boracay_palm_trees1 I’m writing this post just for the key word and see if how many people will stumble upon my blog if I rant about Boracay!

Anyway,we’re going to the beach! And not just the beach but the best beach in the Philippines! We’re actually going to Boracay! It’s the place to really hang out and chill, have fun with friends because it’s bursting with life! Just what I need! LOL

I will be going with Sev (my brother), Dianne (Sev’s girl and of course Tim (who else?!).

The best thing about my work is that you can do it anywhere as long as you have a laptop or computer with internet connection. So I’ll be working while vacationing. Not bad. I”m thinking of it as having a vacation while working not the other way around. Haha.

Although I’m not sure if I could write once I’m there. Go figure!

I’m so excited! Right now I’m just finishing all my tasks for the day so I won’t have to worry or think about anything later. Peace of mind is the key to a peaceful and satisfying vacation.

2 more hours to go and I’ll be gone!

Goodbye Grey’s Anatomy, I’ll be back!

We’re gonna have fun fun fun!

And this is completely off topic but I just don’t like people who doesn’t like Taylor Swift. Geesh I’m such a kid. LOL.

Well I’m out! Will blog about our vacation when I come back home and take some photos so I could make all you guys jealous and therefore make you all go on vacation too!

On Saturday will be Mamang’s birthday and we might go to Punta Villa too so we have to be back before that. And on Sunday Manny Pacquiao will make us proud again and we will be watching the fight at SM City Cinema for more fun fun fun!

I have a great life don’t I? ;)

I Watched Hannah Montana The Movie!

hannah_montana_the_movie_movie_posterLast night when I have finished all my tasks for the day I decided to watch Grey’s Anatomy online again. I reward myself by watching Grey’s Anatomy every time I finish my work. Even though I have practically watched all the episodes already I still don’t get tired of that soap. And I never will. Back to the topic, not many people know that I am also a fan of Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hannah Montana. I think only Tim, my brothers and Monica knows that I have watched all Hannah Montana episodes. Yes I did. People think it’s kinda weird that a girl my age still watches these kind of sitcoms. Even my friends in Plurk laugh at me and says I’m a weird lady. LOL. But it’s really not that hard to believe, I’m a sucker for feel good movies and any show, sitcom or soap that makes me feel good. And Disney has a lot of those. Although I don’t like the Jonas Brothers, High School Musical or Camp Rock. They’re too “ugh” and “duh!”

So last night I was supposed to watch Grey’s Anatomy but when I opened the site where I watch all my shows online I saw a link of Hannah Montana: The Movie! It’s finally available online. So instead of watching Grey’s Anatomy I watched the movie instead. I started being curious with Hannah Montana when I heard Miley Cyrus’s single “7 Things“. I saw the music video on MYX and it made me want to find out about her and why Hannah Montana is such a big hit with youngsters and well, some girl’s my age. LOL. When I started watching the first episode I was hooked! It wasn’t so bad after all. It’s not cheesy and ugh and duh like the other Disney shows. It made me think of Two of a Kind . I loved that show too. So yeah, I watched all Hannah Montana episodes until I got to finish them all and I still wait for the latest episodes to be available online so I could watch them as well.

Hannah Montana: The Movie as we Hannah fans know is the film adaptation of the popular sitcom and it stars Miley Cyrus as Miley Stuart with her alter-ego Hannah Montana, Billy Ray Cyrus as Robby Ray Stuart,  Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott/Lola Luftnagle, Mitchel Musso as Oliver Oken/Mike Standley III, Moises Arias as Rico, Margo Martindale as Ruby (Robby Ray’s Mom), Melora Hardin as Lorelei (Robby Ray’s love interest), Jason Earles as Jackson Stewart (I love his antics!), Barry Bostwick as himself (he’s the owner of the company intent in developing Crowley Corners which is Hannah’s hometown), Peter Gunn as Oswald (the slimey reporter/paparrazzi), Lucas Till as Travis Brody (Miley’s love interest, he has a crush on Miley since their childhood), Beau Billingslea as the Town Mayor and Vanessa Williams as Hannah’s publicist. There were also cameo roles by Tyra Banks, Steve Rushton, the Rascall Flatts, Marcel, Bucky Covington, William Gentner and Taylor Swift who sang “Crazier” at the charity concert to save Crowley Corners.

