Coron 2013 with my ACN Team

Cloudy, a friend and former team mate in Accenture invited me to Coron. It was supposed to be her homecoming last January but then she got another assignment in the US so it was just us Manila peeps on the trip. Amabel, whom I was the closest and treated as my best friend in the team forgot to book me a plane ticket! Ryan had to pass since he got an offshore assignment as well so luckily for me I took his seat. Got fake IDs so I could board the plane using his ticket!

This was my 3rd time in Coron and I want to keep coming back! 

We checked in at Islands View Inn. It's kinda new. Set meals with 2 viands included in our tour package. 

Missing Sea Dive Resort in my first time in Coron... They used to serve sit in buffet and we could ask any food we wanted like unlimited lobsters!

Our first stop was the park. 

Then our van took us to a pasalubong center. We didn't but anything yet since it was our first day and we've only been to 1 site! 

Bacolod-Iloilo-Guimaras with Paksyon Part 1

In 2005, I joined Sykes as a technical support agent for one of the largest telecommunications company in the US. I was lucky to be with a group of wonderful people whom I became friends with until now.

One day, my circle of friends were discussing some issues (well, every company has those) and we were called into a room we fondly call bartolina (prison solitary confinement) by our team lead, Arvin. He then started pointing to us one by one, saying, "ikaw, ikaw, ikaw, ikaw... mga paksyon kayo eh!" (you, you, you, you... you have a faction!). And that is how we got our name, Paksyon.

Fast forward to 7 years later... we are no longer with Sykes. While some of us stayed in the country, some has gone to Singapore, Australia, the Netherlands and anywhere else in the world. Our "OFW" friends have decided to come home for a Christmas vacation so we set to have reunion of sorts in Bacolod where Arvin is now based.
