A glimpse of Baguio from the bus...

A province on top of the mountains...

More houses at this side...

Wasn't able to take pictures much from here..

--Walking from Wright Park to The Mansion--

Greens, greens, lots of greens....

Am not sure kung pond ito, after the somewhat garden above, this comes after..

--From Mines View Park --

Parang nasa tuktok me ng bundok...what more kung nasa highest peak me nakatayo noh?

Isang talon lang, mahahawakan ko na ang mga clouds...

Good for soothing the eyes from the metro sceneries..

At Last!!! Baguio for Matlab peeps!!!

Hiyee!!! Been quiet for sometime...la me entry for the whole month of October..sabi ko pa naman sa sarili ko nung nagstart me magblog na every month, I want to post kahit one entry lang...nung nakaraang month kasi, busy talaga at wala me mailagay na worth sharing...it was all about me, and me, and me....

Anyways, Im back and we just got back from our Baguio trip..we means, me and my Matlab family..sa wakas, natuloy din ang matagal ng plano ng Lab to go up and visit Baguio..thanks to the change in working sched in Hicap, we finally pushed through with the plan, hehehehe.....Sobrang enjoy kami dun kahit sobrang pagod...See pics below for our adventure =)

Imagine, almost all people from Matlab went to Baguio...dame noh..buti na lang may ibang hindi sumama kaya no problem sa mga required analysis nung wala kame, hehehe...

Waiting for our ride to start our pasyal itinerary...

First stop...Wright Park!!

Stairs connecting Wright Park to The Mansion..kala ko nung una, yakang yaka, after ng ilang steps, pagod na me..at gustong gusto ko na maabot ang pinaka end ng hagdan, hehehe....

This is what you'll see when you reach the top of that not too long but tiring stairs from Wright Park..

On the way to The Mansion, while walking feeling the cold breeze, you will pass by these green sceneries..

Sa PMA (Philippine Military Academy) naman kami sumugod after...

Tam-awan Village naman ang sunod na visit namin...

Next stop is Baguio Cathedral....

Kahit exhausted na, biking at sailing sa Burnham Park....

We went back to our temporary home in Baguio very tired but very happy and full of stories to share for the experience that we have...Bago magpahinga, magposing muna...

Its time to head home the next day....

Sarap ng Baguio trip na ito...Susunod?! Puerto Galera...hmmm Bora?! =) Abangan!!!

Share ko lang...

Medyo tagal din bago me nakapagpost ulit. Mag-end of September na pero dalawa pa lang yung posts ko. Naging busy talaga sa work, maganda yun at natigil na yung mga pag-iisip ko ng mga bagay-bagay na nakakapagpalungkot at nakakapagpainis, kung saan gusto ko ng mag-give up.


Generally, Im happy with my life..siguro sabi ko lang yun. I wanted to buy one book entitled "How to be Really, Really, Really, Really Happy". Am not sure kung apat na beses inulit yung "Really" basta am sure na paulit ulit yun. Gusto ko try kung maging effective ba sa akin yun..


Ang gusto ko lang naman talaga gawin ay share yung lines below. A friend forwarded me this:


For all the negative things that we have to say to ourselves, GOD has a positive answer for it:
1. You say: It's impossible, God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27)
2. You say: Im too tired, God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28)
3. You say: Nobody really loves me, God says: I love you (John 3:16)
4. You say: I can't do it, God says: I can do all things (Phi 4:13)
5. You say: I feel alone, God says: I will never leave you or forsake you (Heb 13:5)
6. You say: I'm afraid, God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear (2Tim 1:7)


I just think of those lines at times na nawawala me sa focus ko. It helped me not wholly but it's good to remember that there is always positive for negative things that I think and feel at times...

Certified Chromatographer =)

Last week, I had the chance to attend one of our suppliers acitivity, Chrom Club launching and to hear talks about Gas Chromatography, GC. GC is one of the equipment I'm using at the lab. The whole day activity was held as Dusit Hotel in Makati. Syempre, kahit dami urgent sa work, go pa rin para naman maiba, though siyempre sayang yung isang araw to complete some urgent items to be finished at work.

Anyways, hindi naman nasayang yung araw na yun. In fact sobrang natuwa ako nun since ang dami kong natutunan pati dami freebies, ahehehe...Kakatuwa yung tawag nila sa mga gumagamit ng GC, mga "chromatographers". Bah, gagawin daw nila kaming consultants in the field of chromatography in the Philippines? Nakaka-henhance dba?

The day before the seminar, we were talking if food will be free. Tama nga free nga yung snacks. Look at what we ate during the morning break..Really heavy snacks: lasagna with toasted bread, tsaka sosyal na grass, ay este, fresh salad greens with olive oil and vinegar...with champagne pa yan ha...

