Since our Cebu escapade is cancelled because of unavoidable circumstance, we are now planning to visit another "Cebu" this November.
Lake Sebu is one of the tourist spots in South Cotabato, Philippines. December to January are said to be the best months to visit Lake Sebu.
Lake Sebu is seated 3,000 feet above sea level. Boating around the lake is what I want to try, besides eating grilled tilapia (yum yum).
I'm also excited to take photos of Seven Waterfalls located away from Lake Sebu. A hiking trail is available that would lead up to the mountain. But I doubt if we could still go hiking because of limited time.
So far, I only hear good things about Lake Sebu.

My friends and I are planning to visit Cebu on the third Sunday of January 2010, which is in time for the Sinulog Festival. And now, I'm looking for a cheap airfare. The cheaper airfare I could find is offered by Cebu Pacific. Its PHP 988 Go Lite Fare promo has a sale period from October 24 to 27 2009 and a travel period from December 1, 2009 to February 28, 2010.
Go Lite Fare is offered for guests who travels without checked-in bags. A carry-on bag should not exceed 7 kilograms.
Philippine Airlines, on the other hand, does not have that kind of promo rate. So if I'm going to travel with PAL, I'll be spending PHP 2,132 to go to Cebu and PHP 1,417 to go back to Davao. But I can travel with a checked-in baggage.
With the cheaper airfare of Cebu Pacific, I might be teaming up with them in going to Cebu for the celebration of Sinulog Festival. Is it a good choice or not?

What I Know About The Philippines: By An American
Goodbye For Now, Former President Corazon Aquino
Obama’s campaign during last year’s election utilized social media. Social media networks are media created to be distributed using social interaction. Furthermore, social media networks support the need of an individual for social interaction through the use of the Internet. It was a smart choice for President Barack Obama for choosing the web as his to way to reach millions of Americans worldwide.
He made use of inexpensive but powerful way of disseminating his future plans for the United States Of America. And his followers responded by generating buzz using social media. Because of that, Obama’s hits on the Internet were organic. Through social media, Obama became popular not just in the US but also in other countries.
A report called Obamanomics came out to study such wide success of social media in Obama’s campaign. The said report acceded to the fact that Obama’s way of reaching out to the American people changed the Internet landscape. Bloggers and fans worldwide showed their support for Obama through their own blogs, as well as the social media networks.
The victory of Obama has just proven the usefulness of social media in helping individuals achieved their goals. Through social media, you can promote your talents and skills or interact with other people with the same interests as you have. Socia media indeed made a difference to the lives of human beings.

This contourback styling of Speedo is similar to the swimsuit that I'm wearing. But because my back, arms, and legs are overly exposed to the sun using that suit, I'm now looking for a full-length swim suit (long leg and arm length) to cover my entire body except my face, neck, hands, and feet.
Then, I saw this Women's Incense Long Leg Swimsuit of Speedo which would fully suit my needs. Unfortunately, this full length swim suit of Speedo doesn't fit my budget (£50). However, rash guard paired with leggings made from nylon can be a good alternative to Speedo's long leg, arm length swim suit, according to my swimming instructor. And it is a relief knowing that rash guards and leggings are not as costly as Speedo's swimsuit.But I would still buy that full-length swimsuit of Speedo, when money is no longer an issue. :)
My friend forwarded me an email attaching these photos. They were just in time to put a smile on my face while my world is in turmoil.

If you were a reporter, how long could you keep your source's identity? This was the gist of Nothing But The Truth movie. Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale who was named by Esquire Magazine as the sexiest woman alive) was imprisoned for not disclosing the identity of her source after her article about the findings of a covert CIA operative hit the newsstand.
At first I could not understand Rachel's adamancy in Nothing But The Truth movie that caused her husband to accidentally fall in love with another woman while Rachel's still in prison. The last time she saw her son was on the first day of her incarceration and she hasn't seen him since then. She's willing to give up everything just to protect her source's identity.
If I were Rachel, I think I would hand over the identity of my main source to the FBI to avoid durance. But not Rachel. Her reason? You better watch Nothing But The Truth movie to better understand Rachel's stance.

