“Power! Power!” —– is the word that we usually shout before the start of each challenge.
Back in college, I joined an international collegiate organization that would finance my schooling. There we would always have a lot of challenges. From a whole day training of Tong-il-mo-do (unified martial arts), lecture till midnight, quiz at 1:00AM, activities like those in extra challenge, food feeding, tree planting and a lot of things that I can’ forget.
But out of these, there’s one thing that we usually do that really changed me and helped me become what I am right now. It is our fund raising activity (FR) that we have to do on our everyday life except for those days that we have special activities or on those days that we are back at our home. (more..)
When I was maybe 12 years old, I remembered going into Caliraya Lake one summer vacation. We reached Caliraya Lake through a rented jeepney since we don’t have enough budget for transportation.
At first, I had to hold my breath, not because of the scenery but because of the kinda zigzag road that we passed to get there. But as soon as we reached the top, (I think that’s a mountain or maybe a hill) I held my breath again!!. but this time not because i’m afraid by because of the breath-taking place where I was.
The scenario is like you are ona zigzag road, on your right i’m not sure if that’s the Laguna bay or some other lakes in Laguna that looks so great when the rays of the sun is reflecting on it. Tehn on your left is where the green grass, trees, people having some activities such as water skiing, picnic, hills that are well landscaped, hotels..I just don’t knwo how to describe how it looks but all in all it’s a haven.

I’ve been working in a callcenter for 1 1/2 years. Since then i’ve been on graveyard shift and usually I would have my “lunch” from 3:00 AM – 5:00 PM. That said, viewing sunrise is impossible for me.
What I really missed are those beautiful morning whenever I open the door of our house in my province. Our house faces east and in front of it is a rice field. I love to embrace the rays of the sun that warms my body. But since I work here, I never had the same thing.
But who can tell, this day is my luck. We just had a shift bid this November and now my “lunch” starts at 5:30AM. I got a headache this morning so I went down and bought medicine at the nearest drugstore. There’s one thing i’ve noticed when i’m about to go back inside, the sun rays looks so beautiful reflecting on the windows and glass walls of the towering buildings here in Ayala. (more..)
Higantes Festival in Angono Rizal is celebrated every November 23. These is a fiesta of gigantic paper mache puppets usually 10 feet high. These is traditionally celebrated for the feast of Pope St. Clement I every November 22 to 23 of each year.
The celebration starts with the novena mass on the 14th till 22nd day of November, the devotees in prayer and thanksgiving,dance in the church patio after the novena mass. The dancing was accompanied by the Angono band with the the church bell ringing after playing the music.

Kids at the age of around 2 would normally cry when the puppets bow at them. I had that experience too! Though I know then that it’s just a puppet, still i’m afraid that the person who is carrying it would get out of balance making the puppet crashed on me!!
