Nandito na Ako!

Ang Pagbabalik!

Maraming pagbabagong dumarating sa buhay ng tao sa bawat araw na nabubuhay sya sa mundong ito. Char! napaka-tagaleg naman. Na-alala ko sabi ni BOB Ong idol, pumili ka ang lingwaheng kumportable kang gamitin sa pagsusulat. Kaya pasensya na sa di nakaka-inti ng Filipino, di lang talaga ako "at-ease" sa english. Friendship kami, pero hindi kami "SUPER-CLOSE". Napili kung gamitin ang sariling wika para simulan muli ang aking blog... yehey! nandito na naman ako!


Isang taon na ang nakalipas o siguro mas matagal pa dun ang huling post ko sa Blog na ito sa kabila ng dami ng pictures na nakolekta ko. Pa'no ba naman kasi, ninakaw ung digicam ko at sa maraming pang kadahilanan kaya nagka-amnesia ako at nawala sa isipan ko ang blog ko. Nasa blog na ito rin ang ala-ala ng Mama ko, na masakit man tanggapin ay iniwan na kami. Pero masaya na rin kasi kasama na nya si Lord, mabuti pa sya.

Ano kayang nakain ko at bumalik ang memory ko? Hindi ko rin alam, pero nauubos na ang memory ng laptop ko kakasave ng mga pictures na ako lang ang nakakakita.. kaya "its time to share it to the WORLD".. so WORLD... here it is!....

Sa aking pagbabalik, marami tayong aabangan... watch out!

Mahal ang tinola
Mahal na rin ang kanin
Sa panahon ngayon
Pati asin mahal na rin

Kelangan kung kumayod, kelangan kung gawin
Itong bakal aking tutunawin
Kelangan pagbutihin, kelangan sipagan
Dahil itong bakal, baka ay madaganan

Konting ilaw, takip sa mata
Dahil baka bukas ako'y bulag na
Kelangan ko rin ng "eyemo"
Dahil mamya magmumukha na 'kong "emo"

Siga pa! Hala Siga!
Takip uli, proteksyon sa mata
Siga pa! Hala Bira!
Bakal, dumikit ka na

29. WASH DAY!

Time to help my granny and so I decided to visit her at the farm. That would be four hours of land travel from our place. I miss her so much since the last time I saw her was 8 months ago and its Christmas break, it would also be a nice time for me to plant some rubber tree and help her manage the farm. However, when I arrived, she told me that December is not a good season for planting rubber, its best to cultivate those trees on May or during summer. And so I guess I have to wait, nevertheless, I still did my job. I watched over her cows, carabao and goats. I can’t forget the goat I made a fight with that small creature.

Granny's Farm

Ah, to add to my adventure, I also played with the chickens, actually what I wanted was to eat “tinolang manok” during dinner and native chicken is far better than commercial ones. I exerted some effort; give my best trick but no good in doing it since I have not caught one. But we had a delicious supper. The next day, granny told me that we will be visiting grandpa (granny’s brother) whose place is quite far from her. So we ride on a “trailer”, a vehicle used to carry farm goods, and travel for 45 minutes.

WAsh DAY!

Along the way, a nice event catches my eyes. I have not seen it for quite a long time. Along the irrigation, several women and children were washing their clothes. It was their “WASH DAY!”

Amazing

I immediately grabbed my camera and took some shots. I really thought that tradition is extinct since people living near that big water bank have accessed to electricity and “Lawasa” water.

Along the irrigation

I’m very happy seeing an event like that exists up to this time.

28. tigabutang ug sapatos sa kabayo

This time i decided to write this in bisaya...

Tour time na sa among SPVM Conference ug padulong na mi sa Camp john Hay. Kay nagtuo ang amo driver na muadto mi sa butterfly santuary, iya sad gi-parking ang jeep duol sa parkinganan sa kabayo. Ug sa dihang dili man diay didto amo destinasyon, sa taas pa diay, pero before pa makalarga si kuya driver, ngpicture-picture sa ko sa gawas kay katulgun naman kaayo ako beauty.

Daghan man jud diay kabajo (kabayo) sa baguio. Mahal ra ba kaayo ang abang per hour pero wala japun ko ng-abang kay di ko gnahan manimaho ug kabayo.. ako na lng gipicturan si manong samtang nagpainum sa iyang alaga.

Milakaw-lakaw pako arun mawala ako antok, ug kaning si kuya, lahi sad ang gibuhat, sapatos tingali ni sa kabayo bah. Naghuna-huna ko, ngano kinahanglan man nila ug sapatos? sus! lig-un raba ila shoes kay bakal jud unlike sa akoa na dali ra kaayo madaut..branded ra ba unta.. hehehehe

Tungod kay hadlok man ko masipaan sa kabayo kay sakit daw kaayo, mibalik nako sa amo service, but before pa jud ko mibalik, naa pa jud ko nakuhaan. Kaning si kuya, nagpasuot na jud ug sapatos sa iyng alagang kabayo.. careful kaayo si kuya kay basin lahi iya maigo.. basin ang tiil ug dili na ang kuko. SUS! ipako man jud diay sa ilang kuko ang sapatos.. maayo na lang kay baga ila kuko.. dili sama sa akoa..

