who is clueless of what to say. "I think its better for you to order" I said to GF. "Just order what you want" she answered. So I just read whats on the board: the coffee I always dreamed of having - Cappuccino. The clerk asked a few questions and I got the hot big mug. As for GF, she had a hot choco, as for her parents and her sister those frappes which I can't recall. Her sister took this photo for us.
After this meet-the-parents' date, we all headed home. The next day, and the next day thereafter after bringing her to work or before getting her after work, I still go to that place to reminisce my life's many first.
May 15 was the deadline and I submitted my entry few minutes before deadline. Judging was on May 20. I thought I'll never win for my entry is abit unorganized and further more, I never got an email or PM from them. But still I'm curious who won and whats their story. So I visited their Facebook page and found this:
Praise God! I won!!!
June 4, I went to Bo's Coffee Club's SM Megamall Branch to pick-up my prizes.
Thank you Bo's Coffee Club for choosing my entry. After 4+ years I finally have an Bo's Coffee Club Mug. I dreamed of having it but I dont want to buy it. I wanted it as a gift or like this winning it. Sadly the autograph of Mr. Steve Benitez washed out from the dishwashing :( but stil I have a mug! YES! as for the GC, I promised we'll use it as a double date: me & GF and her parents to thank them for inviting us on that first coffee date. If that coffee date did not happened, i'll never have this sharing and this prizes. Daghan salama pud GF's parents!
Many said to me that Sun Cellular postpaid is the "Good Choice", Fast, reliable, consistent. Three basic words that best describe Sun Cellular postpaid and to me, those words are all invitations to me.
Yes I'm not yet in postpaid but I do have a Sun Cellular Prepaid in a Sumsung Corby which I use for mobile internet. If the Prepaid counterpart is good, what more if I'll switch to postpaid.
Sun Cellular Postpaid Plan 999 will be my choice, they also have Plan 600 but for me, Plan 999 suits to my needs like: the Unli Mobile Internet and; Unli Sun Text.
For a blogger like me, mobile Internet is the best for our work specially if we are on a travel (business or leisure) or in places where wi-fi and broadband connection is not possible. In the near future I'll manage my own business and a handy Cellular service is what I need to make my management easy. And I say Sun Cellular Postpaid fits to my lifestyle and budget and its definitely a good choice.
I joined the "My Canon Story" writing contest. I posted it on their website http://www.canon.com.ph/15years/ few days before the deadline. I thought it wasn't included in the official list of entries for i havnt seen my entry in their gallery - not until now. The winner was already chosen and even though I did not won I'm still happy for its a good friend and co-blogger won. Im happy for him simply because he is so good in blogging but his camera puts him down. Now that he has a new camera, we can expect more from him.
to prevent copy-paste of entry ill be then sharing to you my entry's link, i just hope admins will not delete it :haha:
Me and my sister was invited to attend a Christmas party for bloggers organized by our favorite restaurant.
We went to Greenbelt 1 branch and had our dinner there. After the said dinner, we then proceeded to Redbox in Greenbelt 3 for our "bloggers got talent" videoke night.
It was agreed that all attendees will sing and the organizers will judge who will win the first ever "Max's Bloggers Got Talent" and bring home a trophy and a cash prize.
While we are taking rounds in the microphone, a redbox crew took our order of drinks. I ordered San Miguel's Cerveza Negra.
When our orders of drinks was served, one of our friends noticed a different kind of bottle. "how does it taste like?" she asked and my sister answered "its a bit sweet compared to pale pilsien."
On with the songs and happinings and the first round of fingerfood came in. Our organizers ordered it for us.
We sang, we laughed, we mingled until 11pm. I can say that this event was one of my favorite experience for 2012 for many simple reasons:
First, its our first Christmas party from this year and from this organizers, we did not attended last year's party for was was not yet part of their bloggers pool.
Second, its really the best drinking experience that’s above the ordinary. It was my first time to go to a videoke joint. All the food, the fun, the laughter and most specially, the friendship we glued us together for one fellowship night.
- - -
Our finger food was great tasting, not so oily, all balanced. Me and my sister only got the best pairing for we paired these with San Miguel Cerveza Negra.
Nachos
French Fries
Squid Rings
Fried Chicken
All of these food are so great tasting and all flavors are well balanced - spicy, salty, umami. But when you paired it with San Miguel Cerveza Negra it complements that flavors. Since San Miguel Cerveza Negra is a bit sweet, it completes all flavors that's why I can say "its a fiesta in our mouth and a drinking experience that’s above the ordinary".
