All-American Casino

5 05 2008

And you will find that online.  One guy I happened to talk with in a chatroom told me that online casinos is very addicting.  He is from San Francisco and playing online is one of his past time.  He told me that he is very familiar with USA online casinos.  I told him, that’s cool because I have often read about USA online casinos and many are into it.  I think if am out there, I would surely play casino from this site for they give simplified casinos guide.  Fred, the name of that guy, said,  that in this online casino, they accept all USA players from all over the states with no limit and they feature big bonus and many free casino games.  Check their site out and enjoy playing from the comforts of your own home.

bound to be painful. 
But,
done and over,
the hurting
stops.”





Bible Land Cruise

5 05 2008

Going on a cruise is one of the “must” thing I would like to do before I die.  Be it boat cruise to nearby Asian countries or be it in Central America or whereever as long as the boat is big and clean and safe.   Though small boat is fine but it can’t prevent me from thinking the what ifs of it sinking or what will happen if the waves will be too big — nahhhh i would then think it is the end of me. LOL!

Am a Bible fan or an avid Bible reader.  I love to read its stories of long ago that sometime I find myself imaginging what if i was already alive long time ago and I was one of those Israelites travelling from Egypt to Canaan.  I also imagined that I was living in Bethlehem the time Jesus was born and I was outside the Temple courts when Jesus at the young age of 12 was already sharing ideas with the Rabbis in the temple that made Mary and Joseph scared for they were already on a travel back to their hometown only to discover Jesus was not with them.  I wonder what would it be like being dressed the way they are dressed.  I wonder too what would it be like travelling the way they travel long time ago.  All these and many more fascinates me to join a Christian Cruise.

Christian Family Cruise is an exciting to do especially if you are very familiar with the places being mentioned in the Bible.  I can imagine that the experience will truly be exciting and inspiring thinking that “here I am now walking the roads where once Jesus walked.”   Not just Jesus but the other disciples as well.

If ever I can join a cruise like this one day, it would then be the best days of my life.  Fortunately, the Bible Land Chrisitan Cruises is offering a 2 weeks trip that will begin July 19 this year and the point of exit is in America and will visit places where Paul travelled long time ago.  Imagine on my birthdate which is July 23, the group is going to visit the Isle of Patmos and they will also visit his tomb. At the end of the cruise, you will fly out from Athens then you will have the chance to go on the Institute extended trip to Malta.  Doesn’t that sound exciting?

Sad me, I still can’t make it this time – but hopeful that in few years time, i can join.  How about you?  Do want to go?  Check out their site, you may join the group this time.

WS # 7 – Camiguin Trip!

5 05 2008

“The Mt. Hibok-Hibok taken from the famous White Island of Camiguin.“

I spent the Week-end in Camiguin Island with the General Education faculty of our school. There were 15 of us with our own vehicle so we really had the chance to tour the whole Island although we haven’t stepped on Mantigue Island and the Tuasan falls (unaccessible by vehicle). We splurge ourselves with the beauty of nature first at Ardent Spring (hot spring), then White Island, then Katibawasan Falls and then the Cold Spring in Sto. Nino, Catarman. On our way back from the cold spring, we dropped by at the Mt. Volcan’s ruined church and the sunken cemetery. We started and ended our stay enjoying the warm deep at Mt. HibokHibok hot spring (Ardent Spring)

I hope everyone had a nice week-end!
