Cabilao Summer Vacay

Second outing we've had was Naomi's birthday in Cabilao, Loon Bohol. Although Naomi is my niece, that was just my second time on the island after like 4years I guess. Time flies so fast because Naomi is already 10 years old now, i know!!! But this place actually looks the same as the last time we went. This year's visit is somewhat emotional and memorable for us and Naomi especially. But you know if you are going through something the more you should push yourself to just enjoy and relax. Spent 3days - 2 nights I think on their place.

 

 

This was one of the pictorials we did for Naomi's birthday. Actually, most of the pictures are on my phone. However, this has no filter and looks fine right?

They have their own pool and a beach. 

 

 

I couldn't really get a decent picture from our digital camera so hopefully I can upload some from facebook or from my phone. This us 3.. Noah''s not looking though :)

 

 

And my ever first underwater picture. Actually no, I had one from Movenpick but wasn't clear and decent enough. LOL 

I am not sure if I could go back to this place to be honest. 80% is saying yes because I think I will have all opportunity if I have time but 20% no because I do not want to. Voluntarily saying no. Maybe I can go there again with good company but for now I couldn't think of anyone else to go there (except for family of course) .

EXO - Kris

Okay, I was about to blog about something else but here comes a very interesting one.

I have just recently been a fan of EXO (gosh! I love Growl!) and I spotted this really good looking alien from guy and automatically I liked him because of his cold aura and really good looking. KRIS. 

KRIS is a Chinese-Canadian leader of EXO-M (China group) known as Galaxy FanFan, he is the main rapper of EXO. His striking good looks, tall and cold aura is really something that stand-out. And although he barely has lines on their songs, he still stands out. 

 

 

Isn't he effin' good looking?

News broke yesterday that he sued SM (which is the #1 entertainment industry that manages SNSD, TVXQ, Super Junior, F(x), and Shinee.. and then most recent which is EXO).

Kris allegedly filed a case to nullify his contract with SM Entertainment because of inhumane treatment and having no right to which activity they can do. EXO actually just came back last two weeks ago with "Overdose" and as expected they are doing well, and they even have an upcoming concert. They are in promotion right now. They even have their own reality program "EXO, Showtime!" 

As per AKP the reason of the nullification of the contract is:

"According to several reports, Kris's side has cited that the idol is being treated as if he is an object rather than being respected as an artist. They also mention that SM one-sidedly decided on the schedules, not giving thought to Kris' opinion or his health condition. As they believe that SM is restricting Kris from his basic human right to freedom and his choices career wise, the contract should be nullified."

It is indeed shocking. Not. 

This is not the first time that this happened because last 2009 Hangeng which is from Super Junior also complained about the same thing that Kris is complaining. Apparently, Suju members did not say anything about the incident instead SM dealt with and lost. 

However, now is a different case, apparently,some EXO members have said their opinion about it. The leader of EXO-K commented when they won today: 

"All the members had a conversation. We don't understand Kris' actions at all. Everyone was caught off-guard and have mixed feelings."

Suho continued, "I think Kris' actions are irresponsible and show that he's not thinking about EXO at all. Our members and agency have no issues. What Kris needs to do right now is take back the lawsuit and apologize to the members and company."

Sehun and Chanyeol also posted something to think about post in Instagram and just a few hours ago EXO Tao posted being betrayed in IG. Apparently, EXO's Tao is the one that is closest to Kris and Tao expressed how disappointed he is. 

Some Netizen is saying that those posts are not from EXO members but from the staff of SM. And that it is true that SM have this "slave contract" thing. Some Netizens are cursing SM from left to right now because it is happening again and not to mention on their rising group - EXO. 

Which side do you think is telling the truth?

Which side should I take?

Kris who is my bias on EXO? OR SM?

LOL

What do you think?

Movenpick Resort Cebu

I was looking for something to blog about because I was so bored already, while reading any body's blog I realized I have not shared anything about my summer getaways even if summer is almost over. I have my fair-share of summer and soaking under the sun and waters this year so I am very much satisfied! :P

First off, this was actually over the Holy Week when our client told us that our business is closed every Good Friday. So we were all forced to file a leave that day and not bad enough I got to spend three days without work  and with pay(since my rest days are always Saturdays and Sundays). Although  some companies have it longer but still thankful because for a BPO they work non-stop and doesn't even honor holidays. #disadvantage.

My sister's in-laws suggested to stay at their condo unit in Movenpick. It wasn't my first time but never thought about blogging it because there were a loot of blogs about it already. However, this holy week is kind of special because I got to spend it with my closest sibs..ahm..that's a lie. LOL. I just feel that this year's was fun! :) 

Movenpick is now one of the most visited resorts in Cebu - well, in the Philippines. Eversince they have changed it from Hilton to Movenpick Cebu they have been a sight in Cebu (lost for words there). So my sibs and I went there and spent 3 days, since we are occupying the residence we were only asked to pay 300Php for the pool and beach. (posting pics later, let me just finish this before I would lose my liking to post hehe)

 They are boasting about their Ibiza which is pretty much...pretty at night! LOL

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only took these photos available on my lappy, but will upload more laters.

Their pool which is also pretty at night.

Their food which is pretty much yummy throughout but we do not spend her since we bought our own food which is fine because we were like "residence".

But actually what I like about the place is there good customer service. They are very accommodating (atleast for us). There are resorts that would follow and stare at you as if you do not belong there or would ask why are you there? The guard is already a friend to us since he would notice us more so often. Customer service is really a big factor for any business - would really matter. Even if the place is not that nice, if you get there with warm greetings and accommodating staff then it will be a worthy place to stay. 

That's all for the first part of my summer getaway. Ciao!

Blogging..

I know I haven't been blogging for a long time that was actually because of the less access of internet in the office and now that we are not allowed to bring our laptops outside. However, I have always been reading blogs and listens to music often when I do not have anything to do and while I was also lazy on creating my own post kekeke. 

As always reading someone else's blogs would really inspire me to the extreme! Extreme like going outside the country and live there! LOL. I have recently read a blog about a teacher who taught english in Korea and I was amazed how  he was so passionate about Korea even if he is from the US which is of course a big country not to mention the most powerful. I wonder if I could really study there? If you want to read it click here. This blog really inspired me to be a teacher, traveler, love for the country and blogger! :) 

Sometimes I wonder and I ask my self what blogging is for? As for the Merriam-Webster - blog defines as...a Web site that contains online personal reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.

#walangbasagannangtrip

It's your own blog and it's your own story. You can write whatever you want. May it be a reflection of what you have seen, place you have traveled, food that you ate, book you have read, outfit of the day, and kung ano ano lang. May masabi lang.

Some gets inspired (like me) in blogging the effect would most likely be you creating a blog, how to express yourself, and build dreams of the things that you can do in the future.

Some also gets insecure. Why I couldn't go to that place? Why am I not pretty like her? Why am I not productive? Why is the world have yet to discover my existence? 

There are some who are just reading without comprehending. Just bored.

One or the other we always have different understanding on things. There are just blogs that makes you cringe and you couldn't bare to read everything but would just close your browser and shut your computer off. Either they are narcissist, they are too boastful and too much. 

For me personally, blog is like an online journal. It's like talking to a friend, it's like this is what I think, what do you think? It's not meant to be "show-off". There are things that we can express well in writing, talking to one's alter ego like a friend, it's not supposed to be a selfish act too. It's not meant to say that your life is beautiful..rather share to everyone that the world is beautiful. 

But that is just me...how about you? what do you think?
