So I'll just write a Time-table here to show you how my trip to Zamboanga went. =]
First of all, the reason why I went to Zamboanga was because I wanted to experience long travels and since my mom has a Mindanao Congress there, I took the chance.
We were supposed to take the plane which will take around 30-45 minutes from Davao to Zamboanga but I thought it'll be too boring if we'll do that so I told mom that I wanted to travel by bus. Since land travel takes around 18-20 hours from Davao to Zamboanga. Plus, you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of nature!

8:30 pm
Mom and I went to the Davao Terminal to catch the 10pm bus. We went early because mom wanted to sit in front.
10:00pm
The bus started it's six-hour journey to Cagayan de Oro via Buddha. At around 11pm, we reached Buddha and since it rained that night, the road was so foggy with zero-visibility that the bus has to slow down to avoid any unecessary accidents. Then I slept afterwards.
February 21, 2008
4:00am
We reached Cagayan de Oro. We took a Multicab going to the other terminal where we will wait for three hours for the first trip to Zamboanga. It wasn't a long wait because I had fun at Dunkin' Donuts which was open for 24 hours.
6:30am
The bus going to Zamboanga arrived and mom and I sat in front once more. The television went on and we had some Resident Evil marathon.
7:00am
Bus started its journey to Zamboanga. I wondered how would it feel to be inside the bus for 12 hours. haha! Sun Cell signal went down.
9:00am
We stopped over at "Iligan" terminal. We stayed for around 30 minutes there because the door of the bus was fixed.
9:30 am
Journey restarted. We stopped over several terminals and we passed by several known cities such as Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Zamboanga del Sur, Pagadian, Sibugay, Ipil.
8:00pm
Finally! We arrived at Zamboanga terminal. Mom and I expected to see a cab pass by but we were surprised when they told us that there were no regular taxis there and that we have to take the "tricycle" to be able to go where we wanted to go.
8:20pm
we arrived at La Casa Maria. The hotel that was booked by mom's congregation for us to stay in. Finally, I can tuck in with a nice bed.
10:00pm
I went to sleep as I realized it has been almost 24 hours that I was awake with only little nap times.
February 22, 2008
8:00am
I woke up and mom said we should hurry so we could go out and explore the city.
9:30 am
We went to Jollibee to have our breakfast. I was talking to Nicca on the phone. Then we went to the "bayan" or what we call downtown here in Davao to explore the mall. So the Mindpro Citimall, the beautiful Immaculate Conception Cathedral and the Ateneo de Zamboanga University were located there.
10:00am
We went inside Mindpro Citimall. I was amazed because I felt like I was in Spain inside the mall because the department store music was in Spanish and the announcements and poster warnings were in Spanish and yeah, people speak Chavacano, the broken Spanish language that only Zamboanga people could speak.
11:30am
We had lunch at the Foodcourt then we went back to the hotel to rest. Indeed, I was still tired after the 21-hour journey that we had from Davao the other day.
February 23, 2008
Mom went to her Congress at 8am and I went out on my own to Mindpro at around 9:30 am to meet Apple! Yeah, I met my daughter for the first time!
She was busy that day so we weren't able to spend a lot of time together. We only had a little chat at the foodcourt and she told me the places worth going into in Zamboanga. At around 11:30 am, she already left for her business and so, I ate my lunch and went out to Fort Pilar.
Apple told me that the Fort was made years ago to prevent the invasion as Nuestra Sra. del Pilar saved the Zamboanga people.
The fort has a shrine. A very beautiful shrine where you can pray and light a candle. It also has a National museum, but the museum was closed because it was the weekends.
I was supposed to go to Pasonanca. A park near Apple's abode but the heat of the sun was melting me so I decided to go back to the hotel and probably just go out again in the afternoon.
