A Year after Typhoon Sendong

Today we remembered the day when Typhoon Sendong devastated our place. It is exactly one year today and as I looked back the past on how we were able survive during the flood, it was such a horrible and tragic experience and we don't want that tragedy to happen again. A few weeks ago, we were forced to evacuate from our home due to the warning signal of Typhoon Pablo which is said to be stronger than Typhoon Sendong.

Without any other doubts or hesitations, we left our home immediately because we don't want to experience how we ran for our lives looking for a safe place to stay. At least now we are already aware so whenever there's a storm coming in our city and we were alarmed about it, we already know it so it would be easy for us to move out. Life after Typhoon Sendong was quite uneasy at first since we have to adjust and it seems like we are just starting out from the very beginning. But thanked God that after a year, we were able to stand up and had already moved on with our lives.

  Mga higala! It's that time of the year when the Province of Bukidnon’s beloved and famous KAAMULAN FESTIVAL will be held again this March 23 to April 23, 2023! Usually held in Malaybalay City from the last week of March to about mid-April, Kaamulan Festival is an ethnic festival highlighting the indigenous culture of Bukidnon, and honoring the custom and traditions of the seven (7) original tribal groups in the province namely - the Bukidnon, Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon and Umayamnon. This is the gathering of the 7 tribes to celebrate and for thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. The festival name is from a Binukid term "amul" which means gather. Kaamulan Festival has become one of my favorite festivals in Mindanao.

So without further ado, here's the updated Schedu

Impulsive Christmas Shopping

Did you know that impulsive Christmas shopping is a problem which plagues many of us during this holiday season? Some of the problems which often comes out from impulsive Christmas shopping are going over budget, buying frivolous items and even forgetting about items that were already purchased. While there are many problems which are often associated with impulsive Christmas shopping, it is important to remember that sometimes impulsive Christmas shopping is a good idea. When you see an item that you just know will make the perfect Christmas gift for a friend or relative and purchase the item without giving it any thought that is the exact definition of impulsive shopping.  However, it is also not necessarily a bad thing. Buying a gift on impulse is not a problem when the gift you purchase is a great gift for the intended recipient but impulse Christmas shopping becomes problematic when it causes the shopper to go over budget or purchase silly items they wouldn’t normally buy.
