A quick Update

Salam.

This is just a quick update of WHERE I HAVE BEEN for the past few days and WHAT I WAS DOING.

Last week, I requested a one-week Leave of Absence from my office to process my school papers (specifically my Diploma and TOR), in preparation for my applications in Med.School next June. By Thursday I went to MSU (my oh-so-dear alma mater) in Marawi City. And then, the supposedly my five-day stay in Marawi end up being extended, day by day.

Well, as to WHAT took me so long, only those who have experienced the MSU LIFE would be able to understand it well *nodding*. I would only say these words for those who don't know: 
"When you plan on getting a job done in MSU by Monday, expect that you will finish it on Tuesday. The next week."

A lot of things did happened in my short visit in Marawi. I went to the Biology department, Com.Cent., Grandstand, Golf Course and other places MSU is known for. Met old friends and classmates who are now either in Masteral Courses, teaching and others in already in Med.School. (I, with a few number of persons I know,  was left behind). I even had the feeling that I never left MSU Marawi. It was just like before, not much had changed.

So far here are the best COMMENTS I had from my friends and colleagues:

"Mad! Pumuti ka!" Hajera Cariga, a very good friend from the Biology department was so shocked. And I was more shocked than her. Hey! Pumuti ba talaga ako? Ayoko maniwala.

"Kuya Mad, Nakakmiss ka rin pala!" -Revidall, after seeing me bigla sa may com.cent.

"Kuya, anung year kana?" -UVPN applicant; Graduate na po ako :-D

"Magkanta ka mun ang MSU Hymn" si Manong taga CNSM Deans Office. Tatang naman, naka-Grad na ako, bat pa ako kakanta para lang ma-approve yung papers ko. huhuhu. (At ako ay kumanta kasabay ang mga Freshmen.)

I'll tell more stories later on.
medyo pagod pa rin sa biahe.

I already Miss the COOL weather sa MSU.

Salam Kasilasa!

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...
