No storm. Indeed, GenSan is blessed!

Been reading posts on Facebook about Bagyong Pedring on how it devastated Luzon area. I have been seeing photos on Facebook with regards to how drenched in water Luzon is experiencing now. I have been watching the news now and still news about Pedring's devastation is on the line.

Many homes were torn down and vehicles flushed away like toys being played by a giant kid with water. Many people were afraid of what could the storm have in store for them, for us.

But hey, I looked outside to see if there is this impeding devastation Bagyong Pedring will bring us. I started to think. Would a star-lit sky indicate a storm? Oh well, there's no storm over here. I'm really waiting the storm would come but GenSan wouldn't allow storms to enter his territory.

This is one good reason why I am proud to be a General. We have nice topographic area which I call "anti-storm".

Aside from being proud that I'm a General (and birthplace of some most popular celebrities in domestically and internationally), I would also like to stay here as I grow old. No pollution. No devastating storms. No physical stressors and many more!

Indeed, GenSan is blessed!

But wait, let's not also forget the people who are devastated by the present storm. Let's extend our hands to reach them and give help.

Be safe everyone!

How dangerous malls can be?

Seated on the couch, I was really shocked to learn from the news that a 13 year old guy killed his friend (and possibly his romantic partner) and himself by a .22 caliber gun in a mall in Pampanga. This has been the second consecutive incident that had happened on the same mall.

How did the 13 year old guy brought the gun inside the mall without having the security guards notice it? Who's to blame for all the incidents happened?

These incidents gave me the idea that the mall could be the worst place on earth. With its very loose security nowadays (bags are just being poked for a second), everyone can actually bring anything which can be so dangerous!

If others can bring guns, it is also possible to bring ice picks, knives, and even bombs!

This would really scare me a lot since I'm a Filipino citizen of General Santos City where bomb threats are prevalent. Much more today that there are intelligence reports of terrorists attacks here in our city.

I wish that this would serve as a warning not only to the malls but also to all public places to be vigilant. We can prevent a disaster if we are just mindful for everyone's safety.

Always remember that prevention is better than cure.

Nothing But A Misadventure (my best pic story)

Five. Four. Three. Two. One.

Finally, it's already 7 AM and my 12-hour shift is going to an end. Being a nurse is really hard. You have to deal with all the demands of your responsibility as well as the deprivation of sleep especially on night duty. But well, that a calling of the nursing profession. And now, I can finally go home and have a very sound sleep.

Endorsement was done and I finally logged out from my working hours. I am now home bound. Being so tired and sleepy from the night shift,  it seems like I'm floating in mid air with every step I make. I usually take a ride from jeepneys to drive me home so I took a sit from the one in front of me. Midway to my destination, the jeepney stopped over the market place to gather more passengers. The driver shouted out, "Purok Malakas! Purok Malakas!"

Hearing those words I talked to myself, "What!? Am I just dreaming? Did he actually said Purok Malakas?" I was really shaken by what the driver said since I should be taking a jeepney that goes along Dagohoy because I live there. Yes you're right! I got the wrong jeepney.

I laughed at myself to think that it was an honest stupidity. I wasn't able to check the route of the jeepney first before going inside. Well, I don't have to worry. I just have to step out from the jeepney and find another one that goes along my destination. I really felt so stupid that time for not looking at the jeepney's route but I felt more stupid when I realized that I haven't brought with me my wallet. I left it in the house before heading to work so that I could minimize spending my money. What's left in my hand was the last money for my fare so I didn't have any choice but to step down, give the money to the driver and think for a very bright solution.

Good thing there were these motorcycles which we call "habal-habal." I asked one of them to drive me home but I'll just have to pay the driver when we arrive there and finally I was able to reach our house. Lesson learned! Next time I really have to look at the jeep's route before riding in and I should bring with me always my wallet. It wouldn't really happen if only I have my own car to drive.

When talking about cars, I really love to have the new Kia Picanto. It's new key features and design really fits my my standards for a car.

Perfect speed and performance.
With it's in-line 3-cylinders and 12 Valves with Dual Continuous Variable Valve Timing, I can have a smooth ride anywhere I want to go. I wouldn't be late anymore when driving my way to work.

Incredible inner space.
Enough with the cars that are less in space. With the Kia Picanto's manageable inner space, I can choose multiple seating modifications for my car and create a spacious interior. I can actually make it as my bed room!

Carry what you want!
The car offers a spacious luggage area where I can bring big things with me anywhere especially when going outdoors or heading to the beach.

Automated power windows.
This special feature is really amazing. Imagine if I stick my head out of the window and I accidentally activated the window auto-up operation I wouldn't risk myself from choking since the car would detect an obstruction on the window.

Nonstop music experience.
With its built-in audio system, I can satiate my ears with the songs from Bruno Mars or just rock on my seat with Linkin Park!

Transportation safety genius.
I'm not superman! I am also prone to road accidents that a common driver may encounter. But with Kia Picanto, I can actually minimize the injury with the help of its seatbelt pretensioners. Collision may happen but these safety devices will prevent me from jerking forward.

Overall impact.
Do you like white, silver, red, or lime? You can actually choose the color of your choice! As for me, I like to have the white one. With its stylish look and cool interior, I can make an iconic overall impression of the best car people would really like to have!

To sum up everything, if I have a Kia Picanto I will have the greatest driving experience of my life! Sounds exaggerated but it's true. Plus, no more wrong jeepney rides!

Fruit ninja is actually a game created for iPhone and iPod touch wherein the goal of the game is to slice a bunch of fruits as you can and create combos to gain high score. Using your fingers, you have to slice the fruits that are being thrown.

Gladly, fruit ninja is already in facebook and everyone can now have the opportunity to play it online using their facebook accounts. What's really nice about using it on facebook is the fact that you can compare your score to others who are playing it and share it to your wall.
