My 37th birthday!

"Another year over... a new one just began" as the song goes by.

It's my 37th birthday... im glad & happy God had given me this great opportunity to live this much. I pray Thee & wish Him to continue giving me the priviledge to live more, dream more, aspire more, perform more, act more, work more, provide more, share more, love more and many more.

In my 37th years of existence, i realized more the value of life, value of leading a family, value of creating a small community, value of work, value of real & reel friends, value of things i possesses both material & non-monetary possesions. These makes me become more mature individual, learning thru variety of experiences & all behind these things and most of all discerning all wisdoms behind thoughts & serendipity.

While it's quite embarrassing to mention that it took me 37years to make all these realization in my life, it also stop me from wandering & playing the kid in me from time being... i am thankful for having these lessons thought me became who i am now. I thank Thee for guiding me thru my day to day obstacle in life & for having such a very supportive family including my extended ones up until to my last consanguinity.

As the new year has just started (coinciding with my birth month), I have promised 5 achievable things to myself to overcome w/c I have already put in my mind & my heart - 5 things that will define my next 37 & more years to come.

And so as I continue to do my dreams, my responsibilities & my obligations, let me thank our dear Almigthy Father for such a priviledge of happily living all these years... for my wife, my immediate family and extended ones, friends and colleagues, i love you all.

Happy 37th birthday to me & to our dear Black Nazarene; continue to join & help me fulfill all these aspirations!

January 01, 2014....

Photo take New Year's Eve
Happy New Year!!! 
"I'm super happy"... three (3) sweet words other than Happy New Year we utter every 1st day of the year; but the earlier words came from my dearest daugther while we are in the middle of our day tour at the Dinosaur Island, Clarkfield Pampanga. 

      

Tyrannosaurus (t-rex), apatosaurus, rhinoceros... these extinct giant monsters are just a few from this exhibit/island which are so amazing inspired by a real growling sound effects & robotics manuevers that makes kids seem to believed if these are real or reel.

Alongside these dinosaurs are the replicas of bones & skulls made from fiberglass & resins combined displaying the evolution of these dinos from Jurassic to Cretaceous Period... an exhibit of its anatomy.

After a thorough walk thru, a dancing dinos welcomes us at their mini grandstand where a dino-mascot dances with guests as an ending part of a quick tour... but this doesn't really end your wonder dino trip here as there's a coaster ride called Jussaric Safari Trail ride on a make shift cart traversing you to a mini tunnel where different dinos in between sections chase & scare you to its fullest (kids screams like its a real dinos chasing its prey). 


Beside this amazing park is a Clarkfield Picnic Groove where u can enjoy cool ambiance & air breeze from lush & greeny environ acting as a natural sunshade... a very natural relaxer free from carbon emissions & similar pollutants.

Moving south-westward is another park called.. The Airforce City, where you can see decommissioned vintage aircraft jet fighters, air combat planes... surely we'll get back here for a family picnic at this wide theme park surrounded by a classic rides for kids...

After a couple of hours moving around these wonderful place/s, my tummy's pushing me to look around and look for best food... Kapampangan's taste....

There we found "Ihaw Juan" a local fast food  resto at SM Clarkfield foodcourt... you'll find it unusal as this is not a typical SM foodcourt we normally see amongst these mall chain. Ambiance are totally different, food are so tasty & so affordable... rate would be 7/10 for its taste and price (that includes grilled seafoods, griled chicks & porkchops, plain rice w/ mixed veggies plus a soda drinks).


Finally, i suggested to get back Manila as its getting darker... and after one & a half hour cruising NLEX, we safely arrived to our sweet domicile.

Happy New Year Everyone!!! Cheers!!!
