Mindanao Bloggers Summit 5: a failed attempt.

Bismillah.

Today marks the Fifth Mindanao Bloggers' Summit 2011 (MBS 5) spearheaded by Iligan Bloggers' Society (IBS) in Iligan City. I have planned to attend since the first day I heard about it; I saved some money for my transpo; planned the things to do before going to Iligan. I was supposed to attend the great event today, but time and a lot of circumstances that occurred along the way, made it all a failed attempt.

Yes, I was sad. I was sad, because I really really wanted to attend and hear the their good speakers (the summit would focus on how to uphold Environmental Advocacy through blogging and a lot more discussions on how to Earn while blogging). I was sad, because it could have been another chance for me to meet a lot new faces, fellow bloggers around Mindanao. I was sad, because it could have been another avenue for me to improve myself in this world of Blogosphere. But again, things do not always go the way we want it to be. Maybe it's for my own good anyway. There's a lot of next times, anyway.

Allah has a lot more plans for me (and every one of us here). So, things like this should not let your spirits down! Yeay!!!! 

I would also like to thank my friend (in the world of blogging) Ayah, for all the kindness she shared. Magsukul indah Kai (ayah), misan aku yna nakatuy matun pa Iligan hehehe. Ayah is one hell of a blogger. She's a memeber (an an officer) of IBS and a 'Kabs' of mine (She's also a Tausug). You can always follow her stories in Hijabified and LilPink

Oh, well. Might as well plan the day ahead next time.

Salam Kasilasa

PS. (is this a letter?)

> NMAT exams for this year would be on DEC 4! (after it was moved) visit the CEM-INC website to learn more why. NMAT takers... Good luck! (Hmm I am thinking about posting some tips here. But I am not so sure because the result of exam is still... Am not sure if its real, really.

> I am still promoting my Travel Blog: "Ang Paglalakbay ng Lakwatserong Isda" in All Things Mindanao Web.

Sulu Hidden History: the Spanish-built Walled City

Image
By Ahmad Musahari Free lance Writer anakiluhmd@gmail.com What is the use of knowing the history of other countries if you don't know your own country's? This is my sole impetus of studying little by little the almost-forgotten history of one of the magnificent Sultanate of all seas: the Sulu Sultanate, my homeland of course! But even though my few researches have only reached few results as well, I am still nevertheless excited to share what I have discovered; small pieces of puzzles are parts of a big picture. This blog is about one of my great adventures in finding the remaining historical landmarks in Sulu (even us Tausugs never knew it was there!) Join me, lets explore once more and find out where the smallest WALLED CITY is! (PS: as you can remember, I have blogged about the "Moro Consciousness week" wherein I promised to fill in the entry about the 'walled City' in Sulu. And here it is: a promise is still a promise ;-) link ==================...

The May 1 Tuli Mission

Image
Joining Muslim Doctors (MD) for a Tuli Mission Alhamdulillah, a few days ago, a good friend of mine told me that the young medical students from Ateneo de Zamboanga University School of Medicine (ADZU-SOM) were here in Manila for a surgical mission. Their group was known as the Muslim Doctors (or M.D.). I went to visit them that day and to my delight, they invited us to join their event last May 1, 2016 at Mahabba Islamic Center in San Andres Bukid, Malate, Manila. I immediately informed the members of UP-Association of Muslim Students (UP-AMS) and Alhamdulillah, 5 of them volunteered to join me. I learned later on that another friend and fellow medical student from another school will also join. First meeting with the MD team I was on ER Duty the night before, and honestly I did not get much sleep before the event. But Alhamdulillah, I was not feeling that sleepy maybe because of the excitement! I met with my members right after my duty and went to the venue where w...
