Enchanted Kingdom - A FEAR OF RIDE TO CONQUER

Turf: bed
Dash: writing

John 3:30

He must increase, but I must

decrease

The last time my sister and her family who reside in Canada for 11 years finally got a chance to spend their very short vacation for 3 weeks here in the Philippines. We make the most out of it in that short span of time. In the day of their departure going back to Canada my 2 nieces want to try the rides in Enchanted Kingdom (a famous amusement park in the Philippines) so I bring them and bought the ride-all-you-can-ticket.

They only ride which they think is best for them and since I forgot I'm the "alalay" that I also bought the ride-all-you-can-ticket too in which the money got into waste because I only got a chance into 2 rides (Anchors Away & Grand Carousel).

Here we are in the Enchanted Kingdom - Welcome!

Start to roam around and look for the best ride to start with

Our first stop is the "Anchors Away" it seems the ride is not pretty height scary, but whoosh my intestine almost got out while screaming...

 

Long cue of people who are waiting for their chance to get their mind blow away with this "Anchors Away" ride

Our 2nd stop is "Space Shuttle" ride my nieces they don't want an easy-simple ride, they want the death defying rides 

As I watch them being up there, I ask myself why I didn't give it a try so my fear of height would conquer, but somehow I'm thinking what if I couldn't bear being up there what would happen then? After a few seconds of rational thinking I came up with a conclusion that I'm still afraid to try it though and better leave them enjoy that risky ride. So, I just enjoy myself watching them and taking pictures while hearing those scary screams that gives me even more weird feelings as I imagining myself being there too.

This gives me some light as I've had my 2nd ride the "Grand Carousel"

And even my niece had some fun...

And this is the one I couldn't ever ride in my life the "EKStreme Tower Ride"

This particular ride is bringing you up to the extreme height and then suddenly bring you down with a splash.

And she's up there before I bought her a special ticket for this one ride I ask her so many times if she really wants to ride this one and she answered me boldly with a "YES" because she wants to conquer her fear of heights and she indeed made it as she went down she said it's nothing at all.

I give them an impromptu shot as we walk on their 4th rides the "Rio Grande Rapids"

Getting a one shot photo before they went to their 3rd rides

I want to capture more photos of them I didn't see them for 11years since they left for Canada for I want to cherish more from them

Their happy cute tired faces

 Again another long queue of people waiting in line at "Rio Grande Rapids"

This is their only 4th and last ride then even though they wanted more

Because we need to go back at once time is ticking fast as we need to reach at the condo before their flights, things happen when you least expected it. The traffic jam is so heavy as we receive ending phone calls from mom and my sister shouting at the end of the line telling me to bring my nieces back because the time is almost running out, but what should I do I don't have the power to empty the road and drive fast as I can. But then, thank GOD that we reach the condo at the nick of time that my nieces has to rush down everything to pack their things. 

It's a very tiring day but fulfilling and another memoir has been curve as I wave my hand on the glass wall saying see you all again soon.

SHOUTING OUT LOUD TO FS

Turf: couch

Dash: searching

Revelation 1:15
His feet were like fine brass, as if
refined in a furnace, and His
voice as the sound of many
waters.

Looking out at Oman hotel

I knew some of my previous post is hardly innate feelings, because I love expressing myself whenever I wanted to let it out what's inside of me. So, I decided to add some lights in my post like to share some travel photos I had which I all posted in my Friendster account since it was my first community account before FB exploded in its climax. I keep all my treasured photos in FS but didn’t receive nor, heard anything that FS will delete all the files of their FS members and change it to gruesome game forum site (Sigh. Disappointed….) I admit that from the moment I had an FB account and enjoyed using it, I do seldom visited my FS account but then every time I open my FS everything is all intact and I haven’t smell anything fishy will happen in the site. But since then I had a gut feeling of pulling out all my treasured photos in FS, but didn’t know how because there are no download options not even have a right click save options. Well, that’s enough of my ranting all I wanted now was to get back all my photos especially those travel photos I had in places like Kish-Iran, Oman, Dubai, Al-Ain and all other photos of my friends in Dubai.

