<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here in the Philippines, we currently have 8,200 cases. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">During the first week of lockdown, I feel so scared, it's as if I have "The Virus". A lot was going on my mind. There was a young girl who coughed up in the public vehicle where I was in. There was a man who had "it" in our building before the lockdown. What if I caught it? What if I pressed the same elevator button or breathe the same air where she coughed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While I recall everything that happened before the lockdown, I suddenly felt sick. I had a bad stomach flu, acid reflux, nausea and chills. Could this be it?! It made me panic even more. I took medicines and had no appetite for days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think, I'm not alone... you had it too, right? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Then someone told me... it was Anxiety. A feeling of uncertainty. A feeling of fear of something that I have no control of. I'm an over thinker. A what-if kind of person. This adds up to my anxiety and made it worse. In 46 days, I had 3 attacks but thank God I have family and friends to help me.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are Five Tips I personally did to overcome Anxiety:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Rest from News and Social Media.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is one effective trick. I stopped watching the news. I looked at Facebook but skipped those that has something to do with COVID19. You don't need to know those news. You already know what you need to know... there is COVID19 in your country. That's it! I also skipped those vid clips on COVID19. Anything COVID-related, I chose to skip. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">From time to time, I checked Facebook. I filter those that I will read. I enjoy seeing my friends having a fun-time at home or those that cooked and baked or those that will inspire me that everything is okay even if you are locked at home. I also watched one COVID19-related video... the steps on how to disinfect the groceries and produce. That's it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>2. Exercise</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I heard from my Mother-in-Law that exercise is a good option to release anxiety. Research says, exercise promotes the release of feel-good brain chemicals or the happy hormones. A good 20-30 minute exercise not only makes you happy... it makes you healthier. That's a 2-in1 solution. Check out YouTube.com for exercises that suits you. There are a lot of videos to choose from. Go check and start moving! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>3. Talk to friends for support</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Friends makes you laugh. You can run to them for comfort too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We are only asked to stay home but technology makes the impossible possible. Video Call them once in a while. Have a good conversation over a cup of coffee. No limit. It will not only calm your mind, you were able to catch up with your friends too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In my case, my husband and my friends kept me sane. A friend even makes an effort in sending me feel-good foods just to make me feel better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>4. Make yourself Busy </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">More time because of the Lockdown? Do something productive... or not! Either do something new or be lazy and just watch a movie and chill. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">You choose. You have all the time anyway.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Make yourself busy by starting a TV series in Netflix or start a new hobby like reading books or, like me, I started blogging again when my baby is sleeping. Some tried to be bakers and I think they are good at it now. I've been seeing a lot of posts of freshly baked breads and pastries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">You can also pamper yourself. Turn on the music and relax while taking a long bath. Sing in the shower or cry out your fears</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">... no one will know. Do your own nail care or pamper yourself with your skin care routine. You don't have to look and feel messy on a lockdown. Again, it's your choice so choose what's best for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>5. The Best Advice I can give you that definitely worked for me is to reconnect with God.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am a Christian and I believe that there is a sovereign God. Everything that happened in my life is amazing and only God can do that. My life is a personal testimony that God is real.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This lockdown made many of us realize that material things are temporary but the relationship stays. Love for your family, love for God. It made me realize that in this time of uncertainty, you have to hold on to His promises and remember that God is in Control. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I installed a Bible app in my phone where I get my daily devotions. It's something to start with and see how amazing God works in you. Make yourself busy and draw yourself more to God. I find it peaceful and assuring that this too shall pass. We just have to be patient and obedient to God's will.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I did not say that you will never have an anxiety attack again if you do these but it will lessen the chances. If, in any case, these did not work on you and the attack is getting stronger, do not be afraid to call for professional help. There are a lot of free consultations now that offers counseling. They are aware that a lot of people are having anxiety because of the pandemic. Call for help.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I pray that this pandemic will be over soon. For now, have faith, have a positive output in life and try to relax at home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In Manila alone, there are lots of coffee shops trying to fit in and be known to all coffee lovers. Others have unique tricks like a coffee shop where you can play with cats or dogs. I prefer having having it in a quiet and relaxing place. When I was still single, I used to go to coffee shops to write my blog while having my favorite cup of coffee. </span></span></div>

