Call Me Xander

One of the best trip that I had happened in Cagayan De Oro. This is another unplanned trip that we had with my friends that we considered very fun and exciting. This is one of those moments when you're just talking and then out of the blue you just want to do something nerve-racking or maybe death defying stuff. So, me and my two girl friends booked a flight to Cagayan De Oro one weekend. Without any itinerary, we even don't know where to sleep or stay. All we have is our backpack and then things that we need for a 3 days 2 nights stay in Cagayan. When we arrived at the Lumbia Airport in Cagaya, the very first cab driver approached us and asked if we need a ride. We then asked Manong Driver to take us to the nearest hotel in town or maybe the best hotel he can suggest. He brought us to VIP Hotel in Cagayan De Oro which is a very nice hotel for "travellers" like us.  Just a brief background about ...

A single leaf has a heraldic symbol which means happiness. From a Biblical point of view leaf or leaves (together) varies its meaning. Like for example the oak tree leaves, it means endurance and faith. Ivy leaves means long and lasting friendship. Bay leaves, from ancient times are considered medicines against poisons, so it means healing. And because of this, I am thrilled to take pictures of a leaf/leaves. I really don't exactly know what type of plant/vine is this. But here you go!

Since I went to Manila for work last 2006, I never had the opportunity to go back home to celebrate Christmas with my family in Davao. Medyo matagal na din pala akong nawala sa lupang kinalakihan ko. After almost 7 years absence, finally I got the chance... TODAY, as in ngayon lang! Though we don't really celebrate Christmas  like before; with exchanging of gifts, Christmas carols, the house to house carolling with my friends, Santa Claus and stuff. This time its different. We just had dinner with the entire family. Well, not really the whole family, except my sister is with her husband's family. Sad thing though but we need to deal with it. Hayyy.. Kakalungkot! Anyways, today I got the chance to roam around Abreeza Mall. Its actually one of the newest mall in Davao owned by Ayala. One of the biggest in Davao as well. Its a nice place, I can actually compare it to Greenbelt in Makati. At first, there are few people who were inside the mall. Its not the same as the other m...

Hindi maganda ang pasok sa akin ang taong 2011 dahil na rin sa maraming bagay. Andyan na yung nabigo sa pag-ibig, nag resign sa trabahong pinapasukan, nawalan ng trabaho ng dalawang buwan at kung ano-ano pa. Akala ko nga eh, hindi na ako makabawi sa mga nangyayari sa buhay ko pero nagkakamali ako. Masasabi ko na ang buhay talaga ay parang sapatos. Minsan nakakaapak tayo sa putik, as in putik! Minsan naman ebak! Medyo may kabahuan din naman ang buhay natin. Alam mo yung may mga mabahong pasabog na mabibigla ka na lang at hindi mo namalayan eh lumubog ka na pala dahil sa dami ng problemang napagdaanan. Ang masaya lang nito ay natural na sa atin ang hindi pagsuko sa kahit anong pagsubok. Masaya ang buhay. E-enjoy lang natin ito. Ang taong 2011 para sa akin ay magkahalong hirap at ginhawa. Siguro talagang kaakibat na ng buhay ng tao ang hirap. Ngunit masasabi ko din naman na hindi lahat ay puro na lang hirap ang napagdaanan ko sa taong 2011. Mero...

Blue is my favorite color. When I went to Cebu I saw this very big Blue Christmas Tree at Radisson Blu Hotel, I cannot help myself but take a quick pictures of every detail of that tree. I love Christmas plus I love the color BLUE.  Blue Christmas Tree   So there! Be reminder of the reason of the season.
