TOKYO, JAPAN

My former colleague, Mary Chanyapat is in Tokyo, Japan these days. Mao may iyang story sa FB lagi. I haven't been there actually. Last time I checked mahal pud lagi ang tickets. But for some reason, today I checked the ticket prices for Seoul-Incheon for mid-October pohon. Barato ra man diay. Naa gud P8,300+ sa Air Asia. Ang CebuPac kay P11k+ jud lagi. And to go around doesn't have to be expensive man pud cguro. I checked online. They said around $100 or maybe $200 ang magasto to go around Seoul. Annyeong haseo, Doki. Maabot ra k didto pohon. Amen! Tua rabay daghang gusto mokujog. Si Mam Leonila Adarna ug si Mr. Desiderio Asane. Pastilan! Jia you to us always. Pray lng ta for our plans. Amen!

I guess I thought I wanted a serious relationship; maybe I wasn't ready for it. I will get there in time. All the best to us always, aloha Friday!

Sus tua n pud volcanic eruption lagis Hawaii. Wasn't it just last year when there was an eruption there? Mauna Loa diay to which erupted just after Thanksgiving sa USA. 2018 to ang last eruption ni Kilauea. Well, active man gud ang 5 volcanoes sa Big Island lagi maong eruptions are always expected. But then ang Taal Volcano here in the Philippines kay morag erupting pud. This prompted my good friend Rhady Guioguio Cruel to say that nagdungan n kuno ug buto ang mga bulkan tungod sa kainit lagi kuno. Kay morag gibantayan man pud ang Mayon kay basin mobuto pud lagi. Well, God bless all of us always! ;)

VISA-FREE TO CANADA (ETA)

The good news I got today is that Filipinos can now enter Canada visa-free lagi daw. Those who have held a Canadian tourist visa daw for the past 10 years or are holders of valid US non-immigrant visas can enjoy this privilege. So pwede ko. Wow, salamat sa blessing Lord! Excited pud si Edward coz lake ra gud nagseparate nila lagis Canada. Hehehe. Magkita sa mis Panglao una ig July pohon then we'll discuss the next steps. Coz xempre, di man ko kalusot sa PH immigration if wala koy work diris Pilipinas. But if ingnon nga mobisita ko nilas Maine, USA and gikan n mi nagkita sa Panglao, e di mas bug-at di b? Besides, I have my private student p lagi nga si Cecilia Lin from China. We need to arrange our learning sessions pud. So go go go Doki and aloha! I checked today, 7/20/24. Ang ETA to Canada is 99 USD and valid for 5 years daw or when your passport expires, whichever comes first. So technically 20 USD ra siya per year. Moapply ko pohon, aho sang depositohan ahong PNB lagi. Then New York n lng ahong entry ug exit pohon from Manila around sajon ra lagi.

Sus mhl kaju ni ng byhe lgi. Go Doki

BISHOP SOC VILLEGAS

Kanindut sa homily ni Fr. Soc Villegas Lord. Bakit kuno masakit ang magmahal? Ang iyang tubag is because we are still on earth where everything is limited. We are not in heaven where wala ng pain, etc.So there are 3 things that we have to do kuno: accept, grieve and try again. Wow, salamat po Lord. Bagjo n man cguro pud ni oi. Please keep us safe always Lord. Amen po!

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH

From Fr. Jerry Orbos's healing mass at Carmelite Church in Cebu last January 20. 2023. Focus on the humor, not the tumor. Salamat po and aloha! Evangeli gaudium, the joy of the Gospel. Choose to be happy daw always. Change my heart O God. CHS.com, Come Holy Spirit.. The key to any relationship problem is humility daw. Trust God more! Three prayers for healing: 1. Lord, thank You for everything. 2. Lord, take care of everyone. 3. Lord, Thy will be done. My life is in Your hands. (Ikaw n po ang bahala, Lord). Amen.

TRINITY SUNDAY

So the Sunday after Pentecost is Trinity Sunday diay. Pista sa Loay y'day. Giinvite ko actually ni Mam Vilma Paelmao but nibalik n man ko lagi diris Cebu last May 26 sa hapon. Nice ang explanation ni Fr Jerry Orbos sa trinity, morag electric fan daw nga 3 blades nya once morotate n, mawala n daw tong isa-isa kay makita n nimo sila nga working as one. Or 3 in one coffee lagi pud kuno. Si Fr Jhe lagi nga Korean priest didtos Cambodia kay water in its 3 forms as solid (ice), liquid (usual form) and gas (vapor) pud ang iyang example. Basta kay mystery lagi ang Holy Trinity. Amen. Iexperience n lng daw sa mga Katoliko, di n itry p ug explain. Basta kay when Jesus Christ became man and did all his teachings, diha n Niya gipasabot ang mga tawo no? Then the Holy Spirit came after He ascended into heaven. Mao nay nakacomplete sa Trinity. Come Holy Spirit, I need you. Come Holy Spirit, I pray. Come in Your strength and Your power. Come in Your own special way.. Wa n mi magkita ni Ingko Lopoz yday kay giubo lagi tawn ko rong panahona. Paajo n dajon Doki kay if madajon diay kas Dumaguete pohon this weekend di b? Jia you and go go go!

WOMAN OF FAITH

For we walk by faith and not by sight... Today is Dr. Jayeel Cornelio's birthday who is actually in Istanbul. Sosyal jud siya kay didto gud nagbirthday sa laing nasud lagi. Along with him, bday pud today nila Johnroy Ravina, Mam Leonila Adarna and Uncle Gus Tan Jr. I just recalled all the times he told me in Singapore about 15 years ago to become a woman of faith lagi daw. Wala silang mga degrees lagi kuno, kadtong mga gipangtawag ni Lord and yet they just followed the will of God. So mao n Lord, who am I indeed to refuse? What if naa jud diay koy new mission from You nya ako lng gilingog2an all this time? Coz xempre out of fear Lord. Medyo edaran n bya ko. I'm not anymore the spring chicken bya who left for NL in September 2000. Anyway, aayusin Nyo naman po yan lahat di b Lord? Sayon ra nya n tanan for me; seamless, all obstacles removed. So I look forward to that po Lord. Amen and aloha!
