Balanga eyes P500-M scholarship fund

2011-12-27T01:34:00.000-08:00

BALANGA CITY, Bataan — In another laudable step towards boosting its education program for the poor, Mayor Joet S. Garcia has revealed that his administration will raise P500-million for the Balanga City University Foundation.

The new revelation on scholarship program of Mayor Garcia drew applause from the jampacked Lou-is restaurant where the employees of the provincial capitol were celebrating their Christmas program.

This is the first time an education program for poor but deserving students was launched in Balanga and comes at a time when tuition fees and other school expenditures are rising uncontrollably.

An information technology expert and former professor before joining local politics, Garcia pointed out that they will target to raise the P500 million in the next five years even as he appealed to Good Samaritans, business sectors and other individuals to help them raise the amount for the sake of the poor students of Bataan.

The young mayor is a son of Gov. Enrique “Tet” Garcia and younger brother of Bataan 2nd district Rep. Abet S. Garcia who have expressed all-out support for the scholarship program.

So far, Mayor Garcia said Balanga spends at least P12-million yearly for its scholarship program while the provincial government and Representative Garcia also provide P72-million yearly for the program.

Under the scheme, Mayor Garcia pointed out the amount raised for the foundation and the scholarship program will be invested in a trust fund to enable it to earn more for the benefit of more scholars.

“We are expecting that the fund will earn more or less P50 million a year, then the amount borrowed from sponsors will in turn be also returned to them after 10 years,” said Mayor Garcia.

“Maraming generous individual at businessmen na gustong tumulong sa ating scholarship program dahil alam rin nila na para ito sa mga mahihirap na gustong mag-aral na bata,” said Garcia.

Mayor Garcia was also the architect for the successful establishment of the recently opened Galeria Victoria Mall, the biggest commercial establishment put up in Balanga.

The Mall was put up by businessman and construction magnate Jerry Acuzar, a native of this city, through the Public Private Partnership program of the government.

Mayor Garcia said the city spent nothing on the Mall but will earn millions of pesos in rentals.

Meanwhile, when Governor Enrique “Tet” Garcia started initiating various improvements and upgrading efforts in the once neglected Bataan General Hospital (BGH), critics started looking for loopholes in the initiatives.

However, this did not prevent Governor Garcia from pursuing the improvements of BGH in the interest of the public service.

“The problem with our political opponents is that every time I introduced upgrading and other forms of improvement in the BGH in our bid to further serve the patients, our critics will always hit us back simply because this (efforts of mine) will further add to our political stock while their (political foes) will also certainly wane,” said Garcia.

Garcia said he will continue to seek improvements for the BGH in the face of criticism to help the public, particularly badly sick patients.

During a recent meeting between the governor and the personnel of the government-owned BGH, it was agreed that the head of BGH, Dr. Ria Baltazar, is incorruptible and a determined worker when it comes to helping patients, but is severely hampered by the deeply divided politics of its employees.

BGH doctors, nurses, and office staff have all signified to work for unity and the interest of hospital patients and the general public..

“We have to wake up not for our own interest but for the public good,” Garcia told the personnel.

The governor’s remarks came after a doctor was accused of allegedly “pirating” patients here and forcibly bringing them to her own private hospital where she can charge them with exorbitant professional fees, among others.

“Sinasabi nila, politika lang daw pag may nagagawa tayong mabuti. Natural lalakas ang political stock natin, samantalang ang mga kalaban natin ay wala; nasasagasaan at insecured nga sila,” said Garcia whose speech was several times disrupted by applause from the personnel. (Mar T. Supnad)

2011-06-04T05:44:00.000-07:00

To witness this kind of scenario over the train is not new to me. Once again, just recently a new eye popping Filipino couple are kissing intimately onboard at SMRT. I was so pissed and being destructed to see people making out in public.

Ok let's give them a break! let say you can't take it anymore but where the heck on earth you can see such things that couple are doing this in public transport. OMG! Asan na ang sinasabing Maria Clara? I believe that they are not couple they are more likely to me a lovers! A lovers that has their own family wayback in the Philippines!

Come'n You are not teenager to do that intimacy in public! For god sake give yourself a damn face...

I have no idea what are on their mind, are they really in love with each other or it is just a leisure and lust!

I don't give any care to what this guys are doing but hello! There are CHILDREN or underage on board, be a role model pls!

It is not good to hear from other races na pinagtatawanan nila ang ibang Pinoy here in abroad, pero paano natin masisisi kung ganyan ang ipinapakita natin in public!

From the way i look at them, they are not couple! What's your POV guys.... wanna share some thoughts?

A walk to remember - Ang luma kong tsinelas

2011-04-02T22:01:00.000-07:00

Malayo man daw ang marating, babalik at babalik ka rin!

Mahaba haba na rin ang serbisyo sa akin ng kasangga ko na to. More or less 3 years na rin nya akong hinatid sa mga destinasyon ng aking buhay.

Kahit sa huling sandali ng kanyang serbisyo sa akin sinigurado nya parin na makararating ako ng maayos sa aking pupuntahan. Mahaba habang biyahe ang aming nilakbay. Sakay, lakad, sakay at lakad yan ang aming naging routine sa tuwing kami'y magkasama.

Tandang tanda ko pa nung unang lumapat ang aking mga paa sa kanyang apakan at kahit medyo may kaluwagan ng kaunti naramdaman kong komportable ako sa kanyang lambot at tibay. Ilang bagyo na rin ang aming nalampasan, at ilang matinding takbuhan at lakaran na rin ang aming pinagdaanan.

Nanatiling matibay at matatag ang aking kasangga, kaya naman sa tuwing may pagkakataon hinahayaan ko lang syang magpahinga.

Salamat kasangga ko, sa tatlong taong paninilbihan bilang panlaban ko sa init ng lupa at basang lansangan. Sa bawat araw na suot kita sa aking mga paa alam kong ako'y nasa mabuting daan.

Ngayong ako'y iniwan mo na mananatili kang magandang alaala sa akin salamat sa matapat mong serbisyo sa akin.

Travelling back

2011-03-30T01:14:00.000-07:00

After a 3 day overseas work in Malaysia, finally my bags are all packed and waiting for my flight to Singapore.

Taking a flight AK0715 of Air Asia your dear blogger will be seated at 15C respectively. A short journey will take me to Singapore with a positive result of my work. Within my stay in Malaysia i can say that there's a lot of new things that we need to learn from. And new experience and exposure will gives you an additional growth within our personality.

Working under the heat of the sun, i personally experience how difficult it is. Now i know that those people working in a construction site, laborer and work alike will not be judged according to their type of work.

I can say that my trip to Malaysia is a very good experience not only for my personal working experience but the additional growth on my personality.

Dealing with other people is one of the most important thing that i learned. Not limited from communicating to people that i don't even know their names up to speaking their local dialects just to get along with them.

One more important thing that i learned from that trip is additional confidence; A confidence that i acquired during my stay away from my homeland and working ground.

I can say that this is a very memorable experience to me, not just because i learned a lot of new things but because this is the first time i work overseas alone.

I will go back to Singapore with a positive result and i am proud to say that my overseas trip is consider a JOB WELL DONE!

Tortugas Bridge Finally done, but still....

2010-10-16T22:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, the title says it all! Tortugas bridge was finally done and open for public after an almost a year of re-construction! And of course it will not be happen without the help of the local government of the City of Balanga.

The inauguration of the said bridge was held on 25th of September 2010 lead by the Governor of Bataan Hon. Tet Garcia and Mayor Joet Garcia together with the City Councilor of Balanga.

It is such a big help to all the residents of Barangay Tortugas especially to all those "Biyaheros" - the person who delivers "Bagoong" to other places and to those who used this bridge as a main source of transportation to cross over to the other barrio and to those who used this bridge for their businesses.

But there's one thing that I've observe on that bridge. The fact that this bridge is too slope for the motorist and i have a doubt that not all motorist will easily drive through this bridge, and i proved it correct!

Motorists are struggling to drive up to the bridge, especially those who drive an old motorcycles and those who are riding a bicycles like the one in the picture. Imagine how the lady struggle to drive to that bridge? And she still needs to go down and push her bicycle instead.

I hope that the city government of balanga and the local government of tortugas do something to eliminate or even ease or lessen the difficulties of the driver who used that bridge as a main source of transportation.

Nevertheless, this step by the local and city government shows that they are willing to help the people of the city and the people living in the barrios by providing them a service that will benefits the residents and the people going to Barangay Tortugas. Since the bridge was already open, expect the visitors of Tortugas Baypark to boom and to increased as per normal.

I know that in the end of the day, if the city government tried to re-construct the bridge and make it slightly lower from the main road it would be better for all the travelers who wants to travel in and out from the beautiful barrio of Tortugas.

When bolero meets sexyemotera!

2010-09-29T18:41:00.000-07:00

"Some people comes into our lives and they quickly go.
Some people stay for awhile and leave footprints into our hearts
But, we are not like them! Cos we are FOREVER"

It was a cold day of the month of August 2001 nang unang mag krus ang landas ng isang bolero at isang emotera.

"O sino nagpa-iyak sayo" yan ang una kong bati sa kanya, sabay tawa kasama ng bestfriend ko na si jepoy. Hindi ko akalain na ang pagtatanong ko na yun ang simula ng napakakulay kong buhay sa eskwela.

Wala siyang ibinigay na sagot sa akin sa tanong na yun ngunit ramdam ko sa sarili ko na may mabigat siyang suliranin nang mga oras na yon. Kasama ang kanyang ate, nagmamadali silang lumabas ng compound ng eskwelahan kung saan kami nag aaral.

Hindi ko na nakita si emotera kinabukasan, at makalipas ang ilang araw muling nagkrus ang landas namin sa parehong lugar kung san kami unang nagkita. Kasama ng kanyang kaibigan, tinanong ko siya kung bakit siya umiiyak that time. Ngiti lang ang isinagot nya sa akin, at ang madaldal nyang kaibigan lang ang nagsabi na "Eh pano kasi namatay lolo nya" natahimik na lang ako sabay sabi ng "oopss... sorry"

Matapos ang araw na yun naging madalas na ang pag uusap namin hanggang sa magkaron kami ng 'MU' o multong unggoy...este..Mutual Understanding pala.

Araw araw ang naging pagkikita namin ni emotera, naroong tawagin ko siya sa oras ng kanyang klase para lang kumain ng pancit canton na ipinaluto ko sa canteen with matching RTO (royal true orange)

Magmula noon, nakasanayan na namin ni emotera ang routine na yun, kaya pagnakita na ako ng teacher nya alam na nila yun, at sasabihin "Oh Chat tawag ka ng boss mo" Natutuwa naman ako sa teacher nya dahil kahit na may klase sila hinahayaan nya na lumabas si emotera (chat) para sumama sa akin sa canteen to eat our fave snack!

Isa pa sa mga saksi sa aming napakasayang relasyon ay ang tindero sa park, sa tuwing makikita nya kami na magkasama ay lolokohin na kami nun at sasabihing "Sweet nyo, bagay na bagay kayo" at si emotera naman ay lalo pang kakapit sa akin sabay sasabihin ko naman "Siyempre naman"! Mga simpleng bagay lang ang naging palipasan ng oras namin ni emotera, ang pagtambay sa park, pagkain ng fishball at pag inom ng palamig na nasa plastik. Mga simpleng bagay pero tumatak sa aming mga puso at isipan na kahit kelan hindi namin kakalimutan!

Isa ang Charvin sa naging tambalan ng taon sa eskwela, lahat ata ng guro at mga schoolmate namin ang alam ang tambalang Charvin. Sino pa nga ba ang di makakakilala sa taong nagbansag ng tambalang Charvin, sino pa nga ba e di si Evelyn! ang babaeng kung lapastanganin ng mga estudyante ay ganun ganun na lamang..hehehe...Kung Proclesian ka malamang eh kilala mo si Evelyn!

Marami kaming masasayang araw ni emotera(chat) na habambuhay kong isasapuso, at oras oras kong sasariwain. Dahil ang mga sandaling kasama ko siya ay talaga namang langit para sa akin.

Walong taon na ang lumipas ngunit lahat ay sariwa parin sa aking alaala, mga araw at oras na kasama ko siya ay hindi matutumbasan ng kahit na anong halaga ng pera. Ang pagbigay nya sa akin ng mga krayola, ang mga krayola na nagsisilbing inspirasyon ko sa bawat oras na malayo ako sa kanila.

At kung mawala man ako sa mundong ito, at bigyan ng pagkakataon na bumalik, hihilingin ko sa kanya na ibalik ako sa araw na nagkakilala tayo para muling sariwain ang unang araw na ika'y naging akin!

Moments with love

2010-09-27T07:14:00.000-07:00

Magkahalong lungkot at saya ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, halos di ko maipaliwanag ang saya na nararamdaman ko. Siguro marahil sa kausap ko ang aking asawa at nakita ko ang aking mga krayola.

Masaya na ako na nakikita ko sila kahit na sa bintana lang ng aking computer. Gusto ko man silang yakapin ay tanging sa panaginip na lamang yun pwedeng mangyari.

Sinulit ko ang mga sandaling magkausap kami ng aking anak na si Micron, sobrang kulit talaga ng batang ito at nakuha pang makipaglokohan sa akin sa likod ng kamera. Sayang nga lang at di ko nakuhang litratuhan ang kakulitan nya para naman may maipost ako dito kahit paano. Nakapangalumbaba ako na nakatitig sa kanya habang naglalaro sila ng kanyang mama, bigla ko tuloy naisip parang kulang ang ilang araw na inilagi ko sa piling nila dahil hindi man lang kami nagkaron ng oras na magkasatan at magbonding kagaya ng ginagawa nila. Siguro marahil mas madalas pa siyang nasa piling ng tita nya kesa sa akin kaya parang kulang ang mga araw na inilagi ko sa piling nya.

Naalala ko tuloy ang sinabi ko sa asawa ko nung minsang magkausap kami. "Ang layo ng loob ni Mic sa akin" yan ang malungkot kong sabi. Kaya ang hirap pag nalalayo ka sa piling ng mahal mo lalo na at bata pa sila. Kung may pagkakataon lamang ako na umuwi linggo linggo ay gagawin ko para naman mas maging malapit ang loob nya sa akin. Tanggap ko naman na medyo malayo sa akin ang loob ng anak ko dahil sa hindi nya ako araw araw nakakausap at nakakasama, pero masakit din pala kung iyong iisipin.

Nakakatabi ko lang sa pagtulog si Micron kapag natutulog na siya kaya ang gagawin ko na lang ay ang titigan siya habang natutulog at kinakausap ng pabulong dahil baka magising at hanapin si tita nya. Ingat na ingat ako sa pag haplos ng kanyang ulo sa pangambang baka bigla siyang magising. Sapat na sa akin yun kahit sa ganung bagay lang sana maramdaman nya na ako ang papa nya at sana mas maging malapit pa siya sa akin.

Ibang iba naman ang panganay ko, ang aking munting prinsesa - palibhasa'y sa akin lumaki at sa mga hita ko natutulog nung siya'y munting anghel pa lamang. Mas naging malapit siya sa akin at ang naging bonding namin ay ang pagbasa ng libro bago siya matulog nung siya ay maliit pa lamang. Isang kwento isang gabi yan ang usapan namin.

Ngayong malaki na si Ash, hilig nya ang magbigay sa akin ng mga munting likha ng kanyang mga kamay. Naroong ipag gawa nya ako ng drawings o sumulat ng mga katagang "I love you Pa" at nung minsang tinulungan ko siya sa kanyang homework hindi pa siya nasiyahan na sabihin sa akin ang salitang "thank you" Nakuha pa nyang gumawa ng isang sulat na nakasulat ang "Thank you po papa, i love you po" ganyan ka sweet ang prinsesa ko kaya kahit na pasaway yan mahal na mahal ko yan.

Sa katunayan, gabi bago ako umalis ng pinas, humingi siya sa akin ng pera. Hindi ko na tinanong kung aanhin nya at agad ko siyang binigyan. Bumalik siya at patagong ipinakita sa akin ang kanyang binili. Isang kahon ng Krayola na gagamitin daw nya sa eskwela. "Anak bakit di mo sinabi sa akin para ako na ang bumili" ang tanong ko sa kanya. At alam nyo ba kung ano ang sagot nya sa akin? eto:

"Pa, ok lang po yun, alam ko naman po na hirap na kayo magwork kaya po tutulungan ko po kayo papa." Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya at hinaplos ang ulo nya.

