A Noble cause - Gawad Kalinga

Life is good. It has always been and will always be. I've traveled to places, ate good food, shopped till I dropped, tried different sports and engaged in different adventures. I feel blessed to have so much fun-filled expereinces and bold undertakings in my life, so I guess it's time to give back something to my community and fellowmen.

Not to long ago, I attended a talk about the Gawad Kalinga Foundation and was moved by mission of it's founder Mr. Tony Meloto. In my lifetime, only few have I encountered a man with such clean and pure intention to help others. A very selfless and honorable man in it's truest sense!

And so, I was moved and decide to help out. Those of you out there that are thinking of ways to help out, I suggest you to volunteer yourself and help out any Gawad Kalinga (GK) Projects. I'm pretty sure this is something you will be proud of. :-)

Back to Fuego

Back to Fuego, this time, it's not a clean- up dive anymore but a weekend getaway with my college barkada. It's difficult to schedule an out of town get away for me and my college buddies since we are now all working in different work settings, but as it goes, if there's a will there's a way! Nothing can keep us from having fun whatever it takes! It may be after summer season already but we decided to catch our last hooray for this summer at the beach.

Terazzas de Punta Fuego is the newer clubhouse for the members of the exclusive Club Punta Fuego. It's located in Nasugbu, Batangas which is about 2 to 3 hour-drive from Manila. It boast of it's world class resort amenities and wonderful beach ambiance.
