October 23 to October 31, 2022

On Sunday 10/23/22 p jud diay nagsugod tanan. Late at night on that day man gud. Rains were very strong here in Cebu kay naay bagyo lagi. Nisadsad btaw sa runway sa Mactan ang eroplano sa Korean Air. As a result, cancelled ang mga flights and ang resulta, twice nacancel ang ahong ticket to Clark. Baguio and Manaoag man ta to ahong plano lagi. Hahay. So to make the long story short. Nakaari jud sila Glenda and hubby sa Plantation Bay. The golf cart story. Nakauli kos Bohol pud for kalag2. The Only One by Lionel Richie sa minteryo, tiklop nas Dokiliza. Jia you Doki! ;)

SELF DISTURBANCE

Whatever it is that gives us disturbance? Pressures lead to depression etc. We do not see Jesus because of our crowd. Stay away from it. Kanice sa analogy ni Fr. Jerry Orbos today. Chat pud mi ni Mam Jhe. Moadto n lagi kuno kos Hawaii and iinvite daw siya to the big day. Hay pastilan. Aloha! The gospel is about Zaccheus. Gamay siya nga tawo. He made the effort to see Jesus. Diha ang msg Doki. Make the effort. Amen.

PRIDE

Wag daw tayo maging bagyo sa buhay ng ibang tao. Salamat po Lord for Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD. Amen. Please bless us all always. We keep the faith! Come down from the tree of pride diay kuno oi so that we can meet Jesus. Salamat Lord. Do not play smart daw but pray hard. Hala k Doki. That is for you. Mao btaw gihimo n lng nakong program Lord ang rosary from Namyang. Not from the comfort of our homes daw but to walk the earth. Holy daw if nahuli k n ni Lord. God bless Father Jerry Orbos and all SVD priests in Quezon City and worldwide! ;)

PDL, TO SEEK AND SAVE WHAT WAS LOST

Kanice sa gospel today. He came to seek and save what was lost daw. No storm lasts forever daw per Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD. Amen. True, the day after the storm. Though gloomy is a day of hope jud.. LOST means nawala or naligaw. Like us sometimes. Mawala or maligaw ta ng landas due to pride, possessions, etc. Doki is very proud and opinionated. Daku2 jud ning trabaho lagi b. Amen. I pray for the grace Lord. Always. It is not about you anymore. Mao jud ni first line that I read Lord sa Purpose-Driven Life that Leeyaj gave me in Singapore on January 9, 2006. Gitagsaan p mi niya ni Christian lagi ato nga time. Coz that was the 1st time we met after the Christmas break. Gibasa mn to naho but wa naho tiwasa lagi. Because it would lead me to the born-again church lagi. The answer is just to sign up for the Lord. Thanks Lord!

RISHI SUNAK

He is the newest UK Prime Minister and the 1st UK Prime Minister of Indian origin. He was born in UK of parents who were migrants from India. Grabe ni siya oi kay son in law man ni siyas tag-iya sa Infosys in India. At one point, he lost to Liz Truss but I guess destiny has really its own way of unfolding itself. It must be his destiny to become the UK's Prime Minister next to Liz Truss and Boris Johnson before that. Jia you to us all. Inspiring kajus ijang story bujag1 ;)

ARLENE

She's a former colleague sa SEDP Legazpi who is now married to somebody in NSW, Australia. I asked her for some thoughts last night. Sa AUS n mn diay kuno niya nameet ang iyang bana. She went there as an international student kuno. She basically just told me to do something that will give me peace of mind. Thanks a lot Arlene. Aloha! ;)

KOREAN AIR MISHAP

Sus, malay ko b that diha diay nadisgrasya nga Korean Air flight late last Sunday night October 23. Nisadsad tawn sa runway tong jet sa Korean Air diay mga 11pm sa gabii. I didn't know about it kay wa n lagi ko namalita kay ang grado lagi akong giapas kay I thought molarga ko on Oct 25 sa gabii. As it is, sa 27 sa gabii n ko pohon molarga to Clark and balik on Oct 30 pohon at early morning. Baguio and Manaoag lng jud ahong gustong adtoon. All the best Doki! ;)

