Entertainment
Body Talk with Eva Reyes
FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo
Friday, November 14, 2008

BEVERLY HILLS, California — When our friend Tim Evans (of the US Immigration, assigned at the Los Angeles airport) invited Raoul Tidalgo and I to his cozy pad in West Hollywood, he said he had a big “surprise” for us.

True enough, when the big “surprise” walked through the door, Raoul and I couldn’t believe our eyes. We had to blink a few times at the widely-smiling beautiful (nay, still ravishing!) lady as if glinding on the ramp. Eva Reyes, would you believe! Still looking like the Miss Republic of the Philippines of 1972. She came with designer-friend Marden Iglesias who was visiting from the Philippines.

A brief backgrounder courtesy of Funfare’s “other beauty expert” Celso de Guzman Caparas (back at work in Saudi Arabia):

A native of Lipa City, Batangas (Vilma Santos country), Eva was a Karilagan model when she won Miss RP, beating 29 other candidates. She represented the country at the 1972 Miss World contest in London and finished one of the 15 semi-finalists (along with USA’s Lynda Carter who became an actress). The winner was Belinda Roma Green of Australia.

Eva joined showbiz soon after and was promptly nominated for Miss RP Movies in 1974 (the winner was Boots Anson-Roa). She also starred in the TV drama series Tadhana (1973, with Gloria Romero) and was launched in the movie Nueva Vizcaya (with Zaldy Zshornack and Vic Vargas, both deceased) which won eight awards, including Best Picture, at the 1973 Manila Film Festival. Her other films are: Diwata (for which she got a Best Actress nomination), Dragnet (with Pres. Joseph Estrada), Dakpin ang Straggler (Vic Vargas and Eddie Garcia), Ganyan Daw ang Umibig (with Hilda Koronel and the late Walter Navarro), Baticobra at ang Flying Salakot (with Lotis Key and the late Chiquito), Captain Marvel...Boom Zhasam (with Victor Wood), Huli, Huli ‘Yan (with Dolphy), Ulong Pugot...Naglalagot (also with Chiquito), Target...Eva Jones (with Eddie Garcia and the late Rita Gomez), South Seas (with Vic Vargas and the late Troy Donahue) and Dugo ng Tarikan (with Eddie Garcia, Vic Vargas and Elizabeth Oropeza).
She quit showbiz in 1977 and migrated to the States.

“I came here to find myself,” Eva said. “And I’m happy with what I found.”

She got married in 1978 and got divorced in 1989. Asked who her husband was, Eva said laughing, “He’s an ex and we don’t talk about exes, do we?” She has two grown-up sons from that failed marriage, Michael (28) who studied at Oxford in London and Christopher (26) who is a member of Mensa (people with very high I.Q.).

She is self-employed, working as a head-hunter and living alone in a big house not far from Beverly Hills.
On the side, Eva does charity work.

“Last September, we held a fund-raising event for John 15 Foundation founder William Kerr,” said Eva. “Beneficiary is our Payatas Fund project. We plan to improve the living condition of the residents of Payatas. You know who was the special guest at the event? Hollywood actor Martin Sheen!”

Since Tim’s birthday was fast approaching (Nov. 19), he treated us to a hearty dinner (burp, burp, burp!!!) at P.F. Chang’s at the Beverly Center (the same Chinese resto where, I heard, Kris Aquino and James Yap had dinner when they were in Beverly Hills).
Over dinner, I engaged Eva in a “body talk.”

What kind of diet do you follow?

“I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat fish or meat because I don’t want my body to absorb the suffering that the animals feel when they are being killed.”

Do you take any healthy mix?

“I blend apple, spinach, beans and carrots, and drink one tall glass at 10 o’clock every morning. That’s breakfast for me. At 12 noon, I drink three glasses of a mix of cucumber, celery, broccoli and, always a ‘must’, apples.”

How do you relax?

“I do yoga four times a week and alternate it with Pilates. I also meditate. I wake up at 5:30 in the morning and meditate on perfect health, on who I am and who we are as human beings. The good thing is that I have a positive attitude, a bright outlook on life.”

How much sleep do you get per night?

“I have to get eight hours. I usually sleep between 9:30 and 10 p.m. After meditating for 30 minutes, I go back to sleep and wake up at around 10 to take my first glass of ‘blended drink’. Luckily, I work at home, so I don’t have to go to an office and endure the traffic in L.A.”

Do you work out?

“I do, at around 12 noon right before lunch. There are three rooms in my house and one of them is a gym, upstairs. I do the balls. And then I work out some more at around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. I do a lot of Taichi.”

How do you cope with stress?

“I go to the spa every now and then. I’ve been attending seminars on enlightenment and spirituality... anything that improves the mind and the body, about new ideas. Believe it or not but one time I even walked on fire!”

How do you take care of your skin?

“You know, it’s important that you moisturize every night. I do that after taking a shower. But first, I apply organic oil all over my body. I clean my face before going to bed and, that’s it, moisturize.”

Is every part of your body, ehem, original?

“You mean, have I undergone plastic surgery? No, I haven’t. Not that I’m against it; it’s just that I don’t think I need it...yet.”

How much water do you take every day? They say that hydrating yourself is good for the skin.

“I take seven to eight glasses. That doesn’t include the ‘blended drink’ that I just told you about.”

You still look the same as you did when you won Miss Republic of the Philippines in 1972. Any part of your body that needs improvement?
“I would say...my legs.”

What part of your body is your favorite?
“My heart. Everything evolves from the heart.”

Have you maintained your Miss RP vital statistics?

“My measurements are almost the same, and so are my height (5’8") and my weight. I’m hyper-active and my metabolism is fast, so I hardly gain weight. I respect my body. It’s a gift from God and we have to take good care of it. You know, just because you see so much food on the table doesn’t mean that you have to stuff yourself.”

How often do you see your doctor?
“Not as often as I should.”

Your dermatologist?
“Once a month.”

How different is Eva Reyes then and Eva Reyes now?

“Oh, a lot! A world of difference! Before, I didn’t really know who I was; I didn’t know my values. Now, I know where I stand and what I stand for. I know the meaning of integrity and I know that I am responsible for everything that I do and for all my actions. Before, I just followed everything that was dictated to me. Now, I make my own choices and my own decisions. And one of my choices is to aim for the higher good.”

CRAZY LOVE

Category: Music
Genre: Classic Rock
Artist: POCO

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh, ooh crazy love
ahhhh haaa

Count the stars in a summer sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops comin' down

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh, ooh crazy love
ahhhh haaa

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
A faded memory

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh, ooh crazy love
ahhhh haaa

Tonight I'm gonna break away

Raymond Lauchengco - Farewell

FRIENDS

2007-10-31T19:50:00.000+13:00

I Am Your Friend poetry

You may not have ever seen me
But you know that I am here.
You can feel me in your heart
As you enter each new day.

I will always be there for you
I am your friend.

Someone to share the good times
As well as the bad.
I make no judgments by what you say
I just listen with my heart and
Hope to be of help in anyway I can.

