Web support

Thanks to Zoom, there's one thing that I'm able to do now that wasn't as easy pre-Zoom.

That's attending Mark's speaking engagements.

Yesterday, he was a speaker on a forum on Mindanao. He spoke about how Science and Technology can help transform processes and make them more efficient.

It's always fun to see him at his element and support his engagements. 

We've got the web to thank for that.

From Baking to Biking

It was sometime in 2020 - the start of the pandemic - that Ate Bullet, Ray and the 2 boys started talking about opening a coffee shop for bikers. 

Ray is an avid bike enthusiast, and part of their trips would be looking for good coffee apres riding. One of their usual haunts was a place in Makati called Kohi Coffee. It was during those rides that they planned of having their own coffee shop one day.

In 2022, that dream finally became a reality with Kuro. And in a few days, they'll celebrate their 1st year.

The shop is located beside the old bakeshop owned by Ray, which is great because they've already built a loyal clientele there. Now, with the influx of bikers, their old bakeshop habitue has expanded. So, it's a good mix of old and new.

Looking back at how they were just discussing this shop, to reading about it here, it's clear that their passion for both baking and biking is what will make Kuro even more successful in the future.

Mark his expertise

 Here's something that really made my day.

Knowing how hard he worked for his PhD and how hard he works making these presentations and policies, it's always great to see his expertise recognized and shared with the public at-large.

Yup, he's definitely Ichi-Ban!

Making his Mark

Even if today was a busy day at the shoot, I made it a point to tune in to Mark's webinar.

My heart was welling with pride while watching him making that very thorough and well-thought of presentation on APEC. I know how much he's been working on this the past few weeks, and it's so gratifying to see that all his work has paid off.

As I always tell Mark, he's definitely Ichi-Ban!

And this seminar is just another proof that he is.
