1 day Bohol Adventure

June 20, 2009, We woke up before 6am in the morning; walked by the beach, sight seeing, and let the sun burn our skin! haha! plus of course we didn't let pass the opportunity of capturing Bohol's beach resort's pride. aww, awesome! see pictures here

After breakfast at Dumaluan Beach Resort, we head on straight to the Blood Compact site to start our Bohol tour! The view is much more amazing, really! Kuya Ronald told us that the statues were made of real bronze, kaya pala super init nung madikit kmi sa statue! After the BC Site, we went to Baclayon Church, as we kiddingly joke, 'ahh Bakla daw yon church', hehe. It's the 2nd oldest church here in the Philippines next to Intramuros. It's really incredible how much pride they took as you see how well they preserve their history! We've seen it through the Baclayon Museum, although we are not allowed to take pictures inside. And inside of the church, bawal ang naka-shorts during the mass, and bawal ang nakaspagetti or sleeveless at backless inside. Thank goodness they allow balabal.Ha-ha!

Good Read: Susi sa Pag-asenso ng Pinas

This story has been passed on emails. It happens to hit me, and realize: "tama si manong driver!" And at the end, it will give us a meaningful thought of voting wisely on the near 2010 national election.

Here's a long yet good read:

Tsuper pala ang sikreto o susi ng pagasenso ng Pinas, ang sabi ko sa aking sarili habang pababa sa jeep na aking nasakyan. Natawa ako pag naaalala ko ang sinabi ng tsuper na kausap ko lang kanina. "Para makaahon tayo sa hirap dapat nating itaas lahat ng bilihin. Itaas ang jeepney fare sa P25 kada tao. Tangalan ng tax ang mga mayayaman. Triplehen naman ang tax ng mga mahihirap", ang suhestion ng mamang drayber ng dyip na nasakyan ko.

Influenza A's influence...scary!

Swine flu (Influenza A H1N1) is starting to fright me – big time! I am not a health-conscious person (ok – not-so-health-conscious), but this outbreak really scares the hell out of me.

The world is now in phase 5 (there are 6 phases) of the WHO’s pandemic criteria – that means a global outbreak is renowned. The virus, at present has threatened and affected 66 countries, and infected more than 19,000 people, causing 117 deaths – from sunstar.com report as of June 4, 2009. Swine flu positive cases in the Philippines now reach 29.

According to what I’ve read, there is no available vaccine to protect humans from swine flu. But of course, it’s treatable to some kind of medication. So, what’s the fuss about? Nothing! Ha-ha! Nah – it just makes me into thinking that we don’t need it now – especially now, that we are in great economic crisis and uncertainty. (sa panahon ngayon, mahal magkasakit at nakakatakot mamatay dahil sa flu).
