It was another great day to go out and do another seminar like what we recently did in Zambales a few months back. It is always nice to meet new people and share what we’ve learned with them.
The trip was short and fast. The NLEX and SCTEX has done wonders in cutting down travel time. We reached Olongapo in no time and did our initial ocular inspection of the venue where the seminar was going to be held. All there is to know about the Olongapo Convention Center is that the place deserves a lot of praise by the sheer size and way it was built.
After the inspection, we headed down to Max for some mirienda while waiting for our hosts. Upon arrival of the Yamaha Club of Olongapo, we were brought to the hotel where we stayed over night. Even our accommodations were beyond our expectations and we were given a good nights rest during our stay.
By night fall, our main host, picked us up from the hotel and brought us to a fancy pizza parlor which reminded me of what used to be Shakey’s in the 80’s. There were a couple of bands playing that night and they were awesome to say the least. After eating, we were brought to a couple more bars where the bands were at their best. We got the best of Olongapo even before we did the seminar for them. After a few drinks and a lot of entertainment, we were walked back by our host to our hotel for our rest.
The next morning, we left the hotel early and had a quick breakfast before heading back to the Convention Center. After being showed around the place, we proceeded to setup our banners, laptop and PA system. After a quick check, we then waited for the participants from all over to converge and listen to us talk.
Jake was first and after a fun and informative session, I gave my seminar and and answered some questions from the crowd. We were met with a surprise when the hosts together with the City Councilor of Olongapo City presented me and Jake with plaques of appreciation for being guest speakers for their seminar.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Cornelio Niro who hosted our seminar, the Yamaha Club of Olongapo City for their support, The local government for sponsoring the event, Inside Racing for the giveaway magazines, MCP for being a partner in this movement and all those who participated in the seminar. We hope to be able to go to more places and see more people in the future.
The Olongapo seminar was held last May 24, 2009.
