SkyWatch Friday # 4 - Cagayan de Oro Aerial

On my last SWF, I have shared to you the view of the sky taken while on flight from Cagayan de Oro to Manila, this time I'm showing the skies I've seen taken on my return flight last Friday Oct. 23, 2009.

I took this shot using also my casio exilim point and shot camera while the plane is taking its final approach to Cagayan de Oro City.

Chicken Shawarma

The company I work at has future plan to transfer SO Mindanao Regional Office from Iligan City to Cagayan de Oro City. The new management wants an accessible and more secured location for the Control Center so they are pursuing the plan and targeted to finished the project by December next year.

Just in case I’ll still be around by December this year after the individual evaluation of employee competence, I’ll be included on the number of employees to be relocated in Cagayan de Oro City. So just in case, my husband and I decided to purchase a piece of land in CDO and plan to settle there in the future.

October 17, 2009 Jes and I went for site viewings of the prospect lot in an exclusive newly develop subdivision near CDO airport together with Jen & his husband of Robinson’s Land. And at the end of the day we decided to procure the prospect piece of land, a corner lot on Fresno Parkview Homes. We paid for the reservation fee and will be paying the rest on 24-months amortization.

Maybe two years from now with God’s will and graces we can build our new home there and start another a new life in CDO. Crossfingers!

After the transaction and before going back to Iligan we had our snacks at Turquoise Turkish Restaurant in SM Cagayan and ordered our new favorite ‘CHICKEN SHAWARMA” whew! what a delicious meal.

Monochrome Entry # 1 - Lady Duck

While doing my blog walking I discovered another photo theme that interest me that is the Monochrome Weekly Theme. I explored the site and seen so many beautifully shot monochromes, so I decided to join the fun and share mine photos too.

So as my first entry, here is a lady duck enjoying the fresh scent of the lake. This photo was taken near our home in Zamboanga City. I was familiarizing my camera then and luckily got this shot. I did some experiments on the picture and as a result a very charming monochrome, my first ever monochrome photo.

Hope you like it too...
Have a great week!

Today's Flower - Anthuriums

My fourth entry for Today’s Flower is just one of the species of the large genus Anthurium that belongs to the Arum family.

Anthurium is also called as “Flamingo Flower” or “Boy Flower” because of its structure. It grows in many forms it can be bushy or climbing epiphytes (epiphytes are plants that grow upon another plant or trees).

Anthuriums flowers are hermaphrodite, containing male and female flowers about 3mm small crowded in a spike called spandix the outer portion is called spathe a modified bract that is leathery in texture. Others have mistaken the “spathe” as the flower but it is not, the flowers are solely found on the “spandix”.

I'm Free!

Finally the 3-day seminar workshop is over. I'm so relieved now that my brain finally has a rest from thinking and brain storming about the workshop for now until this weekend. My brain will resume working again on Monday upon reporting at the office in Iligan City.

We'll be taking the 9:30AM flight tomorrow for Cagayan de Oro City and need to drop by at Dept. of Foreign Affairs to get my passport. My husband will meet me tomorrow at CDO and we'll be going home together.