I will be there for you now and forever
And always please remember
I am your friend!

True Friendship

True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart.
When there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing.
True friendship is a rare feeling, but when it is found
It has profound impact on our well-being, strength, and character.
True friendship does not need elaborate gifts
Or spectacular events in order to be valuable or valued.
To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction,
True friendship only needs a few key ingredients:
Undying loyalty, unmatched understanding, unsurpassed trust,
Deep and soulful secrets, and endless sharing.
These ingredients, mixed with personality and a sense of humor,
Can make a friendship last a lifetime!
This is just a thank you, my friend, for all the wonderful and colorful
Special ingredients You've brought to my life!
Pass this on to such a friend!

HIS EMINENCE GAUDENCIO CARDINAL ROSALES

2007-06-15T11:04:00.000+12:00

We were blessed and humbled by the presence of His Eminence Cardinal
Gaudencio Rosales Archbishop of Manila. He was here in Queenstown for two days with four other pinoy priest based in Auckland and Christchurch for a visit and he celebrated a mass in our parish Saint Joseph Church for pinoy and kiwi parishioners.
A native of Batangas Cardinal Rosales is a relative on the Mayo side of our family. His mother is a first cousin of the great filipino nationalist and senator Don Claro Mayo Recto.
Sa inyo po mahal namin at pinipitagang Mamay Cardinal maraming maraming salamat po at hindi namin malilimutan ang maksaysayang araw na nakadaupang palad namin kayo. Mabuhay po kayo sampu ng mga kaparian ng pinoy priest na nakabase dito sa New Zealand.

A LOVELY AUTUMN DAY

THE GAMBLER

2007-03-18T21:09:00.000+12:00

THE GAMBLER

On a warm summers evenin on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness
til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, son, Ive made a life out of readin peoples faces,
And knowin what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you dont mind my sayin, I can see youre out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice.

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if youre gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin
Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

So when hed finished speakin, he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count you r money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Ang politika sa aming lalawigan ay walang pinagkaiba sa plot ng tele-serye. Punong-puno ng drama, kontrobersiya, away pamilya(Recto Vs. Recto), aksyon (Sanchez vs. Ricky Recto) at iba iba pang sangkap para sa patok na tele-novela. May Vilma Santos na sa gobernador ay may Christopher De Leon pang tatakbo sa pagka-bise gobernador. Ala eh ang masasabi ko na lamang eh abangan ang susunod na kabanata!

BIKINING ITIM
Bert Dominic

Sa `yong inaakala nalimot na kita
Gayong ako ay laging tapat sa `yo sinta
Buhat nang mawala ka ako ay nagdurusa
Kahit ka nagtampo sana'y malaman mo
Mahal pa rin kita

Hinanap ka sa disco beerhouse at restaurant
Mayro'ng nakapagsabing ika'y nasa japan
Ako'y nangungulila ng anim na buwan
Dahil mahal kita alang-alang sa `yo
Magtitiis ako

Ang iniingat-ingatan ko kaisa-isang bikini mo
Na tinatago-tago ko pa
At katabi sa pagtulog ko
Ako'y dumadalangin na kahit manawari
Huwag sanang sungkitin bikini mong itim
Na alay mo sa `kin

Ang iniingat-ingatan ko kaisa-isang bikini mo
Na tinatago-tago ko pa
At katabi sa pagtulog ko
Ako'y dumadalangin na kahit manawari
Huwag sanang sungkitin bikini mong itim
Na alay mo sa `kin

Huwag sanang sungkitin bikini mong itim
Na alay mo sa `kin

Huwag sanang sungkitin bikini mong itim
Na alay mo sa `kin

Ano ga ang blogspot na ito at sapilitang pinalitan kahit ayaw kong mag-move out sa bago nilang edisyon. Hinuli nila ako sa log-in ko at hindi na ako makawala sa kanilang bitag.
Blogging inang yan eh, ayos din naman ang kanilang padahak parang mga politiko na magaling dumali ng pailalim. Padadamahin ka ng padadahamin hindi mo alam na may hidden agenda pala, kelan kaya malilipol ang mga anak ng putakting mga politikong iyan na matagal ng humuthot ng kaban ng yaman ng ating bayan. Kung ako lang ay makakatagpo ng mahiwagang lampara yan ang kauna-unahang hihilingin ko, mag-disapir lahat na mga gahaman at buhong na mga taong nagsasamantala sa katayuan at kapangyarihang kanilang kinaluluklukan.
Bago tayo tuluyang mapalaot sa dagat ng pagkamuhi at kawalan ng pag-asa sa kahabag-habag at lugmok na kalagayan ng politika sa ating bansa, mabalik nga tayo sa blogspot, mga kablogkada saan ga magandang mag-migrate o maglipat ng blog kung sakaling ayaw mo na dito sa blogspot. May alam ga kayong libre na malilipatan o makigaya na rin ako sa ilan sa inyo na magbayad para may sariling dot com. Ano kaya ang magandang titulo? garci.com (after com. garcillano), com.com ( commision at commision pa rin in honor of our politicians at mga corrupt na government officials), ti.com (para sa mga tikom ang bibig sa mga anomalya ang kabuktutang nakikita sa kanilang kapaligiran), hin.com (wag madumi ang isip, hin. para sa mga taong hindi makahindi at makatanggi sa tukso at kinang ng salapi, nagpapagamit kahit isangla ang puso at kaluluwa magkamal lang ng limpak limpak na kuwarta. Ok na ok rin ito para sa mga yes mam at yes sir na opisyales, hindi makahindi sa utos ng mga nakakataas kahit alam nilang mali ang inuutos basta mapabuti lang ang kanilang kalagayan at katayuan kahit na karamihan ay mapasama.) O sige mga kabloblogyan, bago ako magpaalam may maiimungkahi ga kayong ngalan ng dot com.

Bawat sandali na lang

Tulad mo ba akong nahihirapan
Lalo’t naiisip ka
Di ko na kaya pa na kalimutan
Bawat sandali na lang

At aalis magbabalik
At uuliting sabihin
Na mahalin ka’t sambitin
Kahit muling masaktan
Sa pag-alis
Ako’y magbabalik
At sana naman

Sa isang marikit na alaala’y
Pangitaing kay ganda
Sana nga’y pagbigyan
Na ng tadhana
Bawat sandali na lang
Sumabay sa biglang pagkabahala’t
Lumabis ang pagtataka
Tunay na pagsintang di alintana
Bawat sandali na lang

PINOY ITO!

Once upon a time in China , there lived a happy couple,

Mr. & Mrs.Chan with their 3 lovely daughters; Elaine , Ena & Ella.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.

Years passed, and it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable "leng chais" (handsome guys).

They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon. As 'concerned' parents, Mr.& Mrs. Chan were curious about their daughters' first-night experience.

So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs.Chan told them , "Your father & I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands' curiosity... you all must use a code to describe your experiences" .

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.

Mr. & Mrs.Chan got the first letter.

