Thank you to my family and for the birthday greetings from my friends here and around the world !!!
And most of all from mis compañeros en Instituto Cervantes.. Thank you for sharing this special day with me !!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! GRACIAS !!!! KAM SA HAM NIDA !!!

Last week I finished my Curso 8 studies at Instituto Cervantes we(me & my classmates) planned out a special gift for our dear professor Señor Salvador so, we decided to do a photo ops with him wearing our best smile and pose we even invited our previous classmates Patrick and Merve to join. We also planned a special dinner on our last day of class following the suggestion of Señor Budj that it's best to have dinner at Golden Fortune in Kalaw Street near the school. It was the best dinner! We all enjoyed the heavy meal at a reasonable price after that we hit the streets of Malate and found Music 21.. the hidden talents of my fellow classmates was unleashed and we all enjoyed constant laughter continuous photo ops!
Nos vemos en Curso 9 !!!




More over, I was also called by Thomson Reuters for an interview which also went very well and I was able to attend the MBA World Tour at Makati Shangrila Hotel with Shiela and Patrick. Not to mention the new bracelet that Merve gave to me from Turkey with the "Evil Eye" she said that in Turkey it is often worn in different form as a protection from you and other people. Thanks Merve!!!!
I also dropped by the 8th International Bazaar at PICC forum in which I was really disappointed for the early closing of some booths. Hmm.. next time I should really go early !

It was also a week of learning new things for me.. I was overwhelmed with the amount of information that I needed to learn in order for me to do my Case Analysis Assignments so, I asked the help of experts Ate May, Andrea and Ms. Evelyn to whom I am very Thankful for giving me insights, advice and suggestions. And so far I am having a great and challenging time studying, researching and making presentations. I just finished everything about an hour ago. Hehehe !!!

This week is my 3rd week at MBA school and still I am getting acquainted with the school environment and the people around me.. and the mystery makes it more exciting for me.

Enjoy !!!

October was full of unexpected happenings... one typhoon after the other, prices of food and gasoline going up...all i can say is that we (my family) are very thankful that we are all safe.

Firstly, I registered for my MBA class just in the nick of time and will start next week Monday. I have been doing some advance reading and studying while watching t.v. which means that I am "hardLY" studying. tsk tsk tsk! good luck to me! hehehe!

I  managed to get a passing grade (which means I almost did not... gosh! tsk tsk tsk !!!) to move up to Curso 7 of my Spanish class and now I am at Curso 8 and still having a hard time using the verb tenses properly.  Hmm... but I am really having a great time in class not to mention all the chismis that we have been doing.  And I was happy to watch some movies from Pelicula, Pelikula and Italian Film Festival I got a chance to meet up with old friends that I haven't seen in a long time and recruited a newbie "belle" who also caught the movie festival virus. Hehehe!!!  I missed Cinemanila though...
I also registered to take the DELE test for acseso 1 which will be on November 14 and volunteered for a trial exam for acseso 2 last week Wednesday which I think I screwed up. Tsk tsk tsk !!! hehehe!

I did some picture taking of my lumbar spine cause it was hurting for some time now and my dear doctor said that I am just fine she gave me meds and I think the meds are really strong and won't let me go to sleep! gosh!

Michelle and James also spared some time to meet me and my mother for dinner. It's so nice to talk and see them... see you again soon.

And of course how can I forget about Kazuto's bday! Happy Birthday dear !!!! and many more birthdays to come! ( I know that your birthday is on November 5..hehehe!!! )
                             
                              From: Kazuto
                              Hello. Thank you for E-mailing. However, it is not November 4 and November 5 is my birthday in me.

Time flies so fast.... it's already November and for all you know it will be December and here comes another year again.
I am just waiting for more surprises to come... and I can't wait ... see yah around everyone !!! :-)

Finally ! the internet is back and I am going to update everyone soon.. I just want you all to know that we are all fine. Thank you for the emails and text messages.

In the meantime, I need to study for my Spanish test tomorrow and do some chores. Take care everyone and be safe.

Since I have 3 days off vacation I was very happy cause I got a lot of time to do my homework and read the new book "Banker to the poor by: Muhammad Yunus" that I just bought at the International Book Fest at SMX Convention Center. Ate May recommended that this book was really good and since I'll be going to business school I should catch up on reading and do a lot of research on business, people and etc. 

Anyway, Shiela called and told me that her flight to Singapore was canceled so, she invited me to go to Lucban, Quezon her hometown together with her friend Albert.  It's been a long time since I last visited Lucban and I will never forget it cause it was Pahiyas Festival the best festival every May. How I miss those days.....
So, we all went to Lucban and planned to go to Hands of Jesus the next morning and have the Sunday mass there. The next day, we all had breakfast and went together to the church and after the mass Albert and I went up the 150 steps to see the huge Jesus Christ statue. I was so happy.

    

                    


And after we went to her Aunt Nora's house to have lunch cause it's their wedding anniversary and after we left for Sampaloc, Quezon for her friend's son 1st birthday party. It was a 30 minute drive from Lucban and the landscape was amazing but the weather was totally different and it was really HOT !!! and after eating we head back home and made plans to go to Taytay Waterfalls the next day but judging from the 6,000ml of Lambanog that I saw I don't think we could go to the waterfalls tomorrow. Anyway, that night Shiela and I just walked around town and had some talk over coffee at Cafe San Luis. And went back home and slept well.

And this morning I just prepared to go home and before leaving I went around town to look around and took photos. Here are some photos I took:

        


    

I went home riding the JAC Liner bus and took me 4 hours to get home cause the bus passed by every small town in Laguna. My neck and ass hurts !!!! Ouchhhh !!!!! All in all I really had a great weekend. I hope all of you had a great weekend too.
