A Lost Love

Photo from Web

Still crying over you
Thought I had recovered from the blue
But still there's no "next please"
Leaving my heart still not at ease

Night after night, still you're in my mind
Wondering if I'm still the girl who makes you blind
Oh, why is fate so unfair
Letting me lose someone to share

Quite sometime that I haven't smiled at all
How cruel of you to have me fall
That in the end you'll just leave me hangin'
Losing you just makes me sighin'

A lost love that's what you are
Longing for you is definitely at par
But then again, I never have a choice
In this bittersweet love story, I never have the voice

Now I am jaded and overly engrossed!  I am confused with all the plentiest of things that I'm doing that I end up mixing 'em! Imagine that I'm teaching Ella the periodic table?!!!  I am now exhausted and ask myself why am I doing such conflicts of things!  
But then again, another someone told me to "relax and smile".  And here I go smiling by myself again!:)

Ozamiz City Fiesta 2012

July 16, 2012 marks the 64th City Charter Day of Ozamiz which is at the same time, the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  Contrary to common knowledge, pilgrims visit Cotta to pay homage to Nuestra Senora dela Concepcion del Triunfo who is the patron saint of Ozamiz rather than visiting the shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel at Carmelites Monastery, Malaubang.

Anyway, one of the highlights of the fiesta celebration is the Miss Ozamiz Tourism which was held last July 14, 2012 at the Medina Gymnaturium.  It had become a tradition of Fascino to give a special award.  And for the first time, the Miss Fascino for this year bagged the title of Miss Ozamiz 2012 who was the darling of the crowd, Miss Anjanette Amante

After giving the award, me and my friends were starving!  We went to Gat's Bar to grab a bite but they don't serve food during the wee hours of the morning anymore.  We went to Across and they do the same thing.  (Oh, the not-so-happy hours of Ozamiz night life!)  So, we just ended up with our all-time favorite fastfood, Jollibee!


4:00 AM Early Breakfast at Jollibee


Three hours of sleep just past when we awoke with the beat of the drums for the Subayen Keg Subanon Festival!  Subanen are the natives of the Misamis land.  Until now, this tribal group joins the street-dancing around the city, showcasing their colorful costumes and indigenous dance moves!
Fiesta and Friends!:)

On the actual feast day, the city parade was held in which Misamis Union High School took a big part of with their magnificent dragon and lion dance!  Apart from that, the pure Chinese Laoshi also graced the parade by marching under the heat of the sun with us!

This fiesta had been the most much-participated one for me!  With the activities that I had involved myself in, I'm looking forward for the next fiesta celebration in the city.  See you around for more Ozamiz festivities!:)

It's More Fun to Hike!

Photo credits to Yieldeza Ebale
The sporty Red Roses supported the Keep on Running Keep 'em Smiling Fun Run organized by the Philippine Dental Association spearheaded by the Ozamiz City chapter president, Dr. Jun Anteola last July 8, 2012.  With the goal to give free surgery to the less fortunate kids with cleft lip and cleft palate in Ozamiz, the fun run started and ended at the City Hall ground with three designated tracks for the 3K, 5K, and 10K categories.

Photos grabbed from Donalducks Blando
Together with the local government, various businesses, offices, and local organizations took part in the said fund-raising.  But nothing beats joining an activity for a cause if you're joyfully doing it with friends.  That through thick and thin during the journey, nobody's left behind.  So as a group, the Red Roses just turned it into a fun hike!   


The Red Roses may had finished last but what matters most is the bonding we had all the way! 


It was also great to see old friends!  A citywide event is just a way too better opportunity to catch up a bit than just getting updates through Facebook.

With the ladies in red, the Fun Run had painted the town red.  For who else could have turned it into a fun hike but only the beautiful Red Roses who keep on smiling no matter how exhausted they had become during the activity!
