<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my first post this year, I would like to look back on the year that was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7316/12138919305_8e672e1f9c_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7316/12138919305_8e672e1f9c_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The latter part of 2013 was emotionally stressful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"> It all started when a colleague died. She was robbed, and shot multiple times a few kilometers </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">away from her home. What's worse was, her mother was waiting for her to celebrate her birthday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3784/12139133855_51496c8ded_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3784/12139133855_51496c8ded_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then calamity after calamity, hit our country. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was the pork barrel issue which involved big names in politics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was the Zamboanga siege, where hundreds of innocent people were used as human shields. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake which struck the provinces of Bohol. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And lastly, the most devastating of all, there was Typhoon Yolanda, who killed more than 6,000 Filipino people.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Philippines was in total darkness that time, but somewhere, light managed to shine its way through.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Giving hope was the undeniable aid and support coming from all parts of the world. There were also the international wins of Megan Young in Miss World, and Manny Pacquiao in boxing.</div>

Just when the things were lightening up a bit, I faced the <i>worst nightmare </i>of my life.<br />
At the age of 22, I experienced injustice in our own country. I lost a battle which I fought for a long time.<br />
I felt small and helpless. It was a mental and emotional torture.<br />
I was on the verge of losing my mind.<br />
<br />
<br />
That moment proved me, that power and money rule this world. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With the help of family and friends, I moved on with hope. Hope that one day, our Supreme Ruler, will judge us on the <i>truth</i>. And I know, that <b>no amount of power or money can change His judegement.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The much awaited part of the <a href="http://thinkerbellethoughts.blogspot.in/2013/09/local-destination-baler.html" target="_blank">trip</a>...<b>surfing</b>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3785/10702494396_3d560dcfcd_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3785/10702494396_3d560dcfcd_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While surfing seems to be fun, it is still considered an <b>extreme sport</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beginners are highly encouraged to to train and surf with a coach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember, it pays to be extra careful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2814/10702478166_a2c847a916_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2814/10702478166_a2c847a916_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing the trainers do, is teach us the basics. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We already experienced a coaching session like this before but at a different <a href="http://thinkerbellethoughts.blogspot.com/2012/11/surfing-101-at-la-union.html" target="_blank">beach</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are a newbie, expect that all you get to do for the 2-hour training, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is standing up on your surfboard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7337/10702442794_4c4732408d_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7337/10702442794_4c4732408d_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes, you make it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7365/10702604263_94f5e22496_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7365/10702604263_94f5e22496_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And sometimes, you don't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5504/10702450506_13fd701de3_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5504/10702450506_13fd701de3_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In those 2 hours, I managed to get a mix of both,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and for the last 10 minutes, an unfortunate accident happened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My trainer was teaching me how to maneuver the board (left/right).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a few attempts, but failed so many times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5541/10702338665_d835ce8717_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5541/10702338665_d835ce8717_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my final attempt, I lost balance when a wave sent me tumbling down. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't able to control my landing, and ended up with a sprained ankle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5534/10702773803_3140753d61_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5534/10702773803_3140753d61_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My coach said I was still lucky enough because earlier that morning,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a woman fractured her knee. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7390/9201649489_08bb22a652_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7390/9201649489_08bb22a652_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After doing some first aid, our tour guide Cassie, treated us for lunch to brighten up my mood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2890/9201652767_0b6872b057_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2890/9201652767_0b6872b057_c.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Afterwards, I just watched other surfers enjoy their wave. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3698/10702594173_2e63c4bcbd_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3698/10702594173_2e63c4bcbd_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Til next time Baler! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed the 2-day-trip because it was so jam-packed,that it felt like we spent 3 or 4 days already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our Maria Aurora - Baler trip was very educational and exciting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I learned more about our history, got to know some of the locals,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
appreciated the beauty of different water creatures, and most importantly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rode a surfboard that lead to an injury I never incurred in my 20 years of dancing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that, I must say, this trip was <b><i>one short-but-memorable adventure.</i></b> :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thank you <b><i>Cassie </i></b>of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ITourBaler" target="_blank">I-tour Baler</a> for assisting us in our adventure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After passing by <a href="http://thinkerbellethoughts.blogspot.com/2014/01/baler-fishport-diguisit-falls.html" target="_blank">Baler Fish port and Diguisit Falls</a>, we have now come to our next destination</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-- <b>the Diguisit Islet.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7301/10702217793_40a1effb95_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7301/10702217793_40a1effb95_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An isle or islet is a small Island. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was my first time to go to an Islet and I never knew the many different water creatures that inhibits it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2855/10695585114_744e8ef1c1_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2855/10695585114_744e8ef1c1_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I noticed there were different kinds of rocks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of it have piled up on top of each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5546/10695606954_05d059ff7d_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5546/10695606954_05d059ff7d_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The experience was educational, not that I learned the name of each species there was,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but because now I know they exist.</div>