But I fell asleep and woke up at around 4 pm. I was so damn beat so I decided not to go out anymore and I waited for mom to come home and we ate dinner at the hotel restaurant.
February 24, 2008
Mom went to her Congress again and I just stayed back at the hotel and watched Disney Channel until 12 noon. We checked out of the hotel, had our lunch and went to the terminal for our next journey to Iligan.
Since the Iligan-bound bus will leave at 6pm, we took the Pagadian-bound bus and when we got there at around 7pm, we took another bus to Iligan.
We arrived at Iligan at around 12 midnight and we fetched a Public Utility (PU) car. He took us to another hotel and we booked him to bring us to Ma. Cristina Falls and Tinago Falls the next day.
I dropped onto the bed and fell asleep after a while.
February 25, 2008
I woke up at around 6am with a beat head but I was immediately filled with excitement as I though about our plans for this day.
We checked out of the hotel at around 8am and kuya Jeffrey, the PU driver fetched us and took us on tour.
I was amazed because Iligan has this Kalesa or a horse-drawn carriage and kuya Jeffrey told us that it was actually being used as transportation around downtown Iligan.
Then our next stop was the Maria Cristina Power Plant. It was known in the Philippine Education that the Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan is the number one source of energy in Mindanao. In fact, it supplies around 40% of energy in Davao City.
We were toured inside by the guard and I was amazed at how beautiful the Falls was. The guard said that that wasn't fully opened yet because they fully open the dam every Sundays at around 11 in the morning. We went there Monday.
But even if it wasn't on full blast, I still found it wonderful and I was thankful at how well the people in Mindanao was able to think of ways to use nature in our necessities.
Then afterwards, we were taken to Tinago Falls, another Iligan wonder. Kuya Jeffrey briefly told us about the history of the falls. He said that at around Year 2000, the resort was fully developed. There was a mini zoo and there were cottages for overnight staying.
But it was foreclosed by the bank and afterwards, it was owned by the government and the development stopped. The animals in the zoo were taken away and the cottages weren't maintained.
Indeed, when we got there, I was disappointed with the resort and surprised that with only a 10 PHP entrance fee, we will already be able to go and enjoy the falls.
We went down 265 steps accompanied by the falls guide named Joel. He's gay, by the way.
It was such a tiring journey but everything was wiped away when I was finally able to see the falls. It was such a beauty and no matter how bad the resort up above looked, it was nothing compared to how amazing the falls looked.
A lot of people say that this falls was enchanted because there were already a lot who drowned and died while bathing in. But Joel told us that most of the visitors who drown there were those who swim without lifevests and men who go and explore the midst of the falls without anything to protect them.
So I took my lifevest and started swimming down the falls. Indeed, even though I knew how to swim, the strong current from the falls scared me and made me realize that lifevests sure are helpful. Because even though you knew how to swim, if you aren't familiar with the place, it'll really feel different and really scary.
So I didn't have much fun swimming around the falls because I was alone. I mean, it would have been really really fun if I was with friends or my family. So I told my mom that we should definitely go back there with my cousins.
So at around 12 noon, we took the 265 steps up back to civilization. Kuya Jeffrey drove us to Cagayan de Oro where we took the 3:00 pm bus back to Davao City.
We arrived home at around 10 pm and the rest was history. What I've said, I definitely will go back to Zamboanga soon with my cousins and of course, enjoy the beauty of Tinago Falls in Iligan once again.

