The Majestic View at Landingan Viewpoint

 

Come visit Landingan Viewpoint in Nagtipunan Quirino! The place is majestic, scenic, mesmerizing. 

We went to visit the place last Nov 18, 2022. Its an 8 to 9 hour ride from Quezon City. The journey is quite tiring and the road in Baler area is bit winding, it gave me a lot of headache! But the place is totally worth it.

Here is the view from the cottage below:

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU

Can't think of anything good to write so I just watched again one of my favorite movie:

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. I want to share with you an excerpt of that beautiful and touching poem Kat recited at the end part of the movie.

I hate the way you talk to me

And the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car.

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots

And the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick.

It even makes me rhyme.

I hate it...

I hate the way you're always right.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh;

Even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around

And the fact that you didn't call,

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you;

Not even close;

Not even a little bit;

Not even at all.
 

Tula Para Kay Karen

Sa bawat hagikhik, hatid niya ay saya,

Sa mga taong lugmok sa lungkot at problema,

Sa kanyang mga hirit, ikaw ay tatawa,

Ang kanyang mga payo, laking tulong sa tuwina.

Gandang kanyang taglay ay nakakahalina,

Sa umaga o gabi man, may ayos o wala.

Sadyang mala-anghel ang kanyang mukha

Sinong hindi mabibighani lalo kapag siya’y ngumiti na?

Talentong bigay sa kanya, kay sarap panoorin,

Ito man ay  pagsayaw, pagkanta o pag-akting,

Sabi nga ni Vice Ganda, “siya ay  interesting.”

“Walang hiya-hiya,” kay Sam Milby namang pansin.

Lakas na taglay niya ay nakakamangha,

Natatalo pa minsan mga lalaking kasama,

Determinasyon at dedikasyon, laging makikita

Sa anumang pagsubok na ibinibigay sa kanya.

Isang mabuting kaibigan sa bawat sandali,

Sasamahan ka sa iyong pagluha’t pagngiti.

Kaya naman, huwag ka nang mamangha.

Sa iyong makakaaway kapag siya ay binangga.

Karen, isa kang huwarang kabataan,

Lakas at tapang mo, dapat pamarisan

Ang iyong masayahing katangian,

Sana’y laging makita ng sambayanan.

Karen: Dreaming and Living Big After PBB

After announced as the Second Teen Big Placer, the Hagikhik Chick from Oriental Mindoro, was amazed as how many people actually supported her throughout her 90 – day journey inside Big Brother’s House.  Despite being tagged as “the frank, strong, independent- minded girl”, Karen still managed to capture the hearts of many people, teens and teens at heart. 

 Karen, fabulously dress for a press conference.

Predicted by many  to be one of those who will make it big in the entertainment industry, not just for her pretty face that resembled Angelica Panganiban and Angel Locsin, but for her prowess in acting, as shown in special episodes of PBB, Karen is now starting her Showbiz career.

Buktot Beach : A Hidden Beauty in Mansalay

Are you a beach type of person? So I guess, you’ve been to Boracay or Puerto Galera or Palawan to take a dip in their blue waters or stroll down their finest and white sands.

I seldom go for a beach walk but when I heard about the virgin White Beach in Buktot, Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro, I've become super excited. The only white beach I’ve visited so far, is the one in Puerto Galera. So, we’ve made plans to visit the place and  last August 2011 we finally set foot on one of the many  hidden beauties of Oriental Mindoro. 

The name "Buktot" came from a native dialect term which means "hunchback". The place, they say is shaped like a hunch.

Here's the view of the shoreline.

Don’t Mess With Writers

With the emergence of social netwoking sites, readers can now easily search for their favorite writers online. You can now chat with them, share your opinions in their posts or tweets, and make certain requests.  For me, its way better now unlike before where writers seems a thousand miles away from us.

But always remember this dear readers: don’t mess with writers especially those in fiction category.

Don’t steal their boyfriends,  

don’t do anything unpleasant to their families,

don’t belittle their talents,

don’t gossip their friends,

 don’t try exhausting their very long patience,

don’t copy their works

and don’t say anything bad behind their backs.

For they might take revenge on you in their next work. You’ll be surprised to  wake up one day reading your name being murdered in her or her co-writers novel.  

Don’t you know she  can transform you 

into a very ugly witch
