Slight Accident in Danao

You already know that I am so trying hard when it comes to learn on how to drive motorbike. I almost take a risk just to know how to drive. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I know how to but not that master. i can't drive alone. I need someone to assist me.Even if I'm trying hard, I will not risk my life just to drive alone. I still have fears of possible accident.

Let me tell one thing that I have experienced about driving. I was in Maasin City Forest Park together with my sister and cousins. We brought two motorcycles. Of course, on our way there, I was a passenger. When we got home, my sister decided to let me drive. He assigned my cousin to assist me. Even if I felt little bit nervous, I still agree with the idea. This was the time to test what I have learn. Then, I start driving. I just drive and drive, following the instructions of my cousin. We're on our way out to the park when suddenly the motorcycle little bit swept off. My driving formed an "S". My sister who is following us shouted to step on the foot brake. I was very rattle that I didn't catch up what she said quickly. It took few seconds when I listened to what she said. Then, I was able to step on it. we almost bump to a little mountain. Despite what happened, I still thank God since we are in the side where we just bumped unlike on the other side which is dangerous. Instead of getting afraid, my cousin just laughed at me since I was shaking and getting fainted. Whoa. I was really afraid.

With what happened, still, I'm still willing to learn on how to drive. I'm planning to practice it on SEMBREAK. Hope it will do me good. God bless!

Canigao Island Overnight: First Time 3

It was a big mistake of mine. Whoa. I left our things in our house. I couldn't believe it. I must be out of my mind. I was that excited to forget our things. 

What's with us is the clothes we wore in going there. My sister get mad at me. Of all the things that could be left, it was our things which I had forgotten. Ugh! Stupid Fe. Maybe because of my excitement. My sister didn't talk to me until we arrived there. She gave me bad look that made me guilty. Huhuhu. Thinking about it, it was so disappointing. We couldn't swim and changed clothes. Whoa. Still, we continue on our way. Upon arriving there, you could see smiles on our faces. We loved the view. We rented tent. Our cousins and friends swam after we put up the tent. Me and my sister got envy. Even if we didn't swim, we were still enjoyed. We hunted crabs. I find it more fun. It was my first time to catch crabs. All we do is laugh and laugh. No time for sadness during that night. My sister forgave me though. :) We're like kids there. We're acting like one.

We slept late at midnight. We never noticed the time since we enjoyed chatting each other. I was taking care by all because they were afraid of collapsed incident in little baguio to happen again. hahaha. Me, Ate and one of our cousin slept inside the tent while the three rest outside. When the sun risen, they swam again. They treasure the moment we were there. It's like once in a lifetime. Hehe. Before we left the place, we took pictures, jump shot! :)

I really really really enjoyed it. Hope it will happen again but with our parents with us. God bless!!!

Canigao Island Overnight: First Time 2

The day had come. The day that we were planning to go there. I could say that we are not that bad children since we asked permission. We did. :) What made them say  YES was our aunt (our uncle's wife) was also there for a family reunion. So, we are permitted to go there. Yeheyyyyyyyyy!!!

Overnight? Ohh yeah... I was so excited. I was in our house that time when my sister came home and told me the news about the activity we were going to do. Upon hearing it, I couldn't believe. I was actually asking her many times about it to ensure if I heard it right. and yes, I heard it right. I was excited preparing our things for it. I volunteered to pack up our clothes needed there. I was singing while packing up our clothes. It was mixed emotions of mine. All I know was I was happy and EXCITED. :p All our cousins will go there except the two little. Hehehe. We gathered at our Grandfather's house. When we were intact. Ready to go. What made me excited was not just I would experience overnight for the first time but because also of the people who would be with me there. It's our first time to bond in a beach, overnight, without parents, only us. When we were on our way to the Canigao Island, I had noticed that we were lack of things. And yes, we were lack, it was our bags. All my things and my sister's things were there. :(

What happened next? Do we got home to get our things? What was the reaction of my sister when she knew it? Did she get mad? Just read my next entry to know...

Canigao Island Overnight: FirstTime 1

From the very first time I went to Canigao Island, I wished I could stay there overnight but the chance didn't make it. Also, my parents wouldn't allow me to be there overnight. I can do nothing but follow them. Hearing and knowing the experiences of my friends there, I got envy.

