the philippines...

just got back from a business trip from cagayan de oro and davao, actually the first time i've been out of metro manila or luzon other than going to boracay or puerto gallera.. the philippines is truly a beautiful country once you step outside of the city.. the city life is so different from the provinces, though cagayan de oro is a city its just so different, people are so laid back there, time seems to last forever, and the pressure doesn't feel so intense.. i've always loved to travel and experience different cultures and people and travelling around the philippines is no exception, experienced some new things and learned new things as well, for example, people in the provinces are so superstitious, as we were driving to have lunch near the sea, i saw a cross in the middle of the road, i asked my key accounts manager why there was a cross in the middle of the road and he said because some one had died in that exact spot..apparently in the provinces where ever someone dies they put a cross on that spot and leave it there for about a week and then after a week they take the cross out and pray that the soul is no longer there.. kind of strange but very unique.. other stories include ghost stories, myths, and magical creatures that are said to be true..

also took a long ass road trip from cagayan de oro to davao which was basically the whole day, was cool though, the drive to davao is beautiful, we drove through the mountains and farms so it was really clean and serene.. unfortunately wasn't able to stay in davao for too long cuz my flight was the next, nevertheless a beautiful city and somewhere i definetly wanna come back to..

overall a great experience, learned a lot of things that you just can't learn in the office and talking with my officemates further accelerated my learning process in the company and in my field work..

last words..
now its back to the grind of the work week.. the beautiful struggle of work and routine..
