Paalam Na, Hangang Sa Muli

The title is in Filipino and it means “Goodbye, until next time.”

I will finally go to the Philippines today. I’ve been postponing my flight for the past couple of days now. Partly because of scheduling conflict and flight availability. If I get a seat today, I will be absent from my blog for at least a couple of days. But if  I get lucky and somehow find internet access during my stop-over in Japan, then I will probably be post something.

I’m going to the Philippines for two reasons. First, it would be the first time in a long time that the entire family will be together for an extended vacation. Second, this will be the first phase of “My Project”. I’m going to meet with the contractor who will renovate the building and I’m going to the Department of Education to take care of some bureaucratic requirements.

Meanwhile, if you are new here or you’re a regular, you might want to check out my previous posts. I recommend for you to go through the “Car Chronicles” category, it’s my sentimental favorite.

  1. Karl Staib - Your Work Happiness Matters Said,

    Have a awesome trip. Hopefully you’ll come back with some great ideas. That’s my favorite part of traveling.

    The ideas seem to just pop out from every corner because my perspective is on high alert. That’s why I always take notes at the end of each day, so they aren’t forgotten and I can pass them on to my readers.
