Just Photographs and Memories

Who says scrapbooking is old school?? Yah, maybe to some but not to me..

My mom decided to print some of our pictures taken in Singapore and put them into an album, that’s when I realized that I should do the same thing too, I mean I must not be contented only in keeping my pictures on my laptop, nor on my facebook and multiply account. What if they’ll get hacked or be infected with virus again (it already happened to my laptop where I lost most of my files)?? I couldn't afford to lost those evidence of memories, not again...

And its way back in 2007 (I guess) where I last printed pictures, blame the improving technology on that, computers and the social networks!

But I would love to do that again, that compiling of photos!  So I’ve chose more than a hundred of photos here that was captured from 2009 to present and had them printed…. Pictures from different places and occasions.. even those most silliest picture I had.

And as of the moment, I’m still working on the captions on every pictures, I’m still remembering the reasons why those pictures are special!

 

9th of 9th of 2012

Hey… its Sunday and its about to end, I hate Mondays as always..

Anyway, so what we got here today?? Nothing so fascinating as always too but I love Sunday, you know that!

I woke up past 10am, I know that’s kinda late but you’ll forgive me if I’ll tell you that I rise from bed at 5:30 am Monday-Saturday..

I had this picture tripping, no breakfast yet, not even washed and brushed my hair, my teeth as well… hehe.. just wanna show the world how I looked messed up in the morning.. that my brother would tell me this when he saw the pictures.. “ew! Walang ligo, mukhang ang baho mo”.. hahaha

Anyway, so I ate breakfast, oh that’s “brunch” to be specific… then browsed the internet, chat with my sister and my friends, watched online the remaining episodes of walking dead season2 that I haven’t watched.

I just loved Glen!

Later this afternoon, I had a slight headache, so I decided to see the sun for awhile, the sunset coz that's already 5pm when i left my room.. I took my dirty clothes to the nearest laundry shop, bought some fruits and groceries at Save More, just few meters away from us.

And at the moment I’m back to watching the Walking Dead, it’s just a bit annoying the player is loading so sluggish, that’s why I’m doing this blog while waiting…. (sigh).

SINGAPORE

Yours truly, my mom and my brother just had our trip to Singapore last August. I could say those were just some of the good days in my life, away from work, away from my daily routine, and away from my dull and boring life in Manila (hehe).

But before that short great days took place, I went home to our hometown to celebrate the Eid there, and that was, fortunately, a good excuse in my leave form, I didn’t tell anyone in the office of my plan of going to SG until I went back, (I told just a few of my officemates).

Anyway, time to paint memories now.

We arrived at Changi Airport 8:20pm 23^rd of August. My former officemates who work in SG now fetched us in the Airport, tnx to Jeny and Mike! They introduced us to the means of transportation there, it was easy and convenient… train, buses and taxi. I was prepared too, I listed an itinerary with directions as how to get into those places, tnx to gotheresg.com.

I booked a 3-shared private bedroom to Ideal Backpackers Hostel, it wasn’t the classy but still, we we’re comfortable there, the staff are accommodating.

24^th of August.

Here are the places we dropped by… Just the three of us, I was lost many times in Manila but not in SG, MRT stations are organized, and as long as I know how to read and ask, you won't get lost.

Breakfast at IMAM Banana Leaf Resto.

Fullerton Hotel.

The Asian Civilization Museum.

Marina Bay/Merlion Park.

 

Esplanade.

Had a great time in Sentosa--Universal Studios.

Stopped by at Vivo City

Some shopping spree in Bugis.

At night, my mom and I went to Mustafa Center, I was actually planning of going there  alone but she insisted to come. Oh, that was the only time we had a problem in going back home because I was not able to search it on the internet and too tired to ask, that was so late then, but still we found our way home.

Here's my tired but at least happy face in one of the stores in Mustafa Center where we bought some souvenirs.

25^th of August

My mom and I visited first thing in the morning Arab Street..

China Town’s next.

At Orchard Road—ION and Tangs Plaza.. just had some window shopping, maybe the only thing I hate about SG is the cost of living! But I love the food choices, good for us!.. many eateries that serve Halal foods.

Then we met my brother at Lucky Plaza (he was too lazy to come with us in the morning). There were so many Filipinos there; it’s as if you’re just walking around Manila. I was ashamed when I ordered our meal in one of the resto there, I spoke in English, but they replied in Tagalog! Haha, that happened twice actually.

Garden’s by the Bay-- Cloud Forest and Flower Dome.

Passed by at The Singapore Flyer.. I didn’t take the ride though I really wanted to, blame my mom and my bro who's so afraid of heights! Losers! Haha

Back to the hostel at past 7pm, I wanted to go out to see Marina at night, but my legs was so hurting, I was so exhausted! I ended up sleeping!

26^th of August

In the morning, my brother, my mom and I had a strenuous but fulfilling stroll in Singapore Botanic Garden and National Orchid Garden. We did it in “fast forward” manner, we are running out of time.

In the afternoon, we separate ways, Mom and Bro went back to Orchard Road to do some shopping, I met my friend jeny and Mike again… Arleen(former officemate too) couldn’t come. We had a nature tripping in Pulau Ubin. I was hesitant at first in going there, I might miss our flight (12:40am of 27^th). Pulau Ubin is an Island we need to cross the sea in about 20mins. Anyway we reached the place, we rented bikes, oh no, just them, what a shame! I forgot how to do it.. nyahha… sorry jen, you need to carry me.. haha..

We saw monkeys in the place, I had a good grip on my bag, they said those monkeys are harmless, but they will sneak around you and grab your things, no not my passport! Haha…

To sum it up! Those were one of the best days of my life!

I hope to see you again SINGAPORE!

What's in Facebook today?

  when I opened my account today, these stuff had welcomed me posted by different people.. and these indeed proven their sense already to me, nyahahaha... no maybe, maybe yes...








(sigh)... so much drama right??? hahaha.... i don't know what's wrong with these people, pouring their broken hearts out on the world wide web..... and its contagious!!! grrr....

anyway, at some point, these are helpful, you'll find out that you're not the only one in this world facing life's undertakings...

and what these people posted, I'm referring to those pictures above are so true!

^__^ -- at 1st day of July

 July 1! I don’t know why I’m being baffled with this day, could it be because it’s nearing August?? And that’s my birth month…. Whatever! Maybe I should look for Peter Pan and ask him to take me to Neverlands… and I do believe in fairies… hehe

So, where was I today? Well, I spent the whole morning in my room… I had a Samurai X marathon, I just loved it! I love Kenjin Himura…

and in the afternoon, my brother and I went to Glorietta to watch the Spiderman… Honestly, I was bored with it, so many dull moments.. I still go for Tobey Maguire!

And I’ve met an old friend too, Rohannie.

This is how yours truly looked like today..

And this my brother asking me to take his picture at this very spot—Makati Ave., in front of Ayala Museum.

So, that’s it..

Good night for now!