Don't just take my words, do it so that you can experience it. San Miguel Lifestyle brews really puts "merry" into "Merry Christmas".

We always say, “Prayers can move mountains”. I belong to a Catholic community at that time but still may faith is not that hard as the others. I am not convinced that prayers can really move mountains until this came to my life.
I was taking Bachelors of Science in Computer Science in a well-known college (it was now a university). I took this course simply because one, I’m into computers since High School and two, it doesn’t have a board exam. Board exam is a task that makes me nervously coward.
My parents as a government employees, Civil Service Eligibility is a must have for them. They encouraged us – me and my two sisters – to have that exam. Again, same as the board exam, it gave me a cold shiver into my spine. I have no choice but to take it since I don’t have a government eligibility examination.
One day, I went to the main office of Civil Service Commissions. I filled up some forms and I choose to take the pen-and-paper test for Professional Eligibility. They gave me my exam permit with the date and time and location for the examination then I patiently waited for that day.
I cant recall where was the exam took place but I guess it was in public school somewhere in Project 4, Quezon City. The exam time was about seven in the morning and our home to the exam place was about two hours traveling so I need to leave the house at five in the morning.
Upon waking up, I immediately took a quick bath and dress-up. My parents was amazed why I was so early, I told them that it’s my Civil Service Exam day. Grabbing my bag with my pencils, permit. I then left the house and took the exam.
After a few months, a letter was sent to me. It formed me that I failed the exam with a grade of 60+, I really forgot. It was frustrating news. After all the hardships I took, all I got is a failing grade. I blamed President Estrada’s Impeachment Trial. Civil Service Professional Eligibility has a section for Philippine Constitution and all questions on that section was all about impeachment, which is all new to all.
On the lighter side, I took it as a “charge to experience” and “try and try until you succeed”. True enough, I found myself again applying and taking the procedures again but on my second try, something different came unexpectedly.
I woke up at 4am, boiled water for coffee. After my bath, my parents asked me where I’m going. I told them that its my Civil Exam day. Dress-up and eat a little, before I grabbed my bag to leave, my mother stopped me for they will pray over me. My heart was touched and even if my mind is telling me that any minute loss will make me late, but still my heart yielded so thus my body and spirit. I took the exam at San Francisco High School, it’s just beside SM North EDSA. I felt that this exam is easier than my first take.
After a few months, the result came thru mail. YES! I did passed with a grade of 80.7% and the passing grade is 80% so I was so thankful of that 1/7 percent. This is my highest and greatest moment of achievement I received. Receiving my Civil Service Eligibility made me realized that without faithful prayers and sacrifices we are all nothing. Thank you dear parents for teaching this virtue.
I owe it to the Lord who gave me all endurance and guided me on every step. Recalling this milestone teaches me that prayers really move mountains. Thanks to my parents who inspired me, encouraged me to achieve this goal. With out their faithful and constant prayers plus their enormous support I will be nothing. All I have to do is to yield to Christ. Truly home and family is not just the basic unit of society but it’s also the basic step towards self-development.
To my parents I offer all of my achievements to you.
PS: sorry if this entry doesn't have a picture, back then my toy camera was not loaded with film. sayang! wala tuloy akong souvenir.
Me and my eyeglasses are like Diego and backpack. I cant go out without it. I am so tempted to use contact lenses so that I can wear sunglasses on those glary sunnydays. My optometrist said that it would be uncomfortable for me to wear contact lenses because my nearsightedness and astigmatism is to high, the lenses will be thicker than normal. Thus, I'll wear eyeglasses for the rest of my life.
When I was on my 6th grade (aged 13) I always sit on the floor on the front row just copy the lectures on the board. My teachers then asked me to go back on my seat (on the last row for I was one of those tall students) since i cant see the board, i cant copy.
On my 1st year High School, The school conducted a medical exam to all of us. When the doctor asked me to read the eye chart, I really cant read it, i think i can only read the first three lines. When i got home, i shared it to my parents and then my dad asked my mom to bring us to their optometrist (parents also wears eyeglasses). and thats the beginning of my eyeglasses life.
At first, i used lenses made of glass its so fragile, i have to change so often so we used plastic lenses. the problem with plastic lenses, its easily be scratched thus I need to change eyeglasses when it become so dull from scratches.
