Uyanguren: Divisoria of Davao City

If you are itching to shop and you want your shopping to be as affordable as the items sold in Divisoria, then Uyanguren is the place for you. There is a very small difference in the price of items sold in Uyanguren. Divisoria is cheaper than China town of Davao, Uyanguren. But the price is like 10-20 pesos in difference, overall it is affordable. Compared from ordering on online shops in facebook, it is much cheaper to buy in Uyanguren. There are so many reasons why it is better to shop in Uyanguren than, buying on online shops that sells items from Divisoria. More likely it is with the same quality and the same price. When you order online you do not only pay for the item but also with the shipping fee. So if you feel like shopping online, you make sure that all the items in that shop could not be found at Uyanguren or else you will regret it. Trust me! I know, I almost cried when I knew it was only 40 pesos and I bought it online for 75 pesos plus the shipping fee of 100 pesos. Tell me how frustrating it was?

Well here are some pointers before you buy in Uyanguren to make sure you will purchase a very good quality at very affordable price:

1. You should not deal with the tindera or the sales lady, because sometimes they do not control of what lowest price they should give you.
2. as for no.1, you should deal with the intsik or the chinese who is the owner of the store. If you are a suki, you can haggle as much as you can.
3. If you are not entertained immediately don't get mad. Instead, give them a smile and then haggle. They will be shy if they made you wait for an hour long and you don't get any discount.
4. If you are buying for wholesale, rest assured you have a discount.
5. If the number of items to be purchased is 6 for it to be considered as wholesale, and you are only purchasing 4 you can still haggle for discount to the intsik not to the tindera.
6. If you are a suki, don't get to much confident if the intsik is giving you a big discount. Sometimes, what you think as the discount is not what you see it is. Sometimes it is on sale and the intsik will give you the said "discount price" since you do not know it is on sale.
7. If the intsik is unapproachable specially this big fat insecure lady intsik, well do not deal with her. deal with her husband who is more approachable.(if you know what I mean).
8. If you will buy this one item that you think the big fat insecure lady intsik only sells it, well you better not hurry. You can always find good stuff around.
9. Try not to act like you are "mayaman", because intsiks will not make you haggle with the item.
10. Always have a list with you, if you don't like list the try memorizing the items you should buy. Because if you don't, you will end up buying anything you can buy and not realizing that you are buying the unnecessary items.

So that is all, I hope you can relate with that or if not. Feel Free to ask me questions..

Julie and Julia: My inspiration

This movie is really an epic movie, as much as writing enthusiast like me felt when I saw this movie. It somehow moved me from what I want to do, to something I want to be. A very typical movie, that could happen to someone. Really, it is amazing that someone and some place in time could really inspire you. Really wishing you could have their life. As much as I love to write, even writing don't love me as much. I also love to cook. The cooking of Julie and Julia is incredible. Imagine of how Julie and Julia want people to understand and learn how to cook the easy way, takes a lot of focus for them to do it. Cooking and same with writing is a passion; passion that needs dedication. This movie is worth it to watch. All the trials and the lessons learned, helped me to become a better person.

12.12.12 is the last repetitive date you will see

What nonsense is everyone blubbering about? that December 12, 2012 is the last repetitive date you will ever see. Of course it is! It is because there is only 12 months in a year and it will not extend just because you want to see some repetitive dates. So why is everybody on facebook is giving a sh** about this date? Because we are all freaks, we do not want the world to end. Well there is only one thing I can say about that repetitive date thing going on. "The world ends when it ends."

December 21, 2012 End of the World Prediction

This is a very unusual post of mine. Please don't get scared or anything, I am just stating exactly what is on my mind right now. This morning I have felt a slight earthquake. When I was drinking my coffee and preparing for my everyday routine, something came into my mind. I was wondering if December 21, 2012 is the date of the end of the world; then, a question pop out "what will I do?". I was fascinated by this idea that the end of the world has a schedule and a date. I am wondering what GOD is trying to say to us by this. It is like saying "hey, you'll die tomorrow so kill someone and say your prayers this evening and ask the Lord God for forgiveness. So you can go to heaven when you die". I am not fond of reading bible, but I remember this verse clearly that has the thought of the end of the world will come when nobody knows it, something like that. It runs through my mind every now and then. I do not know if just misunderstand the phrase. What I understand from the phrase is that, when you die you will not know it. Only God knows when will you die. When he is going to end the life of his children, we better get ready for that time. I am not certain if it is on December 21 2012 or any date God would want it to be. All we can do is to be ready spiritually. But this 3 days of darkness thingy also caught my attention. When I was 9 yrs old or younger I was taught by my grandfather something about the "Secret of Fatima". He always utters those words to me every now and then and tells us what will happen and what can we do about it. My grandfather is a very spiritual man he always reads the bible and knows how to defend his faith. Back to this 3 days of darkness thing that is blubbering all over the internet for a while, is giving me this headache. This could be the nightmare I am dreaming about when I was on my third grade in grade school. My Grandpa would always say, only the blessed candle will lit on these days of darkness. I remember we use to have this very big candle that was blessed and my grandfather used it for almost 3 years when he is reciting the rosary, by that you can tell how big it was. We were supposed to use it as he said it was coming. I probably sound crazy to you by now, cause my grandpa sound crazy to me by then. But we do not know how it will happen and when it will happen. We better get ready emotionally, physically and mostly spiritually.

Mindanao Cosplay Summit 2012

MCS 2012 is a heck of an experience. Local cosplayers gather around SM City Davao Annex to witness the Mindanao Cosplay Summit Main Event. Not only that, the Cosplay Goddess Alodia Gosengfiao is there to meet and greet some lucky cosplayers and fans. Aside from Miss Alodia who caught my attention, there was this group who are very lively portraying their characters as the akatsuki from naruto. I heard from one of my reliable source they call themselves the red cloud akatsuki, a very cool name for very awesome guys. As what I have observed during the event, these guys got some teamwork; not only that, they also got nice attitude towards others. I really commend this team for their awesome efforts of bringing the AKATSUKI back to life.
BTW my personal favorite is kisame and zetsu,, awesome :XDD
