The sky i saw the moment i stepped out of the side door in the dormitory on Valentine’s day. It was an hour before noon. I can almost feel that the light is very glaring that my eyes can’t handle.

TWTh – Divisoria View & This Way at CU
A Thursday meme of roads & its signs, signages, paths, passages, street scenes & the like. Hosted by Tink.
I was on an official trip to Cagayan de Oro the other week and i had breakfast at Mc Donalds Divisoria. After eating my breakfast, i then too the time to enjoy the view. Actually while eating i was already enjoying the view but took time to click my camera after eating already.
After breakfast i went to Liceo de Cagayan University and then to Capitol University. I took so many roads and signage shots but id like to share this signage from Capitol University.
I enjoyed walking around (after my official transaction of course!) in the big campus of the two universities i visited that day. I think it was a nice way to be slimquick in a natural way. I just walked and walked at same time enjoying the view and clicking my camera. I wish my camera lens can capture all the things that made my eyes spark with excitement.

Back from a Weekend Trip
Just a short note to say am back from the trip to Mountain View College. The trip was for my daughter as she was there for the whole week yet it also refreshes me of my college days memories. It’s a weekend trip. We left Iligan Friday morning and arrived just awhile ago. So i missed the time checking out these promotional products for the Christmas holidays. I thought that mommy duty must come first before anything else.
There were only 22 schools that attended so the campsite was not filled with people. There was not even a trace of campers or visitors in some common spots. Mountain View College is situated in up the hills of Nebo in Valencia City, Bukidnon. It’s around 30-40 minutes travel up the rough roads towards the top hills.
My last visit there was two years ago so am happy to be able to visit this weekend. Luckily, i met one of my dormitory roommates. She married her college sweetheart so we really had fun recalling our many college happenings. We also met one of our highschool schoolmate and oh my we laugh just like there was no tomorrow. Schooling years were so much fun in spite of the challenge of studying hard.
This is my first time to visit MVC as a parent and doing duty as a parent. It was a nice feeling yet it’s reminding me and my friends that we are not getting younger anymore.

SWF – Sky from Maria Cristina Falls
It was a fine day when we visited Maria Cristina Falls last Sunday, November 29.
They now made this landmark more accessible to the public by creating a Nature Park from the entrance to the viewing deck. Maybe more photos and other details in another post.

An Evening at Holiday Pool
It is not always that we spend an evening at a pool here in the place called the City of Waterfalls. Thanks to the 12th Adventist Health Professionals Association Convention the Saturday evening activity was swimming at the pool. Luckily the peace and order situation here in the city is good so no one have second thoughts of going out swimming in the evening.
The visitors from nearby places enjoyed the night eating, swimming, chatting, and just bonding with fellow AHPA members.
Dimple also got a long weekend, so she spent two of those nights with me. She was one of those who enjoyed the cool cold water (flowing spring water) that evening.
Let me share some of our photos:
- there were 3 subdivisions of pools – one for the kids, one for the adults (swimmers) and one for adults who does not know how to swim. - The place were i enjoyed swimming.
- they are both excited to swim. Ma’am Jaedee can swim. But dimple can’t but the daring spirit of my daughter allow her to venture even the deepest of that swimmer’s pool. -
If you will ask me where i was, i was only a sidepool buddy. Holding to the rails because i feel like the water or the heights or depths is sucking me up.
The place is already beautified for the season but my camera did not capture them beautifully. What attracted me are the bright colors of the handrails on the minibridge and the canopy at the sidepool
- take note of the bright yellow and orange. they are so attractive to the eyes even in the evening. so i can just imagine the brighth glow it brings to the blue waters during day time.
- this is what you can see at the kiddie pool. my daughter says she’s too old for that area. -
More more pictorials of us:
- i can’t swim like a professional swimmer but i did have fun that night! -
We went home in our wet suits and there was no water in our dormitory. Luckily the bathrooms in our office got water pouring so we have to bath in the office.
Had carbonara is our midnight snack before i decided to call it a night. I think Dimple went to sleep at past 1 am already.
SWF – Sky in Poem
Above the Bright Blue Sky
~Albert Midlane
There’s a Friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A Friend who never changes
Whose love will never die;
Our earthly friends may fail us,
And change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy
Of that dear name he bears.
There’s a home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy;
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare;
And everyone is happy,
Nor could be happier there.
Sky Watch from St. Agustin Cathedral
One fine Sunday (Oct 25, 20o9) Got this during the city tour of Cagayan de Oro. This was our first stop - San Agustin Cathedral.
It was my first time to enter a Cathedral and see things at close perspective.
The sun was up and a perfect day to do sky shots.
