YOUR LOVE





Alamid - Your Love

You're the one who never let me sleep

Through my mind and through my soul,

You touch my lips

You're the one that I can't wait to see

When you're here by my side, I'm in ecstacy

Refrain

I'm all alone without you

But days are dark without the glimpse of you

Now that you come into my life

I feel complete

The flowers bloom, the morning shines and I can see

Chorus

Your love is like the sun

That lights up my whole world

I feel the warmth inside

Your love is like a river

That flows down through my veins

I feel the chill inside

Everytime I hear music played

Reminds me of the things that we've been through

In my mind I can't believe it's true

But in my heart, the reality is you

Repeat Refrain

Repeat Chorus 2x

Ad lib: (Do chorus chords)

Repeat chorus to fade




Your Love by Alamid

NIYEBE SA TAG-SIBOL

"Kuwaresma man ay bumabagyo", "Huwag kang pakakasigurado, kanin mang isusubo, nalaglag nagiging mumo" Just as I thought summer is just around the corner and the heat is here, biglang nag-snow this late part of spring. So kambyo muna ang ating mga alagad na bikini beauties (katrina, et.al.), inilagay ko muna sila sa baul, habang nakakadama ako dine ng lamig. Talaga yatang "naloloka" na ang panahon. dahil sa ating kapabayaan at kawalan ng pag-galang sa ating inang kalikasan.

ALIPIN

Alipin by Shamrock

Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip
Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana’y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin

Chorus:
Ako’y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako’y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako’y nasasabik

Ayoko sa iba
Sayo ako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso’t pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya

chorus
coda:
Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta’t sa akin wag kang mawawala

Ako’y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako’y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako’y nasasabik
Pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin

OLD TIME FAVORITE MOVIES


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-3PP7hfIm4
THE_GRADUATE a 1967 film starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross is one of my favorite of all time. Maraming memorable na kanta ng Simon and Garfunkel ang nanggaling sa pelikulang ito.

Sypnosis:Nominated for seven Academy Awards and winner for Best Director, this groundbreaking and "wildly hilarious" (The Boston Globe) social satire launched the career of two-time Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman and cemented the reputation of acclaimed director Mike Nichols. Pulsating with the rebellious spirit of the '60s and a haunting score sung by Simon and Garfunkel, The Graduate is truly a "landmark film" (Leonard Maltin).Shy Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) returns home from college with an uncertain future. Then the wife of his father's business partner, the sexy Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), seduces him, and the affair only deepens his confusion. That is, until he meets the girl of his dreams (Katharine Ross). But there's one problem: she's Mrs. Robinson's daughter.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb5f8QXiWyg

ONE_ON_ONE 1977 Starring Robby Benson and Annete O Toole is not a classic movie pero naging paborito ko ito kasi noong mga panahong napanood ko ito first year college ako at i can relate to the movie kasi freshman din ang bida. Its about a basketball scholar na nag fall in love sa kanyang tutor. Seals and Crofts ang kumanta ng mga background music para sa pelikulang ito.

Sypnosis:Henry Steele is a basketball phenomenon at his small town high school, but when he matriculates to a big city university on a scholarship, soon realizes that he has few skills outside the sport. Expected by his coach to contribute significantly to the team, Henry is overwhelmed by the demands on his time, the "big business" aspect of college sports, and the fact that he never fully learned to read. Things look bleak for Henry when Janet Hays, a pretty graduate student, is assigned as Henry's tutor. Her intellect and strength lift Henry out of his doldrums just in time to battle the coach, who attempts to rescind Henry's scholarship.