It was from Elaine . They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard

Chartered advertisement. "Ah! Here it is!" exclaimed Mr. Chan. The motto for Standard Chartered was.... "BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY." Mr & Mrs. Chan were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena . The content was simple. "NESCAFE" . So again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. "Ah! here it

is"..... 'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP.' Mr. and Mrs Chan jumped for joy.

Another week passed. A month passed. 2 months passed. There was still no letter from Ella . The Chans became worried. Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Chan managed to figure it out. The code was "PHILIPPINE AIRLINES". Mr. Chan, confused on why she chose Philippine Airlines, rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper.

He flipped the pages frantically. ...... "Ah! Here it is! " Mrs. Chan grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish ....

THUMP!... she fell off her chair... The Airline's motto was...

"7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP."

YOUR LOVE

2006-11-14T11:03:00.000+13:00

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

"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.

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

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

2006-10-09T23:44:00.000+13:00
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!!!)

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.

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?

LIHAM (E-Mail)

2006-09-09T15:10:00.000+12:00

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!

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

2006-08-20T09:51:00.000+12:00

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

(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

HINDI SUMISIBOL ANG KABUTI NG WALANG KATABI.....

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

2006-08-06T18:59:00.000+12:00

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}

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?

10 Little Things

2006-07-17T16:15:00.000+12:00
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?

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.

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

Isang Malamig na Umaga

2006-04-18T10:57:00.000+12:00

Pictures cannot give justice to the spectacular phenomenon na nakita ng dalawa kong mata isang malamig na umaga dito sa paligid namin. Noon lang ako nakasaksi ng ganoong tanawin. Kaya kahit sa larawan nais kong ibahagi sa inyo ang kakaibang tanawin na nasaksihan ko. Ang pagitan ng mga bundok ay naging makulay, buhay na buhay dahil sa adornong ipinutong sa kanya ng Inang Kalikasan. Hindi ko kayang ilarawan sa mga salita ang aking nasaksihan, tunay ngang walang manunulat o pintor na makakahigit sa mga sining na nilikha ng Dakilang Lumikha.

Tapos na ang summer. Malapit na muling bumalik sa regular time. Madalas na ring umulan. Ngunit pagkakatapos ng ulan umaaraw. Panahon na naman ng bahaghari. Kaya heto na naman ako panay ang three points (rainbow shot). Sino ba ngayon ang pinakamagaling na shooter beyond the rainbow arch sa p.b.a. o n.b.a.? May nakita ka na bang 6 points play? Heto ang aking 6 point play. Double rainbow shot.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it,
the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell,we know that it's probably magic....
Have you been half asleepand have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
.It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

Paminsan-Minsan

Richard Reynoso

Paminsan-minsan
Naaalala pa rin kita
Kahit ngayon mayr'ong nagmamahal na ngang iba
Tuwing maiisip mong damdamin nagbabalik
At para bang nar'yan ka pa sa aking tabi
Muling nadarama ang yakap ko
Matitikmang muli ang halik mo
Naririnig sinusumpang
Ako ay mahal mo
Chorus:
Paminsan-minsan ang alaala mo'y nagbabalik
At aaminin ko hanggang ngayon
Ika'y iniibig
Hinihiling ko na kahit nasaan ka man (ngayon)
Isipin mo ako kahit paminsan-minsan lang
Paminsan-minsan
Tinitingnan larawan mo
Unti-unting pumapatak ang luha ko
Pinagsisihan lahat ng aking pagkukulang
Kaya ikaw nga sa akin ay lumisan
Kahit ngayon mayro'n akong iba
Kahit sinasabing mahal ko s'ya
Sa puso ko ikaw pa rin ang mahal ko
Repeat Chorus:

Dont Give up on Us Baby

Don´t give up on us, baby

Don´t make the wrong seem right
The future isn´t just one night
It´s written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can´t change ours
Don´t give up on us, baby
We´re still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don´t give up on us,
I know
We can still come through
I really lost my head last night
You´ve got a right to start believin´
There´s still a little love left, even so
Don´t give up on us, baby
Lord knows we´ve come this far
Can´t we stay the way we are?
The angel and the dreamer
Who sometimes plays a fool
Don´t give up on us,
I know
We can still come through
It´s written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can´t change ours
Don´t give up on us, baby
We´re still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don´t give up on us,
I know
We can still come through
Don´t give up on us, baby
Don´t give up on us, baby

Somewhere Down The Road

written by Cynthia Weill and Tom Snow

recorded by Barry Manilow

We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time
Those dreams of yours
Are shining on distant shores
And if they're calling you away
I have no right to make you stay
But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me
Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
It doesn't matter if you're gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home
But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me
Letting go is just another way to say
I'll always love you so
We had the right love
At the wrong time
Maybe we've only just begun
Maybe the best is yet to come
Cause somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the roa
d I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me

Lyrics by Wency Cornejo:

Hanggang

Ilang ulit mo bang, itinatanong sakin
kung hanggang saan,hanggang saan, hanggang kailan,
hanggang kailan mag tatagal,
ang aking pag mamahal,
hanggang may himig pa akong naririnig,
dito sa aking daig-dig
hanggang may musika akong tinataglay,
ika'y iniibig
giliw wag mo sanang isiping
ikaw ay aking lilisanin,
di ko magagawang
lumayo sayong piling
at nais kong malaman mo
kung gaano kita kamahal
hanggang ang diwa ko'y
tanging sayo laan
mamahalin kailanman
hanggang pag ibig ko'y
hanggang walang hanggan
tanging ikaw lamang
hanggang may himig pa akong naririnig
dito sa aking daig-dig
hanggang may musika akong tinataglay
ika'y iniibig
giliw wag mo sanang isiping
ikaw ay aking lilisanin
di ko magagawang
lumayo sayong piling
at nais kong malaman mo
kung gaano kita kamahal
hanggang may puso akong
marunong mag mahal
na ang sinisigaw ay lagi ng ikaw
hanggang saan hanggang kailan
hanggang kailan kita mahal
hanggang ang buhay ko'y
kunin ng may kapal
giliw wag mo sanang isipin
ikaw ay aking lilisanin
di ko magagawang
lumayo sayong piling
hanggang may pag ibig
laging isisigaw, tanging ikaw
hanggang may pag ibig
laging isisigaw, tanging ikaw

FIRST LOVE

2006-02-12T11:28:00.000+13:00

Everybody has a first love,
they have left in yesterday.
Feelings they have left behind,
it's just a place in time but not so far away.
Everybody has a first love,
when the dream they shared was new.
I remember that special someone,
so I wrote this song just for you.
First love in my life.
Where are you tonight?
I wonder about you.
First love in my life.
Did things turned out alright?
I worry about you.
'Cause I've got everything,
everything in life that I wanted.
It would kill me now and make me sad to know you are lonely.
First love never dies.
I wish you love,
I wish you happiness.
And may the years be kind to you.
You'll always be a part of me,
share this thought with me.
I'll carry you always
First love, first love never dies.
RememberFirst love,
first love never dies.
I tell youFirst love,
first love never dies.
RememberFirst love,
first love never dies.
Whoa. . .