It's been years I've been longing to experience an overnight activity in a beach especially Canigao Island since it's known to the most of us. It's a good spot for an overnight activity. I never thought I could experience it right away. What I thought was I could do it but only after few years from now. I never thought it would happen this vacation. Since My cousin and his friends came here for a vacation, we wanted to bring them to a good places which is visited by the most of us. One of this is Canigao Island. We never planned to go there for an overnight. What we planned is just go there and see the view of the beach. When we asked permission from our aunts and parents, they didn't allow us to go there. They were worried. With that, we were so disappointed.  My cousin and his friends, also us, really wanted to go there. So, we planned to go there without asking permission. Our decision was fixed...

Wanna know the happenings? Are you curious if we asked permission? Did we enjoy? Find it out in my next entry...

My Vacation

I can say that my vacation is not that interesting compared to those who went out of town just to spend their leisure there. Mind is just simple. I was just in Maasin, spending time with the persons I love. Although, I had short time of vacation since I had a summer classes. Still, I used that short time to get enjoyed.

During the short time of my vacation, I had few first time experiences. One of this,I was able to run a motorcycle with a long distance from the city proper to our house. But, of course, with assistance since I was not that master. Hehehe. Another is, like what I said, I collapsed. Scary but I just consider as an experience. That was indeed an experience. Also,I had many activities during this vacation before I got sick. I went to Bontoc to visit my friends. My vacation is more on bonding with cousins.I will never get tired getting bond with them. And the highlight of my vacation is when we went to Canigao Island for an overnight with cousins, friends and sister. That was my first time. Actually, that was all our first time to be there overnight. And I must say, it was a great experience ever for this year. Hehehehe.

I must say, I had a simple vacation yet enjoyable like what others had. Wish it would happen again, except the collapsed portion. God Bless!!!

Reunited with My Friends

One reason why I wanted to go home were my friends. While in Manila, I missed those times when I was with them, the things we did when we were together, the good and bad memories we've shared. When I was still in Manila, I was planning of surprising them (“mommy” Ritchiele and Yhing). I keep on telling that I'm not sure when would I come home. They always asked me to go home because they already missed me as they said. I planned that on the day I arrived home, I'll make a surprise meeting with them but it didn't happen because I didn't feel well. I was suffering from cough, cold and sore throat. Huhuhu! That's why I didn't make it to meet with them. While resting at our house, I just send them text messages as if I'm still in Manila. Hahaha! I rested for two days and when I felt better, I went to the city proper where Yhing lives in. Perfect timing that “mommy” Ritchiele was also there. On my way to their house, I was very excited and couldn't wait to surprise them. When I got there, hahaha, there were happy but not really surprised. I hugged them both. It made me wonder why they were not surprised. So, I asked them. It never came into my mind, as a matter of fact, it was my aunt who told them when I'll be home since they met her two weeks before I went home. How funny! I thought I'm the one who made up a story in order to surprise them, but it was reverse, they pretended to believe me while in fact they did know everything. It was ridiculous. All those times I told them that I'm not sure when I'd be home, they already knew. I couldn't believe. I was amazed. Big laugh to myself again! All those times I'm pretending, my friends were the real one who were pretending.


I didn't have something to give to them; instead, I just treat them for a drink. On that afternoon, we went to the grocery store to buy junk food and D'bar (alcohol). I felt a bit shy to buy that stuff, so it was Yhing who brought it. After we bought, we gathered at Yhing's sister's house together with our other 3 friends and have the drinking session there. Honestly, it was not my first time to drink alcohol but not that much as of that time. My parents didn't know about it. They were blind by the truth. I drank more than my limits. My friends were worried for I still have to go home since my father was waiting for me. They gave me more water to drink. And while we were on our way to home at night, I was so drunk that I shouted crazy things to my friends asking them to punch my face and so on. They were a little bit mad at me because I didn't listen to them to stop shouting, to think that we were in the streets with many people. They felt embarrassed because of me, because of the way I acted when drunk. What a stupidity of me! I didn't know what I was doing that time. I was sooooo drunk. When we arrived at my father, I was pretending to be alright. And good, my father never noticed that I was drunk. I did a great job. Hehehe. I really forget things I've done during that night. I didn't know what the hell I was doing that time. I was shy. It was not good for a girl like me. It was unpleasant to see and hear. I hated it. It was just my friends who told me all those things. I regret that I got drunk. Hearing those things I've done during that time, I felt small to myself. I felt I lost my dignity. Because of that, I promised to myself not to drink alcohol anymore even one sip. I'll try my best to save myself from embarrassment. And I realized that it's not good for a girl to drink too much alcohol! God bless!

