"Smile and the world smiles with you... cry and you cry alone."

So true isn't it? And isn't it also true that it only take 17 muscles in order to smile but 43 to frown. So, might as well SMILE. It's good for the heart too.

And here we are with our biggest smiles ever! This our high School Class batch in Saint Alphonsus Catholic School (S.A.C.S.) during our Funwalk Day last August 5, 2006; when we had our traditional SACS DAY affair which is celebrated every August of every year.

"...Dawata ning akong gugma
nga maoy tima-an
sa akong pagmahal
pag-amping ug pag-yukbo
sa imong kadungganan
Aron matu-od nga ikaw
gipakatawo ni Bathala.

Ning silong sa langit,
Aron sa pagdim-dim
Sa nagkalain-lain bulak
Nga nagsawilik
Sa mainit nga luha
Initos sa mapangis
Nga kagul-ananan.

Babaye, gihigugma ko ikaw
nianang gugma nga matapos lamang
kon kita matimpasaw sa ngilit sa kamatayon.

Wala ako mahadlok nga ton-an mo ako
Kon unsaon ko ikaw sa paghigugma
nga kanang imong kabu-otan
nga labaw sa imong ka-anyag
Nga maoy nagtudlo kanako niining tanan."

What is it?

... when i get to do crazy things

... when i tend to befall under your spell

... when i continue to love you though it hurts

... when i cry today but it doesn't matter the next day

... when i smile seeing your face

... when i hate you so much but wants more of you!

... when i care for you, endlessly

... when i miss you every moment

... when hearing your voice feels like heaven!

... when everything about you simply mesmerizes the inner me

How'd you call that?

2 comments Posted by Ms.B at 6:53:00 PM



Barangay Langub, Argao
South of Cebu province, Philippines

Area: 1,296 square meters

Boundaries: Bounded by Sibonga municipality on the east, Barangay Capio-an on the west, Barangay Sumaguan on the south, Barangay Gutlang on the north.

Site Description:
The place is called “Langub” which means “cave”, but it isn’t conforming to its name because of the fact that there wasn’t any cave at all anywhere in the vicinity, except for a very deep depression down the vlowest point of the area which is quite unreachable. According to the local community, the place was called such because of the sloping contour of the entire area almost forming like a cup.

Several landscape formations can be seen as one goes up on higher grounds. Also, a few of nature’s wonders are scattered around the area like natural cold springs which flows down smoothly one after the other beside the road. A calm river, Langub River, softly runs across all the way through, almost cutting Langub into half.

Few springs also sprouted along the Barangay road side, and across the provincial route going north, making it one of the most abundant water resource in early times.
Natural Heritage:
1. Oldest tree----Century-old Mango tree- located approximately 200 mts from the Barangay Hall.
2. Oldest person--- Mr. Cosme Ybañez- 90 yrs old-

Wedding tradition-- "Butang-butang"- a family (say family#1) would give something (cow or rice, etc)to another family (#2), then when somebody weds from the giver family (#1), automatically that receiver family (#2) would in turn give the same type of gift which they received before (cow or rice, etc) as a sign of brotherhood and kinship.
