Sydney Trip - Nov 2008

I was so happy when my boss told me to go to Sydney for a Project Management workshop. I haven't been in Sydney yet so it would be a great opportunity to see my cousin Margie Quintas and his son, Joel. Last time I saw Ate Margie was when she's pregnant with Joel. So that was about 14 yrs ago! She was kind enough to drive us to see Bondi Beach (known to be Aussie's nude beach). Sonny got dissappointed because no-one was sun bathing because it was a rainy afternoon!!! He, he, he :-)

It would be a good time to see my MBA Classmate, Vic Andallo and his family too. Last time I saw them was when they attended my wedding three (3) years ago. He tagged us along to attend the 50th birthday of his friend. My jaw dropped when I saw his friend's place which is a penthouse unit overlooking the harbour bridge and Sydney Opera House. They just happen to be one of the neighbors of Nicole Kidman & Russell Crowe.

That's not all! My trip won't be complete until I see Bob Luna and his wife Diana. Bob is the younger brother of Cecille Luna, my long lost friend in high school. I finally found Cecille via Facebook courtesy of Maricar Salud another classmate.

In between these reunions, we went around Sydney to see the Opera House. Too bad it was cloudy and raining then. Sonny and I were looking forward to the Sydney Harbour cruise then. Anyway, we can do it next time.

One of the highlights of my trip is to see the old buildings adjacent with the modern ones. OO nga pala, I thought I went to Apple haven when I went to the only Apple Store in Australia. I can't resist shopping some accessories for my Iphone.

Overall it was fun, fun, fun! I would love to go back again soon!
