a Thursday meme by Carin

Shoot Me! It’s time to stop hiding behind that camera of yours. Your family is missing you in the picture. So it’s time to post a picture of YOU (yes, you) every Thursday with your child, your spouse, your friend, your dog, or even by yourself. Just get in the picture, you’ll be glad you did! And just jump in now with 1 of 52, you can do it

This is my second time to pass by the place but this is my first time to really come near the fountain. It was not a very sunny day that day so on the other side the sky was greyish white and i have to go around the fountain to catch the sky in the northern part.

Taken last Friday in Cagayan de Oro City.

If you are working for PU2B am sure you received an email yesterday asking us not to post any screenshot of paypal payments in our blog. Maybe you can but never divulge that it’s a payment of a particular company. I guess we should agree to this request because it poses a problem to our ever dear company. I am guilty because i know that one time i posted a screen shot of paypal payment. Here’s my entry for LATSOF this weekend:

I kept looking up the sky that morning while the meeting was going on.

I was craving for fruit and saw this tree with a fruit.  I thought that cravings would be filled but nah, the fruit is not edible.

Happy weekend to all!

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!

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.

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.
