*note: don't know if this should be here or in the PPD main forum, koya/pak you decide.

Got this off a friend's blog... have been wanting to do it for sometime but was too busy and/or lazy to do the plot... thank god for modern communication and people w/ nothing to do hahahahaha

-------------------------------

For those who will be reaping the benefits of these, hope you have fun. For those who will be paying their employees inspite of these, pana-panahon lang yan (GMA wants to keep banking days as few as possible). You can plan ahead, buy your tickets, book that hotel and flight, get your dive gear checked and preped, buy that extra memory stick for your camera - whatever.