Good thing technology now a days are so advance, quality lenses and stylish frames are now affordable. As of today, I am wearing a titanium clad frame with ultra-thin glass lenses.
My optometrist suggested that I should use titanium frames so that it will not rust nor tarnish due to my heavy sweating and the ultra thin glass lenses will make it more stylish - thus no more thick as a magnifying lens.
My co-blogger introduced me to Cubik Eyewear. Upon seeing it on their website, its truly is affordable style and quality. They have many frames and style to chose from. As for me, i will still settle for a titanium frames for the toughness i need to face the cruel environment. As I continue browsing their site, this Cubik T101 C2 captured by appetite. I just might win Cubik eyewear simply by joining the Cubik Eyewear Blogging Contest
I want the Cubik T101 C2 because its full-rimed but its weight is like rim-less. I don't like rim-less frames because the lenses are more thicker than for full-rim so that it can became sturdy. I like it because its lightweight -its barely there. The gun metal color really makes it more manly and smart good not only on casual clothes but for formal attire as well.
Cubik eyewear have both style & quality and it also conforms and follows standards by allowing only licensed opticians and ophthalmologists to order prescription eyewear and thats peace of mind for me.

Why do you want to experience and join the LANZONES FESTIVAL in Camiguin Island
"Have you been to Camiguin?"
That's the question friends ask every time I'm in Cagayan de Oro to visit my Girlfriend. "You should go there; nice place, beautiful beaches and of course! The lanzones there are so sweet" they added even before I answer "no" to their question.
Yes, I admit that I ha vent been to Camiguin. I do love too. If pictures can tell a thousand words, pictures of friends and love ones in Camiguin only tells me of one thing and that's "come here!". Going to Camiguin is always part of the plan but due to budget concerns going there is always a plan.
The Philippines is definitely a "festival" islands. Visiting or traveling in different Philippine destinations is good BUT visiting a place in time of a festival, it makes the travel more fun and exciting. It’s a great bargain. There is a festival in every month and Lanzones Festival is scheduled every last week of October. According to my friends, Lanzones or "buahan" is harvested every October thus the festival was set in October as a thanksgiving for the abundant harvest not only of buahan but of all products.
Legend says, the festival started from a couple who wished for a child from a fairy who guards a lanzones tree. When their wish was granted they became so happy and forgot give thanks to the fairy. One day, as the child was playing, an old lady approached the child and the child became ill. The parents realized their ungratefulness to the fairy and so they performed a ritual to please the fairy and to ask for the child healing. The fairy then granted the couple's wish and the child was healed. The couple asked town folks to be with them in thanksgiving and merriment and it became annual ritual thus the festival.
For what I heard of while I’m in Cagayan de Oro, the lanzones festival has: lots of sweet lanzones at a very low price, some folks even gave it away to some tourist and visitors; It also has beauty pageants, band concerts, street dancing and lots of food. The stories i gathered and heard are all inviting to experience it to be part of it. I want to be there to join the festivities to experience it for myself for the first time.
White sand, clear water beaches, hot and cold springs, seafood, piniato, hot choco from tablea with pastel on the side. um um um! stop dreaming and start saving up =))
Why do I love to experience and join the Lanzones Festival? I only have a simple reason and that is "to witness locals do their thanksgiving". All Fiestas and Festivals here in the Philippines are made to offer thanksgiving. Be it a patronal fiesta or on-season of local produce - just like the Lanzones festival. Locals have their own way of thanksgiving, be it in a dance, or in singing or offering ones harvest. I want to see how they perform their way of thanksgiving.
Furthermore, I want to join the lanzones festival by being the lensman. To capture all that I witness: the scenery, the happy faces and the fun that the festival is giving to both locals and tourist.
The Philippines is a festival islands all year round. Three (3) major festivals are celebrated for the month of October. There’s a lot of time to save and who knows we might experience MassKara Festival, Hermosa Festival and Lanzones Festival this October.

Believe it or not, im still using a monochrome (black letters in green LED) cellphone in spite of all hi tech cellphones available now a days. I guess I’m using this phone for about 4 years now and the battery becomes empty after a 20 minute call.
If you ask me why I'm still using that phone. The only answer i can give you is that I'm using my cellphone only for call and text plus alarm clock and calculator. the hi tech phones calls my interest but I’m not that fast to get it, same reason for smart phones, in spite of all features I’m still hanging on to my trusty old phone.
