MYM#98 Sunrise At Sta. Ana








Photo was taken during my first photoshoot with Davao Photographers for Peace last February 4, 2012 at Sta. Ana Wharf. I thought it would rain that day but thankfully, the skies cleared up at the sun started to rise to lighten up all over the place.

1. When it comes to make a decision, I could get quite decisive.

2. Always be honest, that must be the rule.

3. Ma says, be honest and be hardworking. Things will be easier if you do that.

4. I am thinking of buying a friend's Canon camera lens at the same time I want to buy another friend's iPad. Oh, what to do! Money's so tight.

5. I never saw Taj Mahal for real but I hope someday soon I will.

Mellow Yellow Monday#97 Kinilaw


Photobucket

One of my favorite native dish is the "kinilaw". Considered one of the oldest fish dishes in the Philippines, it uses fresh fish fillet like tuna, grouper, sea brass or any fresh seafood. As a raw seafood, it is a quite popular dish in the Southern Philippines. It is preferably soaked with native vinegar or native lemon, salt and pepper and garnished with sliced onions, tomatoes, ginger and red pepper.

3. Don't worry, I will save up for the lens.

4. Eat good for the day. Eat a little in the evening.

5. Pretty much a no-brainer. Tell the trust or face the consequences.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”, tomorrow my plans include paying my bills and figuring out how I should earn more income to finance my travel plans and Sunday, I want to play tennis and take a nap in the afternoon!

There Will Be Love On Valentine's Day

There may be more percentage of marital separations nowadays but marriage for most Filipinos is still important. With the growing cost of everything, couples who want to get married could not just oo it right away. Thus, it is such a big relief to know that somebody took the initiative to hold a mass wedding for free.

Pag-IBIG shall hold a mass wedding event for members belonging to various groups on February 14 2012. The event shall also include couples who wish to renew their vows and have been married for at least 25 years. For those who are interested, go to the nearest Pag-IBIG Fund branch to get listed. The couples would need to secure their own marriage license to get included in the final list.

4. Working out everyday is something I love to do!

5. TP is something I don't know. It could be anything.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to just doing some relaxing, tomorrow my plans include going to a birthday party, watching the movie, A Mother's' Story and Sunday, I want to play tennis and to play credit card bills!

We Should Have Them Earlier









This year is promising to be quite a busy one judging by how hectic the past few days were. Just for this month, several activities have already been lined up not only for our division but for the entire company. It was announced last year that our penalty condonation program for our delinquent borrowers shall take effect for six months starting January 1, 2012. With the announcement, we expected to get our custom tarps from the Head Office before the year 2011 ended. They should help in our information dissemination campaign but it is already almost mid-January and we have yet to receive them.

Through the years, we have always used tarps in our information campaign but budget constraints limited our use for them last year. However, this ongoing  big project really needs some massive information blitz and so, we really need those tarps.

We have been thinking of ordering our own custom made tarps locally but the budget for the said items would need approval from the Head Office. So, the option is to wait a little further for the ones that would came from the Head Office and just generate the information letter to inform our delinquent borrowers to avail of the penalty condonation program.

1. Discussions are useless if things stay muddled and actions never undertaken.

2. It is hard to say goodbye but goodbyes are necessary when things are not the same as it was and it is time to move on.

3. I think it's time to not take things for granted and not to just take things as they flow. There are times that it is better to be an action-getter than to be just a mere fence-sitter.

4. Our playful cat always puts a smile on my face.

5. Maybe sometime will give us time to think what is better for us and to know what action should be done.

6. Praying gives me strength.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having a body massage, tomorrow my plans include doing the grocery and maybe watch a movie and Sunday, I want to play tennis and distribute the late Christmas gifts!

This is one of the float-participants during the Lamdag Dabaw (Christmas Lights) parade last December 21, 2011. The parade which started last year is starting to get popular among the locals for its beautifully lighted floats.

Happy New Year!



Happy New Year!

I wanted to do some posts here last month but being too busy and the slow connection prevented that plan. Nevertheless, I am greeting everybody a happy and healthy, prosperous New Year!

I'm not much of a new year's resolution maker but I promise myself to do better this 2012 than what I had done last year. Meantime, I'll try to post more here and I do hope, my dear readers, that you won't get tired coming in here.

Thank you very much!
