TO DECORATE YOUR HOME IN A UNIQUE BUT GLAMOROSO WAY.

I visited one of my friends in Laguna Niguel, the place where Frances and I lived during my first more than a year stay in USA, and I was surprised to see a Christmas Tree that was placed upside down in two of the corners of their house. Isn't it uniquely glamoroso? See! What can you say and how about that this Chrstmas 2008? Lalo na kung medyo maliit ang bahat at kulang sa space di ba?



TRIVIA: In the Western countries, September is the month when commercial centers start off with their CHRISTMAS TREE FALL CONVENTIONS AND TRADE SHOWS. Though some States in USA put up up their Christmas Trees after their most important holdiday, Thanksgiving!!! The cheapest of these trees and Christmas decors maybe be bought after New Year's Eve! Sale na hahaha!!!

YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE THAT PAGES 1-67 WERE LOCKED TO AVOID ANY PAGES TO BE TRUNCATED IN THE FUTURE IN THE EVENT THAT NEW POSTERS MAY ERRONEOSLY POST THERE AND ACCIDENTALLY COLLAPSE SOME PORTIONS OF OUR SITE! HISTORY NA KASI SAYANG DI BA! THOUGH IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO ADD OR EDIT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INFORM ME SO I MAY UNLOCK IT FOR THAT PUSPOSE! Salamat po!!!

Larry - super ganda ang forumotion and madaming barista. With regards to Susan Alonzo pictures, kindly visit our multiply account (ahsbatch77) and locate under Ricky Polo Birthday and other compiled pictures. Item number 18 and 24 for your info. Thank you Larry sa lahat na ginagawa mo para sa batch natin and i just hope and pray that all of us will be one again for the sake of our ALMA MATER.

Hello to all of you & I'm happy to inform you that we have a new additional starbatchers here na si Elizabeth 'Beth' Cabling. I told Larry that Beth found me & she's willing to get in touch with all of us na ka-batchmates niya sa AHS. Actually she's now staying in U.K., I invited her with the permission of Larry & here's Beth's personal e-mail to me:

"Hi Letty,


Just to let you know I have registered at Starbatch.

Spoke to my sister in law (who is in the USA) and she said that
she knew your Father & Mother. She was very surprised to hear that
we were in touch after all these years.

Best Regards to you & your family.

Beth"

Siyempre my "ADVANCE WARM WELCOME TO HER DITO SA ATING AHS '77 STARBATCH KAPIHAN" forumotion link. Looking forward to see her message here. For sure, she will introduce herself to all of us once she post her first message here.

Regards to all of you,
Letty

Hi sa inyong lahat ulit!

Larry -> oo nga, start na naman ng "ber" di ba? Meaning, malapit na ang Pasko. Thanks Larry, kasi you gave me an idea kung papaanong ibahin ko naman ang Christmas decoration namin sa bahay, medyo unique & nice (space-saver talaga) the Christmas decoration you've posted in one of the corners of the house. Thanks too for updating the photo of Roel sa upper portion nitong link natin. It's really nice looking always in those pictures, talagang mas nakaka-inspire magpost. And about the copy of the COC, I've e-mailed it to you na, with cc to the Comele Committe (Chairman & members), as well as to the present Pres. & Sec. of our batch. Supposedly, included dapat ang COC sa Resolution No. 1, kaya not allowed to run in any position yung mga nasa abroad & outside the NCR na permanenteng nakatira doon, kasi kailangan ang mga officers & board members ay kailangan ang presence sa mga meetings & other activities of the batch. Anyhow, you can inquire further if you have some questions regarding the COC.

Manny C. -> hi & pati ikaw ay na-impressed din ba sa magandang pagbabago ng set-up ng forumotion link natin?

To all of you batchmates -> God bless & regards!

Always,
Letty

Thought for the day: "Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except GOD"!

Hi Batchmates and hello to all of you,

Larry,
This pictures you prepared is really great ang galing mo tlaga !! Nang wala ang picture ko dun sa vacant slot agad akong nag-sent ng email ke Mareng Letty kako I have my poging picture with me at please tell Larry to paste it asap to my blank space ayun when I opened it up andun na agad. Thanks Larry I appreciated so much your fast response.
Alam mo maganda ang talakayan sa issues and I look at Manny Ace he’s smart too he can relate to the topic very well. Bilib ako sa kanya. Binasa ko ang resolution o baka diko lang maintindihan,it looks like yung mga nasa abroad are not given the priviledge to vote in the coming election. Am I right ? Can you look on the positive side on this?

Mareng Letty,
Ang bilis ng kumare ko ha? Talaga nga naman oo, ganyan tlaga pag smart that means you deserve this. Natawa ko dun sa email message mo ke Jun Recidoro at Pareng Roel sa mga magiging anak na gawing ninong at ninang. Aba magandang idea yan kaya lang my kids are still young yung eldest ko is only 17 and my youngest is 13 yrs old. Kung sana 7 yrs old pede maging ninang sa kumpil. Pwede pa kaya ang anak ko at age 13 yrs makumpilan at kunin kitang ninang?Pati si Mareng Ehris my lovable kumare from Australia down under. Pakitanong mo nga hane? Naku swerte mo dun sa aking panganay dahil super talino nun para mo ng nakita sa Noreena Bibot Lansang and I’m really a proud daddy.
I’m sure matutuwa ka sa batang yon dahil ang bait bait niya,magalang, reads bible palagi, very productive at focus sa studies. She is one of the brightest student sa UP Rural High School sa Bae Laguna at weekend lang siya uwian because students there are given boarding house by the school para matutong maging independent. I bet you will admire my young kid at mamahalin mo siya. She has everything what a mother wants. Just like your daughters too.

