Posted on October 25, 2007 - Filed Under Philippines | 3 Comments
Iligan City have been dubbed as the City of Majestic Waterfalls and the Industrial City of the South (I don’t know if the second one still applies since many of the factories were closed down). I love the place very much and I’m proud to still call Iligan/Lanao del Norte as home.

Two other practical uses of a keyboard as discovered by Shaynna when she was 8 months old:
#1: As crying-stopper/toy:
#2: If turned over, could be a good foot/leg support:
But then, this busted keyboard immediately became obsolete when she noticed it was not connected to something and that nothing happens when she pressed the keys. Yup, […]
