We’ve been at Midway Beach Resort located at Initao, Misamis Oriental last Saturday and Sunday. We’ve been there for our company overnight outing. It’s my second time in this resort and whoa!!! It’s still a beautiful, clean, peaceful resort and the white beach Oh boy! Got to be there…

Saturday night, we had our buffet dinner, we brought with us foods like the all time favorite of most Pinoys the lechon, we grilled fish, kinilaw, pansit, pork barbeque and other mouth watering dishes. After the dinner we conduct a small program, there’s a dance number performed by the selected Harvest SEO talented employees, a song number and we had games that night we played 4 games and our group won 1 of them.

Comes Sunday morning, my phone alarm at 6 am, and everybody woke up, then we tour individually the place, we go to the beach, others played poker, others played PS2, and I played Lawn Tennis and hurt my feet while playing because I didn’t wear any shoes… Ohh... man… I can still feel the pain of scratch I had on my left knee until now. Anyway It’s worth it coz’ I enjoyed the game… it is some kind of a work out coz’ I sweat a lot… But what I really enjoyed most is the mini Amazing Race we had… On the game, we run and ate exotic foods like half grilled chicken feet, grilled chicken head, I gulp raw egg and ate pig’s ear eeewww… it’s slimy. We swim, and make bubbles with bubble gums, made a sand castle and the pit stop is the dart board where you need to throw a cherry and a bull’s eye... and our team did it… we won the game and take home 1,500 pesos. Go Orange team. Whoa!!! It was so tiring but we all enjoyed it…

I’m still so tired while writing this and I’m supposed to make a long post but my mind and body we’re both so tired so maybe I take a rest… ciao…

We are the Champion...

If there's one thing we've learned from department store sales, it's that June belongs to dads, grads, and brides. But because the thought of a bride sharing the spotlight is enough to make us weep into our hankie, we're devoting our entire reception hall to weddings and the maniacal showers, parties, and other gift-giving extravaganzas that go with them. The Buzz requests the honor of your presence at this most joyous occasion. Dads and grads, please wait outside.

Regular as clockwork, all kinds of wedding-related queries have begun their annual summer-month ascent. Making an especially large commotion in search are bridal showers. Sure they're every guy's nightmare, with their silly games, chintzy prizes, and the chorus of oohs and aahs but, hey, at least the bride-to-be gets some cool schwag, right? Also marching up the aisle are wedding vows, wedding toasts, and the always handy wedding etiquette . It never hurts to brush up a bit before the big day. Generally speaking, cutting your toenails during the processional is a bit of a faux pas. Ditto wearing a taffeta unitard to church. Anything else, you're on your own.

Whether you are having a June wedding or a Christmas time reception you can find the unique favors you're looking for to compliment it perfectly. Your wedding reception favors can really show your personality and add to your theme.

Just a few days ago Natalie Glebova was an unknown in Search. Funny how a little thing like being crowned Miss Universe can change things. Even before the tiara hit the hairspray, searches on the stunning Canadian had blown past the Buzz B-list and into the rarified air of newly engaged heiresses and notoriously difficult divas. Of course, even though she was the evening's unquestioned winner (she's got the sash to prove it), Miss Glebova's triumph was just one of many search-related stories emanating from the pageant.

Reflecting the Trump-sponsored event's global appeal, Spanish-spellers from around the world sent searches on Miss Universe 2005 up 290%. Also interesting, searches on the pageant were a bit more evenly split between the sexes than we'd have thought -- the ladies accounted for an impressive 42% of queries. North of the border, searches on the contest jumped 489% (not surprising given the winner's Canadian background), and in Thailand, where the event was broadcast, searches jumped 114% and into the country's number two spot overall.

Other queries posting big gains in the Search box were Miss USA, Miss Universe delegates and Jennifer Hawkins -- aka last year's winner from Down Under. And, finally, proving once again that beauty pageant hosts are about as popular in Search as professional bowling announcers, the buzz on shoot-and-miss jokesters Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell remained well below the radar. Hmm, perhaps it's time Regis Philbin threw his top hat back into the ring.

I’m here at the City of Waterfalls, Iligan City. Located at the northwestern coast of Mindanao facing Iligan Bay. It is centrally located in the Visayas-Mindanao domestic market and proximate to the BIMP East AEAN Growth Area. A major component of the Cagayan-Iligan Corridor, the fastest growing regional growth center in Mindanao and one of the priority investment areas in the Philippines. It is the home of the country's steel industry and Mindanao's electric power source.

Just arrived yesterday from Cagayan de Oro for a Family Day Outing of my sister’s company, where she works. It’s a 1.5 to 2 hours travel from Cagayan de Oro by Bus. While on the way going here, I enjoyed the scenic view of the beaches and mountains of western Misamis Oriental. We pass several Municipalities of Misamis Oriental from Opol to Lugait.

