Warning: Pagsanjan Falls

Last Sept 9, Ariel's Group had a bonding in Pagsanjan Falls. Everybody's excited but only few was able to make it due to different reasons. Hay... mga filipino talaga. Mag-coconfirm tapos di sasama.

anyway...8am na us nakaalis sa Alabang. We have 2 visitors from India with us. Drive thru muna us sa Jollibee for Bfast then nung nasa bandang laguna na...the Indians bought Tshirts sa ukay-ukay (3 for 100).

Ok sana yung bonding kung wala lang mga masasamang tao.We are their victims.

Malapit na kami sa Sta. Cruz when there was a split road. There was a sign that going right is to Pagsanjan Falls. So lumiko kami then bigla us nagulat nung may kasunod na us na motor. Papuntang San Pablo daw yun and information center lang yung andun. Sunod daw kami sa kanila papunta sa Boat Station and Resort.

Malayo-layo pa pala papunta Pagsanjan. Mainit ulo ni hubby pagdating dun sa boat station. Para kasing sinadya yung sign board para malaman sino mga di kabisado lugar and they can bring you directly to their station.

The resort that they are telling us is not a resort that we are expecting of a resort. Parang isang motel lang sya. The Boat Ride was 660 each person pero since mainit daw ulo ni hubby kaya bigyan daw kami discount. 580 na lang daw.

13 lahat us and a boat can cater up to 3 passengers excluding the 2 boatmen. We occupied 10 boats. Nung paalis na us (nakasakay na sa boat) biglang nagsabi yung may-ari na nagbigay ng discount samin na since may discount na daw us, kami na daw bahala sa boatmen. Ha? Tinanong ni Ariel kung magkano pero mamaya na lang daw. Tignan na lang daw namin service nila. We are only thinking na TIP lang need nila kasi 660 na nga isang tao for the ride. We texted our friends who went there few weeks ago. 100 daw tip nila and they just bought them bottled water.

Kinulit ni Ariel yung Boatman namin and they said na $85 daw bayad ng mga foreigners and since di naman us tourist,kami na daw bahala.

The boatride was good. the views are good. Pero kakatakot pa rin kahit may lifevest na us kasi parang mahina na yung boats (made of wood).

Gulat us nung tumigil us...may stop over pa pala sa mid ng trip There was a store where they sell waters and grilled pork & chicken. Tatanong yung mga tindero kung bibili namin mga boatmen namin ng water. Ariel bought water for the our 10 boatmen.

Then we had some some picture taking..

Nung nakarating na us sa END line. We are not amused. Ok yung falls pero parang no place to swim naman. Then may add'l bayad pa to go the falls using a balsa (P90).

Di na us sumama ni Ariel dun sa may falls. Ayaw ko mabasa eh. para kasing walang mapagbibihisan na maayos. Kaya picture taking na lang us.

Medyo...1pm na nun kaya gutom na din us.But wala kami makakain dun kasi vegetarian yung mga indian na kasama namin kaya we decided to eat sa labas na lang.

Going back...tanung ulit si Ariel kung magkano para sa boatman.... sabi nung boatman...tapatan na lang daw namin yung mga tourist na P750 for each boatman. Huh?
Sabi ko kay ariel, wag na lang kausapin yung boatman at bigay na lang tip pagbaba namin.

Pagbaba namin.. ayaw tanggapin yung tip ng mga boatman. Katakut-takot na diskusyon nangyari. May kasama ba naman akong abogado eh.

Mga statements ni Ariel:
1. Boatride is already P660. Pwede ba kaming sumakay ng boat na walang magsasagwan for us.
*** nawawala na yung matandang nagbigay samin ng discount that time tapos yung nakatao sa table tell us to talk to the boatman.

2. P750 for each boatman is too much. We only had them for 3 Hrs. And di naman ata tama or pwedeng mas mataas pa sweldo nila samin as Engrs.

Kinatapusan... We gave them P200 each. Pero di pa rin ako sang-ayon kasi san napunta yun P660.

Anyway.. we will just charge this to experience and just give warnings to others.

Going back.. tinutukso ko si Ariel. Baka kasi kala nung mga mama dun, mayaman sya kasi mukha syang Chinese. Hehehe. tapos may kasama pa us na mga Indians.

Chowking sa Waltermart na lang us nakakain ng Lunch @ 3pm.
Then uwi na us... mga 6pm nasa house na kami. Tulog us then ... kinabukasan na us nagising!

Nung bumalik us sa office... I ask our friend about their exprience sa Pagsanjan.. Di naman daw sila na-harass. Mukhang yung specific na boat station na yun and may modus operandi na yun. Warning na lang po.

The name of the resort is Camino Real and/or Merra Inn. Kaka-suspetsa pa rin kasi 2 pangalan nila.Hmmp!

Addicted... Scrap-a-holic

Been to a lot of shopping for the past months for my scrapbook. Last Sept.17, was the best or worst although I know there would be more.

