Sidetrip to Benedictine Monks' (Monastery of the Transfiguration) Guest House

By -
The Monastery of the Transfiguration may be one of the most famous
if not the most famous destination in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.
I didn't get to take photos of the famed church inside because it was already dark 
(we got to the old church way up top, given that we couldn't see the road signs
but just in case you get to visit and so you won't get confused,
once you get to their gate, a guard will most likely ask you to halt for security check.  
Then, take the first left and just follow the road.  You won't miss the church's famed architectural structure).

























On my way out while taking photos, I noticed a gold statue as if watching the front door.
I took a closer look and found this Non-Catholic idol.
I wonder why they have a Buddhist idol.
Feel free to comment below so I'd know what are your thoughts on this. ;)

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
