Boracay Tropics: Areas for Improvement
We now continue with our Boracay series. Sorry for the long break but some topics got in the way. While we generally enjoyed our stay at Boracay Tropics (we wrote about the things we liked in a previous post), there were a few things that we didn't like too much. Some of these things can be improved while the rest are probably things guests will have to live with.

Barako at Robinsons Galleria's Indie Sine
We take a break from our Boracay Series for awhile. I received an e-mail from a classmate of mine in a Marra Lanot feature-writing workshop, Gina Verdolaga about the Indie Film Barako. Gina is now the media coordinator for East Indie Pictures.

Boracay Tropics Resort Hotel
For our Boracay vacation this year, we stayed at Boracay Tropics Resort Hotel. I actually considered several places for this year's trip: Nami Resort, Fairways and BlueWater, and the Tides Resort (also in Boracay); Antulang Resort in Dumaguete; and the Legend Hotel in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Boracay Vacation: Transfers to Boracay Tropics Resort Hotel
As soon as we got to the Caticlan Airport, someone already picked us up to already bring us to Boracay Tropics. We had to go out of the airport first before we saw the guy with a Boracay Tropics sign and our names on it -- together with other names.

Boracay Travel: Cebu Pacific Flight to Caticlan
The last time that we were in Boracay for a vacation was in 2001. My daughter Ali had not yet been born then and so it was largely for her benefit that we went to Boracay again this 2008.

My Kids and Lolo Indiana
Yesterday, we took the kids to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. My kids, of course, had no idea who Indiana Jones was nor did they know who Harrison Ford was.

Do you like cooking or working in the kitchen? If you do, chances are, you'll be on your feet for significant amounts of time and are bound to get very tired.

Help Build More Guimaras Libraries: Give Librarian Starter Kits
My UPMBA batchmate, Anna Rojas, has been involved in a book drive for the setting up of a library at the Sta. Teresa National High School (STNHS) in Guimaras. She started a book drive in February 2007 and December 2007 saw the inauguration of a new library at STNHS through the help of numerous people who donated books.

Mongol Pencils
Did you grow up using Mongol pencils? I did. All throughout my student life, I used that plain-looking yellow pencil -- either number 1 or number 2.
