looking back to the year that was.. 2016

Happy new year to everybody reading this blog! Sorry I've been slow in the
postings and plan to change that. One thing about not posting is that it becomes a
habit, because I experience so much each day and have so much to
write, if I don’t do it for a few weeks it becomes well, too much to write about
and I leave it. Anyway the activities here in my LANSHOP is tiring and most of
the times hard work is behind me so will have much more spare time for such
things now.

Christmas presents

 I once thought that whoever invented  "Christmas gift giving" is some great
businessman. the Christmas rush is about buying presents to be given to, exchanged
with, people, customers, neighbors, friends, office mates, love interest, wife etc.
thats where the magic of Christmas is always a big hit. try not giving a present
to someone who asked "namamasko po" and he will remember you all throughout
the year and will be "unfriended" in real life on that moment.

christmas toycon 2016

It’s that time of year again. 

boys and girls singing christmas carols, toystores  with long lines , 

the infamous EDSA Christmas rush traffic. 

And everyone, everyone, big and small kids alike will visit megamall....

this weekend ... on a friday night, its called Christmas toycon for a reason. 

It’s got a routine to it, a familiarity, and it’s the start of the Christmas 

season proper for toy lovers like me! So, for anyone living in the 80s

or who has not been introduced to the joys of toys...

Here is a guide to What To Expect in megamall come friday night.

pinto art museum

They say unplanned trips always push through, and thats what we did yesterday

with long time friends.  we thought of going to the National Museum at first

but when I suggested to we go to an art sanctuary in Antipolo, they thought ok, 

lets start our adventure. so off we go to somewhere different, a place where 

contemporary art meets a touch of greens and nature.

LAKAD PAMANA: Baguio roadtrip

When I found out that LAKAD PAMANA is organizing a tour to the North
Manaog-Baguio, Lingayen-Tarlac-Pampanga. I told myself.. I'm IN!
so early in the morning we meet up in our place at early Saturday Dec. 3
230am  and started our journey to Mc Donalds trinoma to meet the others.

LAKAD PAMANA: baguio-manaog roadtrip

how do you spend 1600.00? if you have 1600 extra money?
I got an idea!
Its the first week of December and I thought of rewarding myself with a
our from my favorite tour group -THE LAKAD PAMANA of Mister D.
this time, its an overnight stay at Baguio, yes, I have been to Baguio twice
this yr, last summer,  and on my birthday. but I know this tour will be different
because the group is going uphill to Diplomat hotel, the grotto, the botanical
gardens, mines view park and bencab!! yeah!! and on the second day, a stop
over to the beaches of Lingayen. all for 1600.00!!
