stopped over at the cemetery last 25th November 2012 when we went to one of our local beaches in my hometown to celebrate my cousin ann's birthday:-) 
Goodbye My CVG Family
When i got hired by cvg three months ago, i found myself inside training room 10 with other new hired agents just like me, staring blankly at each other. From the very beginning, i told myself that i was there for work, nothing else. Looking at my wave mates, i said that i had nothing to do with them so i remained distant. Considering my personality, I just dont like minggling with people i barely know more than their faces and names.
I didnt really bother knowing them at all because i knew for myself that everything i would have with cvg wasnt something but transitory. I wouldn't want to be all emo when my time to leave had come. I hate saying goodbyes to people i have attached myself with so i'd rather be alone than allow myself to be close with someone.
Time really flew so fast that i hadnt realized that i had to go soon. I only had one problem then. I came to love everything about cvg. The people im working with, the company itself, the salary and benefits and the team (Team Ostimos) i was in. The wave mates i thought i would never give time to know better has eventually become the biggest part of the happiest memory i had working at cvg.
At the same time, here came the opportunity i had been waiting for..to be able to start a nursing career with rmci (dpotmh). I would have kept both if i could but i had to pick just one. As i always say to myself: i have to give up something if i want something more...
Sacrifices and Investments. Two things i had to deal with when i chose between cvg and rmci. I had to sacrifice all the things i had with cvg including the friendship i have made and the fun and perks of being a cvg employee to invest a future with rmci. I weighed things over and this is the path ive chosen. There's no turning back now no matter how rocky this road will become. I will have to just move forward, hang on and go on.
Right now, im sitting in one of the corner cubicle of the library of rmc, listening to snow patrol's signal fire. Im killing time until our CEP orientation resumes at 10:30am.
♬no i dont want to wait forever...♬
This is one thing i dislike about break time. It allows me to be by myself unable to deal with my longing.. i cant block my memory from going back to the late night joke sessions we had at Garden or Select. I can vividly picture out how the guys sang songs like pros.. im still going back to my last memory with them at robinson's and ice's family ktv. I definitely am missing my cvg family soooo much.sigh.
Wherever they are, the bond ive made with each one with them will always stay strong in me. though separated by the kind of job we have, we are still friends.
On wednesday, i will go back to cvg to settle everything for me to be cleared. That's going to be when i will finally be over with cvg.
PS. thank you so much my Team Ostimos family. Im so lucky you were the ones i met. You made my short stay in cvg worth to remember in a lifetime.♥♥♥
Ice Cream Sandwich OS
i really thought that updating my device to the latest version of android would make it easier for me to access the market when it comes to games and apps and all but it was a big mistake. if i could only just turn back to the time when i had gingerbread..now, i cant even have google play to download apps from! when i try to download it with the browser, it would just tell me that it would be downloaded shortly but it wouldnt.
also, texting is difficult with the qwerty pad. qwerty sucks big time! if it only has a phone pad for txting, i wouldn't mind not being able to download from google play.
The good thing about ICS 4 is that i can capture screenshots like the picture i posted. I can open several tabs when im browsing and i can post blog through my web browser like im just using a regular web browser in my pc.
After much effort of looking and reading thru blogs, forums and sites, i was able to fix my issue. I get to open go0gle play now. In fact, Im using BlogIt! in posting this entry.haha!
LG L3
I know that the picture is random but i just want to post something that i have created with my new phone, LG L3.
My LG gc900 finally died on me after alm0rt 3years of being my reliable blogging tool. I'm sad to let go of it and use another cellphone but I cannot deny the fact that it cannot function as perfect as it used to be. Although all the features of the phone is okay, its capability to use the SIM services such as texting and calling has long gone. It doesn't recognize the SIM any longer. Messaging is important to me even though I don't txt or call a lot.
Last Friday was payday so I closed my eyes and just bought the unit my money can buy. I'm usually broke so I don't want to really buy something out of my wants only..that's what I'm starting to learn: live with what you earn. Save. Though I feel a little sad about the fact that I still end up spending almost of what I have, I felt a bit okay when I finally got to touch and navigate through it.
I enjoy the android apps and games that I downloaded from the market. I like the camera softwares like cymera and picsart a lot. Since I like blogging, BlogIt! makes it easier for me to do that. Just like this post. I can post pictures and customize the fonts, which I did not do.haha!
I guess the only drawback with LG L3 is that it has a very small memory space for the downloaded softwares. It was limited to within 300mb, total size of all the games. The 1G phone memory and my 4G memory are rendered useless because it doesn't support saving of files in them. All it eats up is the 300mb RAM instead.
It was frustrating at first because I did not expect this. I love playing games but because of this, I only get to keep what? 5 apps and a game in my phone preloaded of all Google apps I don't want to use. It's like I get to keep things I don't want and wish for the apps I'd dearly want to have.
I read of mounting the memory but it would void the device guarantee so I need to be contented with it as of now. I'd die looking for more patience because I don't think mine would even last for a month before I mount it.
I just thank that I have easy way of posting my blogs now. This alone is enough to make my day.haha! Ü

Whale Shark Watching
Like what i said in my previous post, c0nie, naldo (c0nie's brother), naldo's c0worker, c0nie's aunt and their c0usin, irene and i went to tan-awan to go whale shark watching!
