--BOHOL—
► Sleep at Guindulman Bay Tourist Inn: https://bit.ly/2H9U3Mq 
Go see:
► Waterfalls of Candijay (can-umantad falls) 
► Rice fields of Candijay 
► Lamanok island tour 
► Hike behind the hotel and see the amazing valley! Just walk the road inland from Guindulman bay tourist inn for 20 minutes or so!

--LINAPACAN--
I did my tour with Buhay Isla! 
http://buhayisla.com/

--PORT BARTON--
►Hotel: I honestly think there are so many new places, I do not dare to make a recommendation!
►Tours: Jeremy & Jake tours is the one I’d recommend! Did you know I made and organize their FB page?  Just a fun fact! I made it cause I really believe in them! https://www.facebook.com/portbartonto...

--SIARGAO--
There are multiple hotels I can recommend.
►Surfing Carabao: https://bit.ly/2Jup0Oi
My favorite! 
►Ocean 101: http://www.ocean101cloud9.com/
►Kawili: https://www.facebook.com/kawiliresort/ (also for food)
►Tourcompany I used and recommend is My Siargao Guide (book with them through Bravo resort). 
Other places to check out (especially if you rent your own bike):
►Pacifico, long drive but popular surf spot and beach
►Magpungko Rock pool, which is apparently very stunning when the sun is out!
►Tayangban Cave Pool
►Tak tak waterfall

--SIQUIJOR--
►Hotel: Garden Bungalows resort (loved it!) https://bit.ly/2W8IieO 
►Tours I booked through the hotel. Though I would recommend getting a motorcycle and find the waterfalls, beaches and good spots all yourself!

--SIPALAY—
► Sleep in Takatuka resort (featured in the video): https://bit.ly/2wv3KQV 
►Take a tour to Danjugan Island (arranged by hotel)
►Tour the main attractions of Sipalay itself (1000 pesos half a day or 1500 whole day). Excluding fees along the way. 
Including Perth resort (infinity pool), the cave, one more resort and special places along the way. 
You can arrange this tour with Roland Dequina – rolandtours.wordpress.com or 09489358749 

--BATANES—
Visit Sabtang, Batan and Itbayat. 
►Batan hotel: Nanay cita’s Homestay: https://www.facebook.com/NanayCitasHo...
►Sabtang hotel: ask to stay at the lighthouse!
►Itbayat: arrive and ask for the mayor or miss Cano (when I was there these were the only homestays)
►Tours Batan: there is a northern and a southern tour on Batan. Do both of them! You can fit them in 1 day but rather take 2. 
►Tours Itbayat: do the general island tour but ALSO the sunrise tour! That one is the BEST!
►Sabtang: go for the standard half a day tour or sleep at the island and take the extended tour! :D Both are good, it depends on how much time you have. 

--ISLAS DE GIGANTES--
No recommendings for hotels. For tours: do the island tour for sure! It’s the best out here, and very close to each other. 
Also go for the caves and lighthouse if you have time to spare, otherwise just stick to the islands. 

--SIBALTAN (EL NIDO)—
►Sleep in Tapik Beach: https://bit.ly/2MmPm7Q 
You can do all the tours in El Nido from here, just ask at the resort. Also I’d recommend to do an island tour around Sibaltan, ask for the good corals! Mangrove tour is nice, only if you have time to spare. 

--CORON—
Not found a specific hotel I can recommend here. 
DEFINITELY do the ULTIMATE island tour! You’ll see the lakes and good corals, the shipwrecks and the islands. If you do Buhay Isla or an other Linapacan tour, ask what they already cover cause there might be overlap here. 
Climb mount Dalara if you’re done with islands 

Top 10 Tourist Attractions & Best Places To Visit In Philippines




Best Places To Visit In Philippines - If you are planning to travel the Philippines or you are willing to know how to travel the Philippines, Top 10 World lists Best Places in the Philippines you must visit.

Here are the best places to go to Philippines top places to visit and travel destinations.

