Housekeeping is not just about cleanliness.

Hence, when you work and live in a fresh and clean surrounding, there will always be the feeling that God is just close by, inside your heart, your mind, all over your abode.





Just imagine how great your life would be even if you’re not rich i.e., when your home is in proper order – aah the peace and harmony you’ve been longing for. Further, when your workplace and home are clean, illness is at bay.  Truth be told, being clean is being healthy. That being said, every household member or office worker becomes a happy soul.

Bohol And Its Beguiling Attractions


September of 2019 when I set foot upon beautiful Bohol for the first time along with my son, James. Long have I wished to see the renowned Visayan destination since it happened to be in my bucket list. Words alone are not enough to describe the charm and allure of Bohol, so I will just be sharing with you some mesmerising photos of my escapade.

The Spellbinding Churches






The belfry of Panglao parish church

The Captivating Animals And Shell Collections

The pythons

The tarsier

These shells are said to be found at the seabeds of Bohol



The Loboc River Cruise
River cruise starts here at the floating restaurants

One of the pleasing sights cruisers enjoy. The dancers sing at the same time to the delight of guests on board the cruiser. Tourists may also opt to join the locals if they wish to.

James and me; at our back is another river boat ahead of us

Just a sample of the food at the cruise's buffet lunch. Other choices are pancit, chopsuey, more veggies, beef, chicken and pork dishes along with fruits and juices.

Blood compact monument

Hinagdanan Cave- an underground natural pool with icy cold waters


They say this is a man-made forest. In truth, people planted these trees long ago to preserve nature.



The most iconic feature of Bohol - the Chocolate Hills










Complimentary organic food at the bee farm...so yummy


An exciting attraction on the way to Chocolate Hills


A stretch of hanging bridge where I dared not go




ALONA BEACH, PANGLAO



Tagbilaran and Panglao have shopping centers where tourists can buy sovenir items at reasonable prices aside from malls, restaurants and wet markets. Both also have their respective airports. Oh by the way, from Cebu we took a fast craft for Tagbilaran and same in getting back. Two hours of sea crossing is all it takes to get to this enthralling Visayan destination.




Cebu Ocean Park: Surprisingly An Exhilarating Experience


I have been to Hong Kong some years back (2017) and of course no tourist would ever want to miss a visit to HK Ocean Park. This time, I had the chance to go see one of Cebu City's newest pride - its own Ocean Park. Though it's a little bit not as luxurious as the one in HK yet, the experience in September 2019 was surprisingly equally exhilarating.

Below are glimpses of such an unforgettable experience. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will just have to post more and say less, okay?
My son James and daughter Ezra at the entrance


Hello there.. let's take a look inside

One of the many initial attractions once you get inside

Hello red birdie...forgot to note your name
Slimy snakes


Hi there Smiley!!!

Here are some of the wonderful videos I took

Feeding time for the stings


Can't figure out what these creatures are but they're shockingly cute






Since it was on a weekday when we got there, the rate was Php 600 per guest with 20% discount for senior citizens. Of course, kids had a much more lower rates but charges are higher during weekends. Oh, by the way, the Cebu Ocean Park is just behind SM Seaside Mall so you see, it's just very accessible anywhere you're located in downtown Cebu.


Bodybuilding Or Not?


Sports experts and advocates claim that bodybuilding produces a sound mind and body. Might you know if you’re fit to engage in it? Some sectors say that anyone can join while others say it isn’t meant for all. Before you even ask if you’re qualified for this, here are some things you need to know.

What Is Bodybuilding?


Clearly, it’s a sport involving backbreaking physical exercises to strengthen the muscles of the body and make them bigger. Strictly speaking, progressive resistance exercises are used in this discipline. Bodybuilders may use anabolic steroids to make their bodies fit and well-balanced in all aspects.

Some of the most popular celebrities with magnificent bodies are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Dolph Lundgreen, among others. They are the epitome of success in the sphere of bodybuilding.

Weight training, aerobic exercise, are just of the activities in such sport. Interestingly, both men and women these days are now getting addicted to it, thanks to the international competitions that duly recognize individuals who excel and succeed in this field.

Further, people are today getting health-conscious, practicing healthy living, which corroborate the findings of one study that women and men of this generation live longer lives.


Who Are The Bodybuilders?

In a wider sense, anybody can become a bodybuilder. Yet, it all depends on your definition of success. Now, if you're seeing a six-pack abs or larger and stronger arm muscles and leg muscles, then perhaps, that's success for you!

There are the ones whose purpose is to grow ‘much bigger’ than they once used to be, with body fats lessened or totally gone. Hence, whatever your objective, there should be no reason to fail as long as you have the interest and will-power.

Remember, this entails so much hard work and discipline. So, to ‘get there’, you need to reflect and ask yourself, “Is bodybuilding for me?” If you’re determined to make yourself physically and mentally fit, do your due diligence. To experience the health benefits of strenuous exercise, research more.

Health Benefits From Bodybuilding

Its a fact that the vigorous exercises in bodybuilding lower the risk of plaque build-up inside the arteries popularly known as coronary heart disease. The arteries bring oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles, so when exercising, these parts are stimulated. There can be no build-up of the waxy substance called plaque if you exercise regularly.

Lastly, doing the strenuous workouts will make the body stronger and more flexible; will keep osteoporosis and arthritis at bay, too. 

Now that you know the basics, here’s hoping that you’ve finally decided about bodybuilding.
