T'nalak Festival 2013

Hello from the peaceful and beautiful province of South Cotabato. This post is so longgg over due but since I love festivals I'm gonna share this with you. :)))

T'nalak Festival is the celebration of good harvest of people of South Cotabato. I don't have much knowledge about its history but I think it came from a T'boli word.

Pictures below showing me in my scrubs only prove that I go out of work late already. hehe. #working woman***

Big Brother's Bio Profile

Yesteryear my brother asked me to make his biography. I didn't know what it is for then. Later did I realize it was for their thesis. I never had my bio profile for my thesis but anyway I just made it and here it is:

He was a bouncy little boy born on October 6, 1993 in Quijano Clinic and Hospital, Tacurong City. He was the youngest among the six children of Nelson and Alba Aguilar, a farmer and a housewife.   

He used to have a happy childhood days at the small farmland away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With the slow pace of life in the countryside he never worry about going to the mall and watch movies or play Xbox with a friend instead he enjoyed climbing fruit bearing trees, feeding pigs, ducks and chickens, catching fishes at the pond and riding a carabao. His life was great with crazy at times elder brothers and sisters who keep on ordering him to get them water or wash dishes or bring them something and since he’s the youngest the poor boy has just to follow. He feels so great growing up in the big families like theirs cause he always have ates and kuyas to help him in his projects and assignments.

As time flies, life changes, priorities change and here comes the school. From the experience of being in the class, he begin to live a new and interesting life and then he started dreaming big that someday he would have a DVM (Doctor in Veterinary Medicine) attached to his name and be an asset to one of the biggest and most successful companies in the Philippines, the San Miguel Corporation.

He was so innocent then that he never knew yet the pains and struggles of the roller coaster ride journey they called life. But despite the obstacles he never stopped dreaming. Because he wasn’t born rich he was motivated to strive for academic excellence and so he passed the admission test of the Mindanao State University System. He continued soaring high hoping that one day he’ll get his diploma and earn a degree. His graduation marks the culmination of his parents’ efforts to send all of them (six siblings) into college despite their financial constraints.

It might be a cliché that a college diploma guarantees success later in life but this haciendero in the making believes that with his diploma at least he is one step closer to his dreams. With his upbringing and with his training at the university he would surely face the world with confidence. After all he wasn’t after for a luxurious life he just wanted a comfortable yet simple life. His parents taught him to live simply so when he grows up he would appreciate the value of things and not their prices.
