My First Snow Experience

Its been a childhood dreams of mine to see a snow. I been seeing it a lot on TV and i said to myself "one day i will experienced snow myself. Last year there was a snow in UK even when we go to London it was snowing, but you know thae snow that melts as soon as it hits the ground? It was just like that. We went to the London Eye and snow keeps falling we cant barely see the outside because the snow was in the glass and makes foggy.It was like that. It was a big snowflakes but melt right away. I wanted to see a snow that will covered the ground and makes the surroundings all white. I want a snow that i can build a snowman. We went to Wales in Snowdonia hoping to see snow, because it was January 2016 and its winter still. Yeah there was a snow but its just like what England had, it melts right away. So basically last year here in UK same month i only experienced a frosty dangerous slippery road.

This year, last week there was a snow also but sad to say the snow was just same as last year. It snows for 30 mins and gone and back after 30 mins and last for 10 mins, no white surroundings at all. But just last Saturday i keep on checking my weather update, it says that there will be snow Sunday start at 3am. I cant even fall asleep i want to wait till 3am hahaha and it says its 100% snow so i am very much excited. I fall asleep so late like 12mn i was so sleepy. Then i woke up like 5 or 6am, wahhhh i was like OMG the snow. I wish and crossed finger that the snow didn't melt that the snow is there still. I go to the window and open it Viola it was dark but the surroundings are white, and snow keep falling still.OMG OMG OMG i jump and just like went crazy. Hubby was in the toilet and i ran and screamed to him like "It's snowwwwwing outside" hahahaha

I cant wait for him to finished his business there so i put my winter gear on and ran to the door. I cant believe it, this is really now a real snow and its covering the road its like 2 inches of snows all over. I dont care if its too early but i went out and savour the moment of the falling snow on me. I was just like a super happy kid, dancing in the snow and had a first snow ball fight. It was an unforgettable experienced for me. It was a dream come true. A childhood dream come true. #DreamsDoComeTrue

Wala gyod ko katoo bah. Its been three days but the snow is still there outside it starts to melt and becoming dangerous kay migahi naman ag snow nga natunaw nag ice naman. Lain kaau paminawon kun naa sakyanan kay ka crunchy kaau. I went out yesterday and it was really slippery. Also here in UK, people are not really used of snow as snow here is very seldom, so for them snow is dangerous, and yeah i see it. The struggle is real, the road are dangerous. On the day of snow everybody enjoy it, not just me or the kids but almost everybody. Below are the photos :)










Yes i was surely a happy kid that day. One of the most unforgettable experienced. I don't even get inside the house until my feet get numb from the coldness lol

Spicy Noodle Challenge with the Bisdak girls in England

Well since the samyang challenge is so famous right now, we were intrigued on that kind of noodles. One of my friend went to an asian store and saw this Samyang noodles its just 2X spicy. She bought 2 packs and share it with the three of us. The challenge was no more milk of water during the eating time hahaha. Pitkanay dalunggan kun kinsa moinom gatas ug tubig. 

But then it was really spicy for us. Anything we saw in the table we ate. I saw chocolate, i ate. She saw banana and fried fish, she ate. Saw a ripe mango we ate. Hahaha no more milk or water involved till the challenge was done. OMG so spicy.

Morag namaak sa ka halang gud. Hahahaha

I am BLESSED and PROTECTED by HIM




It was Tuesday, a usual day for me. Planned to go out with friend. The chair above is my chair. I sit there all the time, watch tv, sometimes even eating meals, and just using laptop browsing net, i sit in that chair. 

Around 10am saw some guys go up in our ceiling to go up in the neighbourhood's ceiling, they are cleaning, they have vacuum with them. It was just okay, i was still sitting in the chair watching TV. Hour after i stand up to get food and planned to get ready to leave. After i reheat the food i went to my chair to eat and watch tv, but my phone was lowbat so i went to the room to charge my phone and get the Laptop. While i was in the room i heard a loud "boom" and heard some fallen broken glass. I hurriedly go out in the room and saw that thing in my chair. OMG I feel like crying when i saw that and imagine myself in there, what if i was there sitting still my God maybe some broken glass was in my head and bloods coming out. Ohhh i am afraid of a lot of blood maybe i passed out. 