Sa totoo lang ang buong akala ko kaya siya humingi ng pera eh para ibili ng pagkain nya o ng chichiria na paborito nya. Sa murang edad ni Ash naiisip nya na tulungan ako kahit sa munting bagay lang. Sana ganyan siya hanggang sa lumaki siya.

Eto ang ginawa nya gamit ang krayola na binili nya sa perang hiningi nya sa akin:

Maraming mga simpleng bagay ang gngwa ni Ash na sobra kong naaapreciate, mula sa simpleng paglalambing nya hanggang sa mga materyal na ginagawa nya para ipakita ang pagmamahal nya sa amin ng mama nya at kapatid nya.

Salamat sayo munting prinsesa ko...

Ang Krayola ng buhay ko!

2010-09-26T06:28:00.000-07:00

Parang di ako makapaniwala na umalis na naman ako ng bansa. Gaano katagal na naman kaya ako malalayo sa piling ng mga taong mahal ko? Ilang gabi kaya akong makikipaglaban sa kalungkutan? Hayy...ayoko na isipin yang mga tanong na yan dahil baka di ako makatiis at magbalak na namang umuwi. Hayyy....

Well...kwento na lang ako my dear ka-blog readers and friends.

Today is supposedly a very happy day for my daughter Ash, pero hindi naging masaya kasi ngayon mismo ang araw na iiwan ko na naman ang aking munting prinsesa.

"Hayaan mo anak mabilis lang ang araw" yan ang nasabi ko sa kanya kaninang umaga habang yakap yakap ko siya at hinahalikan para magpaalam dahil ang batang balanga ay muli na namang lilisan para mangibang bayan. Ramdam ko na napansin nya na naluha ako nung sinabi nya na "Pa, mamimiss po kita" ngumiti lang siya sa akin na parang nangungusap ang kanyang mga mata at nagsasabi na "kaya mo yan Pa" pinilit ko maging matatag sa harap nya at niyakap ko sya para di nya makita ang pagpunas ko sa aking mga mata.

Sa may pintuan nandun ang aking isang anak na parang walang kaalam alam sa mga nangyayari, hawak ang kanyang laruan nilapitan ko siya at hinalikan. Yumakap siya sa akin at humalik na may halong paglalambing. Kinarga ko siya at sinabi ko na "pano yan anak, aalis na si papa"... "Papa" yan ang ibinigay nyang sagot sa akin, paulit ulit nya binabanggit ang "Papa"..."Papa"... inilapag ko siya sa sofa hawak ang kanyang laruan na parang wala parin siyang ideya na ako'y lilisan.

Sunod kong nilapitan ang bunso ko, ang aking munting anghel na bunga ng pagmamahal. Kahit di pa nya naiintindihan, sinabi ko sa kanya ang salitang "Paalam" ayoko sana sabihin ang salitang yun sa kanya, kasi ayoko na sa mura nyang isipan, salitang "paalam" agad ang kanyang matututunan. Pero, kelangan eh... so nagpaalam ako sa kanya, matagal kong hinalikan ang bunso ko, habang ninanamnam ko ang amoy ng kanyang leeg bangong bango kasi ako sa mga sanggol.

Matagal ko siyang tinititigan, dahil hindi ko alam kung kelan ko siya ulit matititigan ng malapitan at mahahawakan kaya sinamantala ko na ang mga oras na yun. Natuwa ako ng bigla siyang ngumiti, siguro hudyat yun na nararamdaman nya ako. hinimas ko lang ang kanyang ulo bilang ganti sa ibinigay nyang mga ngiti.

Mabilis na lumakad ang oras at kinailangan ko nang magpaalam sa lahat ng tao sa bahay. Huli kong pinagpaalaman ang pinaka espesyal na tao sa puso ko, ang aking asawa. Ngumiti lang ako sa asawa ko at kumindat, sa mga sign na yun alam ko na ramdam nya kung gaano ko siya kamahal, dahil ganun ako pag naglalambing sa kanya.

"Hon, aalis na ako" ang sabi ko; Ngumiti siya sa akin at sinabi ang mga katagang "Ingat", "I love You", humalik lng ako sa mga labi nya at tuluyan na akong nagpaalam.

Bitbit ang aking laptop, sa likuran ko ay nakasunod ang aking anak na si Micron, umiiyak siya habang binabanggit ang salitang "sama", "papa", "sama" hinaplos ko lang ang kanyang mga pisngi at muli ko siyan hinalikan.

Pinilit ko na maging matatag para di sila mahirapan at di rin ako mahirapan na umalis. Malayo na ako nakatanaw pa ang anak kong lalaki, khit di ko na naririnig ang iyak nya sa, sa puso ko ay parang may kumukurot na halos gusto kong tumalon at muling yakapin siya.

Kumaway na lamang ako habang lumalayo ang sinasakyan ko. Sa tabi ko, nakatingin sa akin ang panganay ko na si Ashley, nakangiti siya; Inakbayan ko siya at sinabi ko ng pabiro "O anak nandito ka pala" Sabay yakap sa kanya at tumawa. "Si papa talaga" yan ang sagot nya sabay hawak sa hita ko.

Wala na ako ibang nasabi pa sa kanya kundi ang "Magpakabait ka anak ha" "Lagi makikinig kay Mama"

Hayyy.... Napatigil ako pansamantala habang umaandar ang sinasakyan namin ng anak ko hanggang sa makarating kami sa lugar kung saan ko ipi pick-up ang bestfriend ko, dahil kasama siya sa paghatid sa akin.

Mula sa jolibee, ang lugar kung saan ko pinick-up ang bestfriend ko hanggang sa bahay ng parents ko, masaya kaming nagkukwentuhan at nagbibiruan, ako...ang bestfriend ko...at ang anak ko. Kaming tatlo kasi talaga ang magkakasanggang dikit.

Nakarating kami sa bahay ng parents ko, nagpaalam kay Papa, at sa aking mama, na kahit na 2 weeks na may sakit, pinilit bumangon para ihatid ako kahit sa sasakyan lang.

Sa loob ng sasakyan namin, andun ang kulitan, asaran at tawanan naming magkakapatid kasama ng bestfriend ko. Pinilit naming maging masaya na parang walang iniisip na may aalis na naman sa pamilya.

"Ang hirap umalis" sabi ko sa ate maricel ko, ngumiti lang siya at sinabi "siyempre may maliit ka"

Tumawa lang ako sabay nagbitaw ng mga jokes sa kanila. Ganyan talaga ako palabiro!

Pagdating sa airport, sabi ng kapatid ko "oi cancel daw yung flight papunta ng singapore" parang bumilis ang tibok ng dibdib ko, sa isip isip ko..salamat makakauwi ako ulit! Dali dali ako lumapit sa airport staff, at tinanong kung cancelled ang flight papunta ng singapore. Oo cancel nga daw! Natuwa ako bigla, kaso nung tiningnan yung eroplano na sasakyan ko, iba pala ang eroplano na nacancel.

Nanghinayang ako bigla, at nakayukong bumalik sa upuan. Kinuha ko ang gamit ko at nagpaalam na sa aking mga kapatid, at sa anak ko na sobrang kulit.

Hayyy.... 6 hours na ako dito sa singapore! bukas balik na naman sa normal na routine, gigising ng maaga at papasok sa opisina!

Salamat na lang at nandyan ang mga krayola ng buhay ko, na nagiging inspirasyon ko sa bawat araw na kahit di ko sila kapiling, lagi parin nila pinaparamdam ang pagmamahal nila sa akin. Mahal na mahal ko kayo mga Krayola ng buhay ko! Ash,Mic, Jared... and ofcourse ang lalagyan ng Krayola..ang aking asawa! I love you hon!

Balanga City : POV about Jueteng - to legalized it or not!

2010-09-21T16:52:00.000-07:00

Anak ng Jueteng! Yan ang nasasambit ko sa sarili ko sa tuwing makakakita ako ng nagpapataya ng Jueteng dito sa lugar namin.

Hanggang sa telebisyon at radyo ay puro jueteng ang maririnig mo sa mga balita at mas lalo pa umiinit ang issue ng jueteng dahil sa may mga nasa posisyon ang sangkot sa ganitong klaseng eskandalo. Anak ng jueteng talaga!

At ang nakakatawa pa dito bakit hindi mahuli huli ang mga sangkot sa sinasabi nilang illegal na sugal.

Hahaha!!! yan ang naging reaksyon sa tuwing maririnig ko ang balitang ito dahil para silang mga sirang plaka na paulit ulit nilang pinapangalanan ang mga taong sangkot sa issue na 'to pero walang nahuhuli hanggang ngayon.

Actually kelan pa nga ba nagsimula ang issue ng jueteng? Kung di ako nagkakamali simula pa ng administrasyong Estrada nang magsimulang uminit ang issue na to at sa katunayan ito pa ang naging dahilan ng pagkakaalis nya sa pwesto. Pero bakit hanggang ngayon wala paring solusyon ang problemang dala ng illegal na sugal na 'to.

Mga anak kayo ng jueteng, bigyan nyo ng solusyon ang problemang ito, hindi yung puro kayo dakdak dyan sa senado at kongreso! Nabigyan nyo na ng pangalan bakit hindi pa makasuhan? Lagi nyo sinasabi iniimbistigahan ninyo, eh hanggang kelan yan? Baka after 10 years may jueteng parin dito sa Pilipinas.

Hayyy....Anak ng jueteng tlga oh!

Bata....Bata...Bilis mo gumawa!

We went to church last Sunday to welcome our third child Charvin Rav Jared. While we are on our way, napangiti ako while i am looking behind me, my eldest daughter Ashley were walking alone while her younger brother Micron walking along with her mom na magkahawak ang kamay, habang ako naman ay karga ko ang bunso namin.

I have told to my self "Lumalaki na pala ang family ko" Bigla pumasok sa isip ko na parang kelan lang ay naglalaro ako kasama ng mga ibang bata, na kagaya nila nagtutumbang preso, nagtataguan, naghahabulan at naranasan ko rin maglaro ng chinese garter at piko.

Napakasarap isipin na lumalaki ang family mo, but it is more better kung kasama mo sila in every day of their life, i mean mula sa paggising hanggang sa pagtulog sana nakikita mo sila at nahahawakan. Mamimiss ko na naman ang kulitan namin ng mga anak ko, ang tawanan at ang asaran namin ng asawa ko.

Gusto kong sulitin ang mga araw na nandito ako sa piling nila, and i will make it sure na magiging masaya ang bawat araw namin na magkakasama.

Days are running fast and after 5 more days lilipad na naman ang batang-balanga papunta sa Singapore para ipagpatuloy ang commitment ko. Ilang months na naman kaya ako magtitiis ng homesick? Ilang months na naman kaya ako magiging superhero? Well, hindi ko alam at walang nakaka alam. Basta ang alam ko lang, I am doing this para sa family ko, to give them everything and provide them all their needs.

Do you have a gift like what i have? A new gift of love - Charvin Rav Jared

Rush hour of September 11, 2010 with flight 5J-538 of Cebu Pacific airlines carrying around hundred of people flying off to Diosdado Macapagal Airport Clark Pampanga, sitting on seat 7C - a seat where i always took every time i'm flying off to Philippines; There was an excited passenger named: ARVIN - and that was me! the author of this blog...

Filled with dreams and excitement to have my wife and kids being embraced once again together in my arms is what i feel during that time and God i can't really explain why!

More excitement arouse when the plane takes off and start to lift thousand feet from the ground. And together with the clouds floating at the atmosphere, lumilipad din ang isip ko while i am staring at the window right besides me.

I tried to sleep para di ko maramdaman ang oras, though its just 4 hours flight from Singapore to Philippines feeling ko parang napakahabang biyahe nito para sa isang ama na nasasabik na mayakap at makita ang pansamantalang iniwang pamilya para magtrabaho sa ibang bansa.

Time has run fast, then suddenly i woke up when one of the flight attendant offered something to eat. A cup of nissin cup noodles and a can of 7-up filled my empty stomach, dahan dahan ko kinain ang noodles kasabay ng lumilipad ko paring isip na sumasabay sa paggalaw ng ulap.

Napangiti ako ng magsalita ang Kapitan ng eroplano na sinasakyan namin. "We are now approaching Diosdado Macapagal Airport..." hindi ko na inintindi ang mga sumunod na sinabi ng kapitan, the only important thing na nalaman ko ay malapit na kaming lumapag at malapit ko na mayakap ang crayola ng buhay ko who always giving some color in my life.

At last, the time has come. Lumapag ang eroplano na sinasakyan ko at halos mapatayo ako agad para kunin ang gamit ko sa cabin.

Sa labas ng airport, natanaw ko agad ang aking prinsesa na nakatnaw sa akin na alam ko na nakikita rin ako mula sa kanyang kinakatayuan.

Ngiti ang ibinigay nya sa akin, katunayan na nakita nya ako ganung ako ay nasa gitna ng maraming tao. It is just a proof na kahit isama tayo sa napakaraming tao, makikita parin tayo ng taong mahal natin sa pamamagitan ng "personal instinct" na tinatawag.

A single smile is the only thing that i do in return, just to show to her that i saw her too and i just wink my eyes on her wishing that she saw it too.

From a distance, while im heading my way out, someone took my attention! A girl sitting in one of the bench-chair smiling at me.

I immediately approach her and give her a warm hug and kiss! And you know why i kissed her? Hmmnn...she's my wife actually! awww...

And to make this story short, we reach home around 9:30 in the evening and eat my late dinner together with my wife and kids. Adobong Manok and Baboy is the dishes that i've been requested, and she grant it. She cook it with love just for me.

After that, naligo lang ako at umakyat na kasama ni Ashley at Micron kasunod ni Chat. We slept together but my boy Micron slept with her tita Abbie.

Halos 4 na oras pa lang ako nakakatulog when my wife tried to wake me up. Sabi nya masakit ang tiyan nya na parang humihilab. I ask her to ignore it and get back to sleep instead.

Hindi siya huminto sa pag hawak sa tummy nya while she was sitting down the bed. So i stand up and touch her tummy and i ask her this words "masakit na ba talaga?" She just nod at me, so i told her ok sige maligo ka na at dadalin na kita sa hospital.

Nakarating kami sa hospital around 4:30 in the morning and with some checkup on her the nurses decided to admit her.

Oh yeah! She was labouring that time. Actually ito ang first time ko na experience to kasi most of the time wala ako sa piling nya sa tuwing nanganganak siya. So medyo kabado talaga ako at di ko alam ang gagawin ko. Pero di ko pinakita sa asawa ko yun at instead nagpakakatatag ako.

After an almost 5 hours of waiting a new gift from heaven was born, a single cry from far pass through my ears together with my sister in-law and she told me "siguro yun na yun" I just smiled at her and say..."Maybe"

Matapos ang iyak na yun i have decided to go up and went to our assigned room, ipinatawag ako ng nurse at sinabing nakapanganak na ang asawa ko.

Magkahalong saya at tuwa ang naramdaman ko dahil at last, nakaraos na ang asawa ko kahit papaano at siyempre with the help and guide of our Lord.

A new baby boy and ipinahiram sa amin ng panginoon at kagaya ng ginawa ko sa mga anak ko na si Ash at Mic, mamahalin at ibibigay ko lahat ng pangangailangan niya.

I feel so happy at talagang hinintay pa ako ng anak ko para iparamdam sa akin kung paano ba ang feeling ng isang tatay na nagwoworry habang ang kanyang asawa ay nasa loob ng ER at nagli labor.

Ang sarap isipin na hinintay lang talaga ako ng asawa at anak ko para sa ganitong karanasan.

Till here and hope you like my post!

Ouch...my Unguis incarnatus is killing me!

2010-09-04T00:23:00.000-07:00

It was few days ago when i feel the pain on my toenail, i just ignore it for the thinking that it was just normal or just because my nail is too long and might need to cut.

Then after i feel so irritated with my toenail i cut it out using my old big nail cutter... lol! after i cut my toenail, i thought that it was the end of my misery, i mean the unusual feeling along the margins of my nails. I am wrong, actually that was the start of my nightmare.

