" I'm a reasonably honest 20-something who has seen a great deal of pleasure and suffering in my life. I was once a very extroverted person but my experiences on a previous life largely destroyed that. That's all past now,
and though I am filled with a great deal of sadness from these experiences, I feel it's time to reassert myself and start drawing people unto myself again. My blog is the beginning..."

Advance Leadership Course

2010-11-22T16:25:00.000-08:00

After I joined Foundation for Leadership Excellence I have realized everything about myself that made me decide to feel that I was renewed. I was wondering, what is this ALC? I was thinking, if FLEX helped me a lot with regards to my self awareness, what more with ALC? Last November 18-21, 2010 I joined the AlC seminar, I found out that this seminar is about the beginning of taking off the sunglasses we learned about our personal mastery. This taught me to discover that specific glasses and how to removed them. And when I have removed the sunglasses that have affected into my entire life, It approached my business and my life into an entirely new way. The three days of experiences and exercises had helped me a lot to overcome my belief systems that have prevented forward movement in my business. I also had the opportunity to address my experiences and circumstances that developed destructive belief systems. I had discovered those sunglasses I never knew I had and liberated from them.
That seminar was such a BREAKTHROUGH. I had experienced a lot from this seminar such as:

Freedom myself-imposed limitations.
Completion on my past experiences that have been holding me back.
How to recognize my “competing commitment” that is sabotaging my success.

Learning fundamental qualities of leadership and teambuilding, my experiences around leadership and teamwork in this training had tremendously influence how I lead and grow my downline. I had the opportunities to step into my natural leadership like never before.
When Icompleted the the seminar, I had no doubts about my abilities as a leader. I had the opportunity to experience the power of committed teamwork. I saw what can be created when people are willing to work as a team. In this training, I learned:

Qualities that influence leadership.
How to be a team leader and a team player.
Powerful skills for communication.
The power of keeping an agreement.
How to remain grounded in the face of conflict, stress, or difficult circumstances.

Generally, this course had showed me the forward movement of my career as a Real Estate Marketing Executive. It helped me breakthrough the beliefs systems so I can be a more effective business builder. I realized that if I would like to be active in my business, but feel paralyzed, Imight have a competing commitment that is more powerful than I know. That ALC enhanced my skills for leadership to meet my goal.

Just wait for the results……. I’ll tell you!

Hit and Run

2010-05-28T18:46:00.000-07:00

I witnessed a "Hit and run" accident last night along Magsaysay Road, Baguio City At the front of the entrance of Camdas Street.

There were this young man with his back-ride whose traveling along Magsaysay road when suddenly hit by a passenger jeep with a plate no. AYK 904. The passenger jeep never stopped after that accident. With my concern, As i watched the incident, i told to the two victims to go to the nearest police station to report the crime and go to the nearest hospital for "Medico-Legal".

With regards to this incident, I searched for the information about "hit and run" and here's what i found out:

Hit and run (vehicular)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hit-and-run is the crime of colliding with a person, their personal property (including their motor vehicle), or a fixture, and failing to stop and identify oneself afterwards.

Additional obligation

In many jurisdictions there may be an additional obligation to exchange information about one's financial responsibility (including any applicable insurance) or to summon emergency services if they are needed. There may also be requirement to leave a note containing pertinent information if the property owner is not present.

Hit-and-run laws arose from the difficulties that early car accident victims faced in identifying perpetrators so that they could be brought to justice. Apart from the obvious ability of an automobile to flee the scene quickly (if still driveable), drivers often wore driving goggles, vehicles at the time did not have license plates, and roads were unpaved and thus quite dusty.

Legal consequences

Hit-and-run has severe legal consequences including the suspension or cancellation of one's driver's license, as well as imprisonment. Lifetime revocation of a driver license is possible in certain jurisdictions. Attempts to understand the mental state of the hit and run driver began soon after the offense became codified and more recently has been explored in an article titled "The Psychology of Hit and Run" (2008).

Hit-and-run drivers were more likely to be driving vans than cars; to be young males; and were far more likely to fail a breathalyzer test than other drivers, if apprehended.

To the driver of the jeep with plate no. AYK904 please coordinate to the police for you to be able to settle your obligation and face the consequences. You may talk to the victims for the settlement if possible. Remember that what you have done was definitely a crime.

PARA SA MGA “TOMADOR” AT MAY MGA “GALAS”:

2010-05-16T00:02:00.000-07:00

Kayo ba ay nag-aamok kapag nalalasing? Maraming nararamdamang paghihiganti, problema o kaya naman ay gustong ipaalam sa lahat na kayo ay matapang o di kaya’y “siga”. Pwes ikaw nga ang tinutukoy ko na may “galas”- isang salita na nag-uugnay sa mga taong aking tinukoy.

Maging sa pag-iinom ng alak ay kailangan ding maging responsible ang bawat isa. Habang nasa tamang katinuan pa ang inyong pag-iisip ay kailangang ihanda nyo na ang inyong mga sarili sa maaring pagkawala ng inyong tamang pagkilos, tamang pag-iisip at tamang pananalita. Bagaman ito ay normal sa pag-iinom ng alak ay kailangan din nating masubaybayan din natin ang ating mga sarili.

Kung inyong maalala sa mga balita sa radio, TV o di kaya’y sa mga pahayagan, ang karaniwang rason ng mga krimen o di kaya’y disgrasya na nagreresulta ng pagkawala ng buhay o kaya’y pagkasira ng sarili o sa iba ay ang pag-inom ng alak. Naalala ko ang mga katagang “Lasing ako ng mangyari ang krimen”. Ano man ang sabihin nyo sa mga ganitong klase ng mga bagay ay hindi pa rin tinatanggap ng lipunan ang ganitong klase ng kasagutan. Maging sa batas o sa hukuman ay hindi pinapayagan ang ganyang klaseng rason maging sibil man yan o krimen. Isang napakalaking pagkakamali ang minsan aking naulinigan na pagkawala ng kanilang mga ari-arian dahil sa isang kasulatan na kanyang pinirmahan ng sya ay lasing. Tsk…tsk…tsk

Masakit man tanggapin ang katotohanan na may ganito kalaking epekto ang pag-inom ay kailangan nating tanggapin. Subalit, hindi naman lahat pangit ang resulta ng pag-inom ng alak. Meron din namang: Nagpapaganda ng samahan ng pagkakaibigan at pag-iibigan, ito rin ay ginagamit upang maging uportinidad sa trabaho, relasyon at sa pamilya. Dito rin kadalasan ang pagbibigay at pagpapalitan ng mga payo. Yan ay kung RESPONSIBLE KANG MANGINGINOM.

Sa kabuuan, may maganda at may di-magandang epekto ang alak sa ating katauhan. Isang uri ng pakikipag-kapwa upang magkakilanlan o magpalipas ng oras o di kaya nama’y upang mapag-usapan ang mga bagay-bagay. Umu-ugnay din ito sa isang selebrasyon o di kaya’y pagbubunyi ng isang matagumpay na bagay o pangyayari.

Para sa aking rekomendasyon. Maging responsible tayong manginginom, Kalimutan ang mga masasalimoot na pangyayari, paghihigante at ang pag-iisip na manakit. Alalahanin natin ang ating mga mahal sa buhay sa mga pagkakataong may hindi tayo magandang mga desisyon laban sa ating sarili o sa kapwa. Huwag nating pilitin ang ating mga sarili kung talagang di natin kayang uminom at yan naman ang tinatawag na “May Ayawan” o di kaya naman matuto rin tayong magsalita ng “Pass” kung talagang ayaw natin o wala tayo sa kundisyong uminom. Matuto rin tayong rumespeto sa mga taong ayaw uminom o di umiinom.

Sa mga kapwa ko manginginom, hehehe… Tagay!

ISANG PAGBATI SA MGA NAHALAL

2010-05-15T00:12:00.000-07:00

Malugod ko pong binabati ang mga lider na nahalal at pinili ng taong bayan dito sa ating bansa - Pilipinas.

“Great power comes great responsibilities”. Yan po ang mga linyag madalas nating marinig at hindi natin ma-ikakailang may katotohonan. Para sa akin hindi lang power at responsibilities ang great di kundi maging ang taong may hawak nito. Masasabi ko rin na hindi lang lider ang may great power at may great responsibilities kundi pati na rin ang taong bayan na kailangan ng mga lider na pamunuan ditto sa ating bansa.

Lahat po tayo ay responsable sa ika-uunlad at ika-babagsak ng ating bansa. Umpisahan po natin yan sa ating mga sarili. Igalang po natin at ibigay ang nararapat para sa mga nakaupong lider bilang kapalit ng kanilang serbisyo alang-alang sa ating bayan. Bawasan po natin ang mga kwestyong walang kabuluhan kundi pambabatikos na syang nagpapahina ng katatagan n gating bayan. Sa mga lider naman po, kailangan pong intindihin natin ang ating posisyong manungkulan at hindi mangurakot. Masakit man po sa pandinig ngunit ito ang salitang praktikal. Ang pansariling interest ay hindi po “advisable” sa paggawa ng mga desisyon lalo na kung ito ay para sa bayan. Huwag po natin masyadong bilangin ang mga hindi magagandang pangyayari dahil sigurado ako na mas marami ang magaganda.

Anyway, Congratulations po sa lahat! Tayong lahat po ang panalo na syang benefeciary sa naganap na halalan. Masaya po ako na hindi naganap ang malawakang failure of election. Magtulungan po tayo at suportahan ang mga magagandang proyekto. Asahan nyo po ang aking kooperasyon!

ANG BUHAY DAW AY ISANG LARO…

2010-05-14T00:19:00.000-07:00

Sinasabi nga na ang buhay daw ay isang laro isang laro na may, saya, lungkot at punong-puno ng surpresa na tunay ngang pakakaabangan. Kabilang na nga rito ang tinatawag na gulong ng palad na kung minsan ay nasa ibabaw at kung misan ay nasa ilalim. Punong-puno ng hamon at kasiyahan kapiling n gating mga kalaro sa buhay. Walang iba kundi ang ating kapwa, pamilya at mga kaibigan.

Sa aking pananaw ito ay may katotohanan na dapat nating i-“enjoy” at ipag-sapalaran. Naniniwala ako na sa larong ito ay may mga lihim na dapat nating isaliksik at isabuhay. Isa na rito ay kasama sa aking mga prinsipyo na ang lahat ng bagay ay may katapat mabuti amn ito o masama at lahat ng ito ay may “interest” na tinatawag sampu o isangdaang porsyento depende sa ginawa mo. “Consequences” at “rewards” ika nga.

Maaring di mo matatanggap sa ngayon ang iyong “rewards at consequences” e asahan mong ito ay makukuha mo sa takdang panahon. Sa isang laro ay merong tinatawag na dayaan at totoong ang buhay ay madaya. Ngunit sino nga ba ang tunay na mandaraya sa isang laro hindi ba’t ang manlalaro? Ang buhay ay nagiging madaya kung tayo mismo ang gagawa nito.

Sinasabi nga sa Bibliya na “mag-hanap ka at ikaw ay makatagpo”, “kumatok ka at ikaw ay pag-bubuksan”, “humingi ka at ikaw ay pag-bibigyan”. Isa sa mga matatalinhagang nasusulat na kailangan nating ilaro o isabuhay upang mahanap natin ang tunay na kasagutan.

May mga nag-sasabi rin at naniniwalang lahat tayo bago pa man lang ipanganak ay may nakatakda nang papel sa mundo. May katotohanan man ito o wala ay kailangan pa rin natin mapagdaanan ang mga hamon sa buhay upang makarating tayo sa tinatawag na “nakatakda”. Dahilan dito, mas naniwala ako sa kasabihan na “walang permanente dito sa mundo kundi ang pagbabago”.

Upang maintindihan natin ang tinatawag na laro ay kailangan nating ituring sa sarili natin na tayo ang “bida” rito. Kailangang ipadama natin sa ating mga sarili ang pagiging importante natin ditto sa mundo. At dahil dyan nasisiguro ko na hindi ka mawawalan ng uportunidad lalo na kung ito’y iyong hahanapin at iipunin para sa mga susunod na mga araw. Ang pagiging maaliwalas na kaanyuan ay humihila ng mga positibong bagay at ganun din ang sa kawalan ng gana sa buhay ay humihila naman ng negatibo.

“Extreme feeling or Emotion”, Kaya nga ayaw ko ng mga “sumpa” dahil napakalaki ng posibilidad na ito’y magkatotoo. Sobrang lungkot, sobrang saya, sobrang galit at kung ano-ano pang mga sobra pagdating sa emosyon. Ito ang mga pagkakataon na dapat nating sambitin ang mga kahilingan.

“Generation repeats generation”, ano nga bang kahulugan nito? Di nyo ba napapansin kung gaano ka bagsik ang pagkakataon? Nagyari sa nanay mo nagyayari sayo osa apo mo. Kasalanan ng tatay mo ikaw ang nagbabayad sa parehong Gawain. Syempre hindi ito kasalanan ng pagkakataon. Sabi nga lahat nang nangyayari sa buhay mo ay “choice” mo. Araw-araw ay maraming bagay ang nangyayari sa atin na di dapat natin palampasin na matutunan, maaring sa sarili mo o sa iba. Kailangan nating matutunan ang dahilan at epekto ng bawat pangyayari ng sa ganun ay mapaghandaan natin ang mga bagay na maaring mangyari satin na kapareho din nito.

Maraming nagtatanong, Bakit may mayayaman? Bakit may mahihirap? Bakit may masasama? Bakit may api? Etc… Ang masasabi ko dyan ay ito ang nagpapabalanse sa mundo. Hindi pwedeng lahat mabait, lahat masama, lahat mayaman, lahat mahirap at etc… Depende nalang sa inyo kung anong gusto nyo maging papel depende sa choice nyo.

“Contentment?" Walang buhay na salitang “contentment”, “Fulfillment” meron. Ang buhay ay walang katapusang kaligayahan, walang katapusang pag-aaral at walang katapusang kahilingan habang nabubuhay.

Hay buhay…

Sa kabuuan, Lahat ng bagay na nangyayari satin ay nakadepende sa mga choices natin na pinagtatagpi-tagpi lamang ng pagkakataon upang ito ay mangyari. Lahat ng bagay na ginagawa natin sa mundo ay may katatapat. Maari tayong maging bida, o kontra-bida. Maari din tayong maging kasangkapan o maaari din tayong maging dahilan ng mga bagay na nangyayari sa iba.

Sa aking prinsipyo na gusto kong i-share sa inyo, ang pinakaimportate at pinakamakapangyarihan sa lahat ay salitang “dasal” kasama ng pananalig at nakapaloob dito ang pasasalamat, pagpuri, paghingi at higit sa lahat ang paghingi ng tawad. Isabuhay natin ang tatlong pinakaimportante sa lahat: ang pagmamahal sa kapwa, sa sarili at higit sa lahat sa Diyos.

Grave Abuse of Authority

2010-03-18T21:30:00.000-07:00

There is this fish vendor 49 years old woman ( Lets call her "Dina" *not the real name*) who had experienced a Grave Abuse of Authority from an incumbent Barangay Kagawad:

The Antecedent Facts are as follows:

Dina is been a fish vendor for almost seven years (7) at one City in Nothern luzon here in the Philippines. Moreover she is also a member of the Fish Vendors Association. The member of which have a long standing agreement that each one of the will only maintain one (1) to two (2) "Bilao" in the sale of fish. This Barangay Kagawad is likewise a vendor at the same place where Dina is situated. She is also a member of the fish vendor association and an officer therein being a treasurer of the said association.

For quite sometime, the said Barangay Kagawad has been harrasing and intimidating Dina at her place of work but she tried her best to disregard the same because she want to maintain friendly relations among the other vendors in the market. Moreover, Dina would also like to show respect due to This Barangay Kagawad's position.

However, Barangay Kagawad's abuse of authority reached it's peak due to an unfortunate incident that happened. Dina was so busy but peacefully selling fresh fish during the rush hour in the afternoon when this Barangay Kagawad suddenly came and told her "Bakit Dyan Ka Nakapwesto? Hindi Pwede Yan!" A few minutes after , Barangay Kagawad commanded her helper to remove Dina from her current position and install their "bilao" of Fish. The helper came to her and was forcing her to get out. He did it even if he saw Dina already was being hurted. Thus, against her will, the helper, at the instruction of This Barangay Kagawad put their "Bilao" of fish in the her current position until the fish that they were selling fell on the ground. The helper of Barangay Kagawad got angry, took the fish that Dina was selling, and trew all of it on the street grounds. Hence, Dina raised her voice, "Bakit Pinag-iinitan nyo ako, Ano kasalanan ko? Saan nyo ako ilalagay?" The helper in return shouted at Dina "Putang-Ina Mo!" Dina was shocked and in reflex, she told him also the same word. Then the son of this Barangay Kagawad came, approached Dina..... and Beat! Once, at the forehead.... The Mother did'nt respond.... Twice, at the neck.... The treasurer of fish vendor association did'nt respond again.... and for the last beat, at the head and forcibly pulled Dina... The Barangay Kagawad did'nt respond. In other words the son of Barangay Kagawad Beat Dina trice. After that, Male bystander tried to pacify the son of Barangay Kagawad. He was about to attack Dina again but he was stopped by the bystanders.

During the whole incident, This Barangay Kagawad was present and she was the one who commanded her helper and son to assault Dina. Moreover, she did not do anything to prevent her male helper and son and allowed them to maul Dina contrary to her obligation and duty as a Mother, as an officer of association and most of all a Barangay Kagawad to maintain peace and order in the community.