It was this photo of Jennifer Aniston wearing a pair of Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille Wedge that converted me into an Espadrilles aficionado.
Espadrilles originated from France and Spain. Traditionally, they are flat shoes in natural colors. They are known to have soles made out of straw or wood, while the tops are usually made out of fabric. By adding ribbon and platforms to the traditional style, Yves St. Laurent remodeled the espadrilles into a fashionable shoe.
It is difficult to find a good pair of espadrilles here in Davao. I wish I could travel to Manila soon and visit Sueno de Espadrilles at the Podium where espadrilles are widely available.

Perhaps, you just graduated from college and are now looking for a job that would satisfy your needs. You are probably looking for information about how to write a resume that would impress future employer. You are almost there, ready to catch your dream but you forgot something—how to dress up for a career advantage.
Grooming may seem unnecessary to some individuals. However, according to a recent survey commissioned by Gillette and conducted by Harris Interactive, 84% or 420 out of 500 HR professionals are of the same mind that well-groomed employees are more likely to achieve success than those who are not well-groomed.
Furthermore, the survey showed that 99% of HR professionals find proper grooming as more important than firm handshake. In order to fortify the findings of the said survey, Gillette collaborated with Mark Jeffries, a career expert, and Brett Fahlgren, GQ style correspondent, to provide expert advice for men who want to land in the job (well-compensated) that they want and for guys who want to get ahead in their current careers.
Job seekers and professionals may now review expert advice of Mark and Brett and read the Hire Guide to know what is really in the minds of HR professionals. Gillette Career Advantage provides Gillette Career Quiz that you can take to evaluate your potential.
You may visit Gillette Career Advantage to use the tools, information and advice given to help you achieve what you desire. You can also review the findings of the survey and press release and get hold of the grooming and career expert advice at Gillette Resource Center.

And off we went to Robinson's Highlands Country Club, Davao City-- a five-minute drive from our house. The place was ritzy, though it needs improvement. It has a function hall for wedding reception or any social events. Downstairs, you can find their 6-feet deep swimming pool and courts for basketball and lawn tennis.
It was still a quiet place when we arrived, with only three employees present. But as we enjoyed swimming, we heard the arrival of some guests, who will be using the function hall. But we were still alone, enjoying the satisfying water temperature of the pool. However, we needed to cease our enjoyment because of the sun's painful heat and our skin color became darker—darker than tan.
Anyway, Robinson's Highlands is an exclusive subdivision for the affluent families. Inside that for-rich-only village, we saw the supposed white, glass house of the Pambansang Kamao, Manny Pacquiao, near the country club. We didn't see Manny (he's still in Baguio for training) or Aling Dionesia outside that very expensive abode.
By the way, the swimming pool fee for adults is PHP 60, while a child below 12 years old should pay PHP 40. The fee is slightly lower when you are a homeowner of Robinson's Highlands. Robinson's Country Club is still new, so the place is still clean. And we plan to go back probably in October.

I started playing lawn tennis again. Is it my way of venting my frustrations or healing the wound of my cardiovascular organ? Not necessarily. But I think I need to be out in the scorching heat of the sun often to generate vitamin D and to maintain my ideal weight in accordance with my height.
Lawn tennis involves a lot of running and strokes are different from badminton. The racquet for lawn tennis is heavier than the badminton's. This is the reason Steffi Graf or Maria Sharapova has wider shoulder and bigger arms.
Although the backhand stroke is said to be the weakness of almost all Filipino tennis players, my two-handed backhand stroke is better than my forehand stroke. And when I play lawn tennis, I am not inflammable, unlike Serena Williams who was penalized for showing tantrums over a foot fault.
But lawn tennis is not the sport of choice for people who are afraid of getting darker skin. However, you can still play this game without fear of 'transforming your white skin complexion' because lawn tennis can be played in a covered court. In Davao, the only covered court we have is in Dona Vicenta Subdivision, near Victoria Plaza.
As long as you enjoy playing lawn tennis, doesn't matter whether you will get tanned or not. What counts most is that you lose weight and gain friends.

That is according to Barbara Walters. And I agree with her.
Do not throw away your precious one hour or so by watching this film.
However, if you enjoy watching wagging male reproductive organ, then by all means devour your time with Bruno.
I do not find Bruno as funny either. The funny scenes were forced and the jokes didn't tickle my brain.
But I like how Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Bruno, portrayed his role. The raising of his eyebrows is just amusing.
Nonetheless, it is semi-porn. As per Barbara's advice: Do not take your kids.
But I will add… unless you can strategically explain that Bruno is just a form of art.

