August 4th, 2018 - My Special Day


"City Tour"

On Saturday, August 4th, 2018 we had tour to Surigao city.
First, we went to Mosque in Surigao. By going there, we knew how a Muslim lives in Surigao. We also got information that Eid al-Adha will be on August 21st, 2018. It was different one from Indonesia.


After that, we went to Luneta park.  We found the statue of the one of heroes of Surigao city  namely Dr. Rizal.

Then, we went to the market there, and see another icon, which is located on the beach. There is the writing “I Love Surigao”.
Of course, by having this trip I could know more about the Philippines, especially about the lives of the people here.
“My Special Day”
Today was my special day in Surigao. Exactly on August 4, 2018 I was on my birthday. For the first time in my life, I celebrated in in another country. With new families, from Sabang to Merauke, we gather together with different characters.
My friends here were super good. They gave me surprised on my birthday.  I was so blessed meeting people like them. They were my second family.
I was so thankful for Allah, always give me the chance like this so far. Given the opportunity to meet people who are extraordinarily good, not arrogant, funny, make us forget that we are in the foreign country, far away from family.
Thankyou SEA MEO, which has given me the opportunity to enjoy a new experience, at a new age. 20 years that really impressed me 😊


Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.
