Last Sunday, we had a great adventure in Mantinanak, SugbongCogon. It was my first time to be there and I am excited to finally meet the Siberian tigers! Yes they are pretty huge and so cute. They look so cute but they're dangerous.  look at them, aren't they cute? The other one was sleeping. The weather is just too hot that  day. This tiger is the biggest of them. Scary but cute.

They also have this cute pony.

Well, it’s not that bad to be alone sometimes.  Alone but not lonely or sad.  I decided to attend church on the evening instead in the morning. I usually woke up late in a Sunday morning. Good thing, my mama and my little brother went early for mass. They have a blessed palm branch when they got home. One reason why I decided to attend mass late is that I want to watch the movie Facing the Giants in the afternoon. It was a recommended movie and it has a good rating in IMDB. Facing the Giants is truly an inspiring movie. The situation in the movie was realistic; you can have the same problem like Coach Grant has. You are bombarded with a lot of problems in life that makes you want to give up.  He was having a bad year being a coach in the football team and the school board members want him out, worst thing is he discovered that he was sterile; he is drivin
