My Uptown Malling Experience at SM City Cagayan de Oro
SM City Cagayan de Oro is one of the major shopping center in the City. It is located in the upper Carmen area within the Pueblo de Oro town ship. The SM City Mall in Cagayan de Oro is situated over a mountain top which is becoming a little town in itself with the many residences within several subdivisions in the vicinity.
SM City Cagayan de Oro is now dubbed as an uptown mall in the city as I mention awhile ago it is situated on a mountain top. Whenever I go shopping I specially prefer going to SM City since it’s not very crowded especially during weekdays unlike the other malls in downtown area which is very crowded with different kinds of people. The parking place is also good with its multi-story parking building, it is very comfortable specially when it is raining and unlike in the other malls you have to run in the open parking lot to get in the car, and during hot days where the sun can heat-up the interior of the car uncomfortably after going around the mall its very uneasy if it’s not a covered parking which is also very advantageous if you go to SM City since there parking building is very cool and inside the building.
One thing I also like going to SM City is because it’s not a flood prone area and you will not be worried when there is a heavy down pour where it can get you stuck inside the mall for long hours with nothing to do since you cannot go to your car with the flooded parking lot which I already experience in the downtown area mall.
Right now I’m blogging inside the SM City mall with the launching of their newly setup free Wi-Fi Internet access all over the mall and it’s quite fast and I hope these will be maintain and continued to be free. I now have more reasons to standby inside the SM City mall with its several good coffee shops along the hall way.

A new theme for Abonitalla blog site
Abonitalla.com domain was registered with the intent of using it as my unique email address and for my family and relatives who may be interested in having a unique email address for themselves. As time goes by I decided to make use of the idle http part as a blog site but without any theme in mind.
Starting now the new theme of this blog will be Cagayan de Oro city society and its heritage. I will post here different stories about people in Cagayan de Oro as well as its heritage. I welcome any contributors who may want to write in this blog about the new theme. I will also be inviting some of my relatives who might be interested to write something here.

McArthur Marker groundbreaking
City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula (far left) leads city officials in laying down the time capsule, highlighting the groundbreaking rites of the McArthur Marker at the old pier in Barangay Macabalan, Cagayan de Oro City, Feb. 1. Assisting the mayor are 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, City Councilors Dante Pajo, Roger Abaday, and Alfonso Goking, Macabalan Chairperson Gertrudes Beja, and Historical Commission member Nanette Roa. Once completed, the marker would serve as a reminder that Gen. Douglas McArthur once passed by Cagayan de Oro enroute to Australia from Corregidor when Japanese imperial forces invaded the Philippines during the Second World War.
