It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month or what we know today as the honeymoon.

In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family!). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F...U...C...K... (with the other letters in!) Fornication Under Consent of the King" on it. Now you know where that came from.

ako'y nagbabalik! yipee!

yey! im back officially! haha. pasensya na at ngayon lang nakabalik, grabe kasi ang turn of events. haha. sige na nga, i'll make kwento na. mahabahabang kwentuhan to. haha. parang diary na din.. holyweek 2009.. :P

04.06.09
pumunta kami ng nabua, hometown ni mama, one-hour drive lang siya mula sa lugar namin. graduation party kasi ng pinsan ko. kaya ayun. kainan nanaman.

04.07.09
50th birthday ng tita ko.. since andun naman lahat sa nabua ang buong family, nagdecide kami na pumunta ng legazpi.. we went to Cagsawa Ruins and Mayon Resthouse. sayang nga at di masyadong nagpakita ang Mayon Volcano, masyado kasing maulap..


sa Cagsawa Ruins kami naglunch, bumili bili na din ng mga souvenirs.. then picture picture. mahilig ako mag jumping shot kaya super talon talon ako. kaya lang mahina ang photographer ko, di nakukuha yung tamang shot. haha. gumaya na din sina tita, super nagtatalon sila. and pati na din si mama. kea lang palpak ang jumping shot ni mama. bumagsak siya sa grounds.. tsk tsk.


after picture taking, umakyat kami sa Mayon Resthouse. kea lang parang minamalas talaga at ma-fog. di nagpakita si Mayon, kaya tumambay nalang kami sa planetarium at nanood ng mga file videos ng pagsabog ng Mayon. mejo sumasakit na din ang knees ni mother so inalalayan ko siya pabalik ng van.

nakarating kami ng nabua at around 7pm.. dun nagdecide si mama na umuwi na kami ng naga kasi masakit na talaga ang knees niya. tiningnan ko naman yung knees niya at thank god wala namang fracture, parang nabinat lang ata yung bones niya, kasi naman at 46 super nag jump pa talaga siya. mejo naguilty nga ako kasi ako nagsimula ng pagtalon. pero yun. nakarating din kami samin at 8pm and dinala namin siya not sa hospital pero dun sa magaling na manghihilot kung saan nila ako dinadala nung bata pa ako. so ayun. hinilot siya and kelangan niyang irest ang kanyang paa until wala na ang maga.

04.08.09
siguro nga blessing in disguise na din yung pagkapilay ni mama kasi nga tulad ng na-ishare ko noon, ako ay isang spoiled brat. wala akong alam na housework except sa pagsaing, pagprito at paglinis ng kwarto. at since ako ang eldest at wala naman kaming maid, kelangang ako gumawa lahat ng houseworks na dati dati ginagawa ni mother ng mag-isa. haha. siguro sabi ng Diyos kelangan ko ng matuto at kamusta naman ako, 22 na, ala pang alam. haha. so ayun. buong wednesday, natuto ako maglaba, magluto and everything else. congrats sakin!


ito na din ang start ng half ng vacation, this time sa father's side naman. dumating din pala yung tito ko from ilo-ilo. pumunta kami ng lcc mall [sa May pa kasi bubuksan ang SM dito] para mag-grocery para sa swimming. kaloka, yung paglabas naming yun almost 15k ang nagastos nia! kaya naman yung pinsan kong 11 yrs old gusto na lang din maging med rep paglaki kasi mapera daw. lol.



04.09.09
pumunta ako sa st.john hospital. oops, di na-ospital si mama, pumunta lang ako dun para magbayad ng training fee dahil natanggap na ako sa training. yey! 3months and a half din ako na magtratrain dun tapos after ng training pwede nila ako iabsorb as nurse I. magsstart na ako sa 17. kala ko nga di ako matatanggap kasi during the interview nung saturday, di ko nasagutan yung nursing question.. buti nalang pinalitan nila yung question nung sinabi ko na di ko alam ang sagot. kamusta naman kasi yung question sakin, 5 rights of delegation, sana nagtanong nalang sila bout sa mga diseases or nursing care e di mas kabisado ko pa. yung isa nga what is glaucoma lang yung question. haisk. pero salamat naman at kahit papano, natanggap ako.

nung hapon, pumunta kami ni tita sa Surfer's Paradise Beach Resort para magpareserve ng room para sa swimming namin. mga 45-min ride din yun mula sa naga. then pag-uwi namin, pumunta kami sa bahay nung isa ko pang tita at dun kami nag picnic. parang resort kasi ang look ng bahay nila.


then after dinner, nag visita-altares kami. yung parang station of the cross. pero this time yung stations nakakalat sa buong downtown ng naga.


