Vacation With a Little Staycation

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Summer is the best time and season to relax and enjoy moments with family, friends, and “barkadas”. This season is in time with school vacation. Summer is a very hot season where everyone enjoyed swimming in beaches and resorts. Some people were bored. Students spent almost of their time in front of the computer during summer. Some just waste a day in sleeping, eating, and watching TV. It is different in my case. I can say it was not boring at all.

I’m guilty in my forth mentioned statement. Most of my days are spent in the computer. Eating, sleeping, watching TV, and everything non-productive I should say.

On first part of my vacation, as a church server, or a sacristan, I served at the Masses. It was like everyday I am so busy. I was like going here to there, night and day. I was almost sleepless on those days. First day was good. It was the Maundy Thursday. My colleagues and I practiced then served at the mass. I got enough rests and sleeps. Then, those days are gone.

My FRIENDS Saved My Boring Days

Wazzup Pilipinas!

My Summer didn't started well. I just stayed inside the house ;watched the television and stared at anything. My vacation started without any plans for the next two months . Until the the time came, when the school distributed the report cards including our allowances.

Actually, before the school year ended, Daniel, I and who ever wants to join had a fun trip, we visited the places that you couldn't imagine we could go to. So, after we have received our allowances for the month of March, Daniel, Jaddie and I decided to enjoy and spend it on SM Mall of Asia. The mall was too big that we didn't manage to see its every corner. We were there from 11 in the morning until 8 in the evening- trying to look at every floors, but it's tiring. Aside from going up and down, we played in the arcade then ate.That day was very significant in my summer.

From that day on, I thought of ways on how could I burn my summer vacation. I was thinking of it every time of the day. During those times, I began to be fond of using Twitter. I believe that Twitter wasted a lot of my time during the vacation but I also believe that it completes my day. This Twitter isn't used on socializing, I used it to take out opinions, feelings, and problems which I can't voice out. Most of the time I used Twitter to talk to myself. However, Twitter is not yet enough to burn those days and that feeling is indeed sucking me.

Once Upon a Summer : Outing Here, Outing There, and Outing Everywhere

Wazzup Pilipinas!

“I can’t wait for summer to come”, that line is what I often say and what I usually hear from the other students for the whole year around. It is the time for relaxation and enjoyment for everyone. I believe that it’s a vital part of every student’s life. It is the chance for everyone to share time with their love ones.

I’m expecting that my summer break will be just typical, but I’m still longing for a meaningful and best summer ever, hoping to escape my mundane world behind for exotic adventures. I take pictures of every memorable place I stayed. 

Outing here, outing there, and outing everywhere. We visited a nice resort in Binangonan, Rizal and I was able to capture a nice scene of sunset. Well, by the power of edit it turns out to be more beautiful. I enjoy spending at the resort with my family.

I also had plans with my friends. We visit a clubhouse in Cainta. We really enjoy our free time together because most of the time that we spent with each other was so busy doing our school requirements. I felt so out-of-place while seeing them floating and swimming, because I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to conquer my fear but I enjoy most of the time while chatting, playing and eating with them.

The sequel to last year's highly successful Bigas Hackathon- is an event for hacktivists and programming aficionados who are willing to use their much-in-demand skills to benefit the world. IRRI's hackathons bring together young IT whizzes to spend two days.

The next big tech push for rice is slated to come on 31 August-1 September 2013 as the International Rice Research Institute gears up for the Bigas2 Hack—the sequel to last year's hugely successful BigAs Hackathon—an event for developers and programming aficionados who are willing to use their highly sought skills to benefit the world.

IRRI’s hackathons bring together young IT whizzes to spend two days developing an IT-based solution to a rice research problem. Last year’s event involved 57 developers from the Philippines. This year, the plan is to engage more people from the Philippines and beyond.
 

Bigas2 Hack is co-organized by Smart Communications, Inc. and Smart DevNet.
 
PhilRobotics, the winning team in 2012, came up with Envilog, a portable device that can take readings of temperature, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, amount of sunlight, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and water height in rice fields.

Bigas2 Hack comes as part of the list of activities lined-up by IRRI towards rice sector development and in celebrating 2013 as the National Year of Rice.

This year's hackathon will formally allow interested participants to incubate their ideas longer, and then take it even further by developing prototypes.

This makes Marian only the fourth repeat winner in FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World history, her first win coming way back in 2008.

She deserves it this year if i may say. Not a fan, but you gotta hand it to her, she really worked her ass out to get that body. Congrats, Marian.

The candidates were all deserving.

Angel has really nice curves, Sam is gorgeous but she's skinny. While Marian has bigger junks, more proportioned body which makes her the sexiest of all.

Summer Starts in the Pool and Ends in the Pool

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Summer vacation is a time for many people, especially students and employees, to relax, have fun and just enjoy life. But summer has two faces; some do have their happiest and unforgettable experiences but some consider their summer days just like a regular day with nothing to do.

My summer vacation starts when Cavendish, my section when I was in third year, decided to have our outing last March in a clubhouse. Though only few of us attended, we still had fun and enjoy the whole day swimming and playing in the pool.

Pro-Life Stops Once The Life Comes Out of the Womb?

Wazzup Pilipinas!


I want to share this to my readers of whom some may be the so called "pro-lifers" - those that support a pro-life advocacy thus they fight against the RH Bill with defenses that clings to religion and respect for the life of the unborn.

This was posted in Tumblr and the statement has a good point. Something to think about.

"You want to be pro-life?

Start with the kids already born. Start with the low-income families. Start with raising the minimum wage and start with comprehensive sex education. Start with doing away with abstinence-only education and do away with punishing people with uteruses for having sex.

You want to be pro-life?

Start supporting people living a life they can be happy with, a life their family can be safe and happy and provided for."
