LIFEHOUSE Live in Manila 2012

LIFEHOUSE is my favorite international performer/band.Their song, "You and Me" really mesmerized me the first time I heard it. Since then, I cant stop hearing their songs. I even felt like addicted to their music. It made me feel relaxed and constantly changes my mood and i so love it.

One great evening, while watching my favorite teleserye, I saw in a TVC that Lifehouse will be having a concert in Manila. Feeling so excited that moment I immediately search the internet on how and where can I buy the tickets for the concert. And then I ask my friends who can come with me but they are all filled and out of budget. Im thinking of watching it all by myself and its fine with me as long as I can see and hear them live. Luckily my brother was so kind enough to come with me even the tickets cost much.

After watching their live concert, all I can say is that I've fallen even more in love with their music and with Jason Wade's voice, very unique and really captivating. Hearing him singing live really makes my heart jumps and beat faster. I felt lucky and grateful that I've got to watched them live and I'm looking forward for their next live concert and when that happens I would not hesitate to buy the front seat. My greatest concert experience ever.

Bohol Plaza Hotel

I happened to visit Bohol Plaza Hotel and Restaurant when my friend, Cathy, got married last April 18, 2012.

We checked-in, morning of the wedding day, to one of the rooms where the preparation of the bride and other member of the entourage took place.

The ceremony was held in Baclayon Church.

After the ceremony, picture taking and all, we went back to Bohol Plaza for the reception.

the view deck on this building is really a cool place to relax, the amazing view of the city at night time is priceless

Bridesmaid's Flower Boquet

I attended a wedding in Bohol last April 18, 2012. I helped the bride-to-be, whose already stressed out for her wedding, in making the bouquet and corsage for her entourage. Since it was my first time to make a boquet, I told them that I will just try and will only make the boquet that I'm gonna use. But it turned out that I made all of the bridesmaid's bouquet. And here is the result.

Holy Week in Sorsogon

Noong nakaraang Holy Week niyaya kami ni Hasnah sa Sorsogon, bilang hindi natuloy ang higschool get together at sabik na sabik na rin sa swimming eh sumama na kami ni Ashell. Taga Juban, Sorsogon ang friend kong si Hasnah at dun kami nag-stay sa bahay nila. Hapon ang flight namen at pagdating namen sa Legazpi nagtravel pa kami ng 2 hours papuntang Juban, muntik pa kaming maiwan ng last trip na bus. Ganun pala talaga sa province ang aga aga ng last trip eh halos wala pang 6pm kami dumating dun eh. Anyway, buti na lang nakaabot kami. 


Kinabukasan, Good Friday, nagpunta kami sa bayan ng Sorsogon para magwithdraw sa ATM at inabutan kami ng tinatawag nilang "libing" kung saan nakikipaglibing daw yung mga tao sa pagkamatay ni Jesus Christ. 

At eto na naman naabutan na talaga kami ng last trip, haaay buti na lang yung mga tricycle dun kaya namang bumiyahe ng 30 minutes mula bayan ng Sorsogon hanggang Juban, yun nga lang  200 pesos ang bayad pero ok na rin kesa naman kinabukasan pa kami makauwi hehe. 


Black Saturday. Hindi daw makukumpleto ang bakasyon mo kung hindi ka lalangoy kasabay ng mga butanding at yun talaga ang exciting sa Sorsogon. 

Mahigit dalawang oras din kami nagbyahe mula Juban papuntang Donsol. Dumating kami sa Donsol ng 8am at nang kinausap namen yung organizer ng Whaleshark Adventure and Tours na si ate Ruby, sinabi nya na puno na yung first batch which is 10am ang alis at second batch na 12nn naman ang alis. Sayang hindi kami nakapag-confirm ng booking peak season pa naman, kaya ayun 3rd batch na kami na 1pm naman ang alis. Wala na kaming magagawa andun na kami kaya hinintay na lang namen. 

Dumating na ang 1pm hindi pa rin kami nakakalis, di pa daw kasi nakakabalik yung bangka na sasakyan namen. 2pm na wala pa rin, nagkaproblema daw kasi yung bangka na ayaw naman sabihin samen kung anung problema. Nakakawala ng excitement. Yung level ng excitement ko nasa level 9 na eh biglang bumaba ng level 4 haaaay, pero syempre ano pa nga bang magagawa namen andun na kami eh kaya maghintay na lang kesa naman magbackout pa kami eh ang layo rin naman ng pinanggalingan namen. Hanggang sa mag-3pm, ayun sa wakas dumating na yung bangka na sasakyan namen at umalis na kami papuntang laot. 

1200 pesos ang binayaran namen para sa 3 hours encounter with the butanding na may kasamang snacks (lemon square cheesecake at mineral water) at gadget. Habang papaalis ang bangka bumalik na yung excitement ko nag-level 9 na ulet sya. Magta-tatlong oras na nameng nililibot yung dagat, inabot na kami ng sunset pero wala pa ring nagpapakitang butanding. Hanggang sa nawala na yung excitement ko at napu-frustrate na ko. Di na ko nakatiis at tinanong ko na si manong BIO (butanding interaction officer) kung meron pa ba talagang nagpapakitang butanding ng ganong oras at ang sagot nya "madalang". Haaaay gumuho ang mundo ko at tuluyan na kong nabalot ng frustration. Tapos na ang 3 hours namen kaya kelangan na nameng bumalik na wala man lang nakitang butanding kahit anino. Ang sakit sa kalooban na nagbyahe kami ng malayo, naghintay ng matagal at nagbayad ng ganon kamahal para lang sa wala. My most frustrating trip ever. Sabi nila ganun daw talaga nature daw kasi ang butanding kaya hindi nila kontrolado kung kelan magpapakita at kung kelan hindi. Pero alam nila kung anung oras madalas at madalang magpakita sana kahit yun man lang ikino-consider nila. Sana hindi na sila nagpapaalis kung alam nila na maliit ang chance na magpakita ang butanding sa ganong oras. Pero asusual wala na rin namang mangyayari kahit ano pa ang sabihin at gawin namen dun sa pagkakataong yun inisip na lang namen na hindi pa meant to be na magkita kami ni Daniel (pinangalanan na namen yung butanding). Atleast sa susunod alam na namen.


Easter Sunday. Swimming naman, pero sa hotspring. Nagpunta naman kami sa Bulan. Papuntang Bulan jeep sinakyan namen eh uso dun yung may mga sakay sa bubong gusto namen maexperience kaya yun sa bubong kami sumakay hahaha ang saya lang.

First time kong makakita ng natural hotspring na umaagos pa talaga galing daw ng Mt. Bulusan. Nakakarelax. Nakakatanggal ng frustration hehehe.

Sana may ganitong lugar na malapit lang sa Manila para pag sobra na ang stress sa buhay pwedeng mapuntahan agad para makapag-relax.