Mareng Ehris,
Naku Mards ang ganda ganda mo pala sa pinadala mong pics kasama mga kids mo at pati si Mr Ho. Hanep you look young and like 30 yrs old no wonder tama ka nga na sa isang disco na pinuntahan ninyo gusto ko isayaw ng mga young kids and they thought ka edad mo lang sila hehehehe…di halata sa edad tlaga. Iba na ang maalaga sa health. I like that keep up the good work. I also sent email to you separately.
I’m feeling ok and relax now. Napalayo lang ako sa kinatitirhan ko dahil yung utol ng brother-in-law ko dinalaw ako sa bahay at pilit akong sinama sa kanila para dun magpalipas at magpahinga at mag-alaga ng baby nila. Ginawa pa akong nanny ng damuho…pero ok lang at nag enjoy naman ako. Di rin naman ako pwedeng magbuhat ng baby at mabigat na. Nilalaro kolang palagi katuwa dahil I enjoy kids lalo na baby boy kasi wala akong baby boy puro baby girls.

I like your kwento about life in the midst of all uncertainties. We all experience the same maski sino ganun din. But sabi nga ng iba time heals wound and a new beginning unfold. Sa umpisa lang ang heartaches kumbaga pag nailigo tanggal ang alis hehehee….


This one’s another worthwhile time to sit and ponder while reading. I hope batchmates will appreciate something here because it relates to our life and the life that we choose to uphold. Pardon me sir/madam, I may not be that professional writer after all, but to share this idea is one way for us to uphold and at least touch the heart of others.


THE ESSENCE OF SUCCESS

Written by : James Dungca
31 August 2008, Doha Qatar

During old times, people survive only to meet both ends. To struggle, hunt for food to survive just like wild animals. The advent of new generation is a significant threshold into a new beginning, where struggle is a confrontation between success and failure. The strong, powerful, rich and successful individual becomes an admiration in a society while the poor are left in disarray. Successful people now enjoy an array of comfort and convenience and have polish their time to benefit the beauty of nature in relaxing mood. Money, fame and success is really the so called wonder of this new generation.

Speaking of success, it is a word that implies, accomplishment, achievement, and triumph in whatever endeavour or path we chose in life. After we all left High School, we have molded ourselves from a mere scratch to become what we are now. To succeed in any undertaking is indeed a very challenging task because we want to mold ourselves believing that there is a good future at stake. Looking back in times we ask ourselves, what really is the essence of success that we are having now? To some, they define success in a different approach, because they believe success is not only regarded as the cornerstone of fame, fortune and wealth but a reflection of an inner satisfaction. Therefore, there is what we perceived as a defining moment to know what the real value of success in the general analysis.

I want to personally acknowledge our batchmates who have succeeded in their own right. These are examples of success that the new generation are bound to emulate. It is a great honor to give due recognition to them as they impart to us in this forumation the fruits of success that they now hold. They withstand the test of time, had overcome challenges and proven themselves that perseverance and determination are the key to a strong foundation in life. I was fascinated that a lot of friends and classmates have succeeded in their chosen career. I for one are a part of it, perhaps in a little way. Hence, It is indeed very personal for me to tell that I am grateful of these accomplishments.

But let me stress this thoughts and ideas that I want to impart to all my batchmates. I knew that the moral fiber for us to succeed after 31 years is to build a good foundation worthy of emulation. And what are these thoughts and ideas that we have to impart? In our society, FAMILY is the basic root of our society. We learned it in high school and we are now a part of this structure in our society.

A FAMILY built with greater respect and admiration is also worthy of emulation. This is by far, the greater strength we can assure on top of being successful in many ways. Parents are the best foundation in the family. The marriage we hold lies the key to a family that binds together. We are now Father and husband but we should set a good example for our children to follow in their quest for a new beginning. The mothers and wife should be in the same footstep while caring and taking charge of our own children.

Teach our children the good values in life, the love and respect to parents that we are now and most importantly their own search for the values and teachings of God and our Savior Jesus Christ. I believe that if we keep the FAMILY strong and all the good values are there, then we have achieved the far reaching effect of the real essence of success. Hawak kamay as what the song implies, no matter what happens, keep the FAMILY intact. The family that prays together, stays together.

So that’s it batchmates, the Ver has started tom and here we are about to get ready for the joyous year and the sprit of christmas is on it's way.

rgds to all my batchmates specially in the pictures above,
James D Duncan

MANNY > Salamat at kinuha ko ang pic ni Susan kasi ang tagal nyang magsubmit, kahit temporary muna. Ayaw ko kasing maggrab ng pic without permission, good you volunteered to offer it. Sana nga Manny ang susunod na set of officers ay talagang seryoso na sa kung saan tinatag ang alumni natin, di ba.

LETZ > Di ko ma-download ang COC! Thanks at may maidagdag ka na naman sa grupo natin here sa Forumotion. AKO TRY KO THIS ARHISTMAS ANG BALIGTAD NA CHRISTMAS TREE ASKI NAKITA MO ANG BAHAY, VACATION HOUSE LANG NA GINAWA NG BAHAY AT MALIIT DI BA SO ISABIT KO ANG TREE KO. Good you liked my suggestion for christmas, some more coming up!!! LETZ PAKIEMAILAN NAMAN SI ELIZABETH RE HOW TOPOST NATIN PLS PLS PLS, THANKS SWEETIE!!

