Typhoon Pablo strikes CDO

          December 3, 2012 Typhoon Pablo was expected to arrive at Cagayan de Oro City and do some damage in the city. PAG-ASA said that Pablo is stronger than Sendong, who have really made a mark in the hearts of the Kagayanons because of what it did in the city of cagayan de oro. When Pablo was about to landfall in CDO, people were already prepared for it. People evacuated to higher lands and some went to evacuation centers while others stayed in the hotels. It started raining at 2:00am of December 3; almost all people listen to the news about Pablo to keep them updated. Soon as Pablo landfall in Cagayan de Oro, there were no casualties happen. Cagayan de Oro officials reported that there is 0 casualties in the city. This simply means that people already learn from their mistakes from sendong, because when sendong hits CDO, all people were not alarm of its arrival and some people ignore the tropical storm. Pablo also left a mark in CDO; houses were flooded, many trees fell because of its strong wind, many people lost their livestock livelihood. But we are still thankful that no one died in this typhoon, by simple praying and having faith in God. He save us from the harm that Pablo was bringing.

Xavier Days 2012

XU Days is one big event in XU that is so fun to watch because of the events that they have. XU days 2012 for me is so disappointing because my expectation for the event is so high because hopefully this will be my last year in XU. I was hoping that it will be really a fun exciting XU days for me. First problem was, we were suppose to open our business Master Soya in the tent which is located in the Soccer Field, but when we transferred our stall the tent that was rented for us was not big enough to accommodate all of us.  Second, I think this year’s XU days have fewer events compared to the other XU days. For 2 nights all I have been seeing was people watched movies in the field. But I was really impressed in the closing night of XU days. The field was mob by so many people and the dance contest brought a lot of attention to the people. What was really exciting was the countdown for the fireworks, when it came down to the last 10 seconds people were now filming and waiting for the fireworks to start, which lasted for about 10-15 minutes. I must that this XU Days was not really that Bad. Cheers XU !
