Revisit Tagaytay

2008-04-21T14:46:00.003+08:00

It was really hot Saturday morning so I decided to go Tagaytay to chill out, to roam around, and to have lunch there. While I was riding a bus going to Tagaytay, I realized that the temp dropped a bit and it was really a fine weather with cool breeze: like a high noon at spring. :) I took pics around, had lunch in an Italian restaurant, bought a Starbucks frap, and roamed around till 3pm. What a weekend. :)

Darn... Guess I'm getting lazy blogging some posts in here. LOL... Nah, I just caught up on workloads but anyway like I always say "better be late than nothing."
I joined in the badminton tournament last month sponsored by the company. Well, it was pretty good even and I had lot of fun playing with my officemates and personnel that I know. Unfortunately, Joel and I got eliminated in the quarter-finals but the good thing, we blocked out the bracket A. Lots of tough players but it's good feeling that I played with them.

ADGT Open House

2007-08-28T14:51:00.000+08:00

Another late blog of mine. Argh! Wish I am more diligent on making blogs this time. :) Anyway, it's better be late than nothing as what I always say. It was ADGT Open House last May and it was a good opportunity to bring family, relatives, or friends to see what's inside in my workplace. It was a great week and I wish that my parents or brother were here during the event.

Rose's Wedding

2007-07-26T21:25:00.000+08:00

it's really been a long while i haven't made any blog posts. Good thing I have broadband in my apartment but still I got busy on some things though. It's very nice that I'm back to make blogs here so I got some events that I need to put it here.

Last April marked the grand wedding on one of my loveliest friend of mine. I was really glad that she made it so far to her loving husband and it was an honor to play them in their church wedding and reception. Congratulations to both you and may you have good fortune and love in your married life. :)

Welcome home, Elanie and Rey

2007-05-04T13:43:00.000+08:00

Another late post that I got. Sorry, I got preoccupied with work stuff and all. Just what I 've said, it's better be late than never.

Elanie and Rey went home last March and it's good that my friends and I met here in Cavite before they went back abroad. I got surprised with Elanie because she lost weight. I know that she misses Filipino food, people, things that were here. Haay... wish I could have a month vacation just like them.

ADGT Bowling Tournament

2007-01-22T11:43:00.000+08:00

This is one of my favorite events in my company life: ADGT Bowling Tournament. It was not only free-to-play event but also it was fun-filled excitement. I already joined the tournament way years back but this time our group were already raised to 6th place from the previous 7th place last year. It was pretty good achievement but I'm pretty sure that I gonna need to push myself in scoring above the average next time. At least, I am pretty consistent with my average 120. Have a great day!!!

Our team "Let's Have Turkey" falls in 6/24 place. Pretty good!

Players got in to the semi-finals. I'm glad we made it!

Me in the bowling game.

SEX (Sinangag EXpress) and 19-East

2007-01-19T10:15:00.000+08:00

Yep, you heard it right. My officemate was inviting to have dinner at SEX (it's Sinangag EXpress) and to watch Hale (local band artist) at 19-East. Also, we had sidetrips in ADPI and one of the nice places in Makati. It was truly one of the best times with my friends. Hope we could have some more trips next time. Cheers!
