Rest and relaxation at Cordova

Oh! It's been eons since I've posted something on this "private" blog. I kind of miss blogging and all it's what nots. I haven't really been to new places for this year :( Yeah, its either I'm that busy or i've just been boring this year. I'll just sum  it all up in one post next time :) Anyways, me and my friends just went to this new resort in Cordova namely, Best western sandbar resort. Pretty long name ayt? I kept forgetting the name when someone asked. LOL. 

Anyways, me and my friends commuted while going there so from osmena circle cebu we rode a taxi to pier 3. Upon arriving at pier 3 you have to pay 14 pesos (regular fare) to the ticketing booth and another payment for the terminal fee. Then, good old ferry boat takes you to Lapu Lapu city where you have to walk up to the birhen sa regla church, just a few meters from the pier. Then before you reach the church, you would see some jeepneys stopping over, ride the jeepney going to cordova. Stop at cordova crossing, then ride a tricycle to the resort. Ta daaaah! Arrival at destination :) But if you dont really want the adventure, you can just ride a v-hire from sm to cordova :)

Here are the breakdowns:

taxi ride to pier 3 - 80 php

Ferry boat ticket - 14 php

Terminal fee - 1 php

Jeepney to Cordova -10 php

tricycle fare - 10 php

V-hire to Cordova -35

Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed  was the serenity, we felt like we were the only ones in the area. The place was not really fully functional yet. It's like a soft opening of the place. So before anything else we had to pay our entrance  fees ( 250 php) for day use from 8 am to 5pm. It took quite a while for the receptionist to welcome us. Good thing there was free wifi to feed our boredom.

After the 15 minute wait, we headed straight to the pool. On first impression, the place was kind of small for my taste. I really love big and deep pools. This one's kind of small, and only about 4 feet deep. Great for families with small children. 

It looks big in pictures though :) 

The slides were not that high, about 2 stories high I guess. Safe for children, I'd probably bring my little sister here next time. She'll love the pool

View from the top of the slide, the place looks really photogenic :) probably the whole resort itself. 

The spot where me and my friends slept. Other than the pool there was nothing much to do. Oh, there was a beach volleyball area but we didnt bother to ask if there was a ball or not. So, we just slept ar around 1 in the afternoon. And yes, it was very bright, one cannot survive without sunglasses hahaha

Well that's it for today. I'm tired and burnt 

Till next post :)

 Ps: no pictures of our lunch because somehow it was disappointing and I was too hungry to take pictures tsk tsk :)

I'm graduating!!!!

School has been hectic, even during the weekends. We all have to prepare for our board exams and recall all our "stucked" or rather stock knowledge. The review sessions are a big help, but I would really want at least A day-off from a tiring week. Well, Voila! I get my anticipated day-off today for some reason I'd rather not talk about. JK. I overslept :p

I have only one goal on hand for next year—-to wear a toga, receive a diploma, and shake hands with the school president. I had second thoughts posting this one because I don’t want to make a bummer future post saying, “oh, I’m not graduating.” Nursing isn’t easy-peasy I tell you. But, with the high enthusiasm I have for nursing, I sure have high hopes in graduating. Hopefully, no other unfortunate things would happen. I am going to complete my forms and pass all the requirements. I promise. :)

But wth! I want to graduate ASAP and pursue what I really want to be.<3

I didn't get my final picture yet. So I just settled for this :)

Hopefully, my smile didn't look that fake in the picture

Hunger Games trailer

Do you remember my post about one of the best YA fiction books I have read?

The Hunger Games! 

Well, Just earlier today, they have released the trailer and I'm just so happy right now that even though school is keeping me so busy, I watched it like 20 times. I was teary eyed while watching the movie cause it seriously met my expectations. Though, i noticed that some parts have changed, it melted my heart to see my imaginary characters come to life. And seriously, this was what i imagined while reading the book.  Lionsgate productions did a very awesome job on this one. Unlike twilight's fail, I sincerely hope that this movie would be a big HIT!

Personality test

Below are my results from the Personality test I took online. I decided to post this because it's kind of accurate to my own perceptions of myself, especially the last part.. :)  Try it HERE

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun, people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.  

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.  

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?  ---- HAHAHAHA I SERIOUSLY DON'T BEHAVE SEDUCTIVELY....?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. 

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.  

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

 What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.  

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

Sembreak blues :l

So many stuffs in my "to do list"

It just seems like a long weekend holiday if you ask me. But it was a breath of relief. The last 3 weeks were so surreal like it never happened. But it did, and all I got to do was to go back in school and waste my time. hmmm. Clearance signing sucks. The only thing that made it fun, was the series of reviews.

I am still contemplating on whether or not I should start catching up with answering my review questions. I'm like 200 plus questions behind and I don't have the slightest interest on answering it. Not even sure if what I'm going through is really that stressful. Just thinking about reading my nursing books and review books makes me want to take my guts out. It sure feels like the whole world is on my shoulders and my head is about to explode from the pressure. And I'm still NOT doing anything about it. I mean I promised myself to STUDY HARDER but I always tend to do the opposite. pshhhh. I dont want to rant haha It's just that I'm pretty frustrated with how I manage my time.

Maybe a short break will make me feel better. Just some time out, to give myself a little breather. Maybe an extension of the break? hahaa

I would love some quiet time to just think, maybe start blogging again or even pick up the marker and start reviewing my nursing notes from way back Haha...

Too many maybes, too many ifs... It's do or don't. Sometimes, things so simple can make me go crazy.