After bathing, i try to clean my nail with the normal thing that i usually do, remove the dirt surrounds the margins and that's it. I didn't know that my nightmare will kick in as quick as a sh!t, after i put on my socks and wear my shoe i feel that there's something wrong on my feet, my toe feels so sensitive in every steps i make.

"Oh God... ang sakit ng paa ko" that's the only word that comes out from my beautiful lips (naks naman) and everytime i step napapakagat labi ako because of the pain.

I don't give a damn care about the pain and instead, i make my way to work and after a long day of work, i can still feel the irritating feeling all over my toenail. Time has past and but the pain was still there, so when i reach home i immediately take out my shoe and take a look what's happening inside my sting socks, and i am shock of what i've seen a bloody finger toe stuck on my socks. I slowly remove it feeling that it was the end of the world, i can really see the tissues bumping up on my toenail and the only thing that i can do is to shake my head while uttering this words "Aray sh!t and sakit".

I tried to think what are the real cause of this unguis incarnatus or what we usually called "ingrown". And i found out that one of the reason is our uncomfortable socks and tight shoes. But i tell to myself how could it be eh maluluwang ang medyas ko wala na ngang garter! Or if the reason is my shoe, impossible din naman dahil maluwag rin ang sapatos ko! So naisip ko, hindi kaya dahil kelangan ko na labhan ang shoes ko!!! hmmnnn...

Nangiti na lang ako at sabay sabi ng "Siguro nga dahil sobra dumi ng shoes ko kaya ako nagkaron ng ingrown"

So guys, if you don't want to suffer these pain i advice you to wash your shoes atleast once a week. And keep your socks clean and disenfected, not too tight to your feet. Wear a comfortable shoes and socks to avoid this miserable feeling of pain!

Hope you like my post! See yah!

Policeman suspended after the Manila Hostage Tragic

2010-08-28T01:32:00.000-07:00

MANILA (AFP) - – A fifth senior policeman in the Philippines was suspended on Friday amid further revelations of bungling in the chaotic end to a hostage stand-off that left eight Hong Kong tourists dead.

The Philippine government and police have been under intense pressure all week after admitting to mistakes in the handling of Monday's hijacking of a bus in Manila by a frustrated sacked policeman who was hoping to get his job back.

Eight of the tourists and the hijacker were killed in the final stages of the day-long siege, which saw an ill-prepared Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team attempt to storm the bus but fail to get in for about 60 minutes.

Manila's police chief, Leocadio Santiago, said Friday a senior officer who joined the SWAT assault without permission had been suspended.

"We all saw him on TV. He was in the area but he was not supposed to be there," Santiago told reporters, as he explained the reasons for suspending Superintendent Nelson Yabut.

The siege was broadcast live on television and viewers around the world saw Yabut joining the SWAT personnel without wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest or any other protective gear.

Yabut was the fifth policeman involved in the assault on the bus to be suspended. Their commanding officer also took leave as part of his efforts to take responsibility for the tragedy.

Meanwhile, Chinese authorities, already furious over the Philippines' handling of the crisis, expressed further outrage after television footage showed a Philippine flag draped over the coffin of the gunman, Rolando Mendoza.

"The person who deserves a national flag at (their) funeral should be someone of heroism, decency and integrity, not someone who inflicts atrocity on innocent lives," the Chinese embassy in Manila said in a statement.

In reaction, the government moved quickly to have the flag removed, which Mendoza's relatives placed on the coffin ahead of his funeral on Saturday.

The Philippines had planned to send a delegation to Beijing and Hong Kong for a fence-mending visit, but the Chinese government said it wanted an explanation for the police actions before allowing any diplomatic courtesies.

"We think the most urgent task is to get as clear an investigation result of the incident as soon as possible," foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Thursday when asked about the proposed visit.

National police chief Jesus Versoza said on Friday it was too early to release any results of the investigations, and pleaded for patience.

"We have a lot of things to study so this might take a long time so please bear with us," Versoza told reporters.

It remained unclear on Friday who fired the bullets that killed the hostages in the final moments of the siege.

National police spokesman Senior Superintendent Agrimero Cruz said Thursday preliminary tests indicated all died after being shot by Mendoza.

But he conceded that more tests needed to be done and Verzosa did not comment on the issue on Friday.

The police had already identified inadequate equipment for the SWAT team, allowing the media to roam around the hostage site and bad crowd control as failures that led to the deadly ending of the crisis.

Media and security experts have said there were many other major blunders, such as not taking opportunities earlier in the day to shoot Mendoza.

The Philippine military weighed into the debate on Thursday, saying one of its US Special Forces-trained elite units was offered to the police but was not used.

Officers abusing there power should be punished!

2010-08-26T08:08:00.001-07:00

When I’m browsing my facebook page, I saw one video that hook my interest. A video of students from PMI Bacolod who’s allegedly haze the freshmen students. On the video itself you can see a mistreatment of these officers to their subordinate that cause them to be tremendously hurt and beaten by their officers.

I don’t know why they have to do such things to their subordinate, which is I think not part of their curriculum. People might think that this is stupid, but YES! These are stupid act from officers itself.

Dapat bilang officer, ikaw mismo ang maging huwaran ng mga estudyante hindi yung sa inyo pa mismo nagsisimula ang mga kagaguhan na yan.
I don’t know why the people behind this video act like they are KING and they can beat their subordinates however they want.

You crazy people must send to jail, that was unethical attitude from an officer like you. You are disgrace to our country and you must be punished by law.
Law? Ooppss sorry…Is there a law for this kind of things? Oh I forgot they are from the Philippines and justice is for all those people who are in white-collar attire. Sorry to say that but I find it true!

I hope that the local government will take action about this mishandling of the officers to their subordinate and I hope that these people will be punished accordingly. Shame on you people who’s on this video!

Maging makatao naman tayo mga Pinoy! Sirang sira na nga tayo ganyan pa ang inaasal nyo, I admit I am not perfect but to do that kind of things? HELL NO! I am not tolerating that kind of things at sana matauhan kayo mga gunggong!

Whose Fault? Hostage Drama in Manila Philippines

2010-08-26T06:27:00.001-07:00

Wherever we are, and when we tried to read newspapers there is one topic on every front page of it - The Hostage drama in Manila Philippines.
But what is the big deal about this news and why all people are interested and getting hooked on this news. Is it because this is the talk of the town? Or maybe it is the news that shocks the nation?

For me, personally speaking as a Filipino I am not affected by this news unlike my fellow countrymen whose working abroad especially Hong-Kong, but of course my sympathy to the victim and to their relatives and love ones are there. I am not affected in the sense that nobody asks me about the situation and how are we going to handle these as a Filipino.

I must admit that this issue is not that simple, and to be honest with you when I watch the news and read some articles about the drama I felt that there is something wrong in between the person involved on the hostage taking ( Mendoza) and the people whose communicating with him (Media, Police officers, Relatives etc)

Why does these thing happen in the first place? What are the reasons why Mendoza comes up to this point of killing people? Is he under the influence of drugs? Is he stressed out or something? Or there is something “BEHIND” this drama? Well, nobody knows!

Actually when I heard the interview on one of the hostages that he had been released, I feel like Mr. Mendoza is such a nice guy, imagine those words coming from the victims saying that “At first we are scared at him, but after a while about 20 minutes we are not scared anymore” So it means Mendoza shows respect and good attitude to all the hostages – correct me if I’m wrong but whose hostage will say that their hostage taker is such a good man? Nobody right???

At the back of my mind there are questions that I need to be answered – Is it the hostage taker himself killed the hostages? Or the people who tried to assassinate the hostage taker? Well, this is another story and we all have no IDEA at all!
But what I know at this point of time that Mr. Mendoza is seeking for help to be back in the service, but why they don’t let that to happen and let this tragic become worst to the extent of killing our tourists who only want to see the beauty of our country and the people within.

To the government – how can you answer to this kind of situation? And what are the plans that clouded up on your mind to bring back the trust of the people outside our country?

Manila Hostage Drama: Philippine Tourism is Dead! 1 shot, 2 shot, Bang!

2010-08-24T00:41:00.001-07:00

A recent incident shocks the whole nation when a former policeman hijacked one of the tourist bus with Chinese nationals and Filipino passengers together with the driver itself.

Hostages had been captives around ten in the morning, when the former policeman Rolando Mendoza seized the tourist bus from Hong Thai Travel.

At the window you can clearly see his messages all written in a white paper such as "Big mistake to correct a big decision" followed by "Big deal will start at 3:00 in the afternoon.

He released some of the hostages around 2:00 in the afternoon as what he had been promised. He demanded for few things like food and water. He also ask the media that he wanted to talk to his brother whose also a policeman assigned in Benguet Abra- a province in the Philippines.

Police assistance are on-standby while the chief of staff tried to communicate with the hostage taker, Mr. Mendoza refused to surrender despite of verbal communication in-between him and his superiors and member of the families.

At around 3'o'clock in the afternoon he declared a deadlock - It means anyone whose inside the bus will not be release until they agree with what he want.

First shot has been heard late afternoon, and a total of 8 people were killed and some are still in trauma of the tragic.

After a 12 hours of peace-talk between the hostage taker and the police man and his relatives, Mr. Mendoza armored with M16 Riffle refused the negotiation and instead he assassinate some of the hostages.

After few gunshots, Mr. Mendoza were been killed by one of Philippine National Police Sniper, with one shot on his head.

Philippine are now expecting a lower rate of tourist whose willing to visit the country after this incident and government are still investigating the real cause of the hostage drama.

Today was my blogs 4th year anniversary. Four years of blogging to be exact, I can still remember my first post; Its all about myself and who am i. If you want to read my first ever post, you can check it out here or you can check my archives.

Before i setup this blog, my only intention is to have a simple past-time when i feel bored, and to interact with other people by sharing my thoughts. Initially, i have no idea about blogging and i have no idea on how to monetized it.

I've heard that people are earning money through blogging, and my mentor proved that to me, so i have decided to find ways on how to earn money through internet. Until one day, i tried to sign-up from Google.com as a publisher.

After a week-long of searching on how to get my first cent, I have read that my blog need to be submitted to directories, and by doing directory submission my blog will be exposed to visitors or readers.

My submission to hundreds of directories has been paid off, cos at last i get my first $ on my google account. Days has come and my clicks are getting higher and higher from 1click down to 3 so on and so fort. From that day, i prove to myself that what my mentor told me is true na "MAY PERA SA INTERNET"

And until now i am still pursuing what i have been started - to find a way on how to make a living through internet. And i know that this is a continue learning so i won't stop studying all the possible way of how to earn money without spending even a single penny.

If you want to promote a product to sell, try visiting my clickbank portal to get an idea on how to promote other peoples products and earn money through commissions.

Balanga City : Solid Waste Program

2010-08-21T05:22:00.000-07:00

If you were from the City of Balanga, maybe you are very much familiar with this place: General Lim Street San Jose Balanga City. If you observed from the picture, mapapansin nyo na mga tambak ng basura ang tatambad sa inyo, despites of the note na "BAWAL MAGTAPON NG BASURA" I don't know, if they uneducated people na di marunong bumasa or sadyang makakapal ang mukha ng mga tao na nagtatapon ng basura dito.

No matter how hard the city of balanga tried to maintain the cleanliness of the city, kung may mga tao namang likas na manhid at patuloy na magtatapon ng basura, i believe that there's no point of fighting for the cleanliness. Pero kung tayo mismo na residente ang magsisimula ng kaayusan at kalinisan ng nasasakupan natin, maaaring the future generation will be benefited ng mga aksyon na gagawin natin ngayon. If you want your children to suffer from different illness or disease caused by unwanted garbage scattered all over our place, then go! Ipagpatuloy nyo ang pagtapon! But if you want to have a clean, fresh and eye refreshing environment then, we have to make a move! Don't let other people throw their garbage all over our place, at magsisimula to kung tayo mismo na residente ang susunod sa batas na nagsasabing bawal magtapon ng basura sa di tamang lugar.

Sa gobyerno naman ng Balanga City, siguro dapat mas maging mahigpit ang ordinansa na ipapatupad nyo para sa kalinisan ng Balanga.

Isa sa suggestion ko ay ang mga sumusunod:
1. Pagpataw ng Multa na di bababa o di tataas sa 1000 pesos para sa mahuhuling magtatapon ng basura.
2. Pagpataw ng kaparusahang maglinis ng siyudad ng balanga sa loob ng tatlo hanggang limang araw.

I am not saying na sundin ng government ng balanga ang suggestion ko, i am just giving you an idea on how to make our people aware about the situation.

Balanga City to Singapore with love

Sa may asawa, kapatid, anak, kaibigan, at kamag-anak na OFW.
At lalo na sa mga gustong mangibang-bansa...
Nais ko rin ibahagi sa inyo, ang natanggap kong email na ito.
Maaaring makatulong ito upang lalong maintindihan ng bawa't isa ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng pagiging isang OFW (Isa ako sa milyun-milyong kababayan natin). Tiyak na may mapupulot tayong aral dito.

Hindi mayaman ang OFW - We have this notion na 'pag OFW o nasa abroad ay mayaman na. Hindi totoo yun. A regular OFW might earn from P20K-P30K per month depende sa lokasyon. Yung mga taga-Saudi or US siguro ay mas malaki ang sweldo, but to say that they're rich is a fallacy (Amen!).
Malaki ang pangangailangan kaya karamihan sa amin ay nag-a-abroad. Maraming bunganga ang kailangang pakainin kaya umaalis kami sa Pinas. Madalas, 3/4 o kalahati ng sweldo ay napupunta sa tuition ng anak at gastusin ng pamilya.

Mahirap maging OFW - Kailangan namin magtipid hangga't kaya. Oo, masarap ang pagkain sa abroad pero madalas na paksiw o adobo (hindi kc agad nasisira ito) at itlog lang tinitira para makaipon. Pagdating ng kinsenas o katapusan, ang unang tinitingnan eh ang conversion ng peso sa dollar o rial o euro. Mas okay na kami na lang ang magutom kaysa gutumin ang pamilya.

Kapag umuuwi kami, kailangan may baon/pasalubong kahit konti, kasi maraming kamag-anak ang sumusundo sa airport o naghihintay sa probinsya. Alam nyo naman 'pag Pinoy, yung tsismis na OFW ka eh surely attracts a lot of kin. Kapag hindi mo nabigyan ng pasalubong eh magtatampo na yun at sisiraan ka na.

Well, hindi naman lahat pero I'm sure sa mga OFW dito eh may mga pangyayaring ganun.

Magtatrabaho ka sa bansang iba ang tingin at trato sa gaya nating mga Pinoy, kahit na masipag at mas may utak tayo kaysa sa kanila. Malamang marami ang naka-experience na nang pang-gugulang o discrimination to their various workplaces. Sige lang, tiis lang, iiiyak na lang namin kasi kawawa naman pamilya 'pag umuwi kami sa pinas.

Besides, wala ka naman talagang maasahang trabaho sa Philippines ngayon. Mahal ang bigas, ang gatas, ang sardinas, ang upa sa apartment. Tiis lang kahit maraming pasaway sa trabaho, kahit may sakit at walang nag-aalaga, kahit hindi masarap ang tsibog, kahit pangit ang working conditions, kahit delikado, kahit mahirap. Kapag nakapag-padala na kami, okay na yun, tawag lang, "hello! kumusta na kayo?".

Hindi bato kaming mga OFW - Tao rin ang OFW, hindi kami money o cash machine. Napapagod rin, nalulungkot (madalas), nagkakasakit (na-endoscopy ako), nag-iisip (nakapag-adjust na) at nagugutom (palagi). Kailangan din ang suporta, kundi man physically, emotionally o spiritually (especially ito) man lang.

Tumatanda rin kaming mga OFW - Sa mga nakausap at nakita ko, marami ang panot at kalbo na. Most of them have signs and symptoms of hypertension, coronary artery disease and arthritis. Yet, they continue to work thinking about the family they left behind.

Marami ang nasa abroad, 20-30 years na, pero wala pa ring ipon. Kahit anong pagpapakahirap, sablay pa rin. Masakit pa kung olats rin ang sinusuportahang pamilya sa Pinas - ang anak adik o nabuntis/nakabuntis; ang asawa/gf/bf may kinakasamang iba; ang kapatid nakuntento na lang na umasa at tumambay. Naalala ko tuloy ang sikat na kanta dati, "NAPAKASAKIT KUYA EDDIE!"

