Davao trip


Pumunta kami ng Davao, may office event kasi ako doon. So I decided to bring Mina along for some well deserved vacation, after all 10th year anniversary namin. We stayed at the Marco Polo Hotel which is the venue of most of our events, got to meet relatives and friends we haven't seen for a long time, as well as new ones. It was really a pleasure to meet up with Karen Alcantara (batch 84, our resident Sandi Patti), she came directly from work just to meet with us. Sayang lang wala kaming photo-op. Ate Emmie and Kuya Johnny took us suha (grapefruit) and pasalubong shopping. Thanks!
Melvin del Mundo Arlene Cape Datu PFSG-Davao (GVC, Abner & Sonny)
Melvin met up with us at SM Davao then he took us to their factory where we met his wonderful wife who's expecting a child soon then it was up to Jack's Ridge and home as we have other meetings to go to at Victoria Mall. Mina met up with Arlene, her daughter and brother (my apologies Arlene); as I was meeting with PFSG-Davao at Basti's Brew (would you believe we've know each other for over a year but it's the first time we met face-to-face?). Sonny thanks for the treat and the mug, that was one mean salpicao (stir-fried garlic beef) and your durian coffee rocks! Blue skies sirs!

On the way back the plane was an hour late (that's PAL for you), the kids are texting like mad because they miss us already (3-days kami dun) - good thing the office provided a car to take us home. It's a very pleasurable trip, maraming trabaho pero hindi ko masyadong napansin kasi when I turn in for the day, I know Min is there (gosh!).

Joey's vocabulaire du jour

Use "fiesta" and "department" in a sentence.

Joey: (to Sam) Hindi ka pa pwedeng mag-pa-fiesta kasi wala ka pang department teeth!

CL-415 SuperScooper


Finally! I got the CL-415 model I bought from the Hobbylinc from my sister. It's 1/72 scale Heller injection molded scale model of the Italian Securite Civile. I plan to finish this in either the yellow SuperScooper (C-GILN) 2002 Asia-Pacific tour colours or in Philippine Coast Guard colours (not that we have one in the PCG inventory). The over-all level of detail is very good, though I think the rivets are a bit over done.

French class

I'm going to be having another session later today. Hehehe. I'm beginning to regret my decision of enrolling. Dapat sa regular class muna. Sobrang fluent na yung mga classmates ko. I think I'm understanding only about 20% of what is being said. Anyway, wala na `tong urungan so let `er rip!
I'm so sleepy kaya lang I can't Joey still has a swimming competition at ULTRA tomorrow. We have to be up early for the trip. Good thing is I will finally be getting my CL-415 model and DVD from my sister.

Manila Zoo trip

This was sort of impromptu, it was Holy Saturday and we took the kids to Manila Zoo hoping it was open. Andeng saw an hehepotamus
and we had a photo taken with the an albino python.

The kids enjoyed the trip, we had lunch at the Harrison Plaza where tinungga na lang ni Andeng yung miso soup, then we went biking at the CCP grounds.

Easter at the Westin

We checked in sa Westin courtesy of my Asia Miles points (na malapit nang mag-expire) nung Black Saturday. Dun na rin kami nag-Easter kinabukasan.

Here are some pics of the poolside as viewed from our room. As you can see, it's packed with people who opted to stay in Manila instead of going to the provinces for the Holy Week.


Joey lounging around, akala mo kanya yung place.

Nini and Joey enjoying the pool...

Too bad, we had to cut their fun short... it's check-out time.


Had to feed them on our way home. After all that pool activity? Kaya sila lang dalawa ang umubos nung pizza.
