whale shark. butanding. tuki. these are the names by which we know them, the largest extant fish species.my 1st encounter with this so graceful creatures was in february 22, 2009 in the sleepy town of donsol, sorsogon. organized by the local tourism with DENR, they were very specific about rules that need to be respected.… Continue reading suki sa tuki

i never really had it easy growing up. not that we were dirt poor but my family did go through some really rough seas at some point. one thing though that my parents never ever gave up on us was to give us quality education. and for that i would be forever grateful.education is something… Continue reading my vision.
my sister and i are the DIY type when it comes to travel.there is nothing like freely exploring a new place on your own,armed with a map and googled travel tips.and best of all, it helps keep budget to a minimum.planning for the family vacation to puerto princesa and el nido though was a different… Continue reading palawan: eco-tourism done right

It is not a one-way street as interactions always result in a multi-way learning process. Believing in the vision that one way to springboard the Philippines out of poverty… Continue reading devcon bai!
'eh kasi filipino time'. 'filipino time? aw ok hehehe'how often have i heard the said phrases in conversations? and really, it is not (anymore) amusing.it is insulting to say the least.filipinos have been notorious for being late in appointments. the thing though is that this is more likely to happen in our country, OR when… Continue reading Filipino Time
29. September. 2012. DevCon recently got an invite to provide speakers who can share on some requested topics from USJR's IT/CS students and we just couldn't say no.
