Coke Gwapo!

Waiting for my flight boarding to Tacloban now. I just bought a can of Coke before entering this smoking room near gate 119 of NAIA T3. I noticed the girl who gave me this can had something like a "shy smile" on her face. I thought she had mistaken me for someone else and sheepishly smiling as she is not sure. That happens often. So I smiled back, even bowed to say thanks and hurriedly entered the glass door and lit up my cig.

When I opened the can... I noticed this big new label...
Oh ahh... now I realized! This probably was the reason she was smiling (a bit) at me! I looked back at her thru the glass wall. She was giggling with the cashier. I smiled back again, raising the can to show her that big printed word! They were teasing each other!

Ayan, they're still giggling as I'm drinking this. Hah, me asim pa ako! Yes hahaha!

But that is not the reason I immediately posted this pic on this blog ha?! I don't need any reassurance, gwapo lang talaga ako eh! Matagal na, hehe heheeee!

The reason am posting this here and now is I might actually forget later as I have so many 'longer' stories in my head. So there it is! Ganda pa ng kuha ko ah! Thanks to the morning light.

The other reason am posting this pic now is: I know this will be gone soon since this is just their seasonal gimmick. Just like having their cans printed with Christmas whatevers during the holidays or soccer balls during world cup, right? So, let's immortalize this "gwapo" can of a Coke, especially that I did not choose it hehehe!

I like the idea of Coke's printing such random words on their cans. It perks up the day of at least some people (na mababaw ang kaligayahan) like me and those tindera girls! At least happy for the day, di ba?!

Okay, boarding na, let's go!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

Image
I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