I won’t tell you guys what the movie is all about because I don’t want to spoil it for you. I want you to watch it so you’ll understand why I love this movie and why I’m thinking of watching it again. I’ll tell you a secret — I was teary-eyed when Miley decided to give up Hannah Montana forever and she thanked everyone for letting her live her dream. The movie soundtrack is also bursting with a lot of cool new songs from Hannah Montana and other artists. I have downloaded them all! LOL. You will surely dance to “Hoedown Throwdown” sang by Miley Cyrus, be touched by “Butterly Fly Away” by Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus and many more songs.

So now that I have written this blog post I know some of my Plurker friends will laugh at me and tease me but I really don’t care. LOL. But I know they understand that I’m really a kid at heart and I just love being happy. Hannah Montana makes me happy.  This is just me being optimistic. Connect the dots. Watch Hannah Montana: The Movie now and tell me what you think. ;)

Ted Failon is Not Guilty

ted-failonI don’t believe that Ted Failon killed his wife. I don’t know him personally but still everyone’s entitled to their own opinion right? Ted Failon (born Mario Teodoro Failon Etong)  as we all know is one of the news anchors at ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol news program which airs weekdays from Monday-Friday. He also has a radio program on DZMM.

Ted Failon’s wife, Trina Failon Etong was brought to the hospital last Wednesday and she fought for her life until the night of April 16th when she succumbed to the gunshot wound on her head. I really don’t have to write all the facts and details here because I already know that almost everyone knows what happened. I just want to sympathize with Ted Failon and his 2 daughters who are going through all this dreadful ordeal with the media and police while they are mourning the loss of their loved one. I don’t know if it is true that the police are building a case against Ted Failon because they want to get back against Ted and ABS-CBN. Ted Failon is also a well-known critic of Malacanang. I read somewhere on the web that the big shots up there in the palace and the police department are making such a fuss on Ted Failon’s case because there are promotions and appointments involved. Hhhmmm. I smell something fishy. When Miriam Santiago‘s son committed suicide there never was an investigation. The case was immediately closed. Miriam Santiago is also a prominent personality but why are there different procedures being applied? And if the police are such smart people why can’t they even do simple SOP like reading the Miranda Doctrine to the helpers and relatives of the Etong family when they were arrested? Things like this really make one think if there really is a case or if they’re just trying to make a case.

So okay, we shouldn’t rule out foul play. And there’s the “obstruction of justice case” against Ted Failon and his driver and helpers. I agree that they did obstruct justice in this case. But that is all the case there should be. I believe that the helpers cleaned out the crime scene because they didn’t want Ted Failon’s youngest daughter to see all that blood inside their house and in the car as well. That wasn’t a smart thing to do but helpers aren’t really smart people right? As my father said, if all helpers were smart and intelligent people they wouldn’t just be helpers. They would’ve been lawyers, doctors, broadcasters or even police officers.

I am going to be looking out for all the developments in this case and I will be updating this post as well. I just hope that the police will do their job well and not think of each of their personal gain. Ted Failon is just a media-man who does his job well. There’s no point in revenge. We should just respect their family’s privacy instead. There are more crimes out there that needs the police’s attention. Like corruption perhaps?

Jesus You Are My Bestfriend!

jesusParis Hilton might be looking for BFFs but I have a BFF that she might want to meet too. My BFF is much more richer than Paris Hilton. He has given me life and a wonderful family. He has given me the best man. He has given me the best kind of friends. He has taught me a lot of lessons in life. He is always there when I need him, He doesn’t let me down and I know He never will. He gives me everything I want as long as it’s going to be for my betterment. He showers me with countless gifts, most of them priceless. He always listens to my rantings. Even if people don’t read every post of my blog I really don’t care because I know that He is always reading my blog posts although He doesn’t leave me a comment. LOL. He knows me better than everyone else. I can enumerate and list down countless things that my best friend is doing for me, but I can’t remember them all and it might take a lot of time but what matters is  that He knows I appreciate everything that He’s done for me. I know I am not the “best” best friend but still he doesn’t give up on me. He’s still always there. Thank you so much Jesus – for being my best friend.

