Way home now after our company’s one and a half-day kick-off meeting in a retreat house in Tagaytay City.  I was in a car with Joel, Mark, Faith, and Michael. Among the five of us, Michael was the lucky employee who won an award in our annual awarding ceremony highlighted the other night. Since it has a cash prize, we sweetly coerced him for a treat in Mushroomburger Restaurant which was located in Barangay Kaybagal a few distances away from where we’ve been. Continue reading →

I’ve heard DJC Halo Halo and Snack Inn in Tiwi, Albay from my mother and friends who had tasted their creamy halo halo with their comment, superb! For our 2014 summer vacation in my hometown, I vowed myself dropping by here with my family. Aside from pili, pinangat, and chilly ice cream, Bicol has this cheesy halo halo that will complete your Albay getaway.

It’s Chinese New Year today and since it is a holiday, we will head off to Sta. Mesa, Manila to buy an electric acoustic guitar for our son Paolo.

My excitement in our snorkeling today in Giant Clam Sanctuary at 9 a.m. woke me up so early.  I rushed into the window and hailed the curtain. Oh my, it was gloomy!  But rain or shine, we got out from Captain Hook’s Red Parrot Inn and started the day taking a morning walk in a nearby Kaputian Beach Resort to see the humble community of Kaputian.

Once a year, it is a must for employees (like me) to get out of the four-corner room and have fun in outdoor activities. One of the best activities to indulge in is team-building.  This motivates everyone to interact, communicate and give their best in every challenge to be done. I was thankful that the company chose Camp Tipolo Adventureland because it was teeming with exciting outdoor games and is surrounded by verdant landscape and tranquil surroundings.

The nestled lagoon in the middle of an island, a natural sanctuary for giant seafaring turtles, fills with saltwater during high tide.

This was the caption of the March to April 2007 page of PNOC’s (Philippine National Oil Company) calendar with their theme, “Our Undiscovered Country” with the stunning picture of Paguriran Lake in Bacon, Sorsogon. Imagine an enclosed lagoon in the middle of an island? I jotted it down in my brown notebook and vowed to visit it in the future. Below the main picture were small pictures of Vera Falls which I visited last year (so thankful) and the other was Naghaso Boiling Lake (next target to explore), both are found in my humble hometown Albay.
