Monkey Business?" :-D hmmm... she does have a point as we never visit the place nor even pass by the area even though it's just behind the mall she works in. I'm beginning to sense something though ... what could she be implying ..... but maybe this is for another story.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, I still remember that time when Mama went sleepless for days. She undoubtedly was troubled. She would talk to her friends, talk to her siblings, and sometimes just end up thinking deeply, alone, in the sofa, all through out the night. I was in my last year of high school, and while I had the impression that time that we would go bankrupt, my parents didn't make me feel that. My daily routine did not change significantly. My life was still as comfortable as before.</div><div><br></div><div>So the day came and I got dragged to check out the area - Matina Aplaya. My mom and her brother, my uncle, won parcels of land after battling an estafa case for more than 20 years in court. Yes, it took that long. It went all the way to the Supreme Court. Not only are these land not enough to cover what was originally owed, relationships soured over that long period of time. It was a waste of everyone's time and resources. </div><div><br></div><div>I think that time we really would have been bankrupt if not for family and friends in the community who were gracious lenders. I don't know the whole story. Mama never told her side. Papa never mentioned anything. Me and my cousins were never allowed to hear what the grownups were talking about. I just heard snippets of what happened 20 years after, when the case was about to be resolved already, all a little too late. I also found folders with mama's records when I was cleaning her closets. Mama is a great record keeper.</div><div><br></div><div>And not everyone was gracious too. I also heard of those that went all out, pressured mama in all possible ways, to get their way.</div><div><br></div><div>I will forever be grateful to those that helped mama during this very difficult test in our lives. I wish I knew more. I wish I could return favors. Regardless, the experience has taught me to be gracious as well when caught in the same circumstances. I may not be able to return these favors anymore so I hope they will be comforted by the thought that their actions have made me want to be as gracious as they were/still are. </div><div><br></div><div>So you see, I admire mama very much. I'm a proud mama's boy and I wish I had her tenacity. Even with all that she faced, she fulfilled her promises and still managed to accommodate those that asked for her help. What we enjoy today, we truly all owe to her. That is what I believe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVwngsWoLC6mGt9sH9c_L7Vq0g71-TYJEtlrNssw4yGHABCR8lRxPjb7AgmA_kt85mkFtHU9OB5pdz89vdnXEXbWBFKVsfF0O6nURYP4RkHW6gsrzsBeTdiLUpo8vkt29RL-or_SGX0dBoWUXuna-Xn9dJYC8QV-gBU92rIKgEWs6cFYOqfzg/s1680/matina%20aplaya%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1679" data-original-width="1680" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVwngsWoLC6mGt9sH9c_L7Vq0g71-TYJEtlrNssw4yGHABCR8lRxPjb7AgmA_kt85mkFtHU9OB5pdz89vdnXEXbWBFKVsfF0O6nURYP4RkHW6gsrzsBeTdiLUpo8vkt29RL-or_SGX0dBoWUXuna-Xn9dJYC8QV-gBU92rIKgEWs6cFYOqfzg/s320/matina%20aplaya%201.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjFQKpQaRDo-UZA-NIDP00h3efeoV0cvc_fuaumQUqsDOPAgVL_p71jjShUvEHo-QkBH-rHH9pxFHpwNl-d8ECB3XNtnWhiZvSCXw5Qcu5rOICdebc4f2zNI0aoY72pvtyrtWes44ANM0IS3QMOyV8cCTfM_xcdWJp0shAQr2lng9LZ9pdECc/s1680/matina%20aplaya%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1679" data-original-width="1680" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjFQKpQaRDo-UZA-NIDP00h3efeoV0cvc_fuaumQUqsDOPAgVL_p71jjShUvEHo-QkBH-rHH9pxFHpwNl-d8ECB3XNtnWhiZvSCXw5Qcu5rOICdebc4f2zNI0aoY72pvtyrtWes44ANM0IS3QMOyV8cCTfM_xcdWJp0shAQr2lng9LZ9pdECc/s320/matina%20aplaya%202.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br><div><br></div><div>The pictures show those parcels of land now.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting an <b>NBI Clearance</b> in the <b>Philippines</b> has always been a dreaded ordeal by the local job hunting community. You've probably read a lot of awful stories of delays and long queues in the NBI Clearance center near you.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You wouldn't believe it but I actually got my NBI clearance in 10 minutes! It was that fast. If you're in Manila I suggest you follow what I did. All my worries were for nothing! And a lot of blog posts are actually not updated. This is the main reason why I'm writing my experience. I actually got the idea from one of the comments in an old blog post. Let's just say this is my way of paying it forward. My only goal with this post is to help all Filipino job seekers out there who just want to land a decent job.</div>

