Cge po.

JOSA

She is Maria Josephine Sanchez or Josa, a fellow ISS alumna. I met her during the SRHR refresher course in October 2011. She was working for an NGO then in Metro Manila. After a few years, I heard from her and she was in the Middle East n. Then during the lockdown she said she was out of job and that her brother is working here in Cebu. Then the next thing I knew, she was in California n daw. She said she worked for a victim center something. I am very happy to talk to her on Messenger this morning. She encouraged me jud. Baw lagi Josa oi. Lisud kaju ang sitwasyon lagi. May ma'g piso ra lagi ang magasto if moadtos Hawaii pohon. But I do pray for guidance always. And I do keep the faith. Aloha! It is the last week of September n. I will be back to CDU ig Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning pohon. Then plano mi magkita ni Mam Liezl for lunch. Sweldo n pud ig Sept 30 pohon and deadline nas QS proposals for the Asia-Pacific version in November pohon. Mosubmit ko or di? Di p ko final. Gusto ko ug ALS or DRRM. Something like that. Jia you Doki. Go lang ng go! ;)

Sept. 23 Feast of Saint Padre Pio

Birthday baya ni ni Arvin Navarro, my former student and confidant with my lovelife. Sus kanice sa love story ni Tintin Bersola and Julius Babao. Their 2 kids are named after their 2 patron saints, St. Anthony and St. Padre Pio. Antonia/Anya ang girl nya Antonio/Nio ang boy. They would donate images daw of the 2 saints during the birthdays of their kids. Kacute sa ilang married or family life. Actually, I have to say that I became more prayerful pud this time. Jia you Doki. You will get there ra. At the right time. Amen. Good night!

Last night 9/23/22 at 09.50 to 10.50 pm niair akong presentation in the above event. Last man diay akong presentation kay mubo ra mn pud. First tong sa university in Cairo, then sa India then me. I had to increase the volume p jud kay medyo hinay tong akong recording. Overall, I am very happy with how it all turned out. I'm now looking into the week next week pohon and my upcoming speaking engagement sa remittances conference by Leiden University in mid-October pohon. Mag-exam ra man ko this week sa akong IS klases and f2f sa akong Dent klases. How about ang thesis oi? Kaundangon n lagi ko ato. Good night!

UNWORTHY

I do have feelings of being unworthy jud. Nagsugod jud ni tanan of course sa bay. Kay di mn lagi ko domestic goddess maong I thought di ko worthy nga mahimong wife or unsa b n diha. Pun-an p lagi nga ingnon ka'g crazy Filipina, impoverished academic, way kwarta ug uban p. Syempre, kinsa p may motake a chance di b? But I do need to overcome all these demons jud. Coz ang mahitabo ani I will be alone for the rest of my life. Jia you Doki. While there's life, there's hope jud. Amen! Amazing! Twas 10/28/21, this time last year when I had the one-on-one session with Neelke Verhelst nga staff ni Kelly Brandli. Mahal lng pud kaju tong ijang coaching program lagi maong wa ko mosignup. Hahay, I'm back to the old setup. Back to square one lagi ko. Cge lang. All the best Doki, keep the faith lng jud! :)

MOVE ON

If he was interested in you, he would have been calling you or writing you more. So move on! Yes, coz there was a time gud when he sent me 10 pictures from the beach. And I didn't know why he sent them! Morag ang iyang feet selfie ra lagi diay to nya iyang gitabunan sa ubang pictures. Intawn. This time kay keeping the friendship n mn lng lagi. Huhuh, if only moving on is that easy to do. It will take time and I would do my very best jud so that makamove on n jud ko lagi. I keep the faith, the Lord will help me ra. God's clock is neither early nor late gud. Amen. Today is the bday diay ni Jacy. I plan to see her late this afternoon. Cge aloha! ;)

LINKEDIN, TWITTER

Sus, 11 profile views n daw sa akong LinkedIn oi since I posted my speaking card for the QS conference in Brazil later this week. I've shared my e-ticket n pud to so many of my contacts. Then si Dr. Matthew Hoye asked us pud if we won't mind being tagged lagi daw in the promotion for the #JustRemit Conference in mid-October pohon. Gave him my Twitter account though I said I'm not active on Twitter. Btw I told Elizabeth diay yday that I might consider whatever opportunities that would come as an offshoot of these 2 speaking engagements. Kay basin lahi n lagi ang direction ni Lord for me. She said take advantage lagi daw of the opportunities, don't stay in the bubble for too long. Salamat. Ate n jud siyas mga IS lagi. Go go go and aloha! ;)

GOODBYE, QUEEN ELIZABETH II

On September 19th 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth II was buried. So many dignitaries and world leaders were there including Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands with former Queen Beatrix. For Denmark it was Crown Prince Frederick who went along with his mother Queen Margrethe. For Sweden it was King Gustav and diha pud si King Harald of Norway. Taasas prusisyon lagi oi thru the streets of London involving the military. It will be a new era jud with King Charles III as the new monarch. God bless the United Kingdom, God bless the King! :)

BTS, SSS, HEART

Hilig kaju ug acronyms si Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD lagi, to wit: BTS - Believe, Trust, Surrender; SSS nakalimot n ko, (Service, Silence and Smile diay) and HEART - Hurt, Envy, Anger, Resentment and Timidity. Pioneer missionary man gud daw n siyas South Korea maong kamao jud siya ug Korean lagi. Diha ni Fr. Jerry lagi ko first nakadungog sa word nga rancour which is bitterness. He said dapat walang rancour lagi kuno ang mga tawo. Siya diay pud tong niingon nga we are an Easter people kuno, not Black Friday so dapat di daw ta magmukmok. Salamat po sa teachings always. Naanad n lng lagi kos iyang 1015am masses with harana at the end. God bless you always po and aloha! ;)