MUSIKATOY

MUSIKATOY, I am a child of the 60's , 70's was my teen years, I was a young man at 80's, three decades of great musics and if I may add the song of the 50's was my lullabies as my mom sing me to sleep. Its no wonder na the songs of this 4 decades I always look forward (siguro mas bagay hear forward to hear:) to hear. Pag pumupunta noon ako sa mga record shop I always make it a point na tingnan kong available mga past songs na matagal ko ng miss at gustong marinig. But now thanks to the wonders of the internet, I can surf on the web para mahanap mga kanta (may bonus pang video pag sinuswerte)para hindi lamang marinig kundi makita pa mga performers ng mga songs na matagal ko ng nami-miss.
Noong una inilalagay ko lang sa link ng aking Atoy Story mga songs, Musikatoy, pero dahil sa dami kong paboritong kanta naisipan kong gumawa na lang ng isa pang blog na ang title MUSIKATOY , compilations ng mga kantang hit noong dekada 60 onwards. Para naman sa dekada 50 pababa yong The-Good-Old-Days. Nakakalibang para sa akin ang i-blog at ibahagi ang mga kantang ito, para bang isang time capsule na muling bumabalik ang mga alaala ng lumipas. Mga memories ng kabataan, unang pag-ibig at iba pang bahagi nang lumipas maari mang masaya at malungkot na pag iyong pinagtagni-tagni you will realize na the what you are today is the sum of all your yesterday.


Here are some of the songs na naging bahagi na ng buhay ko noong panahon ng dekada 70's.



Kapag naririnig ko ang kantang ito naalala ko ang dekada 70. White cotton shirt, sneakers at siyempre maong o denims jean. LET YOUR LOVE FLOW ng Bellamy Brothers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKSNHcsqqKM

Heto namang kantang ito ay sikat na sikat rin ng panahon ng hayskul, medyo binaduy lang ito ni Fred Panopio, kundi ako nagkakamali nagka-kontrobersiya pa nga dahil sa pagkakasalin nga nito sa pilipino.
.....ang kawawang kowboy
may baril walang bala
may bulsa wala namang pera...
Rhinestone Cowboy ni Glenn Campbell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l43ksqpYbUY

Kapanahunan nang tipar, paboritong tugtugin pag "sweet" o "slow drag". Kung may lalaking makalaglag panty, ang kantang ito ay makalaglag luha at makadurog puso.
Manhattans Kiss and Say Goodbye

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7SGCB9YaYM




Kapag narinig ko ang kantang ito I get misty eyes, kasi ang kantang ito ay tungkol sa nawalang mahal sa buhay. Although sa time na iyon i have not felt the pain of losing someone that you love damang-dama ko kanyang kalungkutan (maaring dahil sa kuwentong nabasa ko tungkol sa kantang ito, sa KOMIKS!!!)

IMAGES FROM MY HOMETOWN

ANG BULKAN AT LAWA NG TAAL.
ANG KATEDRAL NG LIPA
ANG SIMBAHAN NG CARMEL, SHRINE PARA SA OUR LADY OF MEDIATRIX

ANG KABUNDUKAN NG MALARAYAT

There is no place like home. Maganda man ang Queenstown hindi ko pa rin ipagpapalit ang bayan kong sinilangan. Lipa, marilag na bayan, sa pusod ng Batangan. Bayan na biniyayaan ng Poong Maykapal ng kaaya-ayang kagandahan, Lawa ng Taal sa kanyang paanan, at ang matayog na Kabundukan ng Malarayat sa kanyang ulunan, lupang mataba, at klimang mapanghalina na anumang uri ng halaman at hayop ay maari niyang kalingain.
Hindi kataka-taka na dahil sa taglay niyang katangian, maraming tagahanga na siya ay mabihag. Napakaraming tao hindi lamang sa Batangas ang sa kanya ay nagnais manirahan, kungdi maging sa malalayo mang lugal. Isa na siya ngayong First Class City, at sentro ng kalakalan, industriya at ng edukasyon at maging ng kultura, hindi lamang ng kanognog bayan, kundi maging ng rehiyong kanyang kinabibilangan.
Maaring ang mga bata ko ay dito na sa ibang lugal manirahan, magkapamilya ngunit alam kong pag dumating na ang araw at sila ay kaya ng tumayo at manindigan sa sariling mga paa, lumipad sa lakas ng kanilang bagwis, muli akong babalik sa bayan kong sinisinta, upang sa aking pagtanda sa kanyang lilim ako hihimlay at magpapahinga. Tulad ng isang anak na bumabalik sa kanyang ina puno ng pagkasabik at pagnanasa iaalay nalalabing talino at lakas sa unang nag-aruga at nagmalasakit sa kanya. Lipa, bayan kong sinasamba kaylanman di kita makalimutan, lalagi ka sa aking isipan, kay layo man ng lakbayan, sa yong daan pa rin dadako aking hantungan.