Praktis ug Motor

Cebuano: Nahinumduman pa naho nga Hulyo 31, 2010,  ako nakamao ug bike. Sukad ane, kada Sabado, kanunay nako mu-ensayo ane pero pagkalabay ug usa ka buwan, naundang ko ug praktis kay gikapoy naman ko. Sige man lang ko huwam ug bike sa akong ig-agaw kay wala man ko bike. Nag-ensayo ko dili lang tungod kay nasuya ko sa uban nga katigo kung dili, nag-ansayo ko tungod kay ganahan ko makatigo ug motor. Hanga ko sa mga tawong katigo ug motor labina ang mga muapil ug mga motorcross. Ganahan gayud ko mu-tan-aw ug mga kompetisyon sa motorcross. Sa kamatuoran, kahinumdom pa ako nga niadtong Hunyo 27, 2010, ako uban akong mga tiya, ig-agaw, ug tiyo, mitan-aw kami ug motorcrosssa Dongon, Maasin City. Kadto ang unang higayon nga nakakita ko ug ingato kay sa telebisyon raman ko kanunay makatan-aw. Aho lang gebaliwala ang kainit sa sinag sa adlaw ug ang abog kay baylo pod ane nga pag-antos ang pagkakita naho sa akong idolo nga si Kenneth San Andres. Tungod ane, na-agne koug maajo para mag-ensayo ug motor. Dugay na gayud ako gustong mag-ensayo galing lamang kay wala makalugar ug tudlo naho. Mao ng niadtong Domingo, Disyembre 5, 2010, geingnan ko sa akong tiyo nga magpraktis kami ug motor, misugot gayud ako dayon. Sagul-sagol akong gibati atong panahuna. Gekulbaan ko nga nalipay ug mura kaihion tungod sa kahinam-hinam kay sa pagkadugay nga panahon ko maghuwat ane nga higayon, miabot na gayud. Makapraktis na ako ug motor. Didto kami nag-ensayo sa oval, activity area sa Danao(Maasin City Forest Park). Sa unang libot, misakay akong tiyo naho para mag.guide. Pagka-ikaduha, ako nalang ang nagmaneho libut-libot sa dakong oval. Samtang nagmaneho ako, dili naho malikayan ang mu-ngisi tungod kay nalipay ko kay katigo na ako mupadagan sa motor nga ako rang usa. Primira, segunda, trisera ug kuarta; kini ang mga gear nga kinahanglang sanayon. Ako, trisera pa akong naantiguhan. Dugay pa nga ensayo naho ako makatigo ug unsaon pag-tayming ug utro sa gear. Bisan pa man, nalipay gihapon ko kay sa kadugay nga higayon, nakamaneho na ako ug motor. Nanakit man ako lawas sa akong pag-ensayo pero ako lang kining gebalewala. Kalipay lang akong nabati. Hantod karun dili pa ako kalimot. Unta makatigo na ako sa mga angay pa nahong makat-unan sa pagpraktis ug motor. God bless you!

English: I can still remember the time when I learned normal bike. It was on July 31 of this year. Starting that day, every Saturday, I always practiced it, but after a month I stopped since I got tired. I always borrowed the bike from my cousin because I don't own a bike myself. I practiced not only because I envied those who know how to use it, but also because I wanted one day to ride an even bigger bike: a motorbike. I idolized those who knows how to drive motorbike, especially those who joined motorcross. I really like to watch motorcross competition. In fact, I remember when I, together with my aunts, cousins and uncles, went to Dongon, Maasin City just to watch motorcross. It was my first time to watch it live since I usually see it on television. I didn't mind the heat from the sun rays and the dust, because I could see my idol: the motor bike champion Kenneth San Andres. Because of this, I aspired to practice motorbike for a long time, but my uncle, who has a motorbike, never had time. But last sunday, on Dec. 5, my uncle told me that we were going to practice motorbike and I agreed immediately. My feelings were mixed during that time. I was nervous and happy at the same time and I felt like I need to go to CR because of the excitement, because after a long time of waiting, at last, it came. I could practice it. We practiced at the oval activity area of Danao (Maasin City Forest Park). For the first round, my uncle was riding to guide me on how to drive. For the second round in the oval, I drove alone. While I was driving, I smiled because I was happy since I could run it alone. Primira, segunda, trisera, and kuarta; these are the four gears I had to learn. I only know trisera. It really takes more time to learn all this. With only that, I'm still happy since I was able to drive a motorbike. I got body pain but I didn't mind it. I feel very happy. Until now, I can't forget it! Hope I will learn or master it soon. God bless you!

