extravagant gastronomic experience

in the midst of preparing our audit observation memoranda, we managed to sneak out from reality and allowed ourselves to be tempted by our insatiable appetites. at around 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, my boss and my colleague were at the Casino just enjoying the moment as we savored the sinful taste of choco monster cake provided by figaro. i gulped when i learned that the choco frost i was sipping costs P205! while a slice of cake is priced at P105! 'though i shouldn't be affected since i did not pay for it, but the fact remains that it was too pricey! i could have a full meal with that! well, life's like that.. what more can i do but just finished my drink bottom up, wiped my plate clean, and move on..

tough decision, yet a better one

Hi again! Many of you (my dear colleagues and acquaintances) have been wondering why i took a major step to move to Tagaytay from the "oh, little town of butuan". Well, let me explain, in part, by sharing to you this excerpt from Robert T. Kiyosaki's book entitled Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant. Here it is:

Losers Do the Same Things in Life

People who are afraid of losing do the same things in real life. We all know of:

1. People who stay in marriages where there is no longer any love.
2. People who stay at dead-end jobs.
3. People who hang on to old clothes and "stuff" they will never use.
4. People who stay in towns where they have no future.
5. People who stay friends with people who hold them back. (emphasis MINE)

Well, did i just satisfy your curiousity? Do i need to say more? Just hold on for my next post! :)

countdown to manila

if my mathematics serves me right, it's only 35 days before i'll be transferring to manila. huhuhu. manila here i come! hehehe. you think i must be crazy! but, honestly? i don't know what to feel. i will surely miss tagaytay but at the same i'm looking forward for the challenges waiting for me in manila. in the next few weeks, i'll try to reminisce my memorable stint here in tagaytay and hopefully i will have the time to write it down here in my blog. till my next post! ciao! :)

breakfast in the office

what's wrong with having a breakfast in the office.. err.. office canteen? let me tell you the background of my story. the night before (or shall i say, few hours before?) , i slept at around 1am already.. in the office! i woke up at almost 6am or barely after 5hrs. i went home at 830am just to freshen up in haste with all those bath rituals and stuff. i returned back to the office few minutes before 10am. then, we had breakfast (brunch!) at 1030am. to think it's saturday! i should have been at home still snoring at this time. zzzzz! ngork! gosh, sacrifices.. we have a deadline to beat..

pizza and spaghetti!

We had a sumptuous snacks just this afternoon! Courtesy of, who else? but the proud mother of the newly-passed registered nurse. pizza special and spaghetti from donatello. yummy! yummy! oh, how i wish we could do this celebration everyday. hehe. hey! my clothes are started to shrink already! help!
