Summer 2013: Surigao Escapade

After a loooooong stressful semester. Finally, its summer time..
My family decided to go back to Surigao for the 3rd time around but of course, among all of us.. Me and my boyfriend were the most excited since its our first time to go to Surigao to witness it's beauty with our own eyes. (Since I wasn't able to go with time last year because of school works and stuffs.)

DAY 1

We started to begin the journey to Surigao at 10:00 pm. We arrived in Surigao around 6am then have another hour travel to Enchanted Hinatuan River - One of the most magnificent bodies of water in the Philippines.

The river is 80 meters deep. There are only certain areas in the river that tourists are allowed to swim.
There were some divers from different counties who tried to explore the cave below but they stopped at 200 feet because of the overpowering of the current.

At 10:30am we decided to packed up and transfer to Tinuy-an Falls. One of the tourist spot destination in Surigao. From Enchanted River we need to travel on land 1 to 2 hours before reaching the said falls.

Tinuy-an Falls also known as  "Niagra Falls of the Philippines", which it undoubtedly deserves being the widest waterfall in the country - measuring 95 meters (311 feet) in width and in a towering 55 meters (180 feet) in height -  Tinuy-an Falls is truly a magnificent sight. 


I was busy having fun when we arrived so I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures.

Entrance Fee – Php 50.00
Cottage Small – Php 200.00
Cottage Big - Php 300.00
Life Jacket – Php 30.00 per hour
Boat- Php 100.00


After a loooooong stressful day, we checked in at 5:00 p.m in nearby inn in the city.
(wasn't able to take pictures because i'm so tired and i;m longing for a long sleep)

DAY 2

We woke up early at 3:30 am to prepare ourselves and things as we go to our next destination, "The Britania Group of Islands". We have to travel 2 to 3 hours back to San Agustin, Surigao Del Sur .

***









Britannia Group of Islands is composed of 24 islets beautifully scattered in Lianga Bay. It is located in Barangay Britannia of San Agustin, Surigao del Sur.

I'm so proud and happy to say that you are mine now

May God bless our relationship &&
I hope that nothing can break us; not even a million fights.

Review of Yurushi Japanese Restaurant




It's my first time to hear the Restaurants name as my friends suggest on where we should take our lunch. And since all of them convince me that their food is good and cheaper than any other Japanese Restaurant in the city.

It is located in the corner street of Uyanguren and Suazo St., fronting Sta.Ana National High School, this mini restaurant offers Japanese cuisine at EXTREMELY LOW PRICES! Authentic and tasty, Yurushi offers a wide range of Japanese dishes you would surely love.

☆*:.。. AMBIANCE .。.:*☆  


At Yurushi Japanese Restaurant, you can expect that its not like other elegant Japanese Restaurant in the city. When you enter the restaurant, it looks like a carinderia (local canteen). Despite being one, the place is really clean and well maintained. If you go upstairs, you'll be surprised to know that the place is air-conditioned and has an karaoke machine; 5 pesos each song that the whole gang can enjoy while eating nor waiting for your food.

After 20 to 30 minutes..



Katsudon (Left) Katsudon (Left) is a popular Japanese food, a bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet, egg, and condiments for 79.00 pesos only.

Gyudon (Right) is a Japanese dish consisting of a bowl of rice topped with beef and onion simmered in a mildly sweet sauce flavored with dashi (fish and seaweedstock), soy sauce and mirin (sweet rice wine).



Tonkatsu - s a Japanese food which consists of a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet. There are two main types, hire and rosu. It is often served with shredded cabbage.




They also offer other Japanese dishes for PHp 80.00 only. And Pinoy cuisine price ranging from PHp 35 .00to PHp 80.00 on the average for break, lunch and dinner.

This subject is so ugggghhh.. boring! :<
Don’t know what to do. Wasn’t able to buy a book that’s why I don’t feel like listening.

Mmm… I cant stop thinking about him. I like him. A lot.
He’s not my type but I like him. There’s something about him that makes me fall in love. Maybe it’s the way he talk to me, the way he joke around and do silly things or maybe its they way he smile. He makes me like him. He makes me go crazy about him.

He was all that I want in a guy. From looks? mm.. to attitude, no wonder he can easily catch a girl’s heart. He’s so mabait, gentleman and korny? OMG!! Did I just said korny? Haha. No offense but yes, he is but that what makes me like him more.

I will do everything for him to notice me. Silly me, isn’t it? I’m still pursuing him even though I know right from the start that he’s not into me.

My friend said that I should give up because he doesn’t care and maybe I’m missing on someone who does. Yeah. Maybe there’s a few guys who likes me but the problem is not with them, its within me; I want him and no one else but him.

Yeah. I’d choose him over anyone else out there.
There may be better looking people out there. They may be funnier, smarter, nicer, and even sweeter than him, but he’s the one that I want & he’s the only one that I want to call mine. I don’t want to call anyone else mine because I’ve been saving that spot for him and only him. I’d choose him over anyone else and I don’t regret waiting this long because he is definitely worth the wait.

Re-post from my old account..


Being called fat..

Posted  on: November 27, 2012
I got so pissed of yesterday.What I mean is that i don’t mind being called “fat”. But bitch, check yourself. What makes you think you can call me fat when you’re bigger than me? I didn’t say anything, he also told me that I cant do it. There’s no chance for me to be thin and i just gave him short replies. i felt so hurt, like wth is wrong with you? wow, thanks a lot. my self esteem dropped to negative 1000000000000000000000000000.

And yuh, because of that I was motivated to do exercise and lose weight. I will prove to him that I can make it, no matter what.
So today, I woke up at 5:30am and jogged for 1 hour and 30 minutes, carbo for 30 minutes and 30 sit ups. Can you imagine it? I did carbo for 30 minutes which I really hate the most. It makes me wanna die..
Along with that, I was eating really healthy the whole day. I had Fresh Watermelon Juice for breakfast.Image
and Sweet Potato for Lunch and DinnerImage
(I didn’t own this pic)
Maybe I should eat even more vegetables, vegetables and vegetables.
I also didn’t have any meat or eggs this day, but I can hear my stomach begging for a Grilled Belly Porkchop. Sorry honey, but no scholarship, no meaty goodness.

I´ve had a great day so far! Today was so gooooooood, and I hope to get the time to do all my homework, studies, social life and also WORK OUT! :)
Eat and train for the body you want, not the body you have!