MGA BAGONG BREED NG PINOY HEROES







Kung titingnan ninyo sila, hindi ninyo iisipin na kadugo natin sila. Pero sila ay may mga dugong Pinoy. Bagamat sila ay ipinanganak sa ibang bansa at isa sa magulang nila ay dugong dayuhan, nanalaytay sa kanilang mga ugat ang dugong dumadaloy sa ating mga katawan, dugong kayumanggi.
Si Dave "The Animal" Batista, Bautista ang tunay niyang apelyido, Pilipino ang kanyang ama, at griyego kanyang ina. Dati siyang champion ng WWE, sa loob ng siyam na buwan, pinakamatagal ang kanyang pagkakahawak sa titulo sa kasaysayan ng WWE professional wrestling. 6 feet five inches siya tumitimbang ng 290 lbs at nakatatoo sa kanyang balat ang isang watawat ng Pilipinas. Isa siyang tunay na superstar sa mundo ng wrestling at Smackdown. http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/batista/
Si Brandon "The Truth" Vera, isang undefeated heavyweight fighter sa UFC o Ultimate Fighting Championship, isang uri ng sport na mas matindi pa sa boxing, mixed martial arts na kung saan pwede mong gamitin ang iyong mga kamay, paa at tuhod para talunin ang kalaban. Ang ina niya ay pinay at italyano ang kanyang ama interview sa kanya ng Studio 23 mahusay siyang gumamit ng wikang pambansa. Siya ay may taas na 6 feet 2 inches at tumitimbang ng 225 lbs may record siyang 7 panalo, walang talo at sa 7 niyang panalo 6 sa kalaban ang knockout. http://www.brandonvera.com/

NAKAPAGTATAKA



Nakapagtataka

by Apo Hiking Society

Walang tigil ang gulo
Sa aking pag-iisip,
Mula nang tayo'y nagpas'yang maghiwalay;
Nagpaalam pagka't hindi tayo bagay,
Nakapagtataka
(hoh hoh)
Kung bakit ganito
Ang aking kapalaran;
Di ba't ilang ulit ka nang nagpaalam,
At bawat paalam ay puno nang iyakan?
Nakapagtataka, nakapagtataka
Hindi ka ba napapagod,
O di kaya nagsasawa,
Sa ating mga tampuhang
Walang hanggang katapusan
(oh?)
Napahid na'ng mga luha,
Damdamin at puso'y tigang,
Wala nang maibubuga
Wala na 'kong maramdaman,
(hoh)
Kung tunay tayong nagmamahalan
Ba't di tayo magkasunduan?
(oh hoh hoh)
Walang tigil ang ulan
At nasaan ka araw?
Napano na'ng pag-ibig sa isa't isa?
Wala na bang nananatiling pag-asa?
Nakapagtataka, saan na napunta?
Hindi ka ba napapagod
,O di kaya nagsasawa,
Sa ating mga tampuhang
Walang hanggang katapusan
(oh?)
Hindi ka ba napapagod,
O di kaya nagsasawa,
Sa ating mga tampuhang
Walang hanggang katapusan
(oh?)
Kung tunay tayong nagmamahalan,
Ba't di tayo magkasunduan,
oh hoh ho hoo?
Hmmm...

