BBM as our New Prexy

OMG. It seems apparent that BBM will really become the new President of the Philippines. I think ang mga kabataan jud maoy ilang nadala sa ilang kampanya online. Wala nay critical thinking kay TikTok thinking n may gipasulabi. Bagong Pilipinas lagi kuno. Say bagong Pilipinas oi nga old kawatan mn n silang pamilyaha? God bless the Philippines n lng jud. We can only pray and sit through his 6 years in power. Ayaw jud ug declare ug Martial Law ha! Hmph. On the local front, nakadaug mn si Aris Aumentado (AA) as the new governor of Bohol and ang iyang vice nga si Balite, tag-ija daw sa BIT. Ang sa Tubigon kay si Jao japon nakadaug nya morag 100 ra ang ligas lagi. Thrilling p jud to kaju kay ang VCM sa Cahayag nipalya man. Nya last precinct n lng jud tos tanan so mao jud toy nakadecide kung kinsa jud ang mananaug lagi. Sige n lng, we pray for the best always. Go Tubigon, Go Bohol! :)

LETTING GO

Today 5/6/22 on the first Friday of this month, ang message ni Uncle Linus sa email is to let go daw. Coz if we let go daw, amazing things can happen. And it did hit me hard. Coz I do tend to hold on to things. Wala gud ko molet go sa akong PhD frustrations maong I am doing this PhD again. And wala pud ko molet go lagis akong Cambodia experience. Kay for the longest time lagi, si Nick gud to ang akong love. Told him I can't win scholarships if I stay abroad. And if tua n sijay lain ron, then xempre I'd have to let go of him. So many times he told me gud that we're only friends. Starting in 2011 actually following the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. So kinsa man diay akong minyuan ani Lord if I let go of Nick? And asa n mn ang taga Hawaii nga nawa n mn pud lagi? I did tell him that Cambodia is my 2nd home. Tinuod mn jud pud Lord. I would always love Cambodia, with or without Nick there. I would just have to learn to let go of my memories with him there, in Phnom Penh and most importantly in Siem Reap. Hahahy. Jia you to us all!

Please help me po Lord and aloha! ;)

CONFERENCE

Today 5/5/22 I received email from Vanessa Ntinu, Secretariat for LDE Centre GMD that there will be an in-person conference in The Hague that they are organizing. I actually said I may not come because we also have a talk here on May 17th at 9 to 10 a.m. But she said they hope to welcome me daw in future events, if possible. So I asked n lng kung kinsay moshoulder sa akong ticket and visa if I attend this conference? Kay May 16th pohon at 9:30 a.m. to 17:00 man daw ni nga event in Holland. I didn't join this conference jud tungod sa talk ni John Bradford with us in CDU lagi last 17 May from 9 to 10 am. Ako man gud ang moderator lagi sa open forum. So jia you Doki. If ang LDE lagi Lord ang mobayad sa ahong ticket and visa phn, then of course I'll go. Ang katulgan pwede ra man n ug sa ISS phn. Ang pagkaon pangitaon n lng pud phn. OMG. I haven't been in Europe and in the Netherlands since I left in 2001. Ayusin Nyo po lahat Lord. Amen. Malipay si Padre Jovic ug Boyet Agbon plus sila Pinky, Jamie and Oriane siguro phn lagi kung madajon ko. I can drop by Athena in Geneva and make arrangements to see Oriane n lng pud. I've told Mike O that I will buy him a t-shirt there pohon and send it to him. Jia you to all our plans. Wow Doki, go go go!

MEY

I saw from his FB that he changed his cover picture to a picture of his parents nga medyo naedaran n. Then a certain Khmer guy said 'good love to you and Mey'. So mao n siguro to iyang latest girlfriend. Ganahan mn jud n sija ug Khmers lagi. I saw a Khmer girl gud in his Angkor Wat album sa FB before. And when he was getting inside Lucky Supermarket before sa back entrance, I saw 2 Khmer girls approach him too. Then he was planning to introduce a Khmer girl siguro to his parents coz they came to Cambodia man in March 2009 mn cguro to. Aloha Nicky and your partner, all the best to you always!

BRADFORD CDU TALK

As of this time, 5/4/22 4pm I got 10 registrants already for the above talk. 8 ang among CDU SHS-HUMSS and 2 from USC PolSci. I shared the invite n to our TCW Training FB page. Wow, so most likely maabot jud diay mi ug 100 ani pohon. Dakung achievement na. I made the letter n mn pud asking for the honorarium. So ang sunod bugnuon is ang akong proposal n lng lagi, hatod sa CHED documents ug adtos LBP Centro Office to get my card blocked. Jia you always Doki and aloha! ;)

So one game lang ugma pohon and the first game of the Finals will be on Sunday at 6pm pud siguro. ADMU beat FEU man so they are going to the Final 4 right away. Go go go, nagkaduol nas championship lagi. Aloha everybody! May the best team wins lang jud ;)

GRATITUDE

I once heard a homily that says 'a grateful heart is a thankful heart', just like a thinking person is a thanking person. Tinuod. In the episode of Lunch Out Loud yday 5/2/22 with Billy Crawford, Alex Gonzaga, Belle Diaz, Kiray and others, they prayed at the end of their program. And it made me realize that yes. If we just take a moment to think of all that we have then we will realize that we are so blessed and not think of what we don't have. Mao ng thanksgiving jud ta kanunay. Amen. Happy happy fiesta to Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) in my birth place of Cawayanan, Tubigon, Bohol today. Jia you to us all and aloha!

UAAP SEASON 84

I watched almost the entire 1st quarter last night of the UP vs ADMU game. So UP ra jud diay lagi nakapildi nila this time. Sakto ra pud oi. Maayo mn tos Tamayo and then there's James Spencer ug kinsa p to. Old rivalry daw diay ni oi ang UP ug ADMU, the Battle of Katipunan. Anyway, my guess is that in the end sila ra japon n ang magkita sa Final Four lagi - UST, DLSU, ADMU and UP. Jia you to us all!

TARO AND MILO TREE

I have these 2 plants in the laundry part of the house here in Cebu. They are present in Hawaii too, a testament to both places being in the tropics. Moask p ko ug isa k plant Lord to know for sure if mao nb jud to? Hahay pastilan k Doki. You of little faith. Aloha!

WATER MANAGEMENT

This afternoon before class, akong gipangumusta sila Boyet and Reymar. Si Boyet asked me to link him up with IHE people so I made a group chat to introduce him to Diane Llanto, Loreen Villacorta and Adrian Almoradie. Sakto kay water management mn lagi ang PhD ni Boyet with UCL in Belgium and XU ang iyang host diris Pilipinas. Jia you Boyet, all the best sa mga plano! ;)

MAY DAY IS LEI DAY

Today 5/2/22 I saw on the news in Hawaii that it is Lei Day diay didto. Well, you know what they say. Aloha means togetherness like flowers strung on a lei. Basta Hawaii lagi, sa aloha ra jud lagi magdaug tanan. Heheh, jia you to us always! I am expecting quite a busy week this week.

Next time n lng. Cge po.

So far, mga 40 n ang akong giexpect nga moapil kay si Sir Jeff Lumansang sent me a private msg to say that gusto siya iapil ang iyang HUMSS kuno nga 10 students.
