A Yellow private plane at Dahilayan Adventure Park

I see this yellow private plane on the ground. Photobucket I wonder how much is the fare if you want to go for a ride. I am sure looking Dahilayan Adventure Park above is just breath-taking and scenic view to enjoy. I wonder who owns this yellow private plane.

I know that I cannot afford to ride in the yellow private plane. Photobucket We ride the zip line instead. This is my yellow pass in my wrist. Photobucket You need the yellow pass in your wrist or else you cannot ride the zip line.
Have you ride in a private plane before? Where did you? How much is the fare?

My kids and cousins at Country Village Hotel


This was July 7th 2012 when my kids and cousin flew from Cebu to Cagayan de Oro City. I was not around that time. I was in Boracay accompanying my Aunt’s friend from New York. I am his tour guide. Anyway, this is the day when they checked-in at Country Village hotel. Both my Aunt and my Mom stayed at the same hotel. They both stayed in second floor with just few rooms away from each other.

Photobucket
They all bond each other. I am glad that my kids can communicate with their American cousin. It seems like they are friends for a while. Actually they met when my cousin was a baby. The bond they have before continues when they meet each again six years after. I get this picture from my Aunt’s Facebook. Can you find my kids? The only boy is my oldest. My little girl is the third girls in the picture.

Celebrating my Grandma’s birthday at the cemetery



This was at Green Hills cemetery in Cagayan de Oro City. It is my Grandma’s birthday that day. We visited her at the cemetery during her birthday. We know that she is gone yet we cannot forget her birthday. We miss my Grandma Letty so very much. She is one best Grandma in the world aside from my other Grandma. When she was still alive, she helped many people and that includes me. She had helped me too with my education. I will never forget her.

Photobucket
When she was alive, I helped her clean her house. I go with her where she wants to go. I even took care of her when she was sick. It is my way of thanking her for all the help she give to me and  my family. I know that my Grandma Letty is gone but she will remain in our heart forever. When my Aunt was here, we visited her too with my cousin K. I am sure that if Grandma Letty is alive, she is happy to see her great-granddaughter K. Wherever you are Grandma Letty, I hope that you are very happy.

I am Diana and 28 years old. I live in Cagayan de Oro City. I graduated my college degree lasts March 30 2012. I finished Bachelor of Science Hotel and Restaurant Management. I love HRM because I want to become a manager someday in a hotel establishment. I am so glad that my Mom continues to support me in my studies, even though  I am a hardheaded daughter to her. So bless that I have the mom likes her whose always there when we need help.

Part of being a HRM student your expose to different kinds of functions and social etiquette. You learn the table manners and how to use the chinaware,glassware and silverware. I love being a HRM student because I have been to those places that I am always dreaming of  like Dakak Camiguin, Bohol, Boracay and Cebu. I am so happy that I am a HRM graduated student. I have no regrets of taking up this course. I am linking this entry to Blog Photo Challenge.

Tell me what I did wrong?

I am Diana and I am 28 years old. I was born in Cagayan de Oro City. I have 2 kids a boy and a girl. My life is full of trials and obstacles, but despite of that I am still standing and no matter what happen only GOD is my strength. When I am deeply hurt I do not know what to do.
Photobucket
But since I have kids I never give up because they are my inspiration and they are my life. When I was a teenager I remember I promise to myself that I do not want to have a broken family. I want to have a happy life. When I get pregnant, I decided to stay with the father of my kids, because I do not want that my kids to experience and feel the life when I was a child. But since I have respect to my mom who is the one who support my financial expenses and she also provide the needs of my kids. I was still young and only high school graduate. I promise to myself I will finish my college degree and to continue the relationship we had with my live-in partner. I am not really close to my mom. I was raised by my grandmother and aunts. They were my guardian in Cagayan de Oro. Life is not fair. I am not blaming anyone of what happen to my life. I want to continue the life that I choose because I know I can surpass all of this trials and obstacles. I just found that the father of my kids is having an affair with his dear cousin.  I was shock I never taught that he can do that to me. I trust him with all my heart and soul. But what happen all my hard works and effort is useless. But I guess GOD has more plans for me because he will not give this trials if I can not handle this. So tired but happy for what happen.