Kantang mula sa Seals and Crofts, isang kanta tungkol sa unang pag-ibig. Isang kantang tuwing naririnig ko naalala "kita".
Kumusta ka na ba? Sana naman masaya ka sa piling ng mahal mo sa buhay. Alam ko masagana naman ang iyong pamumuhay. Ang lalaki na pala ng mga anak mo. Ilan ba sila?
Alam mo ba noong nakita kita sa simbahan noong isang uwi ko, nandoon pa rin ang kakaibang pitlag ng puso ko. Bakit ba sa tinagal-tagal ng panahon hindi pa rin kita nalilimutan. Hanggang ngayon naroroon pa rin ang pananabik at pag-aasam na makita ka at masulyapan ka lamang kahit sa isang saglit. Nag-uumapaw na kaligayahan ang aking nadadama sa tuwing mamasdan kita. Nais kitang lapitan at kausapin ngunit atubili ako sapagkat baka hindi ko maikubli ang matindi kong pagkagiliw sa 'yo.
Noong magtama ang ating mga mata at ako ay iyong nginitian at binati walang katumbas na kagalakan ang aking nadama, hindi mababayaran at masusulitan ng anumang halaga. Hanggang ngayon nababanaag ko pa ang iyong ngiti, ang maamo mong mukha, ang iyong galaw, habang ikaw ay lumalakad palayo sa akin tinatanaw kita at inihahatid hanggang sa abot ng aking pananaw.
Ano nga kaya kung naging tayong dalawa? Ganito pa rin kaya ang sidhi ng pagmamahal at pagpapahalaga ko sa iyo? Pakupasin kaya ng panahon at mantsahan ng 'di pagkakaunawaan ang busilak na pagmamahal kong nadadama para sa iyo? Igupo kaya ng alitan at tampuhan ang ating pagsama-sama? Mabantuan kaya ng galit ang dalisay kong damdamin para sa iyo?
Maraming katanungan ang naglalaro sa aking isipan. Mga katanungan mananatiling na lang na walang kasagutan sapagkat gaya nga ng Hatol ng Kapalaran, hindi tayo para sa isa't-isa. Magkaiba ang ating landas. Mayroon ka ng pamilya at ako man ay mayroon na ring pananagutan. Kung sakali mang muli magkatagpo ang ating landas ito lang ang nais kong iyong matanto IKAW ang una kong pag-ibig at kailanman hindi kita malilimutan. Mananatiling ka dito sa aking puso sapagkat ikaw ang aking First Love.

Cause for Beatification of a Filipino Priest Underway

The cause for beatification of the Lipeño priest, first Auxiliary Bishop of Lipa and first Bishop of Lucena, Most Rev. Alfredo Maria Aranda Obviar, D.D, is in full swing in the Archdiocese of Lipa. This especially after the Sacred Congregation for the Cause of Saints in Rome recently allowed (given the Nihil Obstat) the study of his life, writings and pastoral care, for his possible elevation to the rank of the Blessed.
A very long and arduous process indeed, but with diligent prayers, sacrifice, and much legwork for research and compilation of evidence on the spirituality of this holy and self-effacing Batangueño, with God’s grace he could be the first Filipino priest to be elevated to that inspiring spiritual level.
A series of activities is scheduled this year, both in Parochial and Archdiocesan levels, all designed to honor his memory and aggressively promote the task of praying for the Cause and making him known, first, to his fellow Batangueños, and then to different parts of the world. These are also the Archdiocese of Lipa’s delighted response to the Diocese of Lucena whose Bishop, Most Rev. Ruben T. Profugo, D.D, made the first official pronouncement of the start of the preparation toward the Beatification Process of the holy man from Batangas and the Archdiocese of Lipa.
On Saturday, August 10, 2002, three successive events will be held. The blessing and inauguration of the Bp. Alfredo Ma. Aranda Obviar Center shall kick-off at 9:00 a.m., followed by the unveiling of a Marker of his former residence amidst the ruins of the Aranda Ancestral Residence at 10:00 a.m., and capped by a visit to his Private Chapel nearby.
The Bishop Obviar Center, situated at the SLD Bldg, 208 P. Torres St, Lipa City, owned by the Dolor Family, shall be blessed and inaugurated by the Most Rev. Gaudencio B. Rosales, D.D, Archbishop of Lipa. He will be assisted by Mo. Rene Rarela, MCST, Superior General of the Missionary Catechists of St. Therese and Mr. Danny Dolor, President of the MAKA-OBVIAR Laity Chapter, in cutting the ribbon. Bp. Obviar’s personal Memorabilia and Records shall be displayed at the Bishop Obviar Center for public viewing. It is also designed as an ideal venue for talks and conferences about the Bishop and his beatification cause.
Atty. Vicente K. Aranda, maternal nephew of the late Bishop, and Mr. Leocadio Obviar, a paternal nephew and President of the MAKA-OBVIAR Relatives Chapter, will assist Archbp. Rosales in unveiling the Marker at the ruins of the old Aranda home at 11 B. Morada St, Mataas na Lupa, Lipa City. This is the official residence of Bp. Obviar where he stayed on his private moments as Auxiliary Bishop of Lipa and later Bishop of Lucena.
Meanwhile, guests will be awed with the well-preserved private chapel of Bp. Obviar at the ground floor of the nearby building which the Arandas made their new home after the original was bombed during the Japanese occupation. Here is where the Bishop privately celebrated the sacraments with his family members. Both the ruins and the chapel shall be open to the public but bookings have to be arranged at the Bp. Obviar Center.
The MAKA-Obviar (Mga Angkan at Kababayan ni Obispo Obviar) is at the forefront of the Cause in the Archdiocese of Lipa. This Association, a brainchild of Archbp. Rosales, and formally launched on November 23, 2000, during the Batangueño’s first visit to the tomb of Bp. Obviar at Tayabas, Quezon, is as yet offered only to Batangueños – relatives, friends, faithful, religious and priests - because the first target of the information campaign on the good Priest and Bishop’s ministry and life will be fellow Batangueños and Batangueñas, many of whom do not know anything about Bishop Obviar now.
The crown jewel on Bishop Obviar’s priestly ministry is the congregation of the Missionary Catechists of St. Therese of the Infant Jesus (MCST) which he founded on August 12, 1958. With Formation Houses and Generalate at Tayabas, Quezon, it has 59 local and 12 foreign mission houses in different parts of the world. They were tapped to supervise the Catechetical Institute at Castel Gandolfo, the Holy Father’s summer residence. Of late, the sisters were tasked with house management of the Nunciature at the Vatican.
Such is the holy man and Bishop Alfredo Maria Aranda Obviar, a Lipeño, a true and full-blooded Batangueño. If God allows that he be counted among the first Filipino Saints, perhaps the first Filipino Priest Saint --- definitely he will be the FIRST BATANGUEÑO PRIEST SAINT!