After that, Dina went to the police station to report the incident. She was forced to leave the fish that she was selling because of the injuries that she sustained. There, She executed a sworn statement and attached the Medico-Legal Certificate showing the wounds that she sustained during the incident.

Subsequently, after four (4) days that Dina got mauled by those people, to her surprised, she received summons from the office of the Lupong Tagapamayapa of the Barangay Council. Based on the Barangay Case: For disrespect to person in authority as filed by the Guilty Barangay Kagawad. Dina was asked to appear before the them on a specific date.

The Barangay Kagawad who figured prominently in the said incident and even never prevented her son and companions from assaulting Dina, clearly made use of her position as a Barangay official to harass Dina by filling a baseless claim against her. To make matters worse, she even filed it before the Barangay where she is a public official. The implication of this is that the Barangay Chairman and Barangay Council where the barangay kagawad filled the Barangay case will be expected to be partial to her cause considering that she is an official of that place.

What happened to the principle of fairness and justice?

Dina filed the case to the City prosecutor but the City Procecutor forwarded the case to the Barangay. The case in the Barangay was (she think) very much improper because when the hearings were done, there were only Brgy. Captain, The accused Kagawad and company, Dina and the secretary. When Dina's companion came to witness for the hearing, the Brgy. Captain forced him to leave and told him that she might record their conversations.

Aside from that, the Kagawad gave her a treat to be removed from fish vendor association and to the market with the help of Brgy.Chairman by means of a petition. That was also the reason why they don't accept the daily dues that Dina is paying.

She went to the DILG (Regional) and asked for a help. They gave Dina advices... They told her to go to DILG (City). Dina went to DILG (City)... They told her to go to City Council.....She went to that place..... They forwarded her to the Sangguniang Panlungsod..... They were supposed to tell Dina that she have to go to Liga ng Mga Barangay then she said Liga Ng Mga Barangay told her to go to their office first. Sangguniang Panlungsod told her to prepare for the verified affidavit of complaint and have a copy of 16 copies..... Dina were very disappointed that time especially when she went to one of the City Councilor wherein this official is the one who holds for the women protection and urban poor sadly this City Councilor were also the one who took the case to depend of the guilty Barangay Kagawad and her guilty son who mauled Dina. Where will Dina get some help from the Government? How Sad....

For the reasons that the Barangay Council were not capable for their positions, They gave Dina the Certificate to File Action improperly. She gave that Certificate to the Piscal's Office then the Piscal told her that those papers were supposed to give back by the Barangay. The Brgy. really didn't want to give that back. She Did those things for 3 times until she decided to get all of the papers and presented to the main window for filed cases in the Hall of Justice then they admitted.

Many days had passed... A letter from the City procecutor delivered to her rented house. A case of Treat and Unjust Vexation from Kagawad against Dina. She Went to the Hall of justice and she found out that the hearing of the case against Dina is sooner than the case she filed against the Kagawad. When she got the information regarding the case she had submitted she also found out that it was already submitted but not yet proccesed...................

Where is justice? Dina is a less fortunate person.

In this situation, I am pretty sure that Dina is not only the one who are experiencing this kind of situation. Isn't it Obviously a crime when a man hit a woman especially it is older than him? How about a Mother that let her son to do something bad to others? A Brgy Official to neglect the responsibility to maintain the peace and order? A Brgy Official who are included in the crime? An official of the Association who do not care about her member? And a person who always wanted to destroy others?

Moreover, Based from what I have learned from DILG, If the complaint is against an elective barangay official criminal aspect may be heard with the regular courts. With the the summon issued by the Lupong Tagapamayapa it was also appears to be improper since the complainant is a public official and the subject of her is Disrespect for authority, clearly not within the authority of the Lupong Tagapamayapa to settle or adjucate.

Evidently, The accused Barangay Kagawad gravely abused her authority in order to harass Dina with the filling of baseless claim. As an author of this article I am Expecting that the Barangay Kagawad should be subjected to a disciplinary action by the Sanguniang Panlungsod for Grave Abused of Authority.

Everybody wants to live... Everybody wants to earn money for their family.... Everybody wants to live fairly...

Every Filipino belongs to this country...

* Dina wants to thank Public Attorneys Office for assisting to her administrative complaint against this Barangay Kagawad.

Wherever You Are

2010-02-25T05:57:00.000-08:00

Wherever You Are…

Are you standing at a crossroads wondering which road you should take?
And you are reading a decisions and a possible mistake
But the will of God won't lead you where the grace of God can keep you
And you will never be out of his care, remember that the Lords already there.

-Being a good person is not that easy to perform without believing

that there is God who will guide me in every decision that I make. Looking to my inner feelings and my thoughts. Thinking positive thoughts, trusting those that offer me friendship, and dismissing both anger and hateful feelings, will result in a change from my within. i have to think good thoughts, thus I will become good. I will do good, thus my entire persona will change. I will trust, instead of distrusting. I will care instead of being uncaring. I will help others in their time of need, instead of sitting back and waiting for someone else to help me. I will be in essence become a good person and God will care for me throughout my life with my good decisions.

Wherever you are, wherever you're going,
God is right there beside you seeing and knowing
Wherever you go, He already knows what lies ahead and what's behind
You'll always find He's never too far from wherever you are.

-In order to apply being a good person in reality, I have to start each day with a plan as my goal.

Thinking of what I would like to see and do. Then thinking of someone who is lonely. Someone who, perhaps lives alone, and has no family. Asking this person to join me, in my plan for the day. Sharing my time with him and build a friendship that could ever be. Finally, my goal is to make others happy with the help of God not to far from wherever I am. With this goal, I can never go back and make a brand new start but I can start from now and make a brand new ending.

You are waiting to hear thunder and see lightning in the sky
Oh but God can work his wonders through a still, small voice inside
So keep listening and learning and continue on a journey
Just following the one who is on way, Oh He's the only road you need to take.

-Real Happiness is through the path of our God. As a happy being, In my life, I had learned of five rules to be happy, First, To free my heart of hatred - I learned that hatred makes our lives miserable that leads to many kinds of bad things that people might think or do. Secondly, free my mind from worries – Worries is one way of releasing of ones faith in God. Third is living in a simple life, a simple life which doesn't have to seek for impossible things that may lead me to do bad things just to get it. Just live simply. Fourthly, giving more to others such as love, caring and all things that I can share. "It's better to give than to receive." Lastly, Expecting less for all of these will give me an ultimate fulfillment which is equal to happiness, and I believed that as a happy being these rules to be happy is a way of God that I only need to take.

-Whatever I do is directly to my conscience, conscience that tells me weather it is right or wrong, conscience that helps me to analyze things from good to bad. Whenever I am doing something, I ask myself the question "Am I hurting myself or others". If I answer is no, then I am not doing harm and that's my conscience always says.

Generally, wherever we are going God is always there not too far from us, He knows everything what we do and guide in everything what we decide. A good person must have his goals how to do it, must live with it and must have a conscience that will help him to grow with living with the Lord.

Bida ka, Pinoy Abroad!

2009-09-05T20:00:00.000-07:00

Talamak na ang kahirapan sa ating bayan, Kalunos-lunos ang mga pamilyang naghihikahos, kahindik-hindik ang mga krimeng nagaganap dahil sa kahirapan. Kawalang edukasyon sa karamihan, at kakulangan sa kaalaman. Tsk...tsk...tsk... Ano na tayo Bayan?!

Wag malungkot! Hindi ito permanente mga pare koy, kung baga ito ay "overexageration lang". Ang nais ko naman talagang ipahiwatig sa inyo ay ang ipakita at ipabatid sa inyo ang tunay na kalagayan ng ating bansa. Kailangan ng bawat isa ang sariling pagsisikap upang pasimulan ang tunay na pag-unlad. Mula sa sarili "Ako ang simula" kung baga. Mangarap tayo at matutong paunlarin ang sarili. Kung iisipin kung lahat ay mag-iisip ng ganito ay hidi lang tayo ang makikinabang kundi pati na rin ang ating bayan.

Si kuya, isang OFW sa bansang Qatar. Nag-umpisa sya bilang isang simpleng mamayan na hindi huminto sa pag-babanat ng buto. Mula pag-kabata ay inihanda ang sarili sa kanyang kinabukasan kung paano makakatulong sa pamilya at sa bayan. Mula sa pagtitinda ng kung anu-ano, sa pag-pasok sa kung anu-anong malilinis na raket at sa pag-susumikap na makapagtapos ng pag-aaral hindi sya huminto na mangarap. Sinikap nyang maabot ang kanyang mga ninanais. Ganunpaman, hindi naging ganap ang kanyang pag-pupunyagi dahil nga sa kakulangan na kinikita sa bawat araw. Hindi lubos maisip ng kuya ko na halos lahat ng pagod at pag-gamit ng utak ang kanyang pinipuhunan makuha lamang ang kanyang inaasam ngunit ito'y kulang. Hindi maling talikuran ang sariling bayan kung ang ninanais mo ay para sa kabutihan ng pamilya at nang ating bayan. Agad kong ipinayo sa aking kapatid ang makipag-sapalaran sa ibang bayan. Hindi naglaon, siya ay lumipad at hinanap ang sariling swerte sa ibang bansa.

Nakonsensya ako sa aking mga naririnig tungkol sa mga katagang "Balang-araw mauubos ang ating mga mahuhusay upang manilbihan sa mga banyaga." ngunit nang marinig ko isang araw ang hatid na balita ng pamahalaan na tumataas ang kita ng ating bansa dahil sa mga OFW's ay agad akong naliwanagan. Kung iisipin, hindi madaling mangibambayan lalot na't kapalit nito ay ang mawalay sa pamilya at minamahal. Sa rason na maiahon ang pamilya mula sa kahirapan ay ipag-papalit ang ilang taong kalungkutan at pagpupunyagi. Hayyy.... Bida ka Pinoy Abraoad....

Si kuya ay isang representate lamang ng lahat ng mga pinoy na naninilbihan at nagpupunyagi para sa mga minamahal. Bagong bayani ika nga, totoo sa aking palagay pagkat sila ang parang mahigpit na kinakapitan ng ating bansa upang umunlad. Pasasaan bat magsisisbalikan din ang mga yan upang tayo nanaman ang pagsilbihan ng mga banyaga. Mga Filipinong OFW's at mga Matatapang na manlalaro sa ibang bansa na humahakot ng salapi at "awards" bilang gantimpla. Tunay nga kayong bayani.

Darating ang panahon, sa pamamagitan ng konting tiis at maraming pagsisikat aangat tayong mga Filipino sa pamamagitan ng mga OFW's. Ang talamak na kahirapan, kalunos-lunos ng pag-hihikahos, ang kahindik-hindik na krimen, at ang kawalang edukasyon ay unti-unting mapapawi sa pamamagitan ng ating pag-pupunyagi na mai-ahon ang sarili at pag-kakaroon ng pangarap para sa sarili, pamilya at sa bayan....
Mabuhay ka Pinoy-Abroad!

My Blogging Principles and Recommendations

2009-09-04T05:48:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, people are now aware of computer technology wherein everything could be done in a simple way....... Including blogging.

Before anything else i'd like to introduce to you especially for those beginners what blogging is. Based from WIKIPEDIA 2008 A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog etc..etc... (para 1)

Like many of bloggers, I was also impressed by the enthusiasm the bloggers had for blogging in their life! I just loved reading from them how they could learn from each other and develop and share their own thoughts and opinions through writing, reading, reflecting, and responding via the blog. After blogging with others this past year, I found that i was also enthusiastic to connect with them , but sustaining the conversation is something that takes thought; the interaction needs to be varied. Therefore, I liked reading about the different ways they used the blog: Telling about waking-up in the morning, How do they look, live blogging and etc... Till I found out, I am now also do blogging.

For almost four years of my Blogging Hobby I have so many things that i learned and finally got my principle of blogging. For me to be able to express my feelings and thoughts i always do blogging. I always put to my mind that in order for me to be responsible for what i am going to write everything must be done to ensure that what would writing be presented is true and fair. An Idea to publish something just to express once feeling is not enough when that feeling is a feeling of guilt or evil.

Since Blogging is not enforceable, everyblogger believes that whatever we write is always correct depending on our beliefs. However, don't we know that every decisions in life that we are going to make like writing has always a rewards or consequences? Rewards? at blogging, we can earn a rewards when somebody believed that what we have written is true-some kind of an appreciation for us to be inspired. Consequences? Words, once they are blogged, have a life of their own. This means that if we will write somethings wrong and unfair for someone or something or for some issues this will be connected to our personality as a blogger and our credibility will suddenly be lost or lessen.

For my recommendations, In order for us to earn trust and respect from our readers and be known as credible for everything that we are publishing , at least have our own set of ethics by means of writing in a responsible way. Letting the reader feel relaxed and confident with what they are reading is one of the Blogger's Principle that we have to pursue.

Be Present, Show up. Post as always as you could. Develop a posting schedule, whether it's daily or weekly. Develop a blogging schedule and stick to it. Be True Don't just cut and paste your articles or ideas to your blog. Add your own thoughts. Answer comments honestly. If a comment requires a more than a few sentences to respond to, then create a post about it instead-That is being a responsive Blogger. This is part of the reason that you have a blog. Obcourse honesty is important. If you do, then I guarantee that you will be discovered. The results will be worse than if you never started blogging. Patience is also required. It takes times to build relationships through blogging. You wouldn't expect a friendship to develop overnight – neither will a reader relationship. The relevance is also included. It's great to add-in some pictures to help the readers get to know, but make sure that you also include images that they care about.

Generally, Principles of Blogging is not about the law on blogging or ethics of Journalism rather it is how we are going to be credible with Blogging in a way that we are not just entertaining the reader, giving informations, persuading for advertisements, telling a story, etc... but also delivering our thoughts, feelings and ideas about a certain issue.

Uya na a kamot ko magkamayan na kita,
Patawadun mo ako, pinapatawad taka.
Si satuyang iribahan tara idagos ta,
Ining satuyang urulayan ngunyan tapos na!

Animated Me

2009-09-02T06:04:00.000-07:00

I once asked myself, how history was written. I said, "I have to invent it."
When I wish as now to tell of critical incidents, persons, and events that have influenced my life and work, the true answer is all of the incidents were critical,
all of the people influenced me, everything that happened and that
is still happening influences me.

It's very hard for me to describe myself but this, I guess, is difficult for everybody. I think I'm a relatively thoughtful and quiet person, especially towards people I don't know very well. However, people who I call my friends, know me as a very lively and talkative person.

Basically, I think I'm a positive and life-affirming person. In my mind, everybody can reach nearly every goal, in case he/she really believes in it. You just need a great portion of staying power, motivation, and enthusiasm - and I think, I do fulfill these "requirements".

At least till now, I was able to turn most of my dreams into reality - and some are still waiting to become reality. I also believe that I'm patient and relatively calm - in the past, this wasn't necessarily the case but certain events in my life changed this behavior. Even so, sometimes I still can be very quick-tempered.

Furthermore, I think that I'm quite quick-witted - I often come up with an answer like that and moreover, I do not just sit down and take things (especially those that bother me) like that. Unfortunately, that's not always favorable - sometimes I have the feeling that people get a wrong impression of me - the impression that I always have to have the last word.

Apart from that, I'm curious and therefore I get relatively easy enthusiastic about certain ideas, things, etc. I also do not shrink back from challenges - on the contrary, most of the time I love to accept challenges.

Although I'm able to be spontaneous, I rather prefer to think over certain things in advance. Therefore, I sometimes have the problem of racking my brain over things, which do not occur in the end. But meanwhile, I'm working on this "problem".

Moreover, I'm very reliable - if I promise something I'll keep it. That's why I can't stand unreliable persons - if he/she is not able to hold onto things promised, then he/she should not promise anything.

I was born on July 24th, 1984, in the province of Daet, Camarines Norte in that part of Bicol-Philippines.

My father was a printing press operator and my mother was a fish vendor. We led a hard life, almost like peasants. During my childhood I had a long, actively spell of enjoyment and my happiness has always been present.

When I was six and already able to read and write, my parents motivated me to go to Elementary since I already finished primary school and Kindergarten. At that time I discovered very interesting education in Bagasbas Elementary School. I plunged into the lesson and classics of the knowledge. Reading became a passion with me as well as writing. I carried books and pen hidden under my clothes and read and write wherever I could. My education in Elementary was maintained throughout six years with honors and awards each year.

I was quickly preparing to enter the secondary. But unfortunately every year in that level except in fourth year was always transferring into other school; from Moreno Integrated School to Lady of Peñafrancia College and to Camarines Norte National High School.

Apart from my secondary education I had to help my mother at the market to sell fresh Fishes to support our family in our everyday living.

I loved these diverse occupations since nobody checked my spare time, which I was able to devote entirely to business. By the age of seventeen I started to work at Jollibee-Daet as my part time job while I was studying at AMA Computer Learning Center of the same place. I was very proud to myself that time for the reason that it was very impossible for me to be able to work since I was just seventeen with a height of four feet and nine inches. A " Service Crew of the Month" for six consecutive month for being an industrious Pantry man.

During this period my family had encountered a serious problem, made me systematically to make me pursue an independent life. I arranged the world according to my private use, looking at it through my own decisions weather to do bad or whatever I wanted. Within myself I felt vague enchantments, dull restlessness, and uncertain desires. I had hallucinations when I was awake. What wings carried me to unknown worlds!