04.10.09
super laba uli ang beauty ko. maga pa din ang paa ni mother so yun.. housework. then empake para sa swimming.. nag-prusisyon din kami para sa biyernes santo.



04.11.09
all set na para sa 2-day escapade. umalis kami at around 9, nag-early lunch na din kami para tipid. lol.


first stop namin, sa Basilica Minore, kung saan andun ang Our Lady of Peñafrancia, patron saint ng Bicol.


sa katapat ng church ay ang Sto. Niño Memorial kung saan andun ang puntod ni Lola Ba, ang aking greatgrandmother. namatay siya easter sunday of 2006, kea we always visit her kapag holyweek.


tanghaling tapat, we went to CWC, yung nafeature ko dati dito. this year di lang wakeboarding ang meron sila, they have this Lago del Ray resort kung saan pwede magswim, boating, watersliding and kung anek anek pa. madaming foreigner din ang nagkalat so pati yung entrance fee naka dollars na din.


we then went back to Naga, nag halo-halo muna kami sa Chowking at super-init. haha. plugging.


nag church hopping kami after. parang visita iglesias. pumunta kami ng 'hinulid', yung dinadayo ng mga devotees dito, then Quepayo Church.


as usual, gutom nanaman kami so nagstop-over muna para kumain sa Oyster Villa.


pinick-up lang namin yung baggages namin sa bahay ni lola then diretsyo na kami sa Surfers para sa swimming.

04.12.09
swimming uli habang di pa masyadong mainit. 8am na kami umalis ng resort.. pagdating ng naga, nagbreakfast muna kami sa Biggs'.


then pagdating sa bahay ni lola super natulog kaming lahat. or i dont know, basta tulog ako hanggang 11am. haha. gumising nalang kami para mag lunch sa Tokyo-Tokyo..haha. pagod na kasi kami lahat at ayaw ng magluto. mga tamad. lol.


nung hapong yun, nagsalu-salo uli kami dun sa bahay ni lola then nung evening hinatid na namin si tito at babalik na siya ng ilo-ilo for work.

so yan. nung monday, inasikaso ko kasi yung application ko dun sa isang hospital kaya di ako nakapag-blog, kahapon naman, super nag housework ako uli. lol. so talagang ngayon lang nakabalik sa blogosphere.. aw. mejo okay na din si mama, pero rest pa din para di siya mabinat. haisk. :)

for now, ill leave you with this story..missed chance.

A massive flood hit a small town near the Mississippi River. One levy in the river had broke, causing the flooding to occur while another levy was predicted to break in the hour.

A man who owned a house along the river stood on the roof of his house as water had engulfed the rest of it. Water levels were slowly rising. A rescue boat came to save the man from his house. The boat approached and the rescuers told the man another levy was about to break and the water would move over his house, sweeping him away to his drowning death. The man told the rescuers he did not need help because he believed in God and that God would save him. Twenty minutes later, the rescuers returned, trying to help the man escape. Once again, the man waved off the rescuers saying that God would save him. Ten minutes afterwards, the rescuers returned again, saying it would be the last time they could return because the levy was about to break. They asked him one last time to get on the rescue boat. He said once again that he believes in God and God would save him from the levy should it break. A few minutes after the rescuers left, the levy broke and the rushing waters engulfed the house, carrying away the man to his drowning death.

When the man reached the Heavens, he stood at the gates to enter. He told the men at the gates that he wanted to see God. When he saw God, he asked, "What happened? I thought you were going to save me? Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "I did try to save you. I sent the boat three times."

ayan. sometimes we really tend to expect things as we want it to be, pero God has His own way in answering our prayers, and madalas His answers are sent through other people. kagaya ng sa story, he failed to realize that the salvation from God that he was looking for was already sent for him thrice. :)






wah.. need to go already, aalis na kami in a few hours eh. hehe. haiz. ill miss y'all! mwahugs! tc everyone!

summer na! swimming time.

summer na! wohoo! vacation nanaman! well, this year may time pa ako para magvacation before my training so am excited.. tho wala pa kaming destination na pinag-uusapan naging annual tradition na ata sa family namin, the whole clan sa fatherside ko na mag bakasyon.. (dito lang naman sa mga local places). its nice to get-together with your family kasi mas nagiging stronger ang bond. and thats one thing that im proud of sa family ko.

anyway, i searched for the best places in bicol, kasi i believe so na before kami lumabas ng province para magvacation, its fair lang na buong bicol muna ang iexplore namin. so, tara, come and see what bicol can offer... (para next time, di lang boracay ang maging destinations nio, madami keang magaganda dito. ahaha!)
