ecclesiastes 3: 1-11 (niv)

from the web

1 There is a time for everything,

    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

²     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
⁶     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
⁷     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

⁹ What do workers gain from their toil? ¹⁰ I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. ¹¹ He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Mars Needs Moms

watched Mars Needs Moms on Star Movies last Saturday (Aug 4) at home....

Milo : What is going on?

Gribble: Mars needs moms, so the aliens are stealing them from Earth to raise their own kids.

Buti nalang mabait na akong anak ngayon, if not then baka makuha ng mga aliens si Mama. Hehe.


This is my favorite (I cried) movie part. Oh, the selfless love of a mother...

My HERO

Reminded of a children song:

When I look at Jesus, I see
Everything that I want to be
When I look at Jesus
I can see My Hero

Luke 19:10

The Son of Man came to look for the lost and save them.

Cagayan de Oro : MUSEUM OF THREE CULTURES

Capitol University Museum of Three Cultures

The Capitol University Museum of Three Cultures, an attraction both of history and cultural value, is packed with curious visitors. It features Mindanao's three cultures of Maranao of Marawi, Iligan of Cagayan de Oro and the Indigenous Peoples of Northern Mindanao.
The museum is divided in three divisions. First one to welcome the guests is the "Kasaysayan" (History) which is a collection of old photographs of Cagayan de Misamis and Northern Mindanao. There are huge bottles used as perfume containers during the Hispanic era as well as Chinese porcelain and pottery excavated from Butuan City's archeological sites.
The second division is the Posaka Maranao which showcases the collection of Madame Laureana San Pedro Rosales’ collection of antique Maranao brasswares, jewelry, musical instruments, textiles, wooden crafts mainly from Tugaya, Lake Lanao. Believed to be the most extensive collection of Maranao antique materials, Rosales' collection includes gold, silver and ivory Maranao heirlooms dating as far back as China's Sung Dynasty.
The third part is called Rawari, a Lumad name of the river that traverses from Matigsalug to Manobo territories of Southern Bukidnon. Here, visitors can find masterpieces of local artists since this part is especially designed to promote the craftsmanship and skills of the exhibitors.

Yes, another museum last weekend. This museum was opened four years ago. Much that I want to take pictures of the artifacts inside, we were not allowed. But, all I can say is that " Better come and see!" Hehe.. And you will know why taking pictures is prohibited. I got this picture below from the web (the only picture from the web). Ana ka strict! .

 I want to go to museums. Unfortunately, the city I came from don't have one. So, when I learned that CDO has several here, I grabbed the chance to go to one of the famous museums of the city.  It's inside the campus of  Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan.. The building is just  few steps from the university's entrance gate.  Museo de Oro is one of the must-spots in CDO as well.  


The museum has 3 exhibits. EXHIBIT 1 is all about "Misamis at the time of Jose Rizal".

 A replica of the original Noli Me Tangere by Rizal.

Okay, of all the antiques I saw, two things made me say "hala, haha!".. Number 1 is this below... an old -time FLAT IRON.  Charcoal is placed on top , without cover.

 EXHIBIT 2. The old-time musical nstruments, weapons, and farming tools and equipments. Though some I believe are still used today.

 This is my Number 2 "hala, haha"... An old german piano.... No note stand, instead two candelabras/candle holders, one of each front side. .. Seeing one like this made me happeee.. :)

 EXHIBIT 3. The old-time costumes of natives of Misamis and Bukidnon.

 Note: Entrance fee is P20 only. Sulit na sulit. A gentleman history professor was kind enough to accompany us to tour around the three exhibits. Thank you allowing us to take pictures sir.
