Melissa's Despedida

Last Friday was Melissa's last day of work and so we had a beer night out. I didn't really believe that she was going to leave us at work when she chatted me her goodbye. I just knew it was true when I called up Janlac and she said that they are hanging out at Inilog Grill for Melissa's last day.

Melissa and I were not really not that closed at work yet I could say that we already had a strong bonding since we are team mates in our Thursday SMO task, shared common interest like shopping online and shared same birth month. But I am really happy for her since her decision was for her own good also. And I still remember what she said; "we will still be going out together even if we are no longer workmates anymore!".

Fiesta At Work

It’s Kagay-an City Fiesta and we have work. However, our boss treated us for a fiesta lunch here at work. There was beef spaghetti cooked by Angela, Salad made by Sheryl, lechon baboy and manok, and grilled pork. Angela also made fruit punch which was so fruity delicious since she did not put too much gin in it. Everyone had their stomachs full after eating.

Happy Saint Augustine Fiesta Cagayan de Oro!

Happy Birthday Kristo Magno!

Last night along with the KMPH workmates celebrated the birthday of our boss Kristo Magno at Loreto's Resto Grill. Jigs and his team also joined the party. As usual we reserved the Coca Cola room but unfortunately the karaoke doesnt gave score after every song which was supposed to be anticipated by one of our workmate since we bet that he should get a score of 100. But it was a fun night and everyone was drunk except me (just had 2 bottles of San Mig light).

Happy Birthday Kristo Magno!

KMPH Camiguin Island Escapade

May 8, 2009, KMPH Web Solutions celebrated its 2nd Year Anniversary, and as part of the Thanksgiving celebration we went to Camiguin Island. We left Cagayan de Oro at 3:45am in the morning and arrived around 7:30am.


After we arrived at the Benoni Port, my workmates headed to the house in Mambajao and rested, while I dropped by at my grandparent’s house. We were supposed to be going to Mantigue Island that same day in the afternoon but my boss has changed his decision. We spent our celebration at Ardent Hot Spring. We ate lechon and took a deep at the hot water flowing freely in the pool.

In our second day in Camiguin, we spent the whole day to roam around the island and toured the best and mostly visited tourist destinations. First stop was the famous White Island. We rode a boat locally known as “Banca”and reached White Island - and after an hour of bathing and taking pictures we drove back to the main island of Camiguin. Our second stop was at the Walkway. We also took pictures there and bought some souvenirs since there were souvenirs stores in the area. The third stop was the Sunken Cemetery and we just took some pictures of the cross monument from a far since we did not ride a boat to reach the cross. Fourth stop was Santo Niño Cold Spring. We ate our lunch there and plunged at the very cold pool. Fifth stop was Guiob Church also known as Old Church Ruins. There, we enjoyed the nice view and historic place. Lastly, we visited Katibawasan Falls which was just like the Santo Niño Cold Spring. The water in Katibawasan was cold and it really frozen us.


After Katibawasan Falls we drove back to our headquarters which happened to be the house of my boss’s friend. Some of us took a rest while others prepared our dinner. After dinner we uploaded our pictures from our cameras using the Laptop of one of our workmates. We then watched the slide shows of the photos and were very noisy and eager to see each others photos; we laugh and bully each other as we saw the photos.

In our third and last day of the vacation, we left Camiguin Island with our happy faces, for these unforgettable memories in our lives that we have gone to Camiguin Island like real visitors did. We got bonding moments that strengthen our team and the chance to know more of who we are outside the four-wall cafe where we work. A short vacation we truly enjoyed.

Happy 2nd Year Anniversary KMPH!
