Holi- and Holy Day 2018


One of the most awaited holidays or should I say Holy day is the Lenten week. Some go to their hometown while others travel out of town or country. Some have a staycation at home.

This is a long overdue post but I want to share the highlights of our Holy Week.


We attended the Palm Sunday mass in a nearby church – Sto. Nino Parish Church of Meycauayan, Bulacan.


Since we still have to work until Wednesday, we opted to travel to Nueva Ecija on Thursday early morning. For us to avoid the traffic rush.

We planned to go to the Basilica Minor of Manaoag, Pangasinan. Pero dahil pagod, we canceled at nagpahinga na lang sa bahay.

Friday, we spend the day at home and have lunch at BIL's place.

Saturday, we finally decided to push our plan to Pangasinan and attended the mass in Manaoag. We arrived the place just in time with the first mass of the day at 6 am.

There is no homily only readings from the bible. It was very solemn since the passages were put in hymns. 



Sunday, the last day of a long-week vacation and para masulit, we just stayed at home.

Before the day ends, we dropped at one of the most visited areas in our alma mater – the Sunflower plantation.

It is not where you spent the Holy days but it is how you remember Christ sacrificing himself.

By the way, here are other photos framed during the week-long vacation.

Company Outing: El Pescador Hotel and Resort


El Pescador Hotel and Resort
Last June 13-14, the company held our yearly outing at El Pescador Hotel and Resort in Bolinao, Pangasinan.

The 5-hour drive is tiring because of rough roads in Camiling, Tarlac area due to side-by-side road reconstruction, zigzag roads in Sual and Bani, Pangasinan and few traffic build-ups in some town or palengke.

As soon as we arrived the place, we immediately went to the assigned room in the hotel to take a short nap.

With relaxing instrumental musics like saxophone, I easily fell asleep. I know playing such wind instrument is not easy. You also need to understand the use of additional accessories like synthetic reeds that will alter the range of the music from bass, soprano, alto, tenor and baritone.