Bayani kaming mga OFW - Totoo yun! Ngayon ko lang na-realize na bayani ang OFW sa maraming bagay. Hindi bayani na tulad ni Nora Aunor o Flor Contemplacion. Bayani in the truest sense of the word. Hindi katulad ni Rizal o Bonifacio na kalayaan ang ipinaglaban. Mas higit pa dun, mas maraming giyera at gulo ang pinapasok ng OFW para lang mabuhay.

Mas maraming pulitika ang kailangang suungin para lang tumagal sa trabaho lalo na't parang mga ahas at parang mga amag ang mga kasama sa trabaho. Mas mahaba ang pasensya namin kaysa sa mga ordinaryong kongresista o senador sa Philippines dahil sa takot namin na mawalan ng trabaho at sweldo.

Matindi kaming mga OFW - Matindi ang pinoy. Matindi pa sa daga, o cockroaches which survived the cataclysmic evolution.

Maraming sakripisyo pero walang makitang tangible solutions or consequences.

Malas naming mga OFW, swerte ng mga buwayang pulitiko - Hindi umuupo ang OFW para magbigay ng autograph o interbyuhin ng media (unless nakidnap o na-maltrato). Madalas nasa sidelines lang ang OFW.

Kapag lilisan ng bansa, malungkot and on the verge of tears; Kapag dumadating, swerte 'pag may sundo (madalas naman meron); Kapag naubos na ang ipon at wala nang maibigay, wala na rin ang kamag-anak. Sana sikat kaming mga OFW para may boses kami sa Kamara.

Ang swerte ng mga buwayang pulitiko nakaupo lang sila at ginagastusan ng pera ng Filipino. Hindi nga sila naiinitan ng matinding araw o napapaso ng langis; napagagalitan at nasasampal ng amo; kumakain ng paksiw para makatipid; nakatira sa compound with conditions less than favorable; nakikisama sa ibang lahi para mabuhay. Ang swerte ninyong mga buwayang pulitiko kayo, sobrang swerte ninyo.

Matatag kaming mga OFW - Matatag ang OFW, mas matatag pa sa sundalo o kung ano pang grupo na alam nyo. Magaling sa reverse psychology, negotiations at counter-attacks.

Tatagal ba ang OFW? - Tatagal at dadami pa kami hangga't hindi pa natin alam kung kailan magbabago ang Philippines , kailan nga kaya?... o may tsansa pa ba?

Masarap isipin na kasama mo ang pamilya mo araw-araw. Nakikita mo mga anak mong lumalaki at naaalagaan ng maayos na kasama ka.

Masarap kumain ng sitaw, ng bagoong, lechon, inihaw na isda, taba ng talangka.

Masarap manood ng pelikulang Pinoy, luma man o bago.

Iba pa rin ang pakiramdam kung kilala mo at nakakakuwenttuhan mo ang kapitbahay mo. Iba pa rin sa Philippines; iba pa rin kapag Pinoy ang kasama mo except ('pag hambog at utak-talangka); Iba pa rin 'pag nagkukwento ka at naiintindihan ng iba ang sinasabi mo; Iba pa rin ang tunog ng "mahal kita!", "day, ginahigugma tika"," "Mingaw na ko nimo ba, kalagot!", " Inday, diin ka na subong haw? ganahan guid ko simo ba".

Iba pa rin talaga.

Sige lang, tiis lang, saan ba't darating din ang pag-asa.

Kung may kamag-anak kang OFW mapalad ka at wala ka d2 sa kinalalagyan namin at anjan ka kasama mo ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.

Kung OFW ka at binabasa mo ito, mabuhay ka dahil ikaw ang tunay na BAYANI ng lahing PILIPINO!!!

Are you addicted with Farmville? Let me show you this!

2010-07-26T06:30:00.000-07:00

Recently while searching for a tips and tricks on how to level up on Farmville i suddenly came up with this article about farmville secret strategy. You can check out that website to see what i am talking about.

And here's the article say:

FarmVille has turned out to be one of the most popular games played on the social networking site Facebook of late. It provides a pleasant escape to the players from their everyday chaotic life. It's interesting and engaging enough to entice people into playing FarmVille on a regular basis. It requires your everyday attention and you eventually get hooked on to it. This particular article focuses on the tactics that one can apply while playing the addictive game of FarmVille by using strategies that many aren't aware of.

You will have to begin the game by getting hold of a firm. A typical or rather the basic one consists of six ploughed patches. Two of these patches will have fully grown crops and another two will have crops that are half developed. The rest two will be left to you for planting other things. You will initially start off with only 200 coins and 5 dollars worth of FarmVille cash in the bank. You begin harvesting as this fetches you easy money. But don't go on increasing your harvest endlessly because that might lead to lose a lot of money. The best thing you can do is first clear 10 patches of land. Then harvest the one you were supposed to do and gather the money. Then move on to the next one.

Select the crop that you want to plant wisely. Crops which take up to 24 hours to mature help you earn two experience points on each plot of land. The more you proceed to the higher levels the more you earn such experience points. Potential crops help you earn quick bucks as well. Keep in mind the correspondence between seed costing and the money you earn from harvesting them as it is crucial as a FarmVille strategy. First and foremost get some cash in your bank. This can be easily done by ploughing an area of 4 plots by 4 plots. Considering you as a regular player in FarmVille you can start off with planting strawberries as they fetch you money quickly. You can choose your crops accordingly but we found that these strategies work the best.

You can compare your status with other players and you can get an idea of how to improve. You can also start helping them out. For the first 20 neighbors whom you will help a neat 20 coins and 5 experience points will be your earning. If you regularly do this you will end up earning a lot. Then arrives the step of buying a 16 by 16 plot of land. Also known as Homestead, this will be your first step in expanding your farm. Ribbons are one more interesting factor of FarmVille. Start accepting them instead of ignoring. If you can follow this step, you can master the game with a simple FarmVille strategy.

That's what is written on the articles, actually it really blows me up when i saw his farm and craving on how to have a farm same as what he hajavascript:void(0)s.

If you guys wanted to have the same farm with him you better try it out!

Oh here's the link anyway: Farmville Secret Code

2009-09-19T08:42:00.000-07:00

This is one questions na hindi ko nasagot sa sarili ko, actually i'm planning to surprise my daughter on her 7th birthday this coming 26th of September, but i think it is not possible this time, first reason is - i don't know if my boss will allow me to go back to Philippines because we have a lot of things to do at office. The other reason is "financial problem" which is i know hindi lang ako ang may ganitong problema.

I tell to myself na oo nga makakauwi ako but paano na after that?... There's no problem with my plane ticket but i don't have enough money to spend during my stay in Philippines.

But if i really have a chance i wanted to be with my daughter on her 7th birthday, i want to dance her during the party, and show to her how much i love her and how much she mean to me.

I don't know kung nagtatampo ang baby ko sa akin, coz my wife told me that my daughter ask her kung makakauwi ba ako sa birthday nya. So my wife told her that i cannot make it. And don't have time to go back to Philippines. And you know how my daughter response? She told to her mom, "Ma, bakit nung binyag ng kapatid ko umuwi si papa, hindi na ba nya ako love"

Imagine those words na maririnig mo from your daughter, napakahirap dba. That's why i told to my wife, if i really have a chance, and if my money comes on time, why i should not come on her birthday, the fact that i really miss them so much and i want to be with them on this special occasion for my daughter.

Until now i'm still wishing and hoping that one miracle will happen, sana makarating ang inaasahan kong pera at makauwi ako on the day of my daughter's birthday.

So wish me luck!

Balanga City- Umulan ng yelo... Sign na ba to?

2009-09-16T06:35:00.000-07:00

I've heard from my wife kanina, she told me that there was a heavy rain strikes the city, and there are some pieces of ice together with the rain. Natakot ako sa kwento nya, that my children was crying dahil sa sobrang takot. I was so shocked dahil this is the first time that these things happen on my entire life. I just asked her to pray for their safety.

According to her, sa sobrang lakas ng hangin, may mga pamilya sa lugar namin ang nawalan ng bahay because of tornado, then at this time walang kuryente sa Balanga City, dahil some of the electrical post was broken down so kinailangan pang alisan ng supply ng kuryente ang ilang lugar sa balanga.

At this kind of situation, i don't know how the government will handle this kind of disaster. Sana matulungan ng mga nasa gobyerno ang mga pamilya sa lugar namin na nawalan ng bahay.

Is it one of the effect of climate change? Or this is one of the signs from Heaven?? What do you think???

I know that nobody wants this things to be happen, but it's a God's will. So sana maging matatag pa tayo, kasi i think this is just the beginning maybe it will happen again, not now but maybe tomorrow, on the next day, next year or whatever. But sana we are all prepared when this things happen again.

Balanga City Karate Do Team:: Kumusta na kaya?

2009-09-15T08:31:00.000-07:00

While i'm browsing my brother's friendster bigla ko naalala ang Pinas, i really miss them so much especially pag araw na ng practice ng Karate.

When we we're young My eldest brother is the one who introduce us this sports. Naalala ko pa habang patago ko silang ginagaya while i'm hiding behind on one of the pillar of the gym, actually hindi tlga xa gym, it's just a small open portion sa harapan ng bahay namin sa bataan.

My kuya was so strict hindi ka pwedeng lumiban sa practice, so all of my brothers are required to attend the practice.

I was so excited one time, tinawag ako ng kuya ko at sinabi nya " o tara saling-pusa ka sa practice" at that point naisip ko wow makakapag karate n rin ako.

Halos sabay kmi ng bunso kong kapatid na nag aral ng karate, so nakakatuwa kasi lahat kami in the family eh sama samang nagpa practice on one sports that we really love.

Nahinto lang ako nagkarate when i get married, actually hindi totally huminto, pero hindi na ako ganun ka active in terms of practice. But once in a while if we have time pumupunta parin kami sa gym para mag practice.

Right now, lagi ko tinatanong sa isip ko, kumusta na kaya ang mga kapatid ko, are they still the same as before??? Hindi ko na alam kung ganun parin sila ka active sa karate, but what i've heard from one of my older brother na continue parin sila.

Pero ang alam ko iba na ang style ng practice nla. Hindi na kagaya ng traditional karate style na itinayo ng kuya ko. Nakakalungkot kasi parang nabalewala na ang pinag hirapan ng kuya namin. Kung pag aaralan ko kasi ang litrato sa profile ng brother ko parang hindi ko na nakikita ang dating pangalan ng gym namin...ngayon tuloy napapaisip ako nakalimutan na kaya nila ang pinag hirapan ng kuya namin na itatag na gym? Sa totoo lang ang kuya ko ang Presidente ng Karate dun sa Bataan, pero ngayon parang nabalewala na siya, siguro dahil hindi na rin xa lagi sa bataan.

Sa mga bro. ko...wag naman sana natin kalimutan ang pinaghirapan ng kuya natin, isipin nyo na lang when we we're young siya ang nagpilit na makatapos ng black-belt para lang maisalin sa atin ang kanyang nalalaman, but now we are old-enough pero para tayong ibon, na nung mga munting pispis pa lang at di pa makalipad umaasa tayo sa ating kapamilya para matutong lumipad, ngunit ngayon na matikas na ang ating mga bagwis parang mas mataas pa tayong lumipad kesa sa nagturo sa atin.

Ang point ko lang, buhayin natin ang itinatag ng kapatid natin. Take note, we are one of the first gym sa bataan, dapat tayo ang sinusundan ng yapak, hindi tayo ang susunod sa yapak ng iba.

Goodbye Tita Cory....

2009-08-05T07:16:00.000-07:00

Hindi lang Pilipinas ang nalungkot sa pagkawala ng isa sa pinaka popular na tao sa Pilipinas, maging dito sa Singapore ay mababasa mo sa mga popular na dyaryo at mga radio station ang pagkamatay ng Ina ng Demokrasya na si Cory Aquino.

Magkahalong lungkot at saya ang naramdaman ko sa pagkawala ng itinuturing na isang ina ng buong pilipinas, Masaya dahil sa hinaba haba ng paghihirap nya sa wakas ay makakapiling na nya ang kanyang asawa at ang lumikha sa ating lahat. Malungkot, dahil sa pagkawala ng isang itinuturing mo nang ina na kahit alam mong hindi ka nya kakilala nandun parin ang pag aalala nya para sa bayan.

I can still recall when i was a young boy, my mama and papa always told me about Cory Aquino, that Cory is the reason why Philippines now is one of the Democratic Country, she is the only president who helps the people to be united in one perceptions and goal - "To have a freedom".

My parents always tell me on how this strong woman fights for the democracy against the former dictator president of the Philippines - Ferdinand Marcos. According to my parents when Marcos was the President you cannot say something against the government, if you fight against his leadership he will exalt you and sent you to jail.

But when Mrs. Aquino's husband died because of assassination by 3 gun men, Mrs. Aquino stands and fight against the Marcos's and on year 1986, Marcos declare to have a snap election, but this election was being manipulated by Mr. Marcos that cause the walk-out of the 30 in-charge in counting.

And because of this, makalipas ang ilang Linggo, dalawa sa mga allies ni Marcos ang humiling na mag resign siya. Actually Cory Aquino was in Cebu that time, bumalik siya sa Manila para pangunahan ang ginawang protesta ng mga taong bayan, at dito na nagsimula ang tinatawag na PEOPLE POWER.

Matapos ang mapayapang pakikipag laban ni Gng. Aquino, nailuklok siya bilang kauna-unahang babaeng presidente ng Pilipinas at ng buong Asya.

Siya rin ang kauna unahang babae na na feature sa Times Magazine bilang "Woman of the Year"

Lahat ng yan ay isa na lamang sa mga magagandang ala ala na naiwan ng mahal na ina ng bayan, and ina ng demokrasya.

Maraming Salamat po, mahal naming Presidente Aquino, kundi dahil sa inyo siguro kami isang ibon paring naka kulong sa hawla ng pulitika!

Sana'y ipagpatuloy ang laban ng mga Pilipino, at wag na hayaang mabawi pa ang kalayaang minsan sa ati'y ipinagkait at muling binawi ng mapag mahal na ina na si "President Corazon Aquino"

Paalam po! Mahal na Pangulo.

Salamat sa Award... Thanks for the Award....

2009-08-03T08:02:00.000-07:00

When i open my blog this evening, i saw on my shoutbox that one of my blogger friend ask me to claim my award, with some curiosity i immediately go to her link just to check what the heck she is talking about And when i check her blog, my eyes was almost dropped when i
saw my name being recognize by her as one of the uplifting blog especially mentioned by her.

But anyway, I just wanted to say "Thank You" from the bottom of my bukong bukong, to Dahlchie for giving me such award "Uplifting Blog Award". For almost 4 years of none-sense Blogging this is my first time to be appreciated by someone who is not so close to me. Well, from now on you will see this award on the left side of my blog as a proof that i really appreciate it.

Maybe she was just uplifted by my contemporary posts, but anyway...Thank you so much girl! I appreciate it.

Somebody Flag my Blog!

2009-07-25T09:07:00.000-07:00

It's such a bad day for me, i didn't know why somebody flag my blog.Is there something wrong with my posts? Did i hurt someone's feeling or did i say something objectionable? Hayy...wish that who ever Flag my Blog remove it. If you feel that i am hurting somebody or my post is attacking or hurting your personality well i'm sorry i didn't intend to hurt you, so to the one who Flag my Blog goodluck!

Anyway hopefully this flag will be removed soon. Hmmp....kwento na nga lang ako!

This afternoon i chat with my wife, since wla kmi mapag usapan she told me this "hon...boring naman kanta na lang ako makinig ka ha"

Since i love my wife no choice ako but to listen her angelic voice na parang nanggagaling sa kailaliman ng kanyang bukong-bukong. Joke lang...hehe...my wife is a good singer actually everytime na kumakanta siya dumidilim ang paligid. hehe i'm just kidding ulit. Seriously speaking my wife has a great voice madalas kami magvideoke when i was still in Philippines.

So while she was singing for me through YM todo ngiti naman ako sa camera kasi baka akalain nya na i'm not listening to her song, so while she was singing i move my head to the beat of her song atleast nakikita nya napapasabay ako sa kanta nya.

