Getting a glimpse of Mt. Apo!
Actually the one in view is not the summit. But with my three days in Davao to be able to witness it, I was not lucky enough to see the highest peak. This photo was taken while we visited the Mt. Apo Highland Resort (Hillside).
I wish I had all the time to sit on the bench and watch the clouds engulf the peaks at the same time be mesmerized by the cool fresh air! So free from air pollution.
My daughter is now a growing up lady. In few weeks, she will be starting her Junior year in high school. Looking back to the time I was her age, I already have a boyfriend. High school crushes. I know it was not allowed in the campus yet I cannot remember much anymore how a guy courts a lady. lol!
My girl is already into crushes (actors and celebrities) but nobody yet from school. It makes my heart smiles deep inside. Though I don’t want her to go into any relationship while still studying but I would also love the thought that someone likes her. lol! Bad bad me (they said). Anyway, if ever one day, in the next two or six years, someone will court her, then for sure I would like to know the guy better.
How to know the guy better? Aside from having a back ground check I would also make friends with him and invite him at home for meals or just to relax with their other friends. I will also him that our home is open for his visits on days when they don’t have class. I will also remind them that they should prioritize their studies first. Love and friendship is fun during high school days but when there are love quarrels, it affects the studies. So better not be so serious in love relationship while in school.
Honestly, I wish my little girl will always be a little girl so that she won’t discover the world of love and attraction of the opposite sex. But this is life! All of us pass that stage which is just normal. This will really be a challenge for because am a single parent. I hope she won’t give me a headache later in life. Hmm I really don’t think so. I am raising a good girl. =)
I traveled to Davao Thursday evening to attend the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2012. I was one of the more than twenty participants coming from places all over the Philippines.
This is me during the visit to Tribu K Mindanawan Cultural Village located at the Davao Crocodile Park Complex. We went there to watch the fire dance. If it was not yet too late, we could have gone around the whole village and see all what is there to see. But have another appointment to catch, so we just took a group pic on this spot and then left for Lachi’s.
More of this and DFAT 2012 related photos and news bit will be posted in my travel blog.
I arrived back home Tuesday morning and right away, in .less than an hour, I was already at work. Time flies so fast.
Travel makes me forget time but work reminds me that I should be mindful of my time.
Thanks to Charles for taking this photo.
The tent city composed of those who became homeless due to the flood are still existing. In spite of the many volunteers that came to help build homes for them, still not yet have moved into their new homes. But I guess everyone is promised a home.
For some, it sounds lucky, but experiencing the flood in the darkness of the night is never a lucky experience. Surviving though sounds the luck was with you but in the moment where you don’t know you gonna live or die — it’s a traumatic one.
I’ve been wishing that manufactured homes for sale is available in town so that when a family have enough funds they can just purchase anytime. But we don’t have outlets like that here in the part of the world, so we rely on volunteers to build homes for those who badly need a home.
There are always things not even time can erase. The best and the worst, the most wonderful and the most painful moments in one’s life are the things that survive in our hearts and become part of us.
This quote caught my attention. Nice thought and yes it is right. There are just some things in life that could never be erased by time.

I saw this yoyo while browsing online and I think they are perfect gift for boys this coming Christmas. They are not just simple yoyos but they are yoyojam atmosphere that is designed for speed and and stability for champions. They are designed for expert players.
I thought of purchasing them in bulk so that I can give them out to boys during Christmas. Christmas is still seven months away but I think it won’t matter because the yoyos will not get stale get destroyed if being stocked a long time. Ordering it by bulk now is a great deal because you only have to pay $50 for all orders.
So get your order now! It’s a perfect gift for boys of all ages.
One of the main highlights during the 60th Anniversary banquet was the giving of recognition to workers who have rendered a specific number of years to Mindanao Sanitarium and hospital.
I think those who were called and given awards were lucky to receive recognition during that specific event. Though every year, the Human Resource give out recognition to workers. But this year is really special because it is the 60th anniversary.
During the giving out of the recognition, each teams were also given their awards after the whole year of participation in the Hugyawan 2011. It was one of the moments each team awaited because they were awarded with a big check reflecting the amount their group won. Our team came in fourth and our prize was Php 10,000.00. It does not matter really matter if we come out fourth, third, or second, or what kind of trophies and awards they give us. The important thing is that we have participate.