Already I felt sick and confined at home and later at the hospital; daily life was a burden. I dreamed of great actions, of voyages - rovings across the oceans of a free and independent life.

For entire weeks I would keep away from the house and try to live in the woods like a savage. I formed monstrous shapes in potter's clay, or cut them in trees; I filled my notebooks and the margins of my books with rough sketches, and I spent more than one night crying without reason.

Such was my life until the age of twenty. I shall skip the following years until the age of twenty-two.

I lived in Baguio City and - being twenty-three years old - I naturally had a wild imagination and a tender heart. Misery was my inseparable companion; I was a socialist and the punishment was inevitable. I worked as a Marketing Officer at NELCARD Marketing accredited by Citibank, then after a few months I resigned.

The Korean Guy hired me from his English School after reading my page at the internet entitled " Life's Existence". Considering me a responsible one, He trusted me to manage his Korean English School ( The Units Engl;ish Tutorial Institute). After a year I had enough of the managing school life with its miseries and lack of a future since I'm not yet a graduate in college; besides, my ability for managing was nonexistent.

I was able to find my life in schooling at University of Baguio. I lived near market in a small house. Our income was pitiable, our life hard and tedious, my surroundings primitive. I had hit rock bottom. I was lucky to make the acquaintance of a Born Again Christian Pastor, a convinced and practising christianity. He dazzled and conquered me. A world of fantastic dreams and possibilities opened before my eyes. He had constant and close contact with christianity circles at Chatedral of Praise in Baguio City, corresponded regularly with Mommy Fennie, wrote in spiritualist journals, and was always giving an spiritual advices. For them, God is the King. They were kind and very much concerned about our family.

Way back from my sad experience, I suffered from illness for six years-from 1998-2004 ( didn't include at the beginning). My right ankle was infected that took me to bed for almost a year with a half year of state of deep and prolonged unconscious or coma. As a result I had learned a lot of leanings in life. My whole being was filled with unspeakable happiness: at last I had found my way. But this good fortune was not without results for my adventurous life.

I began a new Odyssey of misery, roving and struggling with destiny.

With the help of a surprised somebody from anywhere! It was there, too, that I continue living, as I remember when the earth was already opening under my feet. An irresistible fascination with terrifying death killed me ahead of time.

The more profound my faith became, the more violent my fascination with annihilation, and then incessant hunger pushed me toward the abyss.

As I believed, life is a continues learning that I have to discover each day. Being a responsible person is not about avoiding things that will lead into disgrace sometimes it helps me to realized things that happening around me.

At present, I am still seeking for my real life; a life that there will be no sadness that everything must be happiness; Enjoying beyond my control but aware with my doings; Continuing to look for many friends to be a part of my mysterious life and most of all trying to look for my destiny.I could go on but I do not want to waste my time. I will Open my life and all the doors wherever I find them. There is no end to life. And this life proves that everything in this world is part of it.

Paalam Ka Erdy!

Early morning as I was seeking for something through the internet, I read a news regarding about the death of one of the famous religious leader-Eraño G. Manalo of Church of Christ. Since most of my workmates at MEGALOPOLIS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED are devoted to their religion "Iglesia ni Kristo" I also felt loneliness for them. In behalf of my friend George Cabe, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude and sympathy to the family and breathren of Kapatid na Eraño Manalo.

Here is the copy of the news from Yahoo News:

MANILA, Philippines – Erano Manalo, leader of the Philippines' largest indigenous religious sect, has died, his spokesman said Tuesday. He was 84.

Manalo took over Iglesia ni Cristo, or Church of Christ, after the death of his father and the church's founder, Felix Manalo, in 1963. The church is believed to have millions of members but does not disclose the figure.

Manalo died of a heart attack in his Manila home on Monday, the church's spokesman Bienvenido Santiago said.

The church was founded in 1914 when Felix Manalo resigned as minister of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church after questioning the observance of Sabbath on Saturdays. He experienced what he claimed to be a call similar to those of ancient prophets.

Iglesia ni Cristo rejects the Christian doctrine of trinity and believes Christ is one of several prophets.

It is considered the largest indigenous church that originated from the Philippines and the largest independent church in Asia.

From Yahoo News:

http://asia.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090901/tap-as-obit-manalo-510daa6.html

Let us know all about Eraño Manalo from WIKIPEDIA:


Personal
Religion	Iglesia ni Cristo
Other names	Ka Erdy
Date of birth	January 2, 1925
Place of birth	Quezon City, Philippines
Date of death	August 31, 2009 (Age 84)
Place of death	Philippines

Eraño de Guzman Manalo (January 2, 1925 - August 31, 2009), also known as Ka Erdy, was the Executive Minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo religious organization. He took over the administration of the church after the death of his father, Felix Manalo, in 1963. He was instrumental in the propagation and expansion of the church internationally. He previously held office as the General Treasurer of the church, and as a District Minister of Manila.

Biography

Eraño Manalo was the fifth child of Felix Y. Manalo and Honorata de Guzman. His name came from a reversal and elision of the term "New Era," which his father used to describe what he felt was "a new Christian era" as the Iglesia ni Cristo was established.

Manalo initially took up law school, but left his studies to become a minister of the INC. He started attending the church's ministerial classes at the age of 16 and was ordained as a minister by the age of 22. He held various positions in the church including being the general treasurer of the INC and circulation manager of the Pasugo magazine (now known as God's Message). During this time, he wrote a 64-page booklet entitled Christ-God: Investigated-False.

On January 17, 1955, Eraño Manalo married Cristina Villanueva with whom he has six children. In 1953, ten years before his father's death, Eraño Manalo was elected successor to his father as Executive Minister. As of 2005[update] his son Eduardo is INC's Deputy Executive Minister.

Administration

With the passing of Felix Manalo, critics of the church predicted the decline and eventual fall of the Iglesia. To them, the church's popularity was due mainly to the charisma and leadership of Felix Manalo. Barely a month after assuming his role as spiritual leader of the church, the young Manalo began visiting congregations nationwide. At every location he visited, he officiated worship services and staged massive religious rallies in public plazas. During this period of transition in what critics thought was the most vulnerable period of the church, Manalo further consolidated the gains of the church.

In 1947, Manalo became the General Treasurer of the church. He was later elected as successor to Felix Manalo by provincial ministers as early as 1953. In 1957 he became the District Minister of Manila. Very few people outside of the church gave Manalo's leadership potential enough credit. He would later initiate significant moves that would make the church to what it is today.

Manalo demonstrated the church responsiveness to the needs of the poor. Even before the government initiated agrarian reforms, Manalo established model land reforms. In 1965, the first of the resettlement farms was Maligaya farm in Palayan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Similar projects were established in Cavite, Rizal and other provinces.

As early as 1967, four years after assuming leadership role, Manalo set his vision to overseas mission and global expansion. On July 27, 1968 Manalo established the first congregation of the church overseas in Honolulu, Hawaii. Other congregations where established in San Francisco and Los Angeles in California.

In 1968, Manalo moved the headquarters of the church to Diliman, Quezon City and began building major structures in what is now known as the Central Office Complex. The administration of the church is housed at the six-story Central Office building where Manalo has a permanent office. In this building are the offices of departments, social halls and is where thousand of professionals and volunteers work. Also in the complex is the Central Temple which is the largest of the church's house of worship. Nearby is the tent-shaped Tabernacle, which serves as a multi-purpose hall.

Death

In an announcement on dzBB radio, INC spokesperson Bienvenido Santiago confirmed Manalo's death:

"Ikinalulungkot naming ipabatid sa buong Iglesia at sa buong sambayanan na ang tagapamahalang pangkalahatan ng Iglesia ni Cristo, ang kapatid na Eraño G. Manalo ay pinagpahinga na ng Diyos. Pumanaw siya sa kanyang tahanan sa ganap na 3:53 kahapon Agosto 31, 2009, sa gulang na 84 na taon," Santiago said.

Translated to English:

"We are sad to announce to the Iglesia and to the whole nation that the Executive Minister of Iglesia ni Cristo, our brother Eraño G. Manalo, has been laid to rest by God. He passed away at his home 3:53 p.m. on August 31, 2009. He was 84 years old"

Santiago said that according to Dr. Ray Melchor Santos, Manalo died due to cardiopulmonary arrest

Paalam Madam Cory Aquino

2009-08-02T22:38:00.000-07:00



Corazon C. Aquino
Ika-11 Pangulo ng Pilipinas Ikalawang Pangulo ng Ika-apat na Republika Unang Pangulo ng Ikalimang Republika
Panahon ng Panunungkulan
Pebrero 25, 1986 - Hunyo 30, 1992

Madalas nating sabihin nasaan ang demokrasya at madalas din nating isiping " alam ni Tita Cory yan". Sa mga panahong inilagi ni Tita Cory sa ating bansa walang ibang inisip ang ating mahal na pangulo kundi ang pangalagaan ang ating demokrasya na syang umukit sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa.

Hindi man natin personal na kilala si Tita Cory ay masasabi nating naging makabuluhan ang pagiging Filipino niya sa atin.

Ating killanin si Ginang Cory Aquino sa pamamagitan ng WIKI FILIPINO:

Si María Corazón Cojuangco-Aquino na lalong mas kilala sa palayaw na Cory ang ikalabing-isang Pangulo ng Pilipinas ng Republika ng Pilipinas at kauna-unahang naging babaeng pangulo ng Pilipinas (Pebrero 25, 1986–Hunyo 30, 1992). Ipinanganak siya noong Enero 25, 1933 sa Tarlac ng kanyang mga magulang na sina Jose Cojuangco Sr. at Demetria Sumulong. Kilalang may kaya ang kanilang angkan na nagmamay-ari ng malawak na lupain sa Tarlac.

Nagtapos siya sa isang paaralang Katoliko na para lamang sa mga kababaihan bago pinalad na makapag-aral sa Estados Unidos at nakapagtapos nang may digri sa Wikang Pranses at Matematika sa New York's Mount Saint Vincent College. Nagbalik siya ng Pilipinas noong 1953 upang kumuha ng kursong abugasya. Doon niya nakilala ang kabiyak na si Benigno Aquino, Jr. ("Ninoy"), ang pinaslang na lider ng oposisyon noong panahon ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos.

Nailuklok siya sa pamamagitan ng isang mapayapang rebolusyon (Unang Rebolusyon sa EDSA) noong Pebrero 25, 1986 at ibinalik niya ang demokrasya sa bansa. Siya ay kilala rin bilang ina ng artistang si Kris Aquino.

Si Cory Bilang Asawa ni Benigno Aquino, Jr.

Kilalang angkan ang Aquino sa politika. Nahalal bilang mayor si Benigno Aquino, Jr. o kilala sa tawag na Ninoy isang taon matapos ang kanilang pag-iisang dibdib. Naging pinakabata rin itong gobernador hanggang sa maging senador.

Naging pangunahing kritiko ng dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos ang kanyang asawa at isa sa mga nakulong matapos maideklara ang Martial Law noong Setyembre 21, 1972. Dahil sa ilang taong pagkakakulong ng kanyang asawa ay siya ang naging tagapagsalita at katuwang nito sa pakikipag-usap sa mga aktibista at mamamahayag. Pansamantala silang nanirahan sa Boston matapos na palayain ang kanyang asawa upang sumailalim sa operasyon sa puso.

Taong 1983 ng buwan ng Agosto ng mapagpasiyahang bumalik sa Pilipinas ng kanyang asawang si Benigno Aquino, Jr. upang tulungan ang mga taong hindi sang-ayon sa pamumuno ng dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos. Sa kasamaang-palad ay ipinapatay siya matapos makalapag sa paliparan ang eroplanong kanyang sinasakyan.

Si Cory Bilang Unang Babaeng Pangulo ng Pilipinas

Taong 1985 ng mapili siya ng National Press Club ng Maynila upang tumakbo bilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas. Nangako siyang tatakbo sakaling makakalap ang grupo ng isang milyong lagda ng mga taong nagnanais na maging Pangulo siya. Matagumpay namang nakalap ang higit sa isang milyong lagda kung kaya't sinuportahan din siya ng anim pang partido. Napagpasiyahan niyang tumakbo hindi upang maghiganti kundi upang magkamit ng katarungan. May kalakihan ang tsansa niyang mahalal sapagkat bukod sa bago lamang siya sa pulitika ay katulad niya ang mga paniniwala at adhikain ng nasirang asawa.

Sa kasamaang palad ay hindi na natuklasan pa ang kinahinatnan ng eleksyong Pampanguluhan. Matapos ang isang mapayapang rebolusyon (Unang Rebolusyon sa EDSA) noong Pebrero 25, 1986, at mapatalsik sa posisyon ang dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos ay nailagak siyang Pangulo ng Pilipinas ng Pilipinas.

Halos pitong pag-aaklas ang naganap upang siya'y mapatalsik ang dinanas ng kanyang liderato. Ang ilan pa sa mga ito'y pinamunuan ng mga taong nagluklok sa kanya sa pwesto. Taong 1991 nang maglabas ng kasulatang nagpapahintulot sa kanyang manatili sa pwesto hanggang Hunyo 30, 1992. Pinalitan siya ni Fidel V. Ramos bilang Pangulo noong matapos ang kanyang termino.

Si Cory at ang CARP

Dalawang taon matapos siyang maluklok bilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas ng Pilipinas, ipinatupad niya ang Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Act o CARP sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 6657. Ilang kontrobersiya ang kinasangkutan nito lalo pa't kilalang haciendero ng ekta-ektaryang lupain ang kanyang pamilya. Sa ilalim ng programang ito ay mabibigyan ng lupa ang humigit kumulang sa 8.5 milyong magsasaka at manggagawa ng lupa sa loob ng sampung taon upang kumawala sila sa kahirapan at pagiging alipin.

Sa kasamaang palad, ang naipangakong 24 na milyong ektaryang lupa na ipamamahagi sana ay naging 4.7 milyon na lamang. Hindi na natuloy ang maayos na pamamahagi ng lupa dahil na rin sa kakulangan sa pondo at iba pang kadahilanan. Ang ilan namang pinalad na makatanggap ng lupa ay napilitang ibenta itong muli sa iba. 3 sa 5 katao na nagkamit ng lupa ang nagbentang muli nito dahil na rin sa wala silang sapat na pondo upang mapanatili ang kanilang lupain na sana'y planong gawing lupang pang-agrikultura.

Pagkakasakit

Marso 24, 2008 unang natuklasan ang pagkakaroon ng colon cancer ang dating pangulong Corazon Aquino. Humingi ng dasal at suporta para sa kanyang maysakit na ina si Kris Aquino, ang artista at TV host na bunso niyang anak.

Nagsimula ang karamdaman ng dating pangulo sa paulit-ulit na pagtaas ng blood pressure nito, paglalagnat at hirap sa paghinga. Hindi nagtagal ay naiulat ang kawalang-gana nito sa pagkain, hindi gumagaling na pag-ubo at ang kapansin-pansing pagbaba ng timbang na naging sanhi ng kanyang pagkapayat. Ito ang nagbunsod sa magkakapatid na Aquino na ipailalim sa malawakang pagsusuri ang kalusugan ng kanilang ina at dito natuklasan ang pagkakaroon niya ng cancer cancer sa colon.

Nakiusap ang pamilya na irespeto ang pribadong buhay ng kanilang ina at samahan sila sa pagdarasal upang gumaling ang karamdaman nito. Umabot sa mahigit na 14 na buwan ang pakikipaglaban ng pangulo sa sakit na cancer kaalinsunod ang pagpapasailalim sa Chemotherapy sessions.

Laparoscopic Colon Surgery

Sumailalim sa laparoscopic surgery ang dating Pangulong Corazon Aquino noong Mayo 4, 2009 sa Makati Medical City. Ang laparoscopic surgery ay isang uri ng pagtitistis na isinasagawa upang tanggalin ang mga cancer cells sa colon sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng malilit na paghiwa sa sikmura kumpara sa malalaking paghiwa na kinakailangan para sa tradisyunal na operasyon. Ipinapasok ang laparoscope (isang napakaliit na telescope na nakakabit sa video camera) sa isa sa mga butas upang bigyan ng kalayaan ang siruhano na makita ang loob ng tiyan.

Ang mga instrumento ay ipinapasok sa kabilang butas upang tanggalin ang may karamdamang bahagi ng colon. Matapos nito ay muling ilalagay o ikakabit ang malusog na bahagi o parte. Tinatayang umaabot sa dalawa hanggang tatlong oras ang naturang pamamaraan. Matapos ang naganap na sensitibong operasyon ng mga doktor na siyang tumistis sa dating pangulong Corazon Aquino, naiulat kamakailan na matagumpay na naalis ang mga cancer cells sa colon ng una matapos ang isang oras at kalahating operasyon nito sa Makati Medical Center.

Paalam Tita Cory!

Narito ang panalangin ko para sa inyo:

Makapangyarihang Ama pinipuri ka namin at pinapasalamatan sa araw na ito. Akin pong idinudulog sa inyo ang kaluluwa ng pumanaw naming pinuno. Naway tanggapin nyo po sya sa inyong kaharian. Nagpapasalamat po ako sa magandang pangyayari na nilikha ninyo ang isang pinuno na may puso at pang-unawa sa karamihan. Naway tumatak po sa isipan ng karamihan ang kanyang mga magagandang halimbawa na naipakita at naipadama sa sambayanang Filipino. Idinadalangin ko po ang kaligtasan ng kanyang pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay sampu ng mga Filipinong kanyang pinagsilbihan. Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng kabutihan sa amin.

