Edelweiss

Summer’s here…a perfect excuse for hitting the beach, to enjoy the waters and have fun under the sun. Guess what, I have a beach resort recommendation for those who’d like to elevate their Zambales experience to a higher level. It’s Alta Niña Beach Resort in Candelaria, Zambales. Let it serve as your gateway to Potipot Island, a Bora-like paradise of white-sand beaches and clear waters.

Have an awesome summer, people!

I’ve just gotten back from Cebu City last Monday. It was my fourth time there but the experience keeps getting better and better each time. I was fortunate to be with the company of friendly friends who showed me around the city and allowed me explore Cebu’s day and night life up close and personal. I don’t know with you, but I love Cebu and every good thing it offers to travelers.

You can read about my recent Cebu trip HERE.

For complete photos, you can check out my Multiply site.

On the sidelines:

The Life of a Breadwinner has several new and exciting posts.

I can say that I’m not lazy but I’m not "always" productive, either. But here I am again, making a post about a new site. Or maybe it’s better if I put it this way, an old site that was given a long overdue makeover. I’m talking about my Multiply site.

The recent events that I attended and preoccupied myself with have flooded me with photos which I thought shouldn’t be shared through my Friendster account alone. And so, I decided to re-create my Multiply site. First, I thought of a name for the site. It didn’t take long before I come up with "The Breadwinner’s Nook." Almost everyone in my circle of friends and associates know that I’m a breadwinner. I guess it suits me perfectly well and the site, too. And so, the site is now known as such.

Now, I’m writing about my site to share it with you. It’s not something that promises to make you happy or solve your problems, but I guarantee that any updates on me that you wanna know can be found there. Or at least the events I have participated in. Anyhow, just in case you guys miss me, The Breadwinner’s Nook (or my personal blog for that matter) is there to fill the gap. At least for the time being.

Ciao!

I know. I haven’t updated this blog for a while. It must be because I was busy or better yet, pretending to be busy. But then, this morning I woke up and thought of creating a new post. So, here it is. Well, honestly I only want to do some shameless plugging. Yes, you heard me right. I’d like YOU to visit my personal blog. It’s www.edelweiza.com.

See you guys there.

Also, if you want to view my old blog that is semi-active, just click here.

Hopefully, I could update this blog on a regular basis. Have a great day!

I love reading. It’s my way of expressing interest in something that catches my attention and inquisitive nature.Reading, for me, can transcend barriers, allowing my simple and unassuming self to get to places i have never been to, know things that i hadn’t been familiar with,and introduce me to events that I had never known transpired.

Most people don’t see reading as a nice hobby nor find time to read during their free time. I can’t blame them for doing so since each of us has our own perception of things around us. Apparently, people gravitate towards an entity not necessarily because of its value but most of the time, its attractiveness and the convenience of dealing with it. That’s one reason why baloons sell like hotcakes to children each bright, sunny morning at the park.

In today’s fast-changing world where information technology dominates the socio-economic landscape and the ordinary people’s way of life, reading has just been serving as an escape to tired minds, geek students who want to get a perfect score for their class projects and toddlers who are just beginning to grasp the very idea of letters, words and phrases.

There are some though, that can still be seen perusing through bookstores and school libraries, looking for books that can be bought or borrowed, or just whatever that catches their wild imaginations. While books are for people of all ages, there seems to be a wall providing the gap between books and people. It seems that most of us are too preoccupied with moving our lives to the right directions to look at the benefits of reading.

I am not saying that I am a bookworm nor a sucker for everything readable. I’m just fond of reading. For me, it serves as an outlet to let go of my ignorance and a silent, deep well to answer my constant thirst for knowledge.

What is fascinating about reading is that it revives memory of our past experiences, whether its agonizing or jubilant. It brings us to another world where we can be just ourselves, unaware of what’s going on around us. Whether it’s just a short story, a fiction-based novel or a history book, reading is a wonderful experience worth loving.
