-At Mall of Asia

Red, blue and green ones please?

News!

staff:

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve – certainly isn’t changing.

So what’s new? Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. The work ahead of us remains the same – and we still have a long way to go! – but with more resources to draw from.

Yahoo is the original Internet company, and Marissa and her team share our dream to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas. I couldn’t be more excited to have her help. We also share a vision for Tumblr’s business that doesn’t compromise the community and product we love. Plus both our logos end with punctuation!

As always, everything that Tumblr is, we owe to this unbelievable community. We won’t let you down.

Fuck yeah,
David

Yesterday, Lj and I arrived here in Ilocos from the shortest vacation ever in Metro Manila. I enjoyed very much. I just wish to get there as soon as possible. Haha.

05.17.13 (FRI)-

1. Villamor Airbase, Pasay City. Tita Aileen’s place. Our first destination. Since we arrived at 5 o’clock in the morning, we had to rest first (I was deprived of ample sleep during the travel). This is where we dropped off our bags and extra stuff. We slept here for a night.
2. Mall of Asia. AT 10 o’clock, we went to MOA. My first time to see the inside. I saw a part when I was in elementary (6-7 years ago?). I was with Lj and Aima. The funny thing is, we enter a boutique, we check for cool items, we check the price tag, and finally we leave. Happens everytime! Haha. We rendezvoused with Tita Aileen at the Hypermarket.
3. Star City. Refer to this post: 50877186315

05.18.13 (SAT)-

1. Baclaran. We woke up late (who the heck walks a thousand miles yet wakes up early?). We went there at 11 o’clock (or was it 10 or 12? not sure). Items are cheap. And so I took it as an advantage by buying shirts and semi-formal attires. The three girls did the same thing. Again, we walked a thousand miles (not literally!). There are a lot of stores! We ended going to the church for a visit.
2. MOA. Tita Jeng saw a picture of us  (which I uploaded in facebook) in Star City. She told me us meet-up in MOA so that we can sleep over in their new house. We went back to Villamor and prepared some stuff. Lj and I rode in the bus to get there. They just finished paying for their groceries when we met them. 
3. Fairview, Quezon City. It was a long trip from MOA to their house. They just moved to a new place and it’s my first time to get there. The houses in the village are really big and so with their’s. I think we had bonded with my cousins. They were just shy by the first time. Haha.

05.19.13 (SUN)-

1. TriNoMa. After enjoying the swimming pool with cousins, we were supposed to hear the mass. But since we moved late, we just went to Trinoma. Good thing the mall arranged a mass where we attended. Thanks to Tita for buying me a new school shoes and some stuff. I’ll be forever thankful.
2. Partas Terminal, Pasay. We went back to Fariview to pack our things and to have dinner. They dropped us off (together with Mac and Lj) at the terminal. We also met there Tita Aileen and Aima who carried our things from their house. Exactly 10 o’clock when the bus’ engine roared to life. And then I fall asleep.

This is what you call experience. Summer will be over soon. I need to enjoy the remaining days. 

05.17.13

Today is one of the highlights of my summer. On this day, there are many first times for me. After going to Mall of Asia, we went to Star City. Both are erected at Pasay City. And both are my first time visits. I’m not a connoisseur of entertainment rides, but being a first timer made it a unique experience. With no knowledge of what will happen in the next seconds during a ride, I didn’t expect their corresponding twists and turns.

They did achieve the purpose of the place- to give a fun-filled experience and sharp feeling of excitement. My heart did skip a beat. The rides ended our hands shaking. Our knees went trembling. We kept on shouting whilst the machines were doing their thing.

We almost experienced all the rides. Almost. But we decided not to ride the two most fearing (and the most dangerous for a first timer like me) rides in Star City. The most thrilling rides are Surf Dance, Wild River and Blizzard. I got no idea about what will happen. And then I just realized that the ride is making your whole body shake. You had no choice but to shout out what your feeling. I had mini heart attacks. But at least I faced my fears.

The most fascinating ride is the Ferris Wheel. Again, this is another first time, riding the ferris wheel. Plus you get the chance to see the whole view of the busy streets and establishments as a bonus.

Indeed, one of the highlights of my summer.

There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy’s father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.

On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!

Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.

It wasn’t long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn’t lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn’t wait to tell his father.

Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.

Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

“You have done very well, my son,” he smiled, “but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.”

The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.

“When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, the wounds will still be there.”
