15-day vacation in bicol

Take a stride to the Region's wonders.

1. black and white sand beaches

all in a day's work

Working in an office with only 4 employees( boss included) has its own quirks and frenzy moments. Some of the people that comes in and out of the office have angelic and ethereal faces, some seemed very much baffled with problems while some are frequent phone callers. Others always bargains for the price of services, while most would like to solve a concern outrightly.

Here are some funny instances in the office:

boss: (talking to her sec.) have you already filed this motion for reconsideration?

phone rings. secretary answers the phone...

sec : ( talking to the caller on the other line) law office good morning. yes sir, how may i help you?

boss ( thought that his secretary is talking to her): hmmm. ok

sec: yes sir ( talking with the caller on the line)

boss: yes, ok

sec: ok sir. ( still talking with the caller)

boss: hmmm... ok


boss and sec. seems that they'd understood each other by the mere say of yes three times before the end of the call.

another...

sir: (removing the files from his attache case when he found out that the menu list of the restaurant that he'd eaten his lunch was inside a big brown envelope) How come that this menu list was placed here?

legal researcher....

a legal researcher was interviewing one time a police person charged with concubinage. The interviewee was asked what kind of support he'll give.

legal researcher: sir, what is the manner of support would you like to place here in the affidavit?

police: the support

legal researcher: sir, in what manner are you going to provide the support?

police: yes, the support

legal researcher: sir, what will I place here?

police: ah, state there that 4k will be deducted from my
salary to be given in the form of check to the person that il give my support

legal researcher: hmmm... ok sir, under whose name will the check be issued?

police: hmmm... yes... ok

legal researcher: sir, what name will appear in the check?

police: (mentioned a name)

legal researcher: (cannot understand what he said) kindly spell it sir.

police: ok.. it is z ...x...u...i... (very far from the pronunciation of the name given)

legal researcher: ok sir, kindly write it down instead.

police: (murmurs) hmmm... it is...( thinking)....( utters a name and writes it down)

legal researcher: ok sir, what is the nature of your work?

police: am a traffic

legal researcher: traffic what sir? could you please write it down?

police: (writes in the paper the word "traffic" and then erase it... then write again traffic...then said) just place in there traffic

legal researcher: ok sir, kindly wait for your documents.

police: ok, thanks.

another one:

phone rings 5x. sec. answered the calls and noted, that all those came from one person who is looking for the boss.

phone rings the 6th time:

sec: law office good afternoon. yes mam?

caller: is sir there?

sec: sorry mam. sir is not around.

( then suddenly, sir would talked out loud with his clients or employees.. hehehe.. you know what i mean.).

PERSONALS

Am now living without the guidance of someone whom I considered the reason of my existence. Plans cluttered, spirit much in vexed, a body that is now used to too much eating and an attitude that houses negativism and skepticism. I don't know if God had decided too early for these things to happen. Am still very much unprepared. Feels like am in the wilderness, that though, the city is just a stone's throw away, I still find it hard to get there.

I love you... I love you... I love you... You often told me and reminded me that am the one whom you preferred to live with when you're old. And I persevered hard at that time coz I know when I got successful, there's one person who'll be twice as happy of my victory. Those years may seem the hardest times if I'll analyze and compare things, but why is it that I considered those as nothing but just a part of life. Everyday, during those times, I always have the reason to smile, to pray and to do things willingly. Now, even if there's just a small problem, seems that am carrying the world at my back. Things indeed had changed in great proportion.

I hope you are very much at peace now with the One who is the Giver of Life. You have now find eternal rest where you can never experience pain. We may not be with you physically now, but rest assured that we'll always be the children that you've been very proud of. We will continue the things that you've started and we'll never forget the values that you've accustomed as. As I stay here in our house, do singlehandedly the things that we onced shared to do, I appreciate you more and more.

Nothing compares to you - VERY UNSELFISH... FORGIVING... EVER PATIENT... EVER LOVING...

HOPE THOSE HUGS AND KISSES WHEN WERE TOGETHER HAVE CAUSED YOU MUCH HAPPINESS FOR THOSE ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT I CAN GIVE YOU AT THAT TIME.

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH MAMA!!! YOU'LL FOREVER BE HERE IN OUR HEART AND IN OUR MIND!!!

LORD, I KNOW SHE'S WITH YOU NOW. HER LONG WAIT TO SEE YOU IS OVER. KINDLY TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER THERE SO WE CAN MEET HER SOON. THANKS.

***Its better to be at peace with self than to be at peace with others and have hostility within.***

At first I'm blind, now I see

At first, I thought things will always be done as planned. That as long as your intention is good, and what you're doing and thinking is good, you'll always accomplish the end that you'd once hoped for. That when you do not meddle on other people's business, you'll be free from criticisms and other people's problems.

Now, when you do not meddle on other people's lives, they'd think that you're a naive individual who knows nothing about the world. When you asked a lot of questions, they'd think that you're a stupid fool. When you don't ask, they'll regard you as supercillious. When you show to them that you can live on your own, they'll say that am here for you. (All words just ended in the mouth) excuse me, where are you people?

Looking at the glass self, you'll see that your only companion is you. You ponder and think that things are not always what it seems. That there's a certain reality and unleashed thought behind every act. And that naivety is never an excuse to commit a wrong act. And that everything must be acted upon with reason.

CWC


Camsur Watersports Complex is a new tourist spot for water lovers. It features an authentic lake good for wakeboarding, kneeboarding, skiing and wakeskating. With the very cold and windy February monsoon, having a visit to this place is indeed a great and exciting vests. Situated in Cadlan, Pili Camarines Sur, it houses a 6- tower cable system with a man made island at the center. There's also game rooms, good for air hockey, basketball, pool and foosball. To make your stay worth all the enjoyment and expenses at affordable prices, there are cabana rental lodges that can accomodate your whole family in just a thousand pesos per night. There's also motorcycles for rent for easy, fast and complete scenic view of the ecopark. Restaurants and bars also offers an array of entrees.

If you want to have your body feel relaxed and free from skin impurities, try Nature spa in this place. It'll give you an exhilarating feeling that you'll treasure for lifetime.

a tribute to someone

Sometimes, I must forget all the memories, think as if I'd lived without her and wake each morning with glee as if she's not on my side for twenty-two years. But, sometimes, I would think that she's just alive, - always there to fill up the emptiness in me, hug me, kiss me, scold me (often), correct all my errors (may it be grammatical or my unthinking actions).

She's the only person I can call mine. She insisted to live coz she still wanted to guide us until we're all financially stable and have our own families. She knows that her guidance is direly needed all throughout. And we, as her children, will always be needing her coz she's the only one who can fill up our emotional needs. She still had a lot of plans, a very lot that some ended unfinished. Anyway, her prime purpose in life was fulfilled and that is- to raise us up and give us education that will make us live independently for ourselves.

I love her so much. Her life had been well spent coz she gave us all that she can afford to give while she's still with us without any grudges nor complaints, just all gratefullness and thanksgiving.
