Gifts on Occassions

Another Love Q from tot's mom.

Usually, in the early days of a relationship or marriage, buying each other gifts especially on certain occasions is a must. We take the trouble and the time to shop for a gift to make it really special.
But as time goes on, we may still buy a gift or two but it is no longer as important as both become a little too comfortable with each other. Sometimes, people may even skip buying gifts altogether after a few years into a relationship.
So, for Love Q, let me pose this:
Do you think buying gifts is important in a relationship? And do you expect a gift from your partner now and then?

>>> Material gifts for me is not so important but if you can afford something to give for your love ones in a special occassion of course it's appreciated as its one way of letting her/him know that you are thinking of her/him. And it's good to cherish each special day with a special attention or a gift from the one you love.

Iligan City is on State of Calamity

While i am writing this post, i am also listening to the news from radio station here in Iligan City, they having coverage of the happenings in some towns of Lanao del Norte. Many civilians died of the attack of the MILF rebels in municipality of kolambugan, kauswagan and maigo started early dawn today. Some of the houses were burned and shot some animals like carabao and horses. Some of the people living in kauswagan area are evacuates now here in Iligan City National High School for their safety and some are at Buru-un, Fisheries School. And those from kolambugan and maigo went to Ozamis City. I am worried because my uncle, my father's youngest brother and his wife are living at Maigo. When my mother called him he said that they're still at their place and will be ready to evacuate when they can't handle it. I have friends who is living also in Maigo and they are safety already because they are at Ozamis City now. President Arroyo declared an All-out War against the MILF rebels. While the local government here in Iligan declared that there will be a curfew hour in the city starting 10pm tonight till 5am in the morning. And there will be no classes tomorrow for all students in public and private schools. Iligan City is on state of calamity because of all the things happened since yesterday. Please let us all pray for peace especially in Mindanao.

Bombing in Iligan City

At around 5 o'clock yesterday, August 17. 2008, two improvised explosive devices went off 20 minutes apart in two budget hotels in Iligan City. At the Traveler's Inn near Lodu Building, along Cabili Ave., where three people were wounded and another exploded later at the Caprice Lodge, along Badelles St.
No group claimed responsibility for the twin blasts but the City Mayor Lawrence Lluch Cruz said that maybe this happened just to frighten the people in Iligan City. And he hopes this is not related to our disagreement to be part of the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity. As we knew that we had a protest actions against the inclusion of eight of the city’s 44 barangays among some 700 villages in Mindanao that are being considered for inclusion in the proposed Bangsamoro Juridical Entity under the government-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) agreement. The eight barangays are Digkilaan, Dulag, Hindang, Kalilangan, Lanipao, Mainit, Panoroganan and Rogongon. The City Mayor encouraged all the people in Iligan to be always vigilant all the time. He likewise advised the public to avoid crowded places. He assure that the government can handle this.
Let us all pray for peace.

The Marriage Institution

These days, for every marriage almost half ends in divorce. People no longer treat marriage as a ’till-death-do-us-part’ arrangement unlike the past. Instead when things get rough, divorce is a very viable option because a divorcee no longer faces any social stigmas associated with a failed marriage.

But if divorce is becoming rampant and marriage doesn’t mean you have to stick with a person through thick and thin, is there any more meaning to marriage? In fact, nowadays many couples just choose to live together without even bothering to get married.

So, for Love Q #:

Is the idea of marriage outdated?

>>> Marriage is very important and it is not outdated. Because i believe that the exact blessings for the couple together will be given in time that they do the holy matrimony. And it is more peace in mind living together as married couple than just live-in couple. Eventhough we cannot deny that there are a lot of divorce or separation happened, still marriage is important for me.

My Weekend

I went to my friend's house last weekend so i haven't check in here. We went to different beach resorts and looked on their views and cottages, last saturday. And on our sunday, after going to church we went swimming to the new build swimming pool, but it's actually my second time visiting the said pool. I will share some photos of one resort we visited. They have their own big swimming pool, have open and closed cottages for those who want to stay longer on their resort.

Jackfruits at our backyard

We have some fruit trees around the house usually at our backyard like guava, guyabano and jackfruit. Today i noticed that the jackfruit tree bearing alot of fruits and and some of it are already reaching the roots area.
I don't like this fruit very much. I like jackfruit when it roll with banana and then fry, this is what we called turon.

Staying For The Sake Of The Kids

In many relationships, people grow out of love. They change along the way with one partner drifting further and further away from the other on an emotional level.
But many also choose to stick together and go through the motions because of the kids. They may not adore each other anymore but because they share the same priority, happiness is sacrificed to function as a family unit.
It is a sad situation but I think it is also a reality among many married couples today. My question to you this week for Love Q:

Should couples stay together for the sake of the kids when love is no longer present? Can it work?

>>>>In this case, i think is best to stay together because as couple they are already became one in the eyes of God and to everybody. Eventhough that something change with their feelings to each other but they have the responsibility to be there for their kids and there's still possibility that they can work for their relationship when they are close than being apart. And because they fell inlove before, its possible that they will fall inlove again.

Check out Love Qs at tot's mom page. And have fun by joining.

Iligan City on Bangsa-Moro Ancestral Domain

Last sunday, after the mass at the St. Michael's cathedral church here in Iligan City, one announcement is asking everybody to join the scheduled mass rally. This happened today, Monday, at 8 o'clock in the morning in front of the City's post office. The said rally is a protest actions against the inclusion of eight of the city’s 44 barangays among some 700 villages in Mindanao that are being considered for inclusion in the proposed Bangsamoro Juridical Entity under the government-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) agreement. The eight barangays, however, will be part of the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity only if they vote for inclusion in the August 2009 plebiscite. The eight barangays are Digkilaan, Dulag, Hindang, Kalilangan, Lanipao, Mainit, Panoroganan and Rogongon. Officials say the land area of these barangays constitutes 87% of the city’s total land area and are reportedly not predominantly Moro. City officials said they plan to hold public assemblies in the eight villages to know the sentiments of the affected residents.
Lanao del Norte 1st district Rep. Vicente Belmonte Jr. meanwhile is expected to deliver a privilege speech in the house of Representatives to oppose the addition of eight barangays of Iligan City and other barangays under Lanao del Norte. Iligan City Mayor Lawrence Cruz said 66,502.14 hectares or 81.76 percent of Iligan lands will go to the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity if the MOA is approved. Cruz added that majority of Iligan City constituents does not want to be included in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao based from the 1989 and 2001 plebiscite.
