#MyDayInBCD

Merry Christmas to you all. Went away with my usual Christmas post for a change. Last December 13, Me and my friends were able to take part in one of the Ingress anomaly 'Darsana' in Manila. It was a fun filled afternoon ruined by the torrential rain just right when the 1st measurement started, we got all wet right from the very start. Sadly our faction did not win but the entire adventure is totally priceless. Peace! Bacolod Resistance Agents #resbcd  Travel Buddies

December. It's that month once again, seems everyone are looking forward for this month to come, thinking about holiday vacations and shopping sprees. Looking back how the year went for me makes me glad that despite of all the challenges I was able to come out feeling happy and satisfied. After years of being silent and trying to heal wounds of the past I thought it's really time to move on and start with something new but sometimes situations are really not in our side, you end being hurt further. More than ever. But was glad that I tried a bit. Peace!

That's how many months? 4 months since the last post on my blog where I talked about the game Ingress and here I am posting another one still about the game. Since that summer walkathon we had our Ingress Bacolod family got bigger, I never imagined that step can lead to where we are right now. Last September we had our 1st event a localized battle between the 2 factions in our school, we called it The USLS Clash. Around 42 players from both sides, other came all the way from Cebu and Manila. Sadly the other faction won that event, we were out numbered but it was a great experience that left us thinking what would it be like if it's the official anomaly. We are lucky that on December 13 there's a satellite event in Manila called Darsana anomaly and we hope to take part on that day. Peace! Resistance Bacolod

One Sunday afternoon I'm out driving to a place I'm not really familiar with, looking at my gps occasionally making sure I'm on the right direction and going to the right spot. My destination, Talisay City Hall. Arriving at the area I saw my target and there's two of them, driving slow to get the right distance from the center just enough for my deployments to spread wide. Eight resonators and two modifications for each of them, hacked it for about 3 times to get some keys and I'm done. Next stop, a church along the highway going back to the big city. I missed my spot, need to leave my vehicle and walk through the area, location is off the road so one must walk to an alley to capture it. One guy is staring at me maybe wondering what the heck is he doing? Deployment is done, keys secured. Monday is another day, it's work to most of us but to me and to others of my kind it's another day of resistance. We're out making sure that the city is protected from ...

I don't really understand why the need to interrupt the president during his speech. While free speech is a guaranteed right there's a proper forum for that exercise. In this country we have left leaning partylist groups in our congress, the same groups behind the street rallies we often see in the news. To use the reason of "wanted to be heard" thus heckling is quite out of order. The presidency is the highest position in this land one can ever take and it must be regarded with so much respect and honor. If our people can't do that, how do we expect the same people to respect the heads in our family, our parents. Peace!

Never been really a religious person myself but living in the biggest Christian nation in Asia makes one go on how the holy week is observed. Holy week is a moment for Roman Catholics and other believers to stop for awhile and reconnect with the religious side of their lives. Not all religiously observes the old practices though, for some it's the time to hit the beach or travel to places for some relaxing moments away from the busy city life. Visita Iglesia or Church visits is one of those widely done practices where one tries to visit 7 churches to pray in the 14 stations of the cross in each church. Peace!

It's officially summer here in the Philippines and the weather is totally unlikable. Temperature peaked at 32 Degrees Celsius (89.6 f) as I write its 30 and its almost midnight. Summer class starting soon, gonna need to prep some materials for the Android classes. Peace!

Asked my students to write an essay about their experience taking Information Technology and here are some of the quotable words. Peace!  IT students needs lots of dedication and originality.                                                - Ronald Poja (IT) Makes me stay awake at 3am and sometimes 5am having a date with my laptop.                                                                                                  - Mary Joy Torevilla IT will always be my kind of crazy.                 - Angeli Nicole Morales

I quit counting long time ago that sometimes I'm confused already lol. I'm really thankful to all the people that surrounds me, my entire journey is totally amazing with them. My ever loving family who doesn't fail to support me in whatever things I do. And most of all to God who never leave my side, this life of mine is always dedicated to Him. Thank you for everything. Peace!

I could still remember that time when a foreign reporter narrated the realities on the ground after a catastrophic event happened in this country, everyone was so happy (some considered him a hero) that it highlighted the real scenario of what is really being done on the ground. Many said that it took a foreign journalist to point out several things for the truth to come out and they're very thankful. Just recently, a travelling blogger, a foreigner, created a blog post of her experience visiting the Philippines. In her post, she found Filipino food unlikable making it to her "will never eat again list". A description of her experience eating street foods; in an eatery or karenderya as we called them and those not so fresh vegetables and fruits found in the local market or palengke. Telling about her experience which is also the reality everyone seems to come out hating her. Their reason, she didn't went to popular places that serves "real" Filipino food, w...

Whenever you are in the City of Smiles what comes on top of your wishlist is always about what and where to eat. Visitors in the city enjoys the local offerings and versions of popular national foods. One of the famous food we have is the chicken inasal or chicken bbq, you can't find other places that captures the taste and uniqueness of Bacolods' inasal. Next is the Batchoy of noodle soup, a comfort food to every Bacolodnons. In the coming days I'll be reviewing some of the best restaurants and food within the city. Peace!

You'll hear argument questioning where's the honor code now after they graduate? Asked maybe in relation to some cases where some graduates were implicated in some corrupt practices. It's like being a part of a family, our parents molded us to be a good person to others; be responsible; be principled and be a God fearing individual. As we grow and face the challenges in real life, our parents has no way to control each and every decisions we make but they know and they are not worried if we may make mistakes it is because they are confident we will live a life built on their teachings. It may not be true to all though, particularly those who grew with so much challenges in the family, like a broken one. What you become will never be based on how you were trained or taught, it is about the personal conviction to do what is right or wrong. At the end of the day, where would you prefer to be? The one where you are thought to be good or somewhere who don't. Peace!

You'll never know who will stab you at the back, sometimes the very people you thought were your friends are the ones who put you down. Maybe, we are just too complacent with our surroundings that we start to trust people too much and later found ourselves feeling betrayed. Peace!
