Summer na naman! Sobrang init na ngayon, talagang tulo pawis mo kapag lumabas ka sa umaga, lalo na sa oras ng tanghali ang sakit sa balat ng init ng araw. Kaya naman ang karamihan ay nanabik mag-swimming o magbakasyon sa Baguio! Isa pa din na talagang masaya kapag summer ay dahil tapos na ang pasukan sa eskwela! pansamantala mong hindi makikita ang terror mong titser at hindi ka muna magiisip masyado kagaya ng ginagawa mo kapag nag-aaral ka! Pero para sa mga mag-aaral lang iyan…sa mga trabahador na kagaya ko, di mo na mafi-feel ang ganyang thrill kasi araw-araw may pasok (except weekends) ang pinakahihintay ko lang kadalasan ay ang mga araw ng holidays, kagaya na lamang ng darating na holy week, ilang araw ding bakasyon yun (kaso ako no work no pay) .

Naalala ko tuloy noong kabataan ko, madalas nagpupunta kami kung saan kapag summer, swimming dito,swimming doon,punta ng probinsya ng kung sino sino, minsan naman stay nalang sa bahay at manonood ng kung ano anong religious show sa TV sa mahal na araw and speaking of mahal na araw…dati sabi sa akin ng matatanda, bawal daw mag-ingay, bawal daw kumain ng karne kasi daw patay ang diyos, daming pamahiin…pero ngayon tingnan mo,ang nakasanayang ginagawa natin kapag mahal na araw ay wala na! kahit sa TV wala na masyadong religious shows, bihira na din ang kumakanta sa mga pabasa, iilan nalang ang nagsisimba…talagang ibang iba na ang generation na itey! Anyway, ako gusto kong magswimming this summer, relax relax lang under the scorching sun, puta magtagal ka ng todo sa ilalim ng araw at malamang magkaroon ka ng skin cancer! kaya ingat guys this summer, enjoy the rest of it with some precautions lalo na sa matataba na may high-blood at baka ma-heat stroke ka!

The Earth’s population is almost 6 billion, and at least 350 million fewer people may have escaped from below internationally recognised poverty lines as a result of rapid growth in several developing countries - particularly China and India - the bank says.

The result is a reduction since the late 1970s from 1 billion to 650 million in the number of people estimated by the bank to be living in poverty.

Now Imagine how rich is this guy! you know him im sure! He’s none other than… (drum rolling )

Bill Gates! He has created the world’s largest company, he is the world’s richest man and he has become the biggest charitable giver in history.

He may be a college drop-out and "computer geek" but rivals have often underestimated his abilities in the cut throat world of business.

Despite the wealth and ruthless domination of the global computer industry, Gates maintains it is the programming itself which is his abiding passion.

He stood down as chief executive of Microsoft in 2000, to focus on software development and the new challenges of the mobile internet age.

The one-time high school computer enthusiast - whose worth passed the $100bn mark in 1999 - said he wanted to immerse himself again in the work he loves most.

Now here are some facts about him that i got from my e-mail yesterday…

1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that’s about US$20
Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR! .
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ________
2. If he drops a thousand dollar, he won’t even bother to pick
it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned
it back.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _______
3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if
Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in
less than 10 years.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _
4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left
with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ___
5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US.
If he doesn’t drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e.
US$30 Million, he’ll have to wait for 277 years to become as
rich as Bill Gates is now.
____________ _________ _________ _________ ________
6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest
country on earth.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _______
7. If you change all of Bill Gate’s money to US$1 notes, you can
make a road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you
have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total
of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ______
8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live
for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to
finish all his money before he can go to heaven.
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _____
Last but not the least:
If Microsoft Windows’ users can claim US$1 for every time their
computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be
bankrupt in 3 years!

Imagine what he can do with all of his money??? he can have his own Disneyland, or maybe named a theme park after him…Im sure he has given a lot to charity already…Well, i guess that is his destiny.

Last weekend nagpunta ako ng Enchanted Kingdom…araw ng sabado alas 7 palang ng umaga ay gising na ako, excited kasi akong makapunta sa Enchanted Kingdom, High School palang ako naririnig ko na siya kaya naman talagang nahihiwagaan ako kung ano ba talaga yang Enchanted kingdom na yan! Kaya eto na sabi ko! eto na ang araw na mararanasan at makikita ko ang EK!

