ariellalisan.org – Homeward Bound

THIS IS a first for SoCCSKSarGen.

Although we have already meet in some place before, this is the forst time that we gathered purposely to review a restaurant. And we are planning to do it more often in the future.

Well, this is not the review yet. I just want to let you know that we are having fun here. We enjoyed the food. And most of all, we are enjoying the conversations with each other.

Here’s a pic from Kyawster:

This one is from Rosilie:

HOMEWARD BOUND is doing a bit of public service just before the year ends.

A certain Bitster, left a comment on my post about the Pre-Need Code of 2008. It was a lengthy comment and I realize that it is a legitimate issue. I am not updated with these stuff but it got my interest as I really hate it when some influential people take advantage of the ordinary ones.
Here is the comment, verbatim:

STILL ECSTATIC from our first Grand Alumni Homecoming, which ended at around 9PM, I went straight away to Music Box KTV Bar at Santiago Boulevard, General Santos City where some cool bloggers gathered for a Christmas Party.

It was my first time in the said place and there waiting for me were Sir Avel, Tammy, Ms. Rosilie, Ms. Jinky, Ms. Sheng, Kyawster, and Borj.

Geesh. It was awkward at first. But after two bottles, my tongue was unleashed. I wish I didn’t talk too much. I’m afraid I sounded like a braggart. Haha.

But I had fun. I guess we all did — especially when

WAS IT fun?

Sure, sure. Haha. As I’ve anticipated, it was quite stressful because of some eventual glitches. But a dip in the crystal clear water, a sumptuous meal of grilled talakitok and malasugue, kinilaw na maya-maya, among others, and some hearty laughter with co-teachers were are worth it.

It’s been over a year since I last went to Gumasa. There were some developments — the road from the Poblacion of Glan was being concretized and new resorts have opened. In fact the venue of the event was a new resort called Coco White Beach.

So why were we there today?

ONE OF my only two classmates in the graduate school told us this morning that we’ll probably not meet tomorrow because of the Pacquiao-dela Hoya Fight. Well, you know, it seems like the world stops when Manny Pacquiao step on the boxing ring. And it has always been like that.

The more will it be like that tomorrow as he faces the Golden Boy of boxing, Oscar dela Hoya. I’m sure, it will be one momentuous event in history. I am not really a boxing fan though I’ve tried it when I was kid, having lived beside a family of boxers. I have even worn the boxing gloves that Manny once used when he was still beginning his boxing career. No kidding. My cousins were Manny’s sparring mates then and they often trained near our house while we watched.
