department strategic planning

Serious tahay ko ani na pic! So... our department strategic planning pushed through last Friday in Tambuli West Beach Resort. The original plan was to hold the activity in Plantation Bay. I was more than excited then. Anyhow, the activity went fine and the venue and food wasn't bad after all. In fact, the food was great. The said activity was spearheaded by our senior manager, attended by the section managers and section lead engineers. Later after dinner, we enjoyed an hour or so at the pool. Pictures will be posted some other time.

extra challenge?

The trip to Sumilon wasn't all fun i tell you. It was the time of the year when nature is not at it's best - meaning windy and big waves to hurdle. The pumpboat could not make a stop to its supposedly port (there should be a better term for this) because the pumpboat will be crossing against the current. We stopped at the other side of the island instead and since it's not the original place for disembarking, there was no sturdy passage. Hurdling through the big waves while inside the pumpboat was already insanely terrifying, let alone climbing through the rocks of the island while my knees were still trembling? Whew! what an adventure!

Finally, i'm able to upload the photos from our trip to Sumilon Island. It should be nice going there again this March or April.

how to get there?

Yah, how to get there? in Sumilon? Just easy.
1. Go to South bus terminal and get a bus ride going to Oslob.
2. Drop off in Sumilon main office or receiving area. (just near the main road so chances of getting lost is unlikely)
3. Wait for the pumpboat to transport you to the island itself and viola enjoy the beach! :)

Note: For day tours, have your reservations first....

i went to sumilon island...

Whew! Amidst the busy christmas rush in the air, I was off from work yesterday. I went to Sumilon Island with friends. Yes, it's December and beach outing for me knows no month or season! hehe! Sumilon is located in Oslob, south of Cebu. I had fun. It could have been greater if it's summer. Anyways, i'll post photos later.

boracay... continuation

We arrived in Boracay maybe around 6:00pm already? I'm not sure, i forgot! LOL! :D We checked in immediately and rested for a while. We then stolled around the area to spot some nice place to fill our hungry stomachs for dinner. We strolled more after and hit a nice bar for drinks. I was lousy, i should be partying and all but i went ahead and slept early. LOL! :P

boracay

I finally went to Boracay with friends last weekend. I had to file for a vacation leave because our flight was on Friday. Flight to Kalibo from Mactan was delayed for almost an hour. So instead of leaving at 1:05pm, the plane took off at almost 2:00pm already. Arrived in Kalibo in less than an hour, took a vhire ride to Caticlan. Took a pumpboat ride for less than 30 mins then another tricycle ride before finally hitting the whitesands of Boracay...

Loboc River

Another tourist spot of Bohol is the Loboc River. If you have seen the movie starred and directed by the movie actor Cesar Montano (sorry i forgot the title), then this place will come off a familiar one. What's nice is that they have these floating restaurants. So you enjoy your lunch while you feast your eyes on the views.






Kuyug ta Bohol balik na! :)
