Tungod sa Ungo

Dili gyud ko ganahan muinom pero ambot ngano nga gabii kay nahubog ko pero wala ko kainom. I was in Medellin yesterday and when I am on a trip I always make sure that I sleep while mobiling. But last night, on our way home, nalingaw ko sa istorya nga mga ungo-ungo ni Sir Sam. Hay! Mao nga duha ka hugna ang akong pag-suka...

medellin, a rustic town

more than just a town

in Medellin, we had a ground breaking ceremony of Martin Salimbangon's Training Center, then we head to their complex for various project donations. I saw Vera there. Then, last stop was in Medellin National High School for a school building inauguration.

More trips

Last holy week, I was in Malapascua Island for the very first Mayor Sun J. Shimura Beach Volley Open. It was actually my first time to be there and despite the fact that I have phobia crossing bodies of water, I summon all my courage to go with the CEVA officers (the organizers). I uploaded the official photos in my multiply account. But here's some of what i found there and some photo ops, siyempre ang souvenirs...



And here are some of souvenir photos...

I had a very busy week that i wasn't able to check on my online accounts. Plus, our friendster account here in the office has been going nuts coz we could not log-in. Instead, we are directed to somebody else account (hahahaha) where we can access his/her messages and all... and so I did not dare to check my account.

Last March 12 and 13, I went to Bantayan Island for various projects. We inaugurated classrooms and roads, turned-over vehicles to towns, and launched the ECCD.

Despite the fact that I was working, it was like a short vacation for me. Just seeing the beaches, seeing new faces, going to Bantayan's dried fish market and going home with two bottles of dayok (fish intestine, salted) is already a great summer vacation in the middle of work. Mabaw ra man pud gud ko og kalipay!

I saw a lot of happy faces and some tears. I even met a fellow Upian, Jane Lao, who was a Gurong Pahinungod assigned in Patao National High School. I was so happy to see her even though we are just batch mates and not really that close. I actually quoted her in one of my stories.

I was actually planning to place some of the photos in my multiply account but did not find the time to do so. Anyways, here are some:

Nindot ang isla sa Bantayan. Mingaw and you would feel nostalgic... It was actually my third time to visit the island but all official trips. I wish that I could go back there having my own time. Kuyog niya ta Yotchie ha?
