Party on Cue

January 14, 2008 By

Set up for a fun backyard party without having to search endlessly for the citronella candles, the barbecue lighter, or the grill tongs. Organize like a pro, with “stations” for entertaining supplies, so you never have to waste time hunting for them. Tuck everything into a portable container (like that nice picnic basket you never use) and park it near the door to your patio. Cushion breakables with something soft.

Business Permit Renewal – Davao City

January 14, 2008 By

I was satisfied with the processing of the Business Permit here in Davao City. The process was trimmed down to 4 easy steps; so far this was the easiest as compared to last year. Also, they maximized the floor area of the building giving enough space to prevent congestion. In addition to that, they are now using numbering system and megaphones to give more systematic and organized process flow. Lastly, they have extended scheduled time until 7:00pm to cater all applicants.

I totally admire the new system now because I finished my task in a short period of time. Whew!!! What a relief….

A Taste of Namibia!

January 14, 2008 By

Vibrant City of Windhoek, Namibia


Sand dune of the Kalahari Desert

Sunset in Namibia!

This is one of the youngest countries in the world; it gained independence from South Africa in 1990. I almost went to this country when I applied in becoming a missionary way back when I was in my college days but it never happen.


Anyway Namibia is known for being dry land, an evidence of that is the Namib Desert known for being one of the oldest deserts on the planet. Though Namibia is a dry place it is also home to many creature that are well adapted to hot and dry climate. Some animals don’t even drink water to survive they just get the moisture they need from plants they eat.


Namibia generally attracts eco-tourists with the majority visiting to experience the different climates and natural geographical landscapes such as the great eastern desert and plains. There are many lodges and reserves for eco-tourists to travel to and stay over. A piece of advice though the country has not yet eliminated parasites that carries malaria, sleeping sickness and dengue so be prepared. Ask your tourist physician for your proper vaccination or where to get any medicines that repel these diseases. That’s all for now and hope you’ll enjoy your trip!
