April fool's South Surf (Part 2)

April 2011
Location: Malabsay Falls and CWC in Camarines Sur

Ok so I had an entry about my surf in Daet (it's all written here, April fool's South Surf Part 1). It was a day trip surf. After getting high and stoked from surfing, time to travel back to Naga.

Malabsay Falls
The next day was all about Naga, Camarines Norte. In the morning we went to Mt. Isarog National Park.

Mount Isarog National Park was declared as a national park since 1938, and harbors rainforest, endemic wildlife, waterfalls and is home to nomadic Negrito (Agta) tribes people. Mt. Isarog, an inactive volcano, rises in the heart of the province of Camarines Sur, the central part of the Bicol Peninsula about 450 kilometers south of Manila. It is the highest forested peak in Southern Luzon. (Visit Profiles to know more about Mt. Isarog)

We didn't go to the peak of Mt. Isarog. We went to Malabsay Falls, a 40 foot high wonder located on the slope of Mt. Isarog. It took us 15 to 20 minutes trek to the falls. Very very nice! Upon reaching the falls, took off clothes and enjoyed swimming in the cold cold water. It was sparkling clear water. I even tried drinking. Just refreshing after the swim.



Bigg's Diner
For lunch, we went to Bigg's Diner, located at the Centro in Naga. Just a side story about Bigg's... Since the day we arrived in Jed's place, Ken and Eric always mentioned that we eat at Bigg's. They've been telling us how delicious the fried chicken there. Finally we set foot at Bigg's Diner! It's a fast food chain whose interior is very hip and modern just like in Johnny Rockets. I ordered one-piece crispy chicken. And yesss! Sobrang sarap nga ng chicken nila! I've also tried their Extreme Burger! Sobrang sarap din. Must try when you go to Naga. Unfortunately they only have outlets in Bicol. I hope to have money and bring Bigg's here in Manila!

Wake board @ CWC- (Camsur Water Complex)
It's my first time to try wake boarding. I've watched it in Sports Unlimited I think last year and it looked pretty easy! Wake boarding costs 165pesos per hour and that includes helmet, vest and board. There's a deposit payment of 500pesos just in case you damage their equipment. Ok ready. Waited for out turn. I can't explain how to do wake boarding. Honestly after how many times of trying I still didn't get the hang of it! The feeling was weird, the take off once the cable starts moving. I surely need another session!

That ends my Naga-Daet trip! I had a really good time. Just being away from the pollution in Manila and the busy life was so refreshing.

I'll be surfing again on May, that's for sure! Haler Baler it is.

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