The scenario will eventually change. there is this "genius" phone that answers all my wants and craves in a gadget: camera?! with its 8MP camera with LED flash, WiFi?! yes it has, big memory?! yes! 512 RAM, 8Gb internal and up to 32Gb Micro SD external, GPS?! yes and it has aGPS support. These features makes me "want and wish" to have that gadget. Camera to answer the call of "capture the moments". Memory to answer the call to store all those photos and music (MP3) and make the application work. GPS so that i cant get lost in the wilderness and to map out my travels.
If you’ll say to me "a smart phone can do that" well, yes it can but this device im featuring has an extra trick on the sleeve. its not actually a trick its a "real" feature and it makes it worthy to be called "genius". Genius in the sense that it has out smarted the smart phones. I’m talking about the new "LG Optimus 2x P990".
The CPU of the LG Optimus 2x P990 is dual core and dual core simply means doing the certain task in half the time. If a smart phone can run an application in 10 seconds LG Optimus 2x P990 can run it just 5 seconds. Genius isn’t it? Just imagine if a smart phone captured a single 8MP photo, LG Optimus 2x P990 captured two photos. No more wasted moments. Starting an application, capturing photos, playing music or videos all done in half time. Running two applications at the same time is just that effortlessly, no buffering, no downtime, just pure simple pleasure and that’s genius.
My blogging and my mobile lifestyle is surely be done by LG Optimus 2x P990. My travels will be map out by its GPS. My (food) photos will be captured by its 8MP camera. To kill that boredom, MP3s will be played by its 7.1 surround sound speaker, or play or record videos with its 1080p full HD playback & recording. Update my facebook and blog with it's WiFi connectivity. I'll definitely ditch out my monochrome phone and switch to LG Optimus 2x P990.
Retail price of 27,990 PH pesos or about 690 US dollars
BUT WAIT there’s more! LG Optimus 2x P990 has a sister.
Did you experience using your cellphone's screen to light up a dark place like a flashlight? When you wake up in the middle of the night and you grab your phone and use its screen's light to illuminate your path to answer the call of nature and then said to yourself "I hope this LED light is much brighter like a flashlight.
Did you also experience covering your cellphone's screen just to see what’s on the screen in a very well lighted area like a sunny outdoors? You can’t see what’s on the screen because the glare bounces on your screen thus your screen is somehow like off. The LG Optimus Black P970 has the world's brightest screen with its 700Nits LCD display. Now you can see in the dark as well as in a well lit area.
when I was a child, grade school student to be exact, I realy hate "theme writing". Yes! that story or article writing that should have have minimum words. I admit I only have few words in my mind. so simple things comes from it and few words will flow. Every time i look at my theme writing notebook, thinking what to write, i became an impatient man to have water in the middle of a drought.
so my first reason of being a blogger is to change that attitude. now, that i am a blogger, im still an impatient man to have water in the middle of a drought but the water is more faster (than my school days) and more volume.
second reason of being a blogger is for me to connect myself to the world. having friends around the world is for me like a prestige. i use my words, my photos, my food as my universal language. that is why this blog has photos of food, destinations and respective captions.
as for the reason of rewards and freebies. well who doesnt like it. me too use my blog in joining some contest and giveaways and other stuff be it on kind or cash. for me, i see to it that my two main reasons is not compromised. I see to it that my views (in life and love) will never change just to get that stuffs.
"the social network is to facebook as PLDT myDSL modem+wi-fi is to bridging people to the world"
The first time I heard about Digital Subscriber Line commonly know as DSL gave me a great promise of speed in Internet surfing. Compared to a dial-up connection that has a maximum speed of 56Kbps, DSL now a days can have a minimum speed of 1Mbps.
All DSL providers has a plan 999 but only PLDT myDSL has these following features that makes PLDT myDSL stand-out from all of DSL providers.
After filling up the forms and giving the requirements, they will just give you the kit and its instructions. Don’t fear, its plug-and-play and plug-and-forget.
It has a modem and a wi-fi router all in one device that gives us up to 25 meters of wi-fi connection. That's surfing any where of your house or small office. If you have friends and/or family that has their own laptop or PC, you can connect them all thru the 4-port hub or via wi-fi. Even for multiple users, the speed will not be compromised. Since you can be connected anywhere of the house or office, you can remotely troubleshoot it too.
I want to be connected to the world and I want only PLDT myDSL to bridge me to you and to the rest of the world.
