A day at the Hot and Boiling Lake Agco

By -

***
About 100 meters from Lake Agco Mahomanoy Spring Resort
is Lake Agco (inside the premise of
the Sacred Tribal and Ancestral Grounds of the Manobos).
A hot and boiling sulfuric lake at the foot of  the infamous volcano Mount Apo.
The locals said that the heat in Lake Agco is said to be from the volcano's vent.

Entrance fee is Php 10.00 as the sign says :)

Blue!  Yes., the puppy's name is Blue :)




I don't have any idea why it is fenced and marked"holy".
I wish the place had trivia of sorts so tourists would know.

Tree ferns abound the area.
The base of the tree fern's trunk are used for planting orchids back in the days.
Today, it has been banned to cut tree ferns as they take many years to grow.



The lake does boil. In one part of the lake, it boils every after 5-10 minutes.

Tree fern
Souvenir items sold just before the entrance of Lake Agco.





**Expect that the trek is slippery, a bit muddy and wet so wear appropriate footwear.
Location: Lake Agco Outpost, Kidapawan-Ilumavis Road, Mount Apo National Park, Kidapawan City, Philippines

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

By -

  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 :'(

By -
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

Grieving better, How?

  Today, last year, at 12:45 AM my Dad passed on in his sleep. His passing sent my family in shock and completely heartbroken, as it was all so sudden. He was excited to go for a long trip.  Dad was fine just before he slept, or so we thought.   I have not been the same person since. How have I been?  I'm getting by.   I'm cruising through this life after losing Dad (and then friends) one day at a time — paying close attention to trigger points so as not to tickle the bp type 2 extreme mood cycles.  Why so? I learned that grief can trigger many different and unexpected emotions.  Any wrong choice will send me to mania or worse, depression.  So you might be wondering as to how I've been coping from losing so many of my loved ones and dear friends last year.   With that in mind, I've listed some of the things I've done myself that might help you too to better cope from losing a loved one: 1) Buy yourself some peace -I found that one very effective way to mourn and cop
