To experience the beauty of gulf shores with laid back atmosphere and unwavering warm temperature year round … That’s what my family and I will be doing this December!!!

Jealous? Wait til you hear where we’re going… to Guimaras! It’s the next Boracay in the Philippines. Aside from the lush island scenery, there’s attractions for all ages such as the Trappist Monastery, Macopo and Sadsad falls, and a lot of spectacular beaches to relax and sunbathe on. To cap it off, we get to taste the sweetest mangoes in the world!

The Guimaras Island is famous for producing the sweetest mangoes in the world. Guimaras mangos are reportedly served at the White House and Buckingham Palace. Guimaras’ largest event of the year is The Manggahan Festival (the Mango Festival).

Pretty exciting, huh? 0:p

One of the perks of being promoted from Project to Department Manager in our company is having a new company mobile phone with a great subscription plan. I recently got mine almost like a birthday gift just this 27th – a black E75.

I used to look forward to acquiring the company phone. I even thought of immediately getting a phone insurance quote for it. But right now, after all the unending, galling office issues, I cannot help but associate E75 with dampened thoughts. It’s like E75=unnecessary but unavoidable responsibility.

I know these things should not affect me, and I quote from Megan McCafferty’s Second Helpings, “The ignorant take themselves too seriously. The brilliant know better and laugh at themselves.” But then again, no matter how small my problems are, I just cannot stop obsessing about them, especially if it’s related to injustice – which by the way is the case in the office.

Anyway, I thank God my friend is willing to take over my new phone for a week or two. I really hate having a new expensive gadget go unappreciated. For me, that’s worse than being stolen – a thing being unappreciated and left on the shelves (which surprisingly is what I literally did after receiving the E75). Sad right?

Now I’m sure my phone is happy with her temporary owner. ^_^ And that makes me happy as well. Until then, my E75!

Regular company outing is actually recommended not just for relaxation but also for promoting camaraderie among our colleagues as well. This is why teambuilding activities are carefully planned to make sure everyone enjoys them.

This year, I’m in charge of finding the venue and planning the activities for our summer outing. Compared to the past years, I got a lot of requests on where our activity will be held – majority of which are hiking requests. I guess they got bored with the beach resorts so they want to try something different this time. Considering that a lot of people in my company IS getting fat from just sitting in front of the monitor the whole day, hiking is definitely a good idea for a company outing.

Since most of my colleagues have their own digital camera or camcorder, I think it’ll be great if the activity will be an MTV creation of some sort. This way we’ll get to enjoy the scenery, bond with friends and new acquaintances, and best of all, have our own company music video. “Where’s the challenge there?” you ask. Well, winners get a week long paid vacation. Losers … hmm… salary deduction for the week long vacation of the winners. Haha, kidding guys!

I made this site just to share my everyday experiences as a shop-a-holic, sassy, obsessive-compulsive, new-age-sensitive kinda SEO manager. I’m still hoping I could entertain some readers though, or probably just give some tips on best buys available on the net. You’re all welcome to drop by anytime! Keep ya posted!

Hi there! I still have no idea on what to write in this blog.
