Panibagong Adjustment

-
 Change is constant, so they say.  A new Assistant Regional Director has come our way after that Ma'am Fhat has become full-fledged, it is but natural and common in the organization that they get transferred to different regions.  And for me, that is a sign of a new adjustment.  I don't know him personally but people say he was mabait. He is. Silent but cheerful.  I do not know what to do of his character, I cannot read him yet, but I hope he will carry us through a different kind of management, one with integrity and honesty and one that serves the people more than that who serves the politician.  It's quite a busy state here in the office, and I am going nuts about things, but I pray that things will be better soon, and that my health does not fail me. So help me God.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s...
