37th U.A.E. National Day
I was invited by a researcher (uhm, who's now my fiance) of U.A.E. University's Interactive Robots and Media Laboratory to their 37th National Day Celebration, December 2008. Since it's an Islamic university, the male and female students have separate classrooms, though housed in the same I.T. building. There were speeches delivered by professors and special guests, and films shown made by the students. But the highlight of the show, like in any other U.A.E. celebration, is the singing and dancing. The female students turned rowdy when a singer surprised the audience by emerging from the entrance door (not from backstage), then walked down the aisle singing while Emirati kids stepped on sta

Great Santa Cruz 'Pink Beach' Island
July 2006, my Zambuangeño hosts invited me to go to Great Santa Cruz Island a day after we visited Basilan's Malamawi White Beach. I was still overwhelmed with the fact that I stepped on Basilan territory, and can't believe we will go next to a pink beach.The small por

Kabayan Resort
Summer of 2005, I was asked to host a corporate event. It was Monde Nissin Corporation's beach outing. The person who booked me said that if the event coordinator likes me, I will be given a series of gigs, and all of which will be held in Batangas. I was hesitant at first because I have never hosted a corporate event before, but the thought of an all-expense-paid travel (plus talent fee) was luring.

Backpacker in Boracay
I never included Boracay on my to-go list. The once tropical paradise is now a partyphile's haven. I remember my father describing "a pristine beach with powder-fine white sand, where you can witness foreign tourists sunbathe nude"... This was the 80s, perhaps the time when tourism in Boracay was just picking up. He can also recall generators being used to power the up whole island.Fast-forward two decades... Papa, you should see them laser lights! I bet those generators won't be able to support that. I was saddened with what Boracay has become. I wonder how long will the 'tropical paradise' last. Sigh. Oh well, that's just me.