Pangenhas

Cebuano: Pagpangenhas o pagpanguha ug suwake, dapaw-dapaw ug uban pang kinhason, mao kini ang kalingawan nga among buhaton uban sa akong mga amiga kada adto nako sa dakbayan sa Maasin. Pero dili kini namu kanunay buhaton, panagsa lang. Buhaton lang ni namo kung hunas ang dagat o kung naa pa kami oras o gusto namong mukaon ngadto sa baybayon. Usahay magsabot mi nga mangenhas, usahay pod dili. Sa mga panahon nga dili mi magkasabot o mukalit lang kami ug hisgot nga mangenhas, Manghuwam ra ko ug suotan ngadto ni Yhing para makatamak ko sa dagat kay ug dili ko manghuwam, muoli ko sa amo nga basa. Usahay, mangadto mi sa baybayon uban sa pamilya sa isa sa akong amiga, magdala kami ug kan-on, suka nga pinakurat ug imnunon para adto lang namo kaunon among mga kinuha. Sa wala pa ko makatilaw, naglibog ko ug mutilaw ba ko o dli pero sa dihang natilawan na naho, ako na kining geisip nga usa sa mga paborito nahong pagkaon. Dili man ko kamao mukuha, sige lang ko ug sunod-sunod nila para ako ang tegdala sa ilang mga kinuha. Mao na ang akong matabang ngadto nila. bisan kapoy, makalingaw man pod. kung muingon sila nga mangenhas, sugot dayon ko. Hehehe. Dili gyud naho makalimtan ang unang pagpangenhas. Kini nahetabo niadtong Hunyo 26, 2010. Kung dili tungod nila Yhing ug Mommy Ritchile, siguro hangtod karon wala pa ko kasuway ug pagpangenhas. Kung dili tungod nila, wala pa siguro ko katilaw sa kalami sa suwake ug dapaw-dapaw. Dako gyud nakong pasalamat ngadto kanila. Ang Ginoo kanunay manalangin kaninyo. Amping!

English: Pagpangenhas or getting sea urchins and other sea shells is one of the activity I often did together with my friends when I go to Maasin City. We can do it only when it is low tide. We do it when we have time or when we want to eat at the seashore. Sometimes, we plan to do it, and sometimes it just comes to our mind without plan. In those cases, I just borrow clothes from Yhing so I can step into the sea because if I don't borrow, I will go home with wet clothes. Sometimes, we go together with the family of my friend to the seashore and bring cooked rice, vinegar called pinakurat and softdrinks so we will eat there. When I did not know it yet, I was worried whether it tastes good or not. But now I'm thinking of it to be one of my favorite foods. Since I don't know how to get those stuffs, I'm just at their back, following them to bring all they have got. That's the least I could do. Even though it was tiring, it was always enjoyable. Everytime they told me to Mangenhas, I agreed right away. I can't forget the first time I experience pangenhas. It was on June 26, 2010. Yhing and Ritchiele forced me to do it. If not because of them, I had never tasted sea urchin's deliciousness. I owe it to them. I really thank my friends! Take care!

Galeon Andalucia

Pila ka oras usa mag-alas kwatro sa hapon, sa adlaw nga Domingo, Oktubre 31, naa motorcab sige ug libut-libot sa dakbayan sa Maasin ug naa sige pahibalo nga naa muabot nga barko gikan sa Espanya. Niadtong orasa, didto ako uban sa akong duha ka amiga sa reclaimation area para mangenhas. Nanguha kami ug suwake, dapaw-dapaw, ug uban pang kinhason. Amo lang gibaliwala ang maong pahibalo kay nalingaw naman kami sa among ginabuhat.

