Cabucgayan is my home

I MISS MY HOME TOWN

I miss my families. When I was home I keep thinking I need to move out. I want to live on my own and escape from my parents sermon. I do love my parents but sometimes when its too much I can't help but wish to go far far away in never never land to be with Peter Pan and The Lost Boys fighting against Capt. Hook and live the life I wanted . Now, here I am living somewhere in Northpole with Santa Clause ^_^ and longing to be with my family again. I miss the sermon. Being far away with my family helps me more to appreciate their worth as a part of me. I'll be seing them soon. I love you all.

I miss my friends. Friends from Elementary, High School and College. Friends I care. Friends who care for me (hopefully theres one). Friends I fought a lot. Friends who I hated (a long long time ago), friends who hated me and who still hates me . Friends who always understand my childish attitude. Friends who I borrowed money (thank you)...and friends who borrowed from me who until now haven't paid me yet (tsk...tsk..tsk)... Friends whom I shared secrets with. What secret? uh...uh... that will be a secret. Friend who is near and far. Friends who I fall in "love" with...Booom!!!Paboto!... Friends who completes Pearly's roller coster life. Miss you all... hope you miss me somehow... Ö.Ö

I miss the festivals. Fiestas. Fiestas. Fiestas. Fiestas. Beers. Food. Disco. Drunk people everywhere. During this celebration, here happens the first kiss (kilig)... the last kiss (ouch!)... not only that... Sex happens...lol...no offend.. (heaven for the first time and prepare for the next big responsibility when eggs mets sperm ^__^ bow!)... and more, more fun but the most unforgettable one is HANG-OVER the next day plus sermon again from parents...

I miss the food. Oh God! Who would not miss the province food? Fresh and cheap and cooked by what I called the Master Chef ... mother and father.

I miss watching jeepneys and busses full of students on the roof... YES! you read it right!

Students used to ride jeepneys and busses going to school and going home. Why? because it's fun and sometimes students gets cheaper fare so they save some of their allowance.

I miss watching group of teenagers hanging out in the bakery shop or outside the school campus and waiting for their "crush" to pass by (naks). Group of teenagers planning to visit one of the waterfalls or one of the beaches and not to mention bringing along with them is the teenagers best-friend REDHORSE...but nowadays its upgraded...they bring Vodka! (sosyal ug mga tinae. peace!) and when they get there they got drunk and express more of their feelings. Mostly they're drinking because they were broken hearted or just simply to prove that they're old enough to drink or for fun (and when they get home expect sermon from  the parents).

I miss watching people working... hardworking people driving pedecabs, motor... driving for busy commuters for their everyday routine...mostly driving students who cut their classes to stroll around...fishermen preparing for the fishing net... staying the whole night in the sea hoping to catch plenty of fish to sell the next morning. People planting rice...teachers preparing to go to school to fail or pass their students (peace to all maam and sir ^_^) and to all the hard working people in province... a big appreciation to you all.

I miss my home town. I miss everything there whether its painfull memories or happy memories. I love my life now but that doesn't mean I'm turning my back from the place where I grow up, which became part of who I am now and a part of me still belongs there.

If there is a place where I can call home that would be Cabucgayan.

I miss the simple life in province. No stress at all. People have always time to gossip each others life...lol. It may not be a positive attributes but hey! I do miss the gossips....hahah.. I love to listen how people always exagerate the stories...Oh God Bless them.

Off to go to Nyhavn Copenhagen

from a distance, looking through the Copenhagen opera house



Nyhavn...imagine that on summer.



Wake up Copenhagen

Its the hotel where we stayed. So clean and fresh and just a 5-10 minutes
walk from the grand central station. The hotel is located at
the center of the city and is close to the Tivoli Garden.
A walking distance to the Town hall square,
and a perfect location if you want to roam around the city.
The personal were so friendly and very accomodating.
We never had a bad experience in this hotel. Surely we will
stay there again.

A winter visit in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark and is located in the islands of Zealand and Amager. The city Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö are growing into a combined metropolitan area.

My fiance and I visited the city some time around November of 2010. It was snowing and again, the cold weather did not stop us from roaming around the city. Though this time I did not took a lot of pictures (regrets...regrets...regrets...regrets). We will be back there for sure some time around summer´of this year (hopefully).

A little extra from Warsaw



I'm not a much a shopper but this shopping center really
attract me not because of the shops inside but
because of its structure.
It looks like  unproportioned butts and breast ^_^
The Zloty Tarasy/Golden Terraces



I forgot the name of this building but I remember that
we stop here on our way to Lazienki park.
Its a collection of different greek and roman God and Godesses.

Mermaid the symbol of Warsaw

I read and  heard about the story of the mermaid, the symbol of Warsaw. Accordings to the legends( and am telling you there are different version of this legend, but each version were kind of close enough and  still its interresting to hear and read. ) there were two mermaids who lived in the Baltic Sea. These half-fish, half-women were beautiful sisters who had spent their whole existence in the sea, apparently both got bored and one day decided to come ashore. The elder sister head to the Danish straits and so she sits at the entrance to the port of Copenhagen to this very day (I don't know yet the legend of Copenhagen mermaid but I'll try to find out). The younger mermaid swam first to the port of Gdansk, from there, she decided to swim to its very end of the Vistula river. She stopped swimming on the riverbank near the Old Town to rest. She found the place so admirable that she decided to stay. Local fishermen living nearby noticed that something was creating waves, tangling nets, and releasing their fish. Although their original intention was to trap the offender, they fell in love with the Mermaid upon hearing her sing. Later, a rich merchant trapped the Mermaid and imprisoned her in a wooden hut. A young fisherman heard the Mermaid’s cry and with the help of his mates, released her, whereupon she declared her readiness to offer fishermen her help whenever it would be needed. Ever since, the Mermaid, armed with sword and shield, has been ready to help protect the city and its residents.
