details

i was trying to solve a problem why can't we access an application via web using citrix until i came across this console and look at what i've read at the lower right portion of the window.




we're kinda like going in circles here....

de ja vu

"give it 3 years more jay...there'll be a lot of changes in this company..."

that's my mentor giving me a little tap on my shoulder when i was about to give up working in this company four years ago (itago na lang natin sa pangalan na UNIFRUTTI).

oh yeah, four years. i was in this institution for like eight years already and its a sort of a de ja vu thing...i'm beginning to re-think of that promise made to me.

and this could mean something...

i'll let you know after i made my reflection over the weekend.

happy weekend to all bloggers. ;-)

kitanglad adventure 07


weeks before the climb i was feeling skeptical about my right knee. will it endure to and from the peak? of course i've tested this reconstructed acl by playing basketball just 8 months after the surgery, luckily, my knee survived and i've led my team to its victory. then the badminton tournament where i and my partner bested 21 pairs to get the 2nd runner up throphy. and now conquering a 9,800-feet mountain? but after the 3-day adventure here i am now posting this on my blogsite.

ladies & gentlemen, enjoy the pictures:

April 4 - shortly after we arrived in our base camp - UPI staffhouse in
Malaybalay City, Bukidnon

the planning group - you judge whether we've planned out our
stay at the peak very well.


April 5, 5:00am - pose after perfoming "stretching" prior to climb


short pause during our 2-hour walk on a 45-degree inclination on our way
to the foot of Mt.Kitanglad. me, my wife cristine, and my cousin monching.


still on my way to the foot of the mountain, taking a little pause
(kasi kinakapos na ng hininga)


finally! we were able to reach the base of the mountain. from left - harizone,
edwin, dodong - the main man at the peak, and me.


the group. this was taken after our breakfast @ the foot of mt.kitanglad, getting
ready for the great climb.



smile eventhough your body is aching. :p

the peak. we arrived @ 3:00pm. temperature is @ 10 degrees celsius



the so called "mother pokers" - a holy thursday special at the
peak. harhar. temp. drops from 10 to 6 degrees celsius, don't be fooled by the juice
container. that's brandy. pa-simple lang ang dating. hehe


"the kabuliskad group". the term kabuliskad is a visayan dialect
for someone who's having a hard time catching a breath after a strenuous
activity. ;-)

posing just before leaving the "provincial house" at the peak. we were
wearing garbage bags to protect ourselves from the rain.


enjoying a few puffs of marlboro red on a 15-minute rest.

just a few hours before arriving at the base of the mountain.


finally! back to our base camp in Malaybalay City