The Bishop's Personal Information
Most Rev. Alfredo Maria Aranda Obviar was born on 29 August 1889 in Mataas na Lupa, Lipa City, Batangas to Telesforo Obviar and Florentina Catalina Aranda.
He received his early religious formation and education at the Jesuit College of St. Francis Xavier in Manila where he graduated in 1901. He earned his degree in Bachelor of Arts at Ateneo de Manila in 1914. He then proceeded to the University of Sto. Tomas Pontifical Seminary for Theological Studies.
The Rev. Obviar received the Sacerdotal Ordination on 15 March 1919. His pastoral ministry began that same year at Luta, now Malvar, Batangas, and continued as Pastor of the Cathedral Parish in Lipa City (1927-1944). In both parishes, he established Catechetical Centers at the Poblacion and the barrios. He was also Vicar General for the Archdiocese of Lipa.
After 25 years in the ministry, Fr. Obviar was ordained to the Episcopate on June 29, 1944 and served as the first Auxiliary Bishop of Lipa.
In January 22, 1951, Bishop Obviar was installed Apostolic Administrator of the new Diocese of Lucena. Motivated by his geat work for catechesis, he founded the Missionary Catechists of St. Therese (MCST) on August 12, 1958.
After more than 18 years as Administrator, Bp. Obviar was declared First Residential Bishop of the Diocese of Lucena on July 15, 1969.
On October 1, 1978, Most Rev. Alfredo Maria Aranda Obviar returned to his loving Father. Providentially, it was also the Feast of his patron saint, St. Therese of the Child Jesus.
PRAYER
Almighty Father, aware of our needs,
You always provide faithful shepherds for your people.
You made ALFREDO MARIA a faithful priest,
a true shepherd to the flock,
a model and an encouraging elder to his brother priests.

We thank You for having raised this servant
as an example of humble obedience to the Church
and a silent and committed witness
to the Paschal Mystery that is Jesus.

We also praise You, Father, because,
with filial love for Mary, Mother of Your Son Jesus,
You inspired ALFREDO MARIA to found
the Institute of the Missionary Catechists of St. Therese
in order to carry out the task of evangelization in Christ,
one that he started early in his Priestly Ministry,
and which is an urgent task in the Church today.

In Your loving compassion lead us always to do Your will,
even as we ask You the favor/ grace __________________,
wherein You may always be glorified
and Your faithful servant can be presented
as another example of holiness in the Church.

This we ask of You,
through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
You are God forever and ever.
AMEN.

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Pray for us.
St. Joseph, Pray for us
St. Therese of the Child Jesus, Pray for us.
St. John Ma. Vianney, Pray for us.

Ang middle name ng tatay ko ay Aranda. Tiyo niya sa Pinsan ang mamay pare o mamay obispo. Ang mamay pare ang nagkasal sa inay at tatay ko at sa lahat ng mga kamaganakan naming inabot ang panahon niya. Isa siyang ulirang kagawad ng Simbahan. With the blessing of God maaring siya ang maging kaunaunahang Pilipinong paring naging Santo at Santong Batanggenyo.

Mary Immaculate Star of the Morning

(Stand)
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning,Chosen before the creation began,Destined to bring, through the light of your dawning,Conquest of Satan and rescue to man.
We sinners honour your sinless perfection;Fallen and weak, for God’s mercy we plead.Grant us the shield of your mighty protectionMeasure your aid by the depth of our need.

Novena Prayer
Dear Mother of Perpetual Help * from the cross Jesus gave you to us for our Mother. You are the kindest the most loving * of all mothers. Look tenderly on us your children * as we now ask you to help us in all our needs * especially this one … (Pause to recall your petition). While you were on earth, dear Mother * you willingly shared in the sufferings of your Son. Strengthened by your faith and confidence * in the fatherly love of God * you accepted the mysterious designs of His will.
We too, have our crosses and trials. Sometimes they almost crush us to the ground. Dearest Mother * share with us your abundant faith and confidence in God. Make us aware that God never ceases to love us; * that He answers all our prayers * in the way that is best for us. Strengthen our hearts to carry the cross * in the footsteps of your Divine Son. Help us to realize * that he who shares the cross of Christ * will certainly share His resurrection.
Dearest Mother, as we worry about our own problems * let us not forget the needs of others. You always loved others so much; * help us to do the same. While praying for our intentions * and for the intentions of all here present at this Novena * we earnestly ask you, our Mother * to help us comfort the sick and the dying * give hope to the poor and the unemployed * heal the broken-hearted * lighten the burden of the oppressed * teach justice to their oppressors and bring back to God all those who have offended Him.
Dearest Mother, help us to avoid sin which separates us from our heavenly Father * and from one another. Full of trust in you * we place ourselves under the mantle of your maternal protection * and confidently hope for your powerful help. Amen.

Prayer for the Home
Mother of Perpetual Help * we choose you as Queen of our homes. We ask you to bless all our families * with your tender motherly love. May the Sacrament of Marriage * bind husbands and wives so closely together * that they will always be faithful to each other * and love one another as Christ loves his Church.
We ask you to bless all parents. May they love and cherish the children * whom God has entrusted to them. May they always give them the example * of a truly Christian life. Help them to bring up their children * in the love and fear of God. Bless all children * that they may love, honor and obey * their fathers and mothers. To your loving care * we especially entrust the youth of today.
Give us all a sense of responsibility * that we may do our part * in making our home a haven of peace * like your own home at Nazareth. We take you as our model. Help us to grow daily in genuine love of God and neighbor * so that justice and peace may happily reign * in the entire family of mankind. Amen.

Realizing, dear Mother, that you are our perpetual help, not only in spiritual but also in temporal necessities, we ask you to help us in our present financial worry. Because of unavoidable circumstances which have arisen in our lives, we are in great want and financial embarrassment, since we are unable to meet our honest debts. We are not asking, dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, for wealth, if the possession of it is not in accordance with the will of God; we merely ask you for that assistance which will help us to settle our present obligations. We believe, dear Mother of God, that you are extremely kind and generous to all your loving and devoted children. We plead with you, therefore, dear Mother, to obtain for us the help we so urgently need. We are trying so earnestly to solve our problem but we believe in your powerful intercession with Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son and our Redeemer. Amen.

Temptation
Mary, my Mother, your love for us could not be greater or more powerful. You are rich in love and your power brings us relief. You want everyone to be saved. I beg you therefore, protect me in temptation and strengthen me when I weaken. I struggle daily to be faithful to Jesus your son. Help me my Mother at every moment. But above all take me by the hand when you see that I am weakening and about to fall. I will have to battle with temptation till the day I die. My Lady, you are my hope, my refuge, my strength; never let me lose the grace of God. In every temptation I resolve to turn to you at once and pray: Mary help me. (St. Alphonsus)

Prayer for Company-Keeper
Eternal Father, through the powerful intercession of our Mother of Perpetual Help, I come to beg Your guidance and strength, during the important time of courtship.
Help us to realize, that genuine love, deep and lasting, is Your own gift to those who respect and reverence one another. Take from our hearts all trace of selfishness, so that in all things we may help each other to grow in true friendship. Convince us that true love will not hurt... use... or abuse the one loved.
To this end, keep ever growing in us an ardent love of Your Son and Our Saviour Jesus Christ, by means of constant prayer, and frequent Holy Communion.
May the bright hope of a happy marriage, make us determined to prepare well, by avoiding sin, and the dangers that can so easily lead us into sin.
We thank You for our love, and we desire to consecrate it to You. Keep it always pure, so that we may continue to live as worthy children of Mary our Mother and you our heavenly Father. We ask you this through the Spirit of Jesus, The Holy Spirit of perfect Love. Amen

Palawagin natin ang debosyon sa ating INA NANG LAGING SAKLOLO. Tunay siyang mapaghimala at mapagbigay. Debosyon, pananalig at pananampalataya para sa mapagmahal na INA.

