Every April, Pandan celebrates its Tugbong Festival. It’s the time of the year where my family and other relatives get together. I also get to meet some of my friends. With all the activities during the fiesta, I lost my voice the first time I attended an event which was my High School’s Alumni Homecoming on April 22, 2008. See the schedule of activities at the Tugbong Festival Website.

Boracay island has been voted as the best beach in the world a long time ago. I can’t give you any reference as it was the time when there was no internet yet as far as I can recall. Now a days, it’s still being considered somehow as one of the best beaches in the world.

Spring 2008 Vacation in the Philippines

This spring season I went to the Philippines for a vacation. I left Switzerland on April 13, 2008 and then came back on May 07, 2008. Although it was spring here (still spring up to now), it was summer in the Philippines. As usual, I got sick in the Philippines because of dust and heat but it never stopped me from having fun with family and friends.

Vincent, “Musical! The Show” Winner

I was not really watching “Musical! The Show” at the Austrian Channel ORF1. But one night I watched it when I saw it being advertised in ORF1 as I normally watch shows like CSI in this channel. On that particular night I still kept on transferring to other channels and once in a while zapped back to watch the “Musical!”. Then I heard one of the members of the jury who was commenting on Vincent’s performance said, “Salamat”. It caught my attention, of course, but I still didn’t watch the other shows afterwards. I didn’t even bother to search about Vincent at the Internet. Then I saw again that tonight, January 11, 2008, was the final show of “Musical! The Show”. So I watched it.