Dami nya kinanta kanina...sa sobrang dami i didn't recognize what song she's singin' basta ang natandaan ko lang eh kinanta nya ang aming walang kamatayang You and I, hindi yung kay renz verano ha...ung kay Kenny Rogers Chicken ung kinanta nya.

Sa background i heard my daughter say...uyyyy....na parang nanunukso, we just laugh at her sabay sabi ng wife ko..hmp tama na nga.

So after that song, natahimik na naman kami pareho, well dahil sa wala uling maitopic pinanood ko na lang sila while they are eating there snacks.

Dahil sa sobrang boring at walang mapag usapan we decided to stop and off our each others cam sabay sabing..naku mamaya na nga lang tayo mag usap...boring...

Hayy...wish we have a lot of things to talk to.

Well...it's 12 midnight na...tulugan blues na, wish i was with my wife now. Miss her so much.

It's my Hon's Bday....

2009-07-21T07:20:00.000-07:00

Two years of celebrating her birthday without me on her side...Nakaka miss...but if i really have a way to be with her on her birthday why should i not take that chance, but unfortunately WALA! Kaya here I am...dadaanin sa blog ang greetings ko for my wife.

Message to my wife...::

Hon...How young are you hon? 19? hehe.., Anyway..another year has been added to your life, wish you to have a good health...I know that your facing some health problem right now, but as what i've always said we're here for you...This sounds corny but i really care for you. I know that you old ate AGE but you are still young at HEART!

Hon, sana maging ok na yung health mo i know na nahihirapan ka but the only thing that i can do is to ask the Guy up above to give you a good health...that's the only thing that i can do, and i know he has a heart and He will give you what we wish for.

Just keep on Thanking to the big Guy up above, cos he knows what you need and he knows what you don't. Just keep on moving hon...If you feel that your down and feel so unsure, just pause a seconds and take a deep breathe, but if you really don't know what to do I can offer my hand to hold you and we will walk together, and my shoulder for you to lean on if you feel tired of every problem.

I know that God is Good at hindi ka nya pababayaan... Happy Birthday Hon...and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! And i want the whole world to know that I'm so proud that you are my WIFE!!!

Boss... Chicks???

2009-07-20T06:22:00.000-07:00

Marahil pamilyar ang alok na to kung tga Balanga ka.... If you are walking along the road of Condomart near Balanga Arcade you will hear this offer "Boss Chicks" especially in the middle of the night. Ilang beses na rin ako inalok ng ganitong serbisyo ng mga bugaw in the said area, but i always refuse, sa isip isip ko..."sino ba naman ang papatol sa mga babae na to, eh matanda pa sa nanay ko" Every time na maglalakad ako on the way sa terminal ng tricycle pauwi sa amin halos yan ang madadaanan mo.

I just think...buhay pa kaya ang ganung eksena sa Condomart...After so many years na hindi ako napapadpad dun siguro nman our City Mayor was done his part to clean that area. Before kasi, it looks like a Luneta sa Maynila na pwede ka mamili ng serbisyo ng isang tao para sa personal na pangangailangan.

If you will walk along the Condomart, you will see some group of girls with their bugaw na bading sitting on one dark corner, you cannot see their faces cos it's really dark but you can hear them laughing and talking so loud cguro for them to catch the attention of the people who passes by.

Before i keep on asking myself...did they have a family... anak o asawa, and what are the things that pushed them to do such thing...Actually they can earn for their living without doing such thing. Let say "tumanggap ng labada" kung walang pinag aralan o grade school lng ang tinapos..."mag apply na tindera sa grocery o palengke" siguro naman with that simple task kaya na nila maka survive.

Hmnnn....once i go back to philippines i will try to visit "Condo Mart" kumustahin ko ang mga lola at bading na nag aalok ng "Boss Chicks"

We're 7 years!!!! and we're getting strong!

2009-07-18T06:19:00.000-07:00

Mark it on your Calendar... this 20th day of July 2009 is our 7th Wedding Anniversary. I'm 26 now but still in love with my loving wife. Seven years had past but every words that comes from our heart was still fresh in my mind. I can even clearly recall every promises that we've made to each other during our special day.

This year is the second year na mag celebrate kami ng aming anniversary na malayo sa isa't isa.But even though we're far from each other andun parin ang pagmamahal and the promises that we will love each other till the end of time.

Sometimes in our relationship nagkakaron kami ng mga problema, but my wife and i have a strong faith na malalampasan namin ano mang problema na darating. We always put God on the center of our relationship so no matter how hard or how tremendous our problem is, we are still intact and together and willing to sacrifice for the sake of our relationship.

And after seven years i can still say this to my wife, actually i always say this word to her "Hon... no matter what happen i'm always here for you and for our children".

Happy anniversary Hon... hope we're together to celebrate this special day of our life.

Balanga City - Parenting Training

2009-07-10T22:45:00.000-07:00

Balanga City Mayor Joet Garcia announced the on-going parenting training of day care workers and parents, both husbands and wives, in this city.

Participants in the parenting training are day care workers from the 26 day care centers in this city and selected 30 couples, who are parents of day care students here. The city mayor said parenting program will be taught soon to all parents of day care students in this city. He said the first batch of parents currently undergoing training will in turn train other parents of day care students in effective parental techniques.

Garcia highlighted the importance of effective parenting or child rearing in the first 3 to 12 formative years of children.

The city mayor said the parenting training is being undertaken in coordination with the City Welfare Development Office and in line with the EduChild Program which was introduced last year. Garcia is also considering installing air conditioning units in the city.

Well, this is a good strategy mayor, i admire you and salute you on this program. Actually, mas maganda siguro if the parents that you chose was those who are not good with their children or ung mga magulang na walang pakialam sa mga anak nila o yung mga magulang na minamaltrato ang mga anak, in this case, if you make them treat their children in a right manner mas magiging effective ang programa nyo. You know why? cos in the eyes of their neighbors, kung ang mga taong ito na sinasabing walang pakialam sa anak eh suddenly naging active in raising their children in a right way eh mas magiging effective strategy sila on your program and there's a big possibility na gayahin sila ng mga ibang parents. Well i really don't know if it will works but it's just my opinion and suggestion. Kudos to you Mayor Joet.

Philippine National Bank Balanga Branch :: Mataray ang Teller

2009-06-01T05:53:00.000-07:00

I reached home today at around 7pm Singapore time, i saw my sister cooking and i approach her and ask her whether my sister in Philippines get the money that i've sent last Saturday through PNB- Balanga Branch. Then my sister told me, yes they received it already but my sister is complaining about the teller of the said bank, according to her the teller act like an un-educated person. So i was shocked on what my sister told me and she tell me the whole story.

As what my sister told me, after they receive the money that we've sent to them they tried to do a fund transferring to their another account. Which is they not usually do, coz they only doing withdrawal transaction for most of the time, so what they did they ask the teller who is in charge to them and ask for help.

The teller assist them and check the account to be transferring with, then the teller tell them that, that account is registered to other branch. So my sister say "Impossible because we open it here and we deposited on that account for so many times"

Then the teller say impossible ma'am coz i check it and it was registered to other branch so we need to charge you for transferring if you wanted to.

And after a few talks with the teller the teller entertain the other person besides them without clarifying or giving them a correct details or information, so what my sister did is approach another teller and ask for help for further instruction on regarding the matter.

So when the other teller entertain them, the previous teller who is in charge to them say this.

Ang haba haba na ng sinabi ko hindi na naintindihan...Ano ba yan! with ugly facial expression from her face. Actually they must not act like that, they should not do that and show that kind of attitude not even to my sister but to all of their client.

I don't have any idea why they must act like that, maybe because my sister has a small amount of money to be transfer? I don't want to think those stupid thing but because of the incident what would think why did they do that. Is it maybe because the other client has a big amount to be withdrawn, transfer or whatever?

My point is why did they need to act stupid, that was job actually no matter how slow the customer is they must entertain it with a good heart, cos without this customers they don't have any work to do.

So to that teller, i hope you improve your personality so next time you will not do this thing again.

Biggest Full Moon of the year....

2008-12-12T04:13:00.000-08:00

Mark it on your Calendar, tonight you can see the biggest full moon of the year, according to NASA tonight is the biggest full moon because of the orbit of the moon is ellipse 50,000km from the earth than other and it is more brighter at approximate 30% than normal full moon that we've seen and an additional 14% on its actual diagram.

Since tonight is the biggest full moon of the year, people who are residing near to sea will experience the biggest high tide. Because full moon is affecting the lunar gravity, and this gravity will pull highest water with a few centimeters than normal.

Tonight's moon will be looks like this, see the difference from normal full moon.

Venus...Jupiter...and Moon...form into smiley face!!!

2008-12-04T06:23:00.000-08:00

My friend in Philippines ask me if i saw the formation of the smiley in the dark sky last Monday when the Planet Venus, Jupiter and Moon formed into one and it forms like a smiley face in the sky, it's quite unusual because it is the first time that i've heard this kind of formation.

I think it will only happen once in a hundred or even thousand years, i don't know when is the next time it will happen again, and if will be happen again i hope i can see it with my naked eye.

Almost same incident happen when the Venus cover the Moon last March 2008 and it was really visible in Northern part of America.

Did anybody saw this formation last Monday??? How does it actually looks like? How i wish i'm one of the people who witnesses this once in a life time experience.

I think here in Singapore nobody is able to witness that formation because i don't even read in newspaper or even heard from the radio about this. Maybe all of the people here are not aware about this.

Hope you feel the same way too....

2008-11-28T07:36:00.000-08:00

November is near to end, yet i still have the feeling of loneliness and i feel that some part of me is missing and I cannot determine what it is. Do you think it’s normal? Is it a natural feeling of excitement or I’m just being exaggerated, yah I know I’ll be home this Christmas but i don't know how to explain my feelings, you know the feelings that you wanted to pull the date and set it to the day when was your flight is.

3 Weeks after this post is the schedule of my flight back to my homeland and I cannot wait to that day to see my family specially my wife…my daughter and of course my little boy “Micron”

I remember during this season, me together with my wife and my cute little angel Ashley setting up our Christmas tree at home and wrapping gifts for our friends and love one.

Sometimes when I was alone, I always talk to myself and ask this question….

How are they now…are they missing me too? Are they feeling comfortable without me on their side? Or are they safe from harm?

Those are the questions that keep on playing on my mind whenever I’m alone. And I hope that I will find the answer after I get back home.

I miss them so much…

Holdap to!!!

2008-11-08T03:11:00.000-08:00

Naranasan mo na bang maholdap? Hindi ng mga bilihin sa mga grocery o palengke ang tinutukoy kong holdap at hindi rin ang gasolina sa mga paborito nyong Gasoline station. Totoong holdap ang tinutukoy ko at ito ang naging karanasan ng aking bestfriend sa Pinas.

Here's the story goes....

Pauwi siya sa tinutuluyan niyang plot sa Makati sakay ng isang Van o mas kilala sa tawag na FX. My bestfriend is a good looking guy na lamang lang sa akin ng isang paligo pahabain mo lng ang buhok eh si Jumong na ang maiisip mo. Pero siyempre di ao pahuhuli sa pagka WAFU!....Anyway... let's go back to the story. Galing ang bestfriend ko sa kanyang work as a realstate agent, ewan ko lang kung bakit 3:00am na siya nakauwi that time. Bitbit ang kanyang bag sumakay siya sa isang FX pauwi sa kanyang tinutuluyan, at sa loob kasakay nya doon ang dalawang lalaki na according to him eh "hindi katiwa tiwala ang pagmumukha". While on their way, he didn't feel comfortable with the two guy seated besides him at parang kinakabahan siya sa mga titig ng dalawang lalaki sa kanya...napaisip pa nga daw siya na baka bakla ang dalawa at gusto lang siyang....alam nyo na.... Well..tuloy ang pagtingin sa kanya ng dalawa at sa gitna ng kanilang biyahe nagdeclare ng holdap ang dalawa pinababa siya at tinutukan ng baril, matapang ang bestfriend ko at hindi nagpadala sa kanyang takot, instead he tried to fight back, he kick the gun held by one of the bad guys, tumalsik ang baril at pupulutin nya sana para itutok din sa mga gagong punyemas na walang magawa. He didn't expect na may kasama pa pala ang mga gago na nag aabang lang nakuha nang isa ang baril na tumalsik from the guy at itinutok sa kanya he heard from one of the guy a bullshit words "Pare putukan mo dali putukan mo!!" He has no choice but to run away and leave his things with the bad guys..hayy... that's the end of his one of his unforgettable story sa kamay ng mga holdaper na napagkamalan nyang bading!!!

Reaction lang ha...bakit palala ng palala ang krimen sa pinas lalo na sa kamaynilaan, tlaga bang ganun na katalamak ang kahirapan sa atin at wala na silang maisip na paraan para kumita ng pera? May magagawa ba ang Gobyernong Arroyo at kanyang alipores para masugpo ang ganitong mga pangyayari.

Kung gugustuhin naman ng gobyerno may magagawa sila dahil nasa kanila ang kapangyarihan, kaso ang inaatupag nila eh ang kanilang bulsa at nag iisip paano kikita para sa kanilang sariling kapakanan!!!

Holdap ka na nga sa mga presyo ng bilihin holdap ka parin sa mga taong walang magawa sa buhay.

It's a boy...

2008-10-28T05:34:00.000-07:00

Early this morning I call my wife in Philippines to check her and my baby in her tummy and she says that she's having a labor pain so I asked her to call her dad to accompanied her to the hospital, we just talk for a while 'coz I'm rushing for my work.

Around 10:00 am I call her again and she say that she’s already in the hospital and waiting for her delivery. Nagtatawanan pa kami that time, and both of us are so excited because we’re waiting for it for a very long time.

From the background I heard someone says: “Tatawa tawa ka pa misis, mamaya sigurado ako iiyak ka” I asked her kung sino yung nagsasalita, then sabi nya isa lang daw sa mga nurses dun sa hospital. Then we continue talking until I ask her kung malapit na bang lumabas ung baby namin. She just laugh at me and she say “ Gusto ko na nga hatakin palabas eh” sabay tawa ng malakas ang wife ko. We end up laughing with her situation kasi nman sinabihan dw xa ng doctor nya na maglakad lakad muna dahil dw mataas pa ung bata, kaya ayun nililibot nya ang buong hospital para lang bumaba ang aking baby boy.

After nang pag uusap namin na yon, di ko na alam kung ano pa ang sumunod na nangyari kasi bumalik na ako sa office for my work. Di ako mapakali sa work ko….ikot dito, ikot dun..pindot dito pindot dun…tayo dito, tayo dun... wala ako ginawa kundi tumingin sa orasan dahil gusto ko nang umuwi para makatawag ulit sa Pinas.

At around 6:30 umuwi na ako ng bahay, swerte na lang at inihatid ako ng office mate ko so medyo napabilis ang pag uwi ko. After I reach my home I immediately dialed my wife’s number, then my sister in-law answered, sinabi nya na nasa DR na daw ang dite nya at sinaksakan daw muna nang pampatulog kasi nasobrahan daw sa pagod sa kakalakad. Saglit lang din kaming nag usap ng sister in-law ko dahil wala nman kaming mapag usapan, so sabi ko tawag ako ulit later.

At 7:58 my mother in-law sends an sms to me, sabi nya nakapanganak na daw ang asawa ko and it’s a boy.

I’m so happy at sa wakas nakaraos na ang asawa ko, at siyempre super proud ako sa kanya for giving me such a wonderful gift of all. And I thank God for keeping both of them safe.

Kwento ng isang pinay!

2008-10-24T20:34:00.000-07:00

Minsan sa ating buhay nangangarap tayo ng magandang kinabukasan para sa ating sarili at para sa ating mga mahal sa buhay. May mga tao na naghahangad ng malaking kita para sa ikabubuti ng kanilang pamilya at para sa kanilang hinaharap. Meron ding iniiwan ang sariling pamilya para mangibang bansa para kumita ng mas malaking pera para sa kapakanan ng pamilya.

This is what i want to share to all my readers, isang kwento ng pinay na nagpunta dito sa singapore para sa kanyang anak. Nameet ko ang pinay na ito through my brother. Dumating siya dito sa Singapore dala ang pangarap na matulungan ang kaniyang pamilya at anak sa pag aakalang dito nya matutupad ang pangarap nya para sa kanyang pamilya.

