a strawberry farm visit

It was one sunny day of April when one of my dreams came true. That’s to see and visit the strawberry farm in La Trinidad, Benguet. Though we did not pick strawberries because we did not had enough time to do it, seeing strawberry plants as well as lettuce was enough. Happiness filled my heart.

Come, please join me and take a look at Strawberry farm.









Now, who wants strawberries? Uhmmm…yummy!

Our Baguio Trip

It was during college days when I first visited Baguio City. Now, after more than a decade I was so glad that I was able to go back in Baguio City.

We stayed there for three nights and four days, yon nga lang hindi rin kami gaanong nakapag ikot because we were busy doing some works. And during night time when we were already free to roam around eh medyo pagod na at nagkakatamaran ng lumabas lalo na ako na hindi naman sanay sa mga gimmick and night out.

Our event was held at Villa La Maja Hotel. Medyo malayo sya center but the place is so quiet and the manager and the staff were very accommodating.

Lucky enough that they have a big conference room to accommodate our guests. We were expecting only 85 – 90 persons but then bigla silang dumami at umabot ng mahigit 100 persons.




And while it is very hot here in Manila, we were also very lucky to experience and enjoy the very cold weather there in Baguio City. Uhmmm… look at the fog. I love it!

A Manaog Trip before Holy Week!

Before i take a vacation, let me share to you the pictures from our Manaog trip.


It was not a planned trip. But it was indeed a good decision and a very nice experience to go inside and see the Manaog Shrine before Holy week.

A blessed Holy Wednesday everyone!

side trip at Magat Dam

Before going back to Manila, we decided to see the Magat Dam. Anyway, it is just a few minutes ride from where we stayed.

It was a lovely morning and a beautiful place greeted us. I’ll let the pictures below tell you what a wonderful experience I got there:






Oh, isn’t it beautiful? My first Ifugao trip indeed gave me a very memorable experience.

hello Ifugao

Yay, for the first time I saw how Ifugao looks like.

At first, I was afraid because it was my first time to face those people we are dealing with in Cordillera region. It was actually a new assignment assigned to my boss. And I am tasked to assist him on his new assignments.

But my fear did not last long. Along the way, as I saw and enjoyed beautiful scenes, my fear begins to disappear. It is indeed a beautiful place. Take a look at these photos:







It was very refreshing. It was also very cold there. Centralized ang air condition biro ko pa nga.

Then, the people there are very kind. Totally opposite kaysa sa inaasahan ko. They are sincere people at madali naman ding kausap.

Hopefully next time eh ibang place naman sa Cordillera ang mapuntahan ko.

Just a quick note!

Hello everyone! :)

I'm very busy & demoralized at the same time but I wanted to post a quick note because I really-really miss you guys.

I still have constant challenges to get through each day and your prayer is very much appreciated.It continues to be a difficult journey for me, but I know someday soon this will all pass. Sabi nga ni Santino, may bukas pa!

Anyway, our contract will end on the 30th of June and we still don’t know what will happen next. But for the rest of June and until the next boss come, we are all very busy.

By next week, I will be out of the office to attend a workshop and a writeshop. And the week after next, I will also be out of the office for a closed door session with our trainor so we can submit our output on or before June 30.

For the meantime, let me share to you some of the pictures I took at the MMLDC in Antipolo City last May 25-26 during our 2-day workshop there.

That's it for now! I'll drop by at your site as soon as I can.
Happy Thursday to all.

My Yellow Roses
