LATSOF – MVC Mornin Sky

An early morning sky.

A Therapeutic Place

If there is one accessible place to have a therapy then i will pick MVC.  Been there this weekend to visit my daughter.  I joined some parents who went up there to visit their kids who attended the NMC-Wide Camporee.  When we arrived, it was very obvious that the kids enjoyed the week although we can’t help to notice that their color changed.  Maybe it was because of the very favorable weather.  They spent Friday in hiking the hills around the campus and all had tales to tell to their parents and worth keeping until they grow old.

The place is not a rehabilitation place for people with drug problems but i heard that there are some people who have emotional problems that gets well over there. Maybe it’s because of the solemn environment and very far from the city stresses. A friend even exclaimed that the place is a good place for a drug rehab. I have to give her the look that says “what? u think my school campus got drug addicts?” But in reality, i think so too. So if in the future, there would be buildings that will be sprouting in nearby hills like Kilangi area or even beyond the Mt. Nebo, then maybe they are drug rehab centers.  If that happens then for sure i would recommend the place to friends who have family members or friends who needs rehabilitation.

It’s my first time to visit the campus in the last 5 years that i really enjoyed going around.  Though i was mostly alone going around – yet i had all the time to stop to take photos and close my eyes to think of by gone days.  I stood at the spot where i answered my college sweetheart “yes”! and also remembered the spot where we saw the bird that just died days later under my care. lol!  It died of the cold you know.  It was really cold in that campus which we all love.  The air conditioners are all so natural that you need thick woolens to comfort you to sleep.

Anyway, tonight, it’s going to be my first time to interview my daughter of her unforgetable experiences over there.

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.

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.
