My Weekend and Missing 811

How's your weekend everyone? I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. This weekend is a lazy weekend for me (as always). I stayed home the whole day and spent my time sitting in front the computer and TV. Luckily, my computer didn't shut down on its own today. Because of that I finally had the chance to start watching the first episode of Korean's City Hunter for a reason it stars Lee Minho.

Since it is weekend, it is time to share some colors in a photo(s).

It made me wonder why most of time the color yellow is used for direction banner and sticker labels. You may not wonder why but I bet you've noticed yellow is always used as color for direction sticker labels. See that labels on the picture above as example. Why not red, blue or let me say pink?

These pictures by the way were taken inside 811 music bar. Yes, yes, it's 811 again. I am just saddened upon  the closing of this music bar. It had became my favorite place to sing and now they've totally closed it. One thing I like about the place is the comfort room or the ladies for it's clean and truly comfortable. Although they were short on workers, they've managed to keep the comfort room clean. I missed the place a lot! I missed singing my heart out to the top of my lungs on their cute stage.

UK Hair Transplant Surgeon

Hair loss and baldness are just few of the fears we are going to face as we aged. It must have been devastating for those who have experience to slowly losing their thick crowning glory turning the head into a shiny empty scalp or simply bald. This hair problem particularly baldness mostly happens to men but seldom to women as I know of. Actually, many of my uncles are now bald but instead of dwelling with the pain of hair loss, they wholeheartedly accepted their being bald. To those men who can afford, of course hair transplant is the option. Hair transplant surgeons like Dr Asim Shahmalak who has clinics across UK are like fairy godfathers that restore confidence to bald men.

A Threat of Rain

I was walking through my old photos in my files when I bumped into this picture of a gloomy sky. This is an old and unshared photo in my files taken last year by Cheep during one of her visits to her friend's house in Galas if I am not mistaken.

A threat of rain it was...it sure had brought a happy and sad thought to everyone. Happy were those who have farms for they got free water for their plants and sad were those whose houses were visited by the overflowing rain water from the river. It happened to some houses near us last year. It was sad.

With this gloom of a sky, it's like holding a very heavy rain that will pour sooner or later. With this gloom of a sky, it serves as a warning for me not to wash too much laundry and not to hang it outside if I don't like rewashing and wasting laundry soap. Lol! We are getting this kind of weather here meanwhile. What about in your area?

Holiday Dreams and Plans

Nowadays, we tend to see holidays as a dream which we would like to come true. Something which we can aspire to and hope to one day achieve. We usually yearn for somewhere warm and sunny, without a drop of rain in sight. Somewhere where we can frolic around in soft, golden sands and clear, turquoise waters. While people at home may be playing PartyPoker (DE), you could be dining out in a luxurious harbor restaurant, listening to the sounds of tranquility.

Others dream of the hustle and bustle of a new city. The excitement of being here instead of at home, somewhere you see everyday, is extremely attractive. To be able to see new landmarks, new faces and go shopping in new places. Perhaps dine in a revolving restaurant, or have a picnic in a park.

It is also the different modes of transport that excites some holidaymakers. Trams are new to some people, to others boats are something even more rarely seen, let alone ridden. To be carried around in something that we are not used to can either be exciting or nerve-wracking, depending on your desire for adventure.

Essentials to bring with you are a camera and sunscreen. This is because hopefully there will be plenty of beautiful sites which you want to capture. Also, the idea is that this will be taking place in a lovely and sunny place, making sunscreen a welcome necessity.

No matter whether or not you travel with companions, you are highly likely to meet new people on your travels. If you stay in a hostel with a bar, this is an ideal place to make new friends. Everyone is in a good mood and the drinks are flowing. You will have plenty to talk about due to your adventures of the day, and will enjoy hearing about theirs.

Water Wednesday: Fountain

I can't recall if I've already posted these photos in here but if ever I did, still I want to share this again. I was just so amazed when my eyes fell on this awesome work at the Fantasy Land. It is a different structure of fountain from those I've seen usually. Just by the sight of it you can tell it's different.

It's a canopy-like fountain. The water come up I think through that curved tubes to the center stone. Then the water drop from it down the drain below. Have you ever seen a fountain like this before?

Explore Rome and Spend a Night in a Hotel in Rimini

Italy truly is a beauty. It is one of the places I’ve longed to explore. This country has been in my list since grade school. I want to see the magnificent structures and learn the history of Rome in particular. The awesome sceneries and the history of the place would surely fill my hungry mind and vision. So my first stop when there would be Rome which is the country’s capital. I wish!