ELIZABETH CABLING > Hindi ka pa namin malatagan ng RED CARPET nila Manny Ace kasi naman wala ka pang post, we're waiting and we're so thrilled to welcome you around! Jesus loves you!!!

JAMES DUNGCA > Napakaganda ng post mo about the true essence of success pero may sinulat ako na tipong clarification but I am for what you wrote, very intelligent!

There's a psychological trap which pretty much everyone is in danger of falling into at some time or another esp. in an alumni association. It is not bad for one group to award that a person is successful cuz everyone got even a droplet of it, but the problem lies with the kind of standard that the group sets up to the choice of who is the most successful. The trap there is the thought that one person may appear to be the most successful yet was the standard used to qualify for the most deserving laid down by a consensus based on a criteria that the majority believes in? Or was it a choice of a handful of people who may have the power and position to take the pick? The psychological trap here is that popularity in the hands of few may insult and defeat the integrity there is in each of those who weathered through the storms in life and came out as gold whose glitters may have been trampled upon by some cheeky, flippant minds in their impulsive clamor to put one in a pedestal and overlook the weightier side of the matter! It’s been a perennial issue that bothers the silent majorities in an Alumni Association which many even today still fall into this trap, and honestly I am so vocal about this because there’s no door for competition in a noble group such as this alumni association not unless there’s an apparent act of excellence in a field that may exemplify the deserved honor! Sana nakuha ako ng madami dito kasi ang awards na dapat ibigay ay yung nagawa sa association at hindi sa nakaraang mga nagawa outside the group diba, kasi sinong huhusga na mas matagumpay ang isa sa ibang maaaring hindi nasasabi ang mga nagawang herowismo sa takot mawala ang gawad ng Dios sa langit di ba? Tama ang sinabi mo na sa family makikita ang tagumpay pero James, hindi ito ang puntos ko, ang pinupuntos ko ay ang pagpili ng naging pinakamatagumpay sa batch, ano mang batch ito good wala pa namang ginagawang ganito sa AHS77 batch natin, at ang sakin eh sana hindi gawin yan kasi mahirap gumawa ng isang basehang konkreto na kung saan masasabi mong ang isa ay mas matagumpay kesa sa iba, di ba? WAG SANA TAYONG MAGING BIKTIMA NG NAPAKADAMING MURMURINGS NA NAKANGITI SA ISANG ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NGUNIT NANDON ANG USAPANG PATALIKOD! Pasalamat ang batch natin may tulad ko na hindi pro sa silent majority and yet may tutol at tinatahimik lang ang mga may katwirang mga pinaglalaban! HINDI LAHAT NG TAO KAYA ANG LUMABAN SA IKABUBUTI, CHRIST IN MERE 3 YEARS DESTROYED THE GLORY OF ROME THAT WAS BUILT IN SEVERAL YEARS. KASAMA NYA ANG 12 DISCIPLES ANG ISA HUDAS PA AND AT THE END, ALL ESCAPED AND ONE DENIED HIM 3 TIMES! Kaya til now ganyan pa din ang mayorya, nananahimik at mamatay sa sama ng loob. Minana natin sa Espanyol na ginawa tayong indyo sa sarili nating bansa!!!

WORD OF WISDOM TO OUR ALUMNI OFFICERS, IF YOU CONSIDER AWARDING BATCHMATES, WELL AND GOOD BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE WE SHOULD LEARN FROM PAST ISSUES NG MGA IBA'T IBANG ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, IF YOU THINK YOU GOT THE RESOURCES ALREADY TO DO AN AWARDS NIGHT, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE AWARDS SHOULD BE MADE ON THE BASIS OF EXEMPLARY ACHIEVEMENTS DONE FOR THE GROUP THAT SHOULD EMBODY OF REFLECT THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE ASSOCIATION WAS CREATED AND SHOULD BE FREE OF CRITERIA BASED ON PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS RACE, ANCESTRY, PLACE OF ORIGIN, COLOUR, ETHNIC ORIGIN, SEX, CREED, AGE, MARITAL STATUS, FAMILY STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OR HANDICAP NEITHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE PAST OUTSIDE THE INTERESTS OF THE GROUP. THE WORST OF COURSE IS FAVORITISM.

Okay, open tayo sa views dito!

TRY THIS AND IT'S EVEN GREAT WHEN YOU PUT LIKE 10 TO 20 PCS OF THESE OLD CD CHRISTMAS DECORS ON YOUR WALLS THEN TURN ON YOUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND CHRISTMAS TREES, GRABE ANG GANDA!!! THIS IS THE INSTRUCTION, SA MEXICAN FRIEND KO ITO NAKUHA NOON....



SANA ISAMA NIYO KIDDIES NIYO SA PAGGAWA FOR MORE FUN!!!

DELETED

Good day everyone! How's everybody doing? Hope you're all fine as well as your whole family, too!

