My Splendid Experiences @ SM City CDO

I rarely visit SM City Cagayan and if I do I see to it that I would surely enjoy every minute of it. I find it advantage when I visit in SM City Cagayan on my own because I get to be anywhere I want to enjoy and chill.
I usually love to have fun at the Arcade and play games. It feel so good to just enjoy and be a kid again. I also love to sing my heart out at the videoke booth not minding if I got the tune right.
Next, I usually don't miss to drop and shop at Artwork since I love the designs of their blouses. And I also spend much time at Department Store where I could look for affordable things or anything to shop that would satisfy my craves for dresses and shoes. I don't really shop to much since I only got tight budget for my outfits. However, I like to stroll around the shops and boutiques and do some window shopping for me to have some ideas of new fashion looks that I could use when I mix and match the dresses I got in my closet.
And if I got tired of strolling and just want to rest. I watch a movie at the SM Cinema. I like to watch at the Cinema because its very comfortable and the atmosphere is freezing that you would love to hug the person next to you. Good for those who watch movies and have tag-along friend or lover.
My last stop is my ever favorite of all, the food shops. I usually ate at Jollibee and order my favorite value meal which is the burger, fries and softdrinks. Or If I want a full meal I ate Chowking and enjoy the Pork Chow Fan, drinks and halo-halo.
Thats it Folks! I hope you enjoy my splendid experiences at SM City Cagayan. Im looking forward for more wonderful shopping and chilling experiences at SM City Cagayan especially now that they already launched a mall wide Wi-fi access.

My First Wordcamp!

This was my first to attend Wordcamp Philippines 2009 with Cherry, Chiq Montes, Janlac and Magman today. We were actually delayed when we arrive since we woke-up already late, and the driver doesn't know where Asian Institute Management- Wordcamp venue is located. Good thing when we arrived the program haven't started and we were able to register and meet some of the soon to be speaker (Lyle Santos) and emcee (Migs Hipolito) of Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3. The event was all in all fun and exciting. We get to meet fellow bloggers and get to learn useful tips in using Wordpress, blogging, citizen journalism, and updates of Firefox.

After Wordcamp we went to Greenbelt and stroll around. However Chiq Montes didn't accompany us since she still had a meeting with PBA organizers. It was also nice meeting fellow plurkers Crixxie and Evanne who are kind enough to gave us a ride back to Kabayan Hotel.

My First Scary Plane Travel

I and my fellow CDObloggers travel Manila today. Some of us will attend the WordCamp and the others are going to spend weekend in Bagiou. This was my first time to travel Manila and my first time to travel by plane. I have heard some funny and unforgetable experiences from cousin and relatives on their first travel by plane already and now I finally had my own stories to tell too.

My first experienced was scary... as in very scary! 

We travel through Cebu Pacific Air 390 and boarding time was even delayed in a couple of minutes. When were in the air we experienced turbulence since the weather was not good. The moment the plane starting to get a little bit of shaky I was really scared. Oh my gosh! We even experienced a 3 seconds rush. Its like the plane is avoiding something and just wheeeewww... I cant really explained! Some of the passengers already vomited because of that sickly feeling. 

I know what we had experienced just recently was not really that scary to regular travelers but man that was way to much for a newbie. 

Anyways, that's it folks I'm going to rest now. I just hope when we go home to Cagayan de Oro the same experienced wont happen again. :-)
