Camotes Island - No Plan Overnight

Then again, going on a trip without a plan is coming into a war without a pair of boots on. But my friend said it wasn't war so I went with her.

It was around 7pm when we reached Consuelo port. Habal-habal and Tricycle drivers are queuing - lots of them. So booking ahead is a coward's nest. 😁The habal-habal driver led us to a nearby accommodation - 800.00/night, with TV and Aircon, a clean bathroom, a carenderia outside, a sari-sari store across! No worries!

We booked the same driver for the tour the next day! 😚

Here are the places we went to:

1. Lake Danao - We came earlier than other tourists so the place brought so much tranquility in me.

2. Timubo Cave - Yes. We're earlier again so I could hear cave sounds and water sounds and echoes and it was creepy but mesmerizing!

3. Buho Rock - My friend couldn't swim so I decided to dip alone. I wanted to jump off the rock but no one's gonna wait me down.

4. Paraiso Cave- Some tourists were already inside so the place didn't look attractive to me. 😂

4. Santiago Bay - The shoreline was indeed wide and long. But at the time, the water was shallow (I mean low tide besh) so we had to walk longer miles to reach the waters hahahahaha

So that's it! It was worth the try. What a great trip to start the year. 💕

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku) While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website . 2. Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno) This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey. Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo. 3....

Favor! As I was preparing to apply for this job, I felt that certain peace and assurance that this would go well. True enough, I got shortlisted for an interview. But it wasn't only an interview, there was also a written exam and a teaching demo. All happened in one day. Then the waiting starts. Two months to be exact. This position isn't always available. It's uncertain how many teachers the city would accept in a year. And a lot of us would want to get in. The perks and benefits that come along this direct employment are something foreign workers are longing to have. Then they called me and told me I was first on the waitlist. We were all put on the waitlist. I heard there were over a hundred applicants. Less than half got called for an interview. Then about twenty were considered for the position. But it was still uncertain how many of the twenty will successfully sign a contract. Another week passed when I finally received a mail. It was the contract package. Then they ...

But Before Summer

Today, I held back my tears as I was watching my student hitting his head while saying, 'Atama ga warui' which literally means 'My head is bad'. The more precise translation would be 'I'm stupid' or 'I'm dumb'. The students were using their school provided tablets to do some listening tasks and yet this particular student was just carelessly tapping the screen, opening random school apps. So I approached him and tried to help him navigate the school portal. And as soon as we could open his digital workbook, I left him so he could find the pages and the audio file on his own. I went around the class to help the other kids. But I would from time to time check on that student at a distance. Then not long, he started hitting his head again and repeatedly telling himself 'I'm dumb'. It was so painful to watch. But then suddenly one classmate sitting next to him stood up and helped him and another one followed. I was moved by such sight. H...
