I hope I can blame our intermittent internet connection, but I have to admit, this greeting has long been overdue. 😁

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Burikit!
I found our first ever correspondence since you migrated to the US.  Can you imagine?!  This letter is now 11 years old!
But our friendship has started waaaay beyond those years.




It was when we were in Grade 4 (or 3?) that we started chasing each other kay mamuklas ta ug sayal and then it evolved to petty quarrels ala iring ug iro, bahaw-bahaw sa barracks in the airbase, and the rest is history... 😝

Apart from the one I have with my family, ours seems to be the longest relationship I've ever had.

This entry would serve as a simple Thank You for sticking with me even though I was the type na super selosa, sumpungin and maldita (hmmm unsa pa kaha?) when we were young.

Thank you for the unwavering support despite the thousands of miles of separation.  Though our communication has become less, I am assured that you are still there (and am for you).

Note that I've always valued and appreciated the time, the advises you give me, the short exchanges of messages every now and then.

The moment I turned 30, I realized that time is running short so I vowed to make good memories year by year.  After all, they say life begins at 30!

I wish it will hold true to you too!  May you and your family be more blessed with healthy bodies and spirit.
May you always stay humble (thank you for that) and simple~

Missing you nah!  And again, salamat andiyan ka pag kailangan kita 

P.S. I've never forgotten your birthday hap!  Na late lang gyud ng bonggang-bongga.

I wub yah! 😘

almost 3 decades now (sus akong dagway)

 Just behind Best Western Sand Bar Resort, Isla Romantica is a small chunk of Island, more or less around 100 sqm in land area, developed and managed by an old guy named Manong Ben. (Credits to Emil Mar for this video) How to get there: Take a multicab ride from the city proper of Lapu-lapu to Cordova.  The fare is Php 10.00 only.  You alight at the main town center of Cordova and arrange for a sikad to Alegria.  Fare is also at Php 10.00.  Tell the sikad driver to drop you off at the corner of Agila Resort and from there, you walk up unto the shoreline.  A small pump boat (pre-arranged) will wait for you.  Boat ride is Php 50.00 (round trip). By the way, you also have to inform Manong Ben that you would want to go there in this particular date and time. ISLA ROMANTICA CTO: Emil Mar How the name came about?  The island has no electricity hence making it a very attractive site for lovers to meet and relax or do something else during nig

Lexmark: A Company Review

The decision to leave Lexmark will remain to be a pivotal part of my working life.  Was I able to establish a career in there?  No.  Had I imagined myself establishing a career in there?  In one way or another, yes.  Lexmark has set the bar high so much that where ever I will go, it will serve as a benchmark on my future choice of companies.  Leaving the company was a suicidal decision because I was saying goodbye to a good employer with nowhere to go and no company to transfer to. What makes Lexmark stand out from the rest?  Here are my reasons: A Convenient Hiring and On-boarding Process.   Once you get identified for the position, a background investigation is conducted.  After passing such, the company makes the job offer and at the same time provide you a list of items required to prepare you for the on-boarding process.  My second on-boarding process took faster than the first.  I guess this depends on how urgent you are needed by the hiring manager.  The second