I am so thankful from above, he spared me from that accident. See God moves in a mysterious way, He just let me get up before that accident happen. I am really blessed and protected by him. I can't ask for more. PAPA GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PROTECTION. Even you're just at home accident happen even how much you take care yourself. Only HIM above knows and will protect us. Just keep praying and have faith with HIM.

My 30'th Birthday


Thank you to all the birthday greetings!!
Stonehenge the first place i visited when arrived England

The Peak in Hong Kong

Dear Me,


Today is my thirtieth birthday, and in my 30 years of existence i am so very blessed, so many things to be thankful for.

During my childhood days, i dreamed of eating fried chicken in Jollibee, (only seen it on TV ads) many years later i only not eating fried chicken in Jollibee, instead i am working in Jollibee. I dreamed of finishing my studies, college study by hook or by crook, 5 years after high school, i graduated college by my own (my parents cant afford to send me to college so i do it with my own) I was being a nanny a housemaid, house helper, a working student while i was studying. When i got 18 i am allowed to work on private companies so that's why i worked in Jollibee till i graduated college, a lot of happenings in my life on those times that made me want to give up but i am so determined to finish my study, because in our family no one finishes college so it was me will be the first one and i really want to finish so i can have a brighter future. With God's blessings and guidance i finished despite of the hardships. (Aside from my family who wasnt there physically, there are a lot of good samaritans helping me along the way, I am very much thankful to all of them, my teachers, classmates, Jollibee East family, Cousins, friends, and all the people around me in those times)

When i was young, i always heard that Manila is beautiful, manila has a lot of opportunities, manila offered big salary. When i was young i dreamed of riding on a big Ship and sailed across the sea. While harvesting corn in a corn fields saw an airplane up in the sky as small as an ant, and dreamed of riding it on one day. I dreamed of working in a good company, sitting in a comfortable chair, with my own table in an air conditioner room. I dreamed of traveling in and out of the country. All of it happened, I was on Negros Navigation sailing to Manila 6 months after college graduation. After one month of staying in Manila, i was hired to a great company and doing what exactly i was dreaming of. I become an office girl. Having a good salary, hardships was paid off. Helped my parents financially. After a year of working, i planned to visit my family in the province, my friends/officemates went with me, booked a ticket in an airplane and finally riding an airplane happened. My first flight was on Air Asia going to Bohol. It was awesome.

When i was young i dreamed of traveling in and out of the country. After high school i went to Bacolod City to study college (i am from bohol) going there was my first travel ever. After years of being an office girl, i travel a lot locally. I been to Cebu, Ilo-ilo, Guimaras, Antique, Baguio, Batangas, Bataan, Laguna, Tagaytay, Quezon Province, Boracay, Palawan, Albay. Some of it was company travel but most of it was for leisure fulfilling my dreams. Just 2015 an out of the country travels happened. On the day of my birthday me and my college classmate vers went to Hong Kong. Out of the Country for the first time. We went to disney land, and more tourist attractions in Hong Kong like Victoria Harbour, The Peak, Hong Kong Park and we went to Macau too, after that i am still keep on hoping for next out of the country travels. I had a Singapore travel, had a tickets and accommodation already but sad to say i was late due to traffic and ddnt make it to the airport on time. Singapore is not meant for me.

When i was young (teens), I dreamed of having a white BF and get married before thirty years old. I dont know why but i love watching english movies than filipino movies even though i dont really understand what it says. My mindset was just for a white guy, I only had one Filipino boyfriend. It did not last for too long, it was just months maybe, i forgot lol he was my co worker in Jollibee back then, hahaha but my main focus that time was study and i get worried i wont finish when i have a BF. When i was in Manila i sign up in online dating sites and believe me i had a lot of white BF's online but met only few in person. It was not easy, i got a lot of heartache, even online you get attached too hahaha. Been in a dating sites for years. When about to gave up, i just prayed to God, yes i prayed that one day i will find the man of my dreams. I dreamed of a blue eyes, 6 footer, kind, loving, caring, the list go on. Yes one day God sent me the man for me, not the man of my dreams but more than that.