Ang lahat ng ito po ay dinadalangin ko sa pangalan ni Jesus. Amen.

Happy Birthday to me!

2009-07-24T16:38:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to me!
I'ts My 25th Birthday!

July 24, 2009

It's My Birthday! 25th Birthday ko na, Edad na masasabi ko na mas kailangan ko ng maging matured at pag-isipan bawat bagay o desisyon na aking gagawin.

Sa nakalipas na dalawamput-apat na taon napakaraming bagay ang nangyari sakin, may saya, lungkot, hirap, excitements at aral sa bawat pagkakamali kong nagawa. Sabi ko sa sarili ko mas mabuti na rin na habang bata pa ako ay mapahiya at masaktan upang mas maaga kung matutunan kung ano ang tama at mali lalong lalo na pagdating sa pakikitungo sa kapwa tao.

May mga mapapait din akong naging karanasan sa loob ng dalawamput-apat na taon at masaya ako na maagang nangyari yun sa akin sapagkat itinuro nito sakin ang salitang " napala ".Nalaman kong bawat desisyon na aking gagawin ay may resulta depende kung ito ay tama o mali, desisyong dapat ay pinagiisipan at inaalam ang kahihinatnan.

Ang 25th birthday ko para sakin ay 23rd bithday palang dahilan sa ang dalawang taon ng ika-19 ko at ika-20 ay itinuturing kong paghinto ng aking buhay. Isang taon at mahigit na may karamdaman at kulang isang taon ng pagpapagaling. Ang dalawang taong iyon ay ang taong wala ako sa sarili. Ganunpaman masasabi ko pa ring itoy naging parte ng aking buhay, isa sa pinakamapait na karanasang aral ng pagkakamali na dapat kong matutunan

25th Birthday, ano nga ba ang buhay na naghihintay sakin ngayong ika-dalawamput-limang taong kaarawan ko. May mga sorpresa nga bang nakabang sakin sa taong ito? May mga bagay ba akong bagong matutuklasan o may pangyayari kayang mahihirapan akong tanggapin?

Sa aking kaarawan wala akong ibang nais maganap kundi ang matupad ang mga pangarap kung, kung pwede nga lang as much as possible e instant or in a flash pero syempre kailangan may effort di ba? Kailangan pinagplaplanuhan at kailangan may vission for this ung bang tipong pinaghihirapan. Alam ko namang bago makukuha ang isang bagay e kailangan mamuhunan ka ng hirap at pawis pero syempre wala namang bayad ang pangarap diba? Siguro this time ay kailangan ko nang magkaroon ng self desipline at self control after all sa dami ng pinagdaanan ko after 24 years di pa ba naman ako matututo. Pero syempre di natin masasabi yan depende na rin yan sa panahon at pagkakataon.

Well, Ang hiling ko nalang sa aking kaarawan ay hopefully puro magagandang surprises ang sumalubong sakin, maging pabor sakin ang takbo ng buhay at ikot ng mundo. Maging matagumpay sa mga bagay na aking nanaisin and to have more friends pa na darating.

* Sa mga nakakabasa po ng aking mga isnusulat dito sa aking Blog na dating "My Life, My World, My Blog...." then "Life's Existence" at ngayon ay titled name itself "Jayson de Lemon" ang www.jaysondelemon.blogdrive.com ay inaanyayahan ko po kayong magbigay ng inyong mga komento, suggestions, o reaksyon hinggil sa aking mga naisusulat pangkaisipan, U can e-mail me sa Nickjhaey@yahoo.com .

Michael Jackson

2009-06-25T16:19:00.000-07:00

Michael Joseph Jackson
(August 29, 1958 � June 25, 2009)

"His Music Will Live Forever"

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 � June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut onto the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1969, and later began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, his 1982 album Thriller remains the world's best-selling record of all time and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller"�widely credited with transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form�helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his often changing appearances and eccentric behavior, generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. Though he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. The singer had experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges.

One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records�including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"�13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career, and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.

On June 25, 2009....

Michael Jackson, the onetime child star turned King of Pop, died in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest in his home. He was 50 years old.

Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center not far from his rental mansion in the Holmby Hills. The cause of death wasn't known.

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, aged 50. The specific cause of death has yet to be determined. Before his death, Jackson had announced a 50-date sell-out This Is It comeback tour, in London, UK.

" The king of pop brought so much joy to everyone, he will be missed deeply RIP MJ we will never forget you, my deepest condolances to your heartbroken family as they go through this difficult time... "

Thanks for the info i got from

Blognet Awards Best Blog First Runner Up for the Month of May and Best Blog Honorable Mention for the Months of April and May

2009-06-02T08:20:00.000-07:00

It's June, 2009! Once again I am updating this post for the reason that I am so proud and happy to tell you that for the third time Blognetawards.com awarded me not only as honorable mention but this time as a Runner Up for the Month of May 2009. This award is all because of you my supporters and thank you very much for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last month I 've got the Honorable Mention for Best Blog for the Month of April 2009 for the second time around. Congratulation to me and thanks to all of my supporters and to the Blognetawards.com !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last February 14 I was recognized by the Admin of Blognet Award to be nominated as Best Blog Diarist. According to them, they found my Blog with a very intense writing and filled with a variety of thoughts, news and stories that will challenge the readers to see life and happenings from a very different point of views. I was flattered that time and couldn't imagined how a simple blogger like me would be involved in that kind of achievement.

Just this morning when I visited the Blognetawards.com when I found out that I got the Honorable Mention for Best Blog for the Month of March.

An honor such as this is a wonderful way for the world wide web to recognize and celebrate the choices, and sometimes the sacrifices, the Bloggers have made. Once again I thank Blognet Awards for this great achievement. This Award will surely give other Bloggers a motivation to continue to write everything that makes sense to their lives.

Philippine 2010 Election - Pagboto, Karapatan at Obligasyon!

2009-05-11T04:15:00.000-07:00

" Sa darating pong eleksyon huwag nyo pong kalilimutang iboto............!"

" Nangangako po akong...........!"

" Ang inyo pong lingkod ay.........!"

" Vote straight..........!

Yan po ang mga katagang malapit na nating marinig sa darating na kampanyahan para sa eleksyon. Marami po sa ating mga Filipino ang siguradong magpapalitan ng ating mga koro-koro hinggil dito, ang iba may negatibong reaksyon at ang iba naman ay positibo ngunit mas marami pa ring nag-hahangad ng salitang PAG-BABAGO. Sa mga taong nag-hahangad ng salitang pag-babago ay masasabi kong kulang ang kahit na milyong-milyong salita lamang kung wala ang salitang kooperasyon. Bilang mga Filipino kailangan ang bawat isa sa ating mga Botante ang patisipasyon sa pamamagitan ng PAG-BOTO. Dito ay maipapakita natin na tayo ay hindi manhid at lalong hindi inutil sapagkat naipapahayag natin ang tinatawag na Demokrasya sa pamamagitan ng malayang pag-boto.

Ngayon, ano nga ba ang nararapat na ikonekta natin sa salitang PAG-BOTO? Karapatan o Obligasyon? Karamihan sa ating mga Filipino ay puro sariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip, lagi nating ipinagsasandalang tayo ay kesyo mahirap lamang, hindi nakatapos, wala tayong pakialam dahil hindi naman tayo pulitiko, gusto natin walang gulo, etc.. na kung saan ay masasabi kong mali! Sapagkat bawat isa sa atin hanggat tayo at ang ating mga pamilya ay nakikinabang at nakaapak sa lupa ng ating bansa ay may kinalaman sa bawat pag-ikot at pag-babago nito. Kung kayat tayo ang responsable sa ano mang pag-babago nito sa pag-unlad man o sa pag-lubog. Hindi po reklamo ang kailangang maging kuntribusyon natin sa ating mga kina-uukulan bagkos kooperasyon. at isa po ang kooperasyon sa PAG-BOTO! Opo ang PAG-BOTO ay isang obligasyon ng bawat isa sa atin.

Naalala ko nung mga panahon na nag-aaral ako sa isang unibersidad, may isang guro na nagtanong sa akin hinggil sa sagot ko na may kinalaman sa pulitika. Tinanaong nya ako, "Ano bang mapapala namin kung boboto kami tulad ng sinasabi mo, basta ako neutral.?" Sa harap ng mga kaklase ko nasagot ko ang titser ko na " Sir, kung lahat ng tao ay mag-iisip katulad ng iniisip mo e talagang walang mangyayari sa hinahangad nating pagbabago."

Tandaan po natin na ang pagbabago ay laging nag-uumpisa sa sarili. Kung alang-alang sa kapakanan ng nakararami at ng kinabukasan ng buong bayan bakit pa kailangan mag-dalawang isip? Kung maari po iwasan po natin ang madalas na pag sabi na tayo ay 'neutral' sapagkat ito po ay kasagutan ng mga taong umiiwas sa pagkakamali na kung saan nag-papakita ng kaduwagan "playing safe" po kumbaga. Ang pag-kakamali po ay normal sapagkat dito po tayo natututo upang maging tama ang ating susunod na desisyon. Ngunit masasabi ko rin na ang paulit-ulit na pagkakamali 'kuno' ay hindi normal bagkus ito ay kawalan ng concern sa kapwa o tamang pag-iisip. Isipin po natin na sa ating mga BOTO nakasalalay ang kapakanan natin, ng ating mga pamilya at ng mga susunod pang henerasyon. Huwag po nating sayangin at abusuhin ang karapatang ibinigay satin ng Diyos na magkaroon ng awtonomiya o pag-kakaroon ng sariling Gobyerno, matuto po tayong mamahala, makikoopera at simulan sa ating mga sarili ang tinatawag natin o ninanais na salitang "PAG-BABAGO"!

Noong nakaraang eleksyon ay masasabi ko pong nakita ko at napansin ang Kooperasyon nating mga Filipino. Maraming nag-boto ultimong yung isang taong di magamit ang kamay at paa ay nagawang mag-boto sa pamamagitan ng bibig, at ang mga naka-wheelchair ay naka-pagboto rin. Ito po ay nag-papakita lamang na karamihan sa atin ay tumutupad sa ating responsibilidad bilang responsableng mamamayan.

Sa kabuuan, ang PAG-BOTO ay Obligasyon at Karapatan na dapat nating isa-isip, isa-puso at isa-buhay bilang partisipasyon sa ating pamayanan. Ang pag-boto ay masasabi kong pag-sunod sa desisyon ng Diyos na tayo ay nararapat lamang na magkaroon ng tinatawag na GOBYERNO.

Mga kababayan, mga kapwa ko botante, lumabas po tayong lahat sa araw ng botohan at matalinong pumili ng kandidato na sa tingin natin ay karapat-dapat sa pwesto. Sa mga bumoboto, sa mga nakilahok sa eleksyon, at sa mga taong nakikisimpatsya sa halalan, Proud po ako sa inyo! Sa mga deserving at walang halong pandaraya na mahahalal Goodluck and God Bless! Asahan nyo po ang aking Kooperasyon!

Happy Mother's Day!

2009-05-06T10:18:00.000-07:00

A day for all of us to honor our MOTHER- A Mother's day celebration. It is also the time of commemoration and celebration for our lovely Mother.

Based from what i have read from Helen Hunt Jackson she described mother as "The woman who creates and sustains a home and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second to God."

We can't deny the fact that the task of a mother is 24 hours and seven days a week just to serve the whole family from husband to his children and being the light if the house so one of the best way to celebrate Mother's Day is to give our mom her day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work.

This time, I tell you that I truly believe that the people in your life deserve to know how much they are loved. So, to all of you let us all give them what ever we can and want to give to show our appreciation to all of the sacrifices of our loving mother for us.

To all of the Mothers, congratulations you've accomplished a miracle! There is no greater sacrifice on earth, in my opinion, than making the decision to be a mother. That is how important you are!

Generally, this article is meant for all the young and aged mothers, Grandmother s and Godmothers, working mothers and housewives, married mothers and the single mothers, those mothers with 100% dedication for their families, for those without whom life would have been insufferable.

I am Wishing you a very Happy Mother's Day!!

Here is the prayer for you:

Most Gracious Heavenly Father,

We thank You for our mothers to whom You have entrusted the care of every precious human life from its very beginning in the womb.

You have given to woman the capacity of participating with You in the creation of new life. Grant that every woman may come to understand the full meaning of that blessing, which gives her an unlimited capacity for selfless love for every child she may be privileged to bear, and for all Your children.

Watch over every mother who is with child, strengthen her faith in Your fatherly care and love for her and for her unborn baby. Give her courage in times of fear or pain, understanding in times of uncertainty and doubt, and hope in times of trouble. Grant her joy in the birth of her child.

To mothers You have given the great privilege and responsibility of being a child's first teacher and spiritual guide. Grant that all mothers may worthily foster the faith of their children, following the example of Mary, Elizabeth, and other holy women who follow Christ. Help mothers to grow daily in knowledge and understanding of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and grant them the wisdom to impart this knowledge faithfully to their children, and to all who depend upon them.

Assist all "spiritual mothers", those who, though they may have no children of their own, nevertheless selflessly care for the children of others -- of every age and state in life. Grant that they may know the joy of fulfilling this motherly calling of women, whether in teaching, nursing, religious life, or in other work which recognizes and fosters the true dignity of every human being created in Your image and likeness.

We beseech You to send Your Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to all mothers who sorrow for children that have died, are ill or estranged from their families, or who are in trouble or danger of any kind. Help grieving mothers to rely on Your tender mercy and fatherly love for all your children.

We ask your blessing on all those to whom You have entrusted motherhood. May Your Holy Spirit constantly inspire and strengthen them. May they ever follow the example of Mary, mother of Our Lord, and imitate her fidelity, her humility, and her self-giving love. May all mothers receive Your Grace abundantly in this earthly life, and may they look forward to eternal joy in Your presence in the life to come.

We ask this through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. AMEN.

( Prayer from Women for Faith & Family (St Louis: Women for Faith & Family, 2005 http://www.wf-f.org/Mothers.html )

Mothers Day is a special day. Everyday is a special day. Let's call our mother. Tell her we love her.

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom Mrs. Erlinda de Lemon.

Temptation

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Thankfulness

Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly, And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasure of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

Happy Graduation

Good Day!

I am both honored and flattered to have been asked to speak for this wonderful occasion.

I congratulate each of you and your parents.

Your achievements in the realms of Scholarship, Leadership, Community Service, and Character are being honored here tonight by your induction into this prestigious society.

An honor such as this is a wonderful way for the school and community to recognize and celebrate the choices, and sometimes the sacrifices, you have made.

But I believe that what should make you and your parents the most proud is not the actual honor itself, but what you had to do to get it. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The reward of a thing well done is to have done it." Any recognition is just the icing on the cake, not to be expected but definitely to be enjoyed.

However, I challenge you not to rest on your laurels but to continue to strive towards even loftier goals.
The four requirements for membership in which you have excelled: scholarship, leadership, community service, and character were not chosen at random.

They are the core of a fulfilled and fulfilling life.

The most important thing to remember is that each of these characteristics are the sum of many individual decisions. They embody a positive attitude backed by purpose. The only way to achieve your purpose is to take small actions everyday. In the end, they all add up. My hope for you is that you will cultivate this attitude backed by purpose in your own life.

Scholarship is much more than just getting straight A's. It is a life-long love of learning. In the end it is a sum of small choices. Each time you decide you WANT to learn something, the experience will be so rewarding that the next time becomes easier.

Soon learning becomes a habit. At that point, your desire to learn makes getting A's easier while taking the focus off of grades. The knowledge can still be hard to gain, but knowing you've mastered a difficult subject is an awesome reward. Suddenly the world around you becomes richer, full of learning opportunities.

Leadership is not about being elected or appointed to an office. The office does not teach someone how to be a leader. Leadership is an attitude cultivated over time.

Are you one to stand up for what you believe in and 'face the music' even when that music happens to be unpleasant? Do you have a purpose and follow that purpose to get the ends you desire? Do you have a vision? These are all questions that true leaders answer in the affirmative.
But how do you become a leader?

Each small decision you make takes you one step closer. Remember the goal is not to get power, but to get your vision and your purpose across. Leaders without visions can be likened to driving in a strange town without a road map: you are going to wind up somewhere, it just might not be in the best part of town.

Many see community service as a means to an end. Some might see it as a way to get service points while socializing, while others may view it as an unfortunate (and often inconvenient) necessity of high school life. But is that true community service?

Once again true community service is an attitude. Are you doing it for the right reasons? I'm not saying there won't be Saturday mornings when you would rather sleep your heart out than paint your heart out.

What I'm talking about is that in the end, when it is all done, and you are once again well-rested, you can look back and realize that you did something worthwhile. That you helped your fellow man in some way. Remember as John Donne said, "No man is an island entire of himself."

Finally, character.

If there is any one thing that is evidenced by your daily choices it is your character.

I truly believe what Thomas Macaulay said, "The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out."

What do you do when no one's around? The teacher steps out of the room for a moment while you are taking a test after school. You know exactly where in your notes the answer to question 23 is. Do you look? Minimal chance of being caught!

The answer to this question is the key to your true character.

For while being honest and honorable when others are watching is important, being true to yourself is tantamount.

And in the end, these private day-to-day decisions will eventually reveal your true character to the world.

All in all, are making the tough choices worth it?

Yes.

While it would be easier to slide through life without a purpose, without a code, it would not be fulfilling. Only by setting difficult goals and achieving them can we find true self-worth.

