BITS AND PIECES

i already got my starbucks 2008 limited edition planner!!!

there are people who would do all that they can to destroy your credibility in order to protect their name and to hide all the lies they have done. 

In celebration of our company's 9th year anniversary, we sponsored a Gawad Kalinga Build Day last Friday, December 8, 2007 at Munting Paraiso, Trece Martirez Chapter.

Straight from our Metrobank M-Card sign-up activity and with almost no sleep at all (because we finished the sign-up activity at 2am Friday morning), me and eka headed to the Build Day site to arrange everything so that as soon as everyone arrives, everything will be all-set. Yeah, we have no choice but to do this because we were the one assigned to organize this activity. But of course, we also wanted to do this thing... we are excited actually.

Now, i can finally say goodbye...

my last tears fell... my heart so broken now finally have its time to heal... no more holding back...

i know you're in peace. i know you can see me...

to the very end you showed me you've hold on to our promise. you've waited for me before you left...

you left not by choice... because it's your time...

our Big Daddy up there needs you now... and you have to go...

its just now that things are starting to sink in... i have to face the reality that you're gone...

you're a one big part of my life that i would never exchange for anything. Your the greatest thing that ever happened to me. You've showed me a lot.. learned so much... loved unconditionally...

and now you're my angel... (together with my mommy)

i know you're just around....

i will terribly miss you....

...till i see you there....

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

of all the out of town trips i've ever had, this is one of the best!!! syempre kasama ko ang aking partner in crime cum sis na si minnie...

this is the jeepney that took us to the start line of rafting activity... here. we were given all the stuffs that we need... lifevest, helmet, paddle, etc...








i really love this shot... taken from the first stop-over for picture taking... this was taken by Clint... may talent din sya sa photography no? *big grin*... fyi: super lamig and lakas ng water current... kaya kelangan holding hands kme.. heheheh!

this was the five of us... we get to know the three of them during the briefing... just so happened that they are only three and kami naman, 2 lang.. so might as well we'll join together as a group...

they call this rapid as Cloud 10. I forgot why.. this is where the raft will bump into a big rock making the raft move upwards.. having the tendency for us to fall.. pero sorry!!! mahigpit kapit namin.. di kme nahulog!!!the "sneak preview" cave (kasi daw marami daw snake dito pag summer).. one of the parts i like...may maliit kasi na falls... ang sarap!!!



it was really a fun, exciting adventure i (or should i say we) ever had. you guys should try this kahit once lang... its really worth the experience...

MANILA --> OZAMIZ CITY --> OROQUIETA CITY --> CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY --> BUKIDNON --> back to CDO --> MANILA

- naging supergirl ako for one day kasi kelangan ko magconduct ng training sa Ozamiz at Oroquieta (1-hr drive away ang pagitan) at the same time makapunta ng Cagayan De Oro (na may last trip na 5pm sa Ozamiz) the same day kundi e di ako makakabalik pauwi ng Manila. Ang CDO is 4 hours away from Ozamiz.

- syempre di ako umabot sa last trip. natapos ang training ko sa Oroquieta ng 5pm. Buti na lang mabait yung client namin sa Oroquieta.. hinatid ako sa barge. yun na kasi ang last option.

- First time ko sumakay ng Barge. Sa mga di nakakaalam, eto yung barko kung saan sinasakay ang mga land vehicles para makatawid ng dagat. Syempre natakot ako, ako lang kasi mag-isa and di ko naiintindihan ang salita ng mga tao...

- Yung bus na nasakyan ko sa barge e hanggang Iligan lang.. so kelangan ko pa magtransfer ng bus sa Iligan papunta Cagayan... a enong oras na???? Nakarating ako sa Iligan ng 9pm.. pagdating sa terminal e yung nag-iisang bus (last trip na yata yun) papuntang Cagayan e paalis na... muntik pa ko di umabot... tapos non-aircon bus pa! kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman...

- nakarating naman ako ng safe sa Cagayan De Oro... mga 11pm na yata yun. Tapos wala pa kong hotel na matutuluyan... ni hindi ko alam saang lupalop ako ng Cagayan De Oro... si Minnie kasi na dapat kasama ko e di nakapagland yung flight nya dahil sa bad weather.. pinabalik sya ng Manila. So, ako lang talaga mag-isa...

- May lifesaver naman ako... I have this "newfound friend" na pinakilala ni jaymie na nakabase sa CDO. Sya tumulong sakin na malaman ko kung saan ako magchecheck-in.. yung hotel katabi ng bahay nila.. hehehehe... Tawag nila dun sa area na yun e Divisoria... yun pala ang center ng CDO... malapit sa lahat...pagdating ko dun, yung Night Market agad and nakita ko...

- Pagdating ni Minnie kinabukasan, walang pahi-pahinga.. go agad kame sa WHITE WATER RAFTING! Panalo sa experience!! yung details sa susunod na post. Here's one of my favorite pic...



- Kinabukasan, uuwi na dapat ako. Biglang cancelled lahat ng flights papuntang Manila. Ang lakas ng ulan. No choice ako.. kundi tumawag sa office at sabihin ang situation... kelangan na rin kasi ako sa ofc dahil ang dami kong naiwan na work... Nagparebook ako ng flight for next day... buti na lang may available pa.. pero 2nd to the last flight na..

- Sumama na lang ako sa trainining ni Minnie sa Bukidnon. Dito ko natikman ang sizzling bulalo... panalo!

- Bago umuwi, di namin pinalampas ang ukay ukay.... mas mura dito kesa sa baguio...




Super memorable experience ito of all the out of town trips namin ni Minnie... thank you thank you sa lahat ng tumulong sa amin... kay Ms. Eliezer ng Petron Ozamis sa pagsundo sakin sa airport ng Ozamiz at sa lunch na masarap... kay Mr. Fred ng Petron Oroquieta sa paghatid sakin sa Ozamiz Port ... kay Rich.. and aking "newfound friend" for keeping up with us, sa tanduay mix at sa mahaba habang kwentuhan.. and kay Serge sa pagsama sa amin sa Bukidnon...

This was indeed one of the best ever adventure weekend i ever had....
