Today, we rededicate our church, and most specially
ourselves. Everything was great and everybody brought his/her specialty as a form of thanksgiving for all God's goodness for the entire year.Talking about food! I love the Thai Rice prepared the Marco family! It's a good thing a missionary to Thailand is a member of the family, haha! To Macy who is leaving on Tuesday, God Bless!What is this?? I got a couple of text message and a mis-call from Grace! (It's a good thing my phone is turned to "silent" mode, hehehe, it could have distracted me). But [...]

Saintdune.com Internet Center along Peñafrancia Avenue finally opened. I have now 12 PC's and the Photocopying machine will start operating this Thursday. I also added other services like book-binding, video editing and others plus school supplies are also available.How exhausting week it has been (physically and financially!). Now, I will start to establish good relation with costumers in order for me to win them. The difference between customers from J. Hernandez Branch and Peñafrancia Branch is that the former is located near a private school while the [...]

It’s been a long time since my last post (obviously!). Let me just recall what I have been doing in the last days.. Honnie and I have decided to expand the internet shop business we had started and move to a better, larger location. And we did found one along the busy street of Peñafrancia, just infront of the DECS Office. Everything worked out fine. We are to transfer by the middle of February. (maybe I will be posting more of this event by then.) As I have mentioned in my previous post [...]

Talking about a busy year-starter! When can I ever take a leave of absence during this time of the year? :)It is a good thing that the launching of the ID..or.. Previledge Card (what ever!) system was posponed

Again, I have to go back to my previous post about evangelism. Last Wednesday Early Morning Prayer Walk (Dec. 28), the last one of the year, we happened to pass by an old hotel along the busy streets of Naga. Our pastor was supposed to be on the frontline and I happened to be the last person on the line. But as I pass by the hotel I saw our pastor talking to a lady. It didn’t matter until we arrived back to the church to have some testimony about God’s dealing. One by one we [...]

This morning we visited our Aunt's house in Albay and came back around 4PM. We have to buy some things and hurry to church to practice for tomorrow's Sunday Worship.
Three hours from now and its Christmas. Many are busy with their Noche Buena. Christmas Eve rush that is. Everybody is going to celebrate Christmas tonight... Everybody... But sometimes the celebrant is left outside the house. Instead a big, fat guy in red suit is trying to steal the attention. Every table is set with delicious food but when the feasting started, no one ever invited the celebrant to [...]

You will never know when the end will come. I remember one time, there was a topic in
Naga Forum about being prepared for life after death. Forum members were arguing about the assurance of salvation. When will you ever prepare for this? When you die? We were made to believe that there was a purgatory (that was when I was still a catholic) so that when you die, people who are still living can do something, that is to offer a mass for the dead so they can go up to heaven. No… This was [...]

Christmas rarely falls on a Sunday. I hope no one will excuse himself and not attend a Sunday service because of the tradition of celebrating a Noche Buena.I had a very exciting December this year. It was always raining and it was very cold, at least now we really feel it is really December! What have I been doing, What are the events? Well, lets see... A friend from UK arrived two weeks ago. Our church sponsored a Christmas Party for the 120 Children of our outreach in Pili last December 17. We had the first gift-giving activity of

Evangelism, to make every opportunity to share God’s word… This has become the weakness of my Christian Life. For the past years, I’ve been looking for different Christians and attempt to examine how these Christians react and ultimately win an unbeliever. Ah, I got to think of a disguise, a perfect disguise. I got to be bad, real bad. But how would I be able to achieve this without putting my true character in jeopardy was a big question for me. Internet! Yes, the place where you can find different people, impersonators and lawlessness. [...]

8 December 2006Avenue SquareNaga City, PhilippinesWith Mr. Bicol Engineering Student Leaders Summit himself, Neil Erich Galicia, I set up this blogsite with all Bicolano alumni of our beloved
Ayala Young Leaders Congress in mind. We envision it to be a space in the the world wide web where all of us could share our musings, our sentiments, and our passions (in other words, a big part of ourselves), and be drawn together time and again in the spirit of solidarity, friendship, shared drives, common love for our [...]

PLEASE HELP THE VICTIMS OF SUPERTYPHOON REMING...Allow me first to take you out of your comfort zones and together let's journey through what is left of Bicol, particularly Albay, Legazpi City, Camarines Sur, and Naga City after Supertyphoon Reming ravaged our place.
The country has been declared to be under a State of National Calamity. This is practically due to the destruction brought by Super Typhoon Reming in most parts of our country, especially in the Bicol region which turned out to be the most devastated. As [...]

Here's the email I made especially for my Ateneo communities including Xavier Honor Dormitory and Gabay Scholars Organization, my organizations when I was in college (Above is the soft copy of our invitation) in connection with the 'Prayer and Solidarity Gathering' that we have organized for the victims of Supertyphoon Reming. Please feel free to make what I like to call "posts of support" for this project, for our less fortunate brothers and sisters greatly afflicted [...]

According to our ever-reliable, Naga-based weatherman, Michael Padua, through his
website, another storm is about to enter the Philippine area of responsibility tomorrow (Dec. 8), if not tonight. This tropical disturbance has already passed the South of Guam and has since then become active. It may hit Surigao, Samar & Bicol Region either Sunday or Monday (Dec 10 or 11) unless, perhaps, changes occur with the said system.(See this satellite photo from the same website: Tropical Disturbance pointed by the yellow arrow)According to another renown
stormchaser, [...]

Almost two years have already passed since I graduated from
Ateneo de Naga University with a Development Communication degree. Until now, I still look back at how I got into the course some years ago with fondness and intentness. I started out in college as an accounting student, with the dreams of passing the board, becoming a topnotch CPA; and then eventually proceeding to take up law to become a hotshot lawyer. But as fate would have it, I ended up traveling to Manila to begin a rather premature career in Network Marketing, Business Development, [...]

Last year, 2006, was the year I describe as my “wilderness journey�--in comparison with the Israelites' 40-year journey after the exodus from Egypt. Crossing from 2006 to 2007 is like the moment when the Israelites were about to cross the Jordan River to the promise land as told in
Joshua chapter 3. The people were given the instruction: Let the Ark (symbolizes the presence of God) cross first and follow it because the path is unfamiliar to them (verse 3-7). That’s why today as I cross into [...]

In the past days, Singapore just experienced the heaviest rain in 75 years and caused flooding in low-lying areas according to news reports. Many were caught unprepared and suffered business losses. Malaysia and Indonesia are now also sharing the same fate. Last month, Naga City just experienced one of the most destructive typhoons in history and same typhoon actually hit southern part of Vietnam, a place where typhoons seldom hit. What’s the cause of this extreme weather? Flooding in the Africa, Typhoons in Asia, drought [...]

Congress junked the impeachment complaint. Perhaps the most popular number combination at this point of time is 158, 51 and 6 overthrowing the previous popular number 79 that took the limelight for over a month. Just a few things we set eyes on: GMA says glad it’s over, sees a ‘glorious day’The defeated opposition threatens a “ghost� of the dead impeachment will hunt the administration.Two widows, a pastor and the rest of the opposition [...]

I don’t know what came to my mind. It’s just that in an instant, I’m starting a business. An internet café, that is. A businessman once told me, to start a business, you must take the first step otherwise it will only be a long lost dream. It will take guts to do so though specially that the economy is not doing well but then again, I took the first step! Well, hopefully it will be operational by August 8, 2005. Bless me Lord, indeed, enlarge my territory!
