Creating your own Avatar

It is fun and easy to create your own avatar. Though easy, hehehehe, I decided to let our graphic artist create it cause she can clearly see me and decide which features best fit. Hmmm, another option to create it is find a picture of yours and compare which facial features are yours. Or you can use a mirror to look at and choose. Hehehe....

But I would surely use it, and right now I'm creating one for my officemate beside me. Hahaha...

Check this website of Face your Manga.

And below is my new avatar, yahooo!!!

Ilocos Day 2 Part II

Half hour drive from Saud Beach is the Blue Lagoon Cove or what they call "Maira-ira" beach which has a clear and tranquil water.

Patapat Viaduct is an elevated concrete highway constructed along winding/rocky headlands near the northernmost roadway section in Ilocos Norte (could be considered second northernmost roadway section in Luzon) This viaduct was constructed to solve the problem of landslides in the area which have caused so many vehicular accidents in the past. Footed on the rocky seashore just several meters from the mountain side it gives motorists a spectacular view of Pasaleng Bay.

How to get there

The Patapat viaduct is about 16+ kilometers from Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. From Pagudpud, simply head northeast towards Cagayan. This will take you through winding mountain roads that have lush vegetation on both sides and occasional views of the sea until you reach the patapat viaduct.

Going to Cebu

I'm pretty excited for my trip this coming thursday. My tatay and sister would be attending a funeral of grandfather's brother. It saddening that I havent' met him personally but on the other hand I would be seeing my other relatives and my cousin's in cebu. And I'm looking forward that my tatay would be touring us in Cebu. It's very seldom that this happens. :-)

Quick facts about Cebu:
- known as the Queen City of the South
- has a total population of more than 3 million.
- native language is Cebuano
- great weather to visit from December to May; hottest months from march to may; rainy season starting from July

Ilocos Day 2

The next day, we woke up early to see another tourist attraction the Kaibigan Falls. It can found in the town of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. It was a calming environment relieving myself from my usual daily routine at work and the life in the city. Fresh air to breathe, peaceful, it was really refreshing. It was about a 30 minute walk to the falls. Along the way, we passed some farmlands, streams and as we move close to the falls it was getting colder. Finally the Kaibigan falls.

Kaibigan Falls

At the falls, we swim for a few minutes even though it's summer the water is too cold. After having a nice splash on the falls, we walk back for about 30 minutes to reach our tour bus. When we got back to our bus, we stall for a few minutes for a halo halo and a fresh buko juice.

Moving along, next is the Bantay Abot Cave located along the seacoast of Sitio Gaoa, Balaoi, Pagudpud. Bantay Abot Cave(Female) means “a mountain with a hole.” Few meter away from bantay abot is the Timmangtang Rock(Male). They are collectively termed as “Lover’s Rock”.
