rappelling

September 29th 2009 by Ylan in Sagada, blahs, my photos, trips 0

Rappelling - to lower oneself with a double rope coiled around the body from a mountainside.
Almost! But not quite… but at least! That’s inside Sumaging Cave in Sagada, Mountain Province, Philippines.
Up until now, i can’t believe i did it! Whew! It’s probably nothing to the pros, but for me, it’s a major feat!

less than 100 days

And it’s Christmas 2009! Waah time flies so fast! I can’t get over the idea that we are about to celebrate Christmas again, one of my favorite holidays. I haven’t had the time to post the photos from Christmas last year and here we are, just a few days away for the most awaited occasion. [...]

insurance policy

September 28th 2009 by Ylan in blahs, my thoughts with infos 0

I just realized that the company I’m working with has to renew its insurance policy every year. We are also required to update our dependent’s list by then. As for my case being single, I got my parents in the list. There was an orientation sometime last week but I failed to attend. Too bad [...]

But even before that, i have had some supervisory tasks, or shall we say exposure to it since i almost always take on the responsibility when my immediate [...]

health insurance

September 17th 2009 by Ylan in blahs, my thoughts with infos 0

My mother is a full time stay at home mom since immemorial. So, she doesn’t have an insurance like most employees get from their employer as part of the company benefits. She doesn’t also have an insurance of her own. So, i’m thinking it’s really good if she did have an affordable health insurance of [...]

my million dollar question!

September 15th 2009 by Ylan in blahs, my thoughts with infos 0

I really don’t consider myself fat though many said that i am. I just shrugged it off not because i’m denying it but because i really don’t think that i am that fat! Plus i don’t like being skinny, i prefer curves. But there’s one thing that i admit and i’m still on the quest [...]

me, feeling like a pro

the 3 queens
We probably would look prettier if we wore some equestrian apparel, don’t you think? The photos were taken around Wright Park in Baguio City. Baguio, known to be the summer capital of the Philippines is our last leg from our 5-day trip to Luzon. It’s a bit cold but [...]