LIHAM (E-Mail)



Ang E- mail na ito mula sa mga iskwela ko noong elementary. Kabilang sila sa St. Jude Class under the advisory of Mrs. Lescano. Sa Grade Five class ko sila ang pinakamahusay na set para sa akin kahit hindi sila cream section. Maganda ang discussion namin. Buhay na buhay.
Sa tulong ng internet muli kaming nagkaugnay-ugnay.Nakakatuwang malaman na marami sa kanila ay mga magaganda na rin ang buhay, may pamilya at yong mga pinunla kong aral sa kanilang mga batang isipan ay taglay pa rin nila sa kanilang isipan. Kabilang sa grade five class na ito ang isa sa miyembro ng Parokya ni Edgar.

Sir Ray,

kumusta na ho kayo? Si G.M. po ito, sana ay tanda niyo pa ako. Paborito kong subject noon ang Social Studies/Araling Panlipunan dahil sa husay ninyo magturo nito. Naging interesting ang pag-aaral namin ng current events, history, values at iba pang mga bagay ukol sa Pilipinas dahil nagawa ninyong masaya ang pag-aaral nito. Di ko makakalimutan yung mga salawikain, debate at general info contests natin. Sayang Sir, malayo po ang Canada (*akala niya nasa Canada ako) para sa ating Reunion dine sa Lipa.

Buti na lang at may internet, kahit paano'y may communication ang batch '86. By the way po, dito kami ngayon nakatira sa may V R S. Same street ng bahay ng Tito T M. Nagkita kami ng Tito T sa Mayo Reunion last April 30.

B.S. Economics ho yung course ko ng college pero nalinya ako sa field ng Sales. Halos more than 3 sales jobs na ho pinasukan ko - Gillete, Feedmix, San Miguel Beer. Presently, connected po ako sa isang textbook company handling Batangas Area. Ang wife ko naman po ay guidance counselor sa D L S L C. Mahirap pa rin ho ang economic struggle dito sa Pinas. Grabe pa din ang corruption at politika, maski sa private firms, palakasan system pa din. Pinaplano na din po namin ng wife ko mag-apply ng overseas job. Baka within 3 years po.

Sige Sir Ray, ingat po kayo and best regards.

Sir,

wala talaga akong masabi sa inyo! ang husay husay ng memory
ninyo. Talagang kayo ang ideal teacher dahil kilala ninyo ang bawat
isa sa amin at kayo pa ang nagpapa-alala sa amin ng mga bahagi ng
buhay namin nung kaliliitan pa at walang muwang. I've always looked
up to you as an Activist, a person with principles and a Nationalist.

I truly enjoy reading all the messages here. I'm sorry to say though
that I wasn't able to attend the reunion. I had to be in Manila that
day because of my participation in the Marian Exhibit at the EDSA
Shrine. I have a small religious shop in Robinson's Galleria aside
from keeping my regular job in a testing laboratory in Makati. Kaya
nga po, pasensya na sa mga classmates at talagang ngarag ngarag ako.
Hindi ko na nagawang sumilip nung reunion.

I am proud of all my batchmates and I am humbled by all your
achievements! Napakahusay at napaka-succesful ninyong lahat. I know
that nobody will disagree if I say that you, Sir Ray, are in one way
or another an influencing factor in the moulding of our ideals,too.
Kaya maraming salamat sa inyong paghuhubog sa amin. HInding hindi ko
makalimutan nung nagbakasyon before the Snap Elections. Sabi ninyo
nun(at tandang tanda ko ang mukha ninyo nun na kitang kita ang galit
at pag-aalala)- "HINDI NATIN ALAM KUNG MAGKIKITA-KITA PA TAYO
PAGKATAPOS NITO O SA BUNDOK NA TAYO MAGPAPANGITANG LAHAT."

Bihira na ang katulad ninyo na progresibo ang pag-iisip at nag-aalab
ang puso sa pagmamahal sa Inang Bayan at sa kapwa Pilipino. Nawa,
ang Batch '86 ay maging salamin din ng pagbabago at hindi
natatawarang prinsipyo sa aming mga sari-sariling piniling bokasyon.