Well I just got home after hearing Mass at our Parish. I attended the 5AM Mass which was celebrated by Monsignor Gamboa. I am not used to going to church that early but I made an exception this time because my Singles for Christ community is the scheduled choir for the Mass. Last night we practiced the songs  we will sing for the Mass until 10PM then I slept for like a couple of hours only because when I arrived home I had to do my daily tasks and then prepare my clothes for the Mass before I went to bed. I have trouble sleeping at night because being the nocturnal creature that I am – I’m used to working the night shift. But I did what I always do whenever I have trouble sleeping. And I will recommend this to everyone too! It has been one of my secrets but I decided to write it here in my blog so that people reading my posts will also discover this awesome cure for insomnia and be much closer to God as well. I talk to Jesus if I have trouble sleeping. Now how can I talk to Jesus? Well it’s this way – I don’t just pray, I also have a conversation with Jesus. Although He is not “answering” me I know and feel that He’s listening to me. I tell Him all the things I did on that day. I tell Him my worries, my problems. I thank Him for everything. I give Him praise. And I ask for His guidance for the next day again.Try it tonight, having a lengthy conversation with God instead of just praying will give you a peaceful mind therefore make you sleep peacefully as well.

Singing in the choir with SFC is just one of my ways of thanking Jesus and giving back. I know that it’s just a minor thing compared to everything He’s done for me but still in my own little ways I show Him my love and thanks. I just hope I will be with Him in heaven too. Make Jesus your best friend too starting today! I know you won’t regret it. After all, who wants paparazzis following you every second when your BFF is Paris Hilton right? ;)

You guys are probably wondering why the title of this post is “Hoy Angela.” If you really want to know – just ask Monica. LOL

I’m not really in the mood to write right now so I’m going to make this post something like a list without the numbers and bullet points. I just want to document our vacation without writing a full-pledged post. Before I forget all the things we did and the places we went to.

Last Saturday, April 4th me and my friends went to Guimaras. We had to ride a pumpboat to get to Buenavista. Then we headed to Kix’s beautiful house. It’s very relaxing there.

I was with Rino John(my little brother), Monica, Amy, Irene and Tim. Tawtaw and Kix met us up at the Buenavista wharf. Then we went to Kix’s awesome house. The ambiance there is like a rest house or a cottage at the beach. How I wish I could go back there. I might ask Kix if I could. ;)

We ate a delicious lunch prepared by Kix’s Tita. We were surprised because we didn’t expect them to prepare our lunch. We brought lechon manok but what we had was more delicious than lechon manok. Thanks to Kix, Taw, her Tita and her cousins.

After lunch we went to El Retiro Beach. Then to Roca Encantada. It is a big mansion built on top of a rock owned by the Lopezes. We got to go up the mansion and look at the view and it’s structure. Had our photos taken there. Maybe we could all have a house like that someday. Who knows. :)

Then after Roca Encantada we walked on the beach’s shore. We planned to bath and swim there but we couldn’t because there was heavy rains earlier that morning so the water was murky and there were big waves. So Kix and Taw suggested that we go to La Cheska instead and dive in the pool there. Which we did. And we had a great time. There’s nothing like a dip in the pool after a walk at the beach with your very close friends.

When we had our fill of the pool, we went back to Kix’s house again to prepare our dinner. Roland, Amy’s boyfriend arrived later that afternoon. After dinner, we had fun by having a long conversation and catching up on all our lives and gossip girl activities. LOL.  Kix, Taw and I have all resigned from Callbox last year. Irene is going to transfer to Callbox Davao. Monica is resigning this coming May and Amy is just planning to resign but no definite date yet. We talked about so many things, our experiences at Callbox and the people we worked with. Well good thing I’m over that. We went to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. We did some other stuffs but I won’t write them here. It’s our secret. Right guys? ;)

The next day, April 5th, after we ate breakfast we all decided to go to Jordan – to Alubihod Beach. Actually Monica insisted that we go to Alubihod. So we went there and we rented a cottage at Rico’s Beach Resort. Monica finally got what she wanted! LOL. We had fun bathing at the clean beach with the white sand, the caves and the big rocks. There were a lot of people there but not that much. I bet this Holy Week there are more.

We went home later in the afternoon. This time we rode the pumpboat from Jordan wharf to Iloilo City. We were all dead-tired and sleepy but it was worth it because we all had fun and enjoyed our weekend. Words can’t describe the feelings and the experiences we had. It was really great seeing you all guys! Thanks to Kix because she allowed us to stay in their beautiful house and for being our tour guide. Thanks also to all her cousins and relatives who were very accommodating. I just hope and pray that they’ll allow us to go there again. I’m loving the memories. It’s great to catch up with all of you guys! :)

I have uploaded our photos on my different accounts but I have the complete set in my Picasa album. If you wanna see them feel free to do so. The link to the album is below. See my sexy friends! LOL.

And lastly, if you’re curious to know the meaning behind the title of this post, feel free to leave me a comment and I’ll tell. LMAO. :)
