Quick Visit to MMA
Thanks to the blackout at 11 am here at work that made me decide to do the errand for Byrne and that is to see the Registrar at MMA. I arrived in the campus at exactly 12:10 so naturally the offices were closed. I looked around, the campus seem deserted and for a moment I dunno what to do except maybe sat infront of the Admin building and wait for the in-charge. Then i thought that the former Registrar’s home (the Paypas) is across the street so I decided to visit them.
It was great to see them – it’s been ages since the last time we said hi and said some catching up. I spent lunch with them and Bon-bon prepared a very sumptuous meal. After lunch, i really had to leave fast because I am still to report to work in the afternoon and that was almost 1:30 already.
When i arrived at the office, it was still closed but decided to see Sir Moscoso in their home. So he came. And so my transaction was done. The documents are to be picked up today but i know i can’t make it. Maybe i will pick it tomorrow or Friday.
Here are some photos i clicked while roaming around the Admin building and to the sides of the Ladies Dormitory.
I just love to see the lush garden. During our time, this part was almost bare except for the bed of green grass.
- The Audie -
I can see myself and some more cadets squatting on the benches plus the loud voice of commandant.
The Ladies Home
My home for 4 years and my mom spent also her high school years in this same dorm.
Cottages across the lawn from the Ladies Home.
But i took note the signage that says “men are not allowed” in there.
The flower garden
This used to be at the back of the audie but now it’s at the side of the audie, in the lawn across the Ladies Dorm.
I can vividly remember that during Saturday morning, I go to the flower garden to pick some roses for the visitors that will attend our church service.
From the Junior Class 1993-1994.
Good for them there this bulletin board that bears their batch year and can be seen from one generation to another. I don’t think our batch did donated one that still exist until now.
Mindanao Mission Academy – The School that Offers Something Better
The Admin & classroom building view from the gate.
I just love the cemented road. Hopefully one day, the road that goes around the campus will also be cemented.
It was showering a bit when i waited for the bus back to the college campus. The bus that came along was full but i didn’t mind standing because i really have to be back asap.
It was a quick visit to MMA, my alma mater but it’s one that is also unforgetable.
By the way, Mindanao Mission Academy is located along the national highway in Manticao, Misamis Oriental.
OWM – Overnight at the Hospital
Friday was quiet day at the office but i look forward to it because it’s the day i planned to have a pedi. I left the office earlier than usual at lunch time so that i can be able to catch up with Belen (my suki pedicurista). And of course i did! I arrived back at the office before 1:30 and i was shaking hungry. lol!
I took a shot of this blue building while waiting for my pedi service:
Anyways, i decided to sleep early that evening but then i was awaken by a knock at past 11 because my sister called. I should get down as quickly as i can to the Emergency Room. I thought oh my what’s up with our Baby Gab but when i reached there, it was not Baby but it was my father with an oxygen on. It was not my sister who was there but my brother and sis-in-law. They said my father got a mild heart attack.
Oh well, so i stayed the whole night there (lack sleep) until noontime the next day. He was on bed arrest. He was comfy using the urinal in his bed but he got no choice. The night was uneventful but i was a groggy watcher when Saturday morning came. I missed church and even missed my breakfast and lunch because that morning he was not yet allowed to eat. I gave him some water after his blood was taken for lab test.
The doctor came around past 12 and she told me that my father have no heart problem. Instead she saw a different problem. So i was relieved of the thought that i don’t have to watch him every minute of the next 24 hours. So, i decided to make the trip to CDO to bond with some friends. I even met someone whom i haven’t seen since i graduated from college in 1994. She almost fail to recognize me because i have doubled or almost tripled my college size – but looking at me closely she giggled and said…ohhh my sister! =) Thanks for the chocolate spread, Jo! I wish i have taken a photo of us. I just really forgot about it. Maybe next time, I will text you and let’s hang around.
I had a great evening and this is what we had for dinner:
My friend called this picadello. I am not familiar of the recipe but it tastes sooo good that i almost forgot my diet! =)
Toys for Kids & Gifts for Adults
One thing i love for kiddie parties is that it is not hard to find gift for a little girl or a little boy. The choices are endless but what moms complain most of the time is time. It takes time to pick the right thing from the vast choices of toys you can find in every toy store or even online.
Yesterday, someone celebrated her birthday and luckily she is not a little girl but an adult one. It was so easy to pick something for her. I picked a flower silver brooch for Ma’am Ruby and i also buy a butterfly silver brooch for Ma’am Apple as a give-away gift. She will be leaving us soon for a new work assignment. Surely i will miss her but am comforted in the thought that every time she will use the bar pin, she will be able to think of me.
SWF – Morning Glow
The sun was slowly creeping up the horizon but its ray already shone brightly in the hallways of the dorm. That’s what i saw when i woke up the girls at 5:40 this morning. The bold rays of the sun promises a very bright day and for sure it’s gonna be humid if one goes out.
The sun looks so small in this picture but its light is already an irritation to the joke-woke-up eyes. =)
Great weekend everyone!

Skin Allergy
I have many friends who are having skin allergy to the extent that it hampered their social life. I have similar problems too, if i won’t be careful in what am eating then for sure i always have skin blisters and wounds. One of my bosses in china is allergic to soy products. He is vegetarian so he gets his protein from soy beans then later he experienced the worst skin problems anyone could have. I think he went to see a doctor and he was told that he needs eczema treatment as soon as possible that time to control and eventually stop the degradation of skin. The last time we met, the scar was slowly healing and he totally avoids soy products.
Dieting and Pills
I really cannot say I am on a diet. But I am watching the quantity and quality of the food am putting in my mouth since i started going back to the gym. Why? Because i would like to lose these unwanted pounds. Don’t ask me anymore how much i weigh but am way way beyond my ideal weight. At times i thought of regularly use those teas with diet effect but it does not work for me at work when i hear my tummy grumbling. It’s so uncomfortable. Pills? I am not sure.
There is a new pill they are introducing online now and it is called apidexin . They said that this is the solution to diet problems. It is being ranked as the number one weight loss pilsl by the consumers as well as the diet experts. I really can’t agree on that because i haven’t tried it so maybe later i can say it works because it is what my cousin is using now. I have this cousin who is so crazy about her size that she wanna stay slim and petite forever that she gets hysterical if she misses her gym session after eating a slice of chocolate cake. I think she sounds so over at times. lol! But that’s my cousin. 
She told me she will send me the money to buy the pills. I thanked her but all i have in mind is to buy a new pair of footwear if ever that money comes. Id just better hit the gym regularly and lessen the rice intake.
Hitting the Goal
I can say that i’ve been regularly visiting the gym. Several friends already commented that i have lost weight. Oh yeah i did but it is not yet enough. I still have to lose more and also to be able to use the pull up bar . Because if i can do so then i would say i will be better off than when i was in college. Many have said i looked so good and fit while in college because of course i was thin and my problems those days were not yet much as it is now — but then i have a hard time doing pull up bars. That is one part i hate about during PE time. If you ask me what i love best about my PE – oh well, i just love watching my classmates doing their routines. hehehe
I hope to hit the goal this year. What goal? My desired weight.