At kay D S, well, well! I always remember you as my
classmate na naka-glasses ng makapal, tahimik, pangi-ngiti at
magaling mag-drowing ng VOLTES V ba yun? Tagal ko nang nakikisabay
sa saliw ng PAROKYA pero sa totoo lang, dito ko lang nalaman na ikaw
pala yung isa dun! Pinakagusto ko sa songs ninyo ang HALAGA, MANG
JOSE at syempre ang pinakawalang kupas na MR. SUWABE!

Salamat nga pala Sir Ray sa pag-accept ng invitation ko sa Friendster!

Mabuhay tayong lahat at pagpalain at palawigin pa nawa ng POong
Maykapal ang ating mga buhay!

LAST BREATH OF WINTER

The days are getting longer , the flowers and the trees are beginning to show new leaves and buds. Spring is just around the corner. The past days have been sunny and hot, although today its cloudy, cold and drizzling. Snows in the mountains are quietly melting away. Soon it will be time to put back the winter clothes and find something more light, colorful and breathable. I love spring cause I know summer is near. Just like a typical Leo whose star sign is the Sun, I am a Sun worshipper.Tatlong buwan pa, Summer na!

YOUNG AT HEART



Young At Heart

Artist:

Frank Sinatra/Perry ComoWords

by Carolyn Leigh and Music by Johnny Richards

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you if you're young at heart
(young at heart)
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind if you're young at heart
(young at heart)

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on the way
Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart
(young at heart)

For as rich as you are
It's much better by far to be young at heart
(young at heart)
And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

(Don't you know that it's worth)
(Every treasure on earth to be young at heart)
(For as rich as you are)
(It's much better by far to be young at heart)

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

INCOGNITO



Dahil po sa insistent public demand ng aking kauna-unahang gf sa blogging world, anak, nakakabatang kapatid, pamangkin, dyowa, mortal enemy na muntik na akong ipakulam eh! (parang incestous yata relationship natin, magagalit na naman mga moralista at mga self righteous) napilitan po akong mag-post ng aking pics, bagamat labag man po sa aking kalooban dahil nais ko pong maging incognito dahil sa patong-patong na kaso ng estafa na tinakasan ko sa Pilipinas kaya nga po ako nagpakalayo at namundok dito sa Otago, para mag-tago. (mahilig po kasi ako sa 5-6 at mangutang sa bumbay, sana manawari di sila nag-bloblog para di nila ako matrace).
Sa 'yo kaibigan na may psychic power at madalas kong maka-ugnayan through our mental telepathy (lugi sa atin mga telephone companies dahil sa ating pambahirang kakayahan) alam mo na siguro ang iniisip ko (kelan mo kaya padadala ang datung na inuutang ko?). Saka ko na lang ipopost ang meme sapagkat nagpapameme pa ako ng aking anak, dahil sa hindi ako nakameme ng husay ka gabi sapagkat ipinaghele ko sa duyan ng kalangitan kanyang nanay, upang mapasarap ang kanyang meme at kami ay makarame!

BLUEBERRY HILL


Blueberry Hill

(A.Lewis / L.Stock / V.Rose)

I found my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you

The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And Lingered until
My dreams came true

The wind in the willows played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
They were never to be

Through we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willows played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
They were never to be

Through we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

Oh you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

Sabi ng mamay ko hindi sumisibol ang kabuti ng walang katabi. Napatunayan ko ito dalawang sunod-sunod na araw. Dalawang milyonaryo sa loob ng dalawang sunod-sunod na araw sa Game KNB? Ang unang nanalo ay talagang magpalad sapagkat siya ay isang pharmacist at sinuwerteng ang napatanong sa kanya ay halamang gamot sa pilipinas. Yon namang pangalawang nanalo ang napatanong sa kanya ay mga mga brand ng relo. Anim na letra na nabigyan nila ng katumbas ng tamang kasagutan. Anim na kasagutan na katumbas ng isang milyon. Kaya ba ninyong maging milyonaryo katulad nila? Bigyan ng tamang kasagutan ang mga sumusunod na letra sa kategoryang napatoka sa kanila, sa loob ng 60 segundo.

