It Smelled Like Coffee

I’m back to my coffee drinking mode. Here at a coffee shop along F. Ramos St. I patiently waited for my brother Lester to get off from his duty at a government hospital. I missed this joint for several months already. Somehow, I was drawn back to the loving aroma of coffee.I thought it was coffee. [ READ MORE ]

His Name Is Rusty, He Was A…

Across a TV station, a few blocks off the major thoroughfare, and after the Kamuning flyover, we were brought by a taxi driver to a known stripping joint, a club where men perform on-stage with nothing more than just their smiles.

Fly, Touch Down, Taxi, Hotel

The plane touched down at 6pm. Tuesday Feb 19. I availed of the airport taxi service after claiming my handbag from the carousel.

The Bus Trip to Bacolod

I’m in Bacolod City once again. This trip is all about working my ass off and making a big ass of my self. The urgency to conduct client calls and visits to prospect buyers in the City of Smiles had left me no option but to go to Negros Occidental and get things done. That [ READ MORE ]

Turning One, Four to GO

In a few minutes, I will be flying back to Cebu and close my first year of employment in Merck.   I started working in the sales and marketing last February 9, 2007 and it was a hell of a roller-coaster ride for me. But in general, the job is like no other. Suffice to [ READ MORE ]

Ash Mercredi in Iloilo

For the start of the Roman Catholic’s Lenten season, I decided to take the afternoon flight to Iloilo City. It’s not because I wanted to have my wrinkled forehead marked with cinder but because of my scheduled visit to my distributor in the area. Iloilo’s New Airport Building I just had to. My distributor would [ READ MORE ]