Café Tribu. They have branches in Greenhills, Quezon City and Dubai. We visited their place in Greenhills and we find it very relaxing. Drinks are very good, cakes are rich and tasty and the price is very affordable. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The cafe's theme is more on a Spa type concept, meant to bring comfort and relaxation to their customers. Their pieces and fixtures are edgy and comfortable too. </span></span></div>

They also serve in generous portions. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My daughter is already 5 months old. All day, me and my husband are taking care of the baby... but I do it most of the time because she's exclusively breastfed. I resigned and left my managerial position in the corporate world and happily, I'm a Stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) for 5 months now. With my husband as my constant help and support, I do baby's laundry, prepare our food, clean the house at times, etc. aside from exclusively breastfeeding and taking care of our little one. It's true when a SAHM mom says, "Rest means doing household chores while the baby is sleeping." Here are some of what's inside a first-time mom's head and what I learned to keep me going.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From baby blues to over tiredness to paranoia... I feel like I am one crazy person already. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1493626387915_46548" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center; widows: 1;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Days after I gave birth, I felt this urge to cry with NO reason at all. It feels weird because I was supposed to be happy... but I'm sad?! Good thing, my family was there one time when I had it, we talked it over and they encouraged me. Hubby and I read articles about it too. It's the hormone drop after birth that caused this baby blues. Damn. (eye roll) Now, whenever they joke about it on TV series or movies, I get it. Funny but crazy. And my happy hormone? Chocolates! A good excuse to eat dark chocolates. Yum! </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1493626387915_46550" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center; widows: 1;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Over tiredness with added paranoia can be crazy too. Imagine taking care of a little one who can't talk and wants to be carried all the time. At 5 months, she's a little over than 7kls already... I can't even carry 5kls of rice before! At first, I have no idea why she cries. Is she hungry? Wet? Sleepy? Sick? ...Wait, what?! Sick?! Is she sick?! Oh no! What if she is? What's that I'm hearing? Is she having a hard time breathing? Let's go to the ER, quick! (at 3:00AM, when she was 2 weeks old. Only to find out she's perfectly normal. And the nurses asked, "first time parents po? ...oh that's why") </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Being that crazy is normal. We are normal mommies! That's good news. What I learned, in every struggle, it is best to have your partner with you to help you out. I salute and appreciate all moms more -whether they chose to be a stay-at-home-mom or needed to work away from their child or those single moms too-for their love, courage and sacrifices. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With all the struggles of being a first time mom -all those sleepless nights, headbutts, scratches, hair pulls and hair loss, over-tiredness, etc.- they are all worth it when you see your baby healthy and happy. One simple smile or a kiss will immediately make you feel a lot better. It's all worth it mommies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've read in one of the blogs, these struggles will pass, but for now, it's hard. I agree but I had to add, it's hard for now but it's worth it.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; line-height: normal; text-align: center; widows: 1;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We may sometimes feel to have a desperate need to breath and go out, it's normal. I feel that too. Especially during the first few months when the doctor said the baby can't go out yet. Our Pediatrician advised us, if possible, go out for a while and let your hubby or a family member take care of your little one. Me, on the other hand, prefer to unwind with hubby and baby. After our doctor gave the go signal, we go out and spend more family time together outside our home... even if it means going to the mall to do the grocery. It feels a lot better when you go out and let yourself breath for a while.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Make time to do the things you love. I love writing and sharing. How was I able to write this article considering my hectic mommy schedule? I wrote it on my phone's notepad while my baby's breastfeeding. Talk about multi-tasking! It makes me feel relaxed... you can't do anything else while breastfeeding anyway.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I Never had this... I hope I won't. But this a mother's struggle that shouldn't be ignored. I only had baby blues but it feels weird and insane... postpartum depression is way more serious. Moms, if you feel like you're experiencing this, talk to your partner or better, an expert. You do not want to harm your child because of this. Husbands, this is serious and is really happening, comfort your wife. It helps a lot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As for me, I accepted the fact that we're just starting. I still have a lot to learn and experience. With all those moms around, I feel encouraged and I am up for motherhood.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi! I planned to create one blog per month for my preggy diaries but later on decided to summarize it in one.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We're married for four years and the timing was perfect when we found out that we're expecting. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>The Surprise</i></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had a pregnancy test one morning while I was preparing to go to work. It was (I think) a day after my husband's leap year birthday party. Excited to tell him about the good news, I rushed into our bedroom, sit beside my sleeping husband and woke him with "Habibi, happy birthday!" while holding 2 positive pregnancy tests. Overwhelmed, I didn't get the chance or thought of documenting it... his reaction was priceless. We almost cried. Too bad we didn't capture it on cam. