Due to my crazy schedule, this Weekend Snapshots post is a week late. Here are some pictures from our Bohol and Cebu trip last weekend. Enjoy! :)

Sikatuna-Legazpi Blood Compact Monument.

 

Baclayon Church. According to our tour guide, right across this church is where Cesar Montano proposed to Sunshine Cruz. Is it true? If so, I don’t think it matters that much anymore, they’re now separated anyway. :D

 

Seeing this Tarsier, an endangered species found only in the Philippines, is the highlight of my trip! This and the Chocolate Hills (and the dolphins!) below. lol.

I mentioned in a twit before that I’m a lousy Facebook user, and it’s true. I only signed up last year because almost all of my online friends are on it and I thought it would be cool to have another way to connect with them. And it’s not only with Facebook, my Friendster, Multiply, Flickr, Moomai (including LinkedIn!), are rarely updated. And I think it’s safe to say that my WeeWorld account has been in a coma since last year. But at least my Twitter is alive and kickin’!

While we’re on the subject of social networking sites, why don’t you add me as a friend? (Yun naman eh, may kasamang pag-promote! Haha)

Anyway, going back to Facebook. Every time I sign in I usually just stare at the screen and think of how else I can update that page. “I should be updating because everyone else is!!” I know there’s a gazillion things to do there but I guess I’m just not that interested. Or it’s because I know that Facebook is so time-consuming that I refuse to get addicted to all these apps. As of this moment, I actually have 379 unprocessed requests in my dashboard! So if there’s an app that you really really want to share with me (that you think I’m gonna enjoy) send me a message instead! Else, the invite will just be ignored. Hehe.

Now if you go to my Facebook profile page, you’ll see how boring it is. Lol.

I know that the most-hated people in the Philippines right now are our corrupt government officials, but to an ordinary citizen like me, nothing pushes my buttons harder than the annoying cab drivers here in Metro Manila! Here are the reasons why I HATE hailing a cab:

• The cab drivers raise the fare just after I’ve stepped inside: “Dagdagan nyo na lang ng trenta ang metro ha.” Whatda?!
• They refuse to let me in because my destination wasn’t their preferred destination. Waitaminute, who’s the passenger and who’s the driver again?
• Upon hearing the place where I wanted to be driven to, they change their minds and tell me they have to take their lunch first. Then why did you stop when I hailed for a ride in the first place?!
• They only want to take passengers whose destinations are not beyond Makati City. Dapat nag jeepney drayber na lang kayo!
• When they suspect that traffic is heavy ahead, they ask me to get off so they won’t get stuck in traffic. And it doesn’t matter to them if I’d get wet from standing in the rain. Their comfort comes first. Ayos!
• They pretend they don’t notice me waiting for the change for the P100 bill I gave.
• When I remind them about it, they insist they don’t have any change.
• When I show them how pissed I am at them, they snap right back at me and call me names! Whatever happened to the saying, “The customer is always right”?
• When I tell them I’m going to report them to the LTFRB or LTO, they just laugh at my face and tell me to go ahead, that doesn’t scare them.
• Lastly, they ruined my anniversary night with Deej. :(