LET YOUR LOVE FLOW



ARTIST: Bellamy Brothers

TITLE: Let Your Love Flow

Lyrics

There's a reason for the sunshine sky
And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high
Must be the season when that love light shines
All around us


So let that feeling grab you deep inside
And send you reeling where your love can't hide
And then go stealing through the moon-lit nights
With your lover

{Refrain}

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason


There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candle lights
Must be the season when those love rites shine
All around us
So let the wonder take you into space
And lay you under its loving embrace
Just feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back

{Refrain twice}

WINTER BLUES, SUMMER HEAT WAVE




Magpalamig muna tayo! Puro kasi init ang feature sa karamihan ng ating mga kablogkada, kaya para naman medyo makaramdaman sila ng konting ginhawa pakitaan natin sila kahit man lang sa larawan ng snow.
Bakit ba ganoon habang sila ay nagrereklamo sa sobrang init ako naman nagrereklamo sa sobrang lamig. Kaya siguro naloloka na ang panahon at Inang Kalikasan, sala sa init sala sa lamig, ano ba talaga kuya mainit ba o malamig?

Those were the days

Ang mga pics na ito ay kuha noong reunion namin ng high school class sa LPL. Buti na lang na-isave ko ito sa Web kasi nawala na ang mga pics ko nito. Hulaan na lang ninyo kung sino ako sa mga iyan. Hint: enjoy na enjoy ako habang nagpapakapa I mean habang hinahayaan ko ang aking teammate na laruin ang egglog na pinapagulong sa loob ng aking pantalon. (sa madudumi ang isipan nilabong o nilagang egglog ang tinutukoy ko)

10 Little Things

Kung tayo ay nasa labas ng ating Bansa paano ba tayo makakatulong sa pag-unlad at pagsulong ng ating bansa? May nabasa akong isang article tungkol dito kaya ipinasiya kong ibahagi sa inyo:

10 Little Things Every OFW, Balikbayan or Pinoy Expat could do to help develop our CountryBy Alexander Lacson
The man who wrote 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country shares with us 10 tips on what we, Pinoys abroad, can do to help develop our home country.


