Homeward

Migriño, not Migrino

I will be flying back home to Bohol on the 3rd! I miss home, our dogs, our kitchen and my family. I made a short list that I need to accomplish in two weeks time. I'll be flying with Airphil Express (see my revamp of the Airphil Express blog here) from Iloilo to Cebu then Cebu to Tagbilaran via fast craft.

I made this list so that I'll have reachable goals when I get home and not just stare at this, whole day!

All things bright and beautiful!

I'm going to enjoy breakfast again with this in front of me. Read my bible and have coffee the usual but this list will help me to be more productive since I have more resources at home like: a much faster internet connection, a camera and my sister Scarlet as my personal slave assistant.

Obedience Training

Dixie and Maska 

Having a large dog at home is no joke. The first week we had him in Bohol, it was chaos! Piss here, poop there and the cycle begins anew. It didn't took him long though to learn that he's not allowed to do those kind of deeds inside the house. I think only after a week, he has already adapted to the schedule given to him. He and I share the same room at first, at 2am in the morning I'm dreaming about dog poop, then I woke up and there's dog poop all over the floor.

I miss my baby boy, Mum said he's doing well with his mostly vegetable diet. The only problem now is his prey drive. He's a cross between a Siberian Husky and a Belgian Malinois. Both have high prey drives and both have extra extra extra energy because both breeds are working dogs! I really don't have the budget for a personal trainer so I'm scouring the web and watching the Dog Whisperer and try to get some new insights on how to train. If you have some advice of some kind, please do share it with me in the comments below.

Cake Garden

Cake Garden
If you've been reading for a while here, Cake Garden is our own small family business on cakes and pastries.  We also have short courses on desserts, cakes and full meal courses.  I really need to revamp or upgrade and add new posts to the Cake Garden blog.  It's hard to make posts when you're away.  So while I'm home for two weeks, I'll try to document Mum's cakes and pastries.  I'll also be adding new posts on the Recipe category, I'll force ask Mum to try out new recipes.  Also, visit the Cake Garden Gallery and browse our favorites.

Hello Bohol



After seeing the video from Mike Matas, I was blown away (no, not literally). It was so simple, elegant and awesome. I had this concept before on showcasing the city of Tagbilaran, read here. Somehow it died due to severe procrastination and lack of inspiration. Now, I just want to do it and do it I will! I think it's also a good chance to really understand the basics of photography. I think I have a good eye for photography but knowing your stuff is also another thing. Though a nurse's wage is far cry to having a DSLR, who knows, someone might be so good that they'll give me one!

So here's my to-do list in two weeks time. I didn't include there beach bumming but I think I don't need to highlight that - oh, I just did!

Symbolism

Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now.  How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag?  Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies.  Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind?  Well, that makes us both.  A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.

Parley

I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens.  I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up. I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in.  Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed.  Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article.  Who wouldn't be?  But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized.  You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person.  I only found two response articles via Twitter:  " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ".  If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or

Paradise

T he province of Bohol is one of the most visited places in our country. Foreign and local tourists alike flock to this " God's Little Paradise " to see it's nature, beauty, beaches and culture. I have a dedicated Bohol blog at Bohol Interactive to showcase the province through the community. Last January I featured Massimo Casal , a photographer now based on Indonesia but has his fair share of Bohol, his travel article and book project . Just last week, I got another heads up that he is currently on a new project, a " Photo Book on Bohol ". I get to see the amazing sights of Bohol both popular and the unexplored in his 39-page preview. Dive Bohol Massimo studied as an engineer. His work has given him the opportunity to travel around the world and particularly around Southeast Asia. Through his travels he has cultivated his love for photography. He also has great sets from Hanoi , Vietnam , Myanmar , Cambodia , Thailand , Taiwan , Europe and
