santiagoOverlooking Ciudad de Santiago, Chile

Hello there everyone I’m here again to say something about my day… Well we had these long break once again but I’m kinda bored here at home. Staying at home is no longer my routine because I got used in working 9 hours a day, meaning I stay in the bank longer than in my house. Somehow I found something to keep myself busy and that is to watch TV.

I would like to share what I have seen on the cable. Have you seen the show in Discovery Travel and Living entitled “Passport to Latin America with Samantha Brown”? I recently watched the show and I was so fascinated about the places she had been in South America. On her episode she went to Santiago, Chile and mingled with the locals, people are Spanish speaking and they do have a very busy lifestyle. Accordingly Chile is the most prosperous nation in the South American continent to date, and it really show off to the people because of their modern lifestyle. Though they have the western lifestyle they are still proud of their ancestral heritage of being native Americans. Some locals built shop that displays their cultural traditions. They sell goods that are totally Indians, like spears, sombreros and even woven clothes like ponchos and many more.

Samantha also featured the scenic spots of the country, Santiago-the vibrant capital of Chile is situated on foot of the Andes giving the people nice view of the snowcapped mountains, a wonderful place to behold indeed. Waterfalls were all around the suburb and could you imagine that all water falling from these falls were actually coming from the melting snow of the mountains?. According to her it was very cold but refreshingly good. Wow I got to try those haha if it’s possible.

Meanwhile what I like most of the episode is the culinary creativity of the Chilean people. Most of the foods are mixed flavor of the European and American Indian influence. Just like the beef recipes which are so flavorful and tasty to look at. Wines are also a proud product of Chile, with rich and fertile land the country has a lot of winery which is comparable with the European counter parts.

Chile really has so many exciting things to offer, it is a wonderful place as told by Samantha Brown. From the time I saw the show I now have it in my mind that one day I could visit this country and wander as a tourist.

That’s all for now and have a blessed New Year to all! Adios!

A Day After Christmas…

daily ramblings No Comments »

going homeAfter the Christmas break, I really anticipated that this day would be very busy.
Working in a bank is very tedious especially when there are holidays because all works are waiting for you. I had served a lot of clients today, I had a lot of encashment, check validation and cash deposits.. I almost got into tension with a client because I forgot to call his attention after validating his transaction but I still apologized anyway.

After banking hours I started to count and balance my transactions and I was so thankful that everything went good. I was balanced and my transactions were all correct. I went home with a smile on my face because once again it was a job well done.

Well that was my experience today and I’m again expecting something like that in the days to come, you know after the New Years break LOL…

A White Christmas!!

snowDreaming on going to winter wonderland? Yup, all of us including me would want to travel across the world just to try how it feels to be on a winter wonderland…

I’m obviously a tropical man and my place is near the equator so I have never seen a naturally crystallized form of H2O. Sounds funny though but its true, that is why many Filipinos have gone far out of the Philippines to experience this moment….

But did you know that recently the US mainland had experienced tremendous snow fall that it had caused serious damage to some….. Electricity was out to some areas and accidents due to slippery roads were common…

Too much snow indeed and a very white Christmas. So? Thinking of seeing snow? Well think again….. Merry Christmas everyone!

Antarctic tourism?

nature 1 Comment »

Did you know that the last frontier on earth is being invaded by, shall we say Tourist?… Yes from the title of my post itself, I am talking about Antarctica….
I recently saw documentaries regarding these lucrative business, where in anyone as long as you have the money can go and witness the beauty of the Antarctic continent…
I am never against the tourist, but I am against to the thought that Antarctica is being exploited… So what happened to the treaties that hoped to protect this magnificient continent? There is a treaty that somehow carry out solution so that this area will be protected from any territorial claim of a country. Yes no one claim this area but there are people who wants to exploit it and used it to gain money and leave the area vulnerable to pollution and environmental degradation.
Who falls victims of these exploitation? Well if we would generally think of Antarctica, its barren, a wasteland, and lifeless but you might be surprised when you suddenly learn that there is life in this land…. Indeed there are penguins, sea lions, and the humpbacks whale, they are few the species who lives comfortably in these region…
What if oils from the ships who carries passengers spills out, gosh that would be a disaster… It would definitely kill a great proportion of animals not to mention the distraction it could bring to nature…. Garbages and other trash used by the passengers may bring pollution….
There are too many possibilities of what Antarctic tourism could bring in this vulnerable environment…
The reason why I wrote this blog is to bring awareness that some of the earths region must be preserved particularly the Antarctic region… This is the place where wildlife are the only inhabitants, they are vulnerable and could be phased out when time that this land is totally exploited.
When shall the governments acts on this serious matter? Tourism is benefecial to some aspects, that it brings about joy to the people and it could foster economic success to many businessman, but it could also jeoperdize the environment of Antarctica… So when do we react?
