Candaba Viaduct

The Candaba Viaduct (also known as Pulilan–Apalit Bridge) is a 5 km (3 mi). bridge passing over the Candaba Swamp and adjacent Pampanga River in the North Luzon Expressway. It is one of the longest bridges in the Philippines consists of 4 lanes (2 northbound and 2 southbound). Overlooking Mount Arayat, viaduct is raised over Candaba Swamp which keeps the highway open to traffic, even when the swamp gets flooded during the rainy season.

This bridge is the reference in a joke,

"Mula sa kabila,itlog.Pagtawid naging 'ibon' na sa haba ng tulay"

("From the other end,was still an egg.When they reached the other end,it became a 'bird' due to the bridge's length")

Learned this from early morning conversation with my filipino colleagues LOL

I myself also took some sort of sabbatical for 8 months (England, France, Netherlands, Cambodia and mostly in New Zealand), thanks to some people I have free accommodation but I still have to pay her back though (a 5 figure amount)

GoPrOscar 1 has return!

OMG! My dear friend Oscar lost it during our trip to Whatipu Beach (Waitakere Ranges) and now it has been found! Let's give it to the Aucklanders and New Zealanders who are such honest people! Salute! #faithinhumanityrestored I'm so happy for this news/founding because Oscar was really really sad when we found out that we lost the GoPro. But being an awesome, positive person that he is, he quickly get over it and continue our awesome trip in New Zealand. Congratulations, Oscar! I think I'm much more happier than him, as we both travel to and fro Whatipu Beach and Auckland 2 times just to try to look for it, but to no avail, and now it has resurface again! It's a miracle! It's the power of our Survivor Team's good vibe, sublime #goodthingshappentogoodpeople

And yet we have another survivor in our family, the GoPrOscar 1! Let this be a beacon of hope for us, let this be our awesome teams landmark, let this be our trademark for all our awesome endeavours, #TeamSurvivorsForever.

We'd really like to return the Hero 3+ Go Pro Camera (with a selfie stick) to the people who own it...most probably the...

On my third week...

So today starts the third week of my third company in my whole life. Everything has been great so far : I've been working like a boss and my pay is substantial for me to live for the moment, job ain't that stressful, not much sunlight, non-bitchy/sob colleagues, short and cheaper travelling to and fro work, and most importantly, a reputable and high-prestige company.. so its been good for me and mi gracias por Dios por estes.

I recently bought one of the things on my wishlist made three months earlier - the UE BOOM for a cheap price of S$199 (someone bought it for NZ$259 earlier) so it was good deal hahaha. Now my next target would be getting my finances on the right track, in order and eventually have my own savings (gotta fingers-crossed that I would continue to stay in this company and have a stable income) which I hope, would be ok within a few months time. Also, I would like to have my own GoPro soon (but not that important yet)

Some post in a while...

Zomg! Haven't been posting here for quite some time now. Sorry le blog. Lolz.Well, all is not forgotten! 3 months since my last post. Many things have recently since my last presence here (excluding busy with work and time just flies by thingy) ; went back for cny, group trip to Batam, Desaru, February and March just pass by like that, took total for less than a day annual leaves for the past few months?, bought first property @ Pandan City area, Johor, bought a new laptop (a gaming one, that is!) enrich my knowledge regarding equities, properties, gaming, current affair etc., bought my first stocks!, buddies going on work travel trip @ NZ (Enghui & Jingnin), another buddies getting married (BC & TD), quitted STA, oh and Jennifer Lawrence won Oscar Best Actress, also Iron Man 3 is showing soon!, GI JOE 2 was a disappointment -,- but not as disappointed as Ghost Rider 2. 

That basically sums up what happened in these past few months of my life here. Oh well, hope to write more soon I hope. Wish things are smooth sailing this year.