Diguisit Islet is like a museum, the only difference is that, these creatures are in their natural environment. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for people who would love to see different water creatures, and maybe even discover one, then I guess you'll enjoy Diguisit Islet.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make sure to ask your tour guide if the creatures could be touched. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not only for your safety, but for the creatures as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you'll ask, I was not the one who touched the crab-like creature, I am fine in taking photos. ;)</div>

From what seems to be a museum, our next stop was a real museum --<b>Museo de Baler.</b></div>

At the entrance of the museum is a monument of Manuel Quezon, the second president of the Philipines</div>

Third stop in our itinerary for our second and final day in Baler was at the <b>Baler Municipal Fish</b> port. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3718/10694524105_fdda4ee69a_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3718/10694524105_fdda4ee69a_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The view by the fish port was a a never-ending space of blueness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Blue sky. Blue Sea.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If not for the thin line that separates the two, you would never know the difference.</div>

There were a number of boats, both big and small.</div>

The say almost all places look the same, its the people you are with that makes the experience different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While fish ports might look all the same, it was this boy that made the experience different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His name is <i>Borris</i>.</div>

He was very problematic because they were fishing the entire morning and only caught a small fish.</div>

I know one day you'll make an excellent fisherman. </div>

Our next stop <b>Diguisit Falls. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unlike the <a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7458/11984110613_c731933ce8_c.jpg" target="_blank">Mother falls, </a> the Diguisit falls is much easier to access.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is just by the road going to Diguisit Islet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like us, there were lots of passers-by, wanting to take a quick plunge in the water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3750/10695831623_0939ce8518_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3750/10695831623_0939ce8518_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We even saw a family, who brought with them their baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The climb to the falls is steep, so if you are not used to climbing,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then I suggest you leave your bags in your car. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a parking area right in front of it, but can only accommodate a couple of cars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's dangerous to bring your babies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So unless your an expert at climbing like these locals, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then I suggest you just take turns in taking care of the baby at the bottom of the falls. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For our 2nd day at our Maria Aurora-Baler trip,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we woke up early, to make the most of our time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Among all the historical places I've been to,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the history in this one is very memorable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5338/9201617257_310d24420f_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5338/9201617257_310d24420f_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A long time ago, a tsunami struck the province of Aurora.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The seven statues you see below the hill, represent the seven families who survived the Tsunami.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5521/9201720957_383541313f_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5521/9201720957_383541313f_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They survived by climbing to the top of the hill</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and lived there till the catastrophe was over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thus, most of the people in Baler are descendants of these seven families.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the top of Ermita Hill is this huge cross which can be seen from anywhere across Baler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They say it was built as a reminder to the whole city of Baler of Christianity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First stop on our Maria Aurora trip was the <b>Millennium Tree.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2820/9970618404_2b639d57bf_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2820/9970618404_2b639d57bf_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
According to the tour guide, the tree is already 500 years old.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here goes a brief history.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the beginning, it was only a 'normal' tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7330/9970573374_15fc36183f_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7330/9970573374_15fc36183f_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the roots of the Balete started growing around the tree, and eventually, wrapped itself around it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is why the inside has hollow parts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5458/9970634166_6d07e33856_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5458/9970634166_6d07e33856_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went inside. It was a bit scary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can imagine the scene in Harry Potter, and the Sorcerer's Stone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wherein the 3 leads were trapped in the Devil's Snare. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5468/9204421136_37b43064eb_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5468/9204421136_37b43064eb_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are brave enough to climb the tree, there are some locals nearby who can guide you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make sure you follow everything they say, because one wrong step can be really deadly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px;"><i>We were only 1/10 the size of the whole tree</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that, we went straight to the <b>Ditumabo Falls, or Mother Falls.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was usually the itinerary for travelers on their first day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It requires physical strength, because you will be faced with strenuous activities such as</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> walking, climbing, running, and swimming. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the most visited falls in Baler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and before you can take a glimpse of its beauty, you have to go through the following:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2834/10276234346_8d29e54d86_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2834/10276234346_8d29e54d86_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a) ride a tricycle to pass a very narrow, bumpy road</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
b) follow creepy signs, and make sure you follow the pack so as not to get lost</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
c-d) pass by bridges, and don't forget to pay the locals who are maintaining it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
e) the hardest part..going against the flow of the river and climbing huuuuge rocks </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
f) the reward.. dive in a clear, cool pool afterwards :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Finally :)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo does not suffice for the beauty of this falls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to go there and experience for yourself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me, this is the best falls I have been to as of date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(The first one in Pagsanjan, the second one in Puerto Galera.)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Onto our next destination.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay tuned! :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year, our theme for Halloween is non-other than the Disney Movie, Toy Story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love decorating simply because I want to be surrounded by colorful stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, decorating challenges my creativity, and as a group, it challenges our teamwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>( Having mostly guys in our team, you would understand...;) )</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3738/10675996356_4dc80fdbe0_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3738/10675996356_4dc80fdbe0_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Decorating is exciting because for the first time this year, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not facing my computer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not typing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not dealing with numbers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not doing some serious stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first time this year, I am cutting colored papers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sewing a pink polka-dotted tulle skirt,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gluing neon-cardboard to styrofoam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Imagine my excitement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Aaaaah. It's so pretty! :) </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7378/10676220163_ac7b7dd512_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7378/10676220163_ac7b7dd512_c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I don't have a step-by-step photo on how I made the costume, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because everything was made in a hurry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it was actually quite easy to make if you have the right materials.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For <b><i><u>Buzz Lightyear</u></i></b>, you will need 3 lengthy pieces of styrofoam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A neon green, violet, and black cardboard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some pieces of metallic silver and blue foil, some red paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For <b><i><u>Bo Peep</u></i></b>, you will need 1 yard of pink polka dotted cloth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A folder for the hat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tulle cloth to make the skirt puffy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White Garter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You also need to browse the internet for some inspirations, and for patterns to copy. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Weddings are both beginnings and endings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No matter what my relationship is with the bride or groom, I cry whenever I attend one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite moment is when the bride walks down the aisle, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and upon reaching the altar, his father hands her over to his groom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>That, I think, would be the most painful moment for a father.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have lots of thoughts regarding weddings, but some are not the usual ideologies our church </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has taught us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I will just reserve these thoughts on the day I myself get married </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(</i><b><u>If</u></b> <i>that time will come. hehe).</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for now, please enjoy this photos. :)</div>

