My India Adventure Saga - First Stop NEW DELHI

Actually, its been ages like 2 months or so that I am not writing anymore here(my blogabag). Maybe, because I have nothing to share and write about. Good LORD, He allowed me to travel this year and now, I have so much to tell and rant about. Hehehe

Well, actually this India Trip was not really in my plan. I want to go to Europe or somewhere but good thing its another way around. India is really incredible and with a lots of contrast. Contrast because if you are in their BigCities - you will really be pissed off or maybe you can say something Not Good but then if you are in their Rural areas or provincial or villages- OMG its really amazing with all those centuries temples, forts and palaces. And that makes India Contrast to me hehehe. Anyhow, before I'll start my pinoy story pardon me as I am writing this blog I am so peepee and needs to go the toilet..excuse moi back in a minute-naiihi lang teh:-)

Okay, back to work charrot este back to my story, This India Trip was really a bit of not so well planned because my first intention is to do Backpacking but when I try to book all the train tickets online, I cannot book there's alot of things to do, process and requirements so I called and booked to a travel agency my transportation which is out of my budget but what to do I already booked my airticket going to India. So the scenario before my flight was like by hook or by crook or bahala na - I need to go to India as in cramming teh.

Anyway, after I landed in New Delhi things get better than what I expected from the airport someone guided me to go to this dept for Upon Arrival Visa and then after that they guided me to an Exchange for change of money then later my Driver met me at the entrance of the airport. So things really going smooth until I exited the airport and went to my guest house. The area is really dark and so cramped as in we had an hour locating this house and it was 4:00AM. The house was okayish because I will only stay there for a night. The room was big, free wifi, there's TV and all. I mean it was decent actually. So in the morning around 10AM they picked me from the house. I listed all the things and see to do in New Delhi for a day but then my driver for this whole trip was the one who made my itinerary or the important attractions to see n go till the end of this trip. So I did not argue okay lets go but I just realized now that it was okay because If I was the one decided that things that I need to go and see - baka super luray na akish every day because in one attraction OMG you need to see n feel and roam for 3 hours because its huge and you need to understand, listen all these legendary stories etc how they made it from the start etc etc. But for one day, the guy(my driver) toured me 5 most important sites in New Delhi - The India Gate - which is just a symbol of India's pride, Red Fort - which is a Huge Fort, Qutub Minar - I love this Place, Humayun Tomb - So Taj Mahal actually but great tomb, Mughal Garden - so royale and the Karol Bagh Market - where my guest house located so indian-massive, dirty, lively and cheap. So Tiring at the end of the day but overwhelming. 

Next Stop - Agra, India. I am so excited  to tell yah guys because this is the most overrated, talked about town/city plus the fact that this is where Taj Mahal is located and that is to be continued in my next tale so stay tune tehhhh:-)

HS Batch 95 Though Thick and Thin

Regardless of how many friends I've meet and win, My HS Batch still the best among the rest! They are my wind beneath my wings charring! I am opted, I mean Urge to write an article about my batch here in  my blog because I felt it coming from my heart that regardless of what ever happen to us, they will be there through thick and thin. And what happened last week is a living testimony that through all these years, we are here to support each other.

They may win and have new found friends as well but those friends they found (if not all) are good only for nothing, they are there for fun and excitement but for crisis and help - you will never see them even at the slightest of their shadow; comforting you or even offer help but rather;  they will condemn you for that senseless act. And yes,  its really proven enough that those friends are good in blabbing of what they been and up to but at the end of the day - their just simply like a bubble - evaporate when the rough times and when the good times comes; they will appear right away just like that :-)

I Just hope that our allegiance which never written in the paper but carve in our hearts will remain forever and that even in our 60's will still look for each other and laugh each other of the moments we shared. Hail to the Batch 95!

The Batch 95 Through the Years!

Through thick and thin, we are there for each other!

