My First Indonesia Trip

No ulam, only krupuk. Indonesians love eating crunchy side dish. It tastes like fish cracker but less salty.

It was a great blessing to travel for the first time in Indonesia with Salyn, Bulahan and Koswardi family (my churchmates). I did not bring DSLR this time instead I only used my ever faithful Blackberry phone to take some pictures of people, places and things remarkable in this trip.

Most of the photos are taken in Bandung, a place west side of Jakarta where we visited the family of our Indonesian churchmate Kuya Deni and of course side trip to shopping outlets and enjoy their hot! hot! food offers. Bandung is known for its branded shopping outlets like Zara, Forever21, M&S and Guess. I didn't shop a lot but I took many pictures haha.

Though we only stayed for few days and saw limited places in Jakarta and in Bandung, I'd say that Indonesia is no different from Manila in terms of weather, scenery and food (except for too much chili and no pork in the menu).

If ever I'll travel again to Indonesia, my wish is to try Bali. Makasi (thank you) Lord for this Indonesia Trip!

Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa Facebook

Last Sunday I watched QTV's Ang Pinaka and couldn't help but laugh and agree with some or most of the reasons why people are 'pasaway' in FB.

The Bad Grammarian - likes to sound smart on his comments, never mind if the grammar is 'baluktot' 6. The Chronic Inviter - bombards you with every quiz, game

My First PUSO Day

I am 35, single (technically) who have been asked numerous times every February of my life this same generic and sometimes annoying question of what will I do on the 14th? Normally my answer would just be a smile but this year is different. I have an answer, we have an all-girls-sleep-over partey!!! Last Feb14 (on a Friday, Payday, Valentines), while the Metro is cursed with heavy traffic both on streets and in trains (ya! people-traffic), I stayed at home the whole day to prepare for the night. My housemates and I, invited our girl friends to have a Valentines party at home and we called it P.U.S.O. Don't ask me what the acronym mean because I keep forgetting, the S though stands for Singles. See my pang-elementary wall decor...We even have our Love wall... Anyway, the ladies started coming by 5pm. The program was simple: eat, have a game and movie marathon. We had dinner, talked, laughed and ate as much sweets as we wanted (imagine 10+ women talking and laughing...t