It's no secret. Juicing and Juice Detoxing is the IN thing right now. While I started preparing and drinking <a href="http://myfriendsunjun.blogspot.com/2011/05/going-green.html" target="_blank">Green Smoothies way back in 2011</a>, I only started juicing last year. Normally, I would just juice at home. It's more economical that way. Sometimes though, it's also good to order and try out juices from home-based juicers. Try out the ones where the ingredients are more expensive or harder to find - Kale, Turmeric, Red Beets, Berries, Grapes, Chia seeds, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are not convinced yet to try juicing, watch the documentary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mS0YA465ts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fat Sick and Nearly Dead</a>. It follows the life of Joe Cross during the time he tried juicing for 40 days. See and watch what happened to him. </div>
<br />
If you are looking for a juicer in Davao, here are some of those I've come across with.<br />

Was a little low on cash since the stock market started correcting last week. It was a good thing then that Greenwich hosted a Blogger's Barkada Blowout here in Davao last Friday. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Greenwich, their best-selling pizza is their Ultimate Hawaiian Overload Pizza. It is undoubtedly the favorite pizza of the Filipinos. The glazed pineapple and ham hits the right spots in the Pinoy's sweet palate. But Greenwich didn't stop there. They added bacon in the mix as well, making their version of the pizza truly ultimate. Now I've tasted a lot of Pizza Hut's version of the Hawaiian Pizza as well and I can honestly tell you that Greenwich's was way better. The only plus point for Pizza Hut is their crust which is more flavorful and savory which I like. </div>

<br />
Closing fireworks exhibition at the 4th Philippine International PyroMusical Competion at SM Mall of Asia.<br />
<br />
An upbeat performance featuring more recent popular music for the first half and overwhelming the crowd by using not only the platform but the whole bay side area of the Mall of Asia. From our vantage point, it wasn't as in sync with the music during the first half. The second half though was quite exquisite and explosive. You know they really spent for that fireworks display - ingenious and impressive with innovative new fireworks.<br />
<br />
Here's the video sourced from Platinum Fireworks. Enjoy!<br />

<b>General Outlook for the Year of the Snake 2013 ( Feng Shui)</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A Year with <b>Sustenance Luck </b>- unlike the previous year where we saw a lot of political changes and upheavals in many countries, this coming year we will see a lot of <b>CONSOLIDATION </b>- Focus will be back on achieving <b>GOALS</b>.</li>
<li>2013 signifies the beginning of the second half of the Period of 8. Therefore <i><b>young people</b></i> will continue to exert strong influence (good or bad) in the world.</li>
<li>In 2013, <b>Intelligence</b>, <b>Mental Capability</b>, and <b>Creativity </b>will also overcome the raw use of Power. Intellectual pursuits will be auspicious.</li>
<li>2013 also signifies the presence of the <b>Powerful Mentor Star</b> - this suggests that those in positions of authority will tend to be kinder and more tolerant towards subordinates. It will be a good time to seek the help of <b>Mentors</b>. It also signifies the continuity of <b>RECOVERY </b>and <b>ADVANCEMENT </b>of the worlds' economies. (More after the jump!)</li>

2013, the <b>Year of the Water Snake</b> will start on February 10, 2013. According to <b>Feng Shui</b> experts <b>Lillian Too</b> and<b> Jennifer Too</b>, Earth born Horses (1978) will have tremendous Wealth Luck helped by two Big Auspicious Stars this year! The downside is a lack of VITALITY and PERSONAL POWER luck. Therefore it is recommended that horses show their RESILIENCY and that NEVER-GIVE-UP Attitude for this year. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Related to vitality is the horse's health. It is important that horses' take care of their health. Surrounding yourselves with GREEN will improve your luck as well. As for your personal power, wearing gold and using wind chimes will do you good. (More after the jump!)<br />

