Kagay-an Festival 2011

Kagay-an Festival '11 held last August 27, 2011. It was a wonderful event, different schools and establishments participated during that event. There were a number of floats competing for the most colorful and creative. There were also parade participated from different schools in the city.

I enjoyed the event so much, because I was able to see the the parade, thinking that I couldn't make it. But then, I'm happy to see Michael Tan in person with the winners of Ms. Kagay-an. During that day, I was able also to go to carnival and have some ride. I experienced riding the sea dragon, which is so scary to ride at. Yet I find myself enjoying. I must say that this is the happiest and enjoyable fiesta I've ever experienced.

Later this morning, there was an event held at Pelaez Sports Complex. A Folkloric Dance Competition, competitors came from different places to represent their hometown. This event was in relation to Cagayan de Oro's Fiesta.

My Experiences During Mid-term Week

During mid-term week, I was not feeling good. My body's condition was not in good terms. I experienced "pagkahilo" and having hot body temperature during the first day of the examination week. But I can still managed to study and answer my exams. When I reached home, I went directly to my bed and laid down.

By the time when my mother put the thermometer to me, she was surprised that my body temperature reached almost 40 degrees. Fortunately, I don't have any scheduled examinations on the next day; Tuesday. But I was not able to take my exams by Wednesday because I cannot managed to stand and walk, due to headache with "pagkahilo".

I felt better by Friday. Surprisingly, my classmates noticed that I have rashes over my face and body, so we went directly to the clinic, the doctor said that it was measles. By Saturday, I went to the health center to have my CBC and platelet count. Fortunately, the result was good. In God's help, the measles occured less than 1 week. All in all, I was sick for almost 2 weeks. But I decided to go to school for me not to be left behind with my lessons.

This is my niece, Kristine Faith. She was the first ever grandaughter of my parents. She recently celebrated her 1st birthday last August 14, 2011. She was the daughter of my elder brother Erwin Khen. About this picture, I can't imagine that she can pose and smiled like this. She was so charming and cute.
