BoRaCaY - Day 5: 20 October 2004 Wednesday

2004-10-20T19:26:00.000+08:00

Finally, our last stay in Boracay. John Paul, Ekky, Sheila and I left the resort early. I'm a bit excited to leave coz I miss my family already, and can't wait to give my pasalubong to them. I bought shirts for my dad, mom and brothers; accessories for my cousins; and magnets for my friends. Syempre pinakamadaming pasalubong, my favorite nephew, Albert. I bought him shirt and magnets -- and brought him some puca shells for his aquarium :p

BoRaCaY - Day 4: 19 October 2004 Tuesday

2004-10-19T20:01:00.000+08:00

Our 4th day in Boracay was such a busy day. Since it's our last day there, we wanted to make it the most exciting day.

First, we started the day by having breakfast at the beach with the whole AAT. Then after that, we went to the "talipapa" in Station 3, where we had our lunch, and also, buy some stuffs there. When we got back to Station 1, we just rest for a while then went straight to Puca Beach to enjoy the sunset view there. It was already late when we got back to the resort. At night, we went to Cocomanga's, a famous bar known for its 15 shot challenge: "15 SHOTS AND STILL STANDING".

BoRaCaY - Day 3: 18 October 2004 Monday

Tattoo Mania: One of the things you should experience when going to Boracay is the henna tattoo. It's so artistic and I find it really cool. I actually got 2 -- butterfly and lizard. Funny thing, "manong" became our friend pa :p So discounted kme by 20 bucks for each tattoo.

BoRaCaY - Day 2: 17 October 2004 Sunday

2004-10-17T13:00:00.000+08:00

Second day's agenda: SNORKELLING!!!

Our snorkelling activity started at around 2PM. The first pic was taken while waiting for the boat and "manong". The original time for this activity was moved to a later schedule since we were still waiting for Mike, who will be arriving from Bacolod.

While waiting for Mike, we stayed at Jonah's --- a famous place for fruitshakes. Aside from the fruitshakes, their sandwiches are also good.

BoRaCaY - Day 1: 16 October 2004 Saturday

2004-10-16T13:00:00.000+08:00

Boracay is one of the best places I've ever been. It's a good place to set for a vacation and relax with your family or friends, especially to those who love nature. We stayed there from Saturday to Wednesday, and I can say that I did enjoy each day, from morning til night.

October 16, Saturday, we arrived the Kalibo Airport at around 9Am. From the airport, we took the bus going to Caticlan harbour, and from there, we took the boat to Boracay.

We arrived Bans Beach Resort at around 2PM. This resort is located at the beach front of Station 1, with it's native-style cottages.

Our team celebrated the 2nd anniversary of our project, Careers.Accenture.Com. Ofcourse, the whole Careers Team was invited, including ex-team mates and friends (syempre selected few lang!).

We I first joined the team, they were just composed of 6 members including our Senior Manager, Rhoda. But now, we've grown bigger, grouped into 3: Operations, Search Jobs and CMS. We also have our new Manager, Rory, in the team.

The Accenture.Com Team celebrated their successful release at the 12th floor (lung cancer <= smoking) area of GT Tower. Syempre, since most of my friends are from that project, naki-join pa din ako :p

Despedida Party for Ronnie

2004-08-26T21:22:00.000+08:00

Our team had a simple despedida party for Ronnie, who will be trasferring to another company. We just had dinner at Super Bowl (Jupiter), then went out for a videoke party at IO. Ang gagaling kumanta ng Careers, haha!

Alfred's Surprise

2004-08-26T18:49:00.000+08:00

A nice shot of our boylets, as part of Alfred's surprise. The girls took the effort to bring girly stuffs like Cosmo magz, hair blower, brush, perfume, kikay bag, etc. Everything was actually planned a day before this picture was taken, and it's really fun because the guys cooperated with us (as if they had a choice!).

Girls' turn now. We didn't realize it's hard (pala) to do the posing. This was also taken at the 12th floor of GT Tower, but we thought it's a nice idea to sit on the stairs :p The 2nd pic was taken outside the men's room (just for fun lang).

First AAT Outing: Laiya Coco Grove Resort

2004-03-20T20:15:00.000+08:00

Our 1st AAT outing!!! A beach resort in San Juan, Batangas -- Laiya Coco Grove. Exciting dahil overnight lang kme sa tent, but we really enjoyed our stay, SUPER BONDING. Although the beach itself was not really that good (mas ok syang camping site, actually ;D), we survived naman especially our mala-Blaire Witch Project night.

All in all, we were 10: TA, Sean, Mike, Anton, Sherwin, Ekky, John Paul, me, Leah and Sheila.

1st Start Group Anniversary

Celebrating our first start group anniversary at Gerry's Grill in Glorietta, Makati . These people are my first circle of friends since I joined Accenture. Although right after our orientation (a year ago) we were distributed to different projects and locations, we still find time to celebrate and have fun together.

2003-12-22T13:24:00.000+08:00

Accenture Christmas Party 2003 at PICC -- I can't believe the Accenture family is that big (parang graduation, haha!). As usual, I was with my start group and we had plans of going somewhere else after the event. Unfortunately, nagkatamaran :(

Aubar Gimik with my Start Group Buddies

2003-12-12T13:30:00.000+08:00

Our favorite place for Gimik -- Aubar. Why?! Shemps!...cheaper ang beer compared to other bars here in Makati. Super bonding ang mga BOMICE (ask Marce for the meaning of the word -- censored!). Kahit super busy, we still have time to attend our sessions. One of the best group for me, kahit super bastos sila (as in sila lang, hehe ;p)

USTMath99 Christmas Party 2003

2003-12-10T13:08:00.000+08:00

Christmas Party celebration with my college batchmates. I was able to meet old friends again after a long time because of busy schedule. Some got married, may mga babies na, but one thing in common -- sobrang childish pa din :p The usual teasing and drinking session...our favorite subject, Dan (shempppps!...galing mag-english nyan pag lasheng, haha!).

PuErTo GaLeRa - Day 1: 22 November 2003

2003-11-22T18:22:00.000+08:00

My first time to visit Puerto Galera. Although the trip going there was really tiring (imagine after a long bus trip going to the port, we had to take the boat going to Mindoro), the place, I can say, was really nice and I had great time with my friends...not to mention, it was my first time then to snorkel...ang ganda! Nakita ko si Nemo, hehe!

The first pic was my good friend, Philip (or Flip as we call him ba o she?...hehe!). The 2nd pic, a shot with my friend, Sheila...we call her "Sheila Diver", at Batangas port. 3rd and last, a shot of me and my B-O-M-I-C-E friends. They're my first buddies here in Accenture. Sobrang lalakas uminom pero everybody's matino like me :p

The last set pix was taken during our first day stay there. Swimming the whole afternoon then in the evening, we spent the whole time playing cards plus the body shots, ofcourse!