Nah! kay murag kasipaun naman kaayo ang kabayo, mihawa nako. Ug timing sad na milarga na amo sakyanan kay adto na daw mi sa ibabaw, inig balik nako puhon musakay na jud ko ug kabayo.

27. Nagpaparent ng Costume

This year's SPVM was in Baguio City. We arrived 1 day ahead from our pals and had nothing to do so my students and I decided to have a tour within the city. We went to the usual tourist destinations like Camp john Hay, Strawberry Farm (La trinidad, benguet) , the mansion, botanical garden and mines view park. Being so excited with "what can we see" at the famous mines view park, we immediately went inside, however the smell of the "bulad na pusit" made us stop and just could not resist its tempting invitation to have a bite so we bought some for P15.00 and continued walking down.

Igorot costumes

We were attracted with the red-green Igorot costume and just to know how it feels to be an igorot even for a while, we decided to rent a costume for a price of P10.00/person. Its a complete apparel (costume + props).

Karl- feeling igorot

Nice business i thought, since Baguio City is a crowded place, there will always be people just like us who would like to wear traditional clothing.. (souvenir purposes)

I was thinking how would the owner look like if he wears one (the bahag ang ako pasabot), but then maybe its not part of the package .. since he's not wearing traditional clothing ..kitamS!


But then i had a nice souvenir with some students wearing the traditional igorot clothes.. see? murag wala sila gitugnaw...:-)

26. Slow down, men working

Road makers sila....

Vacant time, kaya decide ako pumunta na naman ng Cagagan de Oro City para makita ang aking mga girl friends and para na rin makabonding sila kahit paminsan -minsan. Thats one thing i really enjoyed during weekends. I dont think ill be enjoying my life more if puro na lang ako work.. of course work and no play will make me a dull girl.

Sakay na ko sa bus and luckily bakante ang front seat. Yes! i really like to seat in front, feeling driver kasi ako. Kaya off we go, drive na kami papuntang cagayan. However, nakaramdam ako ng pagkahilo kasi si mamang driver ang bilis mgpatakbo, nasira pa tuloy ang aking hair style. Nways, kumain na lang ako ng "snow bear" at mabuti na lang nawala na ang drousy feeling.

After a while, nagkataka na lang me bakit medyo may traffic sa lonely highway. Unusual, siguro may inaayos na kalsada. I bet, im right!.. meron nga! kuha ako agad ng aking camera para makunan sila, magandang sample ito for my blog.

Since matulin magdrive si manong kanina, at ngayon medyo nagslow down sya, nagkaroon nga ako ng chance para sa pictorial. Di lang nga maganda ang aking mga pictures kasi di naman ako gifted or should i say talented. Pero ok naman, u can still see it.

Pero bakit kelangan pa bang sirain ang simentadong daan, kelangan ba talaga ito ng repair? kaya tumingin ako sa bintana to see clearly the road. kelangan nga pala talaga ng repair, kasi cracked na... according sa linear expansion theory, nag-exceed na ang road sa kanyang thermal expansion coefficient.. joke lang!

Medyo nagcause nga ng discomfort ang pagsasaayos nila ng kalsada kasi ang dating two lines, ginawa muna nilang 1. At may instant traffic person pa.. tigdala ng Stop, and Go sign! in the absence of traffic light. Instant nga! Buti nga at di ako ngmamadali at mabuti na lang nasa GO kami kaya di kami nghintay ng matagal.

Kahit nakaabala sila sa "flow" pero later, we will benefit rin naman sa renovation na kanilang ginagawa. I just hope na matapos na ang project ASAP.

25. Tour Guide

"I dont know exactly how to call her job but i think "tour guide" would be nice since she toured me in their aviary"

On my way to Cagayan de Oro City, i saw a sign while i was inside the Jeepney, it says "Opol Aviary". I immediately made "para" and visited the place. "Entrance Fee P30.00", its quite expensive for a place like this i thought but then i still entered the place and paid the fee. A nice smile welcomed me and so i made a smile too. (Hmmm... very hospitable!) Near the entrance gate, i saw a baby crocodile but then my desire to have a pee first distracted me from my amazement at the baby crocodile so i went directly to the comfort room. (WOW! very comforting!). That was really a relief, and i focused my attention again at the baby crocodile. A charming girl welcomed me again and showed me the inside of a large cage. When i entered, i made a WOW! Never seen anything like this soo close.

I was sort off shocked when a big bird approached me and made kis-kis at my legs.. mukhang sanay na sanay sa tao. I didnt know if that was really a bird or a chicken but the guide told me it was really a bird. I took several pictures of this "unusual bird". But then, i wasn't satisfied yet so i asked the guide what else can they offer. She then showed me eagles, maya from china and other birds... birds and birds.. different colors, sizes and form pero lahat sila may pakpak.

Ako parrot!

Ako Ibon!

Love bird ako!

Ako Hornbill from Palawan!

Those were some of the variety of birds ive seen at the Opol Aviary, aside sa Ibon, meron pa silang maamong Philippine deer, a very dear creature indeed! hehehehe


Marami pang ipinakitang animals ang tour guide kong si SArah, pero di ko kinunan ng pictures, ang tour guide ko na lang.

Marami ring naging kwento si sarah sa akin, pero amin na lng iyon ... but thanks to her, i learned a lot about birds and i enjoyed my tour. maraming salamat sa kanya.