The Ayala Triangle Gardens' Laser and Lights Show has become an attraction worth anticipating every Christmas season. Last year, Ayala Triangle used inflatable stars in different colors as highlights. This year, they used moving orbs as theme. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The show is definitely worth visiting. It's great for the whole family. Kids would surely love the experience. Not only are the movements and the lights in sync with the music, the show also uses fog machines and laser lights! Best of all, it's for FREE! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The show runs for about 7 minutes with a few minutes after allotted for everyone's favorite activity - picture taking! It'll run from November 16 - December 30, 2012 every 30 minutes from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For all my friends who can't visit the place this Christmas season, here's the 9:00pm show showcasing Filipino Christmas Songs! </div>

After my <a href="http://myfriendsunjun.blogspot.com/2012/11/JinShanLingGreatWall.html" target="_blank">epic trip to JinShanLing Great Wall</a>, I realized that my <b>Philippine Passport</b> was about to expire. Bear in mind that the immigration offices abroad will not allow you to enter their country if your passport is about to expire in 6 months. Philippine immigration officers also check this and you won't be allowed to leave the country as well - this is for your own convenience. That's why it's important to check when your passport expires and it's important to renew it ahead of time so you are ready to travel anytime. Planning ahead will save you some money as well.</div>
<br />
I was extremely happy to know that <b>The Department of Foreign Affairs Mindanao</b> has moved out from it's old office in Jacinto st., and has now moved in SM City Ecoland. The whole 3rd floor of SM City Davao which used to house the different telecom and electronic shops is now the new office of DFA Mindanao. It's a big improvement from their old office aesthetic-wise.<br />

Undoubtedly, one of the best portions of <b>The Great Wall of China</b> is the section at <b>JinShanLing</b>. Most tourist, even local Chinese tourist, either just go to the Badaling or the Mutianyu sections. I've never been to the Mutianyu section but I have been to Badaling Great Wall. While it was still overwhelming for a first timer, the hoards of tourists just somehow destroys the experience. Not only is it harder to climb the wall with all the crowding going around, the beauty of the Great Wall is somewhat diminished as well - our group even had to pass by a portion with puke on the ground. For me, the best way to enjoy The Great Wall is when it's quiet, peaceful, and with only a few tourists around - just like viewing masterpieces in a museum. If you are looking for a similar experience, your best chances of getting one is by going to JinShanLing.</div>

<b>Eng Seng Special Tower Yema Store in Davao</b><br>
<b><br></b>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a previous post, I discovered this <a href="http://myfriendsunjun.blogspot.com/2011/02/yema-heaven.html?showComment=1347038741238" target="_blank">Special Tower Yema</a> that reminded me of how I liked my yema back when I was a kid. Undoubtedly, the Eng Seng Special Tower Yema has become a great addition to the pasalubong (gift) selection available in Davao for kindhearted tourists who never forget to bring home goodies for their loved ones whenever they go on a trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never thought it would reach this level. I only got a hint of it when a couple of years back, a visiting friend from Cebu bought the most sought after yema in town at a convenient store. Now, kiosks and stalls in the airport are already selling the Yema as well. You can basically find the yema in most convenient stores, groceries, and supermarkets. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it would be convenient to buy the Yema at these outlets, the best option would still be to get it from the source. Unknown to most tourist, the <b>Eng Seng Pasalubong Store </b>is conveniently located at the city center. </div>

The frozen yogurt craze might have died down already but surely, it has already created a following here in the Philippines, and I still welcome the fact that <b>Red Mango</b> is now in Davao! I got acquainted to frozen yogurt tasting one of the first froyo's in the country, and that is from <b>Yoh-gurt Froz. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yoh-gurt Froz for me is quite similar to Yogo which was offered first at Coffee Cat during the craze. Unknown to many, SM actually offered a similar tasting frozen yogurt at their supermarket at a much cheaper rate! If you taste Red Mango's frozen yogurt though, it'll have a distinct texture and flavor. Not too creamy, not sweet, more tangy. It's actually not a lot different from all the other frozen yogurts, after all, it's still premium frozen yogurt. How different can it get, right? One thing for sure though is it won't have that ice cream creaminess that <b>White Hat</b> and <b>Golden Spoon</b> are aiming for - which I actually prefer (and most people that I've taken to Red Mango say the same in fact.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I forget, the best thing about RED MANGO is their presentation! When dining in, the frozen yogurt is served in a white bowl and not on paper cups. I admit, I eat first with my eyes.</div>

