The mighty Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is the name for three waterfalls bridging Canada and the USA – Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.
They drain the water of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and have a vertical water drop of 165 feet and the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.
If you’re planning a visit, make sure you go to the Canadian side as the view is so much better and you can walk alongside the water. The American side is quite restrictive as the main view is from a long man made platform.
Being one of the world’s seven natural wonders, the falls are really breathtaking to watch so make sure you plan in time to stand back away from the crowds and take in the scale and power of the water.
Whilst there, you can do several excursions – I’d highly recommend the tour ‘journey behind the falls’ and a ride on the Maiden of the Mist.
Journey Behind the Falls
Give yourself around an hour to do this one – it’s not that long but you will want to take some time just to stand on the viewing platform and be sprayed by the power of the water!
The trip consists of a lift down and a short tour of the Falls construction. Then, you go off by yourself to walk behind the water, through tunnels and to the platform.
Tickets are around £14 – make sure you go spring to autumn as the tour closes in winter.
Maiden of the Mist
This trip was incredible! You are given a poncho to keep you as dry as possible then board the two tier boat and head towards the main flow of water. It’s only when you’re directly underneath the water that you can appreciate the true power and scale of it.
make sure you stand on the right-hand-side of the boat as it’s the best view there and back! Tickets cost around £7 and the trip lasts around 10/15 minutes.
Ice wine
Niagara is also famous for its production of ice wine – a very sweet, thick dessert wine that involves the grapes being frozen whilst still on the vine.
Personally, I wasn’t a fan as it was incredibly sweet but while in the area, you should definitely give it a try!
Tips
- The food choices aren’t amazing so take a packed lunch or be prepared to eat hot dogs and chips
- Get there early to enjoy a slightly less crowded view
- Go on the 5th November so you can see the giant firework display

AA Reit's Q4 DPU falls 5.8% to 2.78 cents
(Source: www.businesstimes.com.sg)
AIMS AMP Capital Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust (AA Reit) registered a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.78 Singapore cents in its fourth financial quarter, 5.8 per cent lower compared to the corresponding quarter a year ago
AIMS AMP Capital Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust (AA Reit) registered a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.78 Singapore cents in its fourth financial quarter, 5.8 per cent lower compared to the corresponding quarter a year ago.
Full-year DPU came in at 11.05 Singapore cents, a decline of 2.6 per cent from FY2016.
For the three months ended March 31, gross revenue crept up 1.1 per cent to S$30.6 million year-on-year, mainly due to the maiden contribution from the newly completed property at 30 Tuas West Road and higher rental contributions from the property at 27 Penjuru Lane.
This was partially offset by lower rental and recoveries from 20 Gul Way as two phases of the property reverted to multi-tenancy leases on Dec 28, 2016, and Feb 13, 2017.
Market voices on:
This brings its full-year gross revenue to S$120.1 million, a dip of 3.4 per cent from the previous year.
Net asset value stood at S$1.3896 as at March 31, 2017, from S$1.4777 in the same period a year ago.
Diluted earnings per unit for the group came in at negative 6.13 Singapore cents in Q4 FY2017, worse than the negative 1.37 Singapore cents in the corresponding period a year ago.
Full-year earnings per unit for the group was 2.12 Singapore cents, compared to 6.44 Singapore cents for FY2016.

What happens when your foot falls asleep
(Source: www.businessinsider.sg)
You’ve had your foot bent in an awkward position for a long time, and now it feels kind of numb, making it difficult to stand up. When this happens, we often say our foot is asleep.
That loss of feeling, also common in the legs and arms, is caused by the “temporary compression of nerves,” says Rebecca Traub, an assistant professor of neurology at UNC School of Medicine. When the nerve is pinched, it doesn’t communicate signals to the spine and brain correctly.
Nerves carry electrical signals like water through a hose, says Steven Vernino, a professor of neurology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The signals are transmitted to the brain from a specific part of the body where they are recognised and a message is sent back down. For example, if you touch a hot stove, the nerves in your hand will fire a signal to the brain where it’s interpreted as pain, causing you to pull your hand back.
The same way that water gets stuck when you twist a hose, motor signals in your nerves can’t move if your legs are crossed or your wrist is bent. (In your wrist, a constant numbness or weakness is known as carpal tunnel syndrome.)
“One common nerve in the leg that is compressed is the fibular nerve,” Traub wrote in an email, “which travels around the side of the knee and often gets pinched when people sit with their legs crossed for a prolonged period.”
It’s a common misconception that the numb sensation is caused by a lack of blood supply, says Traub. It is possible to cut off blood flow to the limb, but that’s rare, adds Vernino.
The tingling or “pins and needles” feeling that people experience happens as the nerves are regaining function. Your foot or limbs are “waking up.” In medical terms, this is known as paresthesia. The discomfort, which is sometimes painful, generally causes you to change your position.
Most people can move around and relieve the pressure on their nerves. But if “someone is not able to move or sedated they can have permanent nerve injury from this type of compression,” says Traub.