I got this cute teddy bear for asking "What should I do if I want to switch from using Helium gas as carrier to Hydrogen gas?" O diba, kahit sumabog yung lab using Hydrogen okay lang, basta may freebie bear lang ako =)

Souveneir pic with fellow chromatographers? hehehe..souveneir lang sa hotel =)

Taken sa elevator, pauwi na kami nito...masayang masaya, busog at puno ng information regarding chromatography

Sa wakas...

Matagal ng pinipilit ni Jamie sa akin na panuorin ang Music and Lyrics (Drew Barrymore & Hugh Grant) at nung weekend, sa wakas, ay napanuod ko na rin..Maganda yung movie, mahilig kasi me sa mga feel good na movies..

Actually, ang mga bida ay naging close at nagkaron ng happy love story dahil sa pagbuo ng kantang "Way back into love". Kaya pala Music ang Lyrics yung title kasi si Alex Fletcher (Hugh) ang gumawa ng Music at si Sophie Fisher (Drew) yung gumawa ng Lyrics. Share ko lang sa mga hindi nakanuod at pati na rin sa mga nakanuod na pero nakalimutan na, hehehe...

Maganda yung kanta na nacompose daw nila, nape-play rin to actually sa radio, malamang narinig niyo na..Share ko lang yung lyrics, yung music, by request na sa akin, hahaha...

Way back into love (Music and Lyrics)

I've been living with a shadow overhead

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

I've been lonely for so long

Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

Just in case I ever need em again someday

I've been setting aside time

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs

I know that it's out there

There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light

Not just somebody just to get me throught the night

I could use some direction

And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart again

I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real

Or if anybody feels the way I feel

I need inspiration

Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you

I'm hoping you'll show me what to do

And if you help me to start again

You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Buenas Swerte =)

Today is the last day of our Mexican guest from Guadalajara(GDL). Since last day na nila today, we had lunch out..Hayy, sobrang busog ako kaya hanggang dinner today, hindi na me nakakain. Nag pineapple juice na lang ako para ma-cleanse out yung fats, cholesterol at bad lipids na na-intake ko, lagot ako sa katawan ko kasi eh, hehehe...

Teka, parang ako yung nasiyahan dun sa lunch ah, hindi yung mga guests, ahehehe...Masaya kami kasi si Jose, yung taga Matlab din from GDL ay matapang magtry ng kahit anong pagkain. Ang dami ngang order na pagkain, may bulalo, sisig, adobong pusit, lechon kawali, chopsuey, grilled tuna at sweet and sour lapu-lapu..o dba, sabi ko naman sa inyo ang dami eh, kaya lang sayang, hindi ko nakunan ng picture yung mga yun..kakahiya naman kaya, nandun ako sa malapit sa mga mexicano..hihihi..

Anyways, back to Jose, nakakatuwa siya kasi kumuha siya ng tissue sabay bunot ng ballpen at pinalista sa akin yung pangalan ng mga pagkain, tapos sulat naman niya yung equivalent ng ganung dish na mexican..Isa pang ikinatuwa ko ay nung almost lahat tapos ng kumain at nagkukuwentuhan na lang, kumuha pa siya ng lechon kawali at sumubo pa bago nagsitayuan para bumalik na sa work, hehehe...Namiss ko tuloy si Abi =( Naisip ko, mahilig pala tlaga siya kumain, o gusto niya lang tlaga try ang lahat kaya early this week mejo sinamaan na siya ng tyan since try siya ng try ng iba't ibang pagkain nung weekend...


Matagal ko na rin winish na sana matapos na yung training ko with Jose, siguro dahil mas maraming work, kaya kakapagod but I feel bad na last day na nila ngayon. Nalungkot ako nung we had to say bye bye na..Sobrang bait kasi niya at matulungin..At tsaka it feels good to have interaction again with other people, I mean exchanging technical knowledge(technical person ba ako?) with experts...nabuhay ulit ang malapit ng maging stagnant na brain ko..during the training I again felt that I loved my job, hindi ko na kasi naramdaman yun lately...


And one more thing that made me happy is I learned more than I know before of Mexican culture..

Have to take a souveneir with them kaya niyakag namin Jose (checkered polo) and Ramon (black shirt) sa Matlab office for picture taking =)

One more please...

Pwede bang wala kaming pic?! Meron din syempre, kinapalan ko lang mukha ko magpicture habang nasa sasakyan ni Sir Roger (isa sa mga manager ng department namin) nung pabalik na kami after lunch...

Mas lalong kapal muks pa nung nagpakuha ako kay Ma'am Sha (supervisor ng section namin), hihihihi...