Last week dumalaw siya dito sa bahay para dumalaw at makipagkwentuhan sa aking ate at sa aking mom. At sa pag uusap na ito naungkat ang dahilan kung bakit siya napunta dito sa singapore.

Nabanggit nya na isang Filipino Agent ang naka recruit sa kanya para mag work sa isang restaurant dito sa singapore. Bago pa siya dumating dito nagta trabaho na siya bilang isang manager sa kilala sa ating bansa na JOLLIBEE. Maganda na ang kita nya noon sa pinas, ngunit nang mag offer sa kanya ng malaking halaga kapalit ng pagta trabaho nya dito sa singapore indi na siya nagdalawang isip na pumayag dun sa agent.

Ilang araw lang matapos ang pag uusap na yun lumipad na siya patungong singapore dala ang pangakong magandang oportunidad para sa kanya ng kanyang agent. Pagkarating nya dito sa singapore hindi nya inaakala na ganun ang hirap na daratnan nya, kabaligtaran lahat ng ipinangako ng kanyang agent. Habang ikinikwento nya sa akin ang sitwasyon nya dito bigla ako natahimik at napatingin nlng sa kanya bigla ko nasabi sa isip ko "kawawa ka naman". Sabi nya ang pangako sa kanya ng agent nya ang salary nya dito ay aabot ng 1,500SGD aabot sa halagang 45,000.00 kumpara sa pera natin sa kasamaang palad ang ibinibigay lang sa kanyang sweldo ay 900SGD ibabawas pa nya ang renta sa kanyang tinutuluyan na 300SGD bayad sa agent nya na 300SGD at ang natitirang pera ay ipapadala nya sa kanyang pamilya sa Pilipinas, nagtitira lang siya ng halagang sakto lang sa pamasahe nya sa loob ng isang buwan. Kung iisipin ko, bakit nya daranasin ang hirap na to samantalang maganda ang tinapos nya sa pilipinas at maganda ang trabaho nya. Dumating pa sa punto na naikwento nya sa akin na minsang abutan siya ng last trip ng mga bus dito, wala siyang nagawa kundi lakarin ang kanyang tinutuluyang flat mula sa kanyang trabaho na umabot ng 2 oras na lakad, pagod ka na sa trabaho pagod ka pa sa paglalakad at take note... it was in the middle of the night.

Halos maluha ako nung narinig ko ang kwento nya at sa hirap ng trabaho nya dun sa restaurant na kanyang pinapasukan. Kung titingnan ko nga siya parang ibang iba kumpara noong una ko siyang nakita.

Mahirap talaga magtrabaho sa hindi mo sariling bansa, lalo na kung ang matatapatan mong boss eh di ganun kaganda makitungo sa kanilang trabahador. At dun sa agent nya, sana di nya niloko ang tao pinoy pa naman siya, pinangakuan nya ng malaking sweldo pero kabaligtaran lahat ang nangyari. Nakuha pa nyang sumingil ng malaking halaga sa taong na recruit nya, imagine 9 months siya babayaran ng tao 300$ buwan buwan ang sarap ng buhay nya samantalang ung na recruit nya eh halos sumuka ng dugo sa hirap ng trabaho.

Natapos ang aming pag uusap halos alas diyes na ng gabi at inihatid ko na siya sa bus stop papunta sa kanyang inuuwian.

Sana wala nang ganitong tao na maloloko...nakakaawa, at ang masakit pinoy pa ang nag recruit sa kanya.!!!

Bahay ba ang hanap nyo???

2008-10-21T05:38:00.000-07:00

Marami sa ating mga Pinoy ang nangangarap na magkaroon ng sariling tahanan na mauuwian. Marami din sa atin ang nangangarap hindi lang ng simpleng bahay kundi isang eleganteng tahanan at isa na ako sa milyon milyong Pinoy na naghahangad ng ganyan.

False Alarm!!!

2008-10-04T03:52:00.000-07:00

It was Friday when my wife sends an sms telling me that she's already delivered my second child, I'm kinda surprised well siyempre we're waiting for it for a very long time. Imagine after almost 6 years of waiting, now here she is giving me a baby boy which is every father's wish; to have a baby boy.

Actually, i was having my lunch with my boss and colleagues when my wife tells me that she was gave birth. And I'm kinda excited and i can't help myself to tell it loud and proud in front of my colleagues.

My boss congratulates me, and he asked me to celebrate it. I just replied him with a smile and say..."Thanks sir"

I was so happy and excited that day, and i can't wait to go back home just to tell it personally to my mom and sister.

After my work, I'm rushing to reach home when suddenly my wife call me telling me that it was a JOKE she's just playing trick with me. Actually she really go to hospital because of labour pain, but the doctor tell her that it's not a labour pain and it's just a FALSE ALARM.. her doctor ask her to go home and take a rest.

We end up laughing, but still my excitement is here because i know one of this day she will delivered my second child and it's a BOY!

Pinoy Kahit san dalin pinoy parin!!!

2008-07-26T23:02:00.000-07:00

Bakit nga ba ang Pinoy kahit san mo dalin makikilala mo ang pagiging pinoy....kahit magsalita man sila ng ibang lenggwahe malalaman mo parin kung pinoy o hindi... Sa dami ng nakakasalamuha ko na mga tao dito sa singapore at kahit san ako mapunta eh lagi ako natatawa sa sarili ko pag may nakikita akong pinoy na nagku kwentuhan lagi ko nasasabi sa sarili ko ang pinoy talaga kahit san dalin pinoy parin! Bakit ko nasabi to? kasi ba naman pag may nakita ka na umpok ng tao na nagtatawanan..nagku kwentuhan at may mga bitbit na kung anu-ano...subukan mong lumapit sigurado ako pinoy ito...

Isa rin sa mga napapansin ko sa mga pinoy dito sa Singapore, pag nakasakay ng MRT at may katabi na sabihin na nating amoy putok...pag may nakita ka na nagreact at nagtakip ng ilong wag mo na tanungin sigurado ako pinoy ito...

Bigla ko tuloy naalala ang nangyari sa amin ng ate ko ng umattend kami ng isang party dito sa singapore. Pagdating namin sa lugar, halos wala na bakanteng table na pwede naming pwestuhan, so naki share kami sa isang grupo na may bakanteng upuan at dun kami naupo ng ate ko kasama ng dalawa nyang anak.

Ewan ko ba ang napagkatuwaan ko na pintasan ang mga tao na nandun kabilang na ang mga katabi namin sa upuan.

Nag-usap kami ng ate ko ng ganito

AKO: Ate kala ko mahinhin kumain ang mga chekwa, eh bakit itong katabi natin tingnan mo mula nung dumating tayo naka ilang kuha na yan ng pagkain.

ATE: Pansin ko nga!

Tuloy ang pagkain namin ng ate ko, maya maya tinawag ang anak nya nung kapatid ng asawa nya. Halos ayaw lumapit ng pamangkin ko dun sa taong tumawag dahil mahiyain ang mga pamangkin ko. Bigla ko nasabi sa ate ko ang ganito.

AKO: Tingnan mo tong mga batang to tinatawag ayaw lumapit.
ATE: Hay naku, ewan ko ba sa mga to' buti nga at paborito sila ng mga uncle nila, ayaw naman magsilapit.

AKO: Eh panong di magiging paborito, tingnan mo naman mga pamangkin ng asawa mo, mga walang mata, ang papanget...sabay tawa ako ng malakas. hahahaha...

AKO: Tingnan mo tong anak nung katapat natin, ang panget maputi lang xa.
ATE: Sinabi mo pa..tingnan mo kamukha ng tatay...

Sabay kaming natawa.

Siguro after ng isang oras lumapit sa amin ang isa sa mga kapatid ng asawa ng ate ko, at isa isang pinakilala ang mga bisita sa amin.

Nagulat kaming ipakilala ang lalaki na nasa kasama namin sa mesa at ama ng batang pinintasan namin at sinabihan namin ng malakas kumain.

Isa palang pinoy ang lalaking yun, at di lang nagpapahalata na alam nya ang pinag uusapan namin. Nagkatinginan lang kami ng ate ko at sabay pa naming nabanggit "PINOY KA?"

Grabe talaga ang experience na yun halos di ako makaharap dun sa lalaki na pinintasan ko, ang masama pa asawa rin pala yun ng isa sa mga kapatid ng bayaw ko.

Kaya tuwing maiisip ko yun natatawa na lang ako...atleast natuto ako na di sa lahat ng oras pwede ka mamintas at magsalita ng masakit sa kapwa mo lalo na kung hindi mo kilala ang mga ito.

Hay .... ang pinoy talaga....

Saturday...Araw ng Grocery....

2008-04-11T21:43:00.000-07:00

After a week of hard work and busy days, It's time to look for the things that i and my sister needs to buy, since we don't have a maid anymore to look after the things that we needed at home, my sister is busy doing the list of things that we needed to buy from the grocery. Actually i'm just waiting for her to finish her list, it's just a rush post kasi aalis na kami.

I think we will spend half day at grocery matagal kasi mag grocery ang aking ate eh. As usual we will buy our personal things, foods for 1 week or two, some goodies, clothes pag may nagustuhan na medyo mura.

Today, after we finished, we are planning to watch the "Forbidden Kingdom" ni Jacky Chan and Jet Lee, since favorite naming pareho ang mga bida kaya we will watch that movie. Hayy...How i wish my wife and daughter was here, namimiss ko na kasi ang paglabas namin pag weekends. There was a time, when i saw a happy family going out together, playing joke to each other and doin' some funny things, i can't help myself to think of my daughter, kasi madalas kami magbiruan in public. But i don't have any choice i need to work for her future. Maybe sooner, after i settled everything madadala ko na sila dito sa Singapore. And we hope to stay here for good.

o oh...my sister is keep on calling me...so see yah, till next post. Happy weekends to all bloggers.

I miss blogging...

2008-04-05T05:56:00.000-07:00

I really miss blogging and of course my blogger friends, i miss blog hopping and posting comments in their blog. I don't know the exact reason why or maybe because I'm too busy with my work and some other personal things, that's why i don't have spare time to visit their blogs. And i think this is the time that i have to do some changes and keep updated, and i want to post some new updates about me, myself and i. And of course what's new here in Singapore. Before, i am giving you the latest news about the city of balanga and keeping you updated about some issues and facts that lies behind the beautiful city of balanga, but since Im here now in Singapore, I'll try to give you some hot issue that makes Singapore stands out from other Asian country.

With almost 7 months of my stay here in Singapore, i can say that i am fully adjusted with the environment, foods and people that surrounds me. With that seven months everyday i'm doing the same routine. Everyday of my life i do the following routine:

6:30am my handphone alarm. (wala kasi ako alarm clock)
6:30 - 7:00 still lying on my bed while thinking of what i need to do at the office.
7:00 - Time to bath till 7:30.
7:30 - 7:50 eating breakfast (optional)
7:50 - 8:00 Take a walk to MRT Station, byahe hanggang 8:10
8:10 - 8:20 Waiting for the BUS 183 (ito lang kasi ang bus na dumadaan sa office, kaya pag na late ako sa routine na to, i need to wait for another 20 minutes for the next bus.
8:30 - expected time to reach the office, meron pa ako 30 minutes kasi 9:00 ang start ng work ko.
8:30 - 8:55 Drink Hot Milo at the canteen together with my colleague
9:00 - start of my busy day, doing sample for client, doing the production for existing projects, and some other things.
1:00 - 1:45 LUNCH BREAK
1:45 - 6:00 Busy ulit.

Before 6:25, i need to leave the office kasi ang Bus 183 eh dadaan ng 6:25. But sometimes i need to spend more time at the office if i have something to finish. Masarap sa office, because asides from "Mababait ang office mate ko" super bait din ng boss ko.

Usually i reach home around 7:00 - 7:30, from that time, i need to settle my personal things, dinner, etc. 8:30 Mag online, and chat with my wife until 10:00.

After that, TULOG TIME na!

Hayy...that's the end of my day, ganyan umiikot ang buhay ko dito sa singapore. Masarap na mahirap pero kakayanin for the sake of FAMILY.

Bukas ganyan ulit. Same things same routine.

A new me!!! from Balanga to Singapore

2008-01-06T00:42:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time since my last post!!! Hayyy ang bilis ng panahon, di ko namalayan na 3 months na pala ako wala sa Balanga. I can still remember my first step here in Singapore halos nangangapa ako sa dilim dahil first time ko mag abroad at malayo sa Family ko. In 3 months halos araw araw ko ginawang busy ang sarili ko para di maramdaman ang lungkot na nararamdaman, buti na lang I ove and enjoy my work that's why i can easily moved on. Yes!!!masayang masaya ako dahil lumipas ang 3 months ng ganun kabilis. Sa katunayan uuwi ako ng Pilipinas this coming February para magbakasyon sana matuloy hehehe...

First time ko mag celebrate ng Christmas na wala sa aking myluvs (yan ang tawag ko sa asawa ko) at sa aking baby (yan ang tawag ko sa anak ko). Niloloko nga ako ng ate ko nung kausap ko ang mag ina ko sa telepono, wag na raw ako mahiya na punasan ang luha ko. Sa totoo lang halos bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko kasi sobrang na miss ko sila ng mga sandaling yon. Pero wala ako magagawa para sa kanila naman to eh, kaya titiisin ko na lang. Hindi ko na napigilan na napaluha nung kausapin ko ang baby ko at sinabi nya sa akin "Papa i miss you" para bang kinurot ang puso ko at wala ako nasabi. Inulit nya ulit ang sinabi nya "Papa...sabi ko i miss you" natawa na lang ako at sinabi ko "I miss you too baby" para hindi nya mahalata na naiiyak ako dinaan ko na lang sa biro at tinanong ko kung ano handa nila.

Natapos ang Christmas at New Year na tanging Internet at Phone lang ang nagiging communication namin. At this moment medyo naka adjust na ako, siguro dahil sa araw araw na hindi ko sila nakakasama eh nasanay na rin ang sarili ko na hindi ko sila nakikita. Iniisip ko na lang na nasa school ang anak ko, at ang wife ko eh nasa bahay at ako eh nasa work at uuwi rin naman.

Batang Balanga sa Singapore!

2007-09-23T00:46:00.000-07:00

September 18 - isa sa malulungkot na araw sa buhay ko..bakit? dahil ito ang araw kung kelan ako lumipad patungo ng Singapore para mag trabaho. Iniwan ko ang family ko para makipag sapalaran dito sa Singapore. Tanda tanda ko pa ang mga pangyayari bago ako umalis ng bansa. Day before ako umalis sinabi ko sa sarili ko na kaya ko to! at gagawin ko to para sa family ko. Nasa work pa ako nun nang sabihin sa akin ng kapatid ko na umuwi daw ako ng maaga para nman ma enjoy ko ung huling oras na kasama ko family ko..ang aking asawa at anak. Pero di ako umuwi ng maaga dahil tinapos ko kung ano ang trabaho ko at ayaw ko iwan ang trabaho ko nang ganun na lang. So i just got home around 7pm. On my way home i really feel sad, because this is the first time na malalayo ako with my family, especially from my wife and my daughter.

Before my flight schedule, wednesday morning...nagpunta kami ng asawa at anak sa parents ko. Sobra ako nalungkot nun pero ayaw ko ipakita sa kanila na mahina ako, i just wanted to prove them na kaya ko kung ano man ang naging desisyon ko. My mama cries when i say "Ma, alis na po ako..ingat kayo dito ha" She hugs me and she says mag-iingat ka dun ha... at tumuloy na ako sa sasakyan na maghahatid sa akin sa Airport kasama ang asawa at anak ko.

Sa sasakyan, ramdam ko ang pressure..magkahalong kaba, tuwa at lungkot ang aking naramdaman, then i ask my daughter. Ashley anak...mami miss mo ba si papa..(she didn't reply anything) and she hug me so tight at sinabing "papa i love you" halos maiyak ako nung nagpaalam siya sa akin, wala akong sinayang na sandali and i give her a big hug. Ang wife ko naman ayaw magpahalata na nalulungkot siya, tumabi siya sa akin, and she put her head on my shoulder and she say's "I love you myluvs" and i replied her with a smile (saying that i really love her too).

Pagdating namin sa airport, 2 hours kaming naghintay sa labas bago ang flight ko, at exactly 3:00 pumasok na ako sa loob ng airport para mag check-in, sa loob naghintay ako hanggang 5:00 para sa flight ko.