That saturday, we went to Ariel's Sister'st house to pick up his PC. He needs it for work since his Laptop Hard-disk Crashed. It's still being check by the vendor. We need this so we can go home early and just do the work @ home if needed.

From Cubao, we went to Megamall to meet my cousin. While waiting for her, I got to buy a lot of embellishments in Simple joy.

Then we went to carolinas to buy some ribbons. Those ribbons we bought were hubby's personal choice and I really could say that they are good. He also insisted to buy the cutter and long nose for my tools. Got to see also that nice embellishment container which is only 60pesos kaya binili na din namin. So... this is all that we've bought.

Sa carolinas na rin namin mi-neet yung cousin ko. May prior appointment pa sya kaya sandali lang din us usap.

Napadaan din us ITTI and binili na namin yung Slippers na nakita ko sa Southmall. Di ko kasi nabili dahil nakalimutan naming daanan bago umuwi.

Then punta na us sa SMILE. Just bought 3 Bazzill Papers and watched the girl doing a scrapbook for a customer for awhile.

We had our dinner in Yoshinoya. Na-miss ko yung beef. Wala kasi silang branch sa South although medyo ka-lasa din sya nung nasa Tokyo2.

Punta din us sa National Bookstore and bought sakura pens and buttons.

Addict na ba 'ko?

From Taiwan with Love

Ariel had been to Taiwan last June and August yet I was not able to blog the things he bought for me.

It was so thoughtful of him to remember me even he's miles away and buy me those things. On his 1st trip, he bought me a Tshirt. He also bought me thigh firmer and ankle support kasi lagi daw masakit paa ko. But the best of them all is this gym ball.

Pero I am still bad, never used it since then. So busy kasi with work and other stuffs. No wonder I got to gain 4 lbs. Kaya here I am trying to do atkins again. Its my 1st day today. Sana makatagal ako.

On his 2nd trip, I was surprised. He bought a lots of things for me. I just asked him to buy me an ID lace. But he bought those cute little butterfly clips, ID laces, little bottle for my Victoria Secret cologne, eye cover (hirap kasi ako matulog pag naka-On ang TV), Giordano Blouse and Shorts and a Lancome Make-up kit.

Tuwa talaga ako sa clothes and the make-up. Sabi ko kasi sa kanya, pag-uwi nya... punta us body shop, I want to shop for make-up coz I want to change image and cover the stress on my face. Galing ng baby ko.He was able to buy me that complete set. It comes with a pressed powder,blush-on, eyecolor, lipcolor, lipliner, eyeliner,and a maskara. Completo na diba?! Clap!Clap! Clap for my hubby! Mwah!

1.5 Year or Years?

Bago ko makalimutan. It is our 1.5Y Wedding Anniversary. We both felt sick this morning and forgot about the date. Hehehe. Sobra bang workaholic naming dalawa?!

Basta...at least naalala namin before lunch time and we're able to find time to celebrate.

Had Dinner in Dencio's in Robinson's Palapala. It was newly opened. There was a 1-man Band playing.

We enjoyed the dinner... Sisig, Pinakbet, Inihaw na Liempo, Bagoong Rice, Garlic Rice, Bottomless Icetea and Mango Flan.

Sira na naman diet ko. Bukas na lang ulit. Hehehe.

Happy Anniversary to US!!!

AWESOME COUPLE

Blessing in Disguise

Image hosted by Webshots.com

Ariel and I still have these meal coupons for our Company's 10th Year Anniversary last Friday.

It was blessing in disguise. Thanks to God. Our Company was "IN THE NEWs" both in Kapuso and Kapamilya Network last Saturday (although we were not able to watch it since we are not in our home that time). The news was not about any New Products that we're offering but because of the Food Poisoning that happened. Many were brought to the hospital. Three engineers of Ariel were affected. I got 2 of mine. Some of our friends were also affected including one of our principal sponsors.

Buti na lang ...., di kami nakakain sa canteen kasi mahina tiyan ni Ariel. I can still remember.... I was so mad that time coz I was so busy with work and just able to find time to eat @12:30 and the canteen is still full and the line for the food is still long. Before that event, we're already thinking how can they fit more than 1000 people in that cafeteria if its seating capacity is good for 200 to 400 people only. Buti na lang madami pa ring kumain sa labas. Else, super downtime for the company yun.

The caterer for the event was our very own concessionaire. They also handle the other big Companies in Gateway Business Park. The question now... is... what's NEXT? ... Dine In or Take Out? Drive thru na lang... Hehehe.

Ngayon ko lang din naisip...sayang yung galit ko.. hahaha.

i need a Break...

I am so tired. been to a lot of pressure. buti sana kung work lang pero there are also some people and some attitude that are giving me headaches.

well... for now i'll be good but once they pushed me to edge then i'll get even.

actually i have this song in my head:

tell me will i ever survive
stop this tears and keep it inside
holding back my self from being "MEAN" to "YOU".

Hay... mukha pa ba kong 25?!
