Race to the North

Sometimes I prefer to actually be consumed of beauty, rather than seek the assistance of a camera to do it for me. I am not trying to come up with a lame excuse to vouch for my inability to take good photos (haha!). My March 5th business trip to Ilocos punctuated a string of Bacolod trips I took this past quarter. Sixteen hours on the road was anything but sweet. If it was any consolation, Fort Ilocandia served as my home for a week. If only I was able to maximize its facilities; plenary and restaurant not included. And oh, I was finally able to exercise my first post-collegiate hosting gig during our National Sales Conference Awards Night. My bosses like the idea of tossing me into an open fire; I lived to tell the tale of course ;)
