2 BEST OF 2012, A YEAR END POST

Do I have the right to publish about year-end post like other bloggers do? I understand that this blog runs underneath network of networks couple of months ago and I got only few numbers of followers and likers. As long I checked the status of this blog, it draws people around the world for some information or perhaps some of them are our beloved Filipino workers. As second’s ticks and hours counts and day’s passes by, I know I did not imprison myself in the middle of four contracted corners. I always go out. “Travelling” and “Wandering” are two different things. In my own opinion, travelling is going to anywhere which is far from your...

0 IN NOMINE MATRIS (IN THE NAME OF THE MOTHER)

Oscar Wilde says that there are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely, or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. Life is a matter of choice; no one ensures the existence after complex decisions. But one has to choose and make a life changing decision. In Nomine Matris (In the Name of the Mother), a story of a woman, a young talented woman aiming to the zenith of glory. People were helping her to reach the prominence that she was seeking for. She had her mentor, and her mother who always with her in times of ups and downs. And struggles...

0 FAITH IN HUMANITY HAS BEEN RESTORED. THANKING TAXI DRIVER FOR RETURNING THE PHONE

Have you been beaten by your fellow countrymen? Foreigners say who visited the country that the Filipino is the most hospitable people in the world. Would you believe in that? It’s more than in the Philippines isn’t it? But, do you really care publicly showing your cool gadgets knowing that you are in the Philippines? With my unusual working time schedule from 3AM to 12noon and leave the house before dawn, I don’t think I am safe. Are people naturally born good or bad? I admit I’m afraid every time I step out, particularly December sickness where most cases of snatching and theft. It’s not safe anymore. But what happened recently is...

1 FOOTMARK AT HONG KONG'S OCEAN PARK

While you enjoyed the new culture and new environment, sometimes you no longer feel that days had been passed. I couldn’t believe that the last moment has just arrived. It was our last and the fourth day of our Hong Kong tour. Therefore it was ended with a visit in Ocean Park. Before we left Manila, I was given the chance to choose either Disneyland or Ocean Park. So I chose Disneyland since we already have our own version of Ocean Park. I need to choose between the two for a reason that we were beneath of shoestring. Apparently the wheel had changed. HOW TO GET THERE: They say, early bird catches the worm so we left the guesthouse...

3 HONG KONG: NIGHT WALK IN MONGKOK

The second day of our Hong Kong tour is simply a side trip to Macau. Initially, Lantau Island and Macau would be for second and third respectively. But we lost our itinerary. So we got no choice but to create one on the spot. Although no problem since we already sorted the entire plan among the places to visit. Only differs is prior to the schedule day. I am no longer wasting my space about what happened in Macau, but I’ll surely back to this gambling city for more exploration and appreciation. But for now I will share the best prize the night after our horrific side trip. Hong Kong is merely twenty-four-seven city, and market doors...