Today I felt disappointed, searching, and thinking how to retrieve all of those photos in FS.

Does anybody know how?

Are you an IPAD freak?

Turf: living room

Dash: eating

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you.

IPAD 2 24ct The History Edition is out and ready to amaze you and I’m so mum when I read an article about this shared by an FB friend in my wall. Wow, couldn’t believe it that part of it has made of Dinosaur bone, diamonds, etc., it’s an epic isn’t? But what can make your eyes wide open is the price – well, it only cost $5 million dollars, are you surprised? Me too, so here's the complete article and video to make you more drool, enjoy! 

By ANI
London, Nov 2 (ANI): Customized iPad 2, worth 5 million pounds, is covered with dinosaur bones, gold and diamonds and surprisingly the gadget has also found a customer.
The iPad 2's Gold History edition, developed by luxury goods maker Stuart Hughes, is apparently the most expensive gadget, which can be bought.

Not only is it covered with two kilos of 24-carat gold and 12.5 carats of diamonds, but also the precious stone round the bezel is mixed with crushed-up shavings from a fossilised T-Rex.

If you flip the gadget, the Apple logo is made out of 52 separate, individually set rocks.
Oddly, these pale into insignificance next to the front half - made from 750g Canadian Ammolite, the oldest rock in the world at 75 million years, the Daily Mail reported.

Fifty-seven grams of a fossilised Tyrannosaur thigh were shaved into the stone.
The limited edition just has two pieces for sale and one has already been sold to an undisclosed customer. (ANI)

John 10:15

I lay down My life for the sheep.

It’s been a quiet time for me lately, though I had quite a few photos to share with you during my fun time in Dubai (I just feel a bit indolent to blog), some photos taken are not quite a good shot or I should not talk about the quality of it but the precious moments captured in it.

Since we still early for the show, I decided to have a photo with Duffy Duck my favorite Disney Character, Does Duffy telling that way is there?

And also with my favorite movie Character "Casper" the friendly ghost...and Casper is giving a hand he is indeed a "friendly ghost"




This is what I'm going to watch!

 While waiting for the show to begin, we had this moment...need to wear a hood to avoid water splash (we're sitting in front)

While killing the time

I got the ticket

and the show begin...

The seagull is showing some tricks

The dancing seagull...hahaha so sweet!

Since I need to save the battery of my mobile, I only took the last bow of the dolphins

The show has ended and everybody has a good time...

It was December then when we had these photo, it was so memorable for me it’s a gift from Tito J. I watched the Dolphin Show along with my friend S and Tito J. It was quite a fun since I love dolphins & seagull they are so adorable and intelligent to do some tricks to entertain us all. (I captured so many but couldn't post it all, so I just pick which I feel best for me)

Thank you for your time wasting here. Have a nice day everyone! :)

TOP 5 ROUND THE CLOCK THINGS I DID THIS PAST WEEK:

Turf:  room

Dash: editing photos

Deutoronomy 6:6-7

These words which I command

you . . . you shall teach them

diligently to your children.

I’m not posting anything lately on this page just because 5 things eating up my precious time randomly.

• I’m busy accompanying my mom in her usual business matters, and end up feeding me until I’m bloated.

mami - it's chinese gourmet (egg, noodles, vegetables, etc.,)

one of my favorite - lumpiang sariwa (fresh lumpia - a wrapped vegetable w/ peanut toppings, garlic sauce)

*another version of lumpia - (fried lumpia - a wrapped vegetable w/ spicy vinegar for dippings) can't wait to bite before I took a picture

*one of the common meal (spaghetti & chicken w/ gravy for dipings)

• I’m busy following the match of Rafael Nadal by watching it via live streaming so it’s a must not to miss any single match of it since the timing in Japan is only 1hr ahead in my country.  So, I don’t have any hard moments waking up early morning like his match in US, Europe and other non-Asian country. Today is a big moment not to miss it’s a Final match of Rafael Nadal. Vs.  Andy Murray it’s been a first time for Rafa to defend a hard court title. Earlier today I cross my finger and wish more power and good luck on today’s match only 10mins left for the big day. I’m so bias, sorry for that.