Two years before my 30'th birthday God sent me the man I was dreaming of, a white guy, but not a blue eyes and a 6 footer, he has a brown eyes and a 5 footer. It just popped up on my yahoo mail notification, got curios and opened and start a conversation, and that conversation never missed a day, always everyday never missed a good morning, good night, breakfast, lunch, dinner. After a month of talking we become in relationship and after months of in relationship he went to Philippines to see me. First meeting everything went smoothly, so fine and great. He is more than the man i am dreaming off, he is so kind and loving, caring and more list goes on on. 
After a week of being together, he went back to UK, communications still going on, and on and never missed a day without talking to each other, weekend was always a video call date. Months passed by he went to Philippines for the second time to see me. That's the time he met all my families and asking their permission to marry me. Before he goes back to UK he proposed to me yay.

He invited me to UK to be with him, apply a Visa and being blessed that tourist Visa was approved. (He is not a British Citizen just in the UK for work, he is from USA.) So going to UK was my second international flight, and celebrating my birthday home away from home. 
We planned our wedding and it was happened a month  before my birthday. Yes i am now married. Another dream come true. I walked in the aisle with a long wedding gown and white flowers everywhere.

Watching Fairy Tales and Movies with castles and palaces on it makes me dreamed to see a real castles and palace. So its a dream come true again as a lot of castles and palaces all over UK. Conway Castle, Dover Castle, Dolbadarn Castle, Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Blenheim Palace, Warwick Castle, Caernarfon Castle.  


After our wedding, I was blessed again. My tourist visa was approved for the second time. I am here now in the UK for the second time and celebrating my birthday home away from home for the third time. Celebrating 30'th birthday with the Husband.
Dreams do come true, dont give up on your dreams, nothing is impossible. Focus on your dreams, work on it, Believe in God. Have faith in him. Trust him.

This is me on my special day.
This is all the short stories happened before i get 30.This is really a short story of my struggles before i am who i am right now. If i am going to write all of it, i guess it will takes a month and hundreds of pages. hahahha
Tomorrow will be another chapter of my life. Hoping for another 30 years. Soon i will look back to this.

I AM BLESSED.

The Viewfort Venue Review


I dont own these images. I grab these from google.

These are the few things my friend and my husband's review on The Viewfort Venue. I have nothing to say as they already said it all. These reviews are actually on their facebook site but i dont know why when we view the site we cant see it so i decided to blog it instead. Ayaw ko po silang siraan or whatever but ito po yon talaga ang mga opinions namin. Wala man lang nag reach out sa amin about the reviews.

This is from my tita/friend/outside coordinator's review.
I assisted in the outside preparations for friends' wedding, and oversaw the flow on the big day at Viewfort, and we were disappointed because the services we got was way below than the amount we paid. Saving grace? The bride's make up artist and the emcee.


1) you offered a package and assigned different suppliers accredited by your resort. But your suppliers seem not coordinated. You created a group chat but everyone was talking to the bride separately. Even up to the last minute, you keep bugging the already stressed bride.

Tama bang sabihin nyo na magrelax and pray lang dahil wala namang perfect wedding? Even after the final meeting 1 week before the wedding, may mga sinasuggest pa kayong changes na di aware ang coordinator, and ibang suppliers na part ng preparation.



2) security issue, walang bantay sa entrance pagdating namin, and no one received us to assist sa room namin. May dumaan lang na staff nyo na nagsabing dun kami sa taas. 



3) we reserved 3 rooms and nakaspecify ang room numbers, but pagkacheck-in ng foreigner guests namin, sabi nyo 2 rooms lang ang kinuha namin, and occupied ng iba ang connecting rooms.

4) make aure you clean up the rooms before you let the guests check in, ang mga banyo di nalinis, may soiled diaper pa.

5) ang welcome drinking water dumating lang kinabukasan nung nagcomplain na kami, lahat kami uhaw the night before (you allowed us to check in at 9pm)

6) last minute changes ng backdrop dahil di coordinated

7) assembly na ng entourage naghahanap pa ng bridal car

8) we asked for official receipts for our payments, provisional receipt lang ang bonibigay nyo, ang sabi di daw nag iissue ng OR. Hindi kayo nagrereport ng income nyo sa BIR? Sabihin nyo pang magdagdag kami ng 12% kung gusto namin ng OR. Hello, rule of thumb vatinc yan kung di specified sa advertised package nyo.