Japfa's Q1 profit falls
(Source: www.businesstimes.com.sg)
AGRI-FOOD company Japfa reported a 91 per cent drop in net profit to US$2.08 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, due to a lower price environment for its key markets.
This was despite a 3 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue to US$736.12 million.
The group’s profitability was mainly impacted by the significantly lower selling prices for swine in Vietnam which started declining in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to China’s import restrictions, it highlighted. In addition, Indonesia witnessed weaker broiler selling prices in Q1 2017 due to a lower-than-expected poultry demand.
Earnings per share fell to 0.12 US cent, from 1.33 US cents a year ago.

Amazing Niagara Falls
Hiya all, so now I’m in Seattle, Washington, having great times with my friend Rebecca. While she’s at work I basically explore the city and so many charming cafes by myself. It’s been such a great experience right here. Well right now I’m gonna try to throwback to the great memories from the Niagara Falls in Canada. I went there 2 weeks ago actually what brought me to Toronto was the beautiful and incredible falls.
Visit Niagara Falls!
The most interesting fact about the Falls is that it could be seen both in Canadian side and US side, as I was in the red part (Canada) I was able to see more of the falls. I took a greyhound from Toronto to the falls and it only took 2 hours or 2 hours and half which is basically nothing considering the size of Canada. As soon as I arrived I got a transportation card which can be used all day long, it costs only 6$ and people usually use it for heading to the falls and coming back to the station unless they stay in some hotels nearby the falls.
If you take the bus and wait for 3 minutes you will be able to see this incredible view. I’m in general not amazed by landscapes so easily but Niagara Falls is definitely exceptional. There’s a boat trip and I actually recommend everyone visiting the Falls to take it, even though it’s a bit costly (25.95$). You could book your ticket on your phone which makes your life a lot easier, otherwise you gotta wait a lot. More info here
Looks like red zombies waiting for their food, but no! If you take the boat in the American side, it’s gonna be blue. What do you like more?
I’m probably the worst selfie taker in the whole world.
People repeating “Oh my god! look at that.”. Well yeah, it’s amazing.
When you get off from the boat you will definitely see yourself wet. But nothing too serious to be worried about. What I can tell you is that don’t avoid the water, just enjoy every single second. Niagara Falls is not what you see every day :)
Bad hair, bad pose but I don’t mind.
The timing couldn’t be better. The rainbow suddenly came out and people started to take pictures of the view. See? It’s always better going to the Falls when it’s a sunny day. So, avoid winter season, it’s gonna be freezing! :O Canadian winter is very well known for its intense cold.
I generally am not into sweets so much but from time to time I get desperate and seek for some sweet ice creams, it all depends what mood I’m in.
So to conclude, I stayed in the Niagara area for more or less 5-6 hours, some people could say it’s not enough but It definitely was to me. Obviously it would have been much more comfortable and nicer if I had stayed at a luxury hotel, however you know, I couldn’t afford it. If you are as laid-back as me and don’t like to rush but still a fast runner, 5 hours could be the best shot for you. Just so you know!
Dang, come to think of it, it also was on my bucket list and now I could draw a line and create a new one to add onto my bucket list :) If somebody asks me how my day went, I’d probably call it “A lifetime experience.” I mean, see the picture above? You definitely gotta see them in person. Just amazing, not describable!
All the love,
Felix

