We will miss you Uncle Vic!

Last Saturday, our neighbor Ate Felma informed us that Uncle Vic had a stroke and unluckily he did not survive. Uncle Vic was my papa's best friend, they are great buddies since they were still young untill the last minute of his life. Itik, was the name given by my father to uncle hence according to him uncle was like a duck if he talks. We will be missing uncle Vic for sure, his silly jokes, his advices and his company. The body of uncle lays at Cotabato City and will be transfered at Buayan, Mlang, North Cotabato. Kuya Junior his eldest son was tasked to arrange all the needs for his dad including the papers of uncle Vic's insurances. Kuya told us that one of his dad's term life insurance had not matured yet but the family decided to waive the right t so that they can use the money for the funeral of Uncle Vic. Interment service will be schedule when Eugene his youngest son arrives on Thursday!

Photo Hunt!


Am in the mood of photo hunt and am so lucky I found this picture in Gretz Friendster album. This picture was taken 2 years ago during Kidapawan City Timpupo Fruit Festival. We are the 3's Marias during our CPDC days. My bessie Ethel in the middle is now working with the World Vision International while Gretz dear is now happily working at Dubai, UAE and yours truly is still connected at LGU-Kidapawan City.

Missing the Old days!

Last Tuesday, the Local Chief Executive called an emergency meeting at first hour in the morning. The three of us in the Admin Office attended the said meeting. As expected the meeting was a bit delayed cause we waited some officers. While waiting, I was able to chat with my other colleagues at Planning Department, we reminisce those days when we are still together working in one roof. Sad to say since I was trasferred at the ITS, I seldom see them. I miss chatting with them specially sharing our tips on how to lost weight by using a diet pills, working out in the gymn, playing badminton and doing aerobics exercise every 3 o'clock during Friday sports session. I miss those days.

Map...

This is the Legenda Map. I took this picture last October when I attended an MBUSSP seminar at Subic Freeport, Olongapo City. We stayed at Legenda Hotel and Casino for 2 nights and 3 days. The hotel's setting is not the same as other hotels hence I've learned that Legenda was the former office of US Military Men at the Freeport. The management converted the whole building into a hotel and to accomodate all the tourist visiting the Freeport. When I first saw the hotel I thought it is not that big but when I saw the map, it conquers more than 2 blocks of the entire stretch inside the freeport. Sad to say I can't share some of the photos I've taken cause my USB is infected with virus. sigh!

Infra Development

One of the major trust of the Local Chief Executivein our city is the Infrastructure Development. He is an engineer by profession so no wonder he has a big passion on constructing steel buildings, bridges, roads and water systems. His latest achievement was the asphalting of one of the major road going to the Integrated Transport Station. I've learned that, a lot of project was still on the list to be realized this year. Hmmm... am excited cause it means our city is really improving!

Miss you Gretz!

I miss my buddy Gretz, she is one of my closest pal during our Special Technical Division days. Our ways parted two years ago when I was assigned to act as Admin In-Charge at the Overland Terminal and she decided to resign on her work and goes to Dubai. Last December, she came home but since her stay only lasted for two weeks I haven't seen her. We just exchange text messages and inform me where to get my pasalubong, wink! To date, she is still working at Dubai as Administrative Assistant, she told me she is enjoying her work and of course she is well compensated. Next month, she will be attending a seminar at a nearby city, she is very excited cause they will be house at a very nice hotel. As she describe it to me, the hotel is as beautiful as Sahara hotel which her boss used to play casino. She promised to take a lot of photos so that she can share the beauty of the place.

Bump It...

Bump cars, is one hobby that my youngest brother can't get off. Every time we have a chance to visit Davao city, Bump Car Station at SM city will be on our list of destination. He used to convinced me to try riding on it but I refuse cause I don't know how to operate the car. My nieces and nephew enjoyed riding it specially when their dad used to collide the cars. A lot of teenagers are addicted to it. If you're planning to visit SM bump car station on Friday be sure to come early or else you'll wait hours cause it full pack.
