Google-licious

What are the uses of Google for you?

Search Engine? Ad Sense? Chat?

Being into online world for years now and having my job through the internet, yes, google has been part of my daily activities. and I love Google ^_^

Over the years, Google remain on the top page and contain the most valuable application today.

Being in the internet marketing world, I should know the values of the Google as an important factor in Internet Marketing. All web pages, sites, keyword research, page crawls are now based on google page rank and people into Internet Marketing are dying to get to the highest page ranks.


My Favorite

I haven't learn much of all the Google application but one of the Google Apps I like is the Google Docs. As you can see, Google Documents enable users to use documents online. It synchronizes the documents in real time and it will allow you to put the documents in public or private and allow you to add people in it. This is the fastest way to modify documents online with collaboration of several users. This is the most important factor why this Google Apps is so important of Internet Marketing.

What's new?

The Google+ app. Yes, Google unveils new social networking site at making social sharing and is said to encompassed the popularity of the leading social networking site today, Facebook.com. With almost 10 million unique visitors of Google+ and increasing, Google+ seems to be dominating the social networking world.

"This is amazing growth even for a giant such as Google: We cannot remember any social network reaching so many members so quickly after its release."

"Early reviews also suggest that the 'hangout' and 'huddle' elements of Google+, which enable video and mobile chat, could be aimed at challenging Skype". 

What more you can ask for a social networking site? Circles. Enable you to add friend in a certain circle(group) you want. Huddle. Enable you to connect video and chat service through phones/online.
What more you can ask for?

serious much??

Right after the rides, we were given snacks and lunch. The snacks were given at the resort's cafeteria and the lunch was at the Restaurant. Unluckily, we hadn't have our lunch inside the restaurant coz we were catching up our white water rafting schedule back in CdeO.

We were strolling the nearby adventure resort which they offer several adventure activities like zorb, atv racing, horse back riding, etc. Unfortunately, we got no time for all of these and we headed directly to CDO for the next adventure - white water rafting.

By 12 Noon, we arrived at the resort and have our lunch then. We were given instructions on how to use the paddle and its different strokes. By following such instructions, we, the guests should abide the rules to avoid accidents and just enjoy the fun. By 1:00 PM We headed to the jumpoff area which is 30 minutes away from the resort.

Getting Ready for the rapids...

The jumpoff area: Cute cute namin  tense na pala :)

The jumpoff is right below the bridge.. This river is actually the boundary between Cagayan de Oro and Bukidnon. There are two courses in white water rafting - Beginner's course with 14 major rapids and Advanced course with 21 major rapids. We chose the advanced course and we intend to break the record of 7 flips.

Following are some cool pictures we had.

The Two groups

My friends and I were divided into 2 groups. The yellow raft is for advanced course and is expected to be tossed and flipped more than the blue raft since it is much bigger than the yellow.

Table top: The blue team

Maligo sa :) 

We conquered table top

The blue team's flips... Maribel was wiped out

Nasaan kami? lol

Pasensya na.. na tense ako =/

Hahaha :p

 By 5:00 PM we finished the 21 rapids with 7 flips. woot! we didnt break the current record but it was all fun! Worth it! We all agreed that the rafting was the funniest and most memorable part of the trip. Next time water tubing :)

Kamras 4 - Mt. Hibok Hibok, Mt. Timpoong, Camiguin

Kamras is a yearly event hosted by Tinago Mountaineers from Iligan City. Luckily, I was invited to join and the trip was one of my most memorable climb ever! Tinago Mountaineers is not really a group of Mountaineer but they act as a family. I so love them :)

Moving on One of the attraction of Camiguin island is Climbing. While on way back to socials at Ardent hotspring, there are several foreigners who prefer to go climbing than do island hopping. And there are a lot of tour guides from the local who offer such services.

Moving on, Camiguin Island can be reached by bus from Cagayan de Oro City. There are several bus going to Balingoan Terminal from Agora Terminal, Cagayan de Oro City. From Balingoan Terminal, it is only a walking distance to port. There are several barges and ferries going to Camiguin island. For more or less and hour ride of ferry going to Camiguin Island.

Mt. Timpoong.

It is a very wet raiforest. There is no scene awaits you at the peak of the mountain but the challenging trails are the only experience Mt. Timpoong awaits you, aside of course from its forest beauty and the fog. :) chillin

Some snapshots during the climb;

Did I say.. umupo ako sa lumot sa itaas yan ng kahoy! scary

no choice but to cross the swamp. Good luck for the leeches >.<

Mt. Hibok Hibok

Mt. Hibok hibok is an active volcano and mountaineers usually went to Camiguin to climb Mt. Hibok hibok and stay for a night at the crater beside the lake. The beauty at the crater is so splendid! No cameras can catch its breathtaking scene. Not even a DSLR nor an  HD video can capture its beauty. Best Mountain I climb so far!

The lake.. I am proud I crossed the lake with bing. whew!

Going to the peak that you need to climb through the boulders

The Souvenir Shirt 

The girls decided to Climb for Mt. Lumot. Mt. Lumot was famous because of the crash site of Cebu Pacific's Crash Site.

The Famous Shrine

The shrine was built for the tribute of the Flight 387 and every year, people visited the shrine to give there prayers.

Shrine

We were so excited for the climb and the group prepared everything to have the most memorable climb ever. But unluckily, we didn't get to summit and visit the crash site since we got lost at the beginning. LOL Lesson Learn. Always look for trail signs. And the host should do trail blazing before the date of the climb for the newbies :D

Lumot (moss/algae) are scattered around. Mt. Lumot
The Mountain is a protected rain forest.

Going Back to the Shrine

And because we didn't get to the peak, we instead went to the nearby waterfall.

Its refreshing to have this sort of climbs and falls hopping as side trip.

Preparing to go back home. Tired but with big smiles :)
