She is back

My mother just arrived at home from the province.  I’m so happy she is back, I don’t need to hurry myself to back home from the office. Things will be back to normal

I’m much happier for my mother because she can now have better rest, free from stress and relaxing time at home.

To have background of what she was stressed for;  because of the none stop flooding, my grandparents need to evacuate and they need a new home. My mother tasked to facilitate and manage the building of a new small house (bahay kubo) for my grandparents.

Alhamdulillah

DFA – RCO

NOW OPEN…

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

REGIONAL CONSULAR OFFICE

PEOPLE’S PALACE, COTABATO CITY

OPEN LAST AUGUST 6, 2009

The Department of Foreign Affairs just open its Regional Consular Office in Cotabato City located at the new City Hall Building known as People’s Palace, Cotabato City.

This is very helpful and accessible for all residents of Cotabato City and nearby cities and municipalities because they don’t need to go to Davao City to file and process their passport applications.

Started last September 1, 2009, passport applications were accepted and processed at the said RCO.

7 Day Vacation

I am so excited on my 7-Day Vacation, it is from September 17, 2009 to September 23, 2009. I will be out from the office on September 17, 18, 22 and 23. Holiday will be observe on September 21 in the observance of the Eid’l Fitr (Festival of Breaking Fast). And Of course, Saturday and Sunday are included to complete the 7.

The Sept 17, 18, 22 and 23 were filed as an additional Vacation Leave credits from my previous client.

I will be spending my 3 day vacation in going to Cotabato City for my second dose of vaccine scheduled on September 18, 2009. I will be leaving Davao on Sept 17 and be back on 19. Because I am observing the Fast of Ramadhan, vaccine will be given after the time of breaking fast in the evening.

Eid’l Fitr will be tentatively on September 20 or 21, which depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon at the night of September 19. If the moon will be sighted on that night, automatically September 20 will be announced as day of Eid’l Fitr. However, if the moon will not be sighted, the following day, September 21 will be announced as day of Eid’l Fitr.

Nevertheless, either on September 20 or 21 will be announced as day of Eid’l Fitr, I will observe Eid’l Fitr and perform the early morning Eid’l Fitr prayers at the Ecoland Islamic Center with my family and friends.

To avoid confusion, Malacañang declaration (September 21 – National Holiday) is not necessarily the day of Eid’l Fitr and the day for the Eid’l Fitr prayers. The day of Eid’l Fitr Muslim will depend through the sighting of the new crescent moon on the 29th day of Ramadhan (September 19).

Date tracking: I ended with September 20. I still have 3 days remaining for my vacation. I will spend it for my self and to my stuffs at home. I am planning to clean my room and arrange my documents, filed folders and school papers. I will buy plastic envelops to file them accordingly with label. Plastic envelop is a good file container for me instead of using folders and paper envelops that will give unusual smell after a long period of time – a smell of a old/spoiled paper.

This Vacation is a big help to my room, hekhek ^_^ .

I am hoping that all my plans will be finished and done appropriately, InshaALLAH.

I will be back at office on Thursday, September 24, 2009.

Here are our pix…

December 24, 2008

We had our family trip, we went to our province. We were 8 persons traveled using a private car. The trip was memorable to me because my bonus made the trip possible, I was in-charged for the gasoline expenses for the whole trip. Memorable also because it was the very first visit of my niece in our province and meet our grandparents and relatives.

December 27, 2008

We had our 4th year high school classmates reunion, 75% of the class participated. We also had our formal program in the middle of the activity. We decided to continue the reunion for the coming years and coordinate to those who were unable to join the reunion. We are hoping to have more participants next reunion.

It was an over night activity, then as usual I went home before 12 mid night. (hekhek  ;D )

December 31, 2008

In the whole year of 2008, it was my first and last swimming event.
At the last day of the year 2008, my mother and I accompanied my 3 cousins to the beach. We just walked our way to the beach since it is just a walking distance from our house.

Though my intentions were only to accompany my cousins and watch over them while they are enjoying at the beach I wasn’t able to stop myself from dipping. I just didn’t let the water touch my feet but I let my body feel the salt water. Hehehehe, in short, I joined my cousins and swam!

That was the first and last swimming event I had for the entire year of 2008.

It was tiring but nevertheless fun!

These were my experienced last December 2008.

Shukran and Alhamdulillah!