Pareng James -> sabi ko na nga ba eh, you will be very happy once you see your poging-poging picture (ikaw ang may sabi niyan eh), kidding asside, ok nga ang kuha at mukhang kagalang-galang with matching terrific smile kaya hindi makita ang serious side mo. Thanks & it's my pleasure to become the godmother of your bright daughter. Walang age limit ang pagpapa-kumpil, kaya lang sa school where my kids finished their elementary required, required silang kumpilan kapag Grade VI na at yung ayaw ng ibang parents na isabay sa school, ok lang din, while others ay napakumpilan na rin nung mas bata p, at yung mga non-catholic siyempre ay hindi kasali. Fyi, yung only brother ko ay nakumpilan nung 20+ years old na siya & would you believe yung isang brother-in-law ko naman (husband ng youngest sister ko na Nurse), before they got married lang nagpakumpil kasi nakaligtaan naman ng mother niya. Dito kasi sa atin, kapag Catholic Church wedding, aside sa Birth Certificate & Baptismal Certificate, require din ang Confirmation Certificate (para siguradong nakumpilan), may mga Catholic Churches normally ang schedule nila ng kumpil ay during the Fiesta Celebration ng kanilang Patron Saint. And siyempre, there will be no problem din at all kay Roel in case matuloy nga na isa kami sa magiging legal na kumpare at kumare mo. But for now, it seems we're comfortable naman na to call each other as kumpare & kumare (which means we're really more than close friends di ba, dahil may mga pinagsamahan na tayo during our high school days, lalo na kayo ni Roel dahil grade school pa lang ay magka-klase, magka-lugar at magkaibigan na kayo during your Paco days). Talagang like Larry ha, lumalabas ang genuine talent ninyo when it comes sa Journalism

Larry -> fyi, I replied na your e-mail this morning & your message here regarding the copy of the COC. Nagtataka ako bakit hindi ma-open yung attachment ko, anyhow, I copied/pasted it na lang para sure na lang. Uy, ang cute din ng used CD na pwedeng-pwede ngang gawaing Christmas decoration at bahala na tayong maglagay of any designs & accessories na gusto natin. I know na yung mga batchmates natin na nasa Middle East, hindi nila masyadong mararamdaman ang spirit of Christmas dahil nga nasa Muslim countries sila. But for sure, in their hearts, masaya sila thinking how their family will celebrate the holiday season. Ok yung picture ni Susan, maganda siya lalo kapag naka-smile. I will follow-up na rin to her that you're waiting for her recent picture para maipost dito. Last night nga pala Larry, I replied din Beth Cabling's e-mail & I already mentioned there yung susunod na step after her registration. She's working sa U.K. kaya weekends lang normally siya may free time, wait na lang din tayo sa magiging reply niya sa e-mail ko. I will be sending her another e-mail nga pala to request her to send her recent picture for you to post here at para makita rin natin siya.

Thought for the day: "The things that go on in an ear & out of the other dooesn't hurt as much as the things that go in one ear, get all mixed-up and then skip out of the mouth."

To all of you my dear batchmates -> hello & warm regards!!!

Always,

Letty

MAGNIFICO!!! This is the for me the best word that describes the new look of our site. The artist in Larry Perez Tan is at work again. How lucky and honor we are to have him as our chief Barista..

I noticed that element of traceability was considered in the design of the site . Date of registration and number of postings are very visible as well as valuable indicators on how we utilized this site. It's probably a way for our great admin. in reminding us that "We can run but we can never hide". Again MAGNIFICO!!


Seeing these reminders , now i learned that i am the first registered user of this site which is of course after Kuya Larry which would make me then a candidate to receive an Early Bird Award come Anniversary of this site. hehehe. Just for fun .. Why don't we give some funny/ cute awards to members of this site on our anniversary. . Awards like
1) Lulubog Lilitaw award (pasulpot sulpot magpost)
2) Most Religous Award ( masipag na magpost )
3) Matimtiman Cruz Award ( maiksi mag post )
4) Charo Santos Award (para sa mala Maalaala mo kaya na posting))
5) Gabriela Silang o Mother Teresa Award etc. etc.

Sa dami ng creative artist sa atin palagay ko maraming award ang maiimbento. Mas maganda ito kaysa sa award na maraming ka ek ekan ( pasensya na nagaya na ko sa anik anik ni Ka Igme) What do you think Kapihan brothers and sisters???.

(to be continued )

It's my lunchtime once again, and as promised, I would like to complete my GTKPI's unfinished portions.
For the joke that I would like to share with all of you:
A McDonalds love story..

A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonalds one cold winter evening.

They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating there that night..

Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking:

"Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!"

The little old man walked up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal.

The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray.

There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink.

The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half.

He placed one half in front of his wife.

Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink, and then his wife took a sip as the man began to eat his few bites.

Again, you could tell what people around the old couple were saying. - "They were used to sharing everything"

Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady still hadn't eaten a thing.

She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally sipped some of the drink.

A young man came over and begged them to let him buy them another meal.

The lady explained that no, they were used to sharing.

As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin, the young man could stand it no longer and asked again.

After being politely refused again, he finally asked the little old lady, "Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything.


What is it that you are waiting for?"



She answered,


"THE TEETH"

Hope I made your day happy. Be back soon, this will be quick! Singit ko lang posting, so bawas sa utang ko.
Till the next post.....more to follow!
Ingat kayo lagi, be happy and God bless you!

Here's something for all of us to ponder...

GOD’S TEACHING ABOUT LOVE
Nothing can separate us from the love of God. It's in the Bible,
Romans 8:38-39
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Life Application
These verses contain one of the most comforting promises in all Scripture.
Believers have always had to face hardships in many forms: persecution, illness, imprisonment, and even death. These sometimes cause them to fear that they have been abandoned by Christ.
But Paul exclaims that it is impossible to be separated from Christ. His death for us is proof of his unconquerable love. Nothing can separate us from Christ’s presence . God tells us how great his love is so that we will feel totally secure in him. If we believe these overwhelming assurances, we will not be afraid.