One final thing, each person's goals are different, and what comes easy to one may be difficult for another. Therefore, do not squash others' dreams. This is a surefire way to know that you aren't working towards fulfilling your own.

In conclusion, I congratulate you for this honor. You are truly the best of the best. Enjoy yourself, and remember as Mother Teresa said, "Life is a promise; fulfill it."

( Ang Graduation ko pong ito ay isa lamang sa mga magagandang imahinasyon ko. Hindi po totoong grumaduate ako sa kolehiyo. Isa lamang po ito sa mga pangarap na nagagawa kong tuparin sa pamamagitan ng aking Blog. Inihanda ko ang speech na yan sa pamamagitan ng aking malawak na kaisipan. )

Happy Graduation to all the Graduates of Batch 2009!

Life's Journey

2009-03-06T05:09:00.000-08:00

"The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being."

Madalas iniisip ko at sinasabi ko sa sarili ko, San ba talaga patungo ang buhay natin? Mula kasi pagkabata e dalawang uri lang ng klase ng buhay ang nararanasan natin, ang mamuhay sa ibabaw paminsan-minsan at mamuhay sa ilalim, gulong ng palad kumbaga. Isa rin sa mga pagkakataon na kapag nabigyan tayo ng oportunidad e parang di na natin napapansin ang mga paghihirap na napagdaanan natin malasap lang natin ang panandaliang kaligayahan. May swerte tayo na tinatawag at hindi natin maikakaila na lahat tayo ay nagnanasa na makamtan ito, swerte na inaasahan natin makapagbabago ng takbo ng ating buhay.......

Kung iisipin, Ang buhay natin ay parang isang paglalakbay, Dumadaan tayo sa napakaraming lugar na kung saan bawat isa sa mga pook na ito ay nagsisilbing alaala na tumutulong satin bilang kaakibat sating pamumuhay at ito ay tinatawag nating karanasan, May mga pagkakamali at may mga tagumpay, may masasalimoot at may kasiyahan. Ngunit ano nga ba ang kinalaman nito sa ating buhay? Hindi ba't lahat naman tayo ay nag-umpisa bilang isang mang-mang, mahina at walang muwang?.....

May mga katanungan tayo na kahit simpleng sagutin ay mahirap natin itong maipaliwanag, madalas, kung di man natin ito masagot e naghahanap tayo ng rason upang isisi sa iba na kung tutuusin tayo ang responsable para sa bagay na hindi na tin masagot sa kadahilanang hindi natin ito matanggap.

Ang katotohanan po base sa aking mga naging karanasan, mapalad po yung mga taong maagang nakaranas ng paghihirap sa buhay dahil maaga rin nilang natutunan kung paano harapin ang ganitong mga pagkakataon. Mapalad din po ang mga taong maaga pang napapahiya upang maaga rin nilang maunawaan kung papano ang mapahiya at kung gaano ito kahirap sa damdamin. Mapalad din po ang mga taong nakakasaksi sa pagkakamali ng iba at nagiging mapanuri dahil sila ang higit na dapat matututo.

Marahil po e nagtatanong kayo kung bakit ko inilalahad ang mga bagay na ito..... Sa kalagitnaan po ng aking paglalakbay sa buhay ay napansin ko po mula sa aking sarili at sa mga taong nakapaligid sa atin kung gaano kahirap matuto mula sa mga karanasan. Bakit? Para po sa akin na nais kung ishare sa inyo ay sa kadahilanang sa dami po ng ating mga iniisip ay nakakalimutan na po nating iorganisa ang ating mga buhay ayon sa mga bagay na nararanasan natin mula sa nakaraan hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

Sabi nga nila looking glass, madalas madmi tayong reklamo sa buhay na kung tutuusin mas maswerte pa tayo kesa sa iba. May mga bagay na masyado nating kinaawaan ang sarili natin dahil sa sinapit ng ating buhay ngunit kung susubukan nating pagmasdan ang mga bata sa lansangan na kailangang mamalimos para lang mabuhay, mga bata sa basurahan nakahit delikado sa kalusugan ay magahahalukay para lang may makain. Marahil yung iba sa inyo ay nag-iisip na "iba sila, iba kami." Totoo nga talaga na ang tao sa mundo ay walang kakuntentuhan ngunit kung susubukan nating maging maging masaya sa kung anong meron tayo siguro iisipin naman natin na walang kasiyahan dahil sabi nga walang pinakapermanente dito sa mundo kundi ang pagbabago.

Ayon sa napagaralan ko sa aming Sociology subject, Ang isang tao raw ay maiclaclasify natin sa tatlong dimension.Ang Tingin ng tao sa iyo, ang tingin mo sa sarili mo at kung sino ang totoong ikaw. Kadalasan, pinupuna natin ang kapwa natin sa pisikal lamang na kaanyuan. Meron din namang mga taong kung tumingin ay napakatransparent, hindi lamang sa pisikal na kaanyuan kundi pati na rin sa kung ano pang bagay meron ang taong kanyang pinagmamasdan. Pero madalas nakakaligtaan natin ang tingnan ang ating sarili bago tayo magbigay ng puna sa iba na kung saan hindi tayo nagiging patas sa sarili natin.Kahit na ba sabihin na totoo lang ang sinasabi mo e kailangan pa rin nating isaalang-alang ang ano ang maaring maramdaman at kung anong maaring bumalik sayo. Ang pagiging prangka ay malaki ang naitutulong sa taong pinagsasabihan dahil sa tindi ng sakit ng salitang ito naiintindihan natin ang salitang "dapat baguhin" ngunit sa kabila nito malaki rin ang perwisyo dahil may mga taong nahihirapang tanggapin ang mga bagay na may patungkol sa katotohanan lalo pa't ang nagsabi nito ay hindi karapat-dapat at walang dapat ipagmalaki, sa makatuwid walang karapatan, at ito ay maaring mapunta sa hindi magandang pagkakaunawaan o mas malala pa.

Noong matanggap ako as one of the Peer Facilitators ng aming paaralan marami akong mga karagdagang natutunan hinggil sa pagbigay ng payo. Natutunan ko na ang pagbibigay ng payo ay hindi sa pamamagitan ng rekomendasyon o ng ano pa mang suhestiyon batay sa problema ng pinagpapayuhan. Kailangan nating hayaan na sya mismo ang makapagresolba ng kanyang problema sa pamamagitan ng tulong na ipamulat sa kanya ang mga solusyon na saya lang ang may kakayahang gumawa at magpasya. Hindi kailangang tayong mga nagpapayo ang magresolba ng kanyang problema. Sa kabila nito, may mga taong hindi namn talaga gaanong problemado bagkus sila ay naghahanap lamang ng taong makakausap upang sa kahit ganung paraan ay gumaan ang kanyang dinadala.

Ang Isang pagkabigo ay isang aspeto o dahilan ng paghihigante ayon sa mga pangyayari. It's not the end of the world ika nga...Hindi lahat ng bagay na nawala sa atin ay maari na ring mawala sa atin habang buhay. May mga pagkakataong madalas nating palakihin ang mga bagay na kung tutuusin ay nangyari lamang sa napakaikling panahon na kung saan e wala pa sa ni katiting na porsyento ng buong buhay natin. Madalas nating ma-misinterpret ang mga bagay na tulad nito dahilan sa bugso ng ating damdamin na kung saan ay dapat nating matutunan kung papaano ito makontrol batay sa kung anong mas nakakabuti...at dyan pumapasok ang pangungusap na "Ang isang pagkakamali ay hindi na dapat sulosyunan pa ng isa pang pagkakamali." Samantalang meron din namang mga salitang " Let it be", " If you love somebody, set him free.", "Ipagpasa Diyos na lang natin." at marami pang iba. Ganunpaman nasasaatin pa ring desisyon kung ano ang gusto nating maramdaman na kadalasan e nakakalimutan natin ang salitang "dapat maramdaman".

Sa kabuuan, ang mga nasabi ko sa artikulong ito ay buhat lamang sa mga experiensyang nangyayari sa ara-araw na pamumuhay ng tao. At kung malalaman lamang ng bawat isa ang tinatatawag na moral sa kahit anong aspeto ay hindi malayong magkakaroon tayo ng kontrol sa bawat kilos at sinasabi ng ating konsensya. Marami pang ibang aral ang matutunan natin habang tinatahak natin ang ating mga buhay. Sa aking rekomendasyon, matuto tayong umusisa, magtanong, manaliksik sa mga bagay sa ating kapaligiran at matuto sa mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa bawat araw sa ating buhay.

........My Life's Journey is Now Showing.... into Reality!

Self Control

And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of Engedi. Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where [was] a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily. And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the Lord. So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way. David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself. And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and [some] bade [me] kill thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he [is] the Lord's anointed. Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that [there is] neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it. The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. The Lord therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.

I See Me

2009-02-06T05:09:00.000-08:00

I See Me

When I look into these eyes
I find things no one else ever catches a glimpse at

I see this fear of judgment
that makes him cower at confrontation

I see this hopelessness for the future
that make his choices his burden alone

I see this desperate need for companionship to
make his strong in the savage world of humans

I see this courage
caged in his thoughts of inferiority

I see these thoughts of abandonment
that make his cling to anything

I see this devotion to his beliefs
that makes his fear death

And I hate that the person I always see is me.

A Prayer for a Friend

Dear Lord,
If I could only be,
Worthy of one wish from Thee.
I would not ask for wealth or fame--
For I have more in Jesus' Name;
I would nor ask for homes and lands--
My treasures lie in Jesus' hands;
I would not ask for health or food--
For thou dost give me all that's good;
But I would that I could see,
Just how the greatest friend to be
To all Thou'st given me to love,
Both here and in our Home above--
That, Lord, the love Thou hast given me
Might fill thier lives and soul, that he
Will never question, never fear,
My love for them is just veneer--
But man each time I clasp thier hands,
Feel friendship true, and understand
That of Thy many gifts I see,
they are a precious one to me.
Amen
Mga Padi, Mga Madi mabuhay kitang gabos!!!!

What I've Learned About Friendship

2009-02-01T05:57:00.000-08:00

"Hello. My name is Jayson de Lemon and I am sending this to you because i want to share with you what i've learned about friendship. This is not a poem really, but I think it's nice and nearly anyone can ralate to it, especially youth like myself.

What I've Learned About Friendship

I've learned that there are many good friends
around, but true best friends are hard to come by.
I've learned that sometimes you love a best friend
more than a girlfriend.
I've learned that a best friend is more important than a girlfriend.
I've learned that you can do something or nothing
with a best friend and still have the best time.
I've learned that a true friendship has many memories, both good and bad, but all important.
I've learned that sometimes the most used part of a best friend is the shoulder you cry on, and the
shoulder you are willing to lend.
I've learned that when a best friend is happy, you find yourself happy too, even when it has nothing to do with you.
I've learned that a best friend's family soon feels like your own.
I've learned that the only one who truly understands is a true friend.
I've learned that nothing ever sounds stupid, funny, or unbelievable to a best friend, and you never feel stupid saying whatever it is.
I've learned that sometimes it feels like a best friend is the only one who will ever care about you and think you are beautiful in your own way.
I've learned that you always have that something extra to give to a best friend in need, and can count on that in return.
I've learned that your heart is forever touched by a true friend, no matter how things end up.
I've learned that when your heart has been broken, a best friend is the best band-aid for it.
I've learned that a best friend will call you in the middle of the night to talk without thinking, and it's OK.
I've learned that in many cases, a hug and a kind word from a best friend is the only thing that helps get you through the day.
I've learned that a best friend would stick up for you no matter what the consequences are.
I've learned that best friends can sing at the top of their lungs and not worry about singing the wrong words or being out of tune.
I've learned that best friends stay up all night and on the phone for hours talking without even realizing it.
I've learned that a best friend can tell the difference between a silly crush, and more than that.
I've learned that sometimes a best friend is all you have.
I've learned that sometimes you wonder how she knew, but then you realize that's just how close you are.
I've learned that when you are true best friends, everyone else knows it.
I've learned that, most importantly of all, best friends will always be best friends, no matter what is happening in their lives, where they are, or what they are doing. A best friend is irreplaceable. This is the most important thing I could have ever been taught by a best friend.

Conscience

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Luke 11:33-36

Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T04:59:00.000-08:00

Hello friends,

Each year I grow more grateful for precious friends like YOU.

Sometimes I wish I could jump over all of the holiday and dive right into the new year.

I love a new year!

In a new year we have the opportunity to begin again and everything is possible.

Before we begin the new year I want to acknowledge YOU and let you know that just by being you, you have contributed in some way to my spiritual and professional growth... and I hope that I have also contributed in some way to your success and prosperity.

Everyone we meet changes our life in some way.

THANK YOU for finding your way into my life!

Imagine the difference each of us can make if every time you see someone anywhere and everywhere you say out loud or silently, "I love you."

Love is a form of meditation.

Sit quietly for a few minutes and simply say silently, "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

FEEL the difference.

The next time you get angry with someone, send love.

Just say silently "I love you."

You can choose love in any situation.

It is YOUR choice.

So, as we each make our way through all the holiday celebrations and get ready to celebrate the beginning of a new year, know that you ARE loved and that your presence here on earth is meaningful and makes a difference in the lives of those around you.

You have the opportunity to be, do and have anything you want, and you don't have to wait for the new year.

Begin now.

Choose to think and say only high vibration thoughts and words.

I am grateful for...

I love you because you are you.

I love myself because I am me.

I appreciate you because...

I appreciate myself because...

I choose peace. I AM peace.

I choose joy. I AM joy.

I choose abundance. I AM abundance.

I choose well being. I AM well being.

I CHOOSE LOVE.

I CHOOSE LOVE.

May your holiday celebrations be bright and shiny with joy and may your new year begin with a bang that expands throughout the year to being you more peace, more joy, more abundance, more well being and MORE LOVE.

Give more love.

Receive more love.

Know that I love you.

Many blessings for a happy holiday and prosperous new year.

In sincere appreciation,

Jayson de Lemon

I am Simply Simple

2008-12-01T20:03:00.000-08:00

I am Simply Simple

I am no more,
Nor, Am I any less.
Not the worse
Nor, Am I the best

I am Simply Simple

Not the cutest
Or handsome, How ever you sat it.
I don't get everything I want
Or want everything I get.

I am Simply Simple

I can lie
Or tell the truth.
I do though prefer the truth
This poem is deffinetly not a spoof.

I am Simply Simple

Words don't have to rhyme as I am told
I know my stuff ain't that great.
But, I supose it will do
Did I mention I've never been on a real date.

I am Simply Simple

I have sinned numerous times
And, I am not afraid to tell.
I ask for forgiveness
Because, Well, I don't wanna go to hell.

I am Simply Simple

I am being very sincere
With my poetry
Some may go Ewww Ugly!
And, Some may go Wow, What a beauty.

I am Simply Simple

I have nothing else much to say
Other than I'm just a average Juan de La cruz.
And after reading this poem
I excpect nothing more than maybe a "WAY TO GO"

I am Simply Simple.

World Aids Day

2008-12-01T06:07:00.000-08:00

HIV/AIDS has been a global epidemic for more than 27 years. Most of today's youth have never known a world without it. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published national HIV incidence (new infections) that showed much higher numbers that previous estimates. The time is now. Together, we can prevent the spread of this pandemic – through awareness, care, prevention, education and research.

"HIV/AIDS has now become a pandemic that has literally put the world at risk, affecting diverse populations in different ways". –Dr. Nora Volkow, NIDA Director

On December 1st, individuals and organizations will recognize World AIDS Day. This year's theme is leadership – from all sectors, including government, but also leaders among individuals and families, communities, non-profits and other organizations.

In the honor of Miguel Gomez, Director, AIDS.gov I'de like to give way for this campaigne:

World AIDS Day - December 1, 2008

Join AIDS.gov to promote this important day!

World AIDS Day 2008

Worldwide the estimated number of people living with HIV is over 33 million. An estimated one million Americans are living with HIV.

WAYS YOU CAN TAKE ACTION

Join the "Facing AIDS: World AIDS Day 2008" Campaign

In four easy steps, you can help reduce the stigma around HIV/AIDS:

Take a picture of yourself wearing a red ribbon. Be creative!
Add the photo to your social network profiles, Twitter, blog, and/or website before December 1. Leave it up for at least a week.
Add your photo to the "World AIDS Day 08" Flickr group!
Encourage your friends to do the same and to promote HIV testing!

Copy the code below to add a "Facing AIDS" badge to your profile, blog, or website.

As a Blogger to participate in this celebration, let me just introduce you some information about HIV/AIDS:

Based from http://www.avert.org:

People have been warned about HIV and AIDS for over twenty years now. AIDS has already killed millions of people, millions more continue to become infected with HIV, and there's no cure – so AIDS will be around for a while yet.

AIDS is one of the biggest problems facing the world today and nobody is beyond its reach. Everyone should know the basic facts about AIDS.

What is AIDS?

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a medical condition. People develop AIDS because HIV has damaged their natural defences against disease.

What is HIV?

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

HIV is a virus. Viruses infect the cells that make up the human body and replicate (make new copies of themselves) within those cells. A virus can also damage human cells, which is one of the things that can make a person ill.

HIV can be passed from one person to another. Someone can become infected with HIV through contact with the bodily fluids of someone who already has HIV.

HIV stands for the 'Human Immunodeficiency Virus'. Someone who is diagnosed as infected with HIV is said to be 'HIV+' or 'HIV positive'.

Why is HIV dangerous?

