Corregidor: Battery Way

Oh man, I am soooooo terribly busy and I don't think it will change much for another couple of weeks. Jeez.

And just when you guys thought that the Corregidor tour posts have finished -- think again! We've just had lunch during the last post, remember??? This is the beginning of the afternoon tour, so have a crack at it.

Frustrated Sosyalera has somewhat made it her personal mission to show the world how awesome Corregidor Island is, and that's why this series of posts on it seem never ending! She just went on a day tour, but ended up taking hundreds of photos to document it and it would be a waste not to share with everyone.

Creepy photos after the jump!

The next stop after Middleside Barracks was Battery Way.





I'm inserting this photo because I'm so proud of my panoramic shot. Vanity at it's finest.





There isn't much to say about it really, except for the fact that they got damn creepy rooms in there. See that door? They've got bullet holes all over them. Geez.





What'd I tell yah?





Creepy, creepy, creepy. I can't even get through to the other end. Only til the point where the light still hits.





They've also got damn big guns.





You will also find guys poking metal detectors all over the island looking for old coins like this. They're worth quite a bit, I've heard.





Never ask your boyfriend to take your photo while smoking. The boyfriend claims this is intentional, however, I'm not sure what he is trying to achieve here. Lame pose from me as well. Some model I turned out to be. Pfttt.


If you want to know more about the tour I've had, just go to the Travel category of this site.



Next stop: Battery Hearn

Wanting to make yourself look amazing

I've always wondered what it would be like to have something surgically done to my face or body. Every girl has their moments of insecurity -- having cellulite, being fat, being a monolid (that's a big one for girls of east asian descent), being flat nosed, wanting bigger breasts, and so on.

But then how would you know if any of the procedures to fix those problem areas will be right for me? Or if there are any reputable surgeons near where I live? And if there are so many choices, how would I compare them with each other? I don't want to do anything rash, so I would definitely want to seek Plastic Surgery Advice from experts at MYA.

I have had a relapse

I have been so good with my diet, but my weight had not gone down past the 8lbs mark...

... and I've had a McDonalds meal the other night (the spaghetti with chicken nuggets one) and boy, did I feel guilty and happy at the same time. Life is always a mix of emotions.

Depriving myself of comfort foods actually drives me crazy because I start to crave the darndest things. I've gotten tired of having fast food all the time, so I've decided to grocery shop for canned goods. But as I've gotten tired of those as well, it drove me to do something I nearly never do...


...to cook actual meals.

It's the end of life as I knew it!




Behold my Bicol Express made with menudo-cut pork!


I've cooked before sure, but only because I've got guests coming and I'm too embarassed to make them eat pizza again and again.


This is the beginning of Frustrated Sosyalera's cooking career. Hehe!

Food, glorious food.

All I seem to do these days is talk about food! It seems as if dieting had triggered a dormant obsession. I can’t stop thinking about Thai curry, big hamburgers, pasta in all sorts of sauces, cakes and Jamaican patties! I came across this seafood bisque recipe only recently and it had made my mouth water just reading through it. If this keeps up, I may be forced to go to the gym and I really do hate exercising. What’s a girl to do? I think I’m going to have to go to the supermarket later to get me some apples or something.
