A Beautiful December

My office held our annual assessment/Execom Meeting/leadership development training/team building (dami ano--hehe para tipid) in lovely Bohol.

We stayed at the super beautiful Bohol Bee Farm. Grabe ang sarap ng pagkain (organic) dun tsaka ang ganda talaga ng grounds and cottages.

if you are looking for a sulit sarap vacation do go to Bohol and stay at the Bee Farm. Bohol is really nice, with great beaches, historical places and natural wonders. For the history buffs, bohol would be a great place to explore for its strong castillian roots and its many, many ancient catholic churches --as in the huge kastila churches that can be found in every block ata.















waking up early (4:00 am) to go dolphin watching in pamilacan island. the area is kinda like the part of the dolphin highway and feeding ground. we were unlucky though as there were just 10 spinner dolphins. some days before our friends said they saw hundreds of dolphins swimming and jumping. the dolphin tour guides said that sometimes the dolphins number in the thousands. it must be an awesome experience to be in the midst of that.















the creepy, ugly pinoy tarsier. it looks like a big-eyed rat but its the smallest primate daw















we also tried the loboc river cruise. its like a floating restaurant. ours had local musicians playing so it was cool even though it rained















this is my breakfast nook at the bee farm. they have tasty "corn coffee" parang kape arroz kaya lang mais instead of burnt rice

i still have lots of pix but blogger is acting weird again. go visit the bohol bee farm gallery for more pics.

hayy, ang ganda ganda talaga ng 'pinas!

Best Wishes from Mervs & Family

happy new year!!

testing lang po if blogger works ok na

Business update from Tyrone

i was supposed to post this friday kaya lang i got so busy with my freelance work kaya i forgot hehe. tyrone relayed this info to me when i called him friday. i'll just cut and paste what tyrone posted in the chatbox coz others might miss it and some other things we talked about last friday

"mga padi, im hapi to announce that we made 30% PROFIT in less than 2 months. i am just transfering the title of the lot to the buyer's name and we'll be paid in full, estimated (payment date) is Dec 5, 2006. We can meet anytime after that for the distribution of your full capital plus 30% as your gain. please inform me when is your convenient time, il be very happy to host another meeting in cebu if you want. sorry for the long silence, i am sooo busy . anyway, thanks for trusting in my capacity, and we'll sure hope for another business opportunity in the near future."

Tyrone also generously offered to host the next reunion -- maybe in sorsogon or in cebu (pati ba pamasahe? hehehe). whadya think mga padi?

Happy Birthday Tivo!

padi, mahapit na lang kami sa balay mo ha kay masiram an pagkaon da, hehehe

First Fruits!

Mga padi, Tyrone is happy to announce that our first investment project has bore the proverbial first fruit. The fund was used to buy and then sell a piece of real estate in Cebu City. Tyrone is calling for a meeting to thresh out profit sharing and to discuss the next project planned to launch in February 2007.

On a related note, Jason's fish trading business is off to a good start and his "angels" (some of our classmates) are expecting a nice return of their investments :-)

siya, keep well and have a nice weekend y'all!

Download Firefox 2 now!!!!

mga padi, firefox 2 is available for download now.

please uninstall internet explorer from your pc and use firefox instead. its super fast, renders web pages beautifully and faithfully, protects against viruses, trojans, phishing schemes and other malwares, blocks pop-ups, has tons of extensions etc. etc.

if you use internet explorer to browse our blog, you can see that it does not display correctly, repositioning the chat box way down and messing up the structure the blog.

so to get that one and only "maelstrom blog experience" use FIREFOX please :-)

Milenyo damages OLPS

mga padi! posted over at the alumni blog are some pix of the OLPS damges from the typhoon.

mag propose lang ako na maybe we can donate sa olps to help in repairing the damages.

maybe you can discuss it during the meeting today
