May 4 na agad.
5/12 na of 2014. Huhuhu. Bilis ng panahon! Hindi ko na muna sasabihin 'yung plans ko for May. :D

Anyway,

My April was an exciting and "lakwatsa"-filled month. All plans pushed through and I'm very very thankful.

Here's a rundown:

I have yet to post my Laguna and Cavite.

Diba? Diba? #explore2014 #alwaysthankful2014 #uselesshashtags:)))

In my Christmas 2013 (2014 and beyond) wishlist link: here.

Sinabi ko na gusto kong magpaka Dora the Explorer, naging ala Dora the Explorer nga ako nung April kaya super thank You po. Ganun talaga ang puso ng tao, noh? Hihingi tapos pag napagbigyan, hihingi ng hihingi ulit. Sarreh na. Ang lala talaga pag di maubusan ng gustong puntahan.

Copied from my wishlist post:

1. Funds to continue being a miracle to my sponsored child. Link: here. - Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ako dito. My sponsored child was changed but my new one already sent me a letter. hehehe.

2. Plant a tree or trees. 'Yung may pangalan ko. Ehehehe. - So far, wala pa 'to but may chance na. Alam ko na how kaya sana lang matuloy within this year :)))

3. Become a volunteer teacher again. - I don't know if I'll have the "extra" free time to allocate for this so I doubt that I'm doing this still. Okay na 'yung isa lang na volunteer work.

4. Volunteer at an NGO. (My eyes are on PAWS, Gawad Kalinga or Habitat for Humanity) - I've already submitted my application form last April. Just waiting for the PAWS volunteer orientation on May 10. hihihi!

5. Sporty hobby. Gusto ko ng jogging na nagiging walking lang naman, boxing, muat thai, badminton or zumba/dance classes. Gusto ko sana subukan ang yoga pero di ata kami bagay. - HAHAHAHA. Hanggang dyan ka lang ba Tintin December 2013 version? Sabi ng Tintin May 2014 version: MOUNTAIN CLIMBING ITEZ, BABY! Na-enjoy ko kasi sobra pls. :))))) Gusto kong gawing hobby 'yung mountain climbing kahit man lang isang bundok isang taon. Huhuhu. Naakyat ko nga pala 'yung Pico de Loro at ipo-post ko 'yan soon. hehehehe. At para sa training, okay na ko sa biking. PICO DE LORO EXPERIENCE LINK: HERE.

6. RAKET!!! - Forever kulang man, forever thankful pa rin na meron. Sana parating meron!

So the items in my wishlist have been accomplished except sa material things but I really had to sacrifice and make a choice eh. Kung bumili ako ng camera, wala kong mga out of town. hehehehe. Tama nga 'yung sinabi sa'kin na, choosing experiences over material things shall bring more happiness and contentment in the long run so I have no regrets. My old camera and laptop are still fine and working so okay lang talaga. My Xperia ZR's camera, on the other hand, does a great job in capturing bright outdoor (sometimes even macro) pictures. Instant upload pa nga sa Instagram. Hahahaha. #teamSony #teamXperia. Tumatanggap nga pala ko ng Sony TX30 na digicam at Sony Vaio na laptop ha. :))) Haaay, kung ganyan lang kadali ang buhay at pahingi-hingi na lang. hahahahaha. Lolssssss.

Ikaw? Kamusta?

Do you have a place you want to go to?

Do you have an activity you want to do?
Do you have something you want to own?

Sabi nga nila, "Don't wait for life to happen. Make life happen." I-motto natin yan forevs pls. Sanaaaaaaa.

You weren't made to simply survive until you die. Live it up, embrace life. This entire planet exists for all God's creatures, - and that includes you. Don't wait to start living, begin right now, with your very next breath. There are many wonderful experiences waiting for you, so get going.

May the fourth be with you.

I LOVE YOU, MAY!

KTNXBYE.

After the Hotair Balloon Festival link: here and Nayong Pilipino link: here. We headed to Paradise Ranch to eat our lunch and to spend the entire afternoon.

