I have always known I love diamonds. I don’t necessarily prefer them over something else, but I’ve always known I’ll grow to like them. I think it’s the sparkle. Diamonds almost resemble stars. They’re always bright and gleaming.

Then there was this guy in one of the many movies I’ve seen that said his lady’s eyes sparkle like diamonds.

Then there was this professor in college who said clarity should come as clear as crystal. And the crystals he always refer to were diamonds.

Then there’s the song. And Marilyn Monroe.

But who would’ve though diamonds live in water? This amazing photo just made me realize not all diamonds have carats in them.

Have a great workweek everyone.

Dante Barona FTW!

For the past few days, I was in Tacloban with our marketing crew for another RMC visit. San Juanico Bridge is such a wonder and it was just right there. Kuya Joel made sure that we get a picture at the spot where Dante Barona jumped off as a stunt a few decades ago! :)

That’s me with AB, my right hand and left leg. Yes, I cannot function without her. Hahahahaha.

More photos coming soon!

Taken from Nueva Vizcaya

Last week, we did a marketing blitz and product orientation run in our Ilagan branch. Actually, we’ll be doing a lot of runs till the end of the month.

For those who have not traveled by land to Isabela, it’s about 10 hours away from Manila. That’s not even an exaggeration. We left early, like 4 in the morning early, and still arrived after lunch, 2:30 to be exact.

Anyway, in the middle of the long and winding road, I woke up to find that we’re in Nueva Vizcaya. I looked out the window and saw this:

I think I should explore the countryside more. I keep forgetting how beautiful it is. A fleeting moment, and I was fortunate to capture it as still as this.

Coastal view

On our way to visit Lola, our car broke down along Coastal Road. It was quite depressing considering how desserted that place can be. The entrance and the exit ways are just too far from each other. My brothers had to remove the tires and carry them to the nearest gas station for vulcanizing. Then, I was left in the van alone with my smoking dad…. and I looked out the window.

Maybe this place isn’t so desserted after all.
