I will share here photos, taken on the Christmas Eve while having some fun with the kids, my cousins and relatives. My boyfriend gave me budget to buy toys and other gifts to share to them that made the Christmas merrier. I planned to gave the gifts after the Christmas Eve mass but it was changed because the kids always asking when they can get and open their gifts. So I gave their gifts just right before going to mass.

My cousin's family from Cebu visit us here in Iligan City to spend Christmas. Her kids want to have fun so we decided to go swimming at Timoga swimming pool. We reached their around 12 noon but it was not a hot day. And after a few hours we experienced rain showers which is not good because it makes the water so much colder. Here are some fun pics i want to share.
Today, two bombs blasts minutes apart in 2 different department stores in Iligan City. The explosions killed workers and wounding for around 40 people. The city is under the red alert status after the two explosions. No one has claimed responsibility for the two consecutive blasts in the city, but officials have blamed Muslim rebels for similar attacks in the volatile region in the past few months. There's a captured from CCTV camera from one of the department store, a man wearing muslim's religious dress, who left a package on the store's baggage counter. My mother told me that our neighbors who are vendors near that store, were injured and is now at the hospital. Let's pray for them and for peace in Mindanao.
This is my first time having an opportunity to post from blogvertise. It's been a long time since i am member of this site. They put their tasks in bag and I just got 2 tasks from it. So i better start writing now. Hope they will approve it for good.

Misa de Gallo (Rooster's Mass) in the traditional Spanish and in Filipino as Simbang Gabi, or "Night Mass", this novena of Masses is the most important Filipino Christmas tradition. It will start tomorrow dawn so I need to go to bed early so i can wake up as early as 3am. The mass will be starting at 4am but needs to go earlier so we can still have seats. Simbang-gabi masses are expected to have a lot of church-goers. Going to mass this early for nine consecutive days is meant to show the churchgoer's devotion and faith as well as to heighten anticipation for the Nativity of Jesus. In traditional Filipino belief, however, completing the novena is also supposed to mean that God would grant the devotee's special wish or favour. See you at the church!hehe
As i promised, i will share you some beach photos taken last Sunday on my cousin's thanksgiving party for passing the teachers board examination. We had so much fun at the beach. Played badminton with my cousins. Though it rained when we are on our way home already but still was very good day!
Our telephone line for home was accidentally cut by our neighbor last November 29, 2008, saturday afternoon. Haven't report it till Tuesday, because they don't open Sunday and was holiday that Monday. My mother reported it early Tuesday and they just told her that they will send technician to fix it. But then no one came up to fix the line, so i kept asking my friend who has telephone to call again and again. I also went at their office 3 days after mother called them but still no responce. Week passed and i can't still use my internet connection for there is no telephone line. PLDT company in Iligan City needs more improvement in giving good service to their customer because we pay right! If they lack of people for giving service then they must hire because i think for the expensive bill we paid every month, they can also afford to employ more technicians for faster services! I just got back my telephone line today, Monday morning December 8, 2008 after 1 week and 1 day of waiting. Grrrrrrrrr to them!
Yesterday, i had the opportunity to visit and see some part of Marawi City. My cousin who graduated at MSU main campus invited me to go with her. She was checking some information from the school because she just passed the licensure examination for teachers. It was an hour of travel from Iligan City till we arrived the school. We did some site seeing and here's some photos we took.