During the Kadayawan culmination day, Rey Winston, his girl friend (or girlfriend?) and I went out to watch the movie UP courtesy of '2+1'. I never thought UP would be remarkable that I learned two important lessons from this film-- perseverance and sacrifice.
If you have a dream, you have to take that dream out of the drawing board and make it a reality. However, reaching your dream may not be that easy. There are obstacles you have to defeat. And sometimes, those obstacles are intentionally given to remind you that your goal may not bring you complete happiness. And those obstacles are a way for you to reach your true happiness in life. You may sacrifice your dream but you know it's worth it.
After seeing that heartwarming film, we ate at Blue Carabao, Davao City branch. It's a 'maka-masa' eatery—you know the type of place where you may catch HC. And after eating hinalang without spice, squid adobo and lechon kawali, we headed to Rancho Palos Verdes Country Club, Diversion Road, Davao City (near Crocodile Park). That trip was unplanned, though.
It's a sports and country club with PHP 80,000+ annual membership fee.
To go there, you should have a car. If you do not have an automobile, then you might want to consider shedding those pounds by walking approximately 1 km from the Diversion Road entrance before reaching Rancho Palos Verdes.
Anyway, the place has a 3-ft deep swimming pool with a beach-like landscape on one side. They also have courtsides for badminton, table tennis, basketball and a lot more. But I did not see a tennis court—too bad.
But it was a quiet place when we got there. Only few people managed to eat at their poolside restaurant.
If Rancho Palos Verdes Country Club would only reconsider making their annual membership fee affordable, then I would immediately apply to become an exclusive member.
Well, after using their ***, we left. Thankfully, Rey managed to drive us home before the downpour.
On the other hand, I would like to thank these people for frequently dropping EC on my blog, even though I rarely reciprocate the gesture. They may not be reading my posts, but their visits are highly appreciated. You might want to check out my Top 10 Entrecard droppers at this page => Token Of Gratitude.

Miss Venezuela Crowned Miss Universe 2009 But Heidi Montag A Big Mistake
A Walk To Remember
I was keeping my fingers crossed for Bianca Manalo to win the crown of Miss Universe 2009. Sadly, she didn't make it to the top 15.
I was sitting on my couch, eating twister fries from McDonalds, while watching the show of beauty and perfection. But Heidi Montag ruined my day by performing at the 58th Miss Universe 2009 held in Bahamas.
They could have chosen a better performer than Heidi Montag. So, I changed channel (from ABS-CBN to HBO to Disney Channel and to other cable channels) and forgot to switch back to the live coverage of Miss Universe 2009. Because of Heidi Montag's performance, I wasn’t able to winnow Miss Venezuela from other contestants. Heidi Montag performing live at the Miss Universe 2009 was definitely a big mistake (in my perception).
Anyway, Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela—yet again-- walked away with the title of Miss Universe 2009. Miss Dominican Republic (Ada Aimee De la Cruz) took the first runner-up prize, while Miss Kosovo (Gona Dragusha) gained the second runner-up throne. Miss Australia (Rachael Finch) and Miss Puerto Rico (Mayra Matos Perez) finished as third runner-up and fourth runner up, respectively.
The Miss Photogenic title was given to Miss Thailand (Chutima Durongdej) while Miss Congeniality was awarded to Miss China (Wang Jingyao). And for Miss Philippines—better luck next time. :D

The weeklong celebration of Kadayawan Festival starts today. Almost all malls in Davao are celebrating with "huge" discount (up to 75%). Unfortunately, I'm out of budget.
The theme
"One People in Communion with the Earth (Nahiusang Katawhan Nakigdait sa Kalibutan)" is this year's Kadayawan Festival theme. The theme describes the unity of the people from various cultures in preserving our planet Earth.
Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan and Floral Float parade are just two of the activities of the annual celebration of Kadayawan Festival.
Where to stay in Davao?
Davao offers comfortable places for you to stay during this week-long celebration of Kadayawan Festival. For instance, you can have a good night's sleep at Eden Nature's Park after your exciting expedition in the city of Davao. The 95% man-made resort offers 40% off on rooms, as well as Mountain Villas. Or you can stay within the city in a five-star hotel, like Marco Polo Davao.

The culmination of the 24th Kadayawan 2009 will be on the 23rd of August. I'm fortunate enough to live in one of the Philippines's progressive cities—Davao. I can witness this colorful festival. But one thing is missing; the camera won't be available this week (huhuhu).