1) Spend your vacation, your dollars and other foreign currencies, in our Philippines.It is understandable for our OFW’s, balikbayans and Pinoy expats to vacation in other countries. The world is truly beautiful and majestic. But please spend some of your vacation time and some of your dollars in our Philippines. Every dollar that you bring into our country will help build our Philippines. It will help our tourism industry. It will mean more sales and more jobs for our local industries. It will mean an increase in our country’s international dollar reserves. It will help stabilize the peso. And ultimately, it will help stabilize our economy.
2) Encourage and teach your relatives back home to be good citizens & good Filipinos. Whether or not you are sending money to your relatives in the Philippines, you are one of their heroes. They look up to you as a role model. They listen to every word you say. Please teach them to become good Filipinos, to become good citizens. They can start with my book, 12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country. Please ask them to help me spread the message of the book. In particular, please ask them to “Buy local. Buy Pilipino.” A recent article in TIME Magazine said that the most crucial factor for economic progress is not foreign investments, but economic nationalism – i.e., when people learn to support their own country’s products.
3) All OFW’s, Balikbayans and Pinoy Expats should do more during elections in RP. In the next and all future elections, OFW’s, Balikbayans and Pinoy expats should do more by helping your relatives back home in choosing the right leaders – the national ones especially – for our country. Your relatives at home will listen to you. This means that as OFWs and expats, you need to surf the Internet and read the news so you’ll know which candidates should be elected to offices. There are organizations and websites which can help you decide. If it is true that there are at least 8 million OFW’s all over the world now, and if it is also true that every Filipino has at least 4 relatives, then the 8 million OFW’s have at least 32 million relatives back home in the Philippines. This means that the OFW’s and their families alone can determine the political leadership in the Philippines, our government, and eventually our nation as a whole.
4) Buy Pilipino, wherever you are in the world. If you look at the Japanese and the (South) Koreans, wherever they are in the world, they buy and patrionize their own products. They are like that too in the Philippines. That’s why there are so many Korean stores sprouting all over the country now. The Chinese, Thais and Malaysians are almost like them too, but in a less passionate manner. We Filipinos have a preference for imported products – the so-called “colonial mentality” - believing that Spanish and American products, ideas and ways were better and superior and that ours were inferior. But that’s history. Our Philippines is different now. There are many good Filipino companies with equally good Filipino products or brands. Look at Bayo, Kamiseta, Bench, Penshoppe, Jollibee, among others. In fact, some of the best branded products you see in New York, London and Italy are made in our Philippines. Please be an ambassador of the Filipino, by wearing Pilipino. Show to your foreign spouses and officemates and to the world, the elegance of our culture and beauty of our people. All these things begin with each one of us.
5) Adopt a poor child as a scholar back home. According to government sources, around 40% of our people are poor. But according to our bishops from CBCP, the figure is much higher than that, possibly at 53%. Since we have a population of almost 86 million now, imagine how many of that is 53%. Most of the poor are children, a great many of whom are out there in the streets, because their parents cannot afford to send them to school. My proposal is this – let’s adopt scholars among our poor street children. World Vision is an international foundation which offers scholarship for poor children. It has been operating in the Philippines for years. It looks for 2 groups of persons – the first are those poor children who really want to study hard, and the second are those who have extra funds and are willing to sponsor 1 scholar for only P450 per month. Yes, for only P450 a month, you can sponsor 1 scholar under World Vision. World Vision can give you the name, age, address and personal profile of your scholar so you can even mentor, visit, talk, or write to your scholar. If there are 5 million Filipinos and OFW’s today who are all wiling to sponsor 1 child each under World Vision, that would mean 5 million poor children can be adopted as scholars. These scholars will have a better future and will someday become our partners in building our nation. This could be one of the fastest paths to progress and social transformation in our country. And this is a very Christian way. Even Jesus Christ, who was born very poor in a manger, had to be adopted by Joseph.
6) Support a charitable organization. There are many good charitable organizations that truly help build our Philippines to become a better place for all of us. Gawad Kalinga, Pondo ng Pinoy, Caritas Manila and World Vision, among others. These groups are beyond the dirt and mirth of politics. Like most of us, you too are busy. Often, you will have not the time to help others. Charitable organizations are there to allow us to help others while we are busy. Every little help that you send will help one poor Filipino, often one poor child, in our country.
7) Teach your children about the Philippines, and to love it and its people. Teach your children and your foreign spouses, wherever you are in the world, about our Philippines – the home of the Filipino people, and the birthplace of our race. Let your children and your foreign spouses hear it from you – that you appreciate and love our Philippines. Because if they hear and see it from you, their beloved, they too will appreciate and love our Philippines. Or they will find a way, sooner or later, to appreciate and love it, because of you. I see that all the time, everywhere, in practically all the fathers and mothers in this world. Their sons and daughters often carry and continue their parents’ loves, causes and advocacies. If you make your children see and hear that you love our Philippines, believe me, someday your children will grow up with love and admiration for the Philippines in their hearts and minds.
8) Speak positively about our Philippines and our people. Sure, there are things that will disappoint and dishearten you in the Philippines, especially if you look at our government and the politicians who run it and those businessmen whose companies earn so much but who pay very little to their employees. But there are also many good things in our Philippines. We are a race capable of greatness and excellence, and you see this in the likes of Lea Salonga, Dr Josette Biyo, Diosdado Banatao, Efren Reyes, Ninoy Aquino, Jose Rizal, among many others. We are essentially a breed of honest people, and you see this in the likes of Nestor Sulpico, the Filipino driver in New York who, on 17 July 2004, drove 43 miles from New York to Connecticut, USA to return the US$80,000 worth of rare black pearls to his passenger who forgot it at the rear back seat of his taxi. We are a people of truly good hospitality even to strangers. We are a very caring and forgiving people. There is so much humanity and Christianity in us as a people. I really believe that, someday, we can be one of the most beautiful peoples on earth. Let us focus on our beauty and strengths, and build from there. You and all the Pinoy expats and OFW’s should be, and could be, the best ambassadors for our home country and people. Rafael Salas, the founder of the United Nations’ Population Fund, said that every Filipino is an ambassador of our country.
9) If you are remitting funds to your relatives in the Philippines, teach them to save 15% or 20% of the funds. If you are remitting funds to your relatives in the Philippines, please teach them to save at least 15% or 20% of the funds. Please teach your relatives the importance of savings. These savings seem small at the start, but even only after 2 years of savings, they will see the growth of their savings and how fast these are growing. Also teach them to take their savings away from reach and put them in high-yielding investments like mutual funds or treasury bonds. There are many good financial advisers in this area. Teach your relatives to consult one on a regular basis. The book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is good start. The book Pera Mo, Palaguin Mo by Filipino author Francisco Colayco is also very good. These savings, if handled and invested wisely, could mean the financial independence of your relatives from you in the future, or even from themselves. Teach your relatives to live simply and not to spend so much on unnecessary consumer items. There is so much beauty in simplicity. There is so much elegance in modesty.
10) Invest in the Philippines. Finally, if you have extra funds and are looking for ways to invest them, please invest in our Philippines. There are good investment advisers who can help. The Philippines is a growing market – an emerging market, in the language of international banks and financial institutions. If you have investment ideas that can cater to the basic needs and desires of these 86 million Filipinos, you will make it big in our Philippines. But more than that, every cent or dime that you invest in the Philippines will help our people and our country. And when you do it, you become our partner in building our nation. You become a good Filipino. You become a hero of our country.