Baler is a very popular surfing spot in the Philippines,<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Last May, I had a 2D/1N trip to Baler.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But if you want to <i>surf, hike, and know more of our history</i>, then Baler is perfect for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would not recommend an overnight trip though, because it will definitely leave you wanting more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And be careful when you surf! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Always listen to your coach, or you might end up like me.</div>

Please pardon the lack of words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am very much distracted by the poor editing of these photos. :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taking outfit shots are the hardest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I am in the night shift, I don't get a chance to meet Mister Sun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the editing, I am a newbie in Photoshop. <i>*boo*</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am blaming it all on my college self.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back then, I have so many friends who are <i>sooooo</i> good at Photoshop,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not to mention, a brother who is <i>sooooooo</i> good in Photography, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I didn't get a chance to learn from them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess all my focus was on dancing and studying. lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So please, in the meantime, bare with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise that I will learn these things. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two people may dance the same steps, dance to the same music,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but somehow the execution is different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As an individual, honing your artistry is a positive thing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will set you aside from a sea of dancers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>It is movement combined with character.</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is putting yourself <i>into </i>it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This becomes a problem when dancing in groups,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>wherein you have to blend in.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This does not mean to lower down your abilities,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now is the time to show the people what you've worked so hard for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set aside your personal agendas, and focus on the team's goal</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As long as you've learned something new,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as long as it contributed to your development, may it be as a dancer, or as a person,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you are a winner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We may have finished 1st runner up,but being able to dance with these guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and learning from each and every one of them, already feels like I've won. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After every performance, I always assess if I became better.<br />
Did I learn anything new?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Was I able to share, what I know?</div>

A great teacher once told me,<br />

Well, in terms of dressing up, my problem is wearing an appropriate outfit for commuting, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
without compromising style. </div>

