Strong Earthquake Shake Philippines

Did I just experience an earthquake or was it just my head spinning because of sleepless nights? At 6:52 this morning, I felt my monitors slightly shook. I thought I only imagined what just happened but it felt so real, so I checked the internet and found out there was really a strong earthquake in Mindanao. While I was reading the report from USGS , another slight shake happened at 7:16am. We are lucky to experience only slight tremors here in Cebu City. I just hope the quake did not result to any serious damages.

Music Monday #2 - Luha by Aegis

Here's a song from one of my favorite bands here in the Philippines. Luha by Aegis Akala ko ikaw ay akin Totoo sa aking paningin Ngunit nang ikaw ay yakapin Naglalaho sa dilim Ninais kong mapalapit sa 'yo Ninais kong malaman mo Ang mga paghihirap ko Balewala lang sa 'yo Ikaw ay aking minahal Kasama ko ang Maykapal Ngunit ako pala'y naging isang hangal Naghahangad ng isang katulad mo Hindi ko na kailangan Umalis ka na sa aking harapan Damdamin ko sa `yo ngayon ay naglaho na At ito ang 'yong tandaan Ako'y masyadong nasaktan Pag-ibig at pagsuyo na kahit na sa luha Pagbabayaran mo Tingnan mo ang katotohanan Na tayo'y pare-pareho lamang May damdamin ding nasasaktan Puso mo'y nasaan Ikaw ay aking minahal Kasama ko ang Maykapal Ngunit ako pala'y naging isang hangal Naghahangad ng isang katulad mo Hindi ko na kailangan Umalis ka na sa aking harapan Damdamin ko sa `yo ngayon ay naglaho na At ito ang 'yong tandaan Ak

Obong Spring - Ice Cold Dip in Dalaguete

Image
I did not have the chance to visit Obong Spring in Dalaguete when we visited Alcoy last month. When we went back to celebrate the annual fiesta in Guiwang, I made it sure to spend time to not only visit the place but also experience the relaxing cold water. It was a low tide when we went there so the water inside the nature's pool came only from the spring. Out of curiosity, I tasted the water to see if it really is pure spring water. The water was a little bit salty. It may be because of the underground seawater. We have to cross the water to get to the cottage. The water on the other side is just knee-high and walking there is not a problem. The water was soooo cold, I wished I brought a jacket with me. I was only half-submerged but I am already trembling. I had double thoughts whether to take the plunge or not. I never thought the water could be cold as ice, hahaha! You don't have to bring ice to keep your drinks cold. You have the biggest pool of ice cold water

Ease Your Burdens

Goosebumps were all over me while I was watching a TV news report last Sunday about a tragic vehicular accident in the town of Balamban, Cebu. A J&D tourist bus plunged down into a 30-foot ravine in barangay Cansamoroy before noon last Sunday. It killed 21 people, including 20 Iranian nationals and the Filipino driver who also owns the bus; and injured 24. Police Regional Office-7 Chief Supt. Lani-O Nerez said among those injured were three Pakistanis. The injured were confined at the Cebu Doctors Hospital (CDH) except for Dr. Raminco Aleriza, a resident ophthalmologist at the Cebu Velez Hospital who was treated at Velez; and received proper medical care while the remains of the fatalities would be brought home to Iran as soon as possible. Initial investigation revealed that the bus suffered brake malfunction while maneuvering a curvy downward slope. Accidents like this do happen and nobody knows when. The event of their untimely death brings so much pain to their families. On

Can somebody help this little one put on the headset? When baby's in our room, you could always find him either pressing the keyboard, pulling the mouse, helping himself with the headset, biting the mouse pad, and the worst, unplugging and/or plugging the power cords! Oh my!!! What could a 220 volt power do to a little one?