May iba pa ba kayong maidadagdag?

ALAALA


Hinahanaphanap Kita

Rivermaya

Hinahanaphanap kita
Adik sa yo, awit sa akin
Nilang sawa na sa aking mga kuwentong marathon
Tungkol sa yo at sa ligayang
Iyong hatid sa aking buhay
Tuloy ang bida sa isipan ko'y ikaw.

Chorus
Sa umaga't sa gabi
Sa bawat minutong lumilipas
Hinahanap-hanap kita
Hinahanap-hanap kita
Sa isip at panaginip
Bawat pagpihit ng tadhana
Hinahanap-hanap kita.

Sabik sa yo kahit maghapon
Na tayong magkasama't parang telesine
Ang ating ending
Hatid sa bahay n'yo
Sabay goodnight, sabay me-kiss
Sabay bye-bye.

Repeat chorus

Narration: (use verse chords)
Pilit ko mang ika'y limutin
Lagi kong natatagpuan
Ang iyong tinig at awitin
Tuwing sasapit ang ulan
Pati lupang pinagsamahan
Mukha yatang nilimot na
Ang puso mong biglang lumisan
At may kapiling kang iba.(ooh...)

Repeat chorus except last line...kita.

Sa school sa flag ceremony
Hanggang uwian araw-araw
Hinahanap-hanap kita
Hinahanap-hanap kita
At kahit na magka-anak kayo't
Magkatuluyan balang araw
Hahanap-hanapin ka
Hahanap-hanapin ka.

Kisapmata

Rivermaya
Nitong umaga lang, pagka lambing-lambing
Ng iyong mga matang hayup kung tumingin
Nitong umaga lang, pagka galing-galing
Ng iyong sumpang walang aawat sa atin

O kay bilis naming maglaho ng
Pag-ibig mo sinta, daig mo pa ang isang kisapmata
Kanina’y nariyan lang o ba’t bigla namang nawala
Daig mo pa ang isang kisapmata.

Kani-kanina lang pagka ganda-ganda
Ng pagkasabi mong sana’y tayo na nga
Kani-kanina lang, pagka saya-saya ng buhay kong
Bigla na lamang nagiba

O kay bilis naming maglaho ng
Pag-ibig mo sinta, daig mo pa ang isang kisapmata
Kanina’y nariyan lang o ba’t bigla namang nawala
Daig mo pa ang isang kisapmata
