This One's For You, Diana!

(This is going to be quite a long "work in progress" thingy.
I have been trying to upload the photo and there seems to be a browser conflict somewhere.  The text has also not been fully thought out yet...
so please just be on standby while i try to resolve the computer issues first...)


Prestige Cruises is back with a bigger and better cruising boat for us.  The new boat has three decks, versus two decks on the previous boat.  the top deck is completely al fresco, which is perfect for stargazing, and has significantly more elbow room.  Should a sudden downpour happen, there is the covered second deck which is also where refreshments are served.  Photographers avoid getting their hands greasy though, so as not to mess with their new cameras...

All in all, 15 people made it to the first PYE cruise with Prestige for 2011.  Notably present in the photo is John & Miriam Sy; John is from my xavier batch.  our weight ratio from grade school is still the same now.  hehehe.  Guesting are members of this year's first Intro class which includes Miriam, Roxanne, Tony, and Anoy.  They are joined by the members of Project f/8.0, represented by Geeboy, Chiqui, Potpot, Abby, John, & Sandy.  not available that day were Xenon, Joy, & Malou.  Not in photo but also joining us on the cruise was Peterson Tan who prefers to be called by his GenSan nickname of BabyTuna, and his daughter Kia, future top chef and current student at Enderun.  Peterson is a very good friend who really loves the sea.  so when he heard about this maiden cruise, quickly jumped into his Patrol and drove to the Harbor!

We did miss the presence of Diana, from Nueva Ecija who I understand, wanted to join this cruise, but was unable to.  So, Diana, like I told Shanon, "This One's For You!".  we really wished you could have joined us.

by the way, go ask shanon if she's already done her short piece on Boracay's famous "Real Coffee" joint.  we would love to read it...