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>The Doctor</b></i></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had 2 Ob-gyn doctors before I met her. She was referred to me by my cousin and our nurse friend. She is known in her field to be a fertility doctor, and true enough, we got pregnant! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She's Dr. Leonila Casanova. I heard so much about her, even our office nurse knows her great reputation. I like her because she's the only one who explained everything, from fertility to post pregnancy. She is family-oriented and would even coach you about the importance of family. She answers text inquiries as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><b>9 months</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh believe me! It wasn't easy. All the morning sickness in the first trimester, to frequent peeing on the second and backache on the third. With all these, we were still excited and thankful that we got pregnant. My husband was so supportive and loving. My mom was diabetic and I was advised to be careful with what I eat because I am already a candidate of gestational diabetes. My doctor gave me a maintenance medicine --that I prefer not to mention to avoid indirect prescription-- to prevent it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">http://www.whattoexpect.com has helped me through my pregnancy. Every week, I check this site to know what to expect. True enough, almost everything in this site is accurate. It helped me a lot to know which one's best to do like when to talk to my baby bump and have them listen to music or what is Braxton Hicks and how to differentiate it with actual labor. For first time pregnant women, I recommend this site.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">During pregnancy, just make sure to take care of yourself. Eat healthy and know which ones are not safe to eat. Walk or exercise only when advised by your doctor. Don't be stressed out with things around you. Love your body and always pray and ask Him to keep you and your baby safe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Labor is Real</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are 3 labor signs my doctor told me to remember: Bloody show, Water bag broke and pain with 20 minutes interval. She instructed me to go straight to the emergency room if I experience any of these signs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was 3:00AM and I woke up to pee, only to find out there's a little blood that came out... it's the bloody show my doctor told me about. It was not at all painful. I calmly woke up my husband and tell him it's time so we drove to the hospital. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It took me 22 hours and 26 minutes before the baby came out... about 9.5 hours of which was the extremely painful labor with 5-minute interval. Crazy! About 12:30AM, I was brought to the delivery room with only 8cm dilated cervix (should be 10cm to have a normal delivery). We tried pushing it twice until my doctor advised me and my husband that she'll do a C-section already. At 1:26AM, at 7.7lbs., baby Chloe came out and the rest is... for another blog post to tell. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All labor pains and 9 months of pregnancy was paid off by a little beautiful girl that looks like her dad. All we were able to say was "Thank you Lord." The following day, we were dismissed and headed home with our baby. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Imagine yourself living in a 52sqm condominium with shared amenities like swimming pool, basketball court, badminton court, fitness gym and a sky garden on each building's roof top. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On weekends, you can play with your kids or read a book and unwind on the Sky Garden while your husband plays basketball. A quick dip in the pool may be a good idea during summer. There are a lot of things to enjoy while living in a condominium as beautiful as this. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My husband and I always wanted to buy our own condominium to either have it rented out for extra income or to live in while we are starting out our family. However, our budget doesn't permit us to do so. Some affordable houses are too far from the metro, not marketable to clients. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently, we've discovered a relatively new developer, Land Cris Somerset Development Corp. We immediately fell in love with their South Project, Lancris Residences in Better Living, Paranaque. A mid-rise condominium, 15mins away from SM Bicutan or Sucat. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Unlike other condominiums, Lancris Residences have bigger cuts. They also have an affordable 0% interest Downpayment with flexible payment terms for their pre-selling unit. We<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> planned on getting their pre-selling 52sqm unit with 2 bedrooms. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">'ve checked their model unit and view the first (out of 4) building.</span></span></span></span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately, we went there on a wrong time. The crowd was as thick as Divisoria... crowded. However, the place is really beautiful. It's as if we were in another country. Gondola's will be operational by March as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When we went to visit our relatives in Masbate, we took a plane from Manila to Albay, so we had the chance to glance around Albay in less than 4 hours while waiting for our boat ride to Masbate City.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was breathtaking seeing Mt. Mayon for the first time in the plane. Luckily, there weren't much clouds around it so we can clearly see her beauty.</span><br />

Mayon erupted in 1814. It is currently protected and maintained by the municipal government of Daraga and the Museum of the Philippines. It was so interesting to see it in real life... I only see its replica in Nayong Pilipino (outdoor museum in the Philippines) during our yearly educational field trip in school when I was a kid.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can select from 3 levels of Sili Ice Cream, 3 being the hottest.
