Globe Appreciation Night

November 29 evening was full of fun and surprises. It was Globe's Appreciation Night at the Waterfront Insular Hotel in Lanang, Davao City. Distinguished IT professionals flocked the place wearing fashionably formal attire. The emcee is no other than Agot Isidro! Agot is a gorgeous nice person with a very wonderful voice.

The night was showered by Agot with her songs and by Globe's prizes and giveaways. I actually won GCASH worth PhP1,000 and my officemate Luvluv won an Apple Ipod Shuffle! Roberto Canda of USEP also won a shining new Blackberry. Wow. A lot of other people also won PhP10,000 worth of GCash, Ipod Nano, Trip for 2 to Boracay and some other great giveaways.

Food was also great. Thanks to Chepo and the rest of the Globe people for inviting us.

Sumptuous dinner at Hola España

bakalaw soup and some of the great foods we had

Last night, we had a sumptuous dinner at Hola España. It is a restaurant along Lanang, Davao City. It was the first time that I was able to revisit that beautiful place in Lanang after the construction days. There are other restaurants there of course but my boss chose Hola España which is a great place. I saw lots of different kinds of imported cheese, ham and wine. I would admit, most of which I saw the first time.

Had great companions but the food was even great. I had fun eating the paella negra. So delicious. So interesting. There was also an orange soup. If I remember it right, the name is bakalaw soup, a mixture of cream, dried fish and cheese among others. Yummy. Also tasted the different imported hams thinly sliced and served with cheese. Chicken with a very distinctive garlic sauce and some very nutritious vegetable salad. Some of the foods we ate was named by my boss but I couldn't remember them all. You may guess it in the picture that I have embedded.

Thanks to my boss and the company that I have worked with for bringing me to that one of a kind restaurant in Davao. Thanks to Hola España also for the warm reception.

All wines at the back.

Eva of ANSI visits our office

Wearing green blouse is Eva Limbo, a small but terrible programmer of ANSI Information Systems. She works in Manila particularly Binondo where you can find delicious Chinese hopia. She visited Davao together with her cousin (or baka cousin-tahan. hehe) as was able to drop by our office in Quimpo Blvd. Matina.

In the picture also is Minviluz Ismael, aka Luvluv wearing red blouse. The guy in black shirt is Jerry Miparanum who is always out of the office setting up new stores. Stephen, the guy on the rightmost side is also small. Just like Eva, Stephen is one of the pillars of the IT group. Hehe. He's very hardworking and he likes cars very much. He would stay in the office late to browse for the latest cars available. Just browse. Hehe.

We look good in here. The camera might be high-end. Hehe.