Yehey! Im really happy i was able to go there because i had s0o0o0o0o0o0o0o much fun at 0.00 php c0st! Sounds great right?Ü
The lodging was supp0sedly a minus 650 php fr0m my budget.
Whale watching and swimming c0uld have c0st me 500 php but i got it at zero expense. C0nie's aunt sh0uldered the payment of the ro0m and c0nie payed my whale shark adventure for just 30php. That's because locals pay 30php 0nly. Hehe! And i g0t free super delici0us meals to0!
When we arrived in tan-awan, we joined the orientati0n then payed the fee. We b0arded the b0at and the b0atman to0k us to the sea where the whale shark were. It wasnt l0ng bef0re the whale sharks swam to our side.
Irene and i were swimming when conie shouted at me that the shark was coming my way. i dipped my head to see if it was true and thanks to my memory, i could still remember it vividly!
It was swimming t0wards me. I was stoned in ast0nishment to see h0w big and scary its head. it looked so vicious that all i could do was scream and swim for the life out of me.
It was like 4ft away fr0m me thats why i didnt have en0ugh time to calm myself and remember what the orientati0n discussed ab0ut what to do when this happens. I s0rt of scream and hurriedly pull myself out of the water.hahaha! it was then i realized that everyone was laughing at me.

Oslob (august 18-19, 2012)
Last saturday, i took the 7.15am trip to cebu to forget h0w my CCT training ended (chris and mommy jo, two of my g0od friends in training didnt make it and it just tore my heart to see them sad, unable to c0ntinue the j0urney with us) and to simply make use of my l0ng weekend. i dont get to have this everyday..
 |
| this ruin is really captivating especially that it is overlooking an equally captivating view of the ocean.. |
I decided to go there to finally keep the pr0mise i made to Mama Mary that i would go to Her shrine in Sib0nga, Cebu city; and my pr0mise to myself that i would go whale watching in Oslob.
 |
| i like taking pictures of architectural designs |
 |
| though this is simple, i like it so much. id like to build a house that the trusses are also seen. |
I was so lucky that when i went there, the people was celebrating their t0wn fiesta. Since it was fiesta, all the inns and lodging h0uses were full of merry-making tourists. I went there without letting my friend, c0nie, know ahead of time so she wasnt able to reserve a r0om for me.
 |
| this one too.. this has become their cafeteria or something like a gazebo for special occassions |
Fortunately, her aunt and c0usin went there, to0. instead of getting a r0om, they shared their r0om t0 me. It was a family r0om so there were emty beds for me to log myself 0n to (free things are w0nderful, right? Ü)
 |
| conie and her childhood friends.. |
Aside fr0m that, f0od was like EVERYWHERE! it was fiesta so grumbling st0mache was never a pr0blem. Eating all the f0od was! Ü
The f0ll0wing day, we went to Tan-awan to be in the best part of the w0rld..the beach!
 |
| when i first visited the place, it was not developed yet. the church was burned and all i could see was ruins of spanish infrastructures like the one on the left side. |
 |
| now, it is called quarttel |
 |
| isnt it nice? sitting on one of those benches on one sunny day looking at the vast blue sea, freeing yourself and your mind from all distressing thoughts of day to day life in the city.. |
 |
| breaking free from all the troubles and just feel the soft misty air brush on your skin..ah life!!! life is simple if you try to see it in a less complicated way. i love how life pass in this town... |
Simala Church
Going to Simala Church has been in my wish list for a very long time. i first knew about this church when i took my licensure exam in cebu city in 2008. my friends who were also taking the exam that time invited us to come with her to light a candle for the exam in simala church because it is well known to be miraculous..but i wasnt a believer during that time so i didnt go.
When i got my first job in Lifecebu, the teacher who was previously occupying my room drooped by to get some of her things and told me stories about it. In fact, she and her boyfriend who was diagnosed of having leukemia was devoting their time to go there for some miracles to shine upon them. a week later, she came back and showed me a picture of which she had taken from the shrine. it was her and her boyfriend with the church at their back. she said there was a sign in the picture. i couldnt see what she was talking about until she turn her cellphone upside down. to my shock, the clouds formed Jesus Christ's figure!!!
That's when i started believing.. I promised that i would visit it one of those days but it wasnt able to do it. for some reasons, i couldnt find a time to go there so i would just look at it from the window of the bus i was on going home to bacolod city.
And last Saturday, all my frustrations of going there has finally come to an end! Thank you Lord for helping me keep my promise after all these years..
 |
| taken from the entrance of the church. it was so huge that it looked like a castle in the mountain. |
 |
| this is Mama Mary's giant figure |
 |
| i didnt have enough time to fall in line to the front stair so i decided to just take the steps beside the church . i was basically just following the stream of people because i was afraid id be lost if go on my own. |
 |
| i bought some of these too. for karylle kat and yvette. but i wonder if i ever remember giving them those.jijiji! |
 |
| after lighting green, white and black candles, i sat and bid a short prayer for my exam, for enlightenment and forgiveness of the souls of my loved ones who passed away |
 |
| so exhausted.. |
 |
| i was trying to take pictures of the line i wanted to join when i first came. it's just 1/3 of the people because there were also people falling in line at my back going to the other stairs... |
 |
| see how long the line was? |
 |
| the 3pm sunlight was just blinding. i couldalmost pop my eye bags |
 |
| i have to leave the earliest time possible or else i would have to spend the night in one of the inns in dumaguete just in case i miss my bus.. |