The ice cream was really good. It taste like Chili with Coconut milk.
Sounds weird for an ice cream though but it actually tastes good... not too sweet but its hot. :) I can
only have level 1. Level 2 was too much for me since I'm not much of a
chili fan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Philippines is well-known for its beautiful beaches... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">some of which are hidden and untouched. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Masbate is an island province in the Philippines, located in the Bicol Region.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can ride a plane straight to Masbate City, but since it is cheaper and more adventurous, we went there through plane from Manila to Albay and a Fast-Craft Vessel to Masbate. That way, we can get a glimpse of the famous mountain in Albay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We had a quick stop-over in Albay and visited Bicol's pride, Mt. Mayon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'll be posting a separate blog on our Albay visit soon. </span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Masbate Adventure</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I've seen a couple of Masbate beach blogs and the picture looks amazing! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Masbate is a huge island. At times, it is much faster to travel through water than on land.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In all our boat ride... every shore is naturally captivating even from afar... even the huge limestone formation tells its story. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In our 5-day stay, we were able to visit two beaches:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>1. Tinigban, Masbate</b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> My cousin lives in Tinigban together with her husband and son. It is a 2-hour boat ride from Aroroy, Masbate. Dolphins and flying fishes welcome us and made a couple of appearances. We haven't seen any butanding (Whale shark) around but according to my cousin, they occasionally swim near the boat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tinigban, Masbate is a hidden paradise where majority of the locals live in native houses. Electricity is limited through a generator, powered by their LGU's at night. For some, they have solar-powered lights as back up when the generator turns off. The beach is beautiful, though, according to my cousins, we haven't seen much yet because the waves were stronger than usual. It's clear sky, White sand and pristine and cold water is perfect for a summer getaway.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Are you familiar with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These are Grunge Bands who became so famous in the early 90's.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here in our country, there a lot of Independent grunge bands who are really talented.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My husband's band, WOUND is one of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Almost every month, they gather together in one place to share their music.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Last Saturday was a big event for them where almost every independent grunge band in the metro unite... of course I was there to support them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Since it's grunge... I need to blend in and dress up but still keep my soft and sweet side.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Grunge is more of the checkered polo or skirt, skinny jeans, floral dresses and boots, Dr. Martens or Chucks... I chose Floral Dress + Chucks for this event. :)</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Grunge is about angst, confinement etc... which I am not...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">but grunge is also free and transcending which is kinda me. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Did you ever experience the Holy Week traditions in the Philippines?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Did you hear about the "penitensya" (penitence/penance) where one do self-flagellation and at times even have themselves nailed to crosses as expression of penance or thanksgiving for a granted prayer?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I grew up as a Born Again Christian, we don't have such traditions, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">so I never saw anything like that until now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My husband's grandparents live in Quezon province where the Catholic community practice such. I went there this year (April 2014) with my husband and mom-in-law and witnessed it for the first time (but not the crucifixion).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We went there on a Thursday after picking up his mom in the airport.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After an 8-hour drive, we got there at 11:00pm already. </span></div>

I haven't been around lately, mainly because:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I'm busy with work, home and my online shop <a href="http://www.facebook.com/goshop4less" target="_blank">goshop4less</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I planned to (like what other Filipinos did), in respect to the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) tragedy that happened recently </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in our country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This blog post aims to THANK everyone for your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
help and generosity in helping the Filipinos in this time of need.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may not be one of the victims and our place wasn't hit by this tragedy but as a Filipino,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is a privilege to thank all who help one way or another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What color is your absolute favorite and, why? <span style="color: blue;">That would be black.

<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What workouts do you do, if you do, to keep fit? <span style="color: blue;">Since I'm always in the office, sitting, I try my best to do crunches with the help of my Ab Rocket</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Beauty or brains? <span style="color: blue;">hmmm... Brains :)</span></span></span></li>