God's love is sacrificial. It's in the Bible,
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Life Application
The message of the Good News comes to a focus in this verse. God’s love is not static or self-centered; it reaches out and draws others in. Here God sets the pattern of true love, the basis for all love relationships—when you love someone dearly, you are willing to give freely to the point of self-sacrifice. God paid dearly with the life of his Son, the highest price he could pay. Jesus accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life that he had bought for us.
When we share the Good News with others, our love must be like Jesus’—willingly giving up our own comfort and security so that others might join us in receiving God’s love.
Some people are repulsed by the idea of eternal life because their lives are miserable. But eternal life is not an extension of a person’s miserable, mortal life; eternal life is God’s life embodied in Christ given to all believers now as a guarantee that they will live forever.
In eternal life there is no death, sickness, enemy, evil, or sin. When we don’t know Christ, we make choices as though this life is all we have. In reality, this life is just the introduction to eternity. Receive this new life by faith and begin to evaluate all that happens from an eternal perspective.
To “believe” is more than intellectual agreement that Jesus is God. It means to put our trust and confidence in him that he alone can save us. It is to put Christ in charge of our present plans and eternal destiny.
Believing is both trusting his words as reliable, and relying on him for the power to change. If you have never trusted Christ, let this promise of everlasting life be yours—and believe.

God's love lasts forever. It's in the Bible,
Psalm 136:1
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever."

How is love described? It's in the Bible,
I Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him."
Life Application
Our society confuses love and lust. Unlike lust, God’s kind of love is directed outward toward others, not inward toward ourselves. It is utterly unselfish. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations.
It is impossible to have this love unless God helps us set aside our own natural desires so that we can love and not expect anything in return. Thus, the more we become like Christ, the more love we will show to others.

We are commanded to love one another. It's in the Bible,
I John 2:7-8
"Dear brothers, I am not writing out a new rule for you to obey, for it is an old one you have always had, right from the start. You have heard it all before. Yet it is always new, and works for you just as it did for Christ; and as we obey this commandment, to love one another, the darkness in our lives disappears and the new light of life in Christ shines in."
Life Application
The commandment to love others is both old and new. It is old because it comes from the Old Testament (Leviticus 19:1. It is new because Jesus interpreted it in a radically new way (John 13:34-35).
In the Christian church, love is not only expressed by showing respect; it is also expressed through self-sacrifice and servanthood (John 15:13). In fact, it can be defined as “selfless giving,” reaching beyond friends to enemies and persecutors (Matthew 5:43-4.
Love should be the unifying force and the identifying mark of the Christian community. Love is the key to walking in the light, because we cannot grow spiritually while we hate others. Our growing relationship with God will result in growing relationships with others.

Love is not just for friends. It's in the Bible,
Matthew 5:43-44
"There is a saying, 'Love your friends and hate your enemies.' But I say: Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!"
Life Application
By telling us not to retaliate, Jesus keeps us from taking the law into our own hands. By loving and praying for our enemies, we can overcome evil with good.
The Pharisees interpreted Leviticus 19:18 as teaching that they should love only those who love in return, and Psalms 139:19-22 and 140:9-11 as meaning that they should hate their enemies.
But Jesus says we are to love our enemies. If you love your enemies and treat them well, you will truly show that Jesus is Lord of your life. This is possible only for those who give themselves fully to God, because only he can deliver people from natural selfishness. We must trust the Holy Spirit to help us show love to those for whom we may not feel love.

God's law is summed up in love. It's in the Bible,
Matthew 22:37-40
"Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Life Application
Jesus said that if we truly love God and our neighbor, we will naturally keep the commandments. This is looking at God’s law positively. Rather than worrying about all we should not do, we should concentrate on all we can do to show our love for God and others.

Love for God is shown through keeping His commandments. It's in the Bible,
I John 5:3
"For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."


Life Application
Jesus never promised that obeying him would be easy. But the hard work and self-discipline of serving Christ is no burden to those who love him. And if our load starts to feel heavy, we can always trust Christ to help us bear it (see Matthew 11:28-30).

Don't let your love for God weaken. It's in the Bible,
Revelation 2:4-5
"Yet there is one thing wrong; you don't love me as at first! Think about those times of your first love (how different now!) and turn back to me again and work as you did before."
Life Application
Just as when a man and woman fall in love, so also new believers rejoice at their newfound forgiveness. But when we lose sight of the seriousness of sin, we begin to lose the thrill of our forgiveness (see 2 Peter 1:9). In the first steps of your Christian life, you may have had enthusiasm without knowledge. Do you now have knowledge without enthusiasm?
Both are necessary if we are to keep love for God intense and untarnished (see Hebrews 10:32, 35). Do you love God with the same fervor as when you were a new Christian?

TILL MY NEXT POST....

TAKE CARE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Faith-promoting
I can’t thank you enough for the timely, relevant, and faith-promoting stories in the Tambuli, the Church magazine that we receive here in the Philippines. The articles help me improve my relationships with my family, my neighbors, and, especially, with my Father in Heaven.

Each time I read the magazine, my burdens are made easier, my faith is strengthened, and I am assured that, despite my shortcomings, God really listens to my prayers.

My two-year-old son has developed an interest in the children’s section of the magazine, and I can almost feel how thrilled he is as we read through the children’s articles together. Reading the magazine together has helped bind our family closer and fortified us against worldly pressure.

HAHAHAHA, MAGANDA YAN THEN GAGAWA AKO NG E-AWARD OR E-TROPHY FOR EACH AWARD MAGANDA DI BA!!! OCTOBER 22, 2008 ANG GAWAD AWARDS NIGHT NATIN!!!

PER YOUR IP ADDRESS CHECKINGS, KASI NAKITA KITANG ONLINE SO I SURVEILED YOUR PLACE....


AKALA KO ITO ANG PLACE MO NOW, SAN KA BA SA NGAYON BUDDY ACE? Al Anbar Province, Al Asad, Iraq?