Q1 employment falls by 8,500; jobless rate rises to 2.3%: MOM
(Source: www.businesstimes.com.sg)
Despite the decline in total employment, fewer workers were axed as the number of layoffs in the first quarter (4,800) was lower than in the fourth quarter of 2016 (5,440).
Singapore
SINGAPORE notched in the first quarter its biggest net job loss since the Sars-hit second quarter of 2003 – due mainly to a fall in work permit holders in the manufacturing and construction sectors, preliminary figures released on Friday by the Ministry of Manpower showed.
While the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for residents (Singaporeans and permanent residents) was flat at 3.2 per cent, the overall jobless rate defied market expectations – private-sector economists had expected no change – to creep up from 2.2 per cent in December 2016 to 2.3 per cent in March this year.
OCBC Bank chief economist Selena Ling noted that the latest jobless rate is the highest since the fourth quarter of the 2009 recession year, though it was still below the 3.3 per cent peak seen in the third quarter of 2009.
Market voices on:
The ministry noted in its Labour Market Advance Release First Quarter 2017 report that the jobless rate had climbed in recent quarters, but it also indicated that the rate remained below the 2009-high (overall: 3.3 per cent; resident: 4.9 per cent; citizen: 4.9 per cent).
But Minister for Manpower Lim Swee Say, in his May Day message issued also on Friday, noted that unemployment rose last year and said that it could continue to rise as the economy restructures.
Others were more upbeat. “This may not necessarily be the bottom of the labour market,” said Femke Hellemons, country manager of recruitment firm Adecco Personnel (Singapore), “but we are optimistic because we have seen improving overall trade conditions of the economy, upward revisions in GDP growth forecast as well as more workforce requests from our clients.”
Added Ms Ling: “The labour market outlook is likely to remain uneven across sectors and industries, but we tip (that) the overall unemployment rate should start to stabilise around the 2.5 per cent region later this year.”
The ministry’s report said that an estimated 74,400 residents, including 67,100 Singaporeans, were jobless, broadly similar to the number in December 2016.
Despite the decline in total employment, fewer workers were axed as the number of layoffs in the first quarter (4,800) was lower than in the fourth quarter of 2016 (5,440), though it was similar to the number a year ago (4,710). Redundancies fell in manufacturing but continued to jump in construction and services, which accounted for the bulk (63 per cent) of the layoffs.
Overall employment in the first quarter sank by 8,500 after growth of 2,300 in the previous quarter and 13,000 in the same quarter a year ago. The biggest drop (-12,900) was in the construction sector, where employment fell for a third straight quarter.
Employment in manufacturing slipped by 4,400 in the first quarter, its tenth consecutive quarterly decline. Ms Ling said that the attrition of jobs in manufacturing added up to 43,300 since the fourth quarter of 2014 – and manufacturing’s share of total employment has fallen from 15.1 per cent to 13.5 per cent.
Services employment continued to increase (8,700) in the first quarter, but the rise was smaller than in the same quarter of 2016 (13,200).

Majestic falls: Cambugahay Falls
Siquijor is known for its mystic and mystery, an island province situated in the Central Visayas region. Used to be known as Isla del Fuegu (Island of Fire), it is said that the island province is shrouded with mysticism and tranquility. The island is also infamous for its very rich natural beauty which includes many pristine beaches and jaw-dropping landscape.
Cambugahay Falls is just one of the many tourist attractions in Siquijor. It is one of the many precious waterfalls in the Philippines wherein a great deal of tourist enjoys its fascinating ambience. Even locals within the island enjoy spending their time in the mystical waterfall together with their families.
The waterfall consists of multi-layered cascading falls with crisp and clean warm water originating from natural springs, rain water and water sheds. Water from the Cambugahay Falls flows down about three kilometers downstream making numerous wonderful swimming lagoons before it discharges into the Lazi Bay.
Visitors will surely love dipping in the water; the splashing sound that comes from the falls will relax them and the clear water will surely make them swim. Tourists can also climb up on the top of the waterfall and they will discover other smaller waterfalls on it, which is perfect for kids because of the shallower water there.
The Cambugahay Falls is situated just two kilometers outside the town of Lazi. If you want to have a peaceful ambiance there are two more falls located above in where you can also swim. In the 3rd tier you can swing like Tarzan and fall on the clear water in the falls.
How to Get There?
Since Cambaguhay Falls is situated in Siquijor, you need to go on the island-province first. There are no direct flights from Manila to Siquijor so you should take a flight going to Dumaguete City and take a fast craft there going to Siquijor. From Siquijor, you can take a ride going to Lazi and from there tourists can easily go to Cambaguhay Falls. You can just hire a motorcycle to drop you off at the place.
Upon reaching the destination, you will need to walk down the one hundred thirty five stone steps after paying the parking cost of P10 to P20.
Pack your things now and visit this beautiful falls! Don’t forget to do the “touchdown-pose”! See you!

