... Life?

... a gift, accept it. ... an adventure, try it. ... a sorrow, overcome it. ... a tragedy, embrace it. ... a duty, perform it. ... a game, play it. ... a mystery, unfold it. ... a song, sing it. ... an opportunity, grab it. ... a journey, complete it. ... a promise, fulfill it. ... a beauty, praise it. ... a struggle, fight it. ... a goal, achieve it. ... a puzzle, solve it. Life is a challenge, face it. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Joshua 1:5

Iligan, City of Waterfalls

Image
Maria Cristina Falls, Tinago Falls and Dodiongan Falls I’m here at the City of Waterfalls , Iligan City . Located at the northwestern coast of Mindanao facing Iligan Bay . It is centrally located in the Visayas-Mindanao domestic market and proximate to the BIMP East AEAN Growth Area. A major component of the Cagayan-Iligan Corridor, the fastest growing regional growth center in Mindanao and one of the priority investment areas in the Philippines . It is the home of the country's steel industry and Mindanao 's electric power source. Just arrived yesterday from Cagayan de Oro for a Family Day Outing of my sister’s company, where she works. It’s a 1.5 to 2 hours travel from Cagayan de Oro by Bus. While on the way going here, I enjoyed the scenic view of the beaches and mountains of western Misamis Oriental. We pass several Municipalities of Misamis Oriental from Opol to Lugait. This is my second time visiting this place; the first time was in my freshmen ye

The Star Wars Episode III - World Premier Show Last Night

Image
The saga is complete. Last night I just seen the world premier of the Star Wars (Episode III) - The Revenge of the Sith, and it’s a thumbs up for me, even though I am not a Star Wars fanatic but it captures my attention especially the visual effects of the movie. The two big battles - Anakin against Obi-Wan and the Emperor against Yoda was the highlight of the movie for me. I was really entertained by the two fight scenes. I had only watched the episodes I, II, and this time III – The Revenge of the Sith, the prequels of the total 6 episodes and if this is to be the last big-screen installment of the space opera, damn! I need to watch its other half three parts, the Part IV – New Hope, V – Empire Strikes back and VI – The Return of the Jedi, which was the First to be shown some other years back and I didn’t saw it Ohhh… man! They said you need to watch it because that was the last part of the story. My Star Wars saga was not really complete; I think I need to look for CD’s of the last

Fiesta, Fiesta, Fiesta!!!

Yesterday was our Barangay fiesta, and oh boy! My mom prepared a lot of foods, bad news for those on a diet and health conscious people (hehehe… can’t eat too much). We slaughtered a pig (ewww…) but I did not join in slaughtering. I can’t stand on it, I am an animal lover. Well anyway it is a Filipino tradition every fiesta, it’s a thanks giving to the patron saint San Isidro Labrador for a prosperous year and life. On that day, around 6 in the morning while I’m still on my bed, snoring, I have had a dozen of visitors arrived at home, my Officemates, they’re from the graveyard shift schedule that time that’s why they came so early ‘coz they just off from work at 5 am. Thanks to my mom, she cooked instantly for my visitor’s breakfast. After their breakfast I bought two bottles of Long neck tanduay rhum hmm… Too early to drink hard liquor but those people are used to drink very early. I turned on the VCD player and let them sing the videoke until 12 noon, and we ate for lunch after. Anyw

Going Back to School???

Next month is June, the start of school days, last night I thought about going back to school and reminiscing my school days when I was still a student. I can see myself rushing for riding a jeepney to school with new pair of shoes, new jeans and shirts, and new school paraphernalia, which made me eager to go to school every start of the school year. Ahh man… I just love going back to school; I just missed those days where we cut from our designated classes to go to the mall doing some shoplifting (hahaha… that was before) or going to our classmate’s house food tripping and drinking a lot of beer and watching movies on VHS. VCD’s and DVD’s are rarely available that time. Those exam days where we used to cheat when we don’t know the answers, using a lot of techniques in cheating. Ohh boy… If only I have the extra money to get my self enrolled at the University, but life changes and we have our new priorities in life. I am now belonged to the corporate world. I need to focus on my prese

It's my Mom's birthday today!!!

It's my mom's Birthday today May 10, 2005, this morning she cooked her favorite pancit for our breakfast, I help her prepare the ingredients and after it was cooked I am the first one to taste it and Hmmm… so tasty and it satisfies me. The mother’s cooking ability has nothing to compare with because it has an ingredient of love, which is one secret ingredient every mother has, when it comes to cooking foods to her family especially to her children. I am thankful to God for giving me a mother like my mom, thankful for everything she has, everything she did for me. I am so blessed having a wonderful mom like her. For my mom, Happy Birthday! Wishing you all the best in this world… I love you mom.

Quality of life

The better your thinking ability, the better you are at differentiating between valid information and garbage, and the better you’re able to communicate with others, the more successful you'll be in every aspect of your life — business and personal, physical and mental. Because together these skills, or attributes, can: Substantially reduce any tendency you might have to be fearful of life. Change a habitual negative outlook to one that is positive. Get you into the habit of turning inward for solutions to problems, where they always are, rather than outward, where they never are. Bring to you the realization that you, and you alone, are responsible for what happens in your life. Prevent verbal sickness and improve your health in general by changing your outlook. Reorder your priorities for the better. Rearrange your hierarchy of values for the better. Give you the ability to focus on the important things in life while ignoring t

May is for M......

May! What comes out first in your mind when you heard the month May? Is it flowers blooming? Is it the start of rainy days? How about Fiesta of Saints? Sta. Cruzan? Going to Bohol will be a nice idea, coz almost everyday there is a fiesta celebration of every town there. May is our Barangay Fiesta. But that is not what’s inside my mind now. May is the month for our beloved mothers. May is also my mom’s birth month. Every second Sunday of May is for Mother’s day, this month is intended for Mothers, and for the many things she gave you. My mother is so special for me; she is the best mom in the whole world for me, no matter what my mom is always my mom. Her name is Lolita, every time I heard that name, I can picture out the mother figure in that name. I love my mom, though I didn’t express it physically but my mom knows and feels that I love her, and I know and feels that she loves me too. Nothing compares the love of a mother, it is a selfless love, and she will give everything she can

Netiquette....

It seems nowadays more people in any age bracket use the internet, like chatting, e-mailing and surfing the net. I observed that there’s a lot of internet users don’t have the right manners or don’t observe netiquette that includes me, sometimes. So here’s its ten principles I got from a reference: First impressions . The agreed formula is to begin with the name of the addressee: don’t use the fuddy-dudy “Dear Rob,” but simply “Rob.” A cherry “Hiya” is over-familiar. Simply launching into your message is unduly abrupt, unless the two of you are regular correspondents rapidly sending messages back and forth. Mind your manners . NEVER WRITE MESSAGES IN CAPITAL LETTERS – it’s considered the internet equivalent of shouting. Because e-mail takes place in the absence of the recipient, it lacks the inhibition imposed by their presence (even if only on the phone), so it’s easy to be rude or think that e-rudeness doesn’t count. Think bef
