Guam Trip

Guam was like a family reunion for me.. i have loads of cousins and little newphews and nieces who live in guam.. I also have a very good japanese dive instructor who happens to own Papalagi dive shop in guam and a chain of dive shops in tokyo (he was in tokyo when we were in guam.) Anyways the trip was special because of family. Il post family pictures as soon as i get copies.

The metro pacific group (producers of the show) treated us like family too!! It was cute to see the group which is composed of married men, be the leaders of the whole project. The wives really supported thier husbands. Truly, the show was a sucess because there was a flow of authority and unity within the group.

Here are some pictures..

Lunch at the Marriot with Sitti, Kitchie and Mrs. Margie Nadal Kitchie's mommy :)



We stayed at the Sheraton Resort Hotel! It was great! The food was super yummy and the place was so nice and clean.. we thank the metro pacific guys and wives for taking care of us.

Our gig with Sittie Navarro was a unique exprience.. just mixing Bossa and Pop-rock was a feat. imagine the crowd when Sitti was playing and then Kitchie.. its was different because 1. there was no violent reaction from the crowd. 2. the crowd enjoyed both experiences from the oldies to the kiddies.. it was a "global like" affair in terms of music clashes.

Beautiful Batanes

One of my most meaningful vacation.. Batanes!

Meaningful for me since i learned about the province through staying with a family..

i felt like i was an exchange student for 4 days.

Swiming in a cove the waves are strong if you swim in the beach.. batanes is not a beach area.


Stayed with Tita letty, Myle's auntie

The Beauty of Batanes






I would like to thank myles and her family for taking me around in this beautiful place. I recomend Batanes for the people who just want to chill and relax.

The food is all organic and also the people.. meaning they're real! hehe
