Lucban Quezon: Pahiyas Festival 2011

Lucban, 3-4 hours south of manila, is an upland town in the province of Quezon :one of the largest Philippine provinces in terms of land area. The province is Postcard perfect itself and still has the provincial charm with the distant shadows of the mighty Mount Banahaw and rolling farmlands in the background.


It was a long drive, good thing I secured one magazine and phone are loaded with good music. It helps  me when things get boring down the road. One thing I hate about this travel is that we are not able to reserve a room online. All hotels are fully booked so we drive through one town to another and good thing lady luck is with us.

I love the hotel we stayed in, for a moment I though I was in bali as I stepped out of our hotel. Waking up, seeing the manicured garden, neat pathways and bali inspired structures make me knock my head off. I took so much pictures of the hotel and until now I can’t decide to what picture to post. Sorry if there is no picture of bed, I’m bad when it comes to bed it looks disaster but I assure you it look very attractive.

 I woke up early 4:30 in the morning and this beautiful sunrise welcome me.

And these words echoes:

    @Sheng..I also love Kenneth Cobonque designs and creation. I'm so in love with his Harry Rocking Stool- so quirky and playful:)

Single...love!

I have spent a significant portion of my life watching sappy romantic movies with ideal couple with guaranteed happy ending is such magical thou expected. I know this is terrible but there is something about them that just seem slightly attainable and relatable to our own life. Not all of us have been assigned a Mcdreamy in this lifetime. Yes! I still have a huge crush with Derek Christopher Shepher of Grey's Anatomy. I’m sorry guys. So you’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you weird, fat or you dress like out of nowhere or it’s not because you did not promptly follow the love chain letter instructions that you have to send it to 20 people close to you. You’re not single because your standards are way too high. It’s good to have standard at least you know what you like.  You’re not single because you did not learn enough from your past relationship or go out on a Friday night after work and have a bottle of beers with your guy office mates instead you ...

Laugh and Live

To avoid the misconception that our problems are permanent, is to laugh at them. Just throw your head back and laugh in the face of fear and in the midst of struggle. Life is serious enough without you having to be serious about it. One of the greatest aspects of being alive is play. without exception, people need play. People whose live are lopsided with work have a lack of appreciation for play. Thinking their lives are serous business. they give up play too readily. They think they cannot afford time away from work and chores. Instead, they grind away, insisting that staying alive means work and rest in an ending cycle. When we're laughing, I think we're learning. It opens our minds up and makes us more creative and innovative. It helps us to view our challenges from a unique perspective. When you laugh and you play, you are having the moment-to moment experience of you at your best. Doing such activities is  a gift to yourself. You're nurturing yourself with the same ...
