MALAGOS GARDEN RESORT

-
I got to tell about the Davao experience. It was my first time in Davao. From the window of the plane while landing in the runway of Davao Airport, I could see the colorful design of the window of the airport edifice. In the baggage waiting area, we were amused by some native dancers with Muslim costumes and all. Outside, while waiting for our service vehicle on our way to Malagos Garden Resort, a giant Duryan Monument was noticeable. I was hoping for a photo session at the monument but I did not have the control of the itinerary.

Malagos Garden Resort is one and half drive from the airport. I should have taken a lick before the long ride. The service vehicle dropped us near the gate of the resort for us to transfer to a shuttle going to our cottage. The resort is really professionally designed although I got a creepy feeling when I look at the woods beyond the garden. This feeling was exaggerated when I walked at night from the cottage to the gate. The restaurant in the middle of the garden was awesome. The motif was somewhat like a Singaporean accent. Its ambiance was suiting to all senses: the lights were magnified during night time creating a milky sight behind the fog; the sounds were just my taste รข€“ salsa was my favorite dance and there served us the music which made me almost on my feet to get up and to do some latin moves. Salsa is my favorite dance at the moment. Its high ceiling supported by high columns covered with white drapes with no walls creates a majestic appeal.

We got a chance to have a drinking session with the owner, caretaker and designer of the wonderful resort. She was unbelievably accommodating. Befriending and getting closer to her was so easy when we got to be tipsy and when we delivered a no-hold-barred discussion. The session ended with a compact of meeting in Manila. See you soon, Charisse.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
