been to romblon :)

March 18, 2009 erikray 1 comment

while romblon was never in my “to go to” list, i still felt a certain excitement at the chance of visiting this island province. romblon is the philippines’ leading producer of high-quality marble, which, according to wikipedia, is comparable with the marble produced by italy. nope wasn’t excited because of the marble. not planning of building a monument. well, at least not yet. :p

fly seair... :)

we were heading to the municipality of calatrava in tablas island. tablas is only 45 minutes by light aircraft. riding a 32-seater donier 328 aircraft instead of the usual airbus may be a big reason why i was dying to take the trip. i really did not know what to expect in romblon so its great that just the flight would make the trip worth taking. :D

a series of unfortunately bad events

March 5, 2009 erikray 1 comment

as i write this, i am in the slow, tedious process of recovering from what could possibly be the worst 5 days ever. some events happened because i was careless and stupid. others just plain bad luck (or i was just really stupid. hehehe)

last friday, i was just about ready to pack my bags and spend my weekend with my brothers in manila when i got a “rush assignment.” wait a minute, rush may be a bit of an understatement. i needed to make a video (from concept until final product) by sunday afternoon. tuesday would have been fine but i had on official trip on monday and tuesday in iloilo. i wanted to make a separate blog entry about iloilo but i absolutely have nothing to say about it. didn’t really go anywhere but the farmers’ fields , SM City mall, and the hotel.

anyway, back to the story – rush assignment. this isn’t even part of the bad things that happened yet.