9:15 lumapag ang eroplano dito sa Singapore, at ngayon halos 4 days na ako dito sa Singapore, at hanggang ngayon eh under adjustment parin ako sa lahat. Ngayon ko napatunayan na iba parin pala ang PILIPINAS!

Balanga City News :: Henry's Lechon Owner Murder Case

2007-08-01T17:34:00.000-07:00

July 31, 2007 - Isa sa pinaka sikat na Lechon House dito sa Balanga City ang Henry's Lechon, na sa kasamaang palad ay nagtapos ang kanyang buhay sa napakasakit na paraan. Ayon sa kwento nagtamo ng 17 saksak sa katawan at 1 saksak ng kawayan sa kanyang mukha ang biktima na ikina sanhi ng kanyang kamatayan.

Iba't ibang anggulo ang tinitingnan ngayon, ayon sa kwento kwento umaga ng araw na napatay si Henry Zabala (may ari ng lechon house) may nakatalo ito na isang lalaki sa kanyang tindahan na nakabili ng aso sa kanya at nais ng nakabili na isauli ang aso at ibalik ang pera, ngunit hindi naibalik ng biktima ang pera at sinabihan yung nakabili na mag antabay lang sandali, siguro may iniintay na pera ang biktima kaya nya sinabing maghintay lamang sandali. At hindi na nalaman pa ang mga sumunod na pangyayari.

Isa pa sa tinitingnang anggulo ang kanyang mga tauhan, may mga nagsasabing madalas maltratuhin ng may ari ng Lechon House ang kanyang mga tauhan, at madalas ding pag taasan ng boses. Maraming nagsasabi na hindi ganun kaganda makitungo sa kanyang mga tauhan ang nasabing may-ari ng lechon house. Pero ano nga ba ang motibo ng mga taong ito bakit nila nagawa ang ganung bagay, doon pa mismo sa taong nagbibigay sa kanila ng makakain at trabaho.

Ayon sa kwento gabi ng July 31, nang magtalo ang may ari ng lechon house at ang kanyang tauhan, siguro dala ng pagtatalo hindi na nila napigilan ang kanilang mga sarili at doon na naibuhos ang kinikimkim na galit sa kanilang amo. Napag alaman ko rin na nilumpo muna ang may ari ng lechon house, bago ito tuluyang marahil ang palo ng maso sa kanyang ulo ang dahilan ng kanyang kamatayan. Naisugod pa sa St. Joseph Hospital ang nasabing biktima ngunit hindi na ito nailigtas pa.

Kung ano man ang kanilang motibo sa kanilang ginawang pagpatay eh Diyos lang ang nakakaalam. At kung sino man ang tunay na pumatay nawa'y usigin ng kanyang konsensya at sumuko na sa batas.

Balanga City :: Looking fore new member of city marshal

2007-07-13T06:55:00.000-07:00

Wednesday July 11, lots of applicants are waiting at the city plaza for the screening and acceptance of application of city marshals. Well, what is this so called marshal; Marshal, is an officials that serves the society to maintain the Peace and Order all over their respective areas. As a marshal, kelangan mong ipatupad kung ano ang batas, and ofcourse you must know how to follow the rules of being a marshal and you must know what are the consequences of being a member of the marshal, hindi mo dapat abusuhin ang posisyon na ibibigay sayo ng gobyerno.

I hope that these coming members of City Marshal will act as a model for the youth, at sana rin hindi kayo kagaya ng mga Marshal ng nakaraang administrasyon. I’m not saying this, dahil sa ayaw ko sa dating administrasyon, I am saying this because I’ve seen many marshals violating the rules and not doing their job according to what they had to do, hindi lang mga marshal even the Traffic Enforcer na nagpapatupad ng batas sa daan, eh sila mismo ang hindi marunong tumupad sa batas na ipinapatupad nila. Wake up; what’s wrong with you people!

Sana this time, all our city marshal will do their job on a right way, at sana wala ako makitang marshal na nasa loob ng internet café at naglalaro ng counter strike. At sana wala akong makitang marshal na pinaglalaruan ang pulubi sa daan para lang malibang. Just do your job! You ask for that position, so you must act in a proper way, and be an officer of the society, not an officer by chance.

Wake up city of Balanga!

Inaguration of the new City Mayor of Balanga

2007-07-04T16:59:00.000-07:00

July 2, Monday the new city mayor of balanga Jose Enrique “Joet” Garcia III, took his inaugural speech at the city plaza, many supporters of the Garcia's came to witness his inaugural speech, and to listen to what are their plans and preparation for the improvement and changes that they we're talking about during the campaign period.

After the May 14 polls, he defeated his opponent Melanio "Boying" S. Banzon, former mayor of this city for 3 years, by more than 7,000 votes, Mayor Joet Garcia climbed up the stage with his wife to recite his prepared speech.

After his speech Joet Garcia marched together with other city officials to the People’s Center to witness his father’s and elder brother’s inductions.

Another three(3) years will possibly passed, and we are looking forward for the changes that your talking about. I know that you will do your best to make this city as one of the most cleanliness and crime-free city all over the country. As what you've said during your campaign you're always talking to people this word "Ibalik ang Sigla sa Lungsod ng Balanga" I hope this time we will have that so called "SIGLA" it would be great if you will act like your brother Congressman Albert "Abet" S. Garcia who gives the real essence of being a city all over the years.

"Sana ay maramdaman namin ang Sigla sa lungsod ng Balanga" this would be the theme of the people of the city of Balanga.

Balanga City :: Under the new leadership

2007-06-02T16:42:00.000-07:00

After the long run election, Joet Garcia won the mayorial position against Melanio Banzon the former Mayor of Balanga City. But before the end of counting of ER's iba't ibang reaksyon from both parties ang maririnig nyo. Well that's part of the game, if you LOST sinasabi dinaya ka, and if you WIN they say na nandaya ka, i think this is one of the culture of the Filipinos Dinaya or Nandaya or whatever, but the important thing is makatulong ka sa bayan mo especially if you are on a role of being a Mayor. Althoug Boying Banzon is not that bad when he is the mayor, isa lang masasabi ko sa kanya he is a very old fashion Mayor i've ever seen. Kasi naman lahat ng iniwan na kasiyahan ni Mayor Abet Garcia which is now the Congressman of 2nd district here in Bataan eh nawala when he become the Mayor of Balanga. For instance the yearly celebration of Street Dancing, before kasi when Congressman Abet was our City Mayor super ganda ng street dancing at talagang dinadayo even by the tourist. Pero nung umupo na si Boying Banzon unti unti nang nawalan ng saysay ang Street Dancing, actually this last Fiesta of Balanga we don't have that yearly street dancing competition. Well let's face the truth Mayor Banzon is old fashion kaya nya inalis ang mga kasiyahan ng kabataan.

And now under the new Mayor, tingnan natin if there is any changes in lifestyle here in Balanga City, tingnan natin ang mga ipinangako nya during the campaign period, they say that bigyan lang daw sila ng isang term eh mararamdaman na ng lungsod ng balanga ang pagbabago. That's not bad, tingnan natin kung anong pagbabago nga ang sinasabi nya.

Since it's almost two weeks after Joet Garcia proclaimed as the city Mayor, meron na nga ako nakitang konting pagbabago. I am expecting a lot from him, and let me see what he can do this coming years under ileadership.

Goodluck for the new city mayor of Balanga, Mayor Joet Garcia, although may mga nagsasabi na hindi maganda ang epekto ng DYNASTY tingnan parin natin kung ano ang magagawa ng Tatay ay Gobernador, Panganay ay Congressman at bunso ay Mayor. We the people of Balanga are expecting for many changes here at our beloved city, and that changes will start NOW!

Balanga City Fiesta Preparation

2007-04-25T20:26:00.000-07:00

A week long celebration of the City Fiesta was started last Sunday, it started with the Live Band from Manila, and some celebrities like Joseph Bitangcol, EB Babes and Ms. Pauline Luna of Eat Bulaga, and hosted by two stand up comedian from Zirco and Clowns. All Balanguenos are truly excited with the celebration, because aside from being part of the week long celebration the sponsors (The De Guzman Groups of Companies) are given away Gift Certificate for all Balanguenos who join the contest provided by Jollibee, Greenwhich and other company of De Guzman Groups of Companies.

After the Fireworks presentation at the City Plaza, it follows with the Street Dancing Competition, na lalo pang pinasaya ng mga makukulay na kasuotan.

Balanga City :: Holyweek (Traditional Sinakulo)

2007-04-05T21:17:00.000-07:00

The Holy week celebration, particularly Good Friday, is a display of devoutness and traditional pomp or yung tinatawag nating pinitencia. As part of our tradition and belief, marami sa ating mga filipino ang nagpupunta sa iba't-ibang lugar just to ask for forgiveness of their sin and to thank God for his sacrifices just to redeem our sins. Naging panata na rin ng mga deboto ang iba't ibang gawain kagaya ng "Pagpapako sa Krus", Pagulong, at iba pa.

At kagaya nga ng aking nakaugalian, yearly me and my family are spending some time para lang mapanood ang "SINAKULO" na ginaganap sa mismong PLAZA NG BALANGA, Medyo matagal din kaming naghintay sa pagdating ng mga gumaganap sa sinakulo, but our long time waiting is replenish with excitement and fun, when the "SINAKULO" was arrived. Hindi na namin pansin ang init ng araw at siksikan ng mga tao, dahil lahat kami ay nalilibang sa panonood ng re-enactment ng pagpapahirap kay Jesus Christ noong panahong siya ay pinapahirapan ng mga Hujo.

Pinitencia (Pagpapadugo)

I uploaded video of the actual footage during the "Sinakulo" Here is the Link

Hostage Drama - Manila Philippines

2007-03-28T07:28:00.000-07:00

After the hostage drama held early this morning at the Manila City Hall; our country are on the center of discussion in every part of the world this is after the hostage taking of Mr. Jun Ducat to the 32 Day Care Students and Two teachers of Parola Tondo Manila together with the other two guys.

According to Deogracias Bugaran (Driver of the Hot Car that used during the hostage taking) while they are on their way to Tagaytay the hostage taker told him to stop for awhile at the Manila City Hall to pick up the other two Councilor who will accompanied with them during the tour. When the bus are totally stop at P. Burgos in front of Monument of Bonifacio which is beside the City Hall, the bus driver ask for permission to take a cigarette, but after he totally leave the bus, he heard Mr. Ducat telling him that this is a Hostage and he did not waste any single time but to leave the children to Mr. Ducat.

At exactly 9 o'clock in the morning the hostage taker post a message in front of the Wind Shield of the Bus telling the people that they are taking the 32 Students and 2 Teachers as their hostage. The hostage taker Jun Ducat asked the Media to give a call to Senator Revilla and he wanted to talk to him regarding the demands asked by Jun Ducat. The negotiation last for almost 30 Minutes and after that Mr. Revilla come out and he says that the hostage taker wanted to took the attention of the government and he just wanted to ask for help for the poor people, and he insist that he just doing this just for the poor people who needs Education, Shelter Foods and other demands.

Marami ang nagulat sa ipinahayag ni DUCAT nang mabigyan ito ng pagkakataon na ihayag ang kanyang mga hinaing. And one of his statement says "HUWAG IASA ANG KINABUKASAN SA MGA PULITIKO. Sa mga pulitikong walang ginawa kundi MANGAKO! Sa mga pulitikong napakalaki ng ginagastos sa kampanya…sa mga pulitikong magkakamag-anak.

There are so many things that he wanted to let us know, and he wanted us to become aware on different crisis that we are facing right now, one of this is the corruption, poverty and the political crisis.

Kung tutuusin, ang demands - edukasyon, pabahay at lupa, ng hostage-taker ay palasak na dahil matagal na itong problema sa bansa. Besides, hindi ito nalulunasan sa kabila ng kaliwa’t kanang panawagan ng iba’t ibang sektor ng Gobyerno.

Maganda ang layunin ni DUCAT pero mali ang paraan na kanyang napili para mahayag sa buong mundo ang hindi nasosolusyunang problema ng bansa. Kaawa-awa naman ang mga inosenteng bata na isinusulong niyang makapagtapos lahat ng kolehiyo lalo na kung humantong sa hindi inaasahan ang pangyayari.

Sa kabilang banda, kung hindi ganito ang kanyang naging aksiyon, may MAKIKINIG nga ba sa kanyang hinaing? Sa naganap kasi, nakatutok hindi lamang ang mamamayang Pinoy o mga pulitiko sa kanyang ginawa kundi maging ang mga tao sa buong mundo.

Do you really love your country?

2007-03-09T22:03:00.000-08:00

While surfing the net i've seen this post at one blog (no need to mention it) while reading this letter i feel the truth beyond the election, the truth that all political candidates are using their power in their own aspects.

Dear Fellow Filipino,

Good day to all of you! Before I begin my letter... just a disclaimer, for people who know me they know that I love the Philippines very much and I am not really one who rants and complaints to high heavens about what is happening to our country and does nothing about it, in fact, I feel that at my relatively young age of 27, I have done much service to the Philippines by setting up Pathways to Higher Education which has sent more than 500 poor but deserving students to college and AHON Foundation which has already built two public elementary school libraries that have benefitted more than 3,500 students. Yet, after seeing how events in our nation have transpired the past few weeks and talking with some friends, I feel the urge to share with you my own thoughts and feelings.

Over the weekend, we saw the completion of two major political alliances for this coming Senate Elections that has just began here in the Philippines . Now we have two political forces with familiar faces nonetheless on opposite sides of the fences. On one end, you have Tito Sotto and Tessie Aquino-Oreta who were two major stalwarts of the opposition and the FPJ Campaign in 2004 hobnobbing with the woman (Pres. GMA) whom they claimed to have cheated FPJ in the last Presidential Elections.On the other side of the fence, you see Manny Villar, the former house speaker who was actually responsible for impeaching Erap now part of the United Opposition who is led by no less than... Erap himself. Now if you don't see anything wrong with this picture then you must be one of the many Filipinos who have accepted this very sad reality that there is indeed no permanent ideals that our government leaders stand up for but rather they just go where there self-interests can best be served. It is this kind of politics why I no longer wonder why good people like Ramon Magsaysay Awardee Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City or outstanding Bulacan Governor Josie Dela Cruz will find it hard or worse, never be elected to national positions.

It is with these in mind that I'd like to share with you what are events this coming May elections that will make me consider leaving the Philippines :

1.) If former COMELEC Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano of Hello Garci fame wins in his bid to become Congressman of Bukidnon...seeking to replace a good man no less in incumbent Cong. Neric Acosta... We would really be the laughing stock of the whole world if we allow a man with the reputation of Garci to be one of our so called "Honorable Gentlemen".

2.) If Dancing Queen Tessie Aquino Oreta reclaims her seat at the Senate... I hope that all of us would still remember that dance that she did during the 2001 impeachment hearings after they voted to overrule the decision of then Chief Justice Davide... let us make sure that people like her never make it to the Senate again.

3.) If Richard Gomez becomes a senator... what does he know about making laws? We already have the likes of Bong Revilla and Lito Lapid in the Senate and their performance or lack of it would be reason enough not to elect another actor who has no prior experience in government to the distinguished halls of the Senate.

4.) If Gringo Honasan wins again.... have we not learned our lesson? I cannot believe that just because someone is charismatic then we will just elect him to become one of our senators despite the fact that he has time and again caused so much instability in our country... if we want a military junta similar to that of Thailand ... then lets all vote for this guy....

5.) If Manny Pacquiao becomes Congressman of General Santos City... everybody loves Manny the Boxing Champ but Manny the Lawmaker? Lets be realistic here, Manny is our Hero alright but I think it takes more than just great boxing skills and a desire to serve to be able to make appropriate laws that would help uplift the lives of the many Filipinos who live in Poverty.

6.) If Lito Lapid wins for Mayor of Makati City... I don't like Jojo Binay as well but Lito Lapid as city mayor of the country's finance and business center?!?! And do you really think he is from Makati and has good plans for the city? The Arroyos asking someone like him to run just goes to show you how much love and concern this government has for our country.

7.) If Chavit Singson becomes a Senator, Illegal Gambling = Chavit... enough said.