MAAYONG ADLAW SA INYONG TANAN!

Larry – Natapos na ba ang pagsabit ng ‘signage’ sa arko ng village ninyo? Ok lang ‘Bay, padala ka pa ng mga pampasakit ng ulo ko – stress reliever ko yan, alam mo ba. Next time padala pa ako ng ibang pix ko para sa 1st year Anniversary ng Kapihan natin ‘Tol.

Ok din ang pinakita mo na pag decorate ng bahay lalo na kung medyo masikip ang bahay. Totoo ang sinabi mo tungkol sa pag put up ng Christmas Tree sa US, usually after Thankgiving Holiday talaga. The day after Thanksgiving is called ‘Black Friday’ (not in a bad way) it is more on Sales – that is the day na expected ng mga stores na makabawi sila sa pagkalugi (no longer ‘in the red’ kaya ‘black Friday’ (positive in accounting). .Saka ang idea mo na pag gawa ng Chirstmas décor grom old CD’s. Ok lang ang ginawa mo na pag delete sa mga ‘over the bakod’ na messages. Actually may nag over the bakod agad … ha ha ha!

Hinihintay ko din ang engrandeng pagpasok ni Elizabeth Cabiling – syempre kasama mo ako maglalatag ng RED CARPET treatment para sa kanya. I agree with you Dudong Larry pagdating sa mga pag bestow ng mga awards. It is well and good to wallow and be euphoric sa mga past achievements, it is ok to celebrate for a moment then move on. The future lies ahead, more challenges and obstacle to conquer. I like your Word of Wisdom na na-impart sa up and coming Alumni Officers. Genius ka lagi ‘Bay.

Letty – Natutuwa ako at madadagdagan na naman tayo dito sa Kapihan. Umpisa na talaga ang patugtog ng mga Christmas songs kasi nga nasa … BER na tayo ng mga remaining months of the year. Napakabilis talaga ng panahon, parang kailan lang January, ngayon September na. Before we know it, New Years na welcoming 2009 – another year maturity for all of us. Marami na sa atin ang malapit ng mag half century, actually meron na nga di ba.

James Dunca – Ok ang decertation mo about the ESSENCE OF SUCCESS. Itong henerasyon natin ay always looking sa money, fame, status and beauty when it comes to labeling someone to be ‘successful’. Agree ako sa sinabi mo na: “To some, they define success in a different approach, because they believe success is not only regarded as the cornerstone of fame, fortune and wealth but a reflection of an inner satisfaction”. Same sa FAMILY as the foundation of our society.

Freddie – ok ang mga naisip mo na mga ‘Funny Awards’ to our Batchmates. Paminsan minsan nag e-explore din ako ditto sa Kapihan natin, sa mga different features na available to see and utilize. Malapit na nga ang 1st Anniversay ng Kapihan. Mabuhay tayong lahat.

Larry – sagutan ko lang ang dalawa sa IQ Brain Teaser mo ha, para naman ang ibang Batchmantes natin eh magamit ang mga gray matters nila … he he he:lol!:

IQ BRAIN TEASER: 5 of the following items have a relationship with a word that is not shown. Decide which item/word that does not have this relationship:

[g; Jedi; thumb; mass; acceleration; nature]

The first thing that came to mind is the word “FORCE”:

G-FORCE – like in a fighter plane, the pilot experience lots of g-forces. Para sa common people – like riding the roller-coaster, pag pa-akyat – nadidiin ka sa upuan (positive-g) at pag pababa naman – it feels like umaangat ka sa upuan (negative-g).

Jedi – “May the FORCE be with you” sabi nga ni Obi-Wan Kenobi kay Luke Skywallker. I am a Star Wars fan kaya alam ko yan. Jedi use the ‘good side’ of the FORCE to do good not like Darth Vader na inembrace nya ang ‘dark side’ of the FORCE.

Mass/Acceleration – this reminded me of Sir Isaac Newton’s second law. MASS = FORCE X ACCELERATION.

Nature – like typhoon, hurricane, earthquake – These are FORCES of nature.

Wala akong maikonek na FORCE sa thumb – so my answer is “THUMB” as the word not having any relationship with the rest of the words.

IQ BRAIN TEASER: 5 of the following words relate to a word that is not shown. One word has no relationship with the missing word. Decide which of these does not belong:

[natural; leap;cooking;mask;sag;chlorine]

On this one, the word that came to my mind is “GAS”

Natural GAS – every person has a natural gas (tama ba ako? … ha ha ha)

Cooking – LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Dati kerosene at gatong na kahoy ang gamit naming. Ngayon eh tangke na ng LPG.

Mask – may issue kami na Mark V gas mask for any NBC (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) warfare attack. Gas Mask.

Sag – nahirapan ako dito, akala ko una yung 'sag' na luyloy na. Pero ibinaligtad ko ang letters and it spelled ‘GAS’

Chlorine – another dangerous type of GAS. Nakakamatay oras na malanghap mo in great concentration. Kahit na konti lang, makaka experience ka ng discomfort.

Leap – wala akong makonek na ano mang bagay ang word na ito sa GAS. So may aswer is “LEAP” as the word na hindi belong sa other words.

Hanggang sa susunod mga Batchmates. Take care and Peace Out!

Manny.Ace.Fresh:farao:

Post Script: Dudong Larry - tama ka Buddy, ang main server namin ay nasa Houston, Texas Routed thru Dubai and London. Hindi ko din ma-explain, but that is the best I can. Katulad ng VOIP number ko, ang area code kung hahanapin mo is Houston (713) prefix.

