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!

Tatak Environmentalist: One Shirt.One Tree Project

CDO Bloggers supports the Tatak Environmentalist, One Shirt.One Tree Project. What is great about this project is that for P250.00 worth of nice shirt that you buy, you get to plant a tree. A very unique way of helping the environment, preserve nature and prevent future calamities.
The launching was held at OIC Parking lot, Cagayan de Oro City, August 22, 2009 at 7pm. Among the performers were Thoughts And Notions, Nobelista Pasta, Tabularaza, Amplified and a whole lot more.

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!

Meeting Sen. Kiko Pangilinan

Yesterday, along with the CDObloggers I finally got the chance to meet Senator Kiko Pangilinan upclose. We were invited to witness the Department of Agrarian Reform’s multi-sectoral meeting participated by different non-government organizations (NGOs) coming from Bukidnon, Misamis oriental and other provinces of Region 10. Some of the participants were also awarded land titles at Pryce Plaza Hotel which forms part as the highlight during the event. After the awarding of titles we were also given a chance to meet and post for a souvenir group picture with the good senator Senator Kiko Pangilinan.