The immune system is a group of cells and organs that protect your body by fighting disease. The human immune system usually finds and kills viruses fairly quickly.

So if the body's immune system attacks and kills viruses, what's the problem?

Different viruses attack different parts of the body - some may attack the skin, others the lungs, and so on. The common cold is caused by a virus. What makes HIV so dangerous is that it attacks the immune system itself - the very thing that would normally get rid of a virus. It particularly attacks a special type of immune system cell known as a CD4 lymphocyte.

HIV has a number of tricks that help it to evade the body's defences, including very rapid mutation. This means that once HIV has taken hold, the immune system can never fully get rid of it.

There isn't any way to tell just by looking if someone's been infected by HIV. In fact a person infected with HIV may look and feel perfectly well for many years and may not know that they are infected. But as the person's immune system weakens they become increasingly vulnerable to illnesses, many of which they would previously have fought off easily.

The only reliable way to tell whether someone has HIV is for them to take a blood test, which can detect infection from a few weeks after the virus first entered the body.

When HIV causes AIDS

A damaged immune system is not only more vulnerable to HIV, but also to the attacks of other infections. It won't always have the strength to fight off things that wouldn't have bothered it before.

As time goes by, a person who has been infected with HIV is likely to become ill more and more often until, usually several years after infection, they become ill with one of a number of particularly severe illnesses. It is at this point in the stages of HIV infection that they are said to have AIDS - when they first become seriously ill, or when the number of immune system cells left in their body drops below a particular point. Different countries have slightly different ways of defining the point at which a person is said to have AIDS rather than HIV.

AIDS is an extremely serious condition, and at this stage the body has very little defence against any sort of infection.

How long does HIV take to become AIDS?

Without drug treatment, HIV infection usually progresses to AIDS in an average of ten years. This average, though, is based on a person having a reasonable diet. Someone who is malnourished may well progress to AIDS and death more rapidly.

Antiretroviral medication can prolong the time between HIV infection and the onset of AIDS. Modern combination therapy is highly effective and, theoretically, someone with HIV can live for a long time before it becomes AIDS. These medicines, however, are not widely available in many poor countries around the world, and millions of people who cannot access medication continue to die.

How is HIV passed on?

HIV is found in the blood and the sexual fluids of an infected person, and in the breast milk of an infected woman. HIV transmission occurs when a sufficient quantity of these fluids get into someone else's bloodstream. There are various ways a person can become infected with HIV.

Ways in which you can be infected with HIV :

Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected person Sexual intercourse without a condom is risky, because the virus, which is present in an infected person's sexual fluids, can pass directly into the body of their partner. This is true for unprotected vaginal and anal sex. Oral sex carries a lower risk, but again HIV transmission can occur here if a condom is not used - for example, if one partner has bleeding gums or an open cut, however small, in their mouth.
Contact with an infected person's blood If sufficient blood from an infected person enters someone else's body then it can pass on the virus.
From mother to child HIV can be transmitted from an infected woman to her baby during pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding. There are special drugs that can greatly reduce the chances of this happening, but they are unavailable in much of the developing world.
Use of infected blood products Many people in the past have been infected with HIV by the use of blood transfusions and blood products which were contaminated with the virus - in hospitals, for example. In much of the world this is no longer a significant risk, as blood donations are routinely tested.
Injecting drugs People who use injected drugs are also vulnerable to HIV infection. In many parts of the world, often because it is illegal to possess them, injecting equipment or works are shared. A tiny amount of blood can transmit HIV, and can be injected directly into the bloodstream with the drugs.

It is not possible to become infected with HIV through :

sharing crockery and cutlery
insect / animal bites
touching, hugging or shaking hands

HIV facts and myths

People with HIV look just like

everybody else

Around the world, there are a number of different myths about HIV and AIDS. Here are some of the more common ones :

'You would have to drink a bucket of infected saliva to become infected yourself' . . . Yuck! This is a typical myth. HIV is found in saliva, but in quantities too small to infect someone. If you drink a bucket of saliva from an HIV positive person, you won't become infected. There has been only one recorded case of HIV transmission via kissing, out of all the many millions of kisses. In this case, both partners had extremely badly bleeding gums.

'Sex with a virgin can cure HIV' . . . This myth is common in some parts of Africa, and it is totally untrue. The myth has resulted in many rapes of young girls and children by HIV+ men, who often infect their victims. Rape won't cure anything and is a serious crime all around the world.

'It only happens to gay men / black people / young people, etc' . . . This myth is false. Most people who become infected with HIV didn't think it would happen to them, and were wrong.

'HIV can pass through latex' . . . Some people have been spreading rumours that the virus is so small that it can pass through 'holes' in latex used to make condoms. This is untrue. The fact is that latex blocks HIV, as well as sperm - preventing pregnancy, too.

What does 'safe sex' mean?

Safe sex refers to sexual activities which do not involve any blood or sexual fluid from one person getting into another person's body. If two people are having safe sex then, even if one person is infected, there is no possibility of the other person becoming infected. Examples of safe sex are cuddling, mutual masturbation, 'dry' (or 'clothed') sex . . .

In many parts of the world, particularly the USA, people are taught that the best form of safe sex is no sex - also called 'sexual abstinence'. Abstinence isn't a form of sex at all - it involves avoiding all sexual activity. Usually, young people are taught that they should abstain sexually until they marry, and then remain faithful to their partner. This is a good way for someone to avoid HIV infection, as long as their husband or wife is also completely faithful and doesn't infect them.

What is 'safer sex'?

Safer sex is used to refer to a range of sexual activities that hold little risk of HIV infection.

Safer sex is often taken to mean using a condom for sexual intercourse. Using a condom makes it very hard for the virus to pass between people when they are having sexual intercourse. A condom, when used properly, acts as a physical barrier that prevents infected fluid getting into the other person's body.

Is kissing risky?

Kissing someone on the cheek, also known as social kissing, does not pose any risk of HIV transmission.

Deep or open-mouthed kissing is considered a very low risk activity for transmission of HIV. This is because HIV is present in saliva but only in very minute quantities, insufficient to lead to HIV infection alone.

There has only been one documented instance of HIV infection as a result of kissing out of all the millions of cases recorded. This was as a result of infected blood getting into the mouth of the other person during open-mouthed kissing, and in this instance both partners had seriously bleeding gums.

Can anything 'create' HIV?

No. Unprotected sex, for example, is only risky if one partner is infected with the virus. If your partner is not carrying HIV, then no type of sex or sexual activity between you is going to cause you to become infected - you can't 'create' HIV by having unprotected anal sex, for example.

You also can't become infected through masturbation. In fact nothing you do on your own is going to give you HIV - it can only be transmitted from another person who already has the virus.

Is there a cure for AIDS?

HIV medication can slow the

progress of the virus

Worryingly, surveys show that many people think that there's a 'cure' for AIDS - which makes them feel safer, and perhaps take risks that they otherwise shouldn't. These people are wrong, though - there is still no cure for AIDS.

There is antiretroviral medication which slows the progression from HIV to AIDS, and which can keep some people healthy for many years. In some cases, the antiretroviral medication seems to stop working after a number of years, but in other cases people can recover from AIDS and live with HIV for a very long time. But they have to take powerful medication every day of their lives, sometimes with very unpleasant side effects.

There is still no way to cure AIDS, and at the moment the only way to remain safe is not to become infected.

Money

It can buy a House...............But not a Home
It can buy a Bed..................But not Sleep
It can buy a Clock................But not Time
It can buy you a Book..........But not knowledge
It can buy you a Position......But not Respect
It can buy you Medicine.......But not Health
It can buy you Blood............But not Life

So you see money isn't everything.
And it often causes pain and suffering.
I tell you all this because...........
I am your Friend, and as your Friend I want to take away your pain and
suffering..............

So send me all your money..........

and I will suffer for you.

Happy 24th Birthday To Me!!!

July 24, 2008

Sa nakalipas na dalawamput-tatlong taon napakaraming bagay ang nangyari sakin, may saya, lunkot, hirap, excitements at aral sa bawat pagkakamali kong nagawa. Sabi ko sa sarili ko mas mabuti na rin na habang bata pa ako ay mapahiya at masaktan upang mas maaga kung matutunan kung ano ang tama at mali lalong lalo na pagdating sa pakikitungo sa kapwa tao.

May mga mapapait din akong naging karanasan sa loob ng dalawamput-dalawang taon at masaya ako na maagang nangyari yun sa akin sapagkat itinuro nito sakin ang salitang " napala ".Nalaman kong bawat desisyon na aking gagawin ay may resulta depende kung ito ay tama o mali, desisyong dapat ay pinagiisipan at inaalam ang kahihinatnan.

Ang 24th birthday ko para sakin ay 22nd bithday palang dahilan sa ang dalawang taon ng ika-19 ko at ika-20 ay itinuturing kong paghinto ng aking buhay. Isang taon at mahigit na may karamdaman at kulang isang taon ng pagpapagaling. Ang dalawng taong iyon ay ang taong wala ako sa sarili.Gayunpaman masasabi ko pa ring itoy naging parte ng aking buhay, isa sa pinakamapait na karanasang aral ng pagkakamali na dapat kong matutunan

24th Birthday, ano nga ba ang buhay na naghihintay sakin ngayong ika-dalawamput-apat taong kaarawan ko. May mga sorpresa nga bang nakaabang sakin sa taong ito? May mga bagay ba akong bagong matutuklasan o may pangyayari kayang mahihirapan akong tanggapin?

Sa aking kaarawan wala akong ibang nais maganap kundi ang matupad ang mga pangarap kung, kung pwede nga lang as much as possible e instant or in a flash pero syempre kailangan may effort di ba? Kailangan pinagplaplanuhan at kailangan may vission for this ung bang tipong pinaghihirapan. Alam ko namang bago makukuha ang iosang bagay e kailangan mamuhunan ka ng hirap at pawis pero syempre wala namang bayad ang pangarap diba? Siguro this time ay kailangan ko nang magkaroon ng self desipline at self control after all sa dami ng pinagdaanan ko after 23 years di pa ba naman ako matututo. Pero syempre di natin masasabi yan depende na rin yan sa panahon at pagkakataon.

Well, Ang hiling ko nalang sa aking kaarawan ay hopefully puro magagandang surprises ang sumalubong sakin, maging pabor sakin ang takbo ng buhay at ikot ng mundo. Maging matagumpay sa mga bagay na aking nanaisin and to have more friends pa na darating.

Happy 24th birthday to me!!!!!!!!

* Sa mga nakakabasa po ng aking mga isnusulat dito sa aking Blog na dating "My Life, My World, My Blog...." at ngayon ay "Life's Existence" ang www.jaysondelemon.tk ay inaanyayahan ko po kayong magbigay ng inyong mga komento, suggestions, o reaksyon hinggil sa aking mga naisusulat , U can e-mail me at Nickjhaey@yahoo.com .

Madya Urulay Kita
By: Jayson de Lemon

Satuyang nganing girumdumun mga naka-agi,
Mga iri-istoryang satoyang mga binabase.
Mga naka-aging buhay na pirming sinasabi,
Pag-urulayan ta na ngunyan madya na digdi.

Bako bagang kaito kita nag-iribahan?
Bakin man ta ngunyan kita ay may tarampuhan?
Dikit na bagay man lang itong pinag-iwalan,
Bakin ta ngunyan dai pa ta rilingawan?

Madya ngani digdi ta mag-urulay na kita,
Satuya nang ayuson itong mga nagawa ta,
Sabihun si tama saka tanggapun si sala,
Madya na digdi magpatarawadan na kita.

Dai man kaulangan kita ay magsisihan,
Naka-agi, naka-agi sato nang lingawan,
Dai na hal'tong maaraman pa ning kadaklan
Nang dai na maglaba hanggang sa kahaluyan.

Uya na a kamot ko magkamayan na kita,
Patawadun mo ako, pinapatawad taka.
Si satuyang iribahan tara idagos ta,
Ining satuyang urulayan ngunyan tapos na!

Mr. Emerson de Lemon
"Kuya"

May mataas na pangarap, may ipagmamalaki, at may talino kakayahan at abilidad sa buhay.Graduate ng economics, nakapasa sa ibat-ibang pagsusulit pangpropesyonal.nagtrabaho at maagannatutong sumuporta sa sarili at tumulong sa pamilya.

Yan ang kuya ko!

Noong mga bata pa kami madalas hindi kami magkasundo dahilan sa syempre bawat isa sa amin ay may kanya-kanyang ugali na kontra bawat isa. Syempre sabi nga nila pare-parehong matatalino, pare-parehong magagaling, pare-parehong ayaw magpatalo kay pare-parehong napapalo! Sya ang pangana samin at ako naman ang pangalawa na pilit na naghahangad na mapantayan at malampasan sya ngunit batid kong hindi ko kaya dahilan sa di ko kayang magakto bilang pangalawang ama sa pamilya na tulad ng gingawa nya.

Lam nyo ba na nagpapasalamat ako sa kuya kong ito dahil isa sya sa nagsakripisyo sa akin noong ako ay nakaratay sa sakit?Alam ko na mahirap para sa kanya na itaya ang sahob niya mula sa kanyang pinagtratrabahuhan para lamang maipangsuporta sa gamot ko at iba pang pangangailangan.

Sayo Kuya, Maraming salamat!
Thanks God for my Kuya!

Buhay Palakaibigan

2007-08-06T04:54:00.000-07:00

Siguro para sa akin ako na yata ang pinakamaswerteng pinagpala pag dating sa kaibigan. Hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit kahit saan ako magpunta ay may mga tropa akong nakakasalamuha and eventually nagiging parte ako nito. Siguro dahil friendly ako o kaya'y talagang nakalaan na sila para sakin upang maging bahagi ng buhay ko, na amy makasama at maging masaya ang pakikitungo ko sa iba at syempre upang maramdaman ko rin ang ibat-ibang emosyon ng isang indibidwal sa paraan ng pakikisalamuha.

Bata palang ako ng makilala ko ang " BLUE BOYS JAMS BIBO ". Marami akming mga pinagdaanan na talagang hindi namin makakalimutan na hanggang ngayon ay nakatatak pa rin sa puso ng bawat isa sa amin ang aming samahan.

Sa pagtungtong ko ng elementarya nagkaroon ako ng tropa na binubuo ng mga kapwa ko mag-aaral. May mga tripings kami na talaga namang kasiya-siya. Paglipas ng apat na taon lumipat ako ng paaralang pinapasukan kasabay rin ng pagkahiwa-hiwalay ng tropa at tanging batian na lang ang nagaganap kapag nagkikita.

Sa paglipat ko ng paaralan noong ako ay nasa ika-limang baitang sa elementarya taong 1995-1996 sa Daet Elementary School ay panibagong tropa nanaman ang aking nakasalumuha at sa panahong din yun ay dun ko nakilala ang first love ko na talaga namang nagpasiya at nagpahirap sakin. Nagpasaya, dahil sa mura kong edad na sampu naramdaman ko ang salitang pag-ibig. Nagpahirap dahil hindi ko ito nasabi sa kanya na umabot na tatlong taon hanngang sa tuluyan na syang nawala sa puso ko.

Sa pagtungtong ko naman sa sekondarya sa unang taon taong 1997-1998 sa Moreno Integrated School ay nakilala ko naman ang tropang " JARMIC BENARD " na binubuo din ng mga kapwa ko mag-aaral na babae at lalaki.

Sa ikalawang taon ko naman sa sekondarya ay lumipat ako uli ng paaralan taong 1998-1999 sa " LADY OF PENAFRANCIA COLLEGE OF DAET ". Nakilala ko naman dito ang mga katropa ko na kapwa ko rin schoolmate. Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay nanligaw ako at first time ko ring mabasted!

Sa ikatlong taon ko naman sa sekondarya sa bagong paaralan ko taong 1999-2000 sa " CAMARINES NORTE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL " ay nakilala ko naman ang tropang " AYOS ". naranasan ko naman ang popularidad dahil daw sa pagiging _____ ko daw. Ako ay seksyon 3 noon. Sa taong din yun naranasan ko na ligawan ako ng babae, iniiyakan, pinagsasabihan ng problema at kung ano-ano pa upang ipakita ang pagiging close nila sakin.

Sa ika-apat na taon, taong 2000-2001 ay nalipat ako sa seksyon 2 sa nabanggit na paaralan din. Sa taong ito nakilala ko naman ang tropang " SIGNIFICANT OTHERS " na binubuo naman ng mga popular na studyante, mga dancers, beauty queen at mga panlaban ng paaralan. Dito ko natutunan ang ibat-ibang bisyo at sa kasmaang palad medyo naligaw ng landas ngunit hindi halata kasi maayos pa rin ang naging rekord ko sa paaralan at para sa akin isa ito sa naging pinakamakwentang pinagdaanan ko dahil mas naging mature ang pag-iisip ko at marami pang ibang nangyari sa buhay ko sa taong ito na talaga namang nagdevelop sa buo kong pagkatao.

Sa pag-apak ko naman sa kolehiyo buwan ng June -October 2001 unang semestre ay nakilala ko naman ang tropa ko na tinawag na LATAK, ito ay sa kadahilanang kami ay napabilang sa seksyon na sobra ng ibat-ibang kurso. Dito naman sa taong ito ay hiking ang trip namin.

Matapos ko ang unang semestre sa kolehiyo ay ipinasya ko munang huminto upang magtrabaho sa Jollibee dahilan na rin sa kakulangan ng mga magulang ko ng pera pantustos sa aking pag-aaral.