Here’s what I would do if this wish will come true. After a day of exploration in Rome, I would take a train or a bus to Rimini to spend the night in one of the hotels in there. Rimini as well has something it is proud of like the best hotels and accommodations it offers. A hotel that caught my attention while doing a search in hotel rimini was Le Rose Suite Hotel. For some reason, I feel a tang of excitement while browsing through the hotel information and photos.

Here are some information about the hotel:

- overlooking the sea
- white and slender buildings in colonial style
- it has veiled gazebo and heated pool
- it has fireplace at the lobby facing the refreshing view of the beach
- it offers Internet connectivity, baby sitting services, kids games and a lot more
- no in-house or on-site restaurant but they recommend the best restaurant nearby (not bad)

There are restaurants near the hotel that offer take-away services, it would be just fine. I just love the hotel's colonial style and the fireplace at the lobby. I am imagining of chilling in there while sipping my wine and enjoying the view of the beach before my eyes. Lovely!

If you are to explore Rome but had booked a hotel in Rimini, you can take a plane ride from Rome to Rimini if you want a quick trip but for sight seeing purposes, either a bus or a train ride would be best to take so you can enjoy the beauty you can see on the road.

Fire Play

This is not the sensual or censored fire play. This is a fire play that is done in front a general crowd where children can as well watch and enjoy (with parents' guidance) the dances and moves of fires done by those who know or have talent with working with fire. I first seen fire exhibition like this in Boracay and second was in Dapitan City inside the Fantasy Land where this picture above was taken. It was amusing!

I am sharing this to:

811 Music Bar Entrance

Here is the view of the entrance of 811 Music Bar. Check out the catchy banner: First in Dipolog that offers drinks unlimited.

For you to enter the music bar, you must pass the narrow steps up to the second floor. It is located on the second floor occupying an average space enough for thirty to forty costumers..and perhaps more.

Here is the closer look of the entrance. There used to be a security guard down there but the business didn't do very well lately that the management had to fire him. And I heard from one of the workers there that the owner is planning to close the business. I am sad about it for I like the place.

Bahamas Resort, An Awesome Escape

Are you in need of an awesome escape from your busy and hassle world? You can seek that awesome escape you longed for in Bimini Bay Resort and Marina, a Bahamas Resort situated 48 nautical miles from South Florida. I heard about the place from my other half before and said it’s not that far from my in laws. Aside from accommodations offered in this part of Florida, it as well has resort homes for those who love living within the sight of the ocean.

Colorful Drop Lighting In 811

My friend and I visited back 811 last week. To those who do not know yet, 811 is a newly opened bar we recently explored. It's a bar with a free videoke - 3 songs per table. That visit last week was yet another night out treat for me by a friend. Sweet! I haven't uploaded the photos yet from our recent visit there that's why I'm sharing today the old photos I failed to share on my previous post about the place. These were the photos taken during our first visit in 811.

The stage were colorfully illuminated by balloon drop lighting  making the singers feel like popular stars. I enjoyed much on the singing and for sure my friends enjoyed it too.

Here is the little DJ booth. This little area right here needs makeover but I see no problem with the sound quality though. That little box has a lot of songs stored. I was truly satisfied as I've played and sung all the songs I felt like singing that night.

Here are more photos of my friends on stage. They had a lot of fun stealing the microphone from each other while I enjoyed taking photos of them. I did took a lot of awkward photos but they deleted it all.  They cared more on their songs than on their Boracay shots.

Restaurants and Bars Should Have Hand Dryers

It's a total plus for eateries and restaurants to have Hand Dryers installed in their comfort rooms or at the hand washing areas. Costumers will likely look for these stuffs to quickly dry their hands after washing hands and before starting their foods. I personally think hand dryers are way better to use for drying hands than paper towels as the latter leave some tiny particles on the hands that could be bothersome. In looking for hand dryers, there are online shops you can run to that offers various kinds and designs. You'll just have to browse on to pick your preferred dryer.

If I Own This Bar

...I would be drunk everyday. I couldn't imagine myself resisting these liquors if this bar happened to be situated inside my house. Could you?

I snatched this picture off my youngest sister's files. This is DMC's bar laboratory. This is where all their sessions of drink mixing take place. It's a nice bar lab eh? That's what to expect when you study in the so-called La Salle supervised school in Dipolog City. Of course, the tuition fee as well is nice to look at on the receipt but ugly in the pocket. That's why I would stay up late just to make money to help my sister out with her tuition fee.