Pag-abot sa oras, taknang alas kwatro sa hapon, diha kami nakita-an nga dako nga barko. Nabag-uhan kami kay lahi raman kini sa mga barkong kanunay namong makit=an sa pantan. Kadto pa ang unang higayon nga nakakita kami ug ingatong klase nga barko. Para namu, kinaraan kini nga stilo sa barko. Sa pantalan, makita nimo ang daghang tawo nga nag-atang sa pag-abot sa barko. Gitabo pa kini ug kusog ug maanindot nga tugtog sa dram ug trumpeta. Kung imong tan-awon ang pantalan, mura gayud ug naa pyesta. Sa among pagkahibulong, nangutana gayud kami sa mga tawo ug unsay naa anang barkuha nga gitabo man ug sama ato ka-garbo. "Barko na ni Magellan". Mao kana ang tubag sa tawo kanamo. Sa pagkadungog sa tubag sa tawo, namangha gayud kami kay dili ikalimod nga si Magellan parti na sa historya sa Pilipinas. Siya ang usa sa mga lider sa mga espanyol nga nag-sakop sa atong nasud daghang tuig na ang milabay. Giingon nga ang kadtong barko, ge-alisadan na ang mga materyales. Buot pasabot, ge-renobet na kini pero wala kuhaa ang mga gamit sa sulod, mga gamit sa panahon nila Magellan. Ug kining barko abli para sa tanan. Pwede musod ang mga tawo sa barko sulod sa oras nga 10am-2pm ug 4pm-7pm. Kini kutob sa adlaw nga Sabado, Nobyembre 6. Ako ug akong duha ka amiga( Yhing ug Mommy Ritchiele) nagkasinabot na mu-tan-aw sa barko. Wala mi miadto pagka-Nobyembre 1 ug 2 kay adlaw man kini sa mga minatay. Mao ng Nobyembre 3 among gikasabutang adlaw. Sa wala pa kami miabot sa pantalan, nakita namu ang daghang tawo maong wala nalang kami nanglahos. Nagdesisyon kami nga sa Nobyembre na kami mangadto. Nabalitaan pa namu nga naay mga tawong gikan pa gayud sa lagyong dapit sama sa Hilongos,Leyte, Babay, Leyte, Ormoc, Leyte, Samar ug uban pa. Miari lang gayud sila para makakita sa Barko ni Magellan. Sa miabot na ang adlaw nga among gikasabutan, eksayted na gayud kami. Abi namu gamay nalang ang mga tawo pero sayup kami. Nag-antos lang mi sa kaguot para makalinya lamang kami. Sa kadugay sa among pag-linya, nakasud na gayud kami. Didto, nakita namu ang geingon nilang kanyon. Nakita sab namu ngato ang mga plaka nga gisabit sa bung-bong. Naa sab mga navy nga nagbantay sa barko ug mga taga-laing nasud nga maoy nagmaneho sa barko paingon sa lain-laing lugar sa kalibutan.Nalingaw gayud kami sa pagtan-aw sa barko.

Dili gayud namu makalimtan ang gesulti sa usa sa mga nagdala sa barko samtang padulong na kami panaog. "Adios gwapas bonitas". Mao kini ang iyang geingon. Getubag lang kini namu ug kataw. Hahaha. Katawa dili tungod kay naglibog kami sa buot pasabot kung dili, mikatawa kami kay geingnan kami nga mga gwapa ug kini tinuod. Hehehehe. Bon Voyage Galeon Andalucia!




Biking ...

Have you experienced smiling alone whenever you think about one thing that already happened? Just like me, I did it many times! Let me share to you one of the reasons of my smiles. Hmmmp... I know what you are thinking but sorry, you're wrong ... it's not about love. For you to know it, let's start...

July 31, 2010, Saturday at 4:51 in the afternoon, I considered this day as one of those unforgettable and memorable days I've ever had for my entire life. I won't ever forget this because it is the day that the thing I dreamed to learned since my childhood, at the same time afraid to try, came true. Wanna know what it is?

Since my childhood, I dreamed to have a bicycle and to learn how to ride it but the chance never let me. Just a normal bike! I am not talking about motorbikes; sure, riding a motorbike would be even better, but I am talking here just about those bikes where you really have to move your feet to get it going. Seeing others on bike made me envious. Sometimes, I just imagined myself doing such a thing. Actually, there were times when my friends offered to teach me how to ride it but I refused since I was afraid. It's not the injury that I was afraid of. There was something worrying on my mind if I try it. I can't point what it was but maybe it was my mother who might be mad at me if I did it, or I was just afraid of other's tease.

Until the time came, that I had the will and determination to practice it. Maybe, I was just encouraged by my cousin seeing him riding it and doing some basic exhibitions. So, I borrowed his bike. And you know what, I was sick that time suffering from fever and LBM but still I practiced biking. At first, I found it difficult. My cousin assisted me but he suddenly stopped. He was irritated about my complaints for him pushing me too fast. With this, I tried on my own and to my own surprise, I suddenly knew it, I know how to handle it even if there's still rough moves but at least I can drive it without any assistance. Yahooooooo!

I was so very happy that time. I can't really believe it. Before, I thought I need weeks or months to master it but now it took only less than an hour for me to learn. On the next day, I was suffering from muscle ache for three days but it was fine with me because the payment for that pain is my achievement; an achievement that will last. Pains are worth it. It's silly to say this but it's true. Now, thinking about it, smile never fades from my face. I just laugh at myself thinking of those years I've wasted, because in just a day or an hour, to be exact, my dream came true. Now, I always go to my aunt's house every Saturday just to borrow their bicycle.

I know you will just laugh at it but what can I do, it's the truth. And I'm proud to say that I made it after a long time of waiting. I'm so proud of myself!