LIPA CITY FIESTA

2006-01-20T13:36:00.000+13:00
San Sebastian Cathedral Lipa City
Lipa City's Patron Saint Saint Sebastian, Patron Saint of Archers and Soldiers. Feast Day every 20th of January

Saint Sebastian Sebastian died a martyr in Rome, probably in AD 288. His tomb in the place named Ad Catacumbas on the Via Appia has been venerated at least as far back as the time of Saint Ambrose and probably had some connection to Milan.
Two hundred years after his death a legend sprang up about his life. According to this legend, Sebastian, a Christian, decided to go into the military during a time of persecution. This decision was not to save his own life, but in order to put himself in a position to comfort the martyrs, as he did with Mark and Michelian. As a member of the military, the ones who captured and guarded the persecuted Christians, he was in ideal place to stay with them, encourage them, and even alleviate their sufferings without anyone being suspicious or keeping him out.
He showed such aptitude, however, in the military life, that the emperor Diocletian made him a captain without ever guessing Sebastian was a Christian. As more and more Christians died, it was inevitable that Sebastian would be found out. Diocletian was furious at what he saw as a betrayal after all he had done for Sebastian. He ordered Sebastian to be shot by archers.
Irene a Christian, found Sebastian still alive and nursed him back to health. As soon as he could stand, Sebastian went looking for Diocletian. Sebastian didn't want revenge or a reprieve. He wanted to accuse Diocletian of all the cruelties he had committed. Diocletian had Sebastian beaten to death.
A Sebastian proconsul of Diocletian is also mentioned in connection with the legend of Santa Inocenza.
Sebastian is considered patron saint of archers and soldiers based on this legend.
His Feast Day is on January 20, according to both the New Roman Calendar [The Divine Office, London: Collins, 1974] and the Old Roman Calendar [Omar Engelbert, The Lives of the Saints, London: 1951].

January 20 yan ang piyesta ng Lipa. Nagkataong ito rin ang kapanganakan ng aking ina. Kayang tuwing piyesta ng Lipa naghahanda ang buong bayan kasabay ng birthday ng aking pinakamamahal na inay. Sa inyo Inay, MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN at sa aking mga kababayang Lipenyo HAPPY FIESTA! Kainan na.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

2006-01-15T11:43:00.000+13:00

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high'
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
.Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Ka Huse at Ann, tama kayo Hedgehog. Ok pasado na kayo pwede nang host sa animal planet sa sky cable. Nang Ethel and Jo nice try. Better luck next time, baka makakaspot ako dine ng porcupine o possum o weasel. Noong nakaraang buwan nga ang gumagala dine sa palibot ay deer, mukhang nakatakas sa mga deer farm dine.

Sa aking mga kababayang nawawalan na ng pag-asa, huwag ninyong kalimutan ng pagkatapos ng unos at sigalot muling sisikat ang araw hatid ay bagong pag-asa.
Noong una nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa at paniniwala sa ating mga Pilipino, ngunit kapag nararamdaman ko ang pagmamahal at tunay na pagkalinga ng mga nakaugnayang mga bloggers muling bumabalik ang aking tiwala at pananalig na kaya natin ang mga balakid na humahadlang sa ating pag-unlad kung tayo ay sama-sama at tulong-tulong. Salamat sa inyo na bagamat di tayo nagkikita at nagkakausap na personal pinadama ninyo sa akin kung gaano kasarap at katapat makisama ang Pinoy. Damang-dama ko ang kadakilaan ng inyong puso. Marami pa tayong pagkukulang at maaring baguhin ngunit alam ko na nandoon ang malaking pag-asa, kaya pa ng bansa nating umunlad kung kakalimutan natin ang ating sarili at ipamamahagi natin ang ating kaalaman at biyayang tinataglay.
SA INYO ANG AKING MGA KAIBIGAN, KABABAYAN AT KAPATID NA MGA BLOGGERS ISANG TAOS PUSONG PASASALAMAT AT SANA ANG TAONG ITO AY HATID AY KASAGANAHAN AT KALIGAYAHAN PARA SA ATING BANSA, SA ATING PAMILYA, AT SANA KUNG ANO MAN ANG INYONG MINIMITHI AT INAASAM AY MATUPAD SA TULONG NG PANANALIG UNA SA POONG MAYKAPAL, SA ATING SARILI AT SA ATING KAPWA. MABUHAY!

The sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway.
I've never seen such a day,
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white

Yan ang kantang nababagay sa mga Kiwi kasi ang pasko sa kanila ay summer. Hanggang pangarap na lang sila ng "White Christmas" kung sila ay nasa New Zealand o kahit nasa Australia, kasi nasa Southern Hemisphere sila kung saan reverse ang season ng Northern Hemishere. Habang ang taga Europa at North America ay taglamig at namumuti ang kapaligiran dahil sa niyebe sa New Zealand naman ay luntiang-luntian ang paligid at sumisikat ang araw. Mangarap na kayo ng White Christmas basta ako sa Pinoy Christmas pa rin.

I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

I’m dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it’s a long road back
I promise you

