Childlike Innocence

Frustrated chinita. Frustrated blogger. Frustrated singer. A poor girl who saves pennies to travel the Philippines. Loves sharing my life - including food i ate, places I've been to, restaurants i've dined, beach iv'e bummed and everything in a cup and a bowl. Addicted to chocolate, coffee, and books. Coping up to the changing world.

A remembrance to my first Covenant Orientation. Renewed my vow as an SFC, learned a lot from financial management and bringing Christ to my workplace. It was a blast sharing 1 night and a day with the SFCs. There were laughters and cries at the same time. Opening my heart fully with them was a relief and i regret it took me 2 yrs before i did it. But it wasn't too late i supposed. I am proud that i am a singles for Christ and i will forever try to be Christlike not just within the community but outside as well. Thank you loves for the beautiful day of worship and praises. Till next bonding with the Lord. :) – View on Path.

Ka Lui Restaurant

This restaurant is famous in Puerto Princesa. They are open daily during lunch (11A.M. - 2:00P.M.) and dinner (6:00P.M. onwards). It’s better to have a reservation with them because during peak seasons, there are lots of tourists dining.

  Us inside the restaurant

Sea foods are popular dishes to order in the restaurant. Grilled pusit, grilled tuna, sea weeds, shrimps are the best! Partner it with fresh fruit shake. Try as well their green mangoes with shrimp paste.

Vibrant colors of the ceiling, fesh fruits and vegetables displays at the counter made the restaurant native and traditional. That’s why tourists always choose to dine to have that filipino dining experience.

I personally recommend Ka Lui Restaurant when visiting Puerto Princesa. It was a good dining experience.

Puerto Princesa Day Tour

Favijia, Leonid and I did not rent a van to tour us around Puerto Princesa. We just asked a tricycle/pedicab driver to roam us around the city. We paid 600Php for it. (It cost us 200 per person each).I suggest a van if you are travelling as a group. Most hotels offers City Tour at 600Php per person inclusive of entrances to sites. There are lots of historical places and tourist attractions to check. Here are the lists: 1. Crocodile Farm (Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center)

With the bearcat named Ella

2. Baker's Hill

3. Mitra's Ranch

4. Puerto Princesa Cathedral

5. Plaza Cuartel

6. Butterfly Garden - Bohol's butterfly garden is much worthy to spend time and 30Php Entrance Fee. He he.

7. Iwahig Penal Colony - We didn't get the chance to visit this site. Next time tough.

8. Binuatan Creations

Puerto Princesa is a city built in a forest. It's a beautiful experience to be one with nature.

Fckin politics in Digos. Two of the most prominent names are fighting for the government position. The Cagas family - Dodo, Didi and Mark are all running for Mayor, Congresswoman and Governor respectively. Bautista on the other hand made rivalry to Mark. It's just so frustrating. Both of them set up a big screen in public showing their rivals' wrongdoings. Bautista was said to be hiring gun men to kill. Mark Cagas was said to be a drug addict. Disappointing, isn't it? If i were to vote here in Digos, i won`t vote any of them. What they're doing is like telling us how they behave in a situation when someone`s throws you a stone, you throw him a rock. Humility, respect and integrity. That`s what we need from a leader. I've never voted before. I hope i'd be able to make a difference in choosing the right person to lead our city and country. Good luck to all who strives for power. May you all be like Jesus Christ who humbled and sacrificed himself to serve us. – Read on Path.

SFC is LOVE

Last Feb. 14 2013, we went to manila for the ICON. Title for this year is OBEY & WITNESS. We have amazing speakers, their wisdom delivered us to what we truly believe - our Catholic faith. It was an unforgettable 3 days conference to experience Christ and be a witness to His miracles. The feeling during praise and worship are beyond words. Sharing to you some of my favorite quotes from Mr. Edwin Garcia: “True love isn`t `I love you until it hurts´ it`s `I love you even if it hurts´.” “Love isn`t love without sacrifices” “Even tragedy is a grace from God” I may have tantrums during the talks, but there`s one thing i realized, we can always be better with our decisions in life by always putting God first. By making Him the center of our life and by understanding that Christ is the reason why we are still existing in these crazy world. I have experienced attending the holy mass with eminence Cardinal Tagle as the mass celebrant. It was a turning point in my life when his homily strucked me. I`ve come to realized that i`ve been doing a lot of sins already. And that God is there to forgive me if i only acknowledge my wrongdoings. Now, i can truly say that I will obey God and I am his witness.

Mt. Apo Civet Coffee Farm

I and my friends had decided to go to Kapatagan last Thursday, Nov 09, 2012. It was unplanned. We went to Mt. Apo Civet coffee farm. Soft cold breeze welcomes us as we trek the inclined volcanic soil at the foot of Mt. Apo in Davao del Sur. 

The Farm is famous of their Civet Coffee or kopi luwak from the droppings of the civet cat known locally as alamid.  The coffee beans droppings from the civet cat yield a smooth aromatic chocolatey taste coffee with much less bitterness than regular coffee. It only cost P180.00. 

Inside their cafe

The farm also offers overnight stay for visitors who wants to relax. The room costs 1,500Php per night for 2 guests. 

And these were the nocturnal weasel-like animals lived.

HOW A CIVET COFFEE IS MADE?

They feed the civet cats with coffee cherries then the stomach proteolytic enzymes of these animals seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids.  The fermented civet cats droppings are then collected. After which, they are washed to remove the impurities. Finally, the dungs are then dried and the silver skin residues removed.  The low quality beans are discarded and the best ones are roasted. The finished products are then packed and sealed.  from: Gael Hilotin

I pursue my own happiness and it tripled the lost. It is sad. But i moved on now. I just wanna share to you my last photos i took using my phone.

Limampo't apat na taon

Nung October 21, 2012 (Sunday), Kami ay nagprepara ng maliit na salo-salo para sa selebrasyon ng ika limampo't apat na kaarawan ng aking pinakamamahal na mommy. 

Napasaya namin siya sa maliit na paraan. Lahat ay dumalo. Lahat ay nakisaya. Sa kaarawan ni mommy, ang tanging hiling ko lamang sa Poong Maykapal ay nawa'y biyayaan siya ng magandang pangangatawan at walang hanggang kaligayahan.

Sa lahat ng dumalo, maraming maraming salamat po.