This is my second time visiting this place; the first time was in my freshmen year in High School, a field trip. It is very different then and now everything is in progress, it’s pretty much like Cagayan de Oro, 3 or 5 years before in terms of amenities and other recreations and facilities, like their transportation means. Their taxis are the old model type and PU were still operating and their jeepneys are not the typical jeepneys we see in Cagayan de Oro and other cities but what I really like here is the horse carriage which they still use for their means of transportation. I really want to ride on it but unfortunately I didn’t have the time to experienced it because its route were limited within the city proper and my time to spend in this city is also limited for I have works the following day. I also didn’t have the opportunity to glance and visit again the famous Maria Cristina falls.

For the meantime, I will enjoy this day, we’ll be going at Villa Lacida, Linamon, Lanao del Norte the place where the Family Day Outing be held. I am sure they will serve lots of foods and the beach will surely take away the summer heat I feel today.

The saga is complete. Last night I just seen the world premier of the Star Wars (Episode III) - The Revenge of the Sith, and it’s a thumbs up for me, even though I am not a Star Wars fanatic but it captures my attention especially the visual effects of the movie. The two big battles - Anakin against Obi-Wan and the Emperor against Yoda was the highlight of the movie for me. I was really entertained by the two fight scenes. I had only watched the episodes I, II, and this time III – The Revenge of the Sith, the prequels of the total 6 episodes and if this is to be the last big-screen installment of the space opera, damn! I need to watch its other half three parts, the Part IV – New Hope, V – Empire Strikes back and VI – The Return of the Jedi, which was the First to be shown some other years back and I didn’t saw it Ohhh… man! They said you need to watch it because that was the last part of the story. My Star Wars saga was not really complete; I think I need to look for CD’s of the last 3 episodes.

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin and Yoda with there Lightsabers

Revenge of the Sith doesn't really answer any questions to those who are Star wars fanatic, since they know the answers already. Anakin Skywalker is seduced to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader. Chancellor Palpatine is revealed to be Darth Sidious. The Jedi are annihilated. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda go into exile on different planets. The democratic Republic is devoured by the Empire. Instead of answers, what they gained from watching Revenge of the Sith is details. This film, the 6 episodes are like jigsaw puzzles, you can start anywhere and that’s what Lucas did in this movie. He started first on the last three episodes, then last the first three episodes which complete the saga. In this episode Anakin’s wife is pregnant and gave birth to the twins (Lea and Luke) on the last part of the story. Revenge of the Sith features two classic confrontations: Anakin against Obi-Wan and the Emperor against Yoda. We may know how the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel ends, but the thrill here is seeing how it plays out to get to that ending.

While watching the movie, what happens was while Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin’s fight was on the scene, the sounds system of SM cinema 2 was busted, damn!!! And they stopped the movie for a while for around 1-2 minutes. I just said “common this is a premier show and this is what we experienced?” Well anyway everything is under control, it’s just a matter of technical error or something but my Star Wars adventure that night was awesome, it started around 11:30 pm and I got home around 3:00 am. Thanks Tabby for the ticket. Heheheh…

Yesterday was our Barangay fiesta, and oh boy! My mom prepared a lot of foods, bad news for those on a diet and health conscious people (hehehe… can’t eat too much). We slaughtered a pig (ewww…) but I did not join in slaughtering. I can’t stand on it, I am an animal lover. Well anyway it is a Filipino tradition every fiesta, it’s a thanks giving to the patron saint San Isidro Labrador for a prosperous year and life.


On that day, around 6 in the morning while I’m still on my bed, snoring, I have had a dozen of visitors arrived at home, my Officemates, they’re from the graveyard shift schedule that time that’s why they came so early ‘coz they just off from work at 5 am. Thanks to my mom, she cooked instantly for my visitor’s breakfast. After their breakfast I bought two bottles of Long neck tanduay rhum hmm… Too early to drink hard liquor but those people are used to drink very early. I turned on the VCD player and let them sing the videoke until 12 noon, and we ate for lunch after. Anyway that was fun, we sang on the videoke the whole morning and my visitors got drank so early.

Ahh man!!! I just forgot to attend the baptismal of Roniel’s son, whom I promised to be one of the godfather and I forgot about it, ohh boy! I think I need some explanation to my friend Roniel. Later that day, other visitors and relatives came, until night came 7pm, I feel so tired from the day’s event and I must sleep to rest. But to my surprise I sleep so tightly that I forgot again to watch the grand final showdown of the much awaited Search for the Star in A Million of abs-cbn network. Damn! I missed it… But thanks! one of my two bet finalist from Iligan and Bohol, Nikki Baculod and Jerome Sala, the latter won as a Grand Champion, a kababayan of my father. Boholanos are such talented person. Speaking of Bohol, lots of fiestas are celebrated this month there. It’s been four years since my last visit of the place, hope within this month I can go visit the place again, my father’s hometown. Viva Sr. San Isidro Labrador!!!