INTER NATIONS

Diha man lagi toy Brit from UK who is now in CA for studies who msgd me on Inter Nations lately. She seemed like someone who was just looking for a friend. When she started talking about weekends, nitangkag akong dunggan kay morag naay di maayo nga memory nigawas. I told her n lng that I may not be in her age range and that I'm sure there are others on Inter Nations who would be in her age group. Jia you to us all and happy Sunday! :)

LOVE = TIME

True, if we love people we should give them our time jud. All the best Doki. You can do it. Go go go! ;)

TREVOR NOAH

There is a comedian who is making rounds diay pud in America aside from Jokoy. He is Trevor Noah from South Africa. He is biracial - puti iyang papa whom he has seen infrequently kuno and his mom is black. I can understand why hit siya coz sa background lang daan. And he said his ADHD causes him depression kuno. So if he doesn't take care kuno of how he sleeps and eats, motunga jud daw lagi. Morag makarelated lagi ko ato in a way. Autistic n gud lagi ang tawag ni Zacarias naho. Grabe naman pud, di pud n tinuod oi. God bless us all always. Aloha! ;)

ZACK'S BDAY, 10/18

He is in town kay namatay iyang papa. 90 n daw siya, amazing sa kataas sa edad lagi buyag. May you rest in peace po. Didto kos haya sa Sacred Heart Church kilid and grabe kay sosyal kaju. Asawa man diay kuno ni Lito Remigoso nga negosyante ang iyang maguwang. 7 diay kuno sila igsoona and youngest si Zacarias. Didto ko today and grabe namong tabi lagi. I brought him a slice of jackfruit pud kay birthday man lagi nija ron. He treated me to lunch pud at Jollibee sa may atbang sa Iglesia ni Cristo Church on Mango Avenue. From there niuli n ko and nihapit ug groceries sa Gaisano Capital Casuntingan. Kita daw mi pohon after malubong iyang papa. Cge kay magbusy pud ko ug himo grado lagi. Dugay2 n pud mi last nagkita lagi buyag. La mn n siya kauli pag 2020 kay lockdown lagi. Btw iya jud gitawgan iyang uyab sa HK when diha n ko. It means di siya gusto nga magworry lagi ang girl. Sus, kung ing ana p lng unta si Mr. X no. But we are not like that man lagi. We are only friends gud. Good night to us all!

OUR GOD WILL FIGHT FOR US

Mao ni msg ni good friend Engr May Tampus nako today 10/16/22. Morag the other day b to ang iyang msg pud kay focus on yourself kuno. I said oo gud, focus on your garden lagi daw and the butterflies would come. God bless us all and happy Sunday! ;) Si anhing Mam Inday Yap would always tell me to be strong and determined coz our God is always with us lagi daw. Mao gud, makalimot mn lagi ko Lord. Sorry po. Amen. May told me diay that busy siya and di siya pasamok lagi with all my chats. Cge po Madam, God bless you always and go go go! ;)

EMR ADVICE

Listen to the events in your life and act accordingly. Mao jud ni akong madumduman from EMR, my former chair and mentor sa USC. She said I did not meet you yesterday, Heide. They call me Heide, Heids or Heidz man jud lagi but the formal ones call me Heideliza jud lagi. Hay pastilan. Jia you Doki, keep the faith lang jud always! Kach Medina Umandap. She wants to go to all the 195 countries daw in the world. Right now she is at 172 daw. She met her British husband daw in one of her travels and she now lives in Montenegro. Siguro mao pud n akong gusto. I hope I can still find it. Amen!

BRITISH

Diha may niadd nakos Inter Nations nga girl. She is Brit lagi daw but now in Palm Springs, CA. She is there to study diay. She is new to Inter Nations and still figuring out how the community works. I told her to sign up lang for local activities that she feels interested in. When she started talking about weekends, wa n jud ko kaagwanta. I told her that I don't want her to end up with the wrong crowd or something. I said I'm in my mid-40s while morag late 20s or 30s p siya. Wala p mn nuon pud siya mobawos. Jia you to us all and aloha! ;)

