Last April 27, 2012 the Philippine Embassy of Jordan raised a fun and exciting outing in Aqaba public beach. Since I haven’t been in aqaba in my 2 years in this country, I already grab the opportunity. There is no certain activities just pure swimming, taking photos, picnic, shopping and just enjoying the fresh air away from the busy city of Amman.

The trip will only take 4 hours from the city of Amman. However our bus driver is the most slowest driver I have ever seen lol. We departed at 5am and arrived at 11am. It made us so bored and caused a lot of pain in the ass. But the beauty of scenery and big formation of stone attracted our attention and appreciate the beauty of God’s creation.

As soon as we arrived we’ve seen many people in the beach eating and swimming. It was so hot so we all jump in the water after a long travel. Since I’m also practicing my Photography *kuno* I take some of the pictures of my friends. Like I told you, if I’m not included in the picture that means I’m the Photographer. lol.

My first boating experience is awesome. I feel like I’m really turista. Sosyal. The boat has this small window or hole to see what’s down beneath the sea. All I can see are those cute starfish and corrals.

Pictorial is my favorite part. I love taking photos of other people and capturing happy moments.

After pampering ourselves in the beach. We go to the nearest market and find some cheap and beautiful comforter, towels, dress and many more.

The last part of the trip is stopover and enjoying kulitan times with my friends in the bus. Looks like I’m tired with all my pictures here.

Aqaba trip is a great experience and memories to bring along us. But rating Aqaba as 10 is the highest score. I will only give 5 star. Why? because Aqaba is nothing compared to our beach in the Philippines. Sounds like bias? but this is the truth. Aqaba is just like an ordinary beach of an ordinary beach in the Philippines. However I still appreciate the beauty of the sea and the experience of being in Aqaba. Enjoy watching our video while in the boat.

1. New Years Eve- A romantic comedy film featuring an ensemble cast. The plot is evolving around different characters having their own stories of their life, all just happen in 1 day before new year. A story about hope, love, chance and faith. The setting all took place in the most awaiting ball drop in New York. This movie is really touching and I even cry in the last part. I’m such a drama girl. lol. 6 stars for this movie..

2. Inception- I like the idea of getting into the subconscious mind of the target persons using the dream of a dream to extract valuable information. I never imagine that someone can make a movie with a very interesting work of mind. I even do play-pause-rewind during the entire movie time. I need to comprehend every single detail of the story because it is so confusing and need lot’s of analization. Leonardo di Caprio is still one of the my favorite actor even he is a bit old now. Recommended movie for all those who love sci-fi and psycho movies. 5 star for this movie.

3. Hugo- Best 3D film I ever saw so far. A story about a guy who struggle to know the unsaid message by his father who is known to be the clock master in paris sadly die in the museum. A left Automaton which he try to fix believing that it has the message for him. The automaton is a way to connect his life and find a new family under Georges Méliès a retired film maker which is in the end adopt him and treated Hugo as part of the family. The best thing about this film is the cinematography, sound effects and the 3D itself. 5 star for this movie.

4. Ang babae sa Septik tank (The woman in the Septic Tank)- A Filipino indifilm movie about three misguided newly graduates film maker. Believes that their movie project is an oscar winning if they could only show the side of poverty in the Philippines. Casting the comedy queen Eugene Domingo which they believe can portray the role effectively. Deliberating the scenario of the movie only leads them to the reality of their chosen subject. The film is very boring in the first encounter but through out the movie scene, you will see the determination of the Filipino’s to show the strive for hope, ambition and persevearance. Recommended for book report in Tagalog project. 5 star for this movie.

5. Shutter Island- As you can see this is another movie from Leonardo. I admit I’m such a fan of this guy. But don’t tell me you are not impress with all his movies. Most of them are box office isn’t it? Shutter Island is Psychological Thriller which my favorite genre when it comes to movie. This is about a guy name Teddy a US Marshall believes that shutter island have hidden mystery behind all those psychotic people living in the area. In the end, the movie revealed about Teddy as one of those psychotic people creating his own story in his multiple personality. Isn’t it intriguing? I so love psychotic film! 8 star for this movie!.

6. Titanic (3D)- Still my all time favorite is Titanic! It’s now on 3D. Can’t get enough of Jack and Rose romantic scene. The dramatic hands in the car, the bare naked rose and the flying scenario shouting “I’m the King of the world”. 10 star for this movie!
