New Project..

dear friends,

Good morning! Its a good saturday morning this was a very tiring week as I need to jump start a new project for a group of tenants of a mall. We have invited a famous duo of a very popular radio program heard every morning here in Manila. They will promote their first CD recording and we expect people to flock to the mall. Wish me luck!

baguio fiesta - panagbenga















A few weeks ago, my new officemates headed to the Philippines Summer Capital - Baguio City. It was years ago when I last visited Baguio. The Baguio of today is better than the Baguio I know. Development was very evident in every corner and the place seems a lot better. We stayed at the agency's staff house where I met my former officemate, as its new caretaker along with his wife and children. We visited familiar places such as Mines View Park, the Marketplace, Burnham Park, Camp John Hay, Good Shepherd's Convent and to my amazement its all a lot better than before! Here I bonded with my new friends from CBRMP and MDFO - May Rose, Amy, Emma, Roy, Daisy. I tagged along my sister Kith who's very excited since its her first time to visit Baguio.
It was my first time to witness the Panagbenga Baguio City's Flower Parade awaited by its people and visitors. We arrived evening of friday just in time for the saturday morning parade, people are starting to line up the streets, Bernie an officemate who was not able to join us as he was with his family and some relatives told us that the best place to get a better view of the parade is infront of the Postal Office. The parade started at 10am it was such a marvel that government and the private sector joined hands in making it a wonderful event. The next day, was more exciting as giant floats with real flowers take centerstage. There were even celebrities who joined the parade.

We also visited The Philippine Military Academy, Daisy's husband is PMA'er and its Commanding Officer is a good of her. He guided us inside the Campus and wondered its beautiful surroundings.

Truly this visit to Baguio is the best I had. The fresh veggies at the marketplace, the ube jam of Good Shepherd's Convent, the ukay-ukay and other nice things about this great place.

We headed back to Manila with great smile on our faces.

bagong mundo - my new world

Friends,
Please welcome me to this new world I got into. First, I say new world because this "blogging" thing is new to me. Second, I'm definitely stupid when it comes to operating a PC (I just learned to use a PC when I had my first job because in college the computers are exclusively being used by IT students (sic!). Third, after almost 3 years of resigning from my work and setting up a business with former grade school classmates, I am starting anew. I may be stupid to admit that after what happened to our business and we going our own separate ways, I am doing my self a favor. I rejoined my former office's special project as a "consultant or contractual of sorts" to some it was a demotion, well I call it a new challenge. Also, I am studying right now taking up my Doctorate in Development Administration, we're now on our 12th unit and our next subject is Statistics(!). This for me is my new world. Wish me luck!
