Medina is very known for its beaches and warm welcomes. Its marvelous share of marine and aquatic wonders are its masterpieces.
It is about 1-2 hour bus ride from the city of Butuan or 2-3 hours bus ride from the city of Cagayan de Oro.
And there are great places you can stay at.
A perfect and nice place to be with the beach and marine life.

A trip to the zoo is not that bad at all because I like it the least. But with friends, it is an interesting visit.
One day, we did hit the road and drove to Al Ain! Where the Zootopia of UAE is. A very nice place for family and friends alike.
Please enjoy the video.

| Lava X8Q is only available in Black |
By the looks of Lava X8Q, it has a pretty decent style with polished glossy black front bezel and back with silver accent (front lower bezel and sides).
However build quality is not as premium as it looks. Well at least for a phone costing from 300 to 350 AED, its not bad at all. It is definitely not gorilla glass but instead an Asahi Dragontail glass which I personally don't know.
What bring this phone competitive with Lenovo's A6000 is its camera. With 5 Megapixels front, any regular person taking selfies will actually admire this candy-bar phone.
Its unique feature also is the magic gesture which can be toggled from the notification area by swiping from top left area of the screen downwards. This will open the gesture panel in which firstly you can setup your gesture to whatever actions on the list provided that you'd like to activate. Per experience, I suggest you do a simple one-stroke character so the phone will easily detect and would not cause any inconvenience to you.
Please do not expect too much on its 2500MAh of battery. Do mind how you use your phone. I've done a test run and for normal users it can have 5hours for standby plus 2 hours for whatsapp with facebook on a Wifi connection. But on a data connection, a consecutive facebook using will only be 1-2hours.
Configuration:
3G
Dual Sim (Micro)
8GB Internal Storage, expandable up to 32GB (with dedicated slot)
2500MAh Battery (non removable)
8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera
5'' IPS Screen
USB-OTG support
Comes with flip cover and plastic screen protector
My verdict.
This phone's quality is not in par with Samsung's entry level android phone, but if this sells only for 300AED then yes it is a good deal. Decent front camera.
Other models you should look out in this range: Lenovo A6000, Huawei Y6,

In today's age, we like to be immersed in whatever digital content we see in the internet.
In my case, I like to log myself in to Second Life.
Second Life is a product of Linden Labs, which allows users to create their personas or avatars and interact with each other in a virtual world. The good thing about this is that you can also create whatever things you like and maybe share or sell it to other avatars.
The virtual world is so massive that other people are making income out of it. Of course if you want to experience the best 3D add-ons you also need to spend a dime.
It is like having an alter ego online, you like to do some crazy things which you can't do in real life. Or just plain playing.
Party is always around and in every genre. Some in the beach, others in the sky boxes.
I had fun doing a tour in whatever place I can think of. Such as the world of Pandora from the movie 'Avatar' by James Cameron. It was funny observing that within an avatar is another avatar trying to do a roleplay. Most of the time, I just troll around and ask random questions.
In my 6 years of avatar existence, I have enjoyed the idea that a lot can be done in a virtual world.

Good news for Android Users! I just recently discovered this application called Opera Max.
I've known Opera as a browser and it does compress images on any website so it is faster and loads quickly. But since internet speeds has improved over the years, we sometimes disregard adding more tools for quick website loading time.
Now, we have improved mobile data, but there is a catch, A limited data plan. So, when I tried to search online for some solution to extend more of my data plan, I found this Opera Max. Its description fit to my requirement so I installed it and used it. It compresses your internet consumption so it will give you more spare MBs.
Additional feature that I also found is that it also works like a VPN, because it connects to its own server. I don't know how it does, but it allowed me to use Messenger Video Call which is banned here in the UAE.
And the best part is, Opera Max is for free. Now, I just have to use it for some time and get back to this post for a review.

So me and my friends decided to spend our day-off at the Global Village here in Dubai. From our place, it is kind of far and public transportation is somewhat limited.
 |
| Global Village Entranced with a very nice Cultural Structure, Entrance fee at 15AED |
It was during the afternoon when we got there. There were very nice small copies of famous landmark from almost all over the world.
 |
| The famous big ben alongside Rome's the Colosseum |
 |
| The Statue of Liberty on top of a Cafe |
Each country has their own pavilion, and the entrance are made in accordance to their country's architectural origins. Inside are small shops selling different delicacy, garments, and souvenirs that most originated from whatever country pavilion they're in.

| This is Indonesia |
 |
| Kremlin? |
 |
| Africa |
 |
| Japan and Thailand |
 |
| Thailand |
 |
| Germany, France is facing the other side thus the Eiffel Tower |
 |
| Spain, I guess because their early civilization used to travel and colonize |
 |
| Mabuhay Philippines!! |
 |
| Lebanon |
 |
| India |
 |
| Egypt |
 |
| A Moroccan delight! |
 |
| Iran |
 |
| Yemen |
 |
| United Arab Emirates |
There are also other attractions such as different rides for kids and adults. A beautiful way to see the whole Global Village is riding the big ferris wheel. Some are very scary but looks interesting at the same time, such as the bungee sling (not its official name).
Food is not a problem since around the place you'll find different kinds of it. From popcorn to kebabs, you'll find plenty to choose from.
This reminds me of Kasadya sa SRP back in the Philippines.

What a great way to start the new year with Dubai Shopping Festival 2016. May it be in Electronics, Fashion, or Jewelry, people are going to be hyped with dropping prices and exciting offers.
During my two weeks experience as a salesperson in mobile phones, people are crowding in to check on their particulars and see whether it has gone down or has better offerings from other shop then they make a purchase. It is usually jam packed on weekends and lesser on weekdays, also considering that everyday is not payday. But still, the amount of business generated through this festival helps inclination in sales.
Compared to the country I'm from, this festival is really giving off good discounts and offerings. Because, back there, I don't really see price drop and good offers, only old stocks and some non-moving products.
DSF will end on 1st of February. At the time of writing, we still have 2 more weeks to indulge the wonders of shopping.
