Revisiting Boracay

By -
It was summer of 2004 when I last went to Boracay Island, Aklan so it is such a delight to see that the port conditions (albeit not perfect) have improved.  Well, improved is an understatement really because if you didn't get to experience being delivered by your boat ride straight to the shore where your booked/checked in hotel is at, then you don't know what I'm talking about.

8 years ago, the boat ride (which was 15pesos a ride) from Caticlan to Boracay Island was surprisingly primitive.  If you've worn a rubber shoes and or heels (I know, the latter's highly unlikely but I've seen many surprised tourist before), expect to get those wet as you have to step on the beach water.  But not anymore! Boracay Island now boasts of a decent port.  I have to admit though that I kinda miss the old way.  Why?  You can save a lot of time and money when you're delivered door to door! :)  Anyway, I will post more photos soon.  The photos below are from my Tita's camera.  I forgot my cf card reader back home.  I hope I'd get to encourage you to visit the wonderful places that this country has (like Boracay) and share your experiences on the internet so you can invite people from all over the world to visit, the Philippines. xoxo, Kaye! :)

From Dunkin' Days to Daddy Gabby: A Marketer's Journey and Gratitude

  With Daddy Gabby during the last celebrated anniversary he hosted for me with CDOTC. I passed by a Dunkin Donuts' outlet today and while I was getting my orders taken at the counter, I felt a little pinch in my heart as I remembered my precious time with my marketing mentor, the late Gabby Bacarro (who was NorthMin's Marketing Manager of Golden Era Food Chain Inc.'s Dunkin Donuts at that time) which later was fondly called by everyone as, "Daddy Gabby". It was 2003, I was a freshman at Cagayan de Oro College, when I met him and he looked at me dead in the eye and told me that he wanted me to join Sentrong COCean Theatre and Performing Arts (which would later become Cagayan de Oro Talent Center) and train under him for the guild's branding & communications. I remember that I was totally against it as I was studying a totally unrelated course but Daddy Gabby was relentless.   He'd be zoning countless hours to lecture and quiz me and my friends RJ, B

Brokenhearted On February 2013 :'(

I didn't really plan on writing a blog at this time of the day (it's past 1AM as of this writing), especially that I'm down with flu.  But since I slept late in the afternoon I can't make myself sleep early for the night. I was just planning to jot down my passwords in my secret notebook (it's not so secret now, is it?) but my hands are shaking way too much.  The effect of Salbutamol in my system can be far worse when the dosage is not monitored closely.  Believe me, I don't give a rat's arse with my hands trembling as if I'm nervous of something but then I can't get anything jotted down without affecting my handwriting.  I tell you, it is very difficult to write in such poor state. Oh well, I owe you my readers an update. I wonder how many of you celebrated Chinese New Year?  I'm told that my Mom's side has some Chinese descent but I can't confirm that (and that's way beside my point).  The Chinese culture was showcased around
