The Callbox Software Development Team (Iloilo and Davao) had their Team Building with the Davao IT Tech Support Team at Seagull Mountain Resort  located at Buda (Davao-Bukidnon Road). It is a 1 and ½ day fun exploring the resort to foster to foster awareness of the team spirit and to reinforce commitment to the team’s shared goals and objectives. We rented 1 small campsite (750) for two girls and 1 big campsite (1,200) for 5 boys.

Last April 10, 2010 the team, at 6 am after shift we had our breakfast at McDonalds then back to office to get our monthly incentive. Then we rode on Joe’s car headed to Budda, it is a 1 ½ hour trip and you can experience the very cold temperature of the place. At the campsite, we ate our breakfast, and then we rode on a tour car heading down to the Seagull Falls. We then jumped to the pool to get ourselves wet because we were all did not take a bath yet.  Then without changing a dried clothes, we headed to the mountain and tour around the resort, we enjoyed taking pictures and amazed on the place. We saw the big crucifixion at the end part of the place. It is the best place for solemn and retreat. Even though the temperature was so very cold, we manage to tour around the place while wet (Oh my God I still can’t imagine!)  Because we were having fun not to mention Sir Karlo was reading a Bob Ong’ book.

Then after the tour, we took our clean bath at the clean comfort room and stayed in our campsite, some of the boys were already sleeping while the others invaded our campsite and we played UNO, yet we were having fun , because it is not a mind game, it is a game  that requires presence of mind. Then, after that some prepare the Dinner and we all ate. Afterwards, we all stayed in the guys’ campsite watching “The Ninja Assasin” movie on Joe’s laptop while drinking 2 sets of Gin + Green Lime, then we all sleep out of tiresome no sleep day.

On the morning 5:00 am we can already feel the very cold temperature as if we were in the refrigerator. Then at 6:30 am we took our breakfast and bought a Native Hot Choco in the Cafeteria.  And lastly we packed our things headed to the car and leave Seagull Moutain Resort.

It was the best place for Team Building, retreat, family outing and etc.

1 month to go and it’s Election Day, I’m still undecided of who will I vote as president, Base on their campaigns all are deserving but nobody knows if they are the right one and and  runs by will and heart  and not just by the  power and money they can benefit.

The Two leading presidential candidates are Aquino and Villar, and because of this, each party searched holes to their rivals instead of focusing to their programs and platforms,  and it’s coming down to labeling which is  the most popular is the Gloriaquino vs. Villaroyo.

The Villaroyo was labeled to the Nacionalista Party, standard bearer Sen. Manny Villar by his political attackers saying that Villar is the GMA’s clone and candidate and because of this label, the party believes that the true coalition of PGMA is the Liberal Party standard bearer Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III which they labeled as Gloriaquino.

The impact of this labeling affects the percentage of survey specifically the votes for Villar which declined the most. Adel Tamano, the NP spokesperson admitted that black propaganda, mainly the Villaroyo tag has hurt Manny Villar was thrown by Liberal Party that has started to affect their campaign.

As a voter, this labeling really made me a confusion of who will I vote, it seems they are busy ruining each other instead of campaigning themselves and let me realized that if these are the kind of leaders who will sit on the Malacañang in the future, I bet the change we wanted will never happened it is like the PGMA season 2. Even of these are lies, can’t they ignore the accusations and continue campaigning, with this we can foresee who is the deserving leader for our country.

I celebrated my Birthday party last April 4, 2010 instead of April 8 for some reason, my sister also celebrated her thanksgiving day as she accomplished her BSHRM degree in PWC, other than that, it is Sunday so it’s not a working day mostly for us and 8 was Thursday.

The party held at 2nd Floor, Tita, Dz, Anda St. Davao City where few of our friends and relatives came. The party was success, Thanks to my Father who paid the half of the party, to Mon2 (ragingfx.com) who designed our tarpaulin and be the photographer of the night, Ton2 (my brother) who was the DJ (Thanks to macbook) and to our guests who came and made my birthday memorable than ever!

One time in mid of January my friend and I went to SM to eat at Pancake house, at the center of the mall we saw a car like a race car, and take note no need of gasoline because its power is from the solar energy. I was not amazed because I haven’t seen it moving.  But in deeper conclusion that I never realized is that it is one of the best solutions to our energy crisis right now.
Lately, this week, here in Davao del Sur, most especially in the provinces we experience brownouts because of the lack of power and scheduled electricity for conserving energy. The only hope we can get is the Solar Energy which is free and since we are in the pacific region, we are fortunately abundant with it. Adtel is the leading solar energy in the Philippines, they produce the home solar kit, and it is a compact system that binds the power of the sun to bring electric light. By this I think it’s a good start that we can save our economy by utilizing our resources rather than thinking of escaping the country where we live and also there are lots of basic needs we can save to, like food money, health and medicine, leisure, comfort and education.Visayas also undergone a scheduled brownout/electricity sharing to solve the energy crisis based on this post – http://lopezlink.ph/forum?func=view&id=72&catid=2  and he asked if Solar energy can best solve the problem? I absolutely say yes, it is proven but all we have to do is use it and not overuse it.