This is one of Rafael Nadal interview after the match against Mardy Fish

• My favorite Asian singer Charice is busy promoting her 2^nd album in Japan which is called Infinity, so am too busy to on all the news and updates about it and busy watching all the video posted on YouTube on her free concert which is held in Japan last October 5, 2011.

 and this is a free concert video of Charice at Shinjuku, Japan promoting her new album "infinity" all the songs she sang includes in her new album.

• Everybody has its own game mania, and I’m one of them. Yes, I am. Self-admit addicted to The Sims Social in FB, and also with Baking Life.

• Last, but not the least so busy searching and googling the best skins for my blog page I had to admit I’m still on the verge of changing a new layout, but still not find the perfect one (if there is one). I’m sort of kinda picky.  My likes are always simple, readable and neat. The one I have is neat and simple but not so readable.

EDITING BLOG IN THE MIDDLE OF A BIG STORM (PEDRING)

Turf: nothing else matter
Dash: thinking

Romans 12:2

Be transformed by the renewing

of your mind.

I have been editing this blog for almost 3 days now since my last blogskin that I used. It's hard and tiring because you need to re-organize everything, but I'm still lucky enough that I had basecodes to use that had been credited on this blogsite.

Though I find lots of good blogskins, cute, simple, extra-ordinary but then my heart is in mediocre of using it some are using very small fonts that even I can hardly read my blog post which is my main priority to be clean and readable. I don't know how others might find it, when unsatisfactory is creeping you. I hope, this blogskin that I've been using now will last for long.

--------------

Philippines specifically Manila and other provinces are hit by the storm name Pedring, most of Manila section has been damaged many trees has fallen, other areas are flooded and no electricity. 

photos taken from: google images

I'm thanking GOD that in our area is not flooding, nor experiencing any power failure the internet is pretty much working good too. So, I thank GOD for this stormy day and I prayed for those who suffered because of this storm that they will be all safe. 

Sleepy and tired.

Have a nice day for everyone. :)

For Further Thought

What are some areas you struggle with in your heart?

Ask God to renew your mind that it might think like His.

It's a late post at around 3:11am (I'm supposed to be in deep slumber at this moment). Anyway, I change my blogskin since I didn't read the rules of the owner that he/she doesn't allow to use her blogskin as a basecodes, so the moment I read that I decided to remove and change the blogskins, even though it takes me a day to edit and add all the necessary things for the bskins. Sigh.

I don't want you to get confused about my blogsite appearance but then I need to do it. But since I'm still not satisfied with its outcome, I am not sure how long I'm going to hold on to this blogskin maybe a day or a few days. Lol. Let's see. It's time to sign off.

Tired. Sleepy. See yeah again later.

Ps.
Thanks for dropping by at my blog site and in my tagboard. So nice to hear from you. :)

FRUITS LOVER

Turf: in bed
Dash: in front of lappy

Deutoronomy 6:6-7

These words which I command

you . . . you shall teach them

diligently to your children.

I love eating fruits and of one of those I love to binge on is Rambutan, while I'm eating it right now I got curious of its essential vitamins I'll get from it so I tried to google it and voila got to find this wonderful information and I'm so happy to know that it isn't only contains vitamins but it also has a minerals, etc., that are good for the body. To further your knowledge about the good benefits of this fruit I got quoted this information from Livestrong.com.

photo taken from: google images

Calories

A 100 g serving of rambutan fruit -- approximately 3.6 oz. -- contains 84 calories. If you follow a 2,000 calorie diet, this accounts for 4.2 percent of the calories you may consume daily.

Macronutrients

Rambutan is a very low-fat fruit variety, containing 0.1 g per serving. You will also get a small amount of protein in a portion of rambutan -- 0.7 to 0.9 g.

Vitamins

Incorporating a serving of rambutan fruit into your diet gives you a big boost in vitamin C. Each 100-g portion contains approximately 40 percent of the daily recommended intake of this vitamin. You will also get about 1 percent of the daily-recommended intake of niacin, also known as vitamin B3.

