A few weeks ago a fellow blogger Dingexx shared a video and baby Jon Angelo Viado blog in plurk about a baby boy who is suffering from Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy(HIE). In order for this 2 year old baby to breath he is hooked to a mechanical ventilator 24/7. Baby Jon Angelo Viado's parents made a Breathe Hope bracelets to help them raised funds to buy for Baby Jon Angelo's own mechanical ventilator.
Along with fellow CDObloggers we purchased Breathe Hope bracelets in bulked. We also contacted friends who also wants to buy and help. For more information on the Breathe hope bracelets please do check baby Jon Angelo Viado blog.
My body ache all over today after a very adventurous and fun activity yesterday. Together with cousins; Nike and Mitch and foreign friends; Craig (my cousins husband), Krystal and Kelly from Australia we went water rafting. It was actually our first rafting experienced for the 4 of us except Krystal and Craig who are already a pro.
We booked for advance 2 course which was Php 1, 500 per head at 1st Rafting Adventure. We started our rafting from Quarry to Brgy. Mambuaya passing 13 km river stretch with 13 major rapids. I was actually scared since I don't know to swim and advance 2 is next to extreme rafting (which is the more likely for experienced paddler). It was also raining so water is wild. Good thing in our boat only me doesn't know how to swim and everyone is watching over me every time we passed wild rapids. I almost fall once and I rolled over on the other side of the boat twice.
My rafting moments...
We passed by a long wire connected to the other side of the river and our river guide yell "it's a live wire!" and all of us 4 in our boat do the "matrix action" and lie flat to avoid the wire our river guide name Allan laugh his ass of seeing all of us really believed that it is a live wire.
Passing the second rapids I lost balance and almost fall good thing Kelly was fast yelling my name and hold me. For a moment I really thought I am going to fall on the rock... scarrrrry!
Our river guide Allan really practice his piece. While we are approaching big rocks with grasses all over he was telling about different snakes going out in the rocks and sometimes jumps inside the raft. As our raft approaches the rocks Allan throw a yellow stripe rope at us and all for of us was yelling and the guys almost jump out of the raft... hahahaha
Harvey one of our raft-mates was instructed to sit infront of the boat and hold still and as we are about to approach the wild rapids he already fall inside the boat just before wild waves starting to rock our boat. All of us almost lost our balance laughing at him as we reached the wild rapids. hahahaha...
Kelly's paddle! We were instructed by our river guide to stand on the boat while approaching the rapids and that no one is going to sit down. Kelly having hard time balancing drop her paddle on the water and rolled over inside the boat and we paddled forward trying to get her paddle and fighting the wild waves. We were like somebody fall from our boat.
After water rafting we went to SM City CDO to watch movie. Since Salt already started playing we decided to wait for the next show which is an hour after. So we first had dinner and enjoyed the basketball shooting at the Worlds of fun.
I had a good time catching up with Marriane and Carmen at the Village Den. I expected to see a lot of all old faces from way back high school but sad to say only 2 arrived. But that’s okay as long as they won’t miss the Reunion Day. Yan ang importante! Anyways, we manage to finish the agenda that night the planning of our get-together. We were planning while having chikka about how we are doing now in between. It’s been 8 years past and we are excited to reconnect with former classmates who have been part in the 4 years of studying at Cagayan de Oro National High School. I really wonder how they are all doing since our class is composed of different characteristics, complex and talented people.
The reunion planning…
Together with Marriane and Carmen we plan the details of our reunion and discussed every detail and possible questions that other may ask or want to include. And here was what we have decided:
Where: Midway Beach Resort, Lasang, Divine Mercy
When: Weekend.September 18-19, 2010
Assembly time: 6:30 AM, Mcdonalds DV Soria
Departure: 7:00 AM
Tentative Reg. Fee: Php 500
During my online survey most of them likes beach so we decided Midway Beach Resort is the perfect place since meron din silang pool, group cottages for overnight stay, zipline and more activities to enjoy. A perfect place for bonding talaga!
The tentative registration fee is Php 500 pero this will change if marami ang mag confirm and meron ding magsponsor sa major expenses. I know this may seem to be big but this is also the main reason as to why sa September na ang reunion. Para na din to give others the chance to save. Pero sa hindi talaga maka-afford the whole bill just conact me ill arrange whatever you can give basta ang importante is ang presence nimo. Just help me convince others to sponsor nalang dayon. Hehehe … And please sa mga ka-afforrd share your blessings and sponsor. ;)
The When. Well, we weigh things over talaga. During the survey most people are available during weekends lang, so majority wins. Then others from far towns are going to file leave of absence just to attend this event so might as well give them much time to spend with us.
Assemble time is early because we need to travel from CDO to Initao. So we could spend much time na talaga.
To others who will not file leave of absence you can attend on Sunday activities instead.
The itinerary. Might be meron pa changes kasi Marriane and I will check the place pa. But here are the fix activities:
Saturday:
CDO Departure
Midway Beach Resort Arrival
Lunch
Catching up
Sunday:
Lasang for zipline adventure. (Or if you want naa sad Lasang Park you decide which is which.)
