One of the traditions that an MBA class in AIM follows is the Baguio Trip and a stay at the AIM Conference Center Baguio (formerly known as the Igorot Lodge). This activity is really a mix of classes and R&R since Baguio is considered the "Summer Capital of the Philippines" for its cool climate and nice mountain views. Our class had its trip scheduled from March 25-March 27, 2008 (Tuesday to Thursday).

No thanks to a bout with flu, I wasn"t able to go to Baguio. I guess I"ll be know as the "Sickly guy in class" after being the "Blogger dude" and a member of the "Punjabi Pinoys." I really wanted to go-- I had my bags packed, I already had arrangements which room to stay, and when I started feeling sick during the weekend, I really loaded up on medication and even went to see the school doctor. I actually was planning on going even though I wasn"t feeling all well, but the doctor said it was best for me to stay here in Manila and rest.

The class bus was supposed to leave at 5:30 in the morning (the trip from Manila to Baguio is around eight hours via bus), and until that midnight, I was still pining to go, but my body wouln"t let me. I was running a fever then and I knew that I had to be the ONLY guy to miss the trip.

Sheesh. I"ll probably be known in the class as the "Blogger dude" or the "Sickly guy," but one label I regretfully got is the "Person who missed the Baguio Trip."

Quotes

I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in many concerns. - Andrew Carnegie
