Davao Light Turns 60

Yesterday we celebrated Davao Lights' 60th Anniversary. The event was held at The Venue, Davao City's premiere entertainment spot. Food, drinks and booze were offered. Service awardees and retirees were recognized during the activity.

The event was great, but I noticed that something is really different. Maybe because of the absence of our late president/coo Al Aboitiz, who we dearly love, or simply because on some issues that the organization is facing right now.

However, the event was held successfully. Upon entering the party place, drum rolls from one of Davao's cultural artist groups are played. Their performance was also stunning. I think it was some sort of an eagle dance. I was carried by the drum beat number.

I didn't finished the whole program, there is still work the following day. In my experience all events that are held at The Venue always ends with a disco. I don't feel like joining the disco, maybe some other time. I got off early after I consumed my share of food and booze.

September Pix

I took this shots last September 30, 2007 at the Villa Cristina Resort. I am always fond of photography. I just thought that these shots are worth posting here. Enjoy!

Two Down Two more to Go

Last Saturday I successfully delivered my ISDP (Information Systems Business Plan) presentation. My ISDP was all about our Vehicle Tracking project.

In my Networking class, we successfully implemented client-server transactions over two different network areas. Thanks to my groupmates, Kath, Leah and everybody. They configured the network devices pretty well.

Now I only have two more subjects to worry, our Operating System and Data Structures. My Data Structures subject is already a go for me. We only have to focus our efforts to our OS subject.

God's Pharmacy

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.



A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.




Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.




A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.



Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.


Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.




Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).


Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.



Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.




Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.




Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just l ike the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.


Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

GIS Angels

Well these are the rest of the remaining angels after the big end-of-contract last Tuesday. From my left is Sarah, Chai, Mannie (our encoders/digitizers), and Grace my Software Test Engineer.

There will be more coming next week because a new project has been approved.

Farewell Party

Last Tuesday we celebrated a farewell party for our team members who already finished their contracts. The activity was full of fun and laughter, but at the end of the day I can see in the eyes of everybody that desire for another contract.

I hope they can all see their bright futures, if not in this company, in other places.

Eidul Fitr

Yesterday we celebrated Eidul Fitr. Eidul Fitr is an Islamic holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. We are not Moslems, so we a had a different way of enjoying the holiday.

We took the boys for a stroll and be with them the whole day playing and having fun. My Mom cooked Biko, that is sticky rice with coconut paste. In the evening we had some barbecue.

It was a fun way to enjoy the holiday.
