think rainbows

I was with a friend one night and he let me watch a video of one of the episodes from a variety show in Korea. The show's title was Running Man. It was getting late so I didn't even get to finish the whole episode. But boy, it was hilarious! So I tried searching for it on youtube, and luckily I found videos of the show. I started watching some of the other episodes which my friend suggested, and then, I just found myself hooked to the show. What more can I do?

Schedule has been crazy ever since December started; just like how it has always been in the past years. This year's extra special since my Dad is here for the holidays after so many years. He arrived last December 7, and now it's only about 9 days before he leaves again. Yes, time flies. And ever since he arrived, we've always had somewhere to go during the weekends. So we really haven't had a free weekend that much. 

So today I decided to finally put up our Christmas tree. I have always been given the task of doing this every year. It's hard to think about how you're going to decorate it, but I, as well as my mom and my brother, always end up liking what I've done anyway.



I don't know why I got so tired after doing this today. Probably because I was standing the whole time. Good thing I finished it before the match between the Azkals and L.A. Galaxy started, or else I would finish late.

Check it out!

I always find it exciting to shop for Christmas decors and think about what you're going to put up around the house for the holidays. I think that was two years ago when my brother and I went to Divisoria to buy a new Christmas tree and some new Christmas decors for the house. That was the first time that I bought the decors for the house myself since that was my first year at work as well. It is exciting to know too that you could buy what you could usually find at the mall for a cheaper price if you know where to look. ;)

We really didn't have any plans of buying Christmas decors for this year. I guess it just kind of came along. There's this place that we have been hearing so much of which has also been in the news every Christmas season, and we always say that we wanted to visit it, but we are always not able to. Until the time came that we now actually have a chance to go there and see for ourselves what's really in store.

It's this place in Dapitan cor. Kanlaon street, where you could find all kinds of Santa Claus displays. I guess as the years passed by, more and more people were coming, so vendors took advantage of it, and put up their own stores of different Christmas decors, making the place feel like a Divisoria of Christmas decors. There's this building which is kind of the main one called Dapitan Arcade, and there's also another one beside the Santa house which looks like a warehouse. Yes, the prices are, if not actually the same, almost the same as the ones you could find in Divisoria. But it's not as super crowded or magulo as what you would usually see in Divisoria, which I really liked. And it's kind of safer too. =))

Check out the items that we bought. I posted the prices too. =D

We enjoyed every bit of our stay while were at Bohol, but our third day has got to be one for the books. Sea tour!

We made our reservations for the sea tour through the guy whom we made arrangements with for our day tour. The sea tour starts at 5:30am, and once again, our guide/boatman, Kuya Dodong, was on time! We didn't know how we were going to get out of the hotel, since the front door was locked, and there was no one at reception. Good thing there was this bell thing, and someone opened the door for us.

Day 2 was reserved for our Countryside tour. One of our officemates, who was also there during the same weekend, gave us someone whom we could contact for the tour. We heard their tour was good, and for a very affordable price (we paid 2,000, not including the entrance fees, lunch at the river), so we made our reservation.

We were picked up at the hotel at 8am. The one taking us to the tour was very prompt! He was already there while Casey and I were still eating our breakfast. We hired a car, but the guide/driver said that all the cars were already out, so they let us use an Innova instead. Good thing there was no additional fee. =D