My life before was a chaos. Changes do always happened that prompted me to be more carefree. “bahala na si Batman”(let Batman take care of it) that’s I always say to myself and to others. I meet the deadlines hours before it will came. Sometime I got lucky; sometimes I am sorry for not delivering my part. Even though I did delivered, I’m still not fulfilled, I feel there a lot of missed spots and lapses. I not satisfied of my achievements because I cannot feel I put my heart on what I’ve done.
That’s what I want to change. Little by little, I’m a bit more organized. I do now have executive diary to write down my appointments, deadlines and plans I want achieve. I got this change thanks to the hobby of blogging. I got my own notebook to list down all themes and entries I want to write in my blog. I also even have a box to put all things, needed school supplies to keep it handy and easy to reach.
Sometimes I do things in the solitude of my small space at my room. Most of the time, ill go out to have a snack to boost my mind. If coffee can wake up my sleepyhead, treats of Goldilocks will boost my mental alertness.
If there’s one thing that cannot be change in me that would be to have and enjoy a slice or two even three of Goldilocks’ Braso de Mercedes. I always have this every time I want to celebrate for myself little achievements. If it’s a big achievement, definitely I bring home the whole cake, palabok and fresh lumpia.
My changes are yet to come, for I am a work in progress.The only constant in this world is change. Changes must now be dealt accordingly by organizing one’s points of view and way of life. Even change is constant, I wont say “bahala na si Batman” not because for sure he wont come, but I'll say "help me Lord, for I want to organize myself, my life, my future, sweetly".
I love spring rolls. i virtualy tried it all but i never used canned tuna. i always use fresh fish meats. i saved time doing this dish since canned tuna is already cooked and flaked.
for the exact recipe, pls buy the Yummy Magazine May 2010 issue. ill just share to you my version of it since not all ingredients are staple in our kitchen.
first, i drained canned tuna (i used "flakes in oil"). onion, garlic, tuna, chopped onion leaves and celery. set it aside to let it cool.
wrap it on lumpia wrappers, sealing it using slury. deep fry until brown. drain in paper towels then serve while cripy hot.
for this dish, i added a sliced hotdog (1/4 lengthwise) for more appetizing and appeling to the kids.
the next time ill do this dish, ill use "hot and spicy" tuna or the corned tuna. i wonder how it will taste if i used other flavored tuna like bicol express and adobo.
Have FUN FUN FUN in the kitchen, for a happy cook makes hearty meals :D

here's another dish from a glossy magazine. a classic chicken soup but a new one for me. while im reading the recipe, i immediately said to myself "why didn't i think of that!". a great, hearty and creamy good old sopas using potatoes instead of pasta. budget saver and time saver indeed.
for the exact recipe, pls buy the Yummy Magazine May 2010 issue. ill just share to you my version of it since not all ingredients are staple in our kitchen.
first, tenderize chicken pieces (i used chicken breast) by boiling it in water, peppercorns, half of a carrot, celery, salt and onions. skim off scums and oil while boiling. when done, strain and save the stock. shred chicken meat discarding its bones. set both aside.
then, saute garlic, onions and chopped bacon. add celery, cubed potatoes and carrots (new set of carrots; not the one used in broth). sprinkle 1 1/2 Tbsp of flour.
pour stock and bring to boil. lower the heat and simmer until veggies are done. add all purpose cream (heavy cream was used in the magazine) and the shredded chicken. mix well, season w/ salt and pepper to taste.
serve while hot w/ bread, rice or crackers.

looking at the glossy magazine page, this recipe took me. for i as a lover of tofu and mushroom this is worth cooking.
cooking this dish is so simple. even a newbie can cook this one. just be careful in oil splaters during deep frying. to prevent this i used a slotted spoon and carefully place each tofu cubes in hot oil.
for the exact recipe, pls buy the Yummy Magazine May 2010 issue. ill just share to you my version of it since not all ingredients are staple in our kitchen.
first, coat tofu cubes (about half inch in size) w/ flour, egg and breadcrumbs, fry until done. drain in paper towels. set aside.
then, saute garlic, onions and mushrooms until tender. season it with pepper, oyster sauce and soy sauce. thicken sauce w/ mixed water and cornstarch.
assembly, pour half of the mushroom sauce in a serving platter. arrange fried tofu cubes then pour the remaining sauce on top of the tofu. garnish w/ sliced leeks. serve.
