Pager, anyone?!

Remember the time when the beeper/pager were the “IN” thing? That time, I envy those who have but I never had one since my mother won’t allow me to buy one. She said it’s just a waste of money. So, I just shrugged my shoulders and said, “sabagay, hindi naman ganon kaganda yun.” Bitter na bitter di ba?! And now I never expected that I would have one when the IN thing now are 3G phones.

My phone turns into a beeper/pager. I don’t have the latest camphone. I only have these Nokia model 3 yrs old phone and I think my phone wants to retire since I am now experiencing problems with it. Last night, I can’t use my phone’s keypad sometimes it turns off automatically. I can’t use it for texting but I can receive messages. I can open and read it, but I can’t reply since the part of the keypad with letters can’t be used.Haaaayyyy! Ngayon pa sha nagloloko.  Hubby told me to buy a new one, but I don’t want. Tifa will just throw it, sayang lang baka masira ulit. I’ll think about it again if I’m going to buy a new one. Now I’m still using it, my cellphone/beeper/pager/alarm clock.

Big Thanks!

When I had this blog, I really don’t know how to set things here. All I know is writing, posting and updating the blog roll, so hubby’s the one doing all the design. Last night, he spend it by reconstructing my site. Big thanks to hubby. If not for him I will never have a site like this. I love the header, I love the color, I love the template. I love it! Isa na lang kulang. Yung ma approve ako. huhuhu!

Shanghai Oceanarium Experience

I’ve never been in Manila Ocean Park, that’s why i’m very thankful to my husband when he took me Shanghai Oceanarium. It’s quite expensive for 120 RMB per person. We saw different kinds of marine animals that I only saw in books before. The main focus of the Oceanarium are the different creatures that can be found in Yangtze River. According to Wikipedia:

The Yangtze River or Chang Jiang (simplified Chinese: ??; traditional Chinese: ??; pinyin: Cháng Ji?ng) is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world, after the Nile in Africa, and the Amazon in South America. The river is about 6,300 km long and flows from its source in Qinghai Province, eastwards into the East China Sea at Shanghai. It has traditionally been considered a dividing line between North and South China, although geographers consider the Qinling-Huai River line to be the official line of geographical division. As the largest river in the region, the Yangtze is historically, culturally, and economically important to China.

Can you imagine how many species we can find in the river? I wish Tifa were with us, so that she can also see those different species but I doubt that she can appreciate them because she’s only 15 months old. And I don’t think she can take the crowd because it’s holiday when we went there. I remember the Filipino family that we saw inside. Maybe the youngest child in the family were really tired and exhausted because of the cowd. He ddoesn’t want to take the picture anymore and his mother got pissed on the way he acted. He’s mother told him “UMUWI KA NA NGA!” When my husband and I heard it, we were really laughing. Maybe if only they’re in Manila Ocean Park the boy will really go home. But they’re in Shanghai and that is miles away from Philippines. The poor boy just cried, you can’t blame him because it’s really crowded inside. Just seeing the crowd makes me feel tired. The whole place were really nice, but I can appreciate it more if there were fewer people. My favorite of all are the Penguins. When I saw them I ffelt like crying. It’s my first time to see a penguin. Jologs ko no?!

On suitcase and abusive taxi drivers

I was reading the other night a post from Chuvaness about the taxi driver who charged her more than what she expected. I never thought that it will happen on me too. This morning around 5a.m. I arrived in NAIA from the Hopia Wonderland. I told my mother not to fetch me at the airport. Hassle naman for her kase manggagaling pa sha from Tagaytay. So I asked my two sisteraka if they can fetch me and I will just leave my things at their place na lang in Manila since I will go back there tomorrow with Tifa.

 

So, I arrived na nga and we went outside the airport to look for a cab dahil nga dollar rate sa loob ng airport. May napara na kami so sakay na and pagod na din sa byahe and puyat pa. Hindi pa naman kami nakakalayo naalala ko ang METRO! So, I asked manong driver kung inopen na nya ang metro. Hindi daw. Sira-siraan daw ang metro nya so he just gave us this laminated paper for the rate from NAIA to Quirino near Taft Ave. nawala ang antok naming tatlo dahil tumataginting na $20!!! Huuwwwwaaaatttt?!?!?!?DOLLAR!! eh hindi nga kagandahan ang taxi nya at walang aircon. Right then and there I told him to stop the car and we will get off. I told him na wala akong dollar na ibabayad sa kanya at hindi naman aabutin ng ganong halaga from airport to our place. Nakakainit ng ulo. HIndi pa nya kami ibinaba at humirit pa ang lolo nyo na P500.00 na lang daw kung ayaw namin ng $20. And I told him NO DEAL! Ibaba na nya kami bago pa magdilim ang paningin naming tatlo. Umiinit na din kase ulo ng aking mga shopatid at inaaway na si manong driver. They’re telling him na nakarating nga daw sila ng airport na P110.00 lang binayaran tapos maniningil sha ng ganon to think wala naman shang “prangkisa”. Eto nga pala plate nummber nya: TVE 924. I already reported him sa LTFRB. So, si manong driver, ibinaba na kami at sa madilim na lugar pa near airport. We have no choice but to wait fo another cab. So, mega para na naman si atashi.