Flood falls and pounds on those who resist
Flood falls and pounds on those who resist, but the water with all its power fills and humbles to the smallest because of the smallest making the greater even greater. In the same manner, when one humbles to the heavens as more or for more thus the heavens will reward one because of one presenting the heavens as more or for more.

Heading to Elyu this summer? Here's What You Need To Know
La Union boasts of glassy waves, big enough for even beginners to start. Being just 6 hours away from Manila, many people flock to the North’s surfing capital – San Juan, La Union. Deciding on heading up? Here’s what you need to know:
- Best Season – according to Echo, my surf instructor from ELYU Classic, the best time to visit Elyu is during the North swell season. That is from October to April. The waves are expectedly bigger and consistent than seasons after or before that. It is suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced level surfers.
- Food, Water & Sanitation – Although many bars and restaurants are open there, Elyu mostly has small eateries or carinderias where they serve home-cooked local food. If you are on a tight budget, eating at carinderias are the most practical thing to do. They serve both service and bottled water everywhere, although I suggest if you have a sensitive stomach, choose to buy bottled water instead. When I was up there November, last year, I chose to drink service water all the time, which slightly upset my stomach right after. I assume that this is because their service water comes from tap or from the faucet. Bringing your own water is handy too.
- ̆Surf Board rentals – if you plan to go without your own surfboard, fear not! For San Juan is filled with a lot of instructors and rentals. They all have a standard surf rental fee of Php 200/hr, Php 500/half day & Php 800/whole day. Even if you try to go to the farthest rental there is, they will provide you with the same amount.
![IMG_0423]()
This is me learning to surf!
If you are a beginner, surf rentals + tutorials are available for you! If you are charming enough to haggle, some instructors can give you a lower tutorial rate with the same rental value. Try looking for Echo or Chris from ELYU Classic. They are well experienced and friendly enough to make your learning to surf fun. They can also accompany you to bars like Flotsam Jetsam for booze at night with mats on the floor and candles. If you’re lucky, there could be a movie screening outdoors too!
- Nightlife – although not as extravagant as those in Boracay, several bars with live music are located in Elyu. Try Flotsam Jetsam, Isla Bonita or Surf Shack.
- Where to Stay – Elyu provides different places to stay from budgeted hostels to beach resorts. If you plan to go alone or with friends, The Circle Hostel is a pretty (and real cheap!) place to stay at. I was able to get a bunkbed (no private rooms here!) for only Php 1,100 for a 3 day/2 night accommodation.
![IMG_0409]()
The stairway to my bunk at Circle Hostel
I didn’t really mind not having my private room or toilet as I was out most of the time and only needed a place to crash at night. What’s really good about staying at this hostel is that they were able to live by their mission, “There are no strangers here.” You also aren’t provided with your own socket. The charging area is located in the common area where travelers are meant to mingle. True enough, I was able to make friends right away as soon as the bright morning came. (I arrived at 5 am, it was still pitch black). The downside of the Circle Hostel though was that you had to cross a road to get to the beach, meaning it itsn’t beach front but it shouldn’t be much of a problem since it’s only a two-minute walk from there. The place is decorated by various paintings of art and mostly quotes written by past travelers who stayed there. You can leave your own marks behind too. Cans of paint and brushes are found near the lockers. Let the art flow! If you’re looking for a relatively cheap place with your own room and toilet, Flotsam Jetsam is a good pick. They have their own bar and beach front. Feel free to research first on tripadvisor or agoda and read the reviews first before booking!
- Where to Eat – As mentioned earlier, Elyu is filled with different kinds of places to eat, from authentic Greek restaurants to simple carinderias. Although I wasn’t exactly satisfied by the food there, you may explore on your own. If do want to try a restaurant there, I highly recommend Gefseis Greek Grill.
![IMG_0414]()
Gefseis Greek Grill, beachfront
It is an authentic Greek restaurant with really satisfying food. I recommend you order moussaka paired with a banana yogurt milkshake! For cheaper eats, you can try Tagpuan!
![IMG_0419]()
Tapsilog & Sprite at Tagpuan
- What to do – Elyu is not only a place to bum in the sun or go surfing. Several activities can be done there as well including trekking and cliff diving at Tangadan falls, visit to Ma Cho Temple and Basilica Minore of our Lady of Charity. Research on what more to do especially if you’re only staying overnight to maximize your travel.
- and last but not the least: Where to drink COFFEE – to me, traveling is not enough without trying out coffee.
![IMG_0413]()
El Union menu
A coffeeplace called El Union Coffee is a must-try! They serve several handcrafted beverages, but not like your typical starbs. The interior is designed with that cozy indie vibe that will make you want to stay longer and meet new people. They serve you handbrewed coffee, special lattè art cappucinos or you can also try their horchatas. If you feel like eating, they serve oh-so-good s’mores and caserole chocolate chip cookies! Try looking for Chloe! He won’t disappoint you.
All those listed above serve only as a basic guide and suggestion on your travel to Elyu. These are only things I actually went to or did, try to befriend the locals and who knows what they can show you!
What started as a plan for four ended up as a solo travel. The first semester of school was nearly ending and so was my contract at work (I was a working student at the time.) Despite the cancellation of the other three, I decided to push through anyway. After saving my last salary, and saving a little more on my own, I booked a hostel recommended by a friend who moved there. Once that was done, it was bulletproof and I went. Here’s a suggested itinerary and budgeting of my whole 3D2N trip in Elyu:
How to get to La Union:
La Union is usually a 6 or 7 hour drive from Metro Manila. There are two terminals to get a ride depending on your location. If you’re from the South, then head to PARTAS Pasay and if you’re from the North, PARTAS Cubao is where to go.
Partas Transportation – Cubao
816 Aurora Boulevard, Cubao, Quezon City
Partas Transportation – Pasay
Tramo corner Edang St., San Roque, Pasay City
Just buy a ticket that heads to Vigan/Laoag and ask the conductor to drop you off in San Juan. Normal priced tickets are at around Php 440 but I went there last November and they honored my student ID. I was able to get a Php 100+ discount You can try to present one too, though I doubt they would honor it since it’s a summer.
Day 01 – SURFING