Unang-una, naiinis ako pag naririnig ko 'yung mga salitang Paradise Ranch kasi naaalala ko si Changmin ng DBSK. Naiinis kasi ako sa kamukha nun eh. Joke. Hindi ko naman na naisip 'yun nung nandun ako, tuwing ganito lang na nababanggit. hahahaha. Kk, baliw.

Sabi ng website nila,

Paradise Ranch is an environmental project design to educate children and the general public on protecting the environment and saving wildlife. it is located on the hills of Clark Air Base, with fog and temperature comparable to Tagaytay and Baguio, a million dollar view of the entire Clark Zone, surrounding cities and towns, overlooking the Sacobia River, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Arayat and other mountains and majestic sceneries for everybody to enjoy without and membership!

Tagaytay at Baguio. Kaya naman pala may "Little Baguio" na area. Best months to go there would be November to February siguro 'cause April?
JERSKERLERD. OVEN. PRITO. BBQ. SAUNA GANYAN.

This was our free lunch. Controlled buffet. Mej bitin pero oks na rin.

Here are the attractions/things to see in Paradise Ranch.

Remember Channel 2's Honesto? This was their filming site.

Aeta's dancing in the tune of Waka-Waka.

Fish Feeding Area
You are to ride that balsa.

Emote emote sa Little Baguio.
They also have a butterfly garden near this place.

Exploring the rest of the area.

Lika na, Edward Edward ulit.

This was the coolest place (literally) during that day! Sana nag set-up sila ng duyan dito.

As we explored more, we found this walkway and at the end of this was the pool.

Huhuhuhu. Sarap pls!

Near the pool was the Toon Town and these kids were also there playing.

After changing our shirts and freshening up, we went back to the bus.

Goodbye, Paradise Ranch.

It was fun while it lasted.

I enjoy going to places like this.
Tahimik and you'll feel one with nature. They also have cottages in there should you opt to have an overnight trip.

The only downer was the weather. It was really hot so it was a challenge to walk around the whole place. Para lang kasing nasa desert dahil sa lahar na nasa paligid. Marami pa nga kaming hindi napuntahan.

Ayan, as we rode the bus, tulog ako agad. Hindi ko na nga naramdaman na nakaalis na kami ng Paradise Ranch at nasa Duty Free na kami.

And there entered my most shonga moment ever,

As I woke up, I checked my phone and saw 14 miscalls from my mother.

"O asan na kayo? Anong oras kayo uuwi?"

Tumingin ako sa labas at may nakita akong Duty Free nga...
"Andito pa. Sa Duty Free. Subic."

"Subic? Bakit nasa Subic ka na naman?" Andun lang din kasi ako a week before. Duty free was our stop-over after going to Anawangin Cove in Zambales link: here.

"Andito nga kami sa Subic eh. May Duty Free sa labas."
"Layo pa nyan sa Pampanga. Nakaabot ka na naman dyan!"
"Ewan ko. Basta nasa Subic kami, bababa lang ako bibili sa loob"

ANG INIT PA NG ULO KO EH. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
SHET. MAY DUTY FREE SA PAMPANGA! AT MAGKAIBA ANG SUBIC AT CLARK. ARAL ARAL DIN NG GEOGRAPHY AT HISTORY, TIN! HAHAHAHAHA.

And that's the end of our "Subic" Trip.

Someday ka sa'min, Mt. Pinatubo.

All in all, I must say that the voucher from Metrodeal was worth it. Thank you, MetroAsian Tours for making this trip as convenient as possible. This would have been very difficult have we decided to do a D.I.Y tour. Kulang kami sa tulog because we all headed to our meeting place in Glorietta immediately after finishing all our works/things to do. Alam mo 'yun, gising na ng maaga ng April 11 tas Pampanga na agad sa madaling araw ng April 12 but because it was a group tour, kebs lang matulog sa bus nang walang inaalala.

My friend's blog link: here.

P.S. Sabi ko in one of my posts before, "as much as possible, somewhere North or farther South naman." Today's the 27th day of April 2014 and meron na lang akong isa pang pupuntahan before this month ends. Thank You po! 'Cause after 6 months, nakapunta ko ng ibang Northern and Southern Provinces. At sa 7th month (since October 2013 'to ah), ako na siguro ang pinakamasayang tao na may kaunting pera. Ajujuju.

Thank You po!!! :D
