2011 is here (you're 11 days late Dex!) and before I lay down my plans for it, I think it is but imperative to recap 2010 (because whoever said don't ever look back is missing a lot, lol) and assess my accomplishments and failures the previous year, and check where am I now with my life-goals. The first half of 2010 was not so exciting (personally, but  politically it was because

Prolouge Cebu is like the ultimate destination for me in the Philippines (as well as Davao) because of its richness in history and culture (based on Civic and Culture subject in elementary, lol). So when my officemates asked me last February if I wanted to join their trip on November, without hesitation I said yes. :) Here's the itinerary receipt. Btw, we were 14 in this trip (originally 16;

Day 3 (PM) : Meet Saigon After our Cu Chi tunnel tour, we (Lauren and I) were dropped off in War Remnants Museum to wait for our Ho Chi Mihn City tour coordinator. The museum was not part of the tour, so I decided to go inside and asked our tour coordinator to wait for me. I paid 15,000 dong for the entrance fee. War Remnants Museum The museum houses different artifacts, photographs and

Day 3 (AM) : A fragment of light at the end of the Tunnel I was excited about this day because this will be the part of the trip where I'll be just by myself. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to have friends along and I definitely enjoy Roch's company but there's something about being alone and exploring the world alone that thrills me. ^_^ I could still taste the Pho I had the previous

October is ATS' environment awareness month ergo OctoVironmental-fest. Our company organized symposium and other activities to help save the planet in our own little way; included in these activities are joining the 10.10.10 Run for Pasig River and tree planting in Makban Geothemal Plant in Bay. Laguna. And guess what? I participated. :) 10.10.10 Run for Pasig River a beautiful day to save

Day 2 : Buddha-fest in a dragon fruit land I intentionally woke-up at around 5AM so I can go out to the beach and witness the sunrise. But I remember we were in the south of Vietnam so the sun will not rise in our side of the sea. i missed the sunrise As I was waiting for Roch to get ready, I strolled around the beach and the resort. The beach is just so-so (definitely, the beaches in the

Prolouge When Roch - my college friend based in Vietnam, mentioned that she will be coming home this October for good, out of spontaneity I thought of visiting her just before she comes back. I invited our other blockmate and a couple of friends but to no avail. Even so, I still booked myself a flight because I really felt a need to have a vacation, a time to reflect and to have fun. And I think

Today is Día del Galeón (Day of the Galleon). And to take part into the festival, a couple of officemates and I went to Manila South Harbor lunch time to see Galeon Andalucia - a replica of the 17th century vessels that sailed between Manila and Acapulco during the galleon trade. Dia del Galeon 2010 As expected, there are many who want to see the Galeon and learn about the trade that change

Nung bata ako, pag tinatanong ako kung ano gusto ko maging, lagi ko sinasabi ay doktor. At pag tinanong kung bakit, sagot ko ay para makatulong sa may sakit. Yun kasi popular noon. Minsan sinasabi ko na piloto para maiba lang. Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko nakita ang aking sarili na may stethoscope sa leeg o may eroplano sa kamay. May pagka-clumsy, pasmado, at malabo ang mata ko kaya

So, it’s been six months. I still can remember the plans I made for every aspect of my life the first day of 2010. From career to relationships, self-development and spirituality — I had it all set.It’s funny coz it’s just now that I realized that all this time, until now, all I have is a plan. It’s not funny coz I’ve been doing it in circles. I’m always waiting for the perfect timing,

An addiction to conformity is a sure-fire symptom of impending death by mediocrity. --Joey Reyes I remember one of my previous colleague described me as a conformist. He actually considered it as one of my good trait but I didn’t take that as a compliment. For me, a conformist is boring, a commoner, and without convictions — and I’m not boring, my ways is like no other and  I’m in denial of

Darvit! It’s a very painful experience. I don’t know what triggered it, prolly the heat. I looked for an antibiotic to relieve the pain but to no avail, I just decided to put an icebag in my lower ab; my Lola taught me this before along with putting salt in my navel. That I didn’t buy. Lol.I stayed in the bathroom for more than 40 minutes. I took a bath again but it’s still painful. I thought of

Bowling has always been our team’s sport. Some of us are competitive and some are just having fun (just like me) trying to hit the pins — with any possible posture you can imagine. Lol. 2GO Express IT Cup AIRFAGEV Cup But whether you’re consistent with your strikes or still hitting the canal once in a while, what matters is you improve through time, develop your own style and learn something

It’s a relatively small island just perfect for relaxation and quality time alone, with friends or family. It’s obscenely beautiful and serene especially when we arrived just before sunrise. The water is very clear (and salty but that’s expected) and the off-white sand is just fine. There are rocky parts but not too much. before sunrise relaxing view clear sea and fine sand nice jump

It started fresh because of the new job with the new company. I’ve been idle for the first three months but been overwhelmed with bugs and tickets when our project was implemented last July. Thanks to my team for the support and for filling the part where I couldn’t perform. There have been days I drag myself to work but that force is not enough to break my thrust. I’m still enjoying my job and
