Holy Week 2006, Church of the Holy Cross, Clementi, SG

Out of the blue, kadumdum lng kos amo song sa above church on Holy Week 2006. Apil2 mn kunohay mi choir ni C.B. "This is my love for you.." "This is my body (blood) broken for you..." Obedience to the Father ra laba jud ang giemphasize ni Father Richards Ambrose that time. Incidentally this time I have a book lagi entitled "The Gospel of Yes". Mosanong ra mn jud ta dapat sa gusto ni Lord. And we will surely get our heart's desires. Amen. Happy weekend everyone. I am inspired bujag! :)

Got to Believe in Magic

Sya na mismo nag-ingon nga it's a journey now so we must not stop the communication kuno till our relationship is stronger coz la daw mi kahibaw where it would lead. Lalalala... I had been with 4 other guys in the past. They didn't end up in marriage. This time could be it! Pity those who wait Trusted love to fate Finding out too late That they've lost it Never letting go They will never know The ways of love Chorus: Got to believe in magic Tell me how two people Find each other In a world that's full of Strangers Got to believe in magic Something stronger than The moon above Coz it's magic when two people fall In love ;)

Simple Truths on Love

I have a printout of an article with the same title as above. Mga 1990s pa to in my possession. One of the quotes I remember from there is that you don't choose love, love chooses you. Wow! It must be really true as I find myself falling in love these days. Nakilig ko and nakilig pud si Pinky. Hahah ;) Madam Shirley also once said that love is not an obligation but an outpouring. Baw Lord oi. Feel jud nako nga mao na ni. I will keep praying and hoping for the best. All faith unto You! ;)

A.M.

He greeted me on LinkedIn last January 18, 2018. But after one month na ko nitagad niya and ask who he is. Taga-Papua New Guinea daw siya. He was talking of coming here in Philippines and working here for 1-2yrs. Accounting daw iya background. Isuroy kuno nako siya diri oi. He talked of Makati, Boracay, Bohol, Cebu. I said cge pohon if I know you a bit more. Kasabot ra pud cja. Nagsulti raba jud tos Ruthie nga moabot ra na ug kalit. I keep the faith. Pure Papua New Guinean jud daw siya. Heheh. Si Christopher Cox diay, my Aussie co-volunteer, amo common friend. Duol2 ra amo edad. We're quite a good match daw. And that's coming from him ha! Well, I pray this is it! ;) Moari diay kuno iya uncle kay magpatambal in April sa Manila. Nag-ask siya kung unsay best hospital didto. Told him Medical City in Taguig. Cge. Na'man diay kuno cja mga Pinoy cousins. Hmph, goryo2 pa jud. Exchange of emails lng gud mi. Samay problema ana? Basta di lng sya terorista or mangingilad gud. Even he himself said it is a journey now and we must not stop the communication kay la lagi kuno mi kahibaw asa kadung. Wow. Jia you Doki. Basin mao na jud ni cya at last! ;)

Hasmin

I went over my SG memories when she came to my mind. Musta na diay siya? She got married na man but morag la pa silay anak. Kay gurang na daw siya nagminyo. Heheh, unsa n lng ko?? Morag la pud to work ija bana. I will email her later in the day. Miss you girl! ;)

R.L.

Before I talk about him, let me first say that wala na jud ko tagdas taga-PP. Ngano mn tawn oi? Did I say or do anything wrong?? Nikalit ra jud ni cja'g kalami. Since Nov last year, di n jud cja moreply sa aho messages on Messenger. Cge na lng. Basin he needs space pud. Now, on to R.L. We had a falling out towards the end of this year coz I told him man that na'na koy lain. La jud nuon ko kadungog from him till yday. Mao diay nabanhaw cja kay bday mn diay nija kuno ig Sunday. So namarayeg ug gift.. So mao n lng ni akong role diay ron. Sugar mommy n lng. Pangajuan n lng ug kwarta. Actually he said huwaton n lng kuno naho ang taga-Bukidnon kay basin moabot ra daw sya diri. See? Buotan ra mn lagi cja. But di lng lagi ko pasalig sa ija pangita kay mananagat ra mn tawn lagi cja. Cge God bless you and God bless me always too. Let's keep the friendship ;)

Lunch at Royal Krua Thai SM

Today 2/21/18 I met up with my classmates from SU, Mam Lyn and Mam Vilma for lunch. Mam Lyn is here for the DILG training while Mam Vilma went to PRC to renew her license. Okay mn sila magkita for lunch, so go mi! ;) March 3 pa mi magkita sa Dumaguete phon kay la mn mi klase this weekend. Jia you ladies. Sana masama natin ang boys next time, i.e. the Dragon Knights -- sila Sir Jason, Sir Butch ug Sir Renante. Heheh.