Oh how these three legendary Chipmunks love Christmas!
Ok, let's say the movie wasn't a total 5-stars for me but Alvin, Simon and Theodore are!
They totally rock especially their cute little voices!
The movie was quite disappointing though but yeah, thanks to the great Chipmunk acting, I was able to sit through it until the end.
Alvin, simon and Theodore were not your typical chipmunks. Because they don't only talk English, they can also sing.
That brought them to fame but fame has all it. For these little kids have been abused for money.
Oh well karma has it for the abuser Uncle Ian but cuteness has it for these three "rodents" expecially Thodore! =]
A rich corporate businessman and a normal auto mechanic met in the room that they were sharing at the hospital and shared the same fate. Both have cancer and only had 6 months to live. And both had the same goals listed in their Bucket List.
This movie tells us the story of how to live life to the fullest while you were alive. That means living in both the material world and the emotional world.
Travel all you want, do extreme stunts as much as you can, appreciate the beauty of nature and the people around you.
It may be not your normal teen movie but this story can really move you emotionally as you watch how these two different personalities share the same happiness and satisfaction in life.
This movie can really help you appreciate what you've got and try things that you would never dare try as you live in the earth.
It was definitely heart-warming and I salute Freeman and Nicholson's wonderful acting.

That title wan't really mine. I got it from this BLOG. I just wanna share the comment that I replied in his blog which goes...
In the light of all the hulabaloo that surrounds Philippine politics right now, allow me to speak up, though my voice may seem small. I'm gonna do it bulleted style. I'm too scattered to construct my thoughts the old fashioned, paragraphed paradigm. So here it is.
* Gut feel tells me not to COMPLETELY BELIEVE everything Jun Lozada is saying.
*It is a given fact that the Philippine bureaucracy is rotten. But that did not start during the Arroyo administration. I know all of us wanted a change, who doesn't, right?!
*Another People Power Revolution won't solve the age-old problem!!!!!!!! Unity is the answer!
*I don't think Cory Aquino is really nationalistic. If she (and the oppositionists) is really nationalistic, she would have thought of the disgust and the bad effect it would have on our economy. Political instability is a big factor in delaying the country's economic growth and we are so fetching good at that!!!!
*We need to get our act together if we all want positive difference!!!!
*But please, no more rallies again. Those things make me numb and apathetic.
And this is my reply:
sometimes, real life can be like those TV series that we watch nowadays. not all TV series were fictional. and so much like a drama as it may seem, what's happening in our politics is definitely real...
but sometimes, i couldn't help but hope that as i watch those senate hearing on TV and such, i could fast forward everything so i may know what'll happen in the end.
i sometimes hope that jun lozada's point of view could be seen 24/7 so i may know about what he was thinking and for me to 100% believe everything he was saying.
as i watch jun lozada deliver his "speech" as what they say, part of me believes that he is telling the truth. in fact, all of me is trying to believe that he was saying was true.
but also, i couldn't supress the fact that sometimes, i hope that i can actually penetrate his mind and read all his thoughts as he speak, so i may know if he really was telling the truth or not.
all these conspiracy happening to our government nowadays are just making the economy more complicated. i admit i want to believe jun lozada and i admit that i am also against GMA's regime but don't you guys think that instead of thinking about whether GMA should stay or not; instead of telling the whole country on whom to believe, we should just go and do something to help our economy rather than skulking along the streets, rallying for what we believed was right?
i have nothing against rallies and such, what i was trying to impose was that i guess it was better to just DO SOMETHING rather than SCREAM SOMETHING...
for i believe that CHANGE can only be done if we work...not if we talk... =]
haha! well i was just sharing. click on the link aboive to view the original posts and thanks to the owner of that blog for allowing me to express what i wanna express. =]

Never Forget...Never Forgive. Indeed, revenge is sweet!
Another outstanding performance from the hottest Hollywood icon, Johnny Depp. This Tim Burton film tells a story about a man who came back for revenge, only to find out that he has done enough damage to make him a demon.
Many people don't appreciate the story of this movie because it may seem weird. But hey, it's Tim Burton, alright! His movies may be weird but they were all spectacular.
Plus, the TIM BURTON film loved actor has created another legend in this musical. Indeed, Johnny Depp has his own charm to make Sweeney Todd someone hot yet evil!
I salute Tim Burton for actually collaborating with Johnny Depp in his past movies including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the latest animated film before the recent, Corpse Bride. He really made the right choice of letting Johnny Depp act the main roles of the said movies for they have become most realistic because of his magnificent acting skills.
No wonder, every single Johnny Depp film could really earn a lot, not only because he could act great but also because he could make such movies great without even showing a lot of effort on it.