<b><i>How to fit in the crowd, but still stand out. </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My solution is wearing a loose top over a fitted-dress <i>(which I styled differently in <a href="http://thinkerbellethoughts.blogspot.com/2013/04/black-sheer-and-leather.html" target="_blank">this post</a>)</i>.</div>

I bought this denim blouse at <b>Pandora's Shopbox</b>, my friend's online store.</div>

big enough to carry a folding umbrella, a Starbucks planner, and my pencil case. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This post is dedicated to all those 20-somethings, who are looking for their places in this world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you asking yourself <i>"Where do I belong?"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or telling yourself in panic <i>"I don't belong anywhere!!"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If not, good for you, you may now leave this page <i>(lol.bitter haha)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But if yes, then this one is for you <b><i>(for us)</i></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5456/9178285962_782f6cd464_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5456/9178285962_782f6cd464_b.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot of things in this world is demanding us to "fit in". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>You should have this..You should know that..</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>By this age you should already be married..</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>So on,and so forth..</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can make you go craaaaazy! <i>(Like what I am feeling right now)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or you can always use it as a fuel to move forward.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some reminders that can hopefully help us get through this. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;">1) Know yourself </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Know your strengths and weaknesses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continue doing what you are good at, and decide whether you are going to ignore your weakness or improve on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Ignore it</u> if you think it is really not for you. <i>Sometimes it is good to accept your weakness,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> than to waste you energy on something you are not.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Improve it</u></b> if you think it can help you in the future, and if you really want to be a well-rounded person. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just remember that <i><b>you can't be everything all at the same time.</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: white;"><b>2) Live your life in your own pace </b></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since you now know yourself more than anyone, decide if you will take baby steps or big leaps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are the only one who can decide on that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Life is not a race.</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't compare on what others have accomplished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have accomplishments and you have to acknowledge it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You deserve a pat on the back, and a <i>"Good job!"</i> from yourself. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know you hear this all the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But sometimes, when you are already in that situation, you forget all about this,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and choose to cry, and sulk in one corner, and cry again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, what are you doing?? Get up and try again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If not in that career, then choose another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The month of May has always been a double celebration for us-- </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because of Mother's day, and at the same time, my mother's birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If last year, we celebrated it with adventurous spirits at <a href="http://thinkerbellethoughts.blogspot.com/2012/11/celebrating-mothers-day-at-tagaytay.html" target="_blank">Tagaytay,</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this time we decided to just chill out at <b><i>Puerto Galera</i></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since we are on a tight budget, we checked out <i><b>Metrodeal</b></i> for travel promos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fortunately, we found one which costs P1450 per person, for 3D 2N accomodation at <a href="http://www.divingresortelcanonero.com/index_eng.html" target="_blank">El Canonero Resort</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><b><u><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tip 1</span></u></b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Check the validity of your vouchers! </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Its very hard to differentiate scams from "Real deals."</i></div>

We left Manila, Saturday at 6:30am aboard a Ceres Bus (along Buendia Corner Taft Avenue).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a chilly morning, and we were hoping it wouldn't rain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After almost two hours, we arrived at the Batangas Port.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Upon arriving, a lot of boatmen will come and assist you on which shipping line to choose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I suggest you just follow the signs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will lead you to the payment area, where you can choose from a lot of different shipping lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They do not follow the given schedule, because they are really after reaching the total capacity of the boat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tip 2</span></i></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>If you are going to Talipanan Beach, take the Gallerian Lines,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> because they are the only shipping line that docks at Talipanan Beach.</i></div>

Please take note that there is a separate fee for Environmental Fee, and Insurance Fee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Puerto Galera is further divided into three islands: <i><b>White Beach, Sabang Beach, and Talipanan Beach.</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White Beach, and Sabang Beach are for party people. People who want to enjoy the night life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In contrast, Talipanan Beach, being isolated, is for the couples and families who are looking for peace and quiet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since we didn't know that Gallerian also docks at Talipanan, we got off the boat at White Beach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, we rode a tricycle going to Talipanan Beach. It was a 20-minute ride which costs Php 150.</div>

