New Phone = New Responsibility

So, I've bought myself a new smart phone yesterday. It's my first phone to be honest. I've was never really interested in getting myself a new phone because I was frugal that way. However, my boyfriend was able to convince me to buy new phone since we will be seeing a lot of each other through Skype or any video calls available in the market.

Guess what my phone?

Samsung S4

I tried to access WiFi yesterday but to no avail I was not able to browse the internet. I learned that Samsung S4 has problem with WiFi connection. So I'm waiting for my activation of my globe plan. Which I will access within 1-3 days, so *crossfingers*.

Yesterday JR and I also watch Fast and Furious 6 at SM North Edsa. While waiting in the queue to buy tickets we noticed that there are many Senior Citizens waiting in line and I'm daydreaming. Getting ahead of myself there! I'm thinking how nice it is to grow old and watch movie together. Fast and Furious is a action packed movie, full of hulking muscles and big men. JR keeps on flexing his muscle to my amusement. *pinch*

This year I'll be saving a lot since I spend a lot on myself.

Off to experience Samsung S4, hopefully I'll be able to download good applications.

On Being Off Air

My spare time is increasingly becoming rare. My blogging time is getting eaten up by work, work and work. I haven't even had time to post a single entry on this blog. As such, my list for this month is somewhat unfair. This month marks the beginning of Budget Preparation in our agency (I work in government in case you didn't know), and also I've been busy being a businesswoman. I've recently started a photobooth business with my boyfriend. It was doing okay since we started offering it to the public, so I decided to add another service which is Balloon Arrangement. However, my life doesn't always revolve around work. I also went out with JR on a date, though mostly it's a "run date" (we're always running whenever we went on a date). Which is okay for me since I am trying to lose a few more pounds.

On May 19, 2013, we both run the Pace UP 2013 held at University of the Philippines, Diliman for a fun run event. I registered for a 10k since I am not conditioned to run a 16k, whereas JR opt to run for a 16k with a friend. I'll post more about the Pace UP 2013 on my next entry. 

I will try to post more often simply because it's one of my tools to improve my writing and sentence constructing. 

Amazing Singapore 2013

Singapore has always been on my travel list ever since I started working. This time I get to experience Singapore with my parents. During our 4 days trip was enough to enjoy and explore Singapore. We stayed in a budget hotel. We eat along the sidewalks (their food was good!) and travel on foot. The weather in Singapore was similar here in Philippines - hot! So I recommend a lot of sunblocks and water. 

We visited only the places that tourist normally go to - since we are on a budget. We always traveled via LRT (which pretty much like the LRT in the Philippines, but cleaner, more complicated and more safer). 

The citizens of Singapore composed mostly of Chinese (good thing I understand and speak Mandarin, though they also understand English), Malay, and Indians. The food were mostly mixed with chili spices and tofu.

We visited the Marina Bay Sands, Marina Barrage, Garden by the Bay, Sentosa Island (Universal Studios, Merlion), Merlion Park and Chinatown Village.

Below are the pictures of me enjoying Singapore:

Exploring Puerto Princesa 2013

Puerto Princesa pertains to the to a princess-like maiden who in the early days is said to have roamed around the place on certain nights of the year. On the other hand, its also pertains to the name to the geographical advantages of the place as a seaport – naturally protected the whole year round and endowed with a depth that can accommodate any size of shipping – a royal haven for vessels or a virtual princess of ports as thus indicated by Spanish colonizers on the country’s map.

My brother and I embarked on this journey during the rainy season of February. Puerto Princesa was popular because its very own Underground River was named one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Because of its popularity we weren't able to secure a permit to visit the said river because the place was recently hit by typhoon the day before. But I will return to the place to experience it. 

Our Puerto Princesa exploration is a novel experience because, we didn't have a tour guide, we just rely on research and our homemade itineraries. The first day was attributed to city tour. We visited most of the important part of the island. We go island hopping on our second day which takes most of our days. We just enjoy the city on the third day.