God's Purpose

Recently, something was happened. Out of fun and celebration, we did not foresee it or even think about it but it happened. It's pain to see them being there but I always believe that God has purpose of it. Or for me Things that always happened there is always something to be learned or there is a reason why it happened. Its either logical or illogical but there's always a reason. Like in my case before, I mean last October; I met an accident and eventually I realized that for what ever reason or excuses I had of not seeing or even grateful to HIM there is no way of  forgetting HIM and not just that that I should be careful enough now of riding cars etc and of not just deciding if Id like to go to this place, I can go what ever I want. No, this time not anymore, I am carefully thinking and planning if the trip is worth to go or not but more than that a lot of rationalization(s) also not just for myself but also towards other people; my family, friends and acquaintances.

So I just hope that we will look that way of the things happened to us and life has to carry on. Its also a check and balance of your mentality, attitude and the way you carry yourself. Maybe its time to lessen a little bit of being too proud, boastful. Just stay being humble, simple and be grateful always to God and also to people who help and build you all the way. Well, for some Money can change them but I hope this time its not about the money but of learning and experience you had been through and with that I hope we will make us a better and helpful individuals. Amen, To GOD be the Highest Glory!

New Years Celebration and Cold Play!

Fun! Fabulous! Glamorous! Exciting! That's what New Years Celebration is all about. Me and my friends booked a hotel and at the same time bought a tickets to watch Cold Play. It was indeed a treat but it was also a restless tiring and an energy draining.

And here's my diary on that joyous celebration, Dec 31, 2011, exactly 3:00 pm we went to the hotel and checked in. Sheraton by far is really is a 5 star hotel. We asked for a late check out and the receptionist told us we can have the room till 1:00 pm. What the heck? Five star hotels standard late check out is 2:00 pm. Well, probably the girl has no knowledge about it and second it was my friend who do the talking in the Reception so let it go! Anyway we have been staying in the hotel a lot of times and 1:00 pm is okayish anyway he he he. We took a nap for while and later at exactly 5:30 we went straight to the mall where the concert venue was nearby.

Good Lord! 5:30 is not yet traffic so our ride was smooth and voila after 15 minutes we arrived in the mall. But because we were hungry, we look for some fast food who can offer sumptuous meal. Lo and behold my friends, we think the same so we headed to FOODRUCKERS, our favorite. So yummy and full, we strolled for a while coz the gate opens at 8:00 pm. 7:30 was good enough to go and queue. Finally at 8 o'clock gate opens. So excited to see the venue, we hurriedly went inside. Hmm the venue was so big so we searched for a place where we can see the whole stage and of course the cold play in real flesh. And so we got our place to stand for the last 3 hours or so, Party till wee hoursssssss!!!wotwooo. After a long hours of standing lets say two hours of wait standing, finally Cold Play is here to rock en roll!

Their playing our favorites after favorites after favorites but Paradise still the best ever they played on. Later, the countdown for NYE begun and we shout out loud, toasting and well wishing for everyone in the concert a happy new year and blessed 2012 for all of US. So great and happy feeling indeed! And here's to prove it that one joyful and tireful NY celebration.

Hapless People of CDO & Iligan - They need our help!

Cagayan de Oro and Iligan is very close to my heart. In fact, I am very familiar of every nook and cranny of there streets even until now. I was part of the culture and life of these cities way back. Thus, when I heard, read of what had happened - my hearts melt and I was so sad. Well, of the fact that these cities are not the most sinful cities if not in the world or in the Philippines. 

The Wrath of nature is not justifiable but perhaps because of what people have done to the forests, mountains etc - No wonder its not the wrath of nature but the repercussion of that wrongful acts. Those hapless and Dead people are just the collateral damage of what had happened but some people are the one to blame - those corrupts who are blind of easy money and allow mining and logging companies to exploit with out small consideration of the majority and the future.

Well, I am begging you guys to please help and donate in your own small way either money or in-kind. They don't deserve this punishment but because of the fact that its happened already, what we need is yours and my actions to help and donate.