This is actually my personal pray this past week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes, you really want something, and you give all your best to achieve it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>but it was just not enough.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then,you ask for a sign if it is meant for you or not. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>It gets confusing. </i></b>You have no choice but to move forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just when you are at your darkest, <b><i>God sheds light.</i></b> :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Weekend! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without further ado, I am now going to share with you the instructions for this mouth-watering dessert.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Step 1</u></b>. Gather the ingredients. You will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>pancake mix | <b>Fluffy n'Tasty 500g</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Oreos | <b>1 pack Oreo( contains 14pcs.)</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>chocolate syrup | </i><b><i>Clara Ole Choco Syrup</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>vanilla ice cream | </i><b><i>Selecta Super Thick Classic Vanilla</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>an egg</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>cooking oil</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>water </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 2.</u> Pour the pancake mix in a bowl. Here, I only used 1 pack of 250g hotcake mix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step3.</u> Add the egg and add water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 4.</u> Mix well. Make sure that the batter is just right, not too thick or not too watery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPuowaDerps41d1tOKtZv0rCgYWZuyv8ep-k8VaNNredmixYkDb3UQvlxRNALOO155IQBU3E74eyStilaLGm2xaIyD0Vg1DBcwX1RgEGxOUohGQ8SL_7BhTq_XWV-aoCeZJ2xzw4qM7V3y/s1600/for+blog+oreos1+edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPuowaDerps41d1tOKtZv0rCgYWZuyv8ep-k8VaNNredmixYkDb3UQvlxRNALOO155IQBU3E74eyStilaLGm2xaIyD0Vg1DBcwX1RgEGxOUohGQ8SL_7BhTq_XWV-aoCeZJ2xzw4qM7V3y/s1600/for+blog+oreos1+edited.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 5.</u> Dip the Oreos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 6.</u> Cover the whole cookie. Make sure you cover the reverse side with batter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 7.</u> While you are heating the oil in a pan, prepare a plate/bowl with tissue/oil absorbent paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 8.</b> When the oil is hot already, put the Oreos covered with batter inside the pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The batter cooks quickly, so be sure to flip it right away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 9.</u> Drain the excess oil in a strainer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Step 10.</u> Let it cool on a plate with tissue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRtd5gs5aab-JnhqRAWE-kr0rpZlyYAMjZjzUxcx6QcbnVYRq3ZF2dMzxrAptL3FQm01kTpugNvIiplhoqZwvsAQi6BgEMwpgmFVbQKQJ021BBTkkuaCDkjNjBbQFiz_lZ87c1wCm2mYMd/s1600/IMG_0573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRtd5gs5aab-JnhqRAWE-kr0rpZlyYAMjZjzUxcx6QcbnVYRq3ZF2dMzxrAptL3FQm01kTpugNvIiplhoqZwvsAQi6BgEMwpgmFVbQKQJ021BBTkkuaCDkjNjBbQFiz_lZ87c1wCm2mYMd/s1600/IMG_0573.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can serve it like this, but I want to add more sweets! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I placed 3 Deep Fried Oreos in a small plate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Added a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on Top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally, I added chocolate syrup. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQA8Va6yJ2SjxsHadqiTjMEsbrBJhf-Mc0s_QDMUFCjCuji9-XmlAjYB_ZETTz9ABZ9kShR_0V2vwPghsOr-dznLhFSH7tSk0vIkZD3n0bBPVu5aAeoy0lhCsFfmXMH5xw5nIPoPrGnTS/s1600/for+blog+oreos2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQA8Va6yJ2SjxsHadqiTjMEsbrBJhf-Mc0s_QDMUFCjCuji9-XmlAjYB_ZETTz9ABZ9kShR_0V2vwPghsOr-dznLhFSH7tSk0vIkZD3n0bBPVu5aAeoy0lhCsFfmXMH5xw5nIPoPrGnTS/s1600/for+blog+oreos2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there you have it! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrf0Tkk047Cp7uBsWMKRer8iIf9Hcyj45cUmxQ036Mwi8UaxbNiRe6fyZOC-Ga7jnYVzP5_r7ImhX4VXA9ETyifSu0ytVNnDeWZNLaUW3TwOuP0ToRHuN614_mXs_LT8VrbpKuPbWDnV66/s1600/IMG_0599.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrf0Tkk047Cp7uBsWMKRer8iIf9Hcyj45cUmxQ036Mwi8UaxbNiRe6fyZOC-Ga7jnYVzP5_r7ImhX4VXA9ETyifSu0ytVNnDeWZNLaUW3TwOuP0ToRHuN614_mXs_LT8VrbpKuPbWDnV66/s1600/IMG_0599.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is best served with the Oreos a little bit hot, so the Ice Cream will give it contrast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't forget to drink lots of water afterwards!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is very good for sharing, since I think 3 Oreos are enough for an individual.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Enjoy! :) </i></b></div>
