Cebu Plant of NutriAsia Group
June 18-19,2010

It was an hour of travel with PAL Flight PR 823 from NAIA in Manila to Mactan Airport in Cebu.

Right after the arrival, the team composed of an IT Manager, PPIC Manager and a consultant (me) headed to the plant. On our way to the plant, small and colorful jeepneys took my attention. I wasn't able to capture images of it but I got some from the net.

It was at 8:30 in the morning when we reached the plant. After breakfast, all the activities were executed as planned. We left at 9:30 in the evening and headed to Cebu Pido Grill for the dinner. That was not just an ordinary dinner, that was a food trip. A lot of delicacies were served in sizzling plates.

I had a chance to see the beauty of Ayala Cebu at night on our way to Parklane International Hotel. This was like Ayala Avenue in Makati. I saw the castle-themed five star hotel- Waterfront Hotel not that far from our location.

I could hear from the news about how progressive Cebu is, but now that I was given the chance to be in Cebu, I could say that Cebu really is on its progressive state, a good destination for vacation, business meetings, conventions, tour and leisures based on what I saw from the busy streets.

Because of the limited time, I promised that I will be going back to Cebu. On that time, I will make sure that it is a vacation.

May 9-11, 2010

May 11 is a special day for the Filipino people to practice our right in choosing the next leaders of the country. Moreover, this is also an opportunity for employees like me who worked in Manila to had a short vacation in the province.

I also brought the new TV set and DVD Player for my mom. When I got home, I did nothing but to play music in my new player and watch movies. That was a great time to rest. On Sunday morning, we headed to Tabia shore for the family picnic.

Bohol Beach Club, Panlao Island Bohol Philippines








This was happened last April 23-25, 2010 but because of being busy in my work, I wasn't able to post it in my blog. This is one of my most unforgettable travel experience. I was able to tour the island in 3 days. Litterally our lives only evolved inside the service bus, taking pictures in every destinations and craving for tasteful delicacies. We just just go back of the resort to dine, rest and took a bath.

On Day 1, we visted the Baclayon Church, Chocolate Hills in Carmen, watched the Loboc Junior Ambassadors Band for their wonderful music and cruise in Loboc River.

On the second Day, we woke up early to watch Dolphins, afterwards we proceed to Balicasag to snorkel. After a short rest, we headed to the central school to see the performance of Lococ Children's Choir. At night, we had dinner at beach front then played in the sand until 2AM.

The third day was our last day in Bohol. We had breakfast in Bohol Bee Farm wherein one of the dessert was "fresh flowers", really.

A Hidden Breakaway

Nasugbu, Batanggas City Philippines



A hidden destination for fun and adventure. This beach is not yet recognized as one of the preffered spots during summer as compared to Boracay, El Nido and other beaches popular in the Philippines.


What is exciting here is that, yes for the fact that only those folks living nearby this beach know about this, anyone who does not like noisy and crowded beaches will most likely prefer to stay here. Besides, because it is not private, there are no big fees to paid for.

This is not a white beach with fine sand accross the shore, no bars and parties at night but the privacy and peacefulness of the place is priceless.

Still in office at past 7:00 PM. Instead of having take outs from the nearby fastfood chains, we prefer to took a short ride and find some place with good food to offer for dinner. We found this place along JP Rizal in Makati City. The Fabiana's Grill. The photo above is the upper level made of wood. This place also serves as a little bar. After dinner is a good start for fun and drinking sessions.



I really don't know what is the message this structure in front of this grill house is trying to imply. I often see something like this while crossing a train rail. A warm welcome, this could be..

Anyone who would glance the ceiling of Festival Supermall in Alabang, Muntinlupa at the first attempt could say that a big spider web is hanging over him. A lot of eye-captivating architectures could be seen in this mall especially in the playing areas dedicated for children.

This beautiful sunset was taken in La Luz Resort, San Juan Batangas City Philippines. I've seen several sunset photos in Google, but this one is different. Well maybe its because of the timing the sunset was taken. A good combination of yellow and black colored sky at past 6 pm like this but of course depending on the weather condition.

It's very refreshing to see something green in the morning. Makati is one of the Philippines' busiest city and is categorized as the center of business and commerse. Aside from the aggressive development of more buildings, residential establishments like condos and apartments, malls and other modern business architectures, Makati also aims to provide its people with a green and a nature freindly environment through the development of theme parks and gardens.

V. Mapa LRT Station

January 20, 2010
Just alighted from a train at the V. Mapa station Wednesday night. Commuters in different walks of life await the next train going to Santolan and Recto.
This scenario is very different as compared in the morning. This two platforms at both sides are full of commuters rushing to work.
Below the train station are departments stores, side walk vendors and hotels servicing people scheduled for tonight's work.

Marinduque Island Vacation 2009

There's no such place like home!

It is exactly a year since I came back home again. Everything seems to be the same, but not as what I left before..(sigh...). Emotionaly, it is true that there is no other place in the world like home, it is still your birthplace, your territory. Like mine. Whatever I left are still what I could see when I return. Few changes has been made, but the real essence is still the same.

Going home is like a championship. Win or loss, a measure of what you are when you left and what you are when you arrived. For me this is the result of a battle. It is what you bring back not what you took away. Living in this place since a
child, lots of dreams were built- the only thing to carry when time comes that you need to left and look for yourself.

Since then, going home is like a dream come true. The fruit of labor and hard work. And once again, a scale of what would it be next year.

Marinduque Island is another destination far away from the city. The annual Moriones Festival on April would be a great cultural experience that's why it is better to bagged this as one of your summer get away..



Seashore in Tabia - shelter for fishing boats. These huge boats are used for fishing in nearby towns and nearby provinces.





The coconut farm: This is more or less 5 hectares of land where popular variety of crops are coconut, bananas and fruit trees. Livestocks are also raised here like chicken and hog.
