Lunch Break at Yellow Cab Tagaytay

it was just an ordinary Friday when one of my officemates wanted "or I could say he was forced" to treat us a lunch in Yellow Cab Tagaytay. He is a neo in our group and a free lunch would be his good acquaintance. It's my second I got lunch in Yellow Cab and Ces "my officemate" brought a digicam to get some moments during lunch.


me and my officemate. we keep smiling since this is a free lunch anyway.

this officemate and I wore the same long-sleeved shirt. He kept me bugging me at my back while we were taking a shot here.

after lunch. we had a stop in Starbucks coffee for a break. I wonder what they were doing at my back. Such an act.

Day Off To Baguio

If you had read my previous blog saying that I will be going to the highlands, well you're right. I was there in Baguio for a weekend break. It's my wish that came true and I enjoyed a lot. Cool weather, green pines, and beautiful parks are the best and not to mention shopping galore on inexpensive veggies, delicacies, and souvenirs. Two days were not enough though but I guess I'll have another trip some other time.


green pines! took a pose after a long trip.


the Manor Hotel. This is the place I WISHED to stay for weekend.


cottages from John Hay Camp. This is the place we ACTUALLY stayed for weekend.


the Ifugao house in Botanical Park. The is the place I HATE to stay for weekend. Actually, it was just an attractive display for tourists like me.


me and doglas. The breed is St. Bernard and he's huge for 2 years in age.



mines view. i was viewing the beautiful place in Baguio.

Weekend With Jay-R

Last Saturday (April 9), I was meeting with my best friend Jay-R in Makati City. Actually, Jay-R had a field trip in Manila from his university (USLS Bacolod). Since, he was his first time in Manila, I made him a nice tour in Glorietta, SM Megamall, and Green Hills. It was fun since I missed him for a long time though.

Volet's Night Fun

Friday was over and my officemates were planning to have fun in Volet's resort (Dasmarinas, Cavite). Just set aside the work thing and let your body relax in cool waters.


uh no! our dinner is on fire!

Summer League 2005

ADGT Summer league "ADGT is the company I am working in" was officially opened last Tuesday April 5. In our department, we have 2 teams for Basketball, 1 team for Men's Volleyball, and 1 team for Women's Volleyball. There are 8 teams on each game and I am joining in the Men's Volleyball team (Maroon). The opening was fun-filled and wacky and not to mention the free drinks and sandwiches. Yum!

Here are the pics that I got during the day's event:

A Great Pope That Inspires

Sunday (April 3) 3AM Philippine time - Pope John Paul II died in Vatican.

I got the flash news in morning TV while I was doing my laundry outside and suddenly I heard that the Pope died at 3AM. I was not shocked or surprised in the news since I already guessed that his body was gone terminal "hooked up with life support system" but I broke my tears while watching TV. April 3 was not only my 5th year in my company and that moment, I felt that the time stopped and all my memories during World Youth Day event gushed out in my mind. I was also an official member during World Youth Day 1995 in Manila joining with all Don Bosco schools. I also remember that I saw the great Pope riding in a special vehicle and the distance that I could get near was 15 meters. For me, it WAS a great thing I couldn't forget. With all his inspiring thoughts, his simple smile, his hand wave touch our lives and bring us closer to God.

Memories... this is the unforgettable thing that he would leave in our hearts. And with that, I am very grateful.

Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)