I did not include Ma Cho Temple in the itinerary as I wasn’t able to visit it. Feel free to tweak the itinerary above, after all, it is only a suggestion.
Budget Breakdown/head
Transportation – Php 1,000
Accomodation – Php 1,100 (one bunk bed)
Surfing – Php 1,500
Food – Php 1,500
Socials – Php 1,500 (optional)
Allowance – Php 1,000
Total: Php 6,100 (excluding socials)
Tips:
- Bringing a group or a friend with you can lower your costs!
- Wear tight swimming trunks when surfing because swimming undies can be removed as you surf.
- Wear trekking sandals in case you want to go trekking, especially in Tangadan. There are a lot of slippery stones and you will encounter streams you need to cross to get to the falls. I do not recommend rubber shoes or flipflops (I was in flipflops!) as they can get really heavy or slippery.
- Bring your sunblock!
- If you do plan to stay at Circle Hostel, be wary of insects that crawl all over. Although you will have a net or kulambo over your bunk bed, they still crawl elsewhere.
- If the hostel says don’t leave food in the room, don’t leave food in the room! I accidentally left my kakanin on my bed and not more than 10 minutes after, my bed was swarming with ants! It is very important to obey the rules of the place where you stay.
- ALWAYS be courteous and considerate to everyone around you. If it is past 10 pm, die down your volume (whether voice or music), as others may already be sleeping.
- Do not be afraid to explore what is out there. There is so much to discover. You just need to look closer.
- As much as possible, disconnect from social media. I get it that you want the world to know where you are or what you are doing, but flaunting tends to take the essence out of traveling. Take pictures of things you want to remember, but keep it away for a while. You’ll be surprised by what you’ll observe by being actually in the moment rather than anticipating your next liker on instagram.
