OWM – Visit to Maria Christina Falls

Last weekend was a busy one.  But on the last day i had the chance to go on city tour.  Two places were on the list.  The first one was Agus 4 and from there, we went to see Maria Christina Falls, the outlet of the water that runs the hydro power plant which supplies electricity throughout Mindanao and Siquijor island.

It was my fourth visit to Agus 4 in Balo-i but first for my daughter.  Though it was my fourth time yet, every visit is a wonderful visit because there’s something new to see.   It was my sixth visit to the falls and the last one was in October 2007 during the AHPA Convention also.  This time, so much has improved because they converted the entrance into a Nature Park so it means it made the Maria Cristina, the landmark of Iligan City, more accessible to the public.

There is no entrance fee to enter the park but the group must have a valid identification then all can go in.

-Dimple’s first visit there -

- the tourists –

- distant view of the falls -

- the viewing deck -

The convention including the tour officially ended after lunch.  Dimple and I went home to the dorm and i guess we slept 3 hours. We were so tired because of the late night before that Sunday.

Monday was still a holiday so it was our time to make a our Christmas tree and belen using materials found in the office.  So, we come up to this:

I am glad i made this shot because our tree does not look like this again.  My officemate made it into another form and it’s not yet done so i havent’ taken pictures yet.  Our belen is not yet done so maybe next OWM i will be sharing it here.

If you decide to visit Iligan City, drop me a line and let me know so that i can bring you to some beautiful spots in Iligan.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend!

So Many Things to Share…

or to blog about but amnow crying please give me some more time.  i am wishing am spending 24 hours here in the office downstairs so that i can still have time to blog, to bloghop, and to join memes, visit meme participants.

I am not sure if i really have to worry about PR – but really am slacking these days.  Not that i want to but because i don’t have time.  Oh Mr. Santa, please send me a laptop this Christmas.  Big or small – whatever as long as i can use up there in my new home.

really…i have not yet settled.  i still have very busy days that i dunno when i can sit down and relax infront of the computer and write down my thoughts.

i had a long weekend and it was also a busy one.

Saturday evening, went swimming.  I posted about the place and showed photos, too – HERE.

Sunday we went touring around two places here in Iligan and i know it’s worth sharing in my travel blog, so watch out for it.

For the mean time, please enjoy our swimming photos.

Opssss by the way, another thing to share (photos to follow – hopefully tomorrow lunch time) we won (our group GOLDEN FALCONS) in the BELEN/LANTERN contest.  We are sooo sooo happy.  Though i was not there to jump up and down with happiness.

Before i log off, let me share this photo with all of you -

- i wish i know how to pout. lol -

more photos here.

Looks like Halloween Ladies?

What can you say?  For me – they look like lady ghosts!  Awooooooooo….I took this photo on Halloween night.  Maybe if it’s not halloween then the result would not be like this.  Am trying to scare my daughter eh.

Last Friday i went out to the mall and did malling and saw several nice tv stands on sale. I think we need one but the problem now is that we have a baby at home and at the phase of wanting to learn to walk. For sure it would be a disaster if my nephew will use it for a stand or walker.

A Blogger’s Event

If you read the post before this, it is entitled, I WAS THERE.  Yes, I was in Cagayan de Oro City to attend a very big blogger’s event.  I wish all of you were there with me because if you are here at OWM then it means you are also a blogger.  I want to dream big like there will be a WORLD BLOGGERS SUMMIT!  Where to be held? — cast lots!

Let me allow to share a few because next weekend it’s going to be my turn and i will also share MBS related photos.

The Venue – Pearlmont Inn

streamers/tarpulines hanging at the entrance way of the hotel of which i took time to shot during lunch break.

I made new friends.  But here are some of the new friends that i had pics with.

These guys are first timers to the summit.  The upper photos showed with me are bloggers from the Zamboanga Peninsula.  I think two of them are from Zamboanga City and the other one is Dapitan.

The lower to the left is shown Alvin Ronnie Caballero and Francis Javier.  We were on the same table.  Both are new bloggers and they belong to CDO Bloggers.

With me on the right photo is Alvin Tan of Manila.  First time to the summit and first time to Mindanao.  I am sure he really had a great time in this trip.  Such a friendly guy.

The 9 PBA awardees for 2009 in Mindanao.  Everyone was happy for them.
You may check out Avel’s post about his 3 wins.

I had many photos but this is one of my favorite ones: – the chandelier at the meeting hall.

I now decided that i should include in my collection shots of lamps and chandeliers. Oh a couple of shots has been added to my “shooting the photographer” collection. i just luvit!

PH – Words

Some of the wordy signages i saw at Datung Caves, PR China.

Happy Weekend!

LATSOF – One Late Afternoon

It was like this when i looked up the sky while waiting for the vehicle to carry us home.  Then a minute or so…

It became like this photo below–

I was really awed when i saw the second photo.  I did try to capture the beauty exactly as what i saw but this was all the handphone can manage.   It was really beautiful sight!

It’s another weekend and i hope everyone had a wonderful week.  Please click on the widget above the first photo to see more skies from all over the world.

OWM – Nannying the Day Away

I slept late Friday night because of the water supply so i woke up late in the morning. While getting ready for church, my new nephew was sort of cranky.   Always crying that we dunno how to still him. Maybe it was the humidity. So mom asked me to turn on the air conditioner and i ended up nannying while his mom went back to the kitchen cook.

The baby and I had a very very nice sleep and when he woke up i was still sleepy as in sleepy but i have to be up and hold him or play with him.  Here are some of our photos:

- My foot guards –

- The one am guarding trying to play and taste all my foot guards -

– opps got ya!  Eating away one of Mickey’s paws?

- Now he is tired again after tasting and licking all that he can get hold of.  After the cooing and the singing and the monkey tricks i did for him, he signaled for a hungry cry and so i gave him his milk and i sway (using my pillow) him to sleep. –

LATSOF – So Blue

Not my feelings. Just the color!

- I miss this waters.

- Look closely. Can you see the glistening water? It was one hot sunny day.

- I hope soon i can travel by the sea again.

Soooo Blue!

Happy Weekend everyone!