Buwan ng November 2001 - August 2002 ay nagtrabaho ako bilang service crew ( pantry station ) sa Jollibee. Doon ko naman natagpuan ang mga katropa ko na ang trip naman namin ay night-swimming.

Matapos ko sa Jollibee - Daet ay tumungo naman ako sa Baguio City kasama ang aking ina upang maghanap ng magandang buhay.

Taong 2003 - 2004 sa ikalawang semestre ko sa University of Baguio sa kursong Com - Scie ay nakilala ko naman ang mga tropa ko na panandalian lang dahilan sa pagka mis ko sa mga Bibo sa Daet.

October, 2004 nang kunin ako ni mama sa Bicol dahilan sa kritikal kong kundisyon. Umakyat sa utak ko ang impeksyon na syang naging dahilan ng pansamantala kong pagkabaliw.

November, 2004 - February, 2005 nang ako ay dalawang sunod na maconfine sa Baguio General Hospital.

Habang nagpapagaling at nagrerecover ako sa mga pangyayari, July 2005 hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay nakilala ko ang tropang TOLITS na talaga namang labis akong pinahanga sa kanilang samahan. May mabababaw na kasiyahan ngunit may mga malalalim na pinagdadaanan na ang tanging nagiging pansagip ay ang simpleng pagtitipon-tipon at simpleng halakhakan.

Sa lahat ng tropang pinagdaanan ko kung iraranking ko sila ay nangunguna ang BIBO dahilan sa sila ang pioneer na hanggang sa ngayon ay BIBO pa rin! Pangalawa ang SIGNIFICANT OTHERS dahilan naman sa tulad ng sinabi ko sila ang may pinakamalaking papel na nagdevelop sa akin upang maging ako sa ngayon. Pangatlo ay ang TOLITS na kahit hindi ko pa matagal na nakakasalamuha ay naramdaman ko na akung pano mapabilang sa kanila bilang mga katropa at sa katotohanan dahil dito ay sila rin ang bumangon sa akin mula sa pagkakalugmok sa pag-iisa.
Nang Lumipat kami sa purok 2 ng Zamora sa Baguio City isa nanamang tropa ang naging mga kaibigan ko sila ay binubuo nina Roger, Kenny, Venny, John atbp... Ok silang kasama at kasalamuha, Medyo mature at nageenjoy ako.

Hanggang sa ngayon ay marami pa rin akong nakikilalang ibat-ibang kaibigan na talaga siguro nakatalaga sa bawat mapatunguhan ko ngayon at sa mga susunod pang mga panahon.

Sa kabuuan, nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng naging kaibigan ko. Naipakita rito ang paghahambing ko sa bagay sa mundo na kailangan ng tao na kapag may lumipas, may darating at ang lumipas ay mananatili at ang darating ay lilipas at mananatili. GET'S NYO MGA KATROPA?!

Mr.Manuel de Lemon Jr.
"bunso"

Pinakabunso sa magkakapatid ngunit nauuna sa pagiging maabilidad sa pagiging madiskarte. Alam nyo ba na marami ng gamit sa bahay ang nasira ang aming bunsong kapatid? dahilan yan sa abilidad nya sa pagkutingting na nakikinita namin na magiging isang magaling na teknisyan sya balang araw.
Sa aming magkakapatid iyang si Emman naman ang hinahangaan ko sa kanyang pagiging masipag. Alm nyo kasi yang si emman ang gumagawa at nagtratrabaho sa loob ng bahay. Guess what? Tulad namin ni kuya ay may pagkapanuri din yan at talaga namang sinusubukan kung ano mang gusto nyang matuklasan.
Kaya hanga rin ako dyan sa bunso naming si emman, Mapanuri! (Kaya sira lahat ng kagamitan!)
Sa kasalukuyan nasa iaka apat na taon na sya ng mataas na paaralan ng sekondarya at syempre masipag naman at talagang nagaaral.
Emman, goodluck!

Thanks God for our Bunso!

Sunday Prayers

If at all times you remain hidden in Jesus Christ, you will see the truth of the words of Isaiah, which will be fulfilled in you: "With joy you will draw water from the wells of the Saviour", and also the words of the Gospel, which says: "Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again."

Morning

O God, you are my God,
for you I long;
for you my soul is thristing.
I long for you
like dry, weary land without water.
Give me your strength and your glory.

I wish to praise you all my life
fill my soul as with a banquet.
I cling to you;
hold me close in your hands.
Psalm 63

Glory to the Father. . .

Reading

Jesus said,

"Whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty;
no, the water I give shall become a fountain within him,
leaping up to provide eternal life."
The woman said to him, "Give me this water, sir,
so that I shall not grow thirsty...."
Jn 4:14-15

Intercessions

Blessed are you, Lord Jesus, Savior of the world,for giving your life to save us,
--by your precious blood we are saved.
You promised living waters to those who seek the truth,
--give us that water to quench our thirst.
You sent disciples to announce the Good News to all people,
--sustain those who proclaim your word.
To those who carry your cross today in anguish,
--grant patience and courage.

Evening

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose.
Beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me in right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil;
for you are at my side with your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Only goodness and kindess follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.
Psalm 23

Glory to the Father. . .

Reading

Jesus said.

"I am the good shepherd,
I know my sheep and my sheep know me
in the same way that the Father knows me
and I know my Father;
For these sheep I will give my life."
John 10:14-15

Intercessions

We bless you, Jesus Christ, our Shepherd,
for the life you have given us this day;
--we rejoice in your love.
Look with favor on the flock that bears your name;
--let no one the Father has give you perish.
Guide your church in the way of your Truth,
--by your Holy Spirit make her faithful.
Feed us at the table of your Word and your Bread
--that we may follow you forever.

Blue Boys Jams

Sa paraiso ng Baranggay Bagasbas isang tunay na pagkakaibigan ang nabuo buhat sa mga batang pinagtagpo ng tadhana upang magdamayan,magtulungan at magkaisa sa mga oras na kailangan nila ang isat-isa. Mga batang simple lang ang kaligayahan, ang makapaglaro sa piling na kanilang mga kaibigan. Karaniwan sa mga laro na talgang nagbigkis sa kanila ay ang larong basketball, laro na nagpakita ng pagkakaisa sa hangaring maipnalo nila ang team. Katulad ng tunay na buhay iisa ang hangarin ng bawat isa at yun ay ang magtagumpay, at syempre manalo man o matalo patuloy pa rin ang kasiyahan at pipiliting hindi makapaapekto sa kabiguan.

Ang pagtungo sa tabing dagat ay madalas ding pagpalipasan ng oras ng mga BIBO kung kayat hindi maikakaila na lahat sila ay may talento sa paglangoy. Madalas silang namimingwit ng isda at sumasakay sa bangka,ito ay karaniwang pinaglilibangan nila kapag sila ay nagkakayayaan.

Isa rin sa pinagtutuunan nila ng pansin ay ang pagalaga nila ng hayop lalong lalo na ang manok. Bawat isa sa kanila ay may sariling kulungan ng manok at manok na panlaban.

Sa pagdaan ng panahon kasabay ng pagpaalam nila sa kamusmusan at pagharap sa pagiging binata ay hindi pa rin nawawala ang pagsasaalang-alang nila sa kanilang pagkakaibigan, at syempre kahit sa paniningalang pugad ay magkakasama pa rin sila.

Sa isang relasyon lalo pat marami ang sangkot tulad ng Barkadahan ay hindi nawawala ang tampo, selos, at hinanakit. May hindi nagpapansinan at minsan may nagkakasakitan pero sa huli ay sila pa rin ang
nagdadamayan.

Sa ganda ng kanilang samahan marami ang nagtangkang makigrupo sa kanila, ang iba hindi naabot ang ugaling nais ng BIBO at ang iba naman ay nagtagumpay sa inaasahan ng BIBO.

Ang mga batang ito na bumubuo ng BLUE BOYS JARM BIBO ay sina:

JAYSON- Ang pinakamaliit pero matinik na kasapi sa grupo.Sensitibo sa mga bagay na dapat isa alang-alang ng bawat isa higit sa lahat ay kung makaksakit ng damdamin omagpapasaya. Kung kayat kilala siya bilang "matampuhin"

JONATHAN- tahimik ngunit magaling makisama, Mababaw ang pangarap ngunit batid nya na ito ay ikaliligaya nya.Athan sya kung tawagin

ARJAY- Lalaking simple na nangangarap na maging pulis.Walang kapatid at wala ring ama ngunit sa piling ng mga kaibigan at ina ay parang kumpleto na rin.

MARK- star palyer ng grupo, habulin ng chicks dahilan sa maayos ang personalidad.Pangarap nyang makapagabroad upang kumita at magkaroon ng magandang buhay pagdating ng panahon.

SAMUEL- Papasam kung tawagin sya ng nakararami.chickboy!pangarap din nyang maging isang pulis at sa ngayon ay halos abot kamay nya na ito.

ANTHONY,MARLO AT JERSON

Sila ang mga bagong kasali sa grupo na magagaling makisama at may magagandang mga ugali at higit sa lahat marunong dumamay sa mga problema na kinahaharap ng BIBO. tulad nina jayson,athan,mark,arjay,at papasam sila ay may mga ugaling BIBO din naman kung kayat hindi sila mahirap maging kaibigan.

Sa kaslukuyan, ang pagkakaibigan ng BIBO ay unti-unti nang nagkakawatak-watak dahilan sa dumating na ang araw na kailangan na nilang harapin ang buhay bilang isang responsableng indibidwal.

Nagkawatak-watak man ang BIBO ay hidi pa rin mawawala ang alala ng pagkakaibigan at syempre mananatili pa rin itong buhay sa pusot isipan ng bawat isa. Kasabay ng pagharap sa mga pangarap ay ang paggunita sa samahan. Pasasaan bat sila-sila rin ang magkikita sa final.

BIBO!

Mr.Manuel de Lemon Sr.

Batid ng lahat ng nakakakilala sa papa ko ang kanyang likas na pagiging mabait, mapagmahal at marunong makipagkapwa.

Isang mabuting ama ang papa ko batid ko dahil hindi man nya masabi sa amin ang pagmamahal nya sa amin ay kanya namang ipinakikita at ipinararamdam ito.

Ang papa ko ay mas madali kong maididiscribe bilang isang tahimik at hindi makasalita ngunit malalim kung susumahin. May mabuting kalooban at pagmamahal sa pamilya.

Sa kasalukuyan, dahilan upang ipakita ang pagiging responsableng padre de pamilya kahit na may dinaramdam sa kanyang kalusugan ay pilit pa ring kumakayod bilang operator ng isang printing press.

Thanks God for my Papa!

Mrs. Erlinda de Lemon
"World's Greatest Mom"

Pinakamahalagang babae sa buhay ng apat na lalakeng de lemon.Di matatawaran ang pagiging isang responsableng ina "mother of all times" ika nga.Huwarang ina na handang itaya ang buhay alang alng sa pamilya.Babaeng matatag at hindi matitinag laban sa maga problema.Taong may pananalig sa Diyos at may pagmamahal sa kapwa.

Sa katotohanan isa sa pinakamahalagang tao sakin ay ang aking ina, ina na nagbigay ng buhay at bumuo ng aking pagkatao sa pamamagitan ng pagaruga sakin mula ng akoy ipinanganak nagkaisip at nagkaroon ng pakapak.Ina na nagpaunawa ng tunay na kahulugan ng buhay na ang buhay ay hindi puro pasarap kundi kailangan din ng sakripisyo upang matugunan ang panganga ilangan sa buhay man o sa kaligayahan.

Madalas niyang sabihin na hinding hindi ko makakalimutan ay ang mga katagang " Totoy, lahat ng hirap na dinadaanan ko ay para sa inyo, para makaahon, makapagaral, magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan, at mabigyan kayo ng magandang buhay." Sa mga katagang yan labis nyang ipinaramdam sa amin ang kanyang pagmamahal bilang ina, ang pagiging responsable higit pa sa inaasahan naming mga anak.

Si mama ay masasabi ko ring larawan ng isang babaeng matapang na handang ipaglaban ang kanyang pamilya. Noong bata pa ako ilan sa mga naalala ko ay ang pagtatanggol nya samin laban sa mga nangaapi sa amin, sa paaralan, kapitbahay at sa mga taong nasa paligid. Hindi niya hinahayaang masaktan ni isa man sa amin.

Si mama rin ang masasabi kong may mababaw ngunit may malalim na kaligayahan.Isa sa mga halimbawa nito ay ang kaligayahan nya sa mga oras na nakakatanggap kami na karangalan. Kung sabagay ito nga lang naman ang pinaka mahalagang maaari naming maipagkaloob sa kanyang " Karangalan".

Sa kabuuan, kung susumahin si Mrs. Erlinda de Lemon na aking ina para sa akin ay larawan ng isang perpektong ina na maari kong ipagmalaki bilang isang "Mother of all Season"

Sa kasalukuyan, upang patuloy pa ring matugunan ang pangangailangan ng pamilya, si Mama ay masipag na nagtitinda ng isda sa palengke dito sa Baguio. Nagtitindda rin sya ng kakanin bilang sideline upang upang may pangkunan ng iba pang gastusin.

Lahat ng itoy matatag nyang ginagawa para sa amin, Lalo na sa aking kalagayan na labis kong ipinasasalamat dahil isa siya sa nagbigay at nagdudugtong sa buhay ko at patuloy na inaalalayan upang makabangon ako at magpatuloy sa aking buhay.

Thanks God for my Mom!

Bakasyon 2006

2006-05-20T07:16:00.000-07:00

Ang araw at pagkakataong hinihintay ko na maganap sa buhay ko matapos ng mga nangyari sa akin. " Ang Bakasyon!"

Katapusan ng April ng gabi nang ipinasya ko na byumahe patungong Bicol dala ang kakaibang damdamin at exitement na magbakasyon at bumalik sa aking sariling lugar na kung saan doon ako lumaki at nagkaisip.

Habang sakay ako ng bus hindi maiwasang isipin at itanong sa aking sarili kung ano nga bang magiging reaksyon ng mga taga samin lalong-lalo na ng mga kaibigan ko lalona't noong umalis ako run one and a half year ago ay wala na akong pag-asang mabuhay dahil nga sa kalagayan ko noon na karamihan sa kanila ay inaakalang patay na ako.

1 o'clock in the afternoon ay sa wakas nakarating na rin ako sa Daet, Camarines Norte. Sinundo ako ng pinsan ko na si marvin gamit ang kanyang bagong motor. Pagdating na pagdating namin sa bahay, tulad ng inaaasahan ko ay maraming namangha, nangumusta at nagalak sa aking pagdating. Halos panay ang pasasalamat nila sa Diyos dahil nga nakaligtas ako.

Yan ang umpisa ng aking " BAKASYON ".......

April 01 - 07 :

Unang Linggo palang ng aking bakasyon marami na kaagad ang naganap . Ipinamalas at ipinaramdam sa akin ng mga tagaroon ang napakaayos at napakabuting pagtanggap. Halos wala na nga akong mapaglagyan ng pagkain sa tiyan dahil bawat bahay na mapasukan ko ay puro pagkain ang inaalok at isa ito sa napakahirap tanggihan. Masaya sa amin sa Bicol, kung kayat isa ito sa hinahanaphanap ko.

Gamit ang mga motorbikes ng mga kaibigan ko, ipinasyal nila ako sa ibat-ibang magagandang lugar sa amin Sa Daet, Camarines Norte specially sa BAGASBAS BEACH RESORT. Ikwenekwento nila sakin ang ibat-ibang mga magagandang pangyayari habang wala ako. Ipinaramdam nila halos ang kanilang pagkamis sakin na talaga namang naramdaman ko.

Sa Ikatlong araw ng aking bakasyon ay biglang bumuo ang mga kaibigan ko ng plano ng magkaroon kami ng picnic na naganap sa mismong araw ding yun. Nagluto sila ng Laing na paboritong lutuin sa Bicol dahil sa sarap nito na niluto sa gata na medyo may kaanghangan, Nag-ihaw ng malakingb isda na hinuli sa dagat ng tatay ng isa sa mga kaibigan ko at bumili ng konting alak . Ang Picnic na iyon ay naganap sa isa sa pinagmamalaking resort sa camarines norte dahil sa pagkanatural nito at sa sarap ng tubig sa paliligo. Ito ay ang MAMPUROG RESORT. Ang lahat ay nagenjoy ng araw na iyon, kaya isa ito sa di ko malilimutang pangyayari.

Dahilan sa nalalapit na FIESTA sa aming Barangay ay nagkaroon ng ibat-ibang aktibidades na taunang nagaganap bilang parte ng kafiestahan. Isa na rito ay ang paliga ng Basketball, Beauty Pageant, Atbp. Sa Larong basketball, ay nakilahok ang aming barkadahan at bumuo ng team. Gabi-gabi ay pumupunta kami sa sentro ng aming barangay, malapit sa Beach, perya at basketball court.

Sa Loob ng unang linggong lumipas sa aking bakasyon ay masasabi kong nagenjoy akong masyado.

April 08 - 15 :

Sa aking ikalawang Linggo - Ang linggo ng MAHAL NA ARAW. Bagaman ito ay araw ng Sakripisyo ni JESUS, Hindi makikita ang lungkot sa mukha ng mga taong tagarito bagkus mukha ng pasasalamat ang nakalarawan sa klanila. nanood kami ng mg pinitensya at prosesyon, nakidalamhati at nakidasal.

