How to Donate and Help Victims of Typhoon Sendong

I heard the news about the devastation caused by typhoon Sendong to our kababayan in Mindanao. Hopelessness and fear is what you can see on the their faces.They lost their homes and worst of all,they lost their loved ones.

I just got my Marriage Certificate through Teleserv!

To avoid heavy traffic and waiting in long line just to get our marriage certificate from NSO, I availed it through Teleserv. I made my order on Monday, have it confirmed and then my wife received it by Thursday. Definitely a more convenient way in getting your NSO documents.

1st Family Vacation

Its been two years since the last time we visited Albay-our own province. It was on our wedding so we never had the chance visiting some of its beautiful places. This summer, I came back with my wife Sharon and our son Aron for a short vacation. We made it a point not to travel far because we have a toddler with us. So we just visited a nearby hill in Ligao City. Locals call it "Kawa-Kawa" Hill. What makes it special is the "pan-shape" hilltop. You could only find the answer why they call it "hill without a hilltop" once you get up there. But what amazed me most was the experience of being on top of a famous hill and seeing a breathtaking view of Mayon Volcano and vast agricultural landscape of the city. No camera can truly capture its beauty.