Minerals

One serving of rambutan serves as a good iron supply, providing 13.8 to 31.2 percent of the amount you need each day. The iron in your diet promotes the right level of oxygen in your body, which can help prevent the fatigue and dizziness that come with anemia, a condition occurring from low iron. In a serving of rambutan, you will also get 4.3 percent of the daily recommended intake of phosphorus. Phosphorus helps filter out waste in the kidneys and is necessary for the growth, maintenance, and repair of all tissues and cells. Rambutan also contains a trace amount of calcium; calcium and phosphorus work in tandem to strengthen your bones and teeth.

Benefits

Aside from nutritional benefits, rambutan may have medicinal uses. The Online Culinary School website reports that eating this fruit may help kill intestinal parasites, and it may also aid in lessening symptoms of diarrhea. Malaysian healers also use parts of the rambutan to treat fevers.

Thanks to livestrong.com for this wonderful information it's an added knowledge for me about the fruits that I really love to eat, and for this whole loves to eat this fruits' too.

Last week mom and I went again to Ayala, Makati just to do important matters and so mom ask me to stroll in the mall while waiting for her to finish her business matters, sometimes strolling is not a good idea for me because I can’t control myself not to buy anything so I fall again in my own trap of addiction. So, I end up going home with this popular “Angry Bird” headset it costly a bit, but I had no choice but buy it I need a replacement for my Philips SHM6103  headset (that I’ve been abusing for more than a year now. LOL) it’s kinda worn out so I need a new one, since "Angry Bird" is a bit cheaper than Philips, but still my Philips was still the best than my “Angry Bird” headset compared to quality. "AB" is only popular for its cuteness. (AB - ratings: **). 

*note: don't have the photo for the first accessories didn't take a shot of it since I'm using it already.

Thank God for this new accessories that I had. :)

LUSCIOUS CRAVINGS

Turf: outside
Dash: out with mom

Luke 13:30

There are last who will be first,

and there are first who will be

last.

So, it's one of the usual day when my mom used to thug-me-along wherever she goes to, of course, it wasn't easy for mom to pull me out of the chair for there are still some dilly-dally on my parts before I get off my butt out of my lappy. Actually, it is one way of my mom to get distracted me for being so glued on my lappy my mom used to tell me "to take a walk and have some fresh air, staying in front of the laptop doesn't do good to you" which I admittedly accept the fact that she is definitely right. Anyway, this is not all about my post today.

One of the good thing I love going out with my mom is she never lets my stomach-cramps-to-death-of-hungriness rather she filled me up in the sense that I almost get bloated in fullness. Though, we usually ate in her few favorite fast food like Chowking, KFC, Jollibee etc., but today is different from the usual ff that we used to visit rather mom brought me to Red Ribbon (they also serve others meals besides their famous cake). Mom ordered for Palabok and Black Forest Cake (seems so enticingly delicious), one of the crew came and told me BFC wasn't available there is only one left on the shelves, so instead he offered as White Forest Cake (seems delicious too). So, I have told my mom to take the WFC since its a way new to my ear (I mean a new cake flavor from RR), don't crucify me if it isn't new at all, cause I'm being away in the Philippines for 5yrs and I haven't any single idea what's in and out. Enough of my wallowing.

But the soonest the cake arrived on white-platter mom told me right away to take it, I don't need ask for the reason "why" for I know by heart she loves chocolates very much, not-as-much as I like it. I want to refuse it either for I'm not a fun of cherries and white chocolate at all (for I'm a certified dark-chocolate-lovers), the sweet-tooth thing is not my cup of tea and specially when I saw the cherry-filling its like an ugh.... But there are no other choice but to take it and my gourmet taste doesn't failed me again. Its like giving you a diabetes on a first bite.

For 135ph cost per combo it's a way bearable but the WFC well, as I would say there is no repeat order for it.

LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Turf: in my bed

Dash: eating m&m and drinking coffee

1 Timothy 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

by the commandment of God our

savior and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Love is somewhat self-sacrificing or a painful one to be considered by so many. But LOVE is the most beautiful thing to hope for, Love is not sacrificing nor painful one. Pain gain through someone who hurt us, betrayed us, or leave us. It isn't LOVE who does this to us. Love does not cost anything bad to us nor harm us. To fall in love is like you meet heaven and earth, it's like a cloud nine and it's always excite us to wake up in the morning and see everything is quite fine and everything is so beautiful around us.

We are made for loving. If we don't love, we will be like plants without water.

--Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner

People are unreasonable illogical,

and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will

accuse you of selfish, ulterior

motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will

win false friends and true

enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be

forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness makes you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest idea can be

shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.

Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may

be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have

and you might get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

No matter what stone we trod in the road every day we must not take it as a reason not to go on living, and to take care, and to love. Love no matter what, always be inspired despite difficulties, travel the road seeing a bright future ahead. Life and love is a continuous process and the most adventurous one to take the journey.

Let us go forth, as called of God

Redeemed by Jesus' precious blood;

His love to show, his love to live,

His message speak, his mercy give. --Whittle

THE IMAGINATIVE MOVIE WORLD

Turf: rolling up on my bed

Dash: just watched LTM

Psalm 13:31

How long, O Lord? Will you forget

me forever?

Our imaginative mind goes to the realm that we could only grasp through dreams. It's an adaptation of the movie world into a reality was somehow inevitably true or funny. Quite sometimes I'm putting my shoes into it, and I'm so honest about that. Deliriously laugh about the 3 stoogies brothers where they use to hit each others so foolishly, well it doesn't make any sense but we laugh about their corny jokes, actions and that's how life makes it easy for them. Making people laugh is somehow a good accomplishment and somehow can forget bad moods, disturbing neighbors, annoying dogs and cat meows in the middle of safe and sound sleep. I love watching movies but not all movies so quite picky about the stories (more actions, more fun...hahaha. No to violence). But I love watching actions movies, the kick fighting of Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, Bruce Lee, the bang bang shoot shoot of Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, Harrison Ford, etc., On the other side I am a soft hearted too, when I watch romantic movies of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Drew Barrymore they always makes me cry, and laugh so hardly on the kinkiness of Cameron Diaz I'm so crazy about her she so good from drama to romance to comedy ( a rolled into one characters).

Our character is like a role in movie film, changing one into another now you're happy, the next day your sad, on the other day your quite ecstatic, and in a few moments you are just in silence. But for me it's quite normal that's how our life evolve we are tested in each day and we need to survive in each trial. And in each survival we learned from it.

♥Quotes♥

When sorrows assails us or terror draw nigh,

His love will not fail us, He'll guide with his eye;

And when we are fainting and ready to fail,

He'll give what is lacking and make us prevail. --Anon

EAT.LOVE.PRAY

Turf: bedroom

Dash: watching movie

Psalm 119:173

Let Your hand become my help.

The movie. Yes, it is. I love the way how the story goes, it's very realistic. I fall in love with the movie, and with the character of Julia Roberts. It's happening, particularly with me. Times when you want to go to a distant land just by yourself, because you want to seek something lack, still more space to fill in. Thoughts are wild to tame up and need a broad answer to suffice it. Questions are hanging in your heads like a popping bubble, times when you just stare blankly looking oddly. Not even so appreciative about the surroundings, about the others. It's cloudy. You pray that you will perfectly live the life He wants for you, to smile brightly and never think about anything. Just like one ordinary day when you were just young and not thinking anything but to play, play, and play, and just be merry about everything. But curiosity eats you up. Is it really curiosity or unsatisfactory of yourself? It's only because exploring your own world is haunting you. Making it real in life is way too far, so many halting you and that's because you care. Still you need to go on and find the light that's leading you to the right path of life you long wanted to live.

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. “ --Fr. Stephen, MSC - Life Lessons Learned.

It's a rediscovering of oneself that finally leads to happiness and fullness of your being.

Fear not, I am with thee—O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. —Anon.
