Four Houses in Four Nights
Bacolod had the honor of hosting this year's seminar for Registrars around the country. It ran for three days that to spare my fragile body from travel fatigue, I included accommodation in my budget request, citing the minimum rate to have it a greater chance of being approved.
Day one (Nov. 27) - We listened to three speakers, from which I gleaned most relevant information (to our operations as a TVET institution) with regards to the implementation of K-12. Most of CHED's discussion dealt with the basis and standards in classifying, evaluating and monitoring HEIs which is good to know. As for TESDA, I already know the topic by heart.
The day ended with me watching Catching Fire and grabbing dinner at Pizza Hut with Grace and checking-in at Casa Mait for the night (spending much of it tinkering with the electronic gadgets while ingesting chips and soda)
.
Day two (Nov 28) - L' Fisher did not serve coffee that during the lunch break, I took a little trip to my favorite cafe and bought Americano for Sir Mandy, Latte for Ms. Lani and the Drip Variety with whole milk for myself. We had guests from Immigration who talked about the Policy on Foreign Students and a Lecturer (was it from Adamson or San Beda) on Legal Implications of the Education Reforms (who is a very funny man).
I had to sit through the socials and I won a sheet and pillow case for my indulgence. The program, amazingly wasn't corny, I have to say I was glad I stayed for it.
For the night, I checked in at Circle Inn with Grace and Mimi and took advantage of their swimming facilities. Their mom popped in after work and stayed for an hour for a chat and coffee.
Day two (Nov 28) - After the business meeting and before heading home, Grace and I took a detour and popped in at Cutis Care along Burgos St to get some facial. It was a late birthday present I gave her.
This time I spent the night at Lira's in Patricia Homes. I only went home to see about everybody and have a fresh set of clothes for my dawn trip to Cebu for Maddie's wedding.
Oh, what a week!