Alam nyo ba na nung Mahal na Araw ay nagsipagdagsaan ang mga turista sa Beach? Oo! Parang Boracay ang Bagasbas Beach Hindi lang sa ganda at lawak nito , sa taas ng alon, Kundi pati na rin sa dami ng mga taong dumadagsa rito mula umaga hanggang gabi. Taas noo kong ipinagmamalaki ang aming lugar! ang BAGASBAS!

April 16 - 22 :

EASTHER SUNDAY ! Ang sumalubong sa akin sa aking ikatlong Linggo ng Bakasyon. madaling araw habang natutulog ako ay parang nasa palengke sa ingay ng mga tao na nasa labas, Hindi ko alam kung sa anong kadahilanan, lumabas ako saglit upang makita kung anong nangyayari at natuklasan ko na sabik na sabik ang mga pamilyang patungo sa simbahan upang magsimba at panoorin ang pagbaba ng anghel mula sa langit na taunang isinasadula kada Linggo ng Pagkabuhay bilang paggunita sa muling pagkabuhay Ni JESUS.

Sa araw ding yun ika-anim ng umaga ay niyaya ako ng mga kaibigan ko na maligo at mamasyal sa beach. Napakaraming tao roon, marming palaro tulad ng Easther egg hunting, palarong bayan atbp. Ang Linngo ng Pagkabuhay ay naging napakakulay at punong-puno ng kasiyahan.

Ika-syam ng umaga sa arw ding iyon ay sumama ako sa papa ko para naman dumalo sa aming FAMILY REUNION sa LOPEZ - SALVATION FAMILY. Doon ay nagtipon-tipon ang malalayo naming pamilya na halos di namin kilala at sa pamamagitan ng reunion ay nagkakilanlan kami at doon natuklasan ko na sa edad ko ng 21 ay lolo na pala ako sa pinsan.Anyway narito po ang mga lolo at lola na pinagmulan ng aming pamilya mula sa angkan ng LOPEZ. Mula sa walong magkakapatid na Lopez: 1.) Maximo Lopez 2.) Pablo Lopez 3.) Feliciana Lopez - Salvation ( ang aming pinagmulang Lolo at Lola ) 4.) Arsenio Lopez 5.) Rosalio Lopez 6.) Ramon Lopez 7.) Clemente Lopez 8.) Thomas Lopez.

Ang araw ng pagkabuhay ay isa sa mga araw na pumuno ng schedule ko sa araw-araw at hindi pa run natapos ang araw na pinagenjoyan ko, nung araw na iyo ay nag ipon-ipon pa kami ng iba kung pinsan From Hawaii, namasyal sa beach, pumasok sa beerhauz at nag videoke.

Ang ibang araw sa loob ng April 17 - 26 ay naging karaniwan nalang ang pamamasyal, panonood ng basketball, perya atbp. Umattend di ako sa kasalan ng pinsan ko noong April 19, 2006 Na isa rin sa hinahanap-hanap ko sa Bicol lalo na kapag sumasayaw ng PANTOMINA ang bagong kasal bilang simbolo ng pagtulong nila sa isat-isa upang mabuhay ang kanilang pamilya. Normally, this is danced during village fiestas and other social occasions, such as weddings, baptisms, birthdays, betrothals, etc., in barangay halls, the hosts sala, or more often than not, in the open air, either in fenced-off open spaces in the barangay, basketball courts, or a portion of the yard of the host. Masaya at ramdam mo ang pagiging bicolano kapag narinig mo ang kantang sinasayaw para sa pantomina.

April 23 - 30 :

Ika - apat na Liggo!

Puyat ako ng 23 ng umaga dahil nagvideoke ako ng 8 PM - 12 AM sa Beach at 1 AM - 3 PM ay nagdisco naman ako sa naganap na presentation ng mga official candidate for MR and MS BAGASBAS. Dahilan nga sa nagkaroon akong bady clock na gumising ako ng 6 ng umaga ay inorpresa naman ako ng ilang sunod-sunod na pagbati sa love radio fm sa radio mula sa mga kaibigan ko at nung araw ding yun ay naalala ko na ang araw palang iyon APRIL 24, ay ang ika-9 na Taong anniversaryo ng aming barkadahan ang BLUE BOYS JAMS " BIBO ".

April 24, 2006 - 9th Year Anniversary of Blue Boys Jams! Isang ordinaryong araw ngunit special at makahulugan para sa amin at mga kaibigan ko.

Konting Salo-salo, inuman, kantahan at kung ano-ano pang kasiyahan.Natapos ang celebration ng bandang 4:30 ng umaga.

Ang araw ng fiestang iyon ang isa sa pinakamagandang araw ng pag-stay ko sa Bagasbas, at sa dami ng kaibigan ko halos malito ako kung saan pupunta, lalo pat special na panauhin ako para sa kanila. Kinagabihan As usual sayawan grande! Halos di ko na alam ang ginagawa ko sa sobra kong kalasingan dahilan nga sa di ako makatanggi ganunpaman sumayaw pa rin ako hanggang sa matagpuan ko na lang ang sarili ko na tulog sa aking higaan na talagang di ko malaman kung paano akong nakauwi.

May 1-15 :

Ang huling Dalawang Linngo ng Aking Bakasyon.......

Tulad ng nakasanayan ng mga taga samin, ang kinabukasan matapos ang Fiesta ay Picnic ang nagaganap. Iabat-ibang grupo ang nagtitipon-tipon, may barkadahan, pamilyahan o di kaya'y reunion ng mga batch ng elementary samin. Ibat-ibang lugar na pagpipicnican din pinupuntahan ng ibat-ibang grupo, Sa dami ba naman ng paliguan samin na talaga namang napakasarap paliguan. May chicken island ( white sand Beach ), Sinag - Tala Resort, Bagasbas Beach resort, Mampurog Resort, Mananap Resort, Pineapple Island Resort, Little Tagaytay, at marami pang iba. Sumama ako sa grupo ng aming barkadahan at syempre sa mampurog kami pumunta kasi halos karamihan ng tagarun sa may parte samin ay doon pumunta. Masaya kami kasi kahit iba-iba ang cottage namin ay nagshare share kami ng pagkain. Sa Mampurog Resort ay marami din namang videokehan kaya naman di ko napigilan ang bumirit hilig ko kasi ang kumanta. Kinabukasan siula May 2 ay Back to normal sa aming Barangay, wala nang fiestahan, palaro, at uwian na rin ng mga bakasyunista. Medyo lumungkot, pero alam nyo bang hindi ito hinayaang mangyari ng mga kaibigan ko na maging malungkot.Lagi pa rin kaming may mga gimmiks at trippings at ang pinakapahinga namin ay ang maglaro ng tong-its at magluto ng kung ano-ano para pang snacks namin.Saka kahit wala nang fiesta ay halos gabi-gabi pa rin ang sayawan dahilan sa marami pa ring okasyon tulad ng birthday at kasalan.

Araw- araw ng huling Lingo ng aking bakasyon ay talagang masaya parinhanggan sa dumating ang araw ng kaarawan ng kaibigan ko na si Arjay nung May 14. Tulad ng nakasanayan idiniwang namin ito, nagluto, nagkainan, naginuman, nagkantahan at kung ano-ano pa. Talaga namang napakasaya ng okasyong iyon tulad ng okasyong dinatnan ko nung april 2 na graduation ni samuel.

After 3 days nagpasya na akong bumalik ng Baguio pati ang mga kaibigan ko ay bumalik na rin sa kanikanilang mga trabaho sa manila.Kasama ko si athan na byumahe sa bus patungong Cubao at si Samuel naman ay nasalubong namin sa parteng Lucena at sumama sa akin patungong Baguio para naman amkapagbakasyon.

Isa sa pinakamagandang nangyari sa buhay ko ang ang mabuhay sa piling ng Dyos. Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya sa pagbigay nya sa akin ng kumpletong buhay kapiling ang aking mga magulang, kapatid at kaibigan. Sa aking paglaki at pagharap sa buhay na inaakala ko nung una ay simple lang,maraming mga bagay ang aking naunawaan at naramdaman sa kabila ng mga pagsubok at problemang dumating. Humahanga ako sa mga magulang ko dahil sa bagaman sila ay nasa gitna ng hirap at pagdurusa na humaharap sa hirap ng mundo ay hindi nila nakakalimutan ang Dyos kung kayat nalalampasan nila ito. Tama blessing nga ito sa kanila!pinanganak kaming magkakapatid na kilala ang Dyos ngunit dahilan sa tukso ng kadiliman at kapaligiran hindi naiwasan ng bawat isa sa amin ang magkasala.

Sa aking pagharap sa buhay, dumaan ako sa maraming lugar ng buhay na kung saan nalaman ko kung ano ang mabuti at masama.naging marupok ako at nagpaanod sa agos ng kasalanan, kung kaya't dinanas ko ang matinding hirap na sa palagay ko ay nararapat lang sa akin. Natuto ako!

Andami kong pinagdaanan na aking sinunggab kahit alam kong itoy mali basta malaman ko lang at maranasan kung paano ito nangyayari. Di ba sabi nila bago mo malaman ang isang bagay at maunawan ay kailangan mo itong maranasan. Pero mali pala ako roon!kailangan pala pag alam mo nang mali wag mo nang gawin,pero sabi ko mathrill e! Pero ano nga ba ang kinahinatnan ko?masasabi ko bang matril ang ganitong bagay?

Highschool ako noon nang maranasan ko ang pagiging rebelde sa buhay. Dahilan sa kakulangan ko sa pangunawa tungkol sa kinakaharap kong buhay noon sinubukan ko lahat ng di nararapat para sa isang kabataang tulad ko. Natutunan kong magbisyo,magsugal at marami pang iba masasamang gawain. Gayunpaman hindi naman ako naging ganun kasama. Matagal ko ginawang hobby ang mga ganung bagay hanggang sa dumating ang pagkakataong hindi na ko sumusunod sa sinasabi ng magulang ko at nakatatanda sakin. Hindi ako nawalan ng magandang asal at naroon pa rin naman ang paggalang ko ngunit mapapatunayan ko pa ba naman yun gayong pasama na ang landas na tinatahak ko? Pero kahit na natutunan ko ang mga bagay na di maganda pinilit ko pa ring maging responsable. Natapos ko pagaaral ko sa highschool, nagtrabaho ako bilang service crew sa jollibee at nagaral ako sa AMA college at UB college d2 sa baguio. Bagaman naging responsable ako sa gayong paraan nakalimutan ko na naging iresponsable ako sa pagsunod sa utos ng Dyos. Inisip ko na walang mali sa ginagawa ko hanggang sa dumating ang araw na tinalaban ako ng sakit na sa buong buhay ko di ko malilimutan, ang pagkapilay ng aking kanang paa. Sa una ininda ko ito dahilan sa wala na akong kinatatakutan, pinagpatuloy ko pa rin ang mga hindi magagandang bagay. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na umakyat ang impeksyon sa aking ulo at nawala ako sa aking sarili. Tinakasan ko pa nun ang mama ko na mula Baguio ay umuwi ako sa bicol upang magawa ang gusto ko, at hindi ko na alam na wala na ako sa sarili kong katinuan. Ang pinagtataka ko batay sa mga kaibigan ko matino naman daw ako ng mga panahong yun. Marami silang patunay na ginawa ko raw."alam kong hindi ako yun!" sabi ko sa sarili ko. Natulog ako ng mahabang panahon na parang pinaalam sakin ang napakarami kong pagkakamali at may pumalit na kung sino sa aking katawan.dumating araw na ilang oras na lang ang binibilang ng aking buhay. Thanks God dahil pinaalala ng Dyos sa mama ko ang aking kalagayan. Dumating ang mama ko sa bicol dala ang pagasang masasagip nya ako mula sa bingit ng kamatayan. Nadatnan nya ako na halos wala ng buhay, agad nya akong ibyenahe mula sa bicol patungong Baguio. Halos labingwalong oras ang byahe. Dumating sila sa Baguio General Hospital na talagang halos patay na ako at sabi nila ay commatos daw. Hindi raw agad ako inasikaso ng mga doctor dahil sa kasalukuyan daw na busy daw sila sa operasyon ng ibang pasyente. Inabot ng humigit kumulang anim na oras ay inasikaso din ako kaagad at dinala sa operating room. Iyak ng Iyak ang mama ko lalo na ng malaman na patay na ako. Anlaking problema ng kinaharap ng mama ko ng mga oras na yun lalo na sa pangfinansyal na problema. Iniisip nya kung paano maiuuwi ang bangkay ko sa bicol. Dumating ang mga alagad ng Dyos na sina Pastora fennie, ipinagdasal nila ako at isang himala na alam kong ibinigay sakin ng Dyos ang naganap, nabuhay ako at isinailalim sa operasyon. Pinutol ang buto na infected sa paa ko at pinalitan ng buto na nanggaling sa tagiliran ko. Kinabukasan naging maganda ang daloy ng buhay ko bagaman naharap si mama sa matinding hirap sa pagbayad ng mga kailangan ko sa ospital. Sabi ng mama ko ilang araw na 3000 pesos a day daw ang hinahanap nya para lang masuportahan nya ang gamot ko. Ilang araw matapos ang operasyon ko ay halos nagkaroon ako ng amnesia dahilan sa wala akong maalala ng mga oras na yun. Maraming nagpatotoo sakin na ang nangyari sa aking yun ay isang himala at ito raw ay ibinigay ng Dyos sa akin bilang pangalawang buhay para magbago. Lumipas ang mga araw inilabas ako sa ospital, isang batang walang muang ang lumarawan sa akin. Dinadalaw ako ng madalas nina Kuya James at kanyang mga kapatiran. Nagpapasalamat ako sa Dyos na bagaman dinanas ko ang ganung experiensya ay hindi nya ito pinadama sakin. Napakabait ng Dyos sa akin! Maraming salamat o Panginoon!

Sa ngayon narito ako at pinagpapatuloy ang buhay,muling itinutuwid ang mga pagkakamali na aking nagawa kapiling ang aking pamilya at mga kaibigan. Aaminin ko na minsan marupok ako sa mga pagsubok ngunit sa ngalan ng Dyos patuloy akong lumalaban at tumatanggap ng gantimpala sa pamamagitan ng pagmamahal ng aking kapwa at pagbigay ng pangangailangan namin sa aming buhay. THANKS GOD!

Baguio City Market

2005-02-06T04:50:00.000-08:00

It always seems to be a must for visitors from the lowland areas to visit the Baguio Public Market before leaving the city. The market is located right at the lower end of Session Road and behind the Maharlika Livelihood Center. It is here where different souvenirs typical of Baguio are found. There are also numerous other products and handicrafts sold at the Baguio public market which are brought in from other nearby provinces.

A wide variety of items are available such as fresh vegetables, strawberry jam, peanut brittle, dried tobacco, an assortment of fresh flowers, meat, Baguio sausages, fish, poultry, fruits, clothes and clothing material. You will also find native products and handicraft such as baskets, brooms, bags, brass, blankets & sweaters, woodcarving, and locally made jewelry. Fresh and sweet strawberries from nearby La Trinidad are sold at the market but these are available only on certain months of the year. From the province of Pangasinan, "bucayo" (coconut candy) and "bagoong" (salted fish or shrimp) may also be purchased.

During a recent visit to Baguio City, I spent a late afternoon going through the different sections of the public market ... looking around, observing the vendors and also the people who came to do their marketing. I just wanted to see what the market was like since my last visit over a year ago. Having been a former resident of the city for almost 25 years, I have always enjoyed accompanying my wife Nena to the market when she would find a need to buy some food items we needed at home. We would do this chore at least once a week and usually on weekends.

The market has always been a fascinating sight with a beehive of activities going on and a place to just observe people as they go about their daily lives. Nothing much has really changed within the market. It still looked the same to me. And knowing that I would chance upon some familiar and interesting scenes at the market, I brought along my digital camera just to be sure that I would be able to record what I would see. And indeed, I took a number of photographs and would like to share what I saw. I hope you will enjoy looking at the photographs shown below.

Camarines Norte

2005-01-09T06:47:00.001-08:00

A generally rugged province with rolling hills, mountains, fertile plains and small valleys dotting the coastal portions. Camarines Norte is in fact the northern half of what used to be Ambos Camarines province. The boundaries of this province are in the southwest Quezon province, in the north and northeast the Pacific Ocean, and in the southeast Camarines Sur. With a land area of just over 2000 it is a rather small province, its southern neighbor Camarines Sur is more than twice its size. Population density is 185 /sq. kms. Which makes it a rather sparsely populated province. The largest town is Labo with hardly 70,000 inhabitants. Second largest is provincial capital Daet, with 65,000 inhabitants. The economy of Camarines Norte is based on agriculture and fishing. Most of the farming in the province is of subsistence type. There is some commercial farming with abaca and camotes as major cash crops. The seaside town of Mercedes just 7 kms from Daet is one of the most prosperous fishing communities in the country. Most of the fish and shrimps sold in Pangasinan -- fresh or salted - come from Mercedes. There is hardly any industry except for gold and iron mining. It was actually the discovery of rich gold bearing quartz veins, in the area of the small town of Paracale, about 30 km. northwest of Daet, that triggered interest of the late 16th century Spanish settlers. There were excellent hardwoods to be found here as well, quite suitable for the building of Spanish galleons. Today there is little hardwood left. Larap Peninsula, some 45 kms. northwest of Daet, is one of the few places in the Philippines with good quality iron ore deposits. Camarines Norte still houses large communities of local Negrito tribes. They are particularly concentrated in the foothills of Mount Cadig, some 80 kms. west of Daet.