Devine Mercy. Might as well hapit ta diri since malabyan mani in going back CDO.
Couple issue. Ahmm.. we decided that this event will be exclusively for us GAPACUED Family because as what Marriane said “Mas nice magcatch up na dili matunga ang attention because of the babies and GF/BF”. But don’t worry guys! We will meet your GF/BF, Husband/Wife and babies on December sa Christmas Party. (Basta paningkamotan nato na madayon. Think positive!) But this September na event take it as your vacation or give yourself a break and have fun like we used too in highschool. As in reminisce ever jud!;)
So thats it! Kung naa mo comments suggestions, reaction, questions and whatsoever feel free to comment below. This is Venussmileygal reporting. hehehehe ;)
This month Ive been crazy over pizza. It started one lazy Saturday, I got hungry but I was so lazy to go out and buy something to eat. So I tried the pizza delivery service available here in Cagayan de Oro. I have several choices but I first tried Pizza de Oro. I ordered 1 box of De Oro Overload Pizza which left me craving for more because it was so delicious. I love the white sauce and the crunchy crust. And so the next day I ordered 2 boxes of De Oro Overload Pizza again. By the way, delivery is for free without any minimum purchase.
The second pizza delivery Ive tried is from Bianos Homemade Pizza. I ordered 1 medium Ham n' Pineapple and 1 regular size Hawaiian to accumulate an amount not less than Php 200 since minimum purchase of Php 200 is free delivery. If you purchase lower than that then they will charge a delivery fee of Php 30. My fave so far is the Hawaiian.
Next, pizza foodtrip with 3 friends at Big Flat Bread (BFB). We ordered the bigger size of Knickerbocker Pizza, Lasagna and a 2 liter drink cooler. You may wonder how we manage to finished it all. Well, there's what we all call "balot" or "pasalubong". lols... Supposed to be marami kaming uubos kaya bigger size inorder namin kaso iniwan kasi ng insan ko at ng boyfriend niya (LQ ang show kasi!) at hindi din dumating isa ko pang insan na naligaw saan ang BFB ( kaloko talaga!).
I was interested with the Fire Fly Toothbrush By Dr. Fresh which I just recently discover online today. My little Justine is a type of kid that easily grow tired of things which doesnt interest him so I made it a point to buy toothbrush that has cartoon characters in it so that he will look forward in brushing his teeth. We have been advised by a dentist to let him brush his teeth more often and every after he eat sweets because his teeths are mostly broken. He likes candies to much and good thing lately he stop drinking milk on feeding bottle already because dentist said it's one of the reasons why his teeths are broken also.
Learning about Fire Fly Toothbrush By Dr. Fresh will definitely help me since it has blinking handles that attracts kids. This would really make my little bogoy brushing his teeth an exciting experience since it has features that will flash brightly for every one minute brushing on lower and upper teeth respectively. It is designed for 200 uses that reminds us to replaced toothbrush more often and it also comes in variety of colors that kids able to choose whatever it is that they like; Clear, Blue, Pink, Green, Red and Yellow.
Fire Fly Toothbrush By Dr. Fresh is available exclusively at Watsons and Beauty by SM Department Stores.
Week #5 Blogversary Contest of Gandaeversomuch.com is here. And it’s another contest GESM readers look forward into joining. Ofcourse, because definitely every readers has their own fave post. This weeks contest is about "Your Favorite GESM Blog Post". Hmmmm.. Medyo nahirapan talaga ako pumili kasi I have several favorites in this blog pero good thing I manage to picked my top 3 fave post of GESM. And here it goes…
Mga Dahilan Kumbakit Single Ka Pa Rin - Nahirapan talaga ako sa paghahanap sa post na eto, nakalimutan ko kasi when to sinulat ni Orman. Anyways, fave ko to talaga kasi kuhang-kuha lahat ng mga dahilanan at wake up call na din eto sa mga single ladies/gentlemen out there like me. Hindi ko nga lang alam until now kung saan ako babagay sa 10 reasons na sinabi ni Orman but eto ang sure hindi ako #7 at ayoko then maging #10. lols Heto ang panalong ending ni Orman sa post...
Sa tutuo lang, eh ano naman kung single ka pa rin di ba? At least kung may giyera, mag-isa kang tatakbo – wala ka nang iisiping asawa’t anak na ililigtas. Kung single ka, kahit 100 pesos lang ang pera mo, makakakain ka pa rin sa Jollibee. Pero siempre kung uukol, bubukol. Kung para sayo talaga yan, darating yan. In the meantime, be happy. Masarap ang mabuhay.
Things To Celebrate About Being Single (Again!) - Fave ko to kasi when I got desperate to have a relationship this reasons would make me stop and think na being single has a lot advantages and is not that bad after all basta huwag ka nga lang magpaka single forever.
Para Ito Sa Mga Trinaydor Ng Kaibigan - Eto kasali sa top 3 fave ko kasi I know a lot of friends na pagnabasa etong blog post na eto would definitely relate into. I remember after reading this blog post I immediately shared it in my personal facebook and all other social media sites para mabasa ng mga friends ko ang mga payo ni Orman ng matulungan sila in coping up with traitors. ;)
