It was 2014 where I last attended the PICPA ANC in Cebu . Here I am, 4 years later, even with Bagyo Samuel and mentruation, it wont stop me.
Let  start this with a great big Thank you Bacolod! Congrats PICPA
A week before the flight,  it was already reported by PAG-ASA of a typhoon code name Samuel that will hit Cebu and the Visayas. Of course I was scared, but unless the flight is cancelled,  I will still participate

Buses were provided from Silay airport, to New Government Center, IkThus, SMX & L Fisher. It was also raining in Bacolod when I arrived

First step, get your ID and Meal ticket at New Government Center. Still raining

Sayang, since it was raining, walang picture in front of the Building,  Bummer

At L'Fisher for Business Opportunities seminar. I also got an umbrella for asking a question.

Look who I found in L'Fisher, Karen, accountant at UPTacloban

Waiting for the raffle

See, ang bait ko, talagang tinapos ko

I was really drained since Day  1 to Day 4. I had my menstration, multiple venues, had a super headack the first night.  On the night of  Nov 22 2018, Technical session 1 started about 7pm with 3 speakers. I fell  asleep on the bitcoin topic since I was taking medicine for my headache. 

I purchased a pair of shoes for alternate wearing, but my feet hurt a bit  so I had to buy socks again.  Btw, SMX is inside the mall at the North wing. Other participants were assigned in LFisher and Ikthus. Although there were cancellations due to the bad weather, there were still so many who were present. Although there were problems,  complaints, etc. I still say it was successful. Also I finally saw Allan K in person and he was really funny.

PS: PICPA ANC 2019 will be in Laoag Ilocos Norte
