The NERBAC-CL Love Seat

Dito madalas tumambay ang mga NERBAC pips kapag inaantok, nagchi-chillout at syemps pag nagpapa-picture. Sofa moments. hehe.

Sunrise and Sunset in Bohol

My trip wouldn't be complete without seeing one beautiful sunset or sunrise and making sure that it is well documented. Good thing I was able to take shots before my digicam totally broke down (CCD problem according to a Canon employee). Poor camera, must have taken such a beating. I need to have it fixed before the next outing. And yes, I woke up early to see the sunrise.

Panglao and Balicasag Islands

March 30-April 1, 2008. We stayed in Dumaluan Beach Resort in Panglao Island but we also walked to nearby Bohol Beach Club for some of our photo-ops. We missed riding the banana boat by about ten minutes since the office at Bohol Beach Club closed down minutes before we got there, so we just experimented on kung-fu fighting scenes and buried my brother in the sand. On our first day in the island we also went dolphin watching before heading to Balicasag Island to snorkel and swim. I wish some days wouldn't end. I really miss Bohol (sigh).

Chocolate Hills in Bohol

March 29, 2008. I thought it would be possible to climb one of the hills thinking it was small. I was wrong. So we just flew over them instead. :p Yup, we flew (hehehe). No photoshop editing here, just camera tricks.

2007 Giant Lantern Festival

December 15, 2007. Eight barangays from the City of San Fernando joined the competition this year which was held at the SM Amphitheater, SM City Pampanga. I didn't expect our Barangay (San Nicolas) would make it to the top three. Barangay Telabastagan took home the 1st Prize despite being the newest participant, this year being only its second (?) time to join the competition. Barangay San Felipe, which was last year's winner, bagged the 2nd prize and Barangay San Nicolas got the third prize (finally, a win after so many years).

More Space for New Things

I finally got around to cleaning my closet and dispose some of the things I don't need and won't be needing. Thanks to Ate Ivee's insistence (courtesy of Lingkod's rummage sale thingamajigs, which by the way happens December 1 at Essel Park,  Telabastagan, City of San Fernando), I was able to motivate myself to sort out my clothes, shoes, bags and reading materials two weeks ago.

Though I know giving away some of my stuff was for a good cause, I can't help but feel a bit hesitant especially when I call to mind the memories attached to them. I also had a hard time deciding whether to give away this particular pair of skinny pants I love but rarely able to wear 'cause there's hardly any event I could wear it to. Now, it doesn't fit anymore but it crossed my mind to still keep it 'cause it might come in handy if I just lose a few pounds. Yes, I know that kind of reasoning always gets a lot of people hanging on to false hopes. Luckily, my better judgment took over.

It is a fact that if you keep a lot of old stuff in your closet, there won't be space for new ones. It’s also true in life.  You can't keep living in the past, so they say. There are things you don't need that others may want, things you want but have to dispose of 'cause it wouldn't serve its purpose anymore, things you thought you like but ultimately proves to be useless, things you lose for some reason, and yes, there are also things you still want to keep no matter how worn out and damaged they may be 'cause you still use them and they give you something no new things could ever replace. It’s kinda like the same with people. They come, they go, some you deliberately cut off from your life, others deliberately drop you, and only a handful stay. And these people that stay are the ones worth keeping, no matter how flawed they are. In apparel term, they're what you call "comfort clothes."

But what a relief it is to see all those empty hangers lying around. I just realized I've been keeping a lot of things that I don't need any more, things that someone else might find more useful. Now that I cleared some space in my closet and shoe rack, I guess it’s time to find new ones to fill it. What do I know; I might find a handful that would later become my comfort clothes.
