A blog series about my in-country assignment to Makassar for IBM Corporate Service Corp. Follow along https://www-146.ibm.com/corporateservicecorps/ #ibmcsc #teamindonesia3 I am home (in Manila) for a week now, but I still think and remember the great memories and experiences I had in Indonesia with my team – and all other people I met in Jakarta and […]
Good Morning Beijing! It was officially our first day in Beijing. I cannot remember if we actually slept that night. When we arrived in the hotel, we were still awake at 4:00AM but we had to get up and eat heavy breakfast for today’s trip. We were planning to visit the Temple of Heaven which is […]
Kung Hei Fat Choi! Kiong Hee Huat Tsai or Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin) and Gong Hey Fat Choy (Cantonese)! Holiday Inn Express, Beijing taken using my Dell Streak 😉 It is the perfect time for me to start my series of blog posts about my trip to Beijing. It has been 5 months since we landed […]
First, let me start this post with an apology. I know you have landed to this page to get an idea on how to plan your itinerary. Our trip was not very well planned, so we were only able to see and visit the most famous spots in Ilocos. But before you leave this page, […]

Day 1 in Coron was spent at the Bacu Beach and Hot Spring. There are no beach near the area – the sea is just 10 minute walk but the area serves as a port for boats and not “swimmable”. So we were charged Php100 per person by the tricycle who took us both to […]
I thought the Coron, Palawan trip would not push through, but it did and I was glad. Now, I am still missing the peaceful and simple life in Coron. My friend did all the planning and reservation. I just paid whatever amount my friend has set for this vacation. We flew from Manila to Busuangga […]
Apologies.. My reviews are coming in like an installment plan. I have alot of pending reviews to write and blog about. I have to finish my Hong Kong write-up first and hoping that I would be able to write recent entries by tom. So Day 5 is the last day of our Hong Kong trip. […]
Let’s now go to Macau! You may have had enough of Hong Kong in my 3 blog entries. Morning of day 4, again we woke up at 6:00 AM and left the hotel at around 8:00 AM. Early to bed, early to rise.. but nope. We always find ourselves crawling into our beds for 3 […]