1. MassKara Festival
2. Explore Cebu City
3. Banaue Rice Terraces
4. Boracay Island
5. White Beach at Puerto Galera 
6. Chocolate Hills
7. El Nido Philippines 
8. Legazpi City
9. Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park
10. Huma Island, Palawan

--WHAT TO SEE IN DANJUGAN--

I did a tour that’s arranged. I believe it’s not even allowed to go around the island without a guide, but correct me if I am wrong!

It’s p1950 per head, including lunch and snacks, the boatride to the island and back to the shore. Note you’ll still need to go to the pick up point by tricycle. From Takatuka this was 300 pesos one way (so 600 back and forth). If you make friends and get into the tour together it will be cheaper ;)

Island is very small only 0.5 km wide and 1.5 kilometer long. It’s a sanctuary which means it’s not allowed to do fishing in most area’s around it, and there are a lot of places for birds to nest. With your tour you help preserving the island. 

You’ll support the island with your visit (it’s a protected area)
You can fly the drone here though!

Staying overnight on the island is possible too. In basic (very basic) huts on one side or a bit more relaxed and comforting on the other. There is no wifi, and no signal on the more relaxed place, you’ll need to walk a bit for that. 

--WHERE TO SLEEP IN DANJUGAN--

There are basically 2 options on the island itself. One more basic (very basic) and one more luxurious. They’re on opposite sides of the island. It depends on your liking really.

The more basic place is more windy in general, and does not have a beach. I liked the more luxurious option a bit better, because it’s more chilled, there’s a beach and it feels more homey! But again, it depends on your liking and budget. 

► Just find all information on their website:
http://www.danjuganisland.ph/

As for staying on the main land: I would highly recommend Takatuka Lodge! Love the place! Inspired on Pippi Longstocking’s tale, with a lot of weird rooms all over the place. Different themes like the cave room, superstar, rockadilly, a castle… you name it ;) It’s seriously the best hotel I’ve been in in the Philippines (and I have been to a lot I love ;) – It’s so funky and unique, the owners and staff are friendly and helpful, the food is great, they attract friendly guests, the beach is just there. AMAZING! Seriously. Go here. GO! What are you waiting for? ;)

► Find Takatuka here:
https://goo.gl/gAw3is

--WHERE TO EAT IN SIPALAY--

Because I stayed on Sugar Beach, there’s not much options to get out for dinner. You can’t just leave and get back after dark  I stayed at Takatuka mainly for food, and it’s good! Not cheap but a whole lot of variety, and great healthy stuff.

How Cute Baby Learn from Nature


How Your Baby Learn from Nature

Invite children to remove their shoes so they can explore their environment with their feet. Have them walk on grass, sand, rocks, and leaves. Encourage them to splash in puddles. The only rule that must be respected is to make sure the different surfaces are safe and that no objects with sharp edges are present.



Variation using sand: Prepare a mixture of cornstarch and water and add sand until you have the desired consistency. Deposit the mixture in trays and let children manipulate it. They will find this texture very amusing!

When children step outside, they get plenty of opportunities to interact with other playmates. In nature, they can connect with others, help each other, share their learning and solve problems together. Children often collaborate to have the best experience. They might also find a friend to reach out to when consoling themselves during times of need. Moreover, it helps children to act freely, while not escaping their responsibilities.

Integrating nature education into the curriculum teaches children many important concepts, such as aesthetics, respect, caring for the earth, and the interrelationships among humans and the habitat. As the world becomes more populated and polluted, and as some animal and plant life becomes endangered and extinct, the role that we all play in protecting or destroying the earth can be reinforced. Through nature study, children can learn how they affect the environment as well as how the environment affects them. By having rich and varied opportunities to experience and explore nature, children can begin to value and appreciate their immediate world and will hopefully generalize this knowledge to other situations and places.

Five little Cute Babies Jumping on the bed




The research showed babies respond to the rhythm and tempo of music, and find it more engaging than speech.


