Sidlak Iligan City!

Iliganon ka?  Bring home a friend.

Even if you are not -- you are still welcome to bring a friend.  We  would love to see you witness and enjoy the colorful Diyande Festival with us.  September is the thanksgiving month in honor  of Iligan Saint Patron, St. Michael  This year's fiesta slogan is SIDLAK ILIGAN.


Personally, the slogan speaks so much being an Iliganon.  Sidlak means SHINE so I feel that it is now a high time for Iliganons to shine.  I know they've been shining in the past years, but this year is going to be different.   This year will be a much brighter shine for the city.    This is also going be a different year for me.  I was born in this City of Many Waterfalls but I can say that I am a stranger to my own hometown.  My family have our permanent residence here but in my 39 years, I had 6 or 7 residences during my schooling years and working years in other places.  I came back in 2005 without a thought that I would permanently stay.  But beginning last year, I started to think I am staying for good.  In the 6 years that i've stayed and worked in Iligan City, there was not a fiesta time that I went out to the city to see the festive scenes for peace and safety reasons.  But that did not discouarage me to continue living in this place.


Thanks to Iligan Bloggers Society, they are giving me the opportunity to know more about my hometown.  And thanks in advance to them too for this might be the first year that I will enjoy the fiesta month weekends.  This is the first weekend, and earlier this evening, we were at the Rizal Park for the launching of the Project Angel Tree and after a quick dinner, we had to rush to the Ultra for the CineMo VIP Screening.  Details of these activities will be posted in my main blog. I will be posting it after this post.


This call BRING HOME A FRIEND also calls for me.  I'll bring myself home to my own home. lol!


Even before SeptemBER started, the was already the complete list of activities related to the Diyandi Festival.  You may check out this link - SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES so that you will have an idea which weekend u should come to witness the programs.

Spring Fling in Seoul - Arriving at Yeouido Park

Image
The moment we saw this stair with cherry blossom art, I knew this is it.  I was excited to see what's out there to see.  And this is my first glimpse of the cherry blossom in a perfect spring day! I think this is a welcome stage of the festival, but I was somewhat disappointed because I expected the place to be really filled with CB trees.  The trees I can see a bit further was not enough to satisfy my imagination.  I thought ito lang... Then we were told that we have to leave now because this is not the real place.  The place is farther ahead.  The guys with Jacel walked so fast. Not really fast but their strides were bigger than ours.  Since I walked alone, not together with the other 3 ladies, I walked next to the guys. I tried to keep them in sight because I cannot imagine what would happen if I get lost in the crowd. The crowd was quite big. So much people because it was the first day or opening day of the festival. We have to walked a kilo

Surigao del Sur Escapade: Enchanted at The Enchanted River

Image
Yay after a year, it's like I am able to make a summary of our summer 2015 escapade in Surigao del Sur that covered The Enchanted River, Tinuy-an Falls, and the Britania group of Islands. I may forget some minute details but I will try to narrate what I can remember according to the pics posted here. Disclaimer : All photos used in this post are mine, unless stated otherwise . Before coming, I have heard a lot about Enchanted River.  I've seen it many times online (thanks to Google). Many times I have wished that one day, I will be able to see and feel its waters - and that one day happened in July 2015. After traveling the whole night, we arrived at HInatuan before six o'lock in the morning.  We were one of the few who were early birds. We thought we were the first but nah. Never mind though.  The important thing is that we arrived safe and sound and the drivers can take their rest and few hours wink. I feel our faces are puffy after the whole night trip b