 

Then, may nakuha na kaming cab and I told manong driver 2 na i-metro nya. So pumayag naman sha, dahil parang pagalit na yata ang boses ko. OK naman sha at ibinaba nya ang metro nya. Kaya lang, panay ang parinig na ambunan naman daw sana namin sha ng dolyares. At eto pa ang ka lerkey na hirit ni manong driver 2, “sana naman ambunan nyo ko ng dollar o lapad. malaki naman yata ang kita nyo sa mga hapon o arabo. san ba kayo sa dalawa?” at eto na lang din ang nasabi ko. “wala sa dalawa. manong, ganyan ba talaga dapat ka garapal?!” The taxi driver charged us P90.00 from NAIA to Quirino. Pero parinig pa din ng parinig. Naman! Kainis! Hindi naman porke may malaking maleta na dala at nasa may airport eh ma-anda na. di ba?! Kalerkey tong mga taxi driver na to. Gusto ko kayong balatan at patakan ng kalamansi.

Hopia Wonderland 2.0

I’m back! I’m back in the blogosphere with my new theme (big thanks to hubby for upgrading my site and changing my theme) and I’m back here in Hopia Wonderland. Actually, I’m here for more than two weeks now. Sorry if I posted this one too late, I’m enjoying time with hubby. We’ve been to different places, you can look at our pictures at Kotsengkuba’s site. He already posted some and I’m still studying the gallery part of this site. According to hubby dear it’s better than before and I’m still exploring it since I can only use his notebook at night when he gets back home from work. So what am I doing with my daily existence here if there’s no pc and internet? I do household chores and after that I watch CCTV9, the only english channel here, I read books and magazines that I brought with me. Sometimes I take walk outside, go to the parks or buy something from the convenient stores around the village, but I don’t talk with them. I just smile. hehehe! It will be a major head boom boom if I will try.heheheh!

I got a message from MsPinkBiik telling me that she tagged me. Sorry girl, I can’t do that here since the great firewall of China blocked many sites. I can only open my emails and friendster account. Waaahhhh!!! Napakalupit nila!! :(( As soon as I get back in Philippines I will do it. Promise!

Prisoners in China

25 Pinays who are supposed to work in China are now in jail. According to the news, an African men whom they don’t know personally approach them while they were still in the airport here in the Philippines asking them if they can help them  bring some of their baggage since they already reached the allowed maximum weight of baggage per passenger.  These African men promised them to pay $300 if they will bring the bag with them but upon arrival at the airport in China, the Pinays were arrested for Drug trafficking. The sad part is, the African men were not with them since they told them that they will take the next flight going to China and told them that they will call as soon as they get there. They were just helping and now, they’re the one who are in prison and waiting for what punishment they will give to them.

 

I know it’s really natural for us Filipino to be helpful with others, but what if these things will happen to us? The lesson here is, it’s okay to be kind and helpful with others but we should also be aware that there are some people who’s trying to win your trust and won’t do good on you. I hope that the Philippine Consulate General in China will help these women since the reason why they’re going in China is to work for their family here in Philippines and not to sell drugs. Should they have known about these earlier, maybe they will never help those foreign men. Let’s pray for them and I hope that they will be free soon.

What’s Happening Now?!

I woke up this morning feeling deppressed. Why? Because I heard from the news that the price of petroleum gas increased again by P0.50! OH MEN!!!! If I remember it right,  the increase started since the last week of February up to now. And it’s the 7th time na nag increase. If you’re going to sum it up, nasa P3.50 na ang itinaas. Am I going to use a bicycle now? Oh my gulay!! Kahit gulay ang mahal na din. And just this morning I bought a milk for our daughter, I asked the store clerk if the milk already increased, good thing because according to her there’s no memo yet about the price increase for the milk but not until May. Hay! Taas ng taas ng presyo ng bilihin pero hindi naman nagtataas ng sweldo.
