The nominees for this year's 42nd Saturn Awards were announced last February 24, 2016. I was surprised that The Peanuts Movie is competing with films-based-on-comics films: Ant-Man; Attack on Titan; Avengers: Age of Ultron; Kingsman: The Secret Service on the Best Comic-to-Film Motion Picture category. I also surprised that the Japanese film Attack on Titan is also competing on the aforementioned category.

We ate our breakfast at the restaurant of the hotel. We order Filipino breakfast consists of pineapple slices, rice, coffee, beef tapa for me, longganisa for my aunt, and danggit for my mother. I forgot the rest.
After we ate our breakfast, naligo kami sa pool ng nasabing hotel. At that time, may ilang coaches na nagtuturo ng swimming lessons sa mag bata.
After naligo sa pool ay nagbanlaw kami. Pagkatapos namin sa check-out, ay nagpunta kami sa restaurant para umiwom ng pineapple shake/juice. If my memory serves me right, 150 pesos ang total, lumalabas na 50 pesos per order.
Sumakay ng isang vang Duptours papuntang Tacloban. Pagdating namin sa pisang bakery, smiling kami kasi umuulan ng oras na yun. Dahil may payong ang tita, ay pumunta sa taxi terminal sa isang lugar sa Robinsons Place Tacloban.
That evening, we ate our dinner at Ocho Seafood & Grill. After that we had our after-dinner dinner at Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano.

The four of us offered some prayers to my maternal grandparents. After that, we went to Agta Beach, nag-brunch kami, tapos nagligo sa beach, nagbanlaw, at nagempake ng gamit.
Pumunta kami sa isang terminal ng Crosswind/s, nasa 700 ang bayad para sa isäng regular na pasahero. Yung sang sang van na terminal ay Duptours. Yung pinsan kong lalaki ay bumble ng Tacloban, samantalang kami ng tita ko at nanay ko ay pumunta ng Sabin Resort Hotel sa Ormoc. Before we going to the aforementioned hotel, we ate our "early dinner" at a branch of Jollibee. My mother and my aunt ate Burger Steak while I ate Big Burger Steak. I asked my mother na bumili ng large fries for takeout. And then, we rode a tricycle to Sabin Hotel. Of course, nag-check in kami.
Lumaki yung mismong pool ng Sabin Hotel, nagdagdag sila ng rooms. Around late afternoon to early evening, inikot ko ang pool. Napansin ko na wala yung upuan na gawa sa kahoy. At that time, may kainan na nagaganap. And the same time may mga coaches na na nagtuturo ng swimming lessons sa mga bata. And I went to our room.
After a few minutes, kinulit ng nanay ko yung tita ko, na ikutin yung pool, pinuntahan din namin yung katabing restaurant nila, at yung dalawang area na tapat ng swimming pool at nung restaurant nila. Bumalik din kami sa hotel room namin. Pagkabalik sa kwarto namin, nanood ng TV, at ilang minuto ay natulog na kami.

Most of the day, me and my relatives are just in the house of my aunt.

Tacloban Vacation 2016, Day 1
I woke up around 6 AM. I don't remember much during that morning. I only remember these:
Eating breakfast with my parents;
Napa-load akin ng 100 pesos;
Did fix some things to bring;
Said goodbye to my 2 (two) nephews
When my sister-in-law bring out her younger son, his facial expression was like between sad and confused.
I remember na human kami via some roads in City of Manila.
When we arrived at NAIA 3, we checked in the counter for senior citizens, PWDs, etc. of Philippine Airlines (PAL).
My mother and I are original going to eat at Jollibee, but we went to Wendy's, and ended eating at Seattle's Best Coffee.
Our flight is at 12:55 PM. but because of open skies, our departure became 2 PM, and we arrived at 3 PM. I don't remember what we ate during our snack. My mother and my aunt had their pedicure and manicure, and we had our palengke shopping.
I don't remember much that evening except focusing my niece's Wi-Fi and TV watching.
The signal of the Wi-Fi of Globe's Tattoo is weak at my aunt's house.

“Live with the King”
I haven't tried any phones made by Huawei. My older brother has a Google Nexus made by Huawei. I'm just not sure about that particular model.
What I like the model Huawei Nexus 6P
Low-light loving, powerful camera
I have pictures using my old phones. But unfortunetely, some of the photos are not clear. But the photos using Huawei Nexus 6P's features 12.3MP camera, and 1.55µm pixels, it has clear and better pictures.
Front-facing speakers = clear sounds
Some phones with front-facing speakers aren't clear. As the statement suggests Huawei Nexus 6P's front-facing speakers has clear sounds.
Fast charging due to its USB Type C charging port
Some models takes time up to charge up to 100%, especially there are people who are (always) on the go. What I like this feature is that it can charge faster.
Ergonomic fingerprint ID
Another feature that I like is Ergonomic fingerprint ID. If the phone is lost or stolen, it contains only your fingerprint.
The best of Google in the palm of your hand (Search, Maps, Play, YouTube, GMail, etc.)
And of course, it cannot complete an Android phone with other Google products.