I’ll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I’ll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Kumusta na kaya ang inay?Ang aking dalawang kapatid, mga pamangking si Tisoy, si Danda, Nicole, Jewel at ang pinakabagong dagdag sa lahi na si Emmanuel (tamang-tama ngalan niya sa pasko). Siguro ang saya kung kami ay sama-sama ngayong Pasko doon sa aming bahay sa San Sebastian. Maingay. magulo, panay ang kodakan, iritan, halakahakan ng mga bata, kulitan, kung minsan iyakan. Parang nakakita ko ang pamimilog ng kanilang mga mata at hindi mabibiling tuwa nila sa bawat regalong kanilang natatanggap at binubuksan. Bulol pa rin kaya si Tisoy, mahilig pa rin kayang mag-sasayaw si Danda at Nicole, si Je kaya mahiyain pa rin Siguro ang lalaki na nila.
Kumusta na kaya ang mga tiya at tiyo ko sa aming compound. Sana lahat sila ay nasa mabuting kalagayan. Medyo mahirap ngayon ang katayuan ng buhay sa Pilipinas, pero alam ko naman na sila ya masaya sapagkat sila ay sama-sama at nagtutulungan anuman ang hinaharap na hamon ng buhay. Lahat ng kapatid ng aking ina ay nandoon sa iisa compound, maliban sa tiya naming nasa Canada. Ang ingay-ingay siguro lalo na at bakasyon na ang mga bata, mga anak ng aking mga pinsang buo. Ang tiya Piday kaya kumusta na ang paa niya, ang tiya Belen ang matulungin at napakabait naming tiya na santa Claus ng pamilya. Siguro mamiss din nila kaming nasa abroad. Ilan na ba kaming magpipinsang wala sa Pilipinas. Marami-rami na rin. Naalala ko tuloy namayapa kong lolo ayaw na ayaw niyang paalisin kanyang mga anak para mag-abroad gusto niya sama-sama kaya heto mga anak niya nasa isang malaking compound na nilotelote niya para tayuan ng kani-kanilang bahay. 10 lote para sa sampung anak. Dinaan sa bunutan para walang lamangan. Napakaparehas talaga ni Mamay. Miss ko na rin siya. Siya ang jeprols na lolo, masayahin at mabiro.
Wala man kami diyan sa atin, ang puso namin at diwa ay lalaging naririyan sa ating tahanan nakikiisa, nakikipagsaya sa pagdidiwang ninyo ng pasko. I love you inay, mga brod, mga hipag, mga cute na pamangkin Tisoy, Danda, Nicole, Jewel, Emmanuel, mga tiya, tiyo, at to all of you cousin bears MERRY X'MAS and We' ll be home for christmas , kasalo ninyo at kasama kahit sa aming pangarap lamang.

Christmas in New Zealand
In New Zealand Christmas is combined with summer holidays, so as well as present-buying and parties, families are preparing for trips to the beach. Shops are decorated with Father Christmas in his red cloak and white beard, as well as snow scenes.
The New Zealand traditions of Christmas have mostly come through the English settlers who began arriving their in the late 18th Century. In the last 20 or 30 years the persona of Father Christmas had changed and he is referred to as Santa Claus and has become much more like the Santa of the United States and Ireland. As well people have been forced to change as a result of the Maori culture. The spirits and creatures of the Maori culture resemble the elves and gnomes of European Christmas traditions.
They celebrate the story of the birth of Jesus Christ with a special service, which is appropriate to New Zealanders way of life as they had no motels, and they have many shepherds who take care of their flocks, in doing so they can see the true meaning of Christmas.
In New Zealand the traditional Christmas dinner is roast turkey with vegetables and sauces. For dessert it is rich, fruity Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. Mince pies, pastry cases filled with a mixture of chopped dried fruit.
IBALIK NINYO AKO SA PILIPINAS! GUSTO KO NG MAG-SIMBANG GABI AT KUMAIN NG PUTO BUMBONG, BIBINGKA AT UMINOM NG SALABAT. GUSTO KONG MAKAKITA NG PAROL AT MAKARINIG NG WALANG TIGIL NA TUGTUGAN NG MGA CHRISTMAS CAROL AT MAKUKULIT NA MGA NANGANGAROLING.

CHRISTMAS IN QUEENSTOWN 1

2005-12-14T15:14:00.001+13:00
Dahil Christmas ngayon pati comfort room sa amin sa Queenstown ay Christmas spirit. Ang mga pics na ito ay sa Sofitel. Napafeature na dati ito sa ibang news dahil nga sa unique na loo nila (ang loo po tawag sa comfort room dito sa New Zealand. Pinagmamamalaki ko rin pong sabihin sa inyo na sang-ayon sa research ko (Atoy Baron Claus) taga Queenstown ang sumulat ng kantang Jingle Bell Rock
Nakuha niya ang inspirasyon na ito habang jumijingle siya dito sa toilet ng Sofitel. Kaya halina kayo sa c.r. at magrelease ng mga ininom pagkatapos ng drinking party ng Christmas celebration. Jumingle sa saliw ng "Jingle Bell Rock" habang may nakatitig na magagandang model. Talagang tigasin mga Kiwi lalo na mga taga Queenstown kaya niyo bang jumingle habang may sumusukat sa inyo. Rock!
Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
R O C K.

LUNTIAN AT BUGHAW

2005-12-13T08:13:00.000+13:00
Kapag ako ay may suliranin, di mapakali dagli itong naiibsan kapag aking natatanaw luntian at bughaw kong kapaligiran.
Marahil kaya ayaw ko ng gulo at iringan nasanay na ako sa katahimikan nitong aking kinalalagyan.
Tuwing ito ay aking mamasdan nadadama ko ang kadakilaan at kabutihan ng Dakilang Lumikha.
Parang ako ay nasa langit na, tahimik at malayang binaybay kariktang tanging Siya lang ang makakagawa.
Lahat ng galit at inis ko sa mundo at kapwa tao, parang bulang naglalaho.
Kapag ako ay nasa luntian at bughaw na paraiso.

Kaya sa inyo mga kaibigan ko
Masisi ba ninyo ako
Kung ayaw ko ng gulo
Katahimikan at kapayapaan
Aking hangad
Siyang maibahagi sa ating lahat
Tahimik at mapayapang isipang
Nagmumula sa puso at diwa
Kapag pinahahalagahan mo
Kabutihan at kadakilaan
ng Dakilang Lumikha.
Hindi sa salita
at puro ngawa
dapat ipakita sa gawa
kung nais talagang maging mapayapa
itong ating mundong ginagalawan.
Kapayapaan para sa lahat!

ANO BA ANG TUNAY NA DIWA NG PASKO?

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

Heto ang mga iba pics ng aking kaibigan. Buddy kami kasi hindi siya lumalayo kahit nalapit ako sa kanya. Unti-unti lumalapit hanggang sa halos nasa tabi na niya ako. Kayang-kaya na namin siyang barilin kaya lang nakakaawa naman dahil hindi siya mailap kaya tinutukan ko na lang siya ng camera. Lumalayo lang siya ng lumabas na ang kanyang kapartner na inahin. Hindi ko maayos ang sequencing kasi nagloloko ang blogger hindi ko maiayos ang mga litrato. tawag dito ng bayaw ko quail pero hindi ako sigurado pansinin ninyo ang adorno niya sa kanyang ulo siya kaya ang ibong adarna?

Bought a "Gamo" Air Pistol model p-800 for the Kids this Friday. Summer vacation is fast approaching and the kids need activities to keep them busy this vacation. Kuya and I did some target practice then later a pair of quail appear pero i told my kid not to shoot it kasi kala mo domesticated hindi mailap nakakaawa naman. Instead i shoot it with my digital camera. Kuya had to roam around for his hunt. May pagkahunter yata itong eldest ko mana sa kanyang lolo kasi gustong paltan namin yong handgun ng rifle para mas malayo ang range to hunt for birds and rabbits. I'll post later yong iba pang kuha noong bird at pati itong aming kapaligiran o hunting ground.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

2005-12-01T13:16:00.000+13:00

Ngayong umaga inihatid ko ang mga bata sa gate para sumakay sa School bus. Pagbalik ko kinunan ko ng pics ang daan papunta sa bahay. Last day na ng school ni Kuya samantalang si Bunso ay hanggang sa kabilang linggo pa. Mas unang nagbabakasyon ang "highschool" kesa "elementary". First week pa ng February ang pasukan nila at iba ng school year ito, ang haba ng kanilang chirstmas and summer vacation. Ang bilis ng panahon level eight na si Kuya at level five na si Bunso sa next school year. Heto lang ang ganda dito ng pagpasok. Halos wala ng binabayaran sa eskwelahan, pati school bus libre at may family assistance pa pag hindi kalakihan ang iyong suweldo. Kung ang mga bata naman ay nagkolehiyo na maari rin silang mag-avail ng student loan para sa kanilang pag-aaral. Tinutulungan din ang magulang sa pamamgitan ng financila assistance kung may mga anak na sila sa kolehiyo kung kabilang sila sa mga low income earner.

