Cebu Pacific's Dancing Flight Attendants

A new viral video is now spreading fast across cyberspace from Philippine's Cebu Pacific Airlines. Instead of the usual simple demonstration of safety procedures, flight attendants dance to Lady Gaga's "Let's Dance" and Katy Perry's "California Gurls" while a pre-recorded voice-over is heard giving out the safety instructions. Whoever thought of this marketing scheme is pure genius!!!

Check it out! :)

Adoration Chapel of the Pink Sisters

A trip to Tagaytay is not complete without visiting the Adoration Chapel of the Pink Sisters. My family and I would always pass by the chapel to hear mass or just to pray for a few minutes. I always believe in the power of prayers. Whenever I have a problem or I need something, I always turn to either the Pink Sisters (Tagaytay or New Manila) or the Sisters of St Claire Monastery (Katipunan) and ask them to pray for me.

As a testimony of the power of prayers, I remember when I was in high school, I went to St Claire and wrote down three wishes (which at that time were impossible to happen). I recited St Claire's novena. I even asked for the prayer assistance of the St Claire sisters and my wishes were granted eventually. My prayers were not answered immediately all at the same time. There were interval of months. I actually forgot about the list that I gave to the sisters. But one day, while visiting the monastery, I suddenly remembered and realized that all my prayers were answered. From then on, I've always believed in asking the sisters for prayer assistance.

Sunday in Tagaytay

My family and I went to Tagaytay City yesterday to unwind and see the Taal Volcano Island. It turned out to be a rainy and foggy Sunday in Tagaytay so there wasn't much to see. Anyway, at least my family spent quality time together again.

We had lunch at Taalena Bar and Restaurant.(which will always do..for us, it's just either a toss up between Taalena and Josephine Restaurant) Since it's at the Tagaytay ridge, it has a nice view of the Taal Lake and Volcano on sunny days.

Food here is similar to the Filipino food served at Dencio's and Gerry's Grill. I also noticed that the prices are a little bit higher now. (One dish is usually priced between P200+ to 300+)


These are the clearer shots I managed to get at the balcony of Taalena Restaurant. There were even occasions of zero visibility. It made me feel like I was in Baguio City.

I just love snow globes!

I started my fascination with snow globes (waterglobes or snowdomes) after I watched the korean series, "My Girl". The lead actor, Seol Gong Chan (Lee Dong Wook) bought a snow globe for Joo Yoo Rin (Lee Da Hae) as a birthday gift. Yoo Rin grew up not knowing the exact date of her birthday and the only thing she remembered was that it was always snowing during her birthday. When Gong Chan and Yoo Rin got separated, Gong Chan would always buy snow globes every year every time it started snowing. When Gong Chan eventually found her again, he gave her all the snow globes he bought all those years they were apart. I thought that was so romantic.

Anyway, since I still don't have my Seol Gong Chan to buy me all those snow globes, I decided to just start collecting them. ha!ha! Not just simply buying them online or from a store...but I want to buy them every time I travel as remembrance to a particular place or country.

This one I bought when I went to Las Vegas with my family.

This one was from Disneyland @ Anaheim, California.

This one was actually from Las Vegas also when we passed by the Circus Circus Hotel.

I was supposed to buy a snow globe when we visited Universal Studios Theme Park in L.A., but my cousin said that it was too expensive. He told me I should just buy from the stores outside of the theme park. I ended up not buying any because we didn't have the time to look for one. Moral of the story: If you want something, just buy it immediately! ha!ha!

Hopefully I'll get to travel again so that I can buy more snow globes.