The findings, based on a study of 120 infants between 5 months and 2 years old, suggest that humans may be born with a predisposition to move rhythmically in response to music.



Hi, you just have to know that you already can dance to start right away. Classes are there to see how others are dancing. Most video tutorials only show step patterns, they don't actually teach dancing. I wrote this some time ago, have fun:


Welcome, new Dancer!

As you think about entering the World of Dance,

the first thing you will want to know is:

You don't need to know any special steps to do any kind of dance.

Dancing is about relating yourself to the music you hear,

with your movement.

And here, it's all yours, it's all free - You are the dancer.

Try watching different videos to understand the basics of different styles of dance. Maybe you don't like all the forms but first select your style and start practicing and then try to capture your moves on camera do it weekly wise the improvement will be seen on camera and you can be good dancer later on. For example I never went to any classes for training but I practice above procedure daily and there is lot of followers of mine on Instagram..slow and steady wins the race.





Cute Baby Goat Easter Fun 2019




All goats under 6 months of age are called kids. Female goats over the age of 6 months are generally called doelings, and are female goats that have not reached maturity. Male goats over the age of 6 months are called bucklings, which are simply immature male goats. Once a female goat has reached maturity, she is called a doe. A mature male goat is called a buck. When a male goat is castrated, he is called a wether.



Our version of “kid” derives from the German “kinder” for child. Back in the day, calling a child a “kid” was considered vulgar! But, as time passed, the stigma passed.

You can always tell a child “I’m calling you a ‘kid’ because you’re acting like a baby goat.”

Baby goats being called a kid probably has no significance, like a young cow being a calf, horse a foal or a bear a cub.

There is a modern misconception that the name is derived or developed from the use of the same name, informally, for children.

Children being called kids, only came about in America in the 1800's, with some of the English speaking world adopting the use after the proliferation of American influence. Uptil today it is still considered informal and not used in formal writing (outside America).

Let Your Baby Fun to Naturelly

It doesn't take much to thrill a baby. And sometimes it's the "small stuff" that makes the biggest impression – a sunbeam shining on the rug, an empty cardboard box, or birds chattering away outside. And these simple thrills don't cost a dime.

In that spirit, here's a collection of five simple, cheap activities that are sure to be a bright spot in your baby's day – and yours!

 Sing songs with real or made-up words that rhyme, like "thump, thump, thump, bump, bump, bump, jump, jump, jump." You might feel a little silly, but all that rhyming is another way to boost your baby's language development. "Like touch, talking with your baby is like food for their bodies and their minds,"

Games that involve touch are useful for bonding with your baby and making them laugh. For example, you can play ‘steal your nose’ game. Pretend you have stolen your baby’s nose and show your thumb (as their nose) through your fingers. They are sure to laugh!


Human brains are wired to seek safety, and if a baby's brain doesn't feel safe, it can't learn. The love and cuddling you give your baby can help establish her sense of security. "From the time a child is born, that soft and loving voice, and soft touch speaks to children so much," Clinard says.

Photosynthesis: Travel Deep Inside a Leaf


Travel Deep Inside a Leaf 


Transcript of closed captions: 0:05: We are approaching a redwood tree. To animate a scientifically accurate leaf, artists studied the texture of a redwood leaf specimen on a glass slide at high resolution. They even counted the stomata, and used that exact count for this film!