Nakakalungkot lang gunitain na ang kumitil din sa iyong buhay ay kapwa mo Pilipino. Biktima ka ng politika, rehiyonalismo at inggit na hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa ring sumisira at umiiral sa ating bansa at sa kalipunan ng mga Pilipino sa loob man at labas ng bansa. Kahit dito man sa blogging world intriga at politika at inggit ay sumisira at kumikitil ng pag-asang umusbong ang tunay na diwa ng pagkakaisa at pagsama-sama ng mga pinoy para sa kabutihan ng lahat.

Lahat ng pics na yan ay kuha sa loob ng bahay kasi medyo tinatamad pa akong lumabas papitik-pitik lang muna tayo. Happy Birthday uli Nang Ethel and sana makarating ka dito sa New Zealand. (Ang lake diyan ay Wakatipu at nasa likod ng bahay samantalang ang bundok sa may hulihan na pics ay Remarkables mountain. Napapalibutan kami ng bundok at lawa dito sa Central Otago Southern Lakes)
MATUD NILA
Pilita Corales

Matud nila ako dili angay
Nga magmanggad sa imong gugma
Matud nila ikaw dili malipay
Kay wa ako'y bahandi
Nga kanimo igasa

Gugmang putli mao day pasalig
Maoy bahanding labaw sa bulawan
Matud nila kaanugon lamang
Sa imong gugma ug paraig

Dili molubad kining pagbati
Bisan sa unsa nga katarungan
Kay unsa pay bili ning kinabuhi
Kon sa gugma mo hinikawan

Ingna ko nga dili ka motud
Sa mga pagtamay kong naangkon
Ingna ko na dili mo kawangon
Damgo ug pasalig sa gugma mo

Damgo ug pasalig sa gugma mo
Pasensiya sa kanta heto lang alam kong visayan song.

Pagkatapos ng Bugtong Mag-Salawikain naman tayo. May maidadagdag ba kayo sa mga salawikaing ito. Pwede sa sarili ninyong diyalekto kaya lang pakisalin sa Pilipino para maintindihan ng iba

Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa.
Ano man ang gagawin, makapitong iisipin.
Ang hindi napagod magtipon, walang hinayang magtapon.
Madali ang maging tao, mahirap magpakatao.
Ang tunay na anyaya, sinasamahan ng hila.
Ang magalang na sagot ay nakakapawi ng poot.
Ang gawa sa pagkabata, dalahanggang pagtanda.
Pag di ukol, ay di bubukol.
Kung sino ang masalitaay siyang kulang sa gawa.
Daig ng maagap angtaong masipag.
Ako ang nagbayo ako ang nagsaing iba ang kumain.
Ubus-ubos biyaya, pagkatapos nakatunganga.

Kung walang, tiyaga, walang nilaga.
Kung ano ang puno, siya ang bunga.
Kung may itinanim, may aanihin.
Huli man daw at magaling, naiihahabul din
Kung di ukol, di bubukol.
Kung may isinuksok, may madudukot
Aanhin pa ang damo, kung patay na ang kabayo
Ang taong nagigipit, sa patalim kumakapit
Ang tunay na anyaya, sinasamahan ng hila.
Ang taong walang kibo, nasa loob ang kulo.
Ang bayaning nasusugatanNag-iibayo ang tapang.
Kapag apaw na ang takalan, kailangan kalusan.
Habang maikli ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot.
Ang magalang na sagot, nakakapawi ng pagod.
Ang mabigat ay gumagaaan, kung pinagtutulungan.

Naghangad ng kagitna, isang salop ang nawala.
Pagkahaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy.
Ang buhay ay parang gulong, minsang nasa ibabaw, minsang nasa ilalim.
Ang umaayaw ay di nagwawagi,ang nagwawagi ay di umaayaw.
Malaking puno, ngunit walang lilim.

"Salawikaing" at quotation nabasa ko sa jeepney.

Nasa tao ang gawa....kaya madaming bata.
basta drayber sweet lover
basta lubak iwas basta butas pasak
Its foolish to argue with the pulis.

No parking, sa hindi mo darling
God knows HUDAS not pay!

Natutuwa ako kasi mga henyo ang aking mga kalaro pag dating sa mga bugtong ngayon naman maglalaro kami ng ungoy-ungoyan, (nang ethel sa yo ako kumuha ng idea nito, yong iyong monkey-monkey). Ganito ang inyong gagawin. Kung nasaan man kayong bahagi ng mundo hanapin ninyo ang pinakamalaking silver coin ng inyong lugal. Dapat makinang ito at hindi luma. Kung mayroon na kayong hawak umpisahan na natin ang larong monkey-monkey. Hawakang ninyong mahusay ang coin at titigang mabuti. Ngayon tingnan ninyo anong imahe ang nakalagay diyan. Tao ba, hayop, o halaman. Kung ano man siguradong may disenyo yan ng mga imahe. Pero alam ba ninyo na may sikreto yang mga coin na yan. Opo sa inyo ko lang sasabihin na may hidden image yan na napagkaisahan ng lahat na bansa upang hindi ma counterfeit. Ngayong tingnan ninyong muli ang coin na hawak ninyo. Titigang mabuti, hanapin ninyo ang unggoy na may hawak na coin. Nakita ba ninyo? Titigan ninyong mabuti huwag kayong kukurap. Hindi pa rin ninyo nakikita? Sa susunod ko na lang na posting sasabihin sa inyo ang kasagutan (he. he. he. wag kayo galit nag-ungoy-ungoyan lang tayo.)

Ngayon naman dumako tayo sa tagisan ng talino.
1. Ebak ng ano ang bilog-bilog na maiitim? nasagot ninyo, ang galing
2. Ebak ng ano ang parang ensaymada at madalas makita sa damuhan? nasagot ninyo, mahusay.
3. Ebak ng ano ang nasa diaper? you've answerred it right talagang mahusay kayo.
4. Ano ang pinakamahabang ngalan ng lugal sa buong mundo na matatagpuam sa New Zealand? Hindi ninyo alam. Ayaw ko nang magtanong sa inyo, wala kayong kakuwenta-kuwenta wala naman palang laman ang inyong utak kundi ebak! (ho, ho, ho joke only wag mapipikon pasensiya na sa taong walang magawa. sowee dark blak kung inagaw ko slogan mo, peace!)
