Why These Three Countries Are On My List of Places To Visit

About two weeks ago, I played the Cashflow Classic game.  I've been reading Robert Kiyosaki's Retire Young Retire Rich book so I got acquainted to this online board game which is about getting out of the rat race by having passive income (the term used to making money work for the person) and increasing it,  thereby making the person reach the goal of having more passive income than expenses which will let the person out of the rat race.  The second stage after the rat race is "the fast track"  where the person's goal is to buy his/her dream by accumulating 50,000 USD per month cash flow. So this game taught me to having a mindset to increase my P/E ratio or the passive income to expenses ratio. Not only that, it also created a drive in me to reach my dream.  Yes, DREAM no S. Why?

 The Cashflow Classic game will let its player (or players) choose his/her dream.  I found out that in spite of my massive dreams to become rich, own houses, mansions, farms, lots, yacht, etc etc, I did not choose these. However, I chose the dream to take a visit to the most remote spots in Asia where no tourists have ever gone before.  So, this board game reunited me to the adventurer side of me and so here I am thinking of the most beautiful, enchanting places I want to go to not only of course in Asia but in other parts of the globe equivalent to the one the game is saying or those that will equally give me the satisfaction I might get in going to such beautiful places.

Well, these are the places added to my list and their beautiful features, all the reason why I wish to visit them.

Fishville

I went home to Northern Samar for Christmas Vacation and to spend the needed quality time with my son who is being taken cared of my parents and siblings there.  Sigh, this is my situation right now. My son in away from me but this is temporary, I promise. Anyway, I spent two weeks in Catarman and as usual we went to the White Beach a couple of times and enjoyed the cool sea breeze there.  My son and my niece really had fun playing on the sand. We saw some kids who were surfing the waves.  These were regular suki of the waves of the White Beach. The waves in this month and up to February are naturally big while in the summer it is almost serene specially in the mornings. Well, sometime during my by-far long vacation, we went to Fishville in the nearby town of Bobon, Northern Samar which I promised my sisters, the twins, so I could treat them there with their favorite food, the Spicy Chicken and Mango pizza and of course for a little fun trip with the f...

Icons and Heroes Defined

What does icon mean? The dictionary on my phone has five meanings of icon depending on the words' use.  Well here on my blog, an icon means none of that defined in my phone's dictionary and instead takes its modern definition from the wikipedia which says that an "icon" is  in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing. Ok, so it says symbol so I my dictionary had it right after all. What about heroes? Heroes is the plural form of hero. Kidding!  A hero or heroin for a female is again from my phone takes this meanings: Taking these meanings, icons and heroes are just synonymous with each other. Anyway...
