Sexy Nomad Weekend Updates

While the whole nation was so busy saying their  various opinions about the recent mishap that happened in Manila, I was busy working, sleeping and writing my personal blogs posts on some of my blogs.  Honestly, I had no idea that such a tragedy was happening until Peter told me about it late Monday evening.  Oh well, I won’t add anymore opinion about the matter. It’s been done and I just hope  the people concerned learned a good deal about it so that next time (not that I’m hoping there would be a next time), it can be dealt with successfully. (*If you don’t know what I am talking about, then you must be living under a rock, or like me, killing yourself with tons of workload and other more seemingly important things. LOL.) I won’t even give any clues or keywords as to what I am referring to because it has trended enough on social networking sites making our race look bad once again. 

Anyhoo, the point of this post is to just give you my personal updates. So that’s what I’m going to do. ^_^

Last weekend, I again wore one of the garterized, off-the-shoulder, affordable blouses I was selling on my FB super sale catalog.  It’s comfy and it perfectly hid all those unwanted fats in my midesction. Haha! Blame it on the sweets I’ve been eating non-stop lately. 

I also bought new books! Now if only I can buy time to read all those books I’ve bought, that would be a  lot more awesome.

I tried using our brand new Wimpex oven and grilled some vegetables and baked some scrambled eggs.They were delish!

I’ve also been busy with casting spells and buying a few things for Halloween. Yes, I am that excited!After all, a few more days and it’s the start of the BER months already. Yipee!

And last but not the least, if I haven’t been resting or reading, I’ve been spending some real quality time with the hubby over the weekend. 

How about you? Prior to the incident that had the nation glued to National TV, what have you been up to? ^_^

Sexy Nomad’s 4th Birthday Gift

Howdy! Sexy Nomad is now 4 years old! As such, she has thought about transfering to another home. So from now on, all new PERSONAL posts shall be published at

sexynomad.blogspot.com

I will still retain this blog though for non-personal travels and stuff.

When you do visit my new blog (and a couple of other blogs on my blog roll), you might see some old posts there on the front page. This is because I am slowly transfering all my posts (starting from the most interesting and most viewed) from here to my new home, one by one. Yeah, it’s such a massive task! Just thinking about it is making my heart beat so fast. I guess coz I find it exciting… Teehee. It would be nice to go back to my old posts and see how much I’ve grown, from an emotional wreck I was 4 years ago, to this happier, more mature girl that I am now. ^_^

So anyway, I just want to let you know. And if you have a better idea on how I can do this more efficiently, let me know. I think I need all the help I can get, seeing that I almost never sleep these days and I’m always bombarded with work. (Buti na lang nag-eenjoy ako.) ^_^

Ciao folks! And see you at the other side.

Palay-Isdaan Mini Zoo and Carlos Beach in Pagbilao, Quezon

Earlier on this Black Saturday, we left Dampalitan Island at around lunch time. On the way back home, I hoped to pass by another beach I wanted to check out — Carlos Beach. I came across Carlos Beach while doing my research online. It’s at the end of the road that also leads to Pueblo Por Playa, a member’s only beach club in Barangay Bantigue, occupying most of its coastline. We got lost a couple of times because we couldn’t find Carlos Beach even after we passed by Pueblo Por Playa. So we started asking around. Apparently, the end of the road which we thought was the ultimate end of the road in Barangay Bantigue was not. We had to go a little further  into that narrow road leading to Carlos Beach. Finally, when we got there, it was unfortunate that Carlos Beach was not as impressive as I thought it would be. Entrance fee is only Php 20.00 and and use of table is for Php 50.oo each. It is a small picnic ad beach resort with a fish pond at the back. Since it was Black Saturday, it was full of people mostly kids and oldies. After taking a few photos, we left and just decided to go straight home.

I woke up the following morning, which was a Black Saturday, at around 4:00 am. The beach was dark except for the moonlit and starlit sky. I can still see the outline of the gorgeous mountain ranges from afar. I stayed inside the tent hoping that Peter will wake up as well… to no avail. So I tried going back to sleep. At 5:00 a.m., I really wasn’t feeling sleepy anymore so I nudged Peter beside me to wake him up. I needed to pee. I didn’t want to go all the way to the public restroom area and pass by the tents of all the other sleeping campers, so I asked Peter to accompany me to a nearby bush instead where I can do number 1. Teehee. By the time we went back to our tent, I saw some fishermen docking their boats and going to our area. Apparently, they were trying to sell us some newly caught Tilapya fish and crabs. I wasn’t really in the mood to buy coz one, we didn’t bring any grill where we can cook it; two, we didn’t know how to make fire; and three, I don’t wanna be too full that it will make me do number 2. I try to avoid doing that whenever we camp. I’d rather stay on a strict diet so my tummy can wait all the way back home or somewhere more civilized where I can relieve myself. But anyway, the fishermen were really very insistent. They even volunteered to borrow the grill of our neighbor campers (who were still sleeping) without their knowledge and also made fire for us with the use of coconut husks. I felt pity for them so we ended up buying Php 120.00 worth of fresh Tilapya. Not bad. It did taste so yummy and I finished one huge piece.

 

The rest of our early morning was spent walking by the beach, still dressed in my makeshift PJs, waiting for the sun to shine.The tide was low and the beach seemed wider that early morning.

Malapascua Island Weekend in Cebu: Day 2

 ~~~oOo~~~

On  our third and final day on this exotic island, Peter and I woke up early to catch the sunrise. Malapascua island is just so  beautiful that early morning, as the sun’s rays cast  its golden glow on the powdery white sands of the beach. Most of the boats were still docked by the shore while a few were out in the ocean, catching some fish, to supply the various resorts lining the island.

After 4 long months, it’s only now that I found the time to continue blogging about this fantastic trip we did in Malapascua last Nov. 28-30, 2009.  It was just two weeks after our Cagbalete Island Getaway and we were off to another destination onceed again. I was browsing at the photos which I didn’t even get to review after the trip and man, not only did I miss this wonderful island, but I missed my long, wavy, sunburnt hair! Haha!

Cubao Expo: An Afternoon of Shopping and Dining at Green Halo

March 7, 2010, it was the day after our day trip in Dungaree Beach and shopping in Subic. Ninette spent the night with us, so come Sunday, we woke up pretty late, too lazy to do anything else. But because we didn’t want to turn this beautiful summer day into waste, we thought of heading out, and see where the wind will blow us.

Shopping at Royal Duty Free and Dinner at Texas Joe’s in Subic

After our little beach trip at Dungaree, we headed to the Duty Free area to window shop supposedly. But we ended up buying a bottle of of Korean Aloe Vera Juice & Mandarin Juice, Korean noodles, Korean ice cream sandwich, imported chocolates and other food. This was also where I got my Ryka sneakers, Rider slippers and Peter’s Nike rubber shoes. ^_^
