running through my head

funny how a certain place 
reminds you of a certain someone;
that certain look,
that certain smile,
that certain moment..


then the memories came rushing back,
memories that once was sweet,
memories that was always treasured..


those times when only you matter,
those times when everything is bright and shiny
in a world that you and I only exist..


missing,
longing,
then..
snap!


back to reality,
back to the fact that all is gone,
gone and always will be.

salty dog

Drunk. Wasted. Crazy.
Yan ang naging lagay ko last week dahil sa aking birthday. Ikaw ba naman uminom ng iba't ibang alak at beers kung hindi ka malasing at macoma kinabukasan dahil sa hangover.


But what i like most is the grape vodka mix ng aking nanay na nilaklak ko ng nilaklak sa sarap. 'Salty dog' daw ang tawag nito sabi ng aking HRM na pinsan na hindi ko alam kung paano naging maalat na aso ang cocktail drink na 'to kaya nigoogle ko ito at ang sabi ni wikipedia ay; Salty Dog is a cocktail of vodka and grapefruit juice, served in a glass with a salted rim. Marahil dahil sa salted rim ng glass kung saan ito sineserve kaya naging 'salty' pero bakit naman naging 'dog'? Anyways, heto ang recipe para masubukan nyo.


What you need:

1 litro pack (35grams) grape flavored instant drink mix
350ml vodka
10 pcs. calamansi
1 glass water
ice


Mix all ingredients sa isang pitcher (of course, kailangan pigain ang kalamansi at tanggalin ang buto dahil yun juice lang ang kailangan). Tang litro pack na grape flavor ang ginamit nila at pwede ring Gin ang gamitin pamalit sa Vodka dahil nang maubos ang vodka ay naging Ginebra Gin na lang. You can also add any amounts of those ingredients to suite your taste. Serve with ice or chilled. Finished product will look like the picture pero mas purple nga lang, wala kasi akong pic nun dahil wasted na nga ako. Try it and enjoy!

GENSAN TRIP

I'm back. Its been a while since I my last post dahil sa mga kaganapan sa aking buhay at isa na dito ay magbakasyon. My mom is from Gensan and we often go there to visit my lola and relatives during summer. Since I recently resigned from my work (and I'm still unemployed as of this writing), I got a chance to take a vacation and here's the highlights...

First of all, kudos sa highways at roads sa GenSan dahil maluwag, malinis at concrete ito making it easy for travelers. Sarap din ang fresh air na sasalubong sa inyo.

 

LONDON BEACH

There are different beaches in Gensan that you can choose from. Tabi-tabi na nga sila kaya hindi ka na mahihirapan sa paghahanap. My cousins suggest that we go to London Beach na ayon sa kanila ay hindi crowded masyado dahil ito ang pinakadulong beach resort.

Not so fine sand pero pwede na. Medyo malumot din un beach at mag-ingat sa mga sea cucumber dahil  na biktima nila ang paa ko.

Boundary wall ng resort kung saan may malaking cottage na good for big families. Maulan ng kami ay pumunta dyan kaya medyo gloomy ang pic na to.

Cousins at kapatid ko na walang tigil kakapose. I really like this orange wall which makes a good background. 

KCC MALL OF GENSAN

After beach bumming, we went to the mall to watch Deathly Hallows (backlog post ko ito dahil July pa 'tong vacation na ito kaya first showing week ng Harry Potter). 90php lang ang 3D cinema sa KCC may kasama pa yun popcorn, sulit!

At ngayon ko lang ulet nakita ang 'old school' movie ticket na yan :)

PAHAYAHAY

Para sa mga naghahanap ng night life, there are a few bars where you can hang-out and local coffee shops around the city. The only problem is that magkakalayo ang mga 'to unlike sa Manila where everything is at one place. One more thing, its almost 11pm when we decide to go out but most of the bars na pinuntahan namin ay closed na. So we went to 'Pahayahay' and this word literary means 'to relax'. I haven't got much pictures of this bar but what I can say is that reggae inspired ito at acoustic ang tinutogtog ng band (dahil acoustic nights nun pumunta kami). What interest me is that their drinks are named after a movie.

'The Devil Wears Prada' na nakalimutan ko na kung ano ang mix at ang kanilang tequila sunrise na nakalimutan ko naman ang equivalent movie name at ang RH beer. Affordable din ang mga prices dito.

Yummy fries na may 3 different dips. Those two are the only pics I have, napasarap sa gimik e :)

That's all for now. I only spent 3 days lang kasi. Hope I'll be back to Gensan para malibot pa ang must see places.
