A Taste Of Nuvali/Paseo




"Robbed"

Wednesday. A minute just before the safest place on earth.

And we were robbed. Of time. Of resources. Lots of fear. Of hopelessness.

And it was reported. Bureaucracy. A different justice. Not karma. But waiting.

But still fearing to go out. Being robbed.

Run By The Numbers

I am watching now a youtube video about "loving your work" and the speaker has just said about "run by the numbers" or our world is run by the numbers.

And it is exactly true. We wake up at 5 am and our time is up at about 6 to be able to ride the bus or our own vehicle to our workplace. At about 10 minutes of our work we crunched the time in order to have that coffee while reading our junks of emails. And somehow we lost about an hour. Slave by the numbers.

Sales people are like that. Quotas. Prices. Sales. And their life is determined by how many "values" or price they have add up to the company. And so are we. We define our life when we are "in progress" when we can afford such kind of house worth something of a number. We pride ourselves as successful when we have investments of suck kind of value.

But in the end we are slaves of numbers. Of getting most of the life and not thinking that somehow or definitely those are meaningless unless we give meaning to them. RIGHT NOW!

Let us use our time and money on meaningful coffee table conversation. Let us spend our weekends on family. Let us enjoy life.

And prove that we are not run by the numbers. We are the users of the numbers!

MGM!!!


I will never forgive myself if my visit for a vacation in the Philippines, I will not eat lomi at MGM..and I just did..fabulous noodles in which a truly Batangueno blood will only understand!



In Lipa City


The next get-away was with my pamangkins once again..In Lipa City at SM and we ate at the Korean corner and a baby back's rib restaurant..Truly amazing at a very reasonable price..








With My Pamangkins


This was the next day after my arrival last December in the Philippines. And of course my very first treat was with my mother and Ate and the second was definitely with my nephews!








First Taste


First of all thanks to Ate Glady ( for her car) and Inay and ate Arlyn who were the people at the NAIA to welcome me upon arrival. And we went to Alabang where Kuya Efren's car was waiting and we ate at the Gilligan's. My first taste of pork and beer!! Thanks God!

This was last December.





Revisiting My Visit


December 2 at about 8 PM I was at the Dammam Airport and was so excited to go home..unfortunately my flight at around 11 PM was cancelled and I have to wait another 3 hours from 11 pm to board the airplane bound to Manila.

Thanks to my coffee companion and a fellow kabayan from Quezon whom I met at the airport with the same flight and my waiting hours seemed to be less than the actual.




It Begins Now

 I am now here in Batangas City. My hometown. My city. That never sleeps. I have myself and my mother. She is 83 now. And I am turning 47 th...
