Finally.. the Rev has come back... to Baguio! XD

The summer capital of the country; the home of strawberries, pine trees, iceberg lettuce, wagwagan , sundot kulangot (XD), and phallic ashtrays (XDXD).

I was summoned to Baguio for a service call , a product demo for an ECG machine , and to collect a check for a previously rendered service. Three of my sales colleagues are going to Baguio to do their own product demo and representation. And I went with them to save on expenses for my important task in Baguio..

What I really did in Baguio was do a little sight-seeing, shopped for fresh veggies, abused the hotel cable service (Jack TV mostly XD, sad I know), and went to Camp John Hay! Obviously this is not what my bosses had in mind, but, for the shit I put up at work - you know what they say, when the cat is away - the mouse will play. *cackle*



First up, let's finish business with the service call and product demo in this nice hospital by Baguio Central University. The entire thing took 5 hours - less 1 1/2 for lunch, less 1 for lollygagging, less 1/2 for travel time, less 1/2 for waiting -- grand total of 1 hour lol. My service call practically only consisted of finding out who broke the ICU's monitor's pulse oximeter sensor. And my product demo practically consisted of phonecalls to my team, asking who checked the unit before it was sent to Baguio. Presenting how a non-working ecg machine works is beyond my mutant powers. XD The only good thing I got here is that I found the HRD manager cute. XDXDXD

After the above travesty, Eric (our Philips product specialist for North Luzon) and I went to Mines View Park to catch up with the other two who went to Good Shepherd for obscenely expensive pasalubong. Along the way, I took a picture of the mountainside. You'll only get to see pinetrees up here in the north in this country. And no, I did not take a picture of that smelly horse in Mines View.

And it's onto Camp John Hay! Eric suggested we see where they tried rapelling months ago on a previous trip. And there it was, a small adventure spot at Camp John Hay where they do paintball war games, wall climbing and rapelling. For a 100 php fee, you get to try the zipline and rapel down a 20 foot wall. Sounds good? Well I thought it was kinda expensive; but after a dare from our district manager that if I went through it, I'd get a free treat at Strawberries and Ice Cream! A sundae treat at that place costs more than 100 php, it's a bargain XD. So I went and suited up the crotch harness and dead-worn gloves needed to complete the course. Eric took a pic of me on the zipline while I was hurling invectives at everything. XDXDXD

The morning after, my left thigh and abdominal muscles (what muscles?) were aching for that stunt I pulled. XD

Well, I guess the rest of my trip is no longer important. It would've been nice if I didn't ran out of batteries and didn't know where to buy the following morning when I went to SLU - Sacred Heart. ^^;; Ah well, there's a nice view of the city from afar from the bus trip towards lovely, traffic-congested, smog-gets-in-your-eyes Manila! (I managed to buy batteries right before boarding the bus at about 11am. XD)