<b>Happy Lemon is in Davao.</b><br>
<br>
Unlike most Happy Lemon stalls in Manila, the Happy Lemon in Davao is really an enclosed shop with large tables and benches that can accommodate a group of 6-8. It's air-conditioned as well.<br>
<br>
<b>What to order at Happy Lemon </b><br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese or </li>
<li>Coffee with Rock Salt and Cheese.</li>
</ul>
<br>
I think these are what they are known for. I've tried both and the combination is definitely intriguing. There are 3 ways to drink it: 1.) Use a straw and try the drink (coffee or cocoa) on it's own. 2.) Taste the Rock Salt and Cheese on top by licking it with your tongue directly (if you wanna be prim and proper, you can use the straw of course (^o^)/), 3.) Mix the topping with the base and drink!<br>

Welcome to Madayaw Davao! Welcome to the Kadayawan festival. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year, I missed the Kadayawan festival. I don't normally get excited during this festive season in Davao. This year though I find myself a little upbeat and eager to see what the city has to offer - doesn't mean that I'll be joining the parades or any of that kind of stuff anyway. hahaha (more of just soaking in on the festivity and enjoying the vibe of the city and the people)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Upon arriving at the Davao International Airport, you'll get a feel of the vibe right away. Dancers wearing what appears to be a mix of modern and ethnic attire welcome arriving passengers at the baggage claiming area while dancing to tribal music.</div>

It feels so good to sweat from exercise!<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While going to the gym can be a bit restrictive, here's a cool FREE mobile application that let's you do different kinds of workouts at home! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been using the app for a week now and I'm loving it. You should try it too. It has free instructional programs with audio support that lets you do a complete body workout from warm up to cool down. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love the variety of free workouts that the app offers. You can exercise with dumbbells or use your own weight to stimulate your muscles. If you love to run, there's a program that will help you improve your run whether you want to last longer or run faster. There are even Yoga workouts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

We've always been taught that success can bring happiness and that in order for one to be successful one must work hard and put in a lot of sacrifices. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mere thought brings back memories of how my parents urge me on to study hard and achieve in school. It also reminds me of a friend who had a similar experience. For my friend though, it was his aunt who encouraged him to concentrate on his studies first and to not have a love life while studying. According to his aunt, if you get good grades you'll eventually land a good job and the girls will just come rushing in. In short, good grades = great job = success = girls. At that time when he told me the story, we were colleagues working for a multinational company and we were already earning a considerable amount each month. He ended his tale with an emphatic expression asking "where are the girls?"<br>

A lot of tourists who stop by El Nido don't get to take Island Hopping Tour C because they only stay for a day or two and end up taking only <a href="http://myfriendsunjun.blogspot.com/2012/05/island-hopping-tours-el-nido.html" target="_blank">Island Hopping Tours A</a> and B. Another reason why some Filipinos might opt not to take this is because of the higher price. This island hopping tour is offered by El Nido Boutique and Artcafe for 1,000 pesos/person. </div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have the time and money, I highly suggest you take this tour. Among the highlights of this tour are the <b>Secret Beach</b>, the <b>Hidden Beach</b>, and the<b> Star Island</b>. As a final stop, the guide will take you to <b>Helicopter Island</b>, an island where a couple of<b> Pawikan Turtles</b> frequent to feed. It is also a beautiful island to just lounge and will time away.</div>

Businesses that are ran this way must never be tolerated. Okay, I may be a little exaggerating. They do get a star for tasty food, but that is about it. </div>

The accommodations and room amenities are definitely below par. Believe the resort manager when she says it's a modest resort. But don't worry, you'll have the beach all to yourself! That is if you can tolerate sand fleas/sand flies. This was the only fully booked resort that I went to where all the guests preferred to stay indoors even with the lovely beach just meters away. So bring a lot of insect repellent and make sure you reapply every now and then. </div>

There are 3 basic island hopping tours in El Nido, Palawan. These are labeled as Tour A, B, and C. Upon the recommendation of my friend's sister, we took Tours C and A. According to her, Tour B isn't that nice because it mostly involves exploring caves. If you like that kind of stuff then you should take Tour B. With tour A and C on the other hand, you'll go snorkeling in lagoons, beaches, and hidden coves. </div>

We weren't disappointed. For first timers, you must take Tour A as this offers the more usual attractions. Personally though, I was blown away by the beauty of Tour C. The places you go to in tour C are magical. And I guess I enjoyed it much more for the simple fact that there were less tourists around.</div>