Dami talaga na co-confuse:roll: pag nakikita nila ang IP address ko na nasa Houston, even my VOIP telephone number. Maski family ko nuon, ayaw maniwala na nasa Iraq ako, baka nagtatago lang daw ako sa Houston, Texas. Maski man ako, nagulat nung tingnan ko sa map ng Kapihan natin na everytime mag log in oh mag-view ako eh Houston, Texas ang origination ng IP address ko. Ang gagawin ko 'Tol Larry is to have a picture taken with a Stars and Stripes dated para verificado ... ha ha ha:lol!: .

Good also na nakita mo ang kontak for Leanel Melad, hope to hear from her soon and join us here

FOR IQ TEST NO. 2:
The answer is 'thumb'. All of the other words relate to the word FORCE: g force, Jedis use the force, Force = Mass x Acceleration, the term 'a force of nature'

IQ TEST NO. 5:
LEAP does not belong. All of the other words relate to the word GAS: natural gas, cooking with gas (this is an expression and a common practice), gas mask, 'sag' is 'gas' backwards, and chlorine gas (which is highly toxic).

MANNY ACE, TALAGANG WALA AKONG MASABI SA TAAS NG IQ MO! NAAALALA MO BA NOON NA LAGI TAYONG MAGKAKASABAY KUMAIN SA CANTEEN NILA ELMER DE GUZMAN NOONG FIRST AND SECOND YEARS NATIN! GOOD YOU AGREE WITH MY INSIGHTS, MATALINO KA DIN, SALUDO AKO SAYO!!! KASI USUALLY MGA LALAKE MAHILIG SA BRAINTEASERS ANG MGA GIRLS EWAN HAHAHAHA, PERO SI LETTY HUMIHIRIT AT SI PRISLETTE. NAKAKAMISS NA SOBRA SI PRISLETTE. ASAHAN KO PICS MO FOR OUR ANNIV HANE?

RUDY VICTOR INGIAEN > SAN KA NA SUPER MISS KA NA NAMIN, LETZ PAKITAWAGAN MO NGA YAN O PLS!!!

LARRY - MARAMING SALAMAT DUDONG. OO NAMAN, NATATANDAAN KO NA SABAY TAYO KUMAKAIN SA CANTEEN NI ELMER DE GUZMAN. KAYA NGA NAGULAT AKO NUNG TAWAGAN MO AKO NUNG NASA CALIFORNIA KA PA. SA TOTOO LANG, NA LOST TOUCH AKO NG MAHABANG PANAHON. PURO TRABAHO AKO AT ASIKASO SA MGA BATA. HOMEWORK NILA, FIELD TRIPS, VOLUNTEER SA SCHOOL AT COACHING LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL. ON TOP OF THAT THE CONSTANT DEPLOYMENT SA IBA'T IBANG BAHAGI NG MUNDO.

IT IS GOOD NOW NA NAGKAROON ULI TAYO NG PAGKAKATAON MAGKONEK 'TOL. MARAMING SALAMAT SA IYO. TUNAY KA TALAGANG KAIBIGAN, HINDI KA NAG GIVE UP NA HANAPIN AKO AT NAKITA KO DIN SA MGA DATI MONG POSTINGS NA IPANAALAM MO NA NAKITA MO AKO. FORGIVE MO LANG KUNG NA-MISLED KA NG IP ADDRESS KO. BUKAS MAY I-SCAN AKO NA DOCUMENT PATUNAY HA.

AKO MAN MISS KO NA SI PRISLETTE, NASOBRAHAN NA YATA SA PAGBAKASYON. DI BA AAKYAT DAW SILA NG WASHINGTON STATE AT BIBILI NG LAPTOP SA OREGON. DODIE ASAN KA NA?

OH LETZ, PRISLETTE ... KAYO NAMAN SA IBANG BRAIN TEASERS NI LARRY. YUNG MGA MISSING IN ACTION DYAN ... BAKA MA-MUG SHOT KAYO NI LARRY ... SIGE KAYO BALIK MO NGA YUN 'TOL LARRY. ANG PAG MUG SHOT.

Hello mga Dudung Batchmates musta ulit kayo diyan??

Great to hear Larry you found some clue as to the whereabout of Leanel Melad, the ever so beautiful girl and one of the classmate in Journalism. I knew this lass so much at one of the mabait tlaga. It was around 1985 ata when I saw her in Paco Herran as I was about to visit my girlfriend that time. I noticed her talaga and they are holding hands with one guy..which I recognized is Elmer Sumagpao. My classmate in 2nd year kaya I knew him so well. They got married na pala kaya I greeted them and diko akalain sila pala ang magkatuluyan. They also told me na they were both Mormons na rin and even encouraging me that time to join them. Sana both of them will join sa forumation so we can give the a rousing welcome here. Masaya at dumarami na tayo kaya magnda yun idea ni Pareng Alfred okey ako diyan hehehehe…

Mareng Letty,
Nung nalaman ko na nagkatuluyan kayo ni Pareng Roel ay matagal ko ng iniisip surname ni Elmer Sumagpao pero diko tlaga matandaan. Siya kasi ang alam ko na batchmates bukod sa inyo nina Priscilla ang mga nagkatuluyan. So there it is huli na, siya nga si Elmer at si Mrs Leanel Melad Sumagpao. The question is, sino pa kaya bukod sa inyong 3 pairs na batchmates ang nagkatuluyan? Sana we can find out.