      Umaga ng nagpunta kami ng ayala, mga 930am dun sa may Landmark, dun kasi may mga van na papunta sa EK, akala ko nga bus eh kasi ang narinig ko shuttle..almost 2 hrs din kaming bumyahe kasama na ang madugong trapik bago namin narating ang EK! Pagdating dun hindi na makapag-antay at taeng tae na ang kamay kong magkodakan sa harap ng EK kasama yung matigas na istatwa ni Wizard (yung mascot nila)…then tuloy na kami sa loob.

  Una namin sinakyan ay yung Ferris Wheel,nakakalula syet! ang taas taas kasi tas umiikot pa yung sinasakyan niyo habang umiikot yung sinasakyan niyo…hmmm teka mali yata… ah basta nakakalula! tas pagkatapos nun, kodakan ulit kami ng kodakan! tas sumakay naman kami dun sa…nakalimutan ko na yung pangalan ng ride pero yun yung parang nakasakay ka sa troso, parang Wild River ng istar siti pero etong sa EK mas wild! at take not, talagang dapat may extra kang damit kapag sumakay ka dito at dahil talagang mababasa ka! di ko mabitawan yung hawakan dun sa log kasi pakiramdam ko kapag di ako humawak eh titilapon ako sa ere! pero after nun, nakasurvive naman po ang ating bida at syempre may kodakan din dun!

Tapos nun,kumain muna kami ng Burger at Fries at sopdrinks, di pwedeng super dami meal ang kainin mo kasi baka sumuka ka! Nakatingin ako sa mga nakasakay dun sa roller coaster, at talaga naman di nila maiwasang hindi humiyaw, at yun ang gusto kong sakyan! so dali dali kaming sumakay, nakaupo palang ako kinakabahan na ako eh, iniisip ko kasi kung paano nalang kung may mangyaring di kanais nais…oh syeeeettt!!!!! yan ang nasabi ko ng magsimula ng umandar ang walang hiyang roller coaster….zzzzzzzooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! umakyat muna ng patalikod…ng bigla bibitaw…..bbbbboooooooossssshhhhhh wwaaaaaaaahhhhh waaaaaaaahhhhhhh waaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! PUTANGINAAAAAA!!!!!!!! as in lulang lula ako at pakiramdam ko yung bayag ko ay mailuluwa ko na at mas matindi pa dun ay yung pabalik, kumbaga pa-atras naman ang andar! ayun pagkababa namin ay mahilo hilo ako, yung isang nakasakay nga namin lalaki ay nanakit ang likod.

   Next stop ATV! yan yung apat na gulong na parang motor, and yes sinubukan namin yun, di siya kasama sa all-you-can-ride tag so you have to pay 200 per head, 3 sets ng ikot sa rough road! ang sarap niya, unlike any other ride, siya ang kakaiba,kasi youre in control of the machine! so binibilisan ko minsan at minsan naman ayos lang ang takbo kasi malikabok! Ayos palang manehuhin yun, sana nga ganun nalang lahat ng sasakyan dito sa pinas eh, less pollution at trapik pa!

Tapos naman nun nanood muna kami ng sayawan sa tapa ng Rialto! at sumugod na kami sa RIO GRANDE!!! my god di ko akalain, sa log ride eh nabasa na kami, pero dito sa RIO GRANDE halos naligo ako! kahalating katawan ko basang basa, including my wallet and shoes! pati brip ko!!! pero ok siya kasi nakakalula din at yung mga kasama naming mga batang babae ay talagang hiyaw to the maxxx!…OK sige na aaminin ko humiyaw din ako!

Rialto naman ang tinahak namin after the Rio Grande…OK naman, parang yung sa simulator dun sa istar siti dati, medyo makakatotohanan, yung pelikula nila ay yung about sa alien alien…gininaw ako sa loob kasi super lakas ng A/C nila at basang basa pa ako ng pumasok kami…

madami pa kaming sinakyan…nag-bump car kami, sumakay ako sa isang maliit na roller coaster, sa hot air balloon na paikot ikot, tas kumain kami ng hotdog tsaka Rice in the box, may popcorn din kami at sopdrinks at syempre walang humpay na kodakan kung saan saan!

Nakakapagod din pero talagang masasabi kong masaya ang EK experience ko… a treasure that nobody can take it away from you…a treasure that you have shared with someone very very special in to your life… at talaga naman gusto kong bumalik!

Thanks to Mel for the tickets! sana meron pa sa susunod! and of course the one and only, i couldnt experienced it without you Andy! THANK YOU SO MUCH! AND I LOVE YOU!!!! MUAAAAHHHH!!!!