9) make sure na ang mga accredited suppliers nyo na inaassign sa clients nyo are professionals. Nagpalit na pala kami ng coordinator nalaman lang namin less tham 2 weeks before the wedding. Walang proper turnover, ni ha ni ho wala na kaming narinig sa may ari ng instyle. Yung pinalit di nya alam yung usapan with the groom to assist in translating some of his words in tagalog. Nung nakipagmeeting kami and may question sa dating coordinator ng instyle ang sagot laging wag magworry dahil pagagandahin ng bingga ang wedding.

10) the bride was worried during the ceremony dahil sira ang upuan nila, kinapa pa nya dahil baka bumagsak na lang ang groom.

11) the one assigned to assist the bride said na first time nya mag assist sa wedding

12) right after the event, di pa nakakaalis lahat ng guests pinapasettle na additional charges, the next day pa ang check out namin, di man lang kinonsider na sobrang pagod na ang mga kinasal

Overall, yung nagcoordinate during the wedding ang parang napagbuntunan ng init ng ulo, pero nakita naman namin na sya ang pinakapagod and she did her beat to still run the event smoothly. We sent her a private message to thank her, which she deserved dahil nafix nya mga nag arise na glitches during the wedding.

This is from my husband's review.

I don't understand a few things said in Tagalog but I have a few things I would like to say myself about the viewfortvenue and In Style Events. 

Before I being I want to say these companies do good work and have so much potential for so much more. The emcee really brought life to the reception and the photographers are great. Great job on the food too by the way.

That having been said...work on your communication skills. No one talked to each other. The caterer, venue, photographer, or wedding planner. The wedding planner should be heading all this up and should be the only one talking to the couple.
On the day of the event the wedding planner was very unorganized from what I could see. She could not line anyone up in the correct order, was not paying attention at certain points during the reception, and clearly did not have control. Did not give any updates or timeline on when to be ready for things just go now.

A huge point I want to make WHO PUTS A BENCH IN THE ISLE WHERE THE BRIDE HAS TO WALK??? Come on use your brain. If you feel a bench is necessary bring it in after the bride is at the front.

32 workers for a 100 guest event and the couple has to pay for their lunch and dinner??? If you got that many people than every guest should have been served food personally or something. I saw quite a few employees sitting down or talking to each other instead of working. It's not easy street...make it memorable.

Sound for the singer was not perfect. Did they do a sound check or practice before the wedding? It was the brides entrance...seriously. Also everything was way too loud.

The cake being 7k for one layer that is edible? I feel robbed and taken advantage of because I'm a foreigner.

Employees talking during the prayer.

Talking down the photo booth before all the guests were gone.

They had such a large space but all the guest and isle felt very cramped to me.

Lastly in my opinion none of the rooms were worth the price we paid. Not even close.

A couple of these things are my personal preference. But most should be corrected I hope these companies learn.

In the end the wedding still happened and I am married to the love of my life which is what I really wanted.

Yes wala kaming madaming pera, kaya cguro ganun ang nangyari. Wala kaming madaming pera na imodmod sa kanila. Kinuha namin ang package para mapamura ang gastusin pero napamahal tuloy. Yong 7k worth of cake talaga d ko kinaya because sabi three layers and okay go, but on the day of the wedding three layers nga at p*cha ung second layer lg makain, mas masarap pa ang red ribbon don. Mas malaki pa ang tag 400 pesos na cake sa red ribbon ang pwede makain sa cake namin na 7k, taga Instyle Events ang gumawa ng cake.

Coordinator: Instyle Events  https://www.facebook.com/instyleevents01/
Photo/Video: Joch Studio  https://www.facebook.com/JochStudio/
Hair & Make-Up: Carlo Lim  https://www.facebook.com/carlolimalgarne
Caterer: Good Food Huge Taste Right Choice
Florist: Bea Alonte

I actually no problem with the Photo/Video, Make up and the host. They are all brilliant!

PS: Baka sabihin nyo na walang kinalaman ang venue sa mga nangyari, pero package nila ang kinuha at sila ang nagbigay ng mga supplier so its their responsibility pa din.