NO BAGUIO CITY

Wala n lng ko nidayon sa Baguio City this time kay twice n nacancel akong ticket lagi from Cebu to Clark. Bad weather man gud. Gitravel fund n lng nako lagi kay basin mastranded p ta didto. Lisud n, di n nya ta kauli. Aloha Doki! Btw kanindut sa wisdom ni Decdec. She said mao daw kunong di ganahan nga yawyawan ang mga laki sa mga babaye kay feel kuno nila nga mga anak japon silas ilang Mama when in fact they're with someone else n mn daw. Ah mao diay n ang buot pasabot atong akong nabasa. Salamat kaju Dec. Si Junas Basio jud to ang first nisulti lagi nako nga avoid nagging daw. Well, di mn jud ko kapugong lagi. Magyawyaw mn jud lagi ko para once and for all n. All the best n lng nako kanunay. Cge! ;)

HUMILITY TO GRATITUDE TO GENEROSITY

This is the message for today. Ang gospel kay ang Ten Lepers man lagi who have been healed but only one came back. So ang sulti ni Fr Jerry Orbos is return to the Lord what you owe Him. Salamat po Lord for your enduring words and for your faithful servants. Sila Fr. Jerry Orbos and all SVD priests and all priests in the world. Amen. Please make us all worthy of You. Amen.

SG

I have thought of visiting Singapore at the end of this month nga Intrams namo lagi. Sus, February 2008 p ko nibiya lagi didto and never been back. Last June 2020 I had a ticket but it got cancelled lagi due to the pandemic. Di n lng diay ko modayon kay naapiki ko ug book sa ticket. Mahal n kaju ang SG lagi. And I don't feel good lng about it. I do need the closure but not to go there lang pud. Jia you Doki! :) Si Ivy diay is in town kay namatay diay tawn kuno iyang mama nga si Mommy Violy, my ninang sa kumpirma. Sus, I have to visit her wake diay. I was able to last Tuesday October 11 in the morning. Timing kay midterms week lagi namo last week. Rest in peace po. After Pinayagan, niadto n lng pud kos Cawayanan to give my offering for the fiesta and to visit the wake pud of Nong Lucio Requillo. Nangamatay n ahong mga ninong ug ninang; wa nay moluhod sa ahong kasal ani pohon. Si Mami Dina una then si Tiyo Fredo then si Mami Violy n lagi. But while there's life, there's hope. Keep the faith lang gud Doki. Amen!

TIME

Naahat n lng tawn ug reply nahos Mam Maricel Flores today kay nagbaha n kuno lagi akong msgs niya. Kalooy ni Mam, nasamok p ni Doki. She told me to allow God to work in my life so that makita lagi daw nako nga matuman ang akong gipangayo. In other words, pray Doki and trust God's plans or process ug ni Inday Xmarie p lagi. I may just need to relax or do something that I'm really supposed to do. Ako tong balikan n lng lagi ang akong thesis Lord. Bahala ug lisud to, I will try to work on it lng jud lagi. Amen. God bless my efforts. Amen. She once told me that adto jud daw sa momsg lagi. And si Chona Rosco pud said adto jud daw sa mohatag ug oras nimo. Hay pastilan. God bless us all always and aloha! ;)

FAITH

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for. Mao gud tong ingon nga there was a congregation that prayed for rain. But only one child had an umbrella daw. My former student Arvin Navarro once told me, ayaw lng gud pawala sa paglaum. Di tayo pinalaki ng Sexbomb lagi kuno para sumuko. Amen, Lord. Salamat po Lord for your multiple blessings always. We pray that we are worthy of you always, Lord. Amen. cf. Jayeel Cornelio when we were in NUS back in the day: Ganyan b ang faith mo, Heide? The people in the Bible lagi daw Lord. Wala silang mga degree Heidz but they all listened to God's voice daw. Salamat kaju Leeyaj and all the best always! #1 univ n daw sa Pinas ang ADMU, naungusan n daw nila ang UP during the pandemic. Hahah. Kudos to them all!

OCTOBER 2 - FEAST OF GUARDIAN ANGELS

Today maoy birthday ni late Aunty Helen in Hawaii. Mam Raquel said mao and mao pud ingon ni Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD. God bless us all and aloha! ;) Makadumdum kos ingon ni Mam Raquel lagi nga nagpuyo mi nga malinawon diris Pilipinas. Tinuod Lord, kay nagdala ug demonyo lng lagi tong Hawaii July 2019 trip. Si Bantil lagi nagnaning jud tawn nga makaadto jud and even si Inday Xmarie pud nimsg pud lagi kuno ni Mike that gusto pud sija imbitaron. Twas 3 long years ago. Move on n ta lagi. Amen!