Bonawon, Siaton, NegOr

Mao ni hometown ni Kuya Ray Bollos Kirit, one of our Pinoy friends in Cambo. Yday, 2/17/18 I got the chance to visit him. Coz up to 12 noon ra mn amo klase. Mouli n mn ta ko but ingnan mn ko Nang Anel nga naghago2 lng kuno. Mao niadto n lng ko ila Kuya Ray. Mga 1.5 to 2 hrs diay ang ilaha from Dumaguete City. I went to the Ceres terminal and took a bus to Bayawan. Sa Dike View ko gipanaug ni Kuya. Mao diay na panga'n sa ilang tindahan. Nagpaload p jud ko didto sa Globe kay wa may signal ang Smart. Last barangay n diay ang Bonawon sa Siaton then Sta. Catalina na. Next to Sta. Catalina ang Bayawan. Istorya ra gud mi ni Kuya. He bought me bread for snacks and gipatimplahan ug kape. Didto mn daw sa Dumaguete sila Ate Kang. Around 5pm didto mis beach nga atbang ras ilaha gamay. Then nilakaw n pud ko after. I took the van n lng. Mga 7pm n ko naabot sa Dumaguete. Gikapoy mn ko mao didto n lng ko natulog. This morning na ko byahe pabalik Cebu. Jia you Doki. Here's to more places you'd discover in Negros phon. I keep the faith.

IS Research

I must say mao ni nakaguba sa ako adlaw last Thursday. We have a faculty member mn gud nga nicome up ug suggestion nga wa ko kauyon. Sakto mn nuon sija, di mn ko moclaim pud nga aho jud ning field ang IS. Ang development component cguro but ang PolSci component, ilaha na jud na. I hope maplantsa na ni namo ang gusot. I did my research also and now I understand what he's saying and where we're lacking. I keep the faith.

V Day 2018

Yesterday 2/13/18 we had Typhoon Basyang raging over Visayas and Mindanao. Kusog2 pud ija hangin, daghan ug uwan. La gud mi klase yday.. Today Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday at the same time, I sent off my 2nd cousin Jong2 to Bohol. I thought it wise nga mouli n lng cja didto kay bday ra mn ni Lola Senda ig March 2 phn ija huwaton kuno. Paulion mn kuno silas ilang Mama sa Manila kay wa mn madajon ug larga to Kuwait. So I thought no point in spending the time here in Cebu. Di mn cja seryoso mangapply gud. Cge cja huwat sa RAFI nga duda ko wala jud cja madawat ato. Diha mn ta sya'y interview sa Virginia Foods. Wa pud nija sunaha. Liman ka'g tubagon lng ka'g "weekend, Ate" or "wa koy load, Ate"when I asked. Tungod ato ija mga butang, nakadecide ko nga aho na cja paulion. All the best, Jong. May ra cguro pud didto ka Cawa aron naay uban si Lola Senda didto kay sya ra jud tawn isa kung adlawan. Jia you to us!

Asa Jud Kaha No?

My passport expired last January 2015 pa but since I didn't know where to fly and I also didn't want to visit KH yet, wa jud nako giparenew. As it is, February 2017 na nako narenew ako passport. And surprisingly its first use was for the CHED scholarship application. Nadawat mn ko which means tanan nako larga from now on would need travel clearance from them. Sayon ra mn daw kay dali ra mn makuha. Sa Central Office pangayuon. Maybe dili jud KL ang gusto ni Lord nga ako gamitan for this new passport which is valid for 5 years. So I hold on Lord kung asa jud. Gusto ta ko'g SG pero wa pa mn ang CHED allowance. Gusto ta pud ko bisita KH this summer but morag mosummer kos SU. Cge lang Doki. Ireveal ra na ni Lord nimo tanan. Just hang on. I have a standing invite baya ni Father Don sa Bali. He is on a mission sa Maumere, Flores Island, Indonesia so dugay2 pa jud cguro sya didto. God bless Father Don! Si Lava pud told me to plan a trip to Nepal this year. Even Inday Nee invited me to Australia. Hay kadaghan bas pwede adtoan. Kwarta ug oras pa lang ang wala. Basta good health lang pud ko Lord, I am more than wiling to fly jud. Amen!

Preeti

She's one of my housemates in Singapore. She's back in India now. We do get in touch thru LinkedIn. I dunno about this girl, dili sya ganahan mag-Facebook. Even Deepti my other housemate has disappeared on FB too. She tells me WhatsApp is the easiest way to connect with her. La mn lagi ko ana oi. Besides hinay pud kaju amo internet diris Pinas lagi mao di ko ganahan mogamit anang mga app kay kinas lng battery ug load. She asked me lately if I have plans to visit SG. Of course I do. But it may happen in the second half of this year na. Coz wala pa mn ako allowance sa CHED moabot intawon. Ako pa ni gitipid2 ako money. Na'man koy sweldo gamay sa CDU every month good for 6 units nga pwede nako ma-allowance. Cge lng gud, Doki. The Lord knows what you need even before you say it to Him. So just hang on. Unsa to ang message last week? Worry less and love more!

Sunil

He's a very good friend of mine. Actually sila Teacher Zaii jud ang kaila. But he has become my very good friend too. He helped me out when I ran into trouble in Malaysia. Sus, nabiktima mn tawn cja'g mangingilad nga Pinay oi. Nagpada na kuno cja'g more or less P300k to this girl kay itukod lagi kuno ug restaurant. Nya wa may restaurant nahimo! Karon this girl is troubling him kuno. Mao ask sya nako what to do. I referred the case to Atty Agaw Julius Delgado. He said ireport lang daw sa NBI Anti Fraud Division. I gave him the link already. All the best!