Now if all of these 7 things happen during this coming elections then don't be surprised if I decide to leave this country that I love dearly. Like I said during the first part of my letter, I feel that I have done much for this country but I think its time that Filipinos become more vigilant and critical in selecting our leaders for the sake of our future and the generations that will go beyond us. So I appeal to every Filipino who asks what can I actually do for my country... Choose and vote for the right people this coming elections, huwag na tayong magpaloko sa mga kandidatong maganda lang ang jingle o gwapo lang sa mga poster. Let us choose leaders who have a good track record for service and who are genuinely committed towards serving our country.

Manindigan naman tayong lahat para sa ating Kinabukasan at para sa Kapakanan ng ating Bayan!

Thank you very much for your time in reading this letter.

Sincerely,

Harvey S. Keh

Britney Spears, a pair of tattoo and a bunch of shave head

2007-02-19T07:26:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears fans are shocked with her new hair style, this is after she go to her hair stylist and asked her stylist to shave her head, due to doubt that Britney Spears are just kidding, her stylist refuse her request, and after that Britney Spears grabbed the clipper and shaved her head with herself.
After that shocking hair style, Britney Spears are caught by one of the Los Angeles Television videographer and grabbed a video of her on a tattoo parlor. She was there to get a couple of tattoo on her wrist, a pair of pink and red lips. According to US Magazine, Ms. Spears got a black, white and pink cross tattooed on her lower lips, for whatever purpose she's the only who knows why.
A parlor employee said Spears showed up unannounced and stayed for about 90 minutes, while dozens of fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.
The employee told US Magazine that Spears was agitated when she arrived at the tattoo parlor and that when someone asked her why she shaved her head, Spears said, “I don’t want anyone touching me. I’m tired of everybody touching me.”

The woman said Spears “wasn’t making sense at all” and that it seemed like she wasn’t in a good place. She said Spears was “totally freaking out.”

“She was a nightmare to deal with,” the woman told the magazine. “She was screaming and flipping out from the pain and wiggling her body all around.”

Police eventually arrived to control the crowd and help Spears’ bodyguards guide her into a waiting SUV. And by that time, she had covered her head with the hood of a sweatshirt.
As for the new bald look, one fan who’s not terribly thrilled said, “It looks terrible.”
Earlier in the week, Spears checked into a rehabilitation facility and then quickly checked out, People Magazine reported.

People reported that the pop diva checked herself into Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre in Antigua but left after one day.
Meanwhile, an e-mail on Tuesday from Spears’ former assistant said the pop star needs to get her act together because she is headed for “rock bottom.”

Since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November, Spears has drawn criticism for her drinking, partying and sloppy appearance.

In her e-mail, Culotta said that Spears’ family and close friends are trying to help her. Culotta said she is now working as a corporate flight attendant and living in Mississippi.

According to the famous psychiatrist in Los Angeles, if Britney Spears continue her unexplained mental behavior, there is a possibility that the incident that happen to Nicole Anne Smith will be soon her destiny, and soon it will cause the end of her career.

A poem for you

2007-02-01T14:58:00.000-08:00

Since the valentine is near to come, i think its the right time to share something new with my blog, here's a poem of true love, hope you'll like it.

I felt the urge to put my feelings in writing
Because being with you was really exciting
You are my eternal sunshine
You are my true valentine

Meeting you was like winning the grand prize
but I definitely choose you, above a sum of any size
Words cannot express
What I felt when you said 'yes'

We met each other, some time ago
It was the first time we said 'Hello'
I anxiously await our time ahead
For now, I keep dreaming of you instead

I hope we make it, I hope it will be fast
I hope the moment forever lasts
This poem has come to an end
See you soon, my dearest friend

Mayor Boying Banzon...Impeach??? Election nga naman...

2007-01-29T14:27:00.000-08:00

Election na naman... Election is yet to come, but we really feel the presence of it in everywhere we go, like for example, a politician who congratulate a board passer, doing projects in any in a barangay, house to house visit etc. etc...and any other election paraphernalia. Here at the city of Balanga in the province of Bataan, our city mayor Melanio "Boying" Banzon, are getting involved into another issue in politics, yesterday before i go to work, many people were shouting "We love you Mayor Boying!" and medias are also present, so due to my curiosity i stop for awhile and take a look for what are happening that day, then i saw a banner which is written by this "Patalksikin si Boying Banzon". May mga nagsasabing nandaya daw si Mayor Banzon last election.... may mga nagsasabing walang nangyaring dayaan nung nakaraang election, pero kung ano man ang totoo walang nakakaalam.

A media came to ask Mr. Banzon, "Mayor ano po ang masasabi nyo sa pangyayaring ito?" then Mayor Banzon says "eh(tatak ng pagiging balangueño laging may word na "eh") kung ano man ang magiging desisyon ng comelec well... igagalang natin yun noh! at kung idisisyon nila na pababain ako wala tayo magagawa but to give the people what they want".... so ibig sabihin mo nito mayor bababa kayo sa pwesto? "Oo bababa ako kung yan ang desisyon at sana maging fair ang comelec sa kanilang desisyon...

after that conversation napaisip ako, bakit kaya ngayon lang naungkat ang ganito, if ever nga na nandaya si Mayor Banzon, eh bakit ngayon lang sila umapila bakit ngayon na malapit na ang halalan, hindi kaya may bahid pulitika ang mga pangyayaring ito, well no one knows kung ano ang totoo. Nandaya man o hindi basta ipinapatupad ang batas ang tumutulong para mapaunlad ang bayan ok na yun ang mahalaga sa atin patuloy na umuunlad ang siyudad ng balanga. But in fairness to Mr. Banzon i salute him for saying that he would take down the crown of being mayor once the comelec tell him to do so. I salute you mayor banzon.. although hindi ako maka Banzon saludo parin ako sa pinakita mong katapangan.

Balanga City Sex Scandal

2006-11-19T03:31:00.000-08:00

Weeks ago, the city of Balanga are getting into big scandal when one of its Mutya title holder are getting involved into sex video scandal. The former Mutya ng Balanga 1st Runner up, caught by video having sex with her boy lover, maraming nagtataka kung bakit nagawa ng isang estudyante ang ganung bagay, maybe its because of their sex trip or they were into drugs (what do you think)... After i heard that issue, nagtanong tanong ako sa mga kaibigan ko if they have a copy of that video, nangiti sa akin ang kaibigan ko sabay kuha ng kanyang cellphone, halos matawa ako sa nakita ko, sabay tanong ko sa kanya... siya ba yan..ung dating mutya... my friend smiled at me and say.. "Try mo tingnan sa website ng mutya ng balanga" hindi na ako nagdalawang isip at sabay click sa internet explorer at nagbrowse sa website ng balanga...napa shit na lang ako ng makita ko ung picture hindi pa ako nasiyahan at tiningnan ko pa siya sa friendster para mas sigurado ako, and the only word that comes from my mouth is Pu%&#ng I^a siya nga... naawa ako sa kanya kasi feeling ko napakababa na ng pagkatao nya sana tulungan natin siya... by deleting her sex video kapag napasa sa mga cellphone natin to... Balita ko she stop her studies na maybe because nahihiya siya everytime na titingnan siya ng iba at sabay tatawa na para bang nang-aasar... kayo ano sa tingin nyo maganda gawin ng naiinvolved sa ganitong issue... suggestion naman oh...

Dumating na siya.... salamat naman...

2006-10-30T01:50:00.000-08:00

After two months of being confine from the hospital my niece Jonabell are now here at the City of Balanga to have some rest, after i finish this article, i'm goin' to the place kung san siya magpapagaling, i'm just thinkin' kung ano na itsura nya??? kasi from the last time that i saw her eh sa litrato lang.... malabo pa kasi kuha lang sa cellphone. Magkahalong lungkot at saya ang nararamdaman ko... happy cause after two months na nakahiga lang siya sa kama eh makikita nya na rin ang mga mahal nya sa buhay na umaasa na gagaling pa siya from that illness, malungkot kasi hindi ko alam kung hanggang kelan na lang ang itatagal ng kanyang buhay... cause at her age maybe we're not well prepare sa mga mangyayari kasi naman she's too young to suffer from that illness, sana eh pagdating ko dun ok lahat ng maabutan ko.... Post ko na lang ulit kung ano man ang makikita ko mamaya...

Whose am i gonna blame???

2006-10-23T04:11:00.000-07:00

After the death of my great grandfather another torments came, i still remember what my niece Jonabell told me when they came here to balanga just to spend their summer vacation last summer... one month after their vacation bumalik sila sa zambales to continue their studies sabi pa ng mama ko.."Bong (name of my kuya) bakit di mo na lang dito pag-aralin yang mga bata tutal eh nandito na rin lang kayo", naiiyak pa si Jonabell habang sinasabi nya sa kuya ko ang ganito "oo nga papa... dito na lang po kami mag-aaral" pero matigas ang kuya ko at sinama nya pa rin ang mga pamangkin ko to zambales to continue their studies. Once in a while kinukumusta namin sila and if we have time bumibisita kami sa zambales siyempre to check them if they're still fine at kung kumusta na ang pag-aaral nila. last July nabalitaan namin na nagkasakit si Jonabell we try to contact her to confirm kung ano ang lagay nya, napilit namin na umuwi muna sila dito para mai pa check up si Jonabell, we've just heard from the doctor na nagkaron ng crack ang buto ni Jonabell, hindi kami makapaniwala sa naging resulta ng examination, pilit naming inalam kay Jonabell kung may nangyari sa kanya during their sports fest isa kasing player ng volleyball at ng taekwondo si Jonabell, nalaman namin na during the competition eh medyo masama ang bagsak nya sa semento siguro yun ang naging dahilan kung bakit nagkaroon ng crack ang buto nya sa kanyang baywang, after a week medyo ok na ang naging condition ni Jonabell at pinayagan na ulit namin siya na bumalik sa zambales para magpahinga... the doctor tell to take some rest to bring back the damaged bone into normal, two weeks ago my Kuya Bong text my sister and he told my sister that my niece Jonabell was being confined at Olongapo City Medical Center, siyempre when my sister receive the text hindi nya malaman ang gagawin nya and she told everything to my Papa. Halos mabagsakan kami ng langit at lupa when my kuya tell us everything at napag alaman namin na may Malignant Bone Cancer na ang pamangkin ko, my parents feel hestirical siyempre hindi nila expected na at the young age of 14 eh magkakaron ng ganong sakit ang pamangkin ko,... which is sabi nila eh wala na daw pag-asa na gumaling pa but we didn't lose hope cause i know that God is Good and he's always there to guide my niece. Right now she's on East Avenue Medical Clinic at Manila Philippines at dun siya nagpapagamot... ang problema hindi ko alam kung papaano ko sila tutulungan, gusto ko man sila tulungan eh wala ako magawa cause I'm just an ordinary person na wala din namang pagkukunan ng malaking halaga para maitulong sa kanila...

I need your help guys... para maoperahan ang pamangkin ko... sana tulungan nyo ang pamangkin ko financially... salamat.... let's save her life... marami pa siyang pangarap na gusto ko rin matupad at yun eh mangyayari lang sa tulong nyo at siyempre ng Diyos...

Death of the one you LOVE!!!

2006-10-15T17:42:00.000-07:00

It's a common feeling for every one of us who’s being left by the one we love, a feeling of sorrow and loneliness. On the sixth day of October 2006, my great grandfather was died due to his poor health, suffered from being stroke for almost eight years. Although we’re well prepared sa mga nangyari, hindi pa rin maiaalis ang mapaluha, cause by our sincere feelings of longing.
Before the death of my Tatang Dandoy, he whispered me this… “Arvin… tawagin mo ang asawa mo sabihin mo kontakin ang mommy mo at umuwi na ng Pilipinas” biniro ko pa ang Tatang Dandoy ko… “Tatang naman…..”, maybe that’s the sign that he would leave us pero hindi ko inisip agad yun binalewala ko lang at sa halip eh I left him on my wife then I go for work. At seven in the evening I got arrive from work and I didn’t give Tatang a check if he’s still fine, sabi ko pa nga sa sarili ko…. “ok lang siguro si Tatang tutal dyan na naman ilan sa mga anak nya… at eight I eat my dinner prepared by my wife Chatty… and after that we took some rest and we go to sleep… at hindi ko naisip na iyon na pala ang huling araw sa buhay ng tinatawag naming “Tatang”, dun ko naisip na bakit hindi ko sinilip man lang si Tatang sa kanyang kinahihigaan…. Sana nakapagpasalamat man lang ako sa mga tulong nya sa amin… I can’t help myself , at hindi ko namalayan na pumapatak na pala ang aking luha lalo na when my Grandma say’s her feelings about her daughter na hindi nagpakita ng maganda sa aking Tatang Dandoy. La na ako masabi dahil hanggang ngaun eh miss ko ang kakulitan nya… Paalam Tatang… we love you…

After the Milenyo

2006-10-01T19:29:00.000-07:00

From 1pm Friday till 12pm Sunday, we have an electricity problem due to Typhoon Milenyo. Many Trees, Electric posts and Hordes of Billboards are toppling down and cause the chaos in several places here in the Philippines. We suffered two days of torments looking on every darkside of our house, and my little angel got sick. I didn't know what to do because my baby feels irritably on his bed.

We’ve spent almost 3 days of utter darkness and my little baby are getting better after suffering from her cough and flu.

If I would be to asked, I don't want that tragedy to be happen again, because in almost 3 days of complete utter of darkness I feel so terribly irritate especially when I see my little angel crying because of irritate feelings.

I've try to post some pictures but my server are down.. i'll to post some pictures later on..please keep in touch...

Sino ba ako, bilang ako?

2006-08-22T02:59:00.000-07:00

Ako bilang isang kabataan ay simbolo ng lahing Filipino. Noon ang isa sa di makakalimutang sinabi ng ating pambansang bayani na si Dr. Jose Rizal ay “ Ang Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan”. Oo tayong mga kabataan, mga kabataan na patuloy na hinuhubog at sinasanay upang magsipagsilbing susunod na mga huwaran at tagapagtaguyod ng ating bansang Pilipinas at ng lahing Pilipino.

Sa panahon ngayon masasabi pa rin ba natin na ang mga kabataan ang magsisilbing tagapagtaguyod at pag-asa ng ating bayan? Gayong ang laman ng ating pamayanan ay halos puro abnormalidad? Na sa halip na tayong mga kabataan ang magpaunlad ng ating bayan ay tayo pa nagiging dahilan ng pagbagsak nito. Gaya na lamang ng mga kabataan na nakikita natin nanghoholdap, nagnanakaw, at pumapatay. Meron silang mabigat na dahilan kung bakit nila ginagawa ang mga masasamang bagay na ito. Kung minsan ay ginagawa nila ito dahil sa hirap ng buhay o sa utos ng kanilang mga magulang. Gayong ang mga dapat sanay nagsisilbing tagahubog naming kabataan na aming mga magulang o sa aming nakatatanda, ang sila pang nagsisilbing masamang halimbawa? Paano nila sisimbulo ang ating lahing Filipino gayong mali ang itinuturo sa kanila nga mga magulang, mali ang nakikitang sistema ng kanilang mga mata?

Para sa akin bilang isang simpleng kabataan, isang kabataan na may pinag aralan, alam ang pinagkaiba ng tama at mali, sisikaping gawin lahat ng tamang paraan para matapos ang isang problema. Maisisimbolo ko ang ating bansa at lahi sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng paggalang, respeto sa bayang tinubuan at pakikipagkapwa tao. Na sa kabila ng mga kabulukan at kabaluktutan ng sistema sa ating gobyerno ay hindi tayo magpapadala o magpapaapekto dahil may natitira pa ring pag asang mapaunlad ang ating bansa sa pamamagitan naming mga kabataan. Di man lahat o marahil pa nga’y iilan lamang ay makapagbibigay pa rin naman kami ng mabuting impresyon at makabuluhang simbulo ng lahing Filipino sa bawat makakasalamuha namin habang kami ay patuloy na pinahihinog at hinuhubog ng panahon.

Sa aking paniniwala, hindi nagsisilbing sukatan ang laki, dami ng iyong kontribusyon o nagawa at iyong impluwensya at estado o pagkakakilanlan sa pagsisimbulo ng iyong sambayanan kundi sa iyong sinseridad upang maisimbulo at maipakita ang dangal ng sariling lahi. Ang lahing Filipino.