Nice to see the pic of Susan Alonzo, di pa rin nagbago ang kanyang looks. Si Thelma diko na masyado marecognize sa pics kasi nakasalamin but she’s still very pretty pa rin. Ang isang nakakalito kung sino yung long hair at parang director na hawig ni Carlo Caparas (long hair pero walang baseball cap) ay ito palang si Master Triffy………haneppppp kung hindi nilagay ni Larry ang name sa caption diko tlaga marecognize na si Master Triffy pala yun.


So okey mga feedback mo sa akin sa kumpil yes we can set this out. My only concern was when I went home on vacation yung aking mag-iina looks like na-influenced na sa Baptist Church but I don’t disagree on that. Pinapili ko sila between their choice of Baptist Church and Catholic Church, they choose the former. And I still stick myself to being a catholic Christian kasi I am a member of Couples for Christ at naging Lay Minister pa. So we agreed to respect our own choice of Christian faith. In most cases naman,we pray together din. The problem lays down ay yung pagkumpil kumpil ang alam ko sa catholic faith lang yun, pano kaya yung bunso ko sa ganung situation. Siguro sa pag-uwi ko I will find out how to resolve that issue. Gets moba yung sinabi ko ditto?

Kwento lang muna mga dudung batchmates, Start na ng Ramadhan ditto sa Qatar yesterday pa. One month na naman na sacrifice ito dahil sa office bawal ang kumain at uminom na may nakakakita na muslims, with due respect to their fasting. So we make tago after 12:00 o clock sa lugar na di kami kita. Broken time din ang work sched at pumasok na rin ako pero paupo-upo lang dun at patingin tingin lang naman. Okey nga kasi kaunti lang ang time to stay in office at ayun uwi na. After 1:00pm ay close na lahat ng office pati mga malls at mag open sila 6:00pm at some ay 7:00pm. Di rin pare pareho ang time nila. Okey lang bumili ng food sa mga stores like chichirya o fruits pero wg kakain sa kalye after bumili at baka masita magalit patay tayo jan.

But Doha is an open country naman just like Dubai unlike sa Riyadh Saudi na super sa conservative. Dito ay hindi ganun kahigpit at maluwag ang gov’t to give due recognition sa mga Christians to practice their faith. In fact, the most expensive and the best architectural design of Catholic church you can find in the whole of middle east ay ditto lang sa Qatar matatagpuan. Newly built ito last April 2008 only.

O siya mga Dudung …todits na muna at God bless to all batchmates,Priscilla,Manny Ace,Thelma,Mareng Ehris,Ellie,Triffy,Manny Dabu,Ramir,Anna,Nette,PAreng Randy,Ronnie,Alfred,Manny Cortez,Larry, Jun Papa, at iba pa

Rgds,

Naku my dear friends....para akong dumaan sa gauntlet bago ko na-discover kung papano mag-post ulit. Tyaga talaga ako for three days na di ko alam saan ako magpo-post. Ayun, sa kaka-try, natuto ulit. Out of desperation, nakarating ako sa Chat room at nag-post ako ng SOS for someone to help me navigate. Pero ok na ako. Ang hirap talaga ng tumatanda. Mahirap turuan sa mga bagong technology. Makakita lang ng bago, nagpa-panic na ha-ha-ha


How's everybody? Hi James Dunca(n) and Jaime D, Manny Cagape and Manny C, Anabel (Pye) and Anabel (ATG)...Ang cute naman at ang dami natin ditong magkapareho ng names.

Dear Prislette, Dodie and Pye...gusto naming inggitin kayo ni Nanette. Nag-sentimental journey kami ni Nanette sa ating mga buhay over a sumptuous dinner (treat ni Nanette). Hay naku...as usual...puro high school days. Ang nakakatuwa, may mga assumptions noon tayo na sa kagustuhan nating irespeto ang isa't isa, never tayong nag-dare na magtanong. Hay naku...tawa kami ng tawa ni Nanette nung nagdi-discover na kami ng mga "maling akala" na ngayon lang nalinawan. Prislette and Dodie, I'm sure yung mga kalokohan nyong dalawa, di rin alam ni Nanette. Sana nga magkita-kita na tayo ulit ano? Miss ko na kayo talaga.

till my next message, friends. Take care...

Kuya Larry - My favorite PI filed his report yesterday regarding our search for EDG. Part of the report says:
" Relatives of the subject in Pateros can not give me exact information on the current whereabout of EDG. They told me that he is always in transit (USA and Canada) and has not communicated with them recently.
Considering above circumstances, i am officially terminating my search on the subject here in the Philippines. Should you wish to extend my services and continue the search, I will submit a revised contract incorporating expenses reflecting future cost. Since the search will require me to travel to Canada and USA, charges will all be in USDollar denomination."

My reply :
Dear PI,

Thank you for the services you have renderd in the search of our friend EDG. As part of our NO E MAIL NO PAY POLICY AGREEMENT , i regret to inform you that you will not receive any compensation or allowed to reimburse your expenses associated with the search.
With regards to your offer of service extension, I am deeply sorry to tell you that never will i do business with you again. However, asa gesture of professionalism and for you not to accuse me of being heartless, i am preparing a Letter of Commendation for your exceptional Failure signed by our Chief Administrator (Larry Perez Tan ). You shall receive this on the AWARDS NIGHT of our KAPIHAN.


So that's it Kuya Larry , hindi tayo nagtagumpay sa paghahanap sa iyong best Friend. Kailangan na natin talaga ng tulong from our super friends sa Tate at Canada, Umaasa pa rin ako na bigla na lang tayong magugulantang sa kanyang pagdating...

Hangang sa muli at magandang araw sa inyong lahat.