Perya...Carnival...A place where everyone becomes a child. It was used in the Pinocchio movie to lure kids onto a trap by Stromboli. Wondered why? Because carnivals really attract a lot of people, children and adults alike.
There are what we call Amusement Parks which I believe is almost a hundred percent different from a carnival. An Amusement Park is more well-known, more modernized and I admit, safer.
Most carnivals I know were those called mobile carnivals where they transfer from one place to another, trying to earn as much money as they can.
And since Davao City is deprived of Amusement Parks such as the Enchanted Kingdom and Star City, we were really amazed when the carnival was risen beside NCCC Mall.
But as I've said, it was a whole lot different from an Amusement Park, but it was fun, especially the "pasugalan" center where you go and bet on a color you want and if the color was chosen, then you can win double or triple the money you bet.
There were also rides and i tried that "Roller Coaster" thing that they had which of course was a hundred percent scarier than real roller coasters. Why? Because of the fact that you'll get scared out of your wits hoping that the trail or your car will hold its position while you're running! haha!
But nonetheless, we got out of it, safe. we had the same thrill anyway, same butterflies in the stomach feeling as the coaster dropped down and yeah, almost the same satisfaction as from the real ride.
Me and my cousin Jane weren't able to enjoy the carnival much last night because oldies were with us, and they were like wanting to go home early already.
So hopefully tomorrow, I'll go back there with Jane still and Jannah. Ü

First time to work there and poof! SALARY'S DELAYED! Holy shit! I really can't believe they'll be doing this to me. I mean think about it. It isn't supposed to be a company salary. It's only a personal salary and yet they couldn't give it on time? What? On the 14th? Then would they make sure that they'll add 14 days worth in that delayed salary? Dammit! It was my first time to work there and then I'll get this treatment?
Ok so yeah. My friend and I are going to Club Z tomorrow to ask and ask and ask and probably fuck those guys out!!
I guess it was better to just go back studying. At least allowance don't come late!

That a former high school classmate and I would get together because of th same interest? And that is...KOREA!Yes, Anne Louise or most popularly known in high school as Lot-Lot and I have been communicating with each other again after we found out that we both have this craziness with Korean stuff!
Only...She was a lot better than me! Haha. But I'm learning though. So yeah. It was such a surprise that after around three years of not communicating much, we've actually been brought together by the word, KOREA. The thing I most love.
So we've been working together as English tutors this time and it was a really cool experience especially for me to get really familiar with the thing that most interests me.
So Lot-Lot and I have been getting along well together lately because of this so called craziness. I just can't believe that someone I knew would actually share the same interests with me as I've been journeying alone lately when it comes to Korean Enthusiasm.
Seeing the trailer of this movie before, I thought that this is gonna be just another of those Fantasy stories that would disappoint me, just like the Bridge to Terabithia.
But I was surprised at how good the story went. Well, not to mention Nicole Kidman's stunning beauty. This was some kind of a Fantasy story for it didn't actually hide the fact that magic or the supernatural exists. Instead, it showed an entirely different world where everyone knew about the existence of talking animals and supernatural beings such as witches.
The movie was really for kids but for adults as well for I actually tried my best to watch this on the little screen known as the portable DVD player, trying hard to listen to the conversations so I would be able to understand the story.
And through this, I was finally able to understand the real meaning of the Golden Compass. That is, to find the truth and to disapprove the heresy being brought upon the worlds by the Magesterium or commonly known as the government.
This may be a Fantasy movie but as I deeply understood the meaning of the story, I would say that somehow, it could also be rlated to the real world where truth was always hidden from innocent people by the government themselves who run these people.
There are certain persons who wanted to find the truth. Who wanted to go against the government's will and even through death, they will try to fight just in search for the truth. The truth that we knew exist yet believe that doesn't.
