Medina, Misamis Oriental is situated on the northern part of Mindanao Philippines. It is blessed with resources from its Sea and Mountain Areas.
On 15th of May, Medina celebrates its Patron San Isidro Labrador.
St. Isidore is a farmer from Spain who was known to be the priest who loves farm animals and was able to do miracles by multiplying food to feed starving birds. source: Savior.org
Planning to Visit?
Medina is very known for its beaches and warm welcomes. Its marvelous share of marine and aquatic wonders are its masterpieces.
It is about 1-2 hour bus ride from the city of Butuan or 2-3 hours bus ride from the city of Cagayan de Oro.
And there are great places you can stay at.
A perfect and nice place to be with the beach and marine life.

A trip to the zoo is not that bad at all because I like it the least. But with friends, it is an interesting visit.
One day, we did hit the road and drove to Al Ain! Where the Zootopia of UAE is. A very nice place for family and friends alike.
Please enjoy the video.

In today's age, we like to be immersed in whatever digital content we see in the internet.
In my case, I like to log myself in to Second Life.
Second Life is a product of Linden Labs, which allows users to create their personas or avatars and interact with each other in a virtual world. The good thing about this is that you can also create whatever things you like and maybe share or sell it to other avatars.
The virtual world is so massive that other people are making income out of it. Of course if you want to experience the best 3D add-ons you also need to spend a dime.
It is like having an alter ego online, you like to do some crazy things which you can't do in real life. Or just plain playing.
Party is always around and in every genre. Some in the beach, others in the sky boxes.
I had fun doing a tour in whatever place I can think of. Such as the world of Pandora from the movie 'Avatar' by James Cameron. It was funny observing that within an avatar is another avatar trying to do a roleplay. Most of the time, I just troll around and ask random questions.
In my 6 years of avatar existence, I have enjoyed the idea that a lot can be done in a virtual world.

So me and my friends decided to spend our day-off at the Global Village here in Dubai. From our place, it is kind of far and public transportation is somewhat limited.

| Global Village Entranced with a very nice Cultural Structure, Entrance fee at 15AED |
It was during the afternoon when we got there. There were very nice small copies of famous landmark from almost all over the world.

| The famous big ben alongside Rome's the Colosseum |
 |
| The Statue of Liberty on top of a Cafe |
Each country has their own pavilion, and the entrance are made in accordance to their country's architectural origins. Inside are small shops selling different delicacy, garments, and souvenirs that most originated from whatever country pavilion they're in.

There are also other attractions such as different rides for kids and adults. A beautiful way to see the whole Global Village is riding the big ferris wheel. Some are very scary but looks interesting at the same time, such as the bungee sling (not its official name).
Food is not a problem since around the place you'll find different kinds of it. From popcorn to kebabs, you'll find plenty to choose from.
This reminds me of Kasadya sa SRP back in the Philippines.

What a great way to start the new year with Dubai Shopping Festival 2016. May it be in Electronics, Fashion, or Jewelry, people are going to be hyped with dropping prices and exciting offers.
During my two weeks experience as a salesperson in mobile phones, people are crowding in to check on their particulars and see whether it has gone down or has better offerings from other shop then they make a purchase. It is usually jam packed on weekends and lesser on weekdays, also considering that everyday is not payday. But still, the amount of business generated through this festival helps inclination in sales.
Compared to the country I'm from, this festival is really giving off good discounts and offerings. Because, back there, I don't really see price drop and good offers, only old stocks and some non-moving products.
DSF will end on 1st of February. At the time of writing, we still have 2 more weeks to indulge the wonders of shopping.

Cebu is one of those cities that I have fell in love with. It is fresh, fashionable, and simply the kind of hustle and bustle that gives you peace at the same time.
One of the city's highlights is its annual festivity to honor Sr. Sto. Niño. People will crowd the Basilica Minor of Sto. Niño in Cebu City, Philippines. They pray and give thanks to child Jesus.
Different activities are held on this occasion. This includes Miss Cebu, which is one of the prestigious beauty pageant in the country. The firework contest and exhibitions from SM and Ayala malls gives night-walkers' their fill.
But one grand occasion defines it all, the Sinulog festival-- the Grand Parade.
Streets will start to get busy, major roads connecting to Fuente all through-out the Basilica will be closed and people will start to fill it to witness the floats and dancing.
Contingents from different part of the country participate in this street dancing competition organized by the city. It was an amazing experience seeing colorful costumes and props turned into art by traditional dances.
People at night becomes more saturated in General Maxilom area where clubs and street parties are raving. This includes a lot of alcohol and casualties. So a tip, be a responsible person and stay away from things that can ruin your experience.
Schedule of activities are usually ready for people to view two months prior of the said month event. Before I usually take the time to reblog the schedule from the committee's website and facebook page.
Now, I'm physically far from my home country. Hoping to get a lot of pictures on facebook to get envy with.
What's your plan for this coming Sinulog 2016?

As a first timer for this occasion, I find it very exciting and interesting on how this country is so proud of their achievements. I have so much admiration to how they have unified and created a very solid ground for growth and prosper for their people and for me as an expat.

Here are some of my shots on my latest on the road exploration of United Arab Emirates. In this post, meet some desert and rocky mountain formations. Please enjoy the view.
And since it is more of a road trip, most of my pictures are taken from view inside the car.
