For the past few days there were several things in my life that change. Though the fact shows that it really change as I have a quite different life here in abroad but I just can’t resist to the change I’ve found recently. It was a change that I never expect to come and never in my nightmare it appears. At first, I was hesitant to face the truth that I was into it. I tried to deny my feelings and convert it through several things. But I can’t help myself! I keep on thinking about it.

It was actually about a life at ease you’ve found to somebody. Something like a new found friend along your journey whom you never expect that there are people like them. Friends who are accepting you as what you are despite the lapses you’ve done at first meet. Friends whose also keeping your secrets the way you wanted to. Friends whom you never expect that they are true to you. Why did I say so? ‘Cause in our world today we often meet people who are back fighters, perfectionist, tactless and judgmental. People who claim that they are clean well in fact, they’re not! And thank’s God ’cause those friends I’ve found does not posses those qualities.

First time in my whole twenty-fifth of existence just only now I’ve feel this overwhelming feelings that I’ve found from them. I never wanted this to end. I wanted to treasure it as long as I live though time will come that I’ll have my own family. I know everything happens for a reason and I guess, I meet them for reason too. Whatever the reason is or maybe I’m so glad to meet them to be part of my life’s journey.

To my new found friends specially to Da, thank you for coming into my life and accepting me as what I am. I know I did some lapses from the start but you still accept me. I hope to be part of your life, dreams and plans as we traveling along. There might be some barriers we will encounter in the coming days I hope it won’t be the reason to stop the connection we created. To my new friends, thank you for accepting me! I can never tell how much I value each of you. I know your all wondering if I am a good person. Honestly, I can never tell too if I am! But rest assures, that I’ll try to be the best person as I can. As I ever wanted to join a journey with you guys! God Speed!

But she was telling me on her email that no need to worry ’cause she wont do anything to inactivate my blog and I just have to look for another hosting provider ’cause she won’t be able to maintain my blog hosting as she was so busy in her daily life because of her two kids.

Dubai exit this weekend!

Yikes! I’ll be spending my holidays to Dubai this weekend ’cause I’m quite bored already here in Abu Dhabi. My life here sucks! Its quite boring, tiring and same old scenario which is home to work, work to home. Thanks to my friends who invites me to come and enjoy with them. I actually visited Dubai for several times already with my relatives here in Abu Dhabi. We been to The Dubai Mall where one of the best aquarium is located. Its really awesome and fantastic! Aside from that, we also been to Mercato Mall. Its one of the great structure of Mall I’ve been aside from what I’ve seen in Tokyo, Japan. Dubai has actually a lot of amazing scenery to offer you if you want to visit their place. But before you decide to visit this place you must have to be aware on their weather condition ’cause during May to September this place is pretty hot. But still awesome to visit of course! At least if you’ll decide to be here during those months you’ll definitely catch the hottest place on earth.

Actually, when I first arrive Abu Dhabi last year I was really shock on their weather condition ’cause its really hot but as time passes by I was used on it. For your information you’ll already reached Dubai from Abu Dhabi for about 2 hours by Bus and maybe 1 and half hour by personal car. So, if you got a plan to spend your Holidays in Dubai drop me a message here I’ll meet you too.

Anyway, I’m already half excited on my Dubai exit this weekend. I’ll be seeing my friends there and probably they’ll tour me around to those places I have never been yet like The Pyramids. Wish me luck everyone!

It is a unique game reserve and wildlife sanctuary of exotic African animals and endangered endemic animals of Palawan.
Established on August 31,1976 by virtue of Presidential Decree No.1578, this was initiated in response to the appeal of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature to help save African wildlife when former President Ferdinand Marcos attended the 3rd world Conference in Kenya. By virtue of RA 7611 (SEP), administrative jurisdiction of DENR was given to the local government of Palawan, effective December 31,1993. Management of the area is the responsibility of the PCSDO (Palawan Council of Sustainable Development Office). It is located in Calauit Island, Busuanga, Palawan.

Palawan Sea Kayaking

The islands scattered north of Palawan offer one of the world’s most spectacular marine environments. Towering limestone cliffs rear straight up from seas teeming with marine life, and hidden bays offer deserted beaches for camping. The coral reefs here are amongst the most extensive in the country, so be sure to bring your snorkeling gear. Many islands are also covered in jungle, the habitat of rare bird species. If you are willing to carry your boat, you can explore some of the lakes on Coron Island, home of the reclusive Tagbanua Tribe. Internationally known tour operators run regular sea kayaking tours among the islands around northern Palawan.

The Ifugao EPIC “HUDHUD”, Philippines…

The UNESCO World Heritage List has recognized the Ifugao epic “”HUDHUD,”" citing it as among the “”Masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage of the humanity.”"

the-ifugao-epic

The HUDHUD Epic is the only Southeast Asian Cultural Piece selected in the UNESCO list. This was the first time that the UNESCO gave the awards. It was the second time that UNESCO honored Ifugao, after the province’s famous rice terraces was included among UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1995.

The HUDHUD, once chanted, will go on for two to three days. The epic is chanted by Ifugao women, usually at harvest time, funeral wakes, and wedding time. There used to be many versions of the HUDHUD but the advent of Catholicism in the province has helped dilute this heritage.

The late anthropologist Fr. Francis Lambrecht, CICM brought HUDHUD to the international scene, which he claims has been sung by generations of Ifugaos since the late 17th century and still is a central part of the Ifugao life.

The social characteristic of the ancient Ifugaos as seen in the HUDHUD showed a strong matriarchal society.