0:25: These leaves would be measured on a centimeter scale. Throughout the animation, we will gradually zoom in to smaller scales. 0:40: As we approach a single stoma, we are now on a millimeter scale. 0:48: As we enter the interior of the leaf, we see many individual palisade cells. These cells are where photosynthesis takes place; they are translucent to allow sunlight to enter. 1:00: As we approach a single palisade cell, we’ll zoom down to the micrometer scale. The shapes inside the cell are organelles: the bright globules at the bottom are the Golgi apparatus; the yellow spotted tubes are endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes. 1:09: That large, blue membrane surrounds the nucleus; the purple blobs are mitochondria. 1:18: The faint, yellow, spider-web structure of the cytoskeleton provides structure and support to the cell. 1:24: You are about to enter a chloroplast; inside you see flat, pancake-like membranous structures called thylakoids. This is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place to produce ATP, the cell’s energy carrier molecule. way 1:38: The time scale has changed: the molecules are shown moving 1 million times slower than in real life! 1:42: As we near an individual thylakoid, the animation scale continues to shrink down to the molecular level, where things are measured in nanometers. 1:52: The green and blue bush-like structures are photosystems: clusters of proteins that absorb light energy from the sun and help convert it into the chemical energy that’s stored in the bonds of the energy carrier molecule called ATP.


2:03: The yellow-green, rotating structure is an enzyme called ATP synthase. It pumps protons from one side of the thylakoid membrane to the other, assembling ATP molecules in the process. 2:16: The pulses of light in the thylakoid membrane in which the photosystems are embedded represent energized electrons being passed from one photosystem to another, passing along the energy which will be stored in the bonds of ATP (the classic “bucket brigade”). 2:26: The small “wigglies” are ATP molecules. Living things store energy in the bonds of the ATP molecules and then use that energy to conduct all the processes of life. This animation is a model, and has its strengths and limitations. In order to model something well, visual artists have to make decisions about what to represent and how best to do so. What’s present in this model, and what’s intentionally missing or altered?

The first uploaded video on youtube 


This 18-second short video became the first-ever video that got uploaded to YouTube. The video was uploaded by the site's co-founder that awkward-looking young man talking about the elephant's "cool" trunks is Jawed Karim under his nickname 'jawed'. 



A simple as short as less than half minutes video titled “Me at the Zoo” was posted by YouTube co-founder Jawed Karin. The rest is internet history.

The idea was so successful the site was bought by Google for $1.65 billion just 19 months later.

First Uploaded Video

The first uploaded video on YouTube is titled "Me at the zoo" and was uploaded by Jawed Karim, one of the co-founders of YouTube, on April 23, 2005. The video is a short 18-second clip of Jawed Karim standing in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo, where he briefly talks about their trunks. It serves as a simple introduction to the platform and has become an iconic piece of YouTube's history. Since then, YouTube has grown into one of the largest video-sharing platforms in the world, hosting a wide variety of content from creators around the globe.

Me at the Zoo

"Me at the Zoo" is the title of the first uploaded video on YouTube, which was posted by Jawed Karim on April 23, 2005. The video is a short 18-second clip of Jawed Karim standing in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo. In the video, he briefly comments on their long trunks and expresses his fascination. This video holds historical significance as the inaugural upload on the YouTube platform, marking the beginning of a cultural phenomenon that has since transformed the way we share and consume online video content.

Jawed Karim

Jawed Karim is a German-American computer scientist and entrepreneur, best known as one of the co-founders of YouTube. He was born on October 28, 1979, in Merseburg, East Germany (now Germany). Karim moved to the United States with his family in the late 1990s. He studied computer science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he met his future YouTube co-founders, Chad Hurley, and Steve Chen.

Wikipedia said-
Jawed Karim is an American software engineer and Internet entrepreneur of Bangladeshi and German descent. He is a co-founder of YouTube and the first person to upload a video to the site. 

In 2005, Karim co-founded YouTube, a video-sharing platform that revolutionized online video content. He played a key role in designing and developing the website's early infrastructure. The first video uploaded to YouTube, "Me at the Zoo," was actually uploaded by Karim himself. Although he has not been as prominently involved with YouTube in recent years, his contributions to the platform's inception were instrumental in its success.

After YouTube's acquisition by Google in 2006, Karim received a significant financial windfall from the deal. He went on to pursue other entrepreneurial ventures and invest in technology startups. Karim co-founded Youniversity Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage investments in innovative companies. While he has generally maintained a low public profile, Jawed Karim's role in co-founding YouTube has left an indelible mark on the digital landscape and online video-sharing culture.
